Reviews of professor Pia Di Girolamo

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class honestly wasn't terrible. I did not have to put that much time into the course and I ended up with a great grade. I will say the lectures were not my favorite because she just read right off the slide.

TERRIBLE! do not take this class! Even the econ tutors struggled trying to understand her and her application of the material. She is so confusing and I even had a tutor tell me this is definitely not an entry level class.

Econ isn't my strongest area and I didn't spend that much on this course and still ended with a high grade because she is a pretty easy grader and offers extra credit. 3 discussion boards (third one is extra credit), weekly assignments, and 3 exams. Easy online course.

Nice lady but her lectures are all over the place. The book that was used does a subpar job explaining things especially when it came to HW. We just had everything thrown at us and were left to try and figure it out. Plus the tutors were clueless which was irritating. Im Warning you know, stay away from his teacher if you can. Not worth it

This course is exam heavy. But there's a lot of room for extra credits.

She aint it cheif. Talks too softly, talks about the same concepts over and over again. Had her at the start of freshman year and did not start me on the right foot. You have to read the book by yourself and use quizlets etc. Honestly, only come to class on exam days otherwise youre wasting valuable time.

I had pia for econ 240 (for healthcare professionals). Honestly, it is just an easy course. When you reach out and ask for help she is very helpful. Study guides given are helpful and exams are open note. Occasional discussion board, again very easy overall. I never watched lecture videos and only studied the night before and got an A on every exam

She is a great teacher! Super helpful and grants extra time in many cases. Class was done online on Pearson and there was a midterm and final exam on Blackboard. They were fairly easy but you definitely need to read the chapters, do the homework, and do extra problems for practice too.

I've taken Econ with Pia online twice now so I haven't had any real interaction with her in person, but if you're considering taking her online, DO IT! She offers so much extra credit through discussion posts and it brought my grade up 2 letter grades in the end. She is really sweet and knowledgeable.

Online homework every week, but it's good for keeping your grade up. No quizzes, just 2 midterms and a final. All exams were multiple choice and open book/notes. You definitely need the textbook to teach yourself/reinforce topics because she covers things fast in a confusing way. Attendance was not mandatory.
