Reviews of professor Timothy Minella

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Minella is the best professor I have had. He shows so much respect to his students. Class was solely discussion based, but it was pretty easy to talk about the course topics. He graded very leniently and was always generous with extending deadlines. I always left class with a smile and in a better mood than before. Truly the best.

Rreally not as bad as everyone says. If you aren't confident in your writing ability, then try to get somebody else. But, if you're a decent writer, you'll survive. Grade averages & distributions are always high, no matter the assignment. If you reach out to him to ask for help or an extension, he is very flexible and helpful.

Contrary to most of the reviews on here, Dr. Minella is one of the most understanding professors on campus. He is very fair with his grading and even offers extra credit. If you put in the effort, you will get an A. Class is discussion-heavy, so he makes it much more enjoyable than a typical lecture. 10/10 recommend taking him

This professor was the most awkward professor I ever had. It just made the entire class feel uncomfortable. Sitting in class, everyone would just wait until we could go because it was that boring. The longest hour and 15 minutes of my life. I learned absolutely nothing. I would take a different section of HON-252 if you can. However, its and easy A

Dr. Minella is quirky in a good way. I think most of the negative reviews are just people who don't want to take the mandatory honors classes and decide to take it out on him.

This is the most boring teacher I have taken at UK. He always starts his sentences without knowing where he is going with them. There are many awkward pauses during class because of this. I dread going to this class every day.

Awesome professor, seems to genuinely care about who we are and where we're going, realizes that his class is not the only one we have. I looked forwards to this class. Genuinely wants the best for us, always there if we need to reach out to him, no complaints at all

He's so funny! He's a little bit of a tough grader but if he knows you're trying he is willing to be easier on you. Participate in class!

Minella was not afraid of awkward silences. Most classes just felt like forced conversations in order to fill the time. Ive never had a teacher so picky about grammar. Overall not too bad, but the class definitely could have been a lot more interesting

Dr. Minella was a super sweet professor who let students take initiative in discussions. He prepared appropriate coursework, but kept the workload light. Taking a field trip to the special collections library and relating Bluey to our topic of the day were some of the highlights!
