Comment:

Gigi is a very kind teacher and I loved her class. I learned a lot without having to do a back-breaking amount of work. Her lectures are fun, she gives great feedback, and she's very helpful and understanding if you experience trouble with an assignment. I'm already signed up for another one of her classes!

Comment:

Never met her in person but Gigi was super sweet via emails and always gave back really positive feedback. If you apply yourself in this class, you will get an A and likely enjoy the readings. I was able to work ahead since it was an online course and managed to finish this class about a month early with a perfect grade.

Comment:

Gigi is an absolute gem. She manages to make humanities interesting, and you learn a lot in her class in a way that is fun. I would definitely say that she is one of the best teachers that I have ever had, I only wish she taught more classes here! Take her! Your only regret will be that she doesn't teach all sections of humanities!

Comment:

she is not a tough teacher, however that doesn't mean you won't learn anything. it is up to the student to determine their own success, i took her class and because i was able to connect to her at a personal level, unlike some rude arrogant scholars, i could excel at her class, above and beyond -especially in hum 214, aka the most boring HUM class

She's a very easy professor. Very entertaining and can relate to students. Be sure to read the actual texts and not Sparknotes because she has combed through that site and puts questions on quizzes that are in the book but not Sparknotes. Excellent professor.

She is a wonderful teacher. It's just hard to get up with her outside of class, but more than likely you won't have too.

Didn't have to think too much in this class...if you want to take the easy way out this is the professor to have for humanities. She understands the students patience.

If you're like me and feel like the Humanities program is cumulatively the biggest waste of 16 hours in your history thus far, than by all means I highly recommend her. She makes this crap just bearable/easy enough.

Easiest class I have ever taken. Also the most boring and tedious. Doesn't make her students work for their grades. Take her if you want an easy A, but be prepared to put up with the dumbest students in the school.
