Reviews of professor Maria Hoelzli

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Amazing professor! She made a tough semester a lot easier to get through. She sparked an interest in me and because of her I'm continuing to study Italian. I just wish she taught the next level to take one of her classes again. One of the best professors I've had at Adelphi.

This professor is quite literally the worst teacher I have had in college. She humiliates students and does not excuse FAMILY EMERGENCIES. She makes a big deal out of every little mistake, even technical difficulties. She goes on lectures to make everyone feel stupid. I would strongly recommend taking another teachers course.

She is a thorough professor, gives you so many helpful notes, and her tests are not too bad. You definitely have to study and know your stuff because she picks on people randomly to answer questions and share their homework. Although she can be tough with students at times, she really does mean well and is a good professor.

She is passive aggressive and humiliates students when they make a mistake or take time to answer a question. Her "lessons" were review sheets and instead of having students use the language we answered textbook questions as "practice". If you take her course, which I don't advise, be prepared to teach Italian to yourself and deal with her attitude

Good professor, she made me want to continue with Italian. If you come to class with your homework done then you're fine she just wants to see that the efforts there - even if your answers are wrong. The review guides help with exams and she makes all the due dates really clear.

Professor Hoelzli is an amazing professor. She really wants students to learn & makes it clear what she expects of you. She does call on students randomly so be prepared to answer. Her review sheets help a lot for the exams & all the notes are on moodle so you can access them at any time

Very unprofessional. Cant possibly respect her as a professor. Her Time management skills are non existent and she does not fulfill her responsibilities as a professor. You need to teach yourself the course which is obviously not what youre paying thousands of dollars for. Avoid at all costs.

You can tell she tries really hard to make online class feel like an in person class which makes learning the language a lot easier. She genuinely cares about her students and is willing to listen and work with you if you have any problems outside of class. Overall really great professor, definitely recommend taking her class.
