Reviews of professor Brooke Ranieri

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This teacher uses some really strange grading scales. She seems clueless about how things work but acts like she knows it all. She makes the class overly political and boring, and she's clearly partial to her students!!!!

The grading structure isn't the clearest and there isn't usually a clear rubric. However, for ENG101, I thought she was a relatively easy grader and provided great feedback. You can tell that she cares and puts a lot of thought into the lectures and activities. I appreciated her asking for feedback on what worked and what didn't. I would recommend

If Brooke would stick to teaching free expression of thought and English, I would rate her 5/5 due to her extremely caring nature. Sadly, she makes classes very politically driven and tells students which news outlets and talk shows to follow. She also talks about political issues often which gets in the way of class.

Brooke Ranieri makes gen ed classes insanely difficult and is very poor at communicating what she wants from the class. Majority of the time whenever she would talk and have us do something, most of the class would sit in silence trying to figure out what she even meant. Overall, terrible at this job and demands too much without being very clear.

Brooke is a fantastic instructor. She takes a subject than many view as just a requirement and turns it into something fun and interesting! She keep students engaged and is always willing to explain things in a way that will ensure you're learning. Very little homework. I'd love to take a class from Brooke again!
