Reviews of professor Catherine Famiglietti

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Famiglietti doesn't do a great job at teaching this course. She provides lots of handwritten notes, has an assignment worth anywhere from 40-65 questions that is much harder than the course content, and uploads a few 5 minute example videos that don't help much at all. There are no live lectures so she never actually TEACHES. Don't recommend.

I took this class during the pandemic and oh boy this class was awful!! She barely provided any lecture videos for the lecture content and even if she did they were super easy to follow but had nothing to do with the assignments themselves. I eventually just had to teach the course by myself because she seemed to not care for her students.

she spends too much time on High school review and moves rly fast with the new stuff. also does super easy examples in class and puts difficult questions on the exam. You're only given 50 minutes to do assignments in labs which is NOT enough time at all

She is a smart math teacher, but has poor social skills. She lectures for the entire period rarely looks up when she asks if there are questions, ignores hands raised and continues on. She is very punctual at responding to emails which is a great help for time sensitive questions. But doesnt believe in exceptions to any rule regardless of the case.

Took this course during distance learning... would not recommend. Dr. Famiglietti seemed nice in the dozen or so 5-10 minute videos that she posted over the entire duration of the course. Her hand written notes were very thorough but were not supplemented with any substantial lectures. 30+ questions/ assignment worth 2% and 15-20 for a 50% final...

She spends too much time on the basic material and rushes though the rest. The lab time is were the midterms take place and there was not enough time for the questions given and how difficult it is. BUT if you have questions about the grading, go and talk to her. She wants you to do well and will change grades if deserved, never hurts to ask.

Professor Famiglietti seems like a great person, but this class was not super awesome. There were no lectures provided - just hand written notes and 5 minute example videos per chapter. If you're taking this class online, be prepared to be your own teacher.

Posted notes online after class. Explained material clearly and was easy to contact if you were unsure of anything. Do well on the homework assignments, and study directly from your notes and you will do fine. Midterm and Final were a lot easier than expected.
