Reviews of professor Federico Bassetti

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Pretty awful. Seems to make up things as he goes along and half of his class was spent on changes in policies and the syllabus. Doesn't teach much of the material directly. Little to no guide on how he wants the assignments completed.

Great professor! Course covers HTML and CSS, and all homework/projects allow students to be as creative as they would like. Since the material is technical and code heavy, you need to read the book and learn outside of class along with attending his lectures. Bassetti cares about his students and the material, and is always available to help.

Basetti was an awful professor. His assignments were worth so little points that you really have to devote time to  studying for quizzes. You can pass if you fail the labs, but do all of the homework, and do well on the final. Would never take again.

Be prepared to learn the material with little help from the professor. If you ask a question he refers you to the textbook or his "course companion" videos, which are just him reading the textbook. If you ask for further clarification, he will just screenshot the book and send that. However, he is responds quickly when questions are asked.

He does not know how to teach at all period. I am not sure how he is still a teacher after all these reviews. The school should definitely look into him. His videos are just him talking reading about SQL. He does not teach at all,avoid this teacher if you can at all costs.

Honestly worst teacher Ive had at this school he isnt fair with grading and very hard to understand. Not approachable at all. If he hates life that much he shouldnt be a professor! Dont expect him to pass you the first time!

Nice guy with a cool background and he knows the content, he's just not good at delivering it. Assignments aren't very clear and need to be turned in on many different platforms for some reason. The class was not consistent with the syllabus either.

This professor is probably one of the worst out here in NIU. Not only are his lectures useless and are then forced to read the textbook to try and teach yourself, but his labs do not give any partial credit. The quizzes online were basically 1 minute per question, so if you don't know the material you're better off guessing.

He is very knowledgeable about SQL but does not know how to deliver the content. His lectures are him reading off of Zybooks. Avoid at all cost.

Prof Bassetti doesnt know how to teach effectively. Classes are boring and hard to learn from. He also clearly shows he does not respect his students.
