Reviews of professor Alexandra Portaro

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
avoid at all costs!! puts a huge front so dont let that fool you. she assigns multiple heavy group projects, unforgiving when evaluating students, and expects a lot during a pandemic. midterm was heavily based on prerecorded lectures and consistently makes attending class optional. you teach this course yourself and get penalized for missing things

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Portaro is a very knowledgable professor and, while her class was definitely the most difficult of all my classes, she genuinely does care about the students. She makes you work for it, which I don't think is a bad thing. Yes, there is a ton of work that needs to be done, but you learn so much useful information for a career in healthcare.
