Reviews of professor Francesca Gentile

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Gives detailed feedback and allows for revisions until the last day of the semester. Project and paper-based, no tests or quizzes. Uses "ungrading" method where you grade yourself and she takes that into consideration. The only downside of this is not knowing actual grade until after the semester ends, which I didn't like, but still recommend her.

Dr. Gentile is a great professor and always provides detailed feedback on assignments. Sometimes the lectures can be a little boring, however the content is rather easy to understand. She uses an unusual grading method where you won't know your actual number grade for a while. She uses your input to grade your assignments. I would recommend.

Although I took this class online over a 5 week period, Dr. Gentile was very understanding of summer schedules and due dates. The course itself was a little content heavy and based mostly on written assignments, but she offers good feedback and a lot of opportunities to ask for help.

Dr. Gentile is incredible! She really made me think about the world around me and my view of it in this class. There are a lot of readings and class discussions, but they're all super interesting. 2 analysis papers that were a lot of fun to write, and a final project that can be anything you want it to be. I would definitely take this class again!

She emails back very quick. Will always be willing to help you with any work. You can do revision till the end of the semester. Her grading system is based on mainly effort. TBH if you fail it is honestly your fault cuz she is always willing to help you and get you a better grade. She is chill

She was an amazing professor. She gives great feedback and is very understanding. Your course load is very heavy at the beginning and lightens up a little towards the end of the semester.

She assigned a lot of reading for this class but when I wouldnt read one of the thee assigned passages and just do discussions or responses based on the others, I did great on those assignments Also all of the passages are genuinely so interesting Short recorded lectures Really forgiving on grading
