Reviews of professor Cassandra Ghinos

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
As a senior, I've shown up to almost every class because I truly enjoy the class and the content. Prof Ghinos has been a great resource for me and has helped me not only with class material but with life skills that I will use in the workforce. Very nice and easy class, I'd suggest her 100%.

Very easy class. Tophats are random in class so you should go if you want those points. Tests are straightforward and easy to do if you pay the minimum attention.

Expensive book code $130. 3 major exams, connect assignments. I learned A LOT but had to read the book to supplement my learning. She tells good stories but she isn't caring or nice like some say. I didn't really care for her personality; however, the content is good and the class isn't too hard. Go to class, take notes, and study for the exams.

Professor Ghinos was seriously amazing. She is so passionate about what she is teaching and it's actually interesting. Some students didn't like that she wanted participation but that's called college, and I enjoyed it. She is a very relaxed prof but still expects you to do the work which is not hard. Take the class for sure esp w Prof Ghinos.

Professor Ghinos has been my favorite professor here at Penn State. She is truly passionate about teaching and she genuinely cares about her students. I found myself going to her office office hours every week because I loved learning from her and we always had a great conversation. Take her class!

Definitely recommend taking IB303 with Professor Ghinos. She has a lot of experience in the field and her class material is interactive and fun compared to a lot of other classes. As long as you go to class and DO NOT CHEAT you will get an A. She emphasizes that she does not tolerate cheaters and she means it

Prof Ghinos is very nice and conversational. Her exams are really easy (easiest I have had in Smeal) and homeworks take like 20/30 min at the max. Just do not ever try to click on on TopHat when you are not in the class, she caught numerous people.

Great professor, you will succeed if you actually show up to every class and study.

If you have any chance, don't take this course. Exams are closed book, closed notes,s and in person. There are overly too many details to memorize for each exam, and she asks a lot of meaningless questions related to tests if you do go to class. A lot of homework and a lot to do. 

Don't take.

Not friendly enough for international students, even though she acted nicely. And there are big reactions to small things. You have to go to her class, although she will only read the contents of the ppt in class and will not appear in the exam. You need to buy the $130 textbooks to get the credit because she needs the money.
