Reviews of professor Fabiana Cecchini

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Fabiana has been the best professor I've had at A&M so far. There's quite a bit of homework, but it never took more than 30 minutes to complete, and it made studying for tests super easy. She's big on participation/attendance, attendance is 10% of your grade and she takes a 5% flat penalty off your grade after you miss 3 classes.

For half of the semester, many students, including myself, did not understand what she was teaching; the lectures were hard to understand, including her slides. On the quizzes, it was hard to understand what she whats. The questions need to be more specific. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO ANYONE!

I love Fabiana with everything in my heart; she is so sweet and hilarious, but she wants you to know the material and she will make that clear. Attendance is very much mandatory, but I never wanted to skip class because of how much I enjoyed her teaching. Lots of homework, but it doesn't take that long. Just make sure you do it or she'll be upset.

So I actually took her for ITAL 251 and we had about 10 assignments go in the gradebook. Her exams were all open-responses and honestly made no sense to me. She is a really sweet professor but if you miss a class you won't be able to get what was missed. Sometimes it does take a while for her to respond to emails but overal she was a good prof.

If you think this class is an easy A or B, you're wrong. Majority of the class was fighting for a B, I got a 79. She also has her TAs grade everything extremely strictly, even when I answered the question the feedback I got was "you could have gone more depth" and took 10 points off right there. They even said I answered it. I don't recommend this.

She was amazing and was very clear with her lectures

Title is Global Cinema but mainly focuses on middle eastern films about having to leave home and the material suggests a very left wing policy that feels forced on students. I recommend the engl 215 (i believe) film class instead. Her accent is difficult to understand and she is particular to certain students rather than others.

I've had Fabiana since ITAL 101, and will have her again for 202. This is not an easy class, but I can say that I'm actually learning the language. She makes you speak everyday so be prepared for that. Do your hw and study hard because the tests are somewhat difficult. Go to her office hours if you don't understand; she is very helpful and nice.

She is very nice. However, She is very picky about your answer, and she cannot explained the concept right(There is a large difference between what student understand and what she wants). I cannot believe this class has lower average than some engineering class.
