Reviews of professor Iole Alessandrini

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
only graded from tests, but she provides study guides for all the tests that correlate directly with the questions on the test. If one puts in a little effort to study, and pays attention in lecture, it's not too bad of a class. Plus the topics covered are usually interesting

Probably my least favorite teacher I've had over my whole four years at this school. I will admit she seems really nice and cheerful at first but if you don't understand something, instead of helping you out she just gets mad at you. For me, her lectures were really dry and she didn't do a great job at getting her students to understand material.

Okay so I know that the tags I put on this seem somewhat negative, but I really enjoy this class. Between the study guides she provides (which correlate HEAVILY with quizzes and tests), and the fact that she lists out every subject, reading, and quiz and when they're happening in the syllabus at the start of the semester, this class is a breeze.

This was an awful class. Lectures added no substance from the mandatory reading. Attendance is harsh, which is fine, unless youre 15 minutes late due to tech issues, explain this to her, and her response is get your materials together. (Wouldve had an A) She also accused nearly everyone of cheating on the last exam it was open study guide.

Professor Alessandrini gets a bad rep from students because unlike other classes in the BFA program, ART115 is lecture based. In reality, she is very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and above all; she is fair. As long as you pay attention in class, read the textbook and do your study guide; ART115 will be a breeze.

Alessandrini is enthusiastic about the subject but fails in terms of confusing grading and tedious teaching style (lectures+quizzes). Study guides are close to the quiz but be careful, she threatened students with expulsion just bc answers on the final quiz featured wording from her ppts (even tho it was not brought up as an issue in prior quizzes)

Professor Iole's Art History class is very informative and is interesting majority of the time. Super strict on paying attention and not having phones/computers out. However, she's really helpful when you need help studying for tests because she sticks really closely to the study guides. If you don't try in this class, the class will be difficult.

I am from a Corona class so her lecture is online. This class is tedious and uninteresting. The lectures are just the readings - no point to the lectures. The course grade is based on 4 exams - get a bad grade on one? too bad, can't retake it. Connection problems causing you to be late? Too bad, absent. 3 absences? lose a letter grade. 4? fail.
