Reviews of professor Valeria Nappi- Giordano

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr G is super passionate about what she is teaching, which is super apparent during her lectures. She loves questions and class discussion. If you don't go to class, you definitely will struggle. There's only about 4 hw assignments for the whole semester and the textbook isn't mandatory, but it's definitely a helpful reference when studying.

I love Dr. G! The subject matter itself is extremely hard if you don't study. I feel like all the people who don't like her are the people who refuse to make the time to study and review. Also she's super nice so idk what half these people had to do to her. Studying in this class is important, esp because really small details can appear on tests.

Absolutely ruined my GPA. I would never recommend this Professor to anyone I know! She was very rude and lashed out on the class several times. Tests are full of errors. The final was even worse! Tests are fill in the blank (which dont make sense), short answer, essay, and an occasional multiple choice/multiple answer. Took forever to grade work.

Dr. G is an awesome teacher. She is so nice, funny, and cares about helping you. Yes, this course is very difficult but that is absolutely not her fault that biology is hard. She goes through the material fast but again its not her fault that you need to learn so much information in the required time. She is an understanding person also

Her class is about what you expect for college level Biology but she cares about her students and makes lecture interesting
