Reviews of professor Stephanie Capaldi

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
To be honest, I don't like her teaching. She reads from slides and it's exhausting. The content really isn't that bad, she just makes it more difficult than it needs to be. She spends half her time waiting for people to answer her questions and the other half yelling at people for talking.

Dr. Capaldi makes the things you learn in lab very clear. You have to put in the time for studying or you will not receive good grades and she will definitely let you know about it. Listen attentively during lecture and try to understand why you're doing everything in lab because thats basically the exam.

This was the hardest course I have taken at the U of A Capaldi was not good at explaining concepts and we moved so fast friends I has in other sections of the course were like 10 chapters behind us. Her tests don't make sense to the concepts learned in class giving you a false sense of hope that you're prepared. I would not recommend this class.

this class is difficult, but DEFINITELY not impossible !! dr. capaldi is very realistic with what she wants you to know and will explicitly tell you what you need to understand for her exams. in-class activities makes attendance practically mandatory but they r so helpful bc she will ALWAYS answer questions! she records them as well ^^ i love her

Capaldi is rude to students, gives tests that are too tough and do not accurately gauge how much content students actually understand. She loves bio and it shows but she does not understand what it is like to be a student. You are expected to teach yourself the content prior to class

Stephanie is very passionate but makes no sense with her content. I loved biology until I took this course. She begins to lecture even during sylly week... if you wanna cry yourself to sleep every night take this class

If you can take this class with a different professor you should. You get a cheat sheet on exams but it barely helps. You are provided with practice exams but they do not cover all of the material. The lectures do not cover everything that is on the exams. She is not lenient whatsoever. Do not expect her to round you even if it is by 0.1%
