Reviews of professor Margaret Ariotti

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Ariotti is extremely knowledgable about African politics in addition to being funny, personable, and caring for her students. For the actual class it felt like most of what we did was watch documentaries which was kinda boring but can be enjoyable. Participation is optional, there are few assignments, no tests, and only a final paper (no exam).

Dr. Ariotti is a great professor! She sets up her class in a way that will make it easy for you to get higher grades. 50% of the class are online weekly ELC quizzes that you can use your textbook to complete. Attendance is not taken daily, but she randomly gives activities throughout the semester where you turn in something with your name on it.

Dr. A is one of the best profs SPIA has. She knows her African & Comp Politics and is really passionate about it. I've had her for both 3300 & 4300 and am always trying to find more classes with her. She doesn't give rubrics for homeworks or papers but clearly describes what she wants in the assignment. Talks fast bc is a NYer. Take her if you can!
