Reviews of professor Laura Pangallozzi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Definitely the most disorganized professor I have ever had. She would say the test is a certain format for weeks, and than the day of the test the format is completely different. She is incredibly disrespectful to people who bring to her concerns about her unfairness towards students and brushes it off with a attitude. Avoid taking her if you can!

Do the labs! Have notes for the tests, and you're good. Best Gened I've taken here at Bing. Her dog is adorable. THIS is the definition of a 101 class; you put the basic work in, and you even get a little out of it.

I actually learned from this class, despite not doing too much besides an assignment a week. Go Larua go!

Quite a mess.

Bad class all around. Lazy lectures with little info, expected to essentially teach yourself through textbooks, she makes you buy her lab manual and then you need to transcribe the manual yourself to submit the labs. Maybe she's better in higher level classes, but I found her to be disrespectful to our time and I learned basically nothing.

Super easy class. Only textbook you need is the lab manual. All lectures are posted online and she reads directly from the speaker notes. Don't go to lecture unless you are genuinely interested in geography. Lab class takes attendance with a TA. ALL TESTS, INCLUDING THE FINAL, are ONLINE, OPEN NOTES. Take this class for an easy A for a "G" gen ed.

Attendance is not mandatory, but she changed the tests from open note to closed note so if u don't read the textbook it's difficult. Would not take a class of hers again.

She's not exactly accessible, and it seems like she feels as if she has better things to be doing than lecturing. That said, she's clearly extremely knowledgeable in her field. Her lectures are packed with info but seriously boring. Decent professor, 7/10.

Attendance not taken. Two open notes tests where you can use lecture slides, text book, personal notes. Weekly labs. Research essay at the end of the semester.

She is a trainwreck. She is unorganized, does not answer emails, and if you do go to class you cant even hear her because she mumbles. The class is beyond boring especially at 8 am. The class is easy the labs are just annoying so I would still take the class, but if you can find something just as easy for the same gen ed, take that instead.

Professor Pangallozzi is very passionate about her field. Her lectures can be boring at times but can occasionally be interesting. HUGE test curves so if you show up to labs and tests you cannot fail. Wants her students to succeed. Do the labs (which are easy) and glance over the PowerPoints before tests and you will do fine. Good 'G' credit class.
