Reviews of professor Rosanna Lauriola

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had a wonderful time with Dr. Lauriola. I thought her lectures were exceptionally thorough and held my attentionthat rarely happens for me. She is very caring, always asked students how they were feeling, was super considerate, and gave trigger warnings. My main critique is that the final project was not organized very well.

This professor was not a good professor at all. She would repeatedly tell me to give my opinion on things in papers and then tell me that my opinion was wrong and gave me a bad grade. She would take points off my papers for "grammar mistakes" but the "mistakes" she thought I had were actually not mistakes she just thought thats how it should be

Dr. Lauriola is a very, very knowledgeable, informative professor. Her courses are difficult but well worth the work, and while her lectures can seem overwhelming, she provides plenty of assistance to decipher the most important information. She has few graded assignments but provides ample and thorough feedback for future work.

She has a thick Italian accent which takes a bit of time to get used to, but is a very strong professor. Some of the assigned readings where her own published works - she takes herself seriously, and she deserves to! A lot of respect for her. She will not publish her lecture slides, so taking notes in class is super important.

Class is all heavy/repetitive lecture which is hard to pay attention to especially with her thick accent. Extremly long tests with way too much material to study, and she is a HARD grader (will not give a perfect score since nothing can be perfect) and expects you to know everything. Her expectations are completly unreasonable.

Doesn't have a lot of engagement so the class is easy to sit through, but the assignments she does give are consistent and require a lot of effort. She doesn't grade realistically and you probably won't get the grade you deserve. Really boring and dense on information, but good if you don't feel like paying attention during class / wanna justchill.
