Reviews of professor Vanessa Mari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Mari is very professional, yet caring and easy-going. Each module requires reading a chapter of the textbook and engaging in about 2-3 discussions/assignments. Although workload may seem a little heavy, it isn't all that bad if you read the book . Will record yourself in some discussions. She also records herself in each module. Great teacher!

I took this professor for a 4 week Winter class... A lot of work but her assignments were easy & fun. She's a very intentional & caring professor. I was hesitant to take her because of the comments regarding her grading policy. However, if you complete ALL of your assignments, you have nothing to worry about. Otherwise, you will have an issue.

I feel like this course was more for the professor to network SOE events on campus. I got more information about those events than I did grading criteria or feedback. Her lessons were not hard, but it seemed thrown together and missing some elements that made me feel like she was connected to the content.

she has a great personality and kept us engaged during our 3 hour course in person, but the way she grades is SO frustrating to deal with. she isn't lenient at ALL and everything she assigns you is only worth 5-10 points despite each thing requiring at least an hour or more of work. group project just as unforgiving w/ frustrating instructions..

I took Dr. Mari for EDRL 474 over the summer and I thoroughly enjoyed her class. She made it engaging and interesting and she provides you with ample amount of time to complete the assignments in the modules. She gave great feedback and was very thorough with how she wanted assignments completed. Answered each question of mine and was very kind!

Professor Mari uses a grading system that is not beneficial for students and your grade will seriously suffer if you make any slight mistakes. She is very knowledgable on the content of the course, but her grading completely undermines the amount of work that must be put into the class.
