Reviews of professor Celia Faiola

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
reads off slides - you're better off just reading the textbook at home since you have to anyways, slides are word for word from textbook ; pearson slides
snarky at the students at times, the other coprof for this class is better
the class itself isn't that bad, very easy to pass if you put in a bit of effort
quizzes = 1 cheat sheet no midterms

I skipped half the lectures when she was lecturing and I still did well in this class. Honestly, just read the slides/textbook and take notes on your own time. Students get one cheat sheet each for quizzes and the final.

You have to buy the textbook/homework code for 60$. This class was relatively easy and pretty interesting. Tests were open note and 20 questions each. A good class if you have to take a biology credit.

Her lectures were quite boring because she would read directly from her slides. It became an hour and 20 minutes of her talking at us. Maybe this style of "teaching" doesn't work well with me, but I also don't think her monotonous voice managed to keep many people focused and engaged with the lecture.

Faiola could be monotone yes. You're gonna see that in literally every review. To be honest her quizzes were harder in my opinion because you don't get any beforehand exposure. They are very APPLICATION based. You can't simply look at the material. DO recommend reading especially if you don't attend class. She will give quiz bumps based on averages

Loved her overall class and yes, she can be monotone sometimes but it's not a big deal. If you read the textbook and do well in homework, you should be okay. Class itself is structured clearly and we get 1 note sheet per exam which really helps. Read the TEXTBOOK !!!

Her lectures are very helpful for exams and the way she teaches makes it easy to understand. She does go at her own pace during lectures, so just be aware. Exams are very straightforward and application based, but if you go to her lectures and do the work, the exam should be easy to tackle.

She's lowkey kinda rude and she has an attitude which is surprising given she's pretty much useless, but to be fair they drop the lowest of three quizzes and they let you bring a cheat sheet. The 1 quiz she gave us was wack but the final was straightforward. Reads off the Pearson slides all lectures and she's really boring. Not a fan personally

I have had worse for sure, but she isn't great. Hard to stay focused in lectures as she just stands behind podium and reads off slides. Her exams have a ton of data analysis in them which can be difficult. Not a professor I would care to take again as I like someone who can seem like the are interested in teaching.
