Reviews of professor Timothy Minella

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is primarily discussion based. If you think that it's the professor's job to facilitate discussion and baby college students, then don't take Minella. If you're willing to open your mind, read the assigned articles, and participate, his class will be fine and you might even enjoy it. He grades tough but it is an honors class. No surprise

I fell asleep every single class: its that boring. Still got a B without showing up to half the classes.

Minella is a tough grader and can be a bit awkward, but he does seem to genuinely care about his students and is willing to help if you go to office hours.

Dr. Minella was a great professor! His 140 class was primarily discussion based, so be sure to participate when you can. He was flexible and lenient with grading.

tough grader and doesn't lay out his expectations for assignments clearly. HON 101 is supposed to be an easier introduction into the Honors college but he makes everything way more difficult than it should be.

Hear me out. Minella starts off quite awkward at first, but once your class gets more comfortable together, it becomes VERY enjoyable! He was always willing to laugh at my jokes and gave me an A on an assignment I did about how much I hated the Whitehall stairs. Doesn't care too much about due dates or word counts and graded very easy in my opinion

Dont take Minella. Not a bad guy, but definitely not who you want for a discussion-based class. His expectations are unclear and he has specific preferences, but no rubrics. His voice is awful- super gravelly and annoying. He starts sentences without having a point and comes off extremely awkward. Nice, but among the worst choices for HON101.
