Reviews of professor Celia Faiola

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Very consistent and solid professor. Always the same amount of assignments per week that are not very hard. 2 pre lecture quizzes, 2 groupwork discussions that are pretty much participation based. 1 weekly discussion assignment. The tests are very easy if you keep up with the material. reading helps but not a must, reading is for prelect quiz.

She doesn't seem like she is interested in the topics, and it is shown through her tone during her lectures. After the transition from Rodgriguez to Faiola, the classroom was much more empty, as more of us realized her lectures were not helpful. Just read the book and do the work and you should be fine :D

She was an okay professor, nothing special. Lectures are not required, you do need to read the textbook if you want a decent grade in this course. The three quizzes were fair and not too difficult, you cannot go back to the previous question which frustrates me. The final was difficult, but is doable if you take the time to study.

Class consisted of 6 data analysis exercises (DAE), in-class group worksheets, homework worksheets, and after lecture quizzes. Each assignment had clear expectations and deadlines. Grade tracker was used to track grades and tokens were provided, so you don't necessarily have to do all assignments to do well in the class.

The quizzes for Dr. Faiola were easy then she made the final very difficult, which caught many students off guard. The professors lectures were not very consistent with the schedule, so be prepared to take notes after class on what she didnt cover or she skipped over. Reading the book is necessary for this class, lectures didnt really help me.

Great professor and a fun class! This is definitely one of my favorite classes I have ever taken at UCI. Love how hands on this class is. Not only that, but she gives amazing feedback and is so helpful if you just ask. This class really requires you to think and has a lot of work, but I learned so much more in this class compared to my others!
