Reviews of professor Lauren Battista

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Attendance is a VERY important part of your grade. You need a doctor's note to be excused so.. don't miss. Ever. I found her lectures to be a bit pointless and off-point most of the time. She grades harder as the semester progresses. She responds to emails a bit bluntly, but if you reach out to her, she will help you.

The best thing about her is she will cancel class a lot. When there is class, they seem to be pointless most of the time. You could never show up and get an A as all of the assignments are online, but she is big on participation so you have to go. She will make you work for an A and always finds something to take points off for. A lot of work!

Great professor. I like how she teaches--it's was never boring. I learned a lot and actually think I'm a better writer after taking her class. I highly recommend her.

I'm an Engineering major so I hate English classes but Professor Battista made it really interesting. She's a good professor and relates real world situations in her lectures (which helped me understand how it related to real life and my field). You have to put in effort but if you care, she cares.

Awesome! She reminded me of an SNL character at first glance, but I then got to know her as this teacher who is down to earth, real, articulate about what she wants the class to get done, and especially understanding of us as students. She cancelled classes whenever we didn't need to meet but still kept us very on track. Very recommended!

This professor doesn't give a perfect score on any assignments. She always finds something to take off points for. I checked the highest grade for every assignment on Canvas and noticed this. It just seems like she doesn't want to give As on anything...

This professor is really tough on grading, and will cut off points no matter what. Your paper just has to be perfect.

I liked this professor! She says it like it is which I like. Ive seen the other comments but I got an A. Yea I had to work for it but writing isn't my fav subject. I asked for her help a lot but she always made time for me--even once on a weekend. Late assignments arent accepted which sucks but I turned everything in on time so it wasn't a big deal

I wouldn't recommend this professor to anyone. It doesn't seem like she will give anyone a 100 on an assignment and will look for something to dock points on. Sometimes there's no explanation either.

Great professor! (WAY better than my Comp 1 professor) You have to put effort into the assigments but if you do, you'll be fine. She's pretty funny and def cares just make sure to come to class and submit things on time. I would take her again!
