Reviews of professor Gina Firenzi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had a great experience taking Professor Firenzi's BusLaw online class. Everything was straight forward, discussions, quizzes, papers, exams & not terribly difficult if you put in some time & effort. Professor Firenzi genuinely cares about students & took an actual interest in my academic route which I found to go above & beyond. She was awesome.

Lots of reading but very interesting. Assignments are due at 10 am every Monday and Wednesday. Some of the discussions were a bit hard to understand, but she will give you nearly full credit as long as you submit something. Just do the work, and you'll get an A, no problem.

I loved my public speaking class. Recognizes there are nerves at play but keeps you encouraged to do it. I would chat with her before speeches and she was really nice.

Class was well structured. About the same amount of work each week. Clear expectations. Interesting class.

Two assignments a week. Same deadlines so easy to follow. You can work ahead. Made the class interesting. I had no problems and got an A.

Arbitrary grades homework however she feels like it. Rubrics are there but don't mean anything to her. Gave me a 0/10 for an assignment I did on time and following the rubric because she didn't like my topic. Also gave me a 5/10 for an assignment choosing topics because two others had the topic, which is information I wasn't privy to.

I think the people here who are complaining are probably very unstructured and not willing to put in some required hard work. Yes, due dates are mornings, but the modules are available for two weeks ahead! Firenzi is very structured and clear, and her class is incredibly interesting and rewarding if you stay engaged and do the work.

Be prepared to work extra hard. She is a tough grader. It is an online class that never meets with only morning due dates

I found this class pretty easy. Structured well. Discussions were interesting. Offered a few extra credit discussions. Grading pretty straightforward.

Just do the work. The class is so well organized. Deadlines are in the morning but you can do them the night before. Two assignments a week. Even amount of work each week. So much better than other online courses.

Not sure if it's just this quarter, the homework load and reading requirements are crazily heavy--imagine yourself reading 7 chapters related to laws a week right after midterms. Every discussion and assignment took much time. You may find it really hard to stay motivated if you've never taken law-related classes or have some laws background.

poor teaching, no curves, weird deadlines, no communications, worst instructor
