Reviews of professor Rafaela Feresin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The tests are very hard. I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone. She is very sarcastic and she shows no concern for her student's grades. She grades harshly, her study guides are useless, and she uses the lockdown browser. This class is a lot harder than it should be. If you care about your grade you would choose a different professor.

I took this class with microbiology and A&P. I struggled way more in this class, thinking this would be the easiest. Be prepared to work with one group the entire semester, and everything you do is based solely on everyone throughout the entire semester. She grades very hard, rubrics are too unclear for her grading system. None of us enjoyed this!

Unfortunately I cannot recommend her for Micronutrient nutrition. Her tests are insanely hard and you will need to memorize 5-10 pathways in full every time. There was so much that I didn't even know what I didn't know. She ie very strict as well. its just overcomplicated and she has a photographic memory and doesnt understand thats not common.

Dr. Feresin made a research class harder than it needed to be in my opinion. Her lectures are very difficult and long to sit through and follow. You will make an A out of the class however you will put in some work. Make sure you choose a great group to work with. No textbook is needed but do follow her PPTs and attend EVERY lecture.

She was the assistant professor for the research class. She graded hard and seemed to run the class instead of the actual professor. The quizzes did not match up with the lecture/powerpoints. I am glad I passed the first time because I did not want to take research again. It's required for undergrad, but should really be an elective.

This professor has a lot of knowledge and is very passionate about research. However, she is a very tough grader with no specific guidelines in her rubrics. There is a lot of group work and many quizzes with Lockdown. She is very picky and specific, if it is not how she wants it, the grade will not be good.
