Reviews of professor Valerie Pauli

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The amount of work is not commensurate with a 2 credit class. I probably did just as much work for this class as I did for lab, and definitely way more work for this class than for 260 (which is a 4 credit class). I did learn a fair amount, but I disliked Pauli's teaching style. I feel like I learned more on my own than going to her lectures.

She is very kind, helpful and lively! Lectures were a little slow, but she gives you time to practice for the final assessment for the end of the semester. Assignments and tests weren't too bad, just make sure you practice and study! She was a little bit picky on final assessment, so do everything exactly as she shows you.

Dr. Pauli is an extremely nice lady. She genuinely cares for her students. However, she is misleading in regards to the tests she writes compared to what is talked about and expected in class, so I was taken off guard with her tests. It was her first semester teaching the class, so I give her credit.

I had Pauli for my NURS220 class and received an A in that course, had her again for my 2nd semester of nursing school. She is very helpful at being clear on certain topics, responds to emails efficiently. If you read the material and line it up with her powerpoints then you will be good on her tests. She's understandable

Dr. Pauli needs to realize that her class is the least important during your 2nd sem of nursing school. She makes the exams unnecessarily difficult due to how awful the wording is of her questions. A lot of the time, you'll read a question & know the answer from studying the text, but that answer is not an option. I hope I never have her ever again

Very nice person, but more suited to be teaching first grade. Her lectures are not useful and straight from the book. Her exam reviews are very useful because she goes over what will be on the test.
