Reviews of professor Daniela Palombo

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She's not the most engaging orator, but if you read the textbook and go to lecture, quizzes are not difficult to do well on. The paper is worth 30% and requires you to critique another paper which is more challenging than your typical paper. Getting marks back is extremely delayed, so at the time of the final I didn't know 70% of my mark. Annoying.

This is the 2nd class I've taken with Palombo. She is so intelligent but I don't think teaching is for her. I feel bad saying this because she is truly kind, but her lecturing is all over the place and makes simple concepts SO complicated. Tests are very short which kind of screws you over if you don't understand a particular concept.

she is very intelligent, and her tests are easy and which mostly is base on the lecture, she expects students to read the textbook, but you can still get a very good grade without reading the textbook

Lectures were so slow and many simple things were overcomplicated and over-explained. It all felt very drawn out and boring. Suggest just reading the textbook, no use going to class. She is a very nice and caring person, also very smart, just not very engaging/enthusiastic in lecture content.

Not only is she a dry lecturer who makes you want to go to sleep and never wake up, she brings in her PhD/grad students to lecture about things and god they're just as bad if not worse than her. I get they're here to practice lecturing but PLS GRAD/PHD STUDENTS STOP COMING INTO CLASS TO TEACH US THINGS! STOP WASTING MY TIME AND TUITION...its so bad

The professor was kind and the lectures were interesting, but the course is extremely content heavy. The quizzes are only 25-30 minutes long, even though they weight 20% each and contain many mcq's, as well as short answer questions. The final is also cumilative.

Initially I liked this course, but the grading and testing really threw me off. The quizzes were nothing like the final and the things she chose to test on were very random. Also her tests were really short which made it that much harder to do well if you didn't study the right things.

She is really pretty, but that is the extend of her positives. She is SO disengaging spends way to much time explaining and then re-explaining basic concepts. Tests are predominently short answer and asks few questions on content deemed important in class. Hinestly just avoid her not worth. 2 big thumbs down

I personally thought she is a real sweet and lovely teacher that really cares about her students in understanding the course. she does explains things slowly but clearly which i really appreciate. you have to know the material + experiment results to do well in this class which isnt much work.
