Reviews of professor Emily Petruccelli

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
While this is her first time teaching Genetics and she seem to try, she has a lot to learn. Especially in her people skills. She doesn't seem approachable, and she's not very welcoming. Her tests aren't too bad, they're pretty straightforward. But I would take someone who's more experienced and knows better on trying to connect with their students.

Hard to not feel excited about a class with a professor who is so passionate about the subject that they are teaching, which made this class really great. Tests were challenging, but didn't feel impossible. Always easy to find in her office or quick to respond to emails whenever I needed help. Will def. try to take courses from her in the future.

If you want a good experience with Genetics then Petruccelli is not your professor. 
her tests are brutal and written like a schizophrenic, and be prepared to have so much writing homework you'll end up doing some on your mid semester break, whenever that is. She is a poor lecturer and be prepared to have crap thrown back in your face as a class.

This course is bad, and I'm not surprised she is not teaching it any more. Bad professor, mean and condescending too

I loved Emily!! She was always fun in lecture and easily accessible outside of class. Took time out of her own schedule to hold test review sessions, and even provided old exams for study help. Would recommend for anyone! She also definitely loves genetics and that is obvious in her lectures. Great professor!

Emily has been the most entertaining professor ive had at SIUE. She is very passionate about teaching and genetics. The tests are reasonable and she provides past years exams to study from. She is very friendly and very accessible.

Emily is great! She is really passionate about her job and loves working with her students. If you need help, just ask! Again, she is great and I would definitely recommend her Genetics class.

Her lectures are entertaining, however, I don't find them very helpful when it comes to actually learning the material. I feel like I have to do a lot of reading outside of class in order to do understand. She uses PollEverywhere in her lectures and you get points for answering them correctly, so I would show up.
