Alba Torrents ENCE411 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/22/2023	Definitely the hardest class I've taken at UMD! But Torrents is a fun professor who likes to get to know her students. Some of her explanations are hard to follow so it can be useful to study on your own/follow a Youtube video to have things explained to you in a different way. Going to class is a must so she can start recognizing you and understand that you are putting in the work. Just start grinding early and don't be scared to reach out to Torrents :)

You can make this class fun if you want it to be fun, and Torrents is a very easy professor to get along with. You will only get less than a C in this class if you do ******* work with your partners.

The topics taught in class are relevant to actual field-work and are interesting. Material in class was supplemented by field trips to water treatment facilities, which were really cool. 411 is definitely a lot of work and in my opinion should be a 4 credit course, but this is not the professor's fault at all (the general engineering office is to blame). Dr. Torrents always held office hours to help explain material. She is a very good professor!

She gives too much work because she doesn't run the class herself, its run my a possie of her incompetent, disgruntled, and frankly *** TA's. Labs NEVER worked. Not once. We would be forced to write long lab reports that were 10 pages on the many errors involved in the lab. Lab reports were weekly and took every group at least 10 hours a week to finish. shes a **
