Reviews of professor Angeline Catena

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The content isnt hard to digest, shes friendly, and has a relatable sense of humor, and she really knows her stuff. I will say, though, that the grading felt a bit knit-picky (to be fair, I only had her for lab, not her corresponding lecture). I also really hate group projects, and there is hardly-anything-but-annoying presentation assignment.

Stellar teacher. Absolutely amazing and very genuine. Lectures are engaging and you will not fall asleep if you are actually passionate about the earth (unfortunately I am not, sorry prof). Lab component is quite easy. If you ever need help just call the teacher in and she will guide you through the entire thing. Prof wants u to succeed!

If you want a respected teacher, a good lecturer, and one who actually wants the best for there students, youre NOT going to get it here. I thought she would be understanding during a very stressful time (COVID-19) but shes been a nightmare for a student. She gives a huge work load and does a terrible job preparing you for exams. STAY AWAY.

Angeline has been such a great professor! She makes you feel very comfortable in class by using every day language and analogies to help you remember material, and shes very easy to get along with! I recommend going over hw/lab answers w her if you can because the answers can be v specific. We had a great semester.

Horrible with the Covid-19 situation at hand it simply seems like she does not care. There is no leniency from her at all, it almost seems as if she tries to make it harder, almost impossible for us. She is not an understanding person, do not take this course period. All you do is busy work that are supposed to be study guides but they dont help

I like Prof. Catena's personality. She is genuinely passionate about the material and reiterates explanations of reoccurring concepts from earlier in the semester. She provides ample extra credit opportunities and is very understanding when it comes to extensions. The workload is very doable.

Professor Catena is a really beautiful professor. Enjoyed every single lecture from her.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is very passionate about the subject.  I want to give an honest review.  She has ALOT of material and expects you to memorize it all.  No notes or open books are allowed during your test.  She also proctors the test.  You will be expected to memorize materials for up to 5 chapters again with NO notes. The studyguides don't cover everything.

I took her lecture and lab together. We always covered different material in lecture than in lab so it was confusing. Her lectures are long and dense and her exams and lab quizzes are very hard. She's pretty lenient in general, but could be more organized. She rarely told us when anything was due after we switched to online.
