Film 106 C: African, Asian, and Latin American film Prof. Carreras is an amazing professor! She really knows how to evaluate film, and she pushes us to know more than the basics about a movie. We learn history and maps and talk about literature and politics. She wants us to be intellectual critics. Her three essays were fair, and they pushed me to think more critically about film and research. Read, work hard, pay attention, and take advantage of having this great professor!

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.
