Reviews of professor Samantha Tornello

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. T is such an amazing professor, very respectable and laid back, especially as a part of the remote courses. The exams are actually very easy if you study; it's also open-book and makes it easier to complete. You'll learn a lot in this class and have a very different perspective.

I love Dr. Tornello! :) She is caring and passionate about what she does like many of the other reviews have said. If you go to class and participate, you will do well--she gives lots of tips and tricks. Textbooks are "mandatory," but I didn't buy one and didn't have an issue with any of the material. Pay attention for the topcoat questions!

Caring and thoughtful professor. She really knows what she is talking about and is very passionate about what she teaches. She offers lots of extra credit and will help you if you fall behind. GO TO THE LECTURES. your grade will plummet if you don't get attendance and participation credit. do that and study for exams and you should get an A

She is an ok professor but definitely take a different one if you can. She is CONSTANTLY bringing up sexual behavior and orientation which is really weird, especially for an infancy psych class. I get that it's her specialty but she changes the class from infancy psych towards sexual psych and makes you write/take surveys about your own sexuality.

Dr. T was great. She was so good at keeping my attention and making sure we were interested. She also was just a kind person overall. The only thing I struggled with was how little information she would put on a slide and how you had to make sure to get down what she was saying. The test were not hard at all and very straight foward.

Lecture is important because there is not that much information on her slides. Take good notes. The class is about infancy & child development, but I felt there was a strong focus on gender differences with every topic we discussed. That isn't the class I signed up for. Overall, she gives study guides, extra credit & lectures are good.

I loved Sam and their class! It was really interesting. I kind of knew most of the stuff we learned going in, but Sam managed to take it even deeper than my previous understanding.

Dr. T is my favorite professor. The tests are straight forward and easy. She uses TopHat for attendance. Make sure to pay attention to the TopHat quiz questions. There are five take home assignments that are simple. Pay attention to the lectures as she tells you what is important during them.

Professor Tornello is an amazing professor! She loves what she teaches and it shows. I learned so much in her class and its SUPER easy. Shes a very fair grader and you learn a lot without having to study. Never used the textbook or read and I got an A.
