Reviews of professor Silvana Mazzella

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Silvana is unreliable when it comes to reaching her outside of class (doesn't answer emails) and she also shows up late and leaves in a rush so there's no time to ask her questions regarding projects. 4 presentations and 1 of them requires visiting a clinic in a bad neighborhood. She also gives a 10 page paper. Avoid this class if you can.

Possibly the easiest 4000 level course at Temple. Prof is caring and will assure that everyone passes, you'll actually learn something. She is a bit disorganized, so assignments sometimes pop up randomly, but they are easy. There are two books, but not necessarily. Only 2-paragraph journals, two papers, and group projects, all of which are easy.

Do not think twice, if it's an elective drop the class. Unnecessary amount of work, completely disorganized. Bases participation on discussion even if you show up to class 95% of the time. 10 page paper for an ELECTIVE is ridiculous and only 15points. This class is painfully boring and she expects you to work in same group all semester; 4 projects.
