Reviews of professor Fabiana Cecchini

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is very caring when you go to her, however the lectures are hard to understand and she doesn't answer questions in an easy to understand way. You have to work hard for a passing grade and she is a tough grader. I would not take this class again but she is very kind when you attempt to understand.

EXTREMELY tough grader. Quizzes were impossible to get full points on. The concepts are obscure it is hard to even study. The film choices were just not interesting. Attendance is mandatory, you can only miss 3 classes the entire semester. I would not take this class again. Not an easy creative arts credit at all. Fabiana is understanding however.

Global Cinema was supposed to be my blow-off class, but instead, I had to work hard to figure out how to make an A on my papers. There are only 8 assignments for the semester, so you have to do good on them. She will only give you an A if you write exactly what she wants. She doesn't show the rubric. If you meet with her, she will work with you.

Do not take this class for a creative arts credit. It is not an easy A. She is a very tough grader, and she will count off points for the smallest things. On projects, her rubrics are very non-descriptive, yet she is still very picky. She is not very good at explaining topics during lectures. Most of her information is very vague.

Fabiana is a great professor. She's a little tough so you have to put in the work. She can seem intimidating but she is very patient and well help you get through it. She has a good sense of humor and takes obstacles (zoom) in stride. Her class is very dependent on the textbook and the website, cheapest place is the MSC. Make sure you participate!!

The only big complaint I had was that her Canvas page wasn't super organized. Her quizzes though are super hard, in the sense that she is a tough grader. Her lectures were great though! She is Italian, so she can be hard to understand at times, but overall I really enjoyed the class. The final is also optional for this course too.
