Reviews of professor Dianne Farina

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easy class if you pay attention, all the info you need is in the course pack. She is however pretty mean never answers anyones questions and expects you to know everything.

The content for the course is easy if you pay attention in class, exams follow HW and lecture problems exactly with some exceptions. Questions usually have no opportunity for partial credit with some exceptions. Non-exams allow multiple attempts so it is hard to not do well in the class. The class average for exams was usually a 90 or higher.

As long as you do the Homework and attend the lectures you will get an A

She is very rude, the class is easy but how she talks to you is very rude and she makes it seem like stuff happening outside of her class is an inconvenience to her and her life.

Prof Sisofo is great! This class is a super easy A. All assignments follow the exact same format and are predictable. Expectations are clear and the Course Packet is super helpful. Droppest the lowest test (and lowest of classwork & homework) but all are easy if you complete the Homework. No final. Definitely would recommend.

Dr. Farina gives a lot of tests, lecture preps and homework but it ends up helping your grade and understanding a lot. The tests are about 18 questions each and taken on zoom every other week. If you study and complete all assignments you will finish with an A. The course work book is definitely the most helpful!

Very lecture and test heavy. Not many opportunities to boost grade. Does not explain things clearly.

The material for this course is quite easy. You have 8 tests along with homeworks and quizzes. For the tests just review the mastery worksheets you guys go over in class and you should get an easy A.

She isn't very understanding when it comes to personal issues. Blames you for the grade you receive/have. I do not recommend taking her but if you have to, it won't be terrible.

Class is easy, but has the most non-sensible attendance policy I've ever experienced at UD. Had a family emergency and loss in my personal life and would not excuse the absence unless it went through my college's Assistant Dean (she requires an obituary TWO days in advance of the funeral for an ONLINE class). Completely unempathetic and rude.

For a 400 level class, this was so easy. She walks you through all the code for each chapter then you can copy and paste for homework and (take home) quizzes changing the variables. Tests are open notes so you don't even really need to study and everybody gets an A if not aces it.

Lecture is boring but as long as you read and do the work you will pass. You don't have to take the final if you pass with an A. Test are easy and you get a note card. Go to class if you want to pass.
