Reviews of professor Susan Piacenza

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
In a sentence, Piacenza holds her students to standards she herself doesn't uphold. The amount of info you have to know from her lectures for each test is mindblowing, especially when she gets mixed up so often it's like she doesn't know the material well at all. Her test info ranges from practical to useless minutia. Not enough characters to go on

I have had Piacenza as a professor for a whopping 4 classes and already know she is the worst professor/teacher I have ever had. Goes entirely too fast, and can't even answer questions about what she's lecturing about. Don't teach a class if you don't know what the hell you're talking about. You're better off teaching yourself, so get the textbook.

Teacher is extremely disorganized, It isn't that the material is difficult, but coming from her it is extremely confusing. She is a ridiculously tough grader even after knowing how confusing her lectures are. She does take feedback or criticism well even after asking for our opinions. She does not communicate with her student well or at all.

Face-to-face class was bad enough. Now we're online and it would help if Susan knew how to work a computer. Our grades are so messed up we have attendance grades as exam grades. I've emailed her many times about questions but she never answers anything. I found out pretty early on that you can do the LCs from home and she just reads off the ppts.

If you need someone to read you the powerpoints word for word (or at least try to "blood stuff"-Susan), take Piacenza. If you know how to read and would like to learn, take someone else.

I've only had Piacenza for Bio II and it's the fifth week into the semester. The only way anyone is learning anything in her class is through the textbook and taking notes on their own time. She spends an average of 0.5 seconds on each slide and every class you'll go through an entire chapter. Her knowledge on the material is surface level.

Worst professor ever. Do not take classes with her!
