Reviews of professor Christine Pellegrini

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Extremely tough grading and you're being set up for failure in this class. Would have a 4.0 if it weren't for this professor. Exam questions are from random comments made in class, making exams tricky. Power points are useless and even after attending 90% of classes couldn't receive higher than an 85 on exams. Not friendly or understanding at all.

Doctor Pellegrini has the best interest of all of her students in mind. The course content is graded based on 4 exams and one bigger assignment. In addition, she gives extra credit sometimes just for attending class. The powerpoint lectures are very straightforward and she brings in guest speakers to make lectures more interesting.

I found the content in this course to be straightforward and very interesting. Her exams can have tricky wording at times, but if you go to class it isn't hard to get an A. She gives out extra credit all the time for just showing up to class. She clearly cares about her students and class is enjoyable!

The material for this course was pretty straightforward and Pellegrini didn't try to trick you on exams. She brought in many guest speakers to connect the general principles we learned to real-life research projects and examples. She would give random attendance checks and pop quizzes for extra credit.

Professor Pellegrini is an AMAZING professor. She does offer extra credit and usually ends class with a Kahoot. She has quite a few guest lecturers come in throughout the semester. Syllabus is straight forward, and the book is not necessary, as all information is on Blackboard in PowerPoint form, but it is a helpful study tool.

The exams are open notes, but that does not mean they are easy. The class average was usually a high C on every exam. She gives plenty of extra credit throughout the semester, especially extra is given after a bad exam average. She does her best to make the lectures interesting by bringing in guest speakers sometimes.

Professor Pellegrini's tests were worded weird and very tricky. This was supposed to be an easy class in my opinion but ended with a B.

She is very engaging and offers lots of random extra credit in class if you attend. 3 exams which are on blackboard and can be kind of difficult, but if you put in some effort they are easy to get an A. There was a major project which seemed difficult but was honestly super easy. Overall, I enjoyed the class and thought she was a great professor!

The only thing good about this class is that there was extra credit given if you attended class and participated in surveys. Her exams were extremely tricky in the wording but the concepts were super easy. She made her class hard for no reason. Shouldve been an easy A class and ended with a B. Do not recommend
