Reviews of professor Barbara Michelato

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you do not show up to every class and pay attention start to finish - you will not do well. She is super fast paced & will only stop if you speak up. I thought she was fine - harsh grader & very high expectations, treated us like adults. You absolutely need to do the homework to understand the content. She is available outside class & was kind.

This professor is by far the worst one I have ever had. She does not teach very well all she does is read off of packets. She makes a lot of mistakes in her own lectures and TAs at times are lost in what she does as well. The tests are absurdly hard and the practice exams she gives out do not help at all.  Do not take this professor PLEASE!

Class avrages between 50-60% are normal. Very cruel grading policy and no curving

Avoid at all costs. You will have to teach yourself all the material because Dr. Michelato is a terrible lecturer. It is very easy to fall behind if you do not spend a lot of time outside of class keeping up. Quizzes and tests are really the only way to save your grade.

In my opinion, the professor is cool she just doesn't explain well enough, and her accent does make it hard to understand. It's ridiculous that you get 0 points for not showing enough work on the homework assignments but other than that, the course isn't too bad.

Lectures are very difficult to follow as she doesn't explain and goes very quick, despite many students asking otherwise. Weekly quizzes with no partial credit, hours of homework per week (doesn't even help your grade), and no curves. Expect lots of mistakes during lecture as she either purposely or accidentally messes up.
