Reviews of professor Christine Guardino

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Guardino was harsh with grading, gave almost no positive feedback, and expected students to remember everything and anything from lecture. Took points off if you did not say exactly what she was looking for. Exam averages were very low for a 100 level class. No curves. Was rude/off putting when students asked questions/answered differently

Professor Guardino was great. She was understanding and always put in effort to try and solve issues with you. Some lectures and lab feel like busy work, but you feel like you come out of it learning something. Both exams were open note and it felt like she was more invested in us learning than trying to stress us out; she also graded quite easily

Honestly one of the worst professors I have had at this school. She provides very vague guidelines for assignments and exams and then takes off points when you don't give the exact answer she is looking for. She doesn't make participating comfortable in her classroom. Overall, the content wasn't difficult, but the class was extremely frustrating.

I had Prof. Guardino for Health Psych. Very interesting class and she's a great professor. Pretty standard for a 100-level psych course, and there are multiple group projects. She doesn't grade harshly, so as long as you follow the rubrics, you'll do fine.

overall, the class itself wasn't bad but she is a harsh grader. This will not be an easy A class and if you don't have to take it, I wouldn't recommend it. You will need to read the textbook a lot. Exams are few but harder than you think.
