Summer 2025 - In every sense of the word, Professor De Las Carreras is exceptional. From day one, she created a space where students felt both intellectually challenged and genuinely supported and she sustained that energy with unmatched consistency. Every paper I wrote for her class benefited from her sharp, thoughtful feedback. She engaged with my ideas, asked the hard questions that pushed me to think deeper, write sharper, and step outside my comfort zone intellectually. Her insights made me want to rewrite, to grow, to get better. What truly sets her apart is her generosity with time and attention. I could count on a thoughtful, detailed email response within hours — every time, without fail. Even when I asked complex or open-ended questions, she met them with care, depth, and a willingness to discuss. That kind of responsiveness and respect for students’ curiosity is rare, and it never went unnoticed. Her ability to guide conversations with nuance, offer new perspectives I hadn’t considered, and still leave room for students to discover their own voice is a gift. If you get the chance to take a class with Professor De Las Carreras, do not miss it. She’s one of those rare professors who will leave a mark long after the quarter ends.

Spring 2019 - Let me save you ten weeks of your life. Don't take it. Nope. Don't. This was the most disorganized class I've taken at UCLA and it's unfortunate because this class had the potential to be great. The professor was less than competent to teach, even though he clearly has the knowledge. The TAs run the class because the professor is clueless as to what is happening with the course. You will wish you were anywhere else than in that lecture... The class has 3 papers and a final exam. Readings every week posted on CCLE. Pick a different film class, this one just isn't worth your time.
