Reviews of professor Samantha Pinto

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Super chill, asynch class. It is tedious to do the work, but there is a lecture, reflection activities, and 1 discussion board, so it is not super heavy. However, not much specifics on rubrics for discussions so email the TAs about grades if you are not getting good grades. Online lecture are SO SLOW, so so slow in talking.

Weekly modules were posted with all of the assignments. Takes 3-4 hours to complete each module. Make sure to do the readings because there are short quizzes but they are very simple questions. Discussion sections are mandatory every week so be sure to show up and participate. The final paper can be written on whatever you want and is not hard.

This class was super manageable. Weekly readings and reading quizzes, and online lectures. Weekly discussions in person. Overall super easy class and made me not hate english.

Pinto has got to be one of the best teachers I've ever had. There were readings, projects, and discussions, but they were all super interesting and you have a lot of freedom in what you can submit for assignments. It accommodates a lot of learning styles. Her lectures are also super engaging. Would take again if I could!

Dr. Pinto is a fantastic professor. She is caring and works with her students to ensure everyone succeeds. The lectures are interesting, and the assignments/quizzes aren't made to be complicated. You can tell she is interested in what she is talking about, and this course covers more than just readings.

As long as you do readings and do well on the assignments her class is super easy!

Class is an easy A. There's a lot of readings, but I never read them and still managed to pass the class. Her online lectures are not mandatory, but attendance in your TA discussion will be. Your grade is entirely dependent on a good TA. HW is really easy and she sometimes give you breaks in between weeks!
