Reviews of professor Catherine Famiglietti

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class online during the pandemic & didn't mind her!! Her notes were super clear and although I was familiar with a lot of the content because a lot of it is a review from high school, I think she did a good job of explaining it and showing it in her notes!

You are basically just paying for the credit in this course. The Professor's notes are messy and the "lectures" are short videos explaining only a few of the many concepts introduced in each module. Expect to teach yourself with resources online or through the textbook.

She is the worst prof I have ever had. Spent three weeks on reviewing high school pre-calc material which put us miles behind. Does easy examples in class, puts hard questions on the tests. Labs were useless. A guy blabbed for half an hour and then we only had 50 mins to complete a big assignment. Little to no help in or outside of labs. Good luck.

Professor Famiglietti was great in my first term of university, when my boyfriend at the time passed away she was very kind, because at this time there were midterms. She gave me many options and was able to accommodate well. The course was easy as it was only pre-calculus. She also answered questions well and quickly!

Prof Famiglieti knows her stuff, but sometimes she explains content in a really complicated way. One thing that I did not like about her is that she goes WAY TOO SLOW on basic high-school materials and GOES WAY TOO FAST on the harder concepts. If you want a good grade make sure you go to class and do assignments because her tests are a bit rough

I took this class during the 2020 pandemic, during which she provided little to no actual videos/lectures. The ones provided were of poor quality, and covered very little concepts. Most concepts in the course had no videos, and all we were given were her HANDWRITTEN notes to learn from. You literally had to teach yourself. It was brutal.

Its really hard to comment on teaching skills of a professor WHEN SHE DOES NOT TEACH. She provides no lecture, and ALL the example videos were removed after the first day saying there was a problem. I had to teach myself with just textbook and her hand-written notes. Thank goodness for the easy exams, since theyre worth 85% of the final mark.

I took this class while it was online due to COVID. She makes minimal lecture videos in which she will only go through one or two problems. Some units she didn't even make videos at all. You have to teach yourself calculus from her notes and the textbook which is very difficult considering her notes are hard to follow. Textbook unnecessary.
