Reviews of professor Giorgina Paiella

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I recently had the unfortunate experience of enrolling in a class taught by a self-proclaimed English teacher, and I must say it was a regrettable decision. Despite the impressive price tag attached to the course, the quality of education I received was far from satisfactory.

Giorgina is enthusiastic, informed, and passionate about teaching--I don't think I've ever had a teacher university who cared this much about seeing her students succeed. I think I could have put less effort, but she made me want to commit to the assignments, do all the reading, and be proud of my work. I got so much out of this class! 10/10

Extremely kind and caring, and wishes for all of her students to succeed. I don't like 18th c. literature, but she definitely made an effort to make class fun/interesting through her assignments. I do wish she gave more of an incentive to read, like scheduled quizzes, so that class participation would be higher. All in all, she's an absolute gem!

A professor who's truly passionate about her subject and the success of her students. If you're lucky enough to have her for a class take it seriously! She's a blessing.

Great professor! GP does truly care for her students. She does not give busy work! Straight to the point. Do the reading and take the essay assignments seriously and you should be fine. Best English professor at UCSB in my opinion.

Giorgina is an awesome professor! Shes young, lively, and keeps the class discussion going with ease and entertainment! She gives phenomenal feedback and truly cares about her students! Truly enjoyed how the class was centered around one novel, rather than a handful of books. It allowed for analyzation through different disciplinary fields.

Giorgina was a kind professor and graded fairly. However, she didn't provide great feedback on how to improve and rather just complemented one's work. She also didn't grade finals and instead just put in the letter grade... maybe she expected students to continue their work but I would've appreciated more feedback. Overall easy class.

Initially I didn't want to put effort into the class since it's a GE but she's just //too// good. One of the best professors I've had. She gave us a lot of freedom w/ projects and really sets you up for success. She also gives amazing feedback so take advantage of that! I HIGHLY recommend taking a class with her.

Giorgina cares a lot about her students and gave us freedom on projects to write about what we like. Hope to take another class with her in the future!

She went above and beyond to make the class fun and as enjoyable a GE as possible. I would highly recommend her for any class you see her teaching or TAing. She clearly lays out how shes grading everything and goes out her way to give you the best grade possible.
