Reviews of professor Iole Alessandrini

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very opinionated on teaching and grading. Grading is unreasonably brutal, and tests are painfully difficult, and the same test or project can get vastly different grades depending on her mood. She seems very nice as a person, but she's one of only 2 teachers or professors I've ever had and considered "bad". Almost all of my class had Ds

Her grading criteria changes on a dime, and don't expect to see your grades until 4 weeks after the quiz. As a trans student, she accused me of faking my proof of absence (which, btw, you'll for sure need) since the legal name on the proof was different from my in-class name. This happened twice. Also she makes the TAs grade everything for her.

She has the potential as a professor, but she is not trained enough to teach properly. Her tests often consist of knowledge that was either not covered or not highlighted as important in class, and her grading is VERY harsh. Word is that the only reason she isn't gone is because of a statewide teacher shortage.

Only 4 assignments through the entire semester, all 4 being quizzes. For a professor who constantly told us to just copy and paste on the quiz, she sure did randomly crack down suPER hard on the last quiz and force students to write a 2 page essay in 2 days or fail the class. She is brutally against missing class, making you submit lots of "proof".
