Comment:

DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HER! She is the worst teacher. Her class was horrible. The big project, which was worth like almost half our grade i think, was completely unclear w/ unrealistic expectations and she wouldn't help us even though no one understood. From the first day of this class everyone hated it.DONT TAKE HER CLASS

Comment:

I Would not recommend taking this class with this teacher. Her lectures are long, boring, and unorganized. She reads straight for a sheet of paper and only started making overheads when students started complaining about her lectures. Make sure you actually read she has pop quizzes and she values attendance. Not a good teacher. Don't choose her!

Really helpful, if you ask. Delivers nice lectures, although not from the textbook. I didn't like having to read all of the text.

Comment:

This Professor is willing to read multiple drafts of papers, and I found this very helpful. She demands nearly perfection in writing skills, which was difficult for me, but since she was willing to help me, I'm confident that I will pass in flying colors.

Dr. Falcone is tough but VERY fair. If you want to do well, you will. If you are lazy, you will probably not like her.

I love this Professor! She demands a lot, but you learn a lot. I want to be prepared for a job, and Dr. Falcone will prepare you! She is soooo nice--go to her office and get her to help you, if you are having a hard time.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! Even if you do all the readings, you will still fail all her pop-quizes. if you ask her your grade, she wont tell you. and she won't explain why she failed you (and the entire class)on a quiz based on your opinion. i've never gotten lower than a B in a GEN ED, and i'll be lucky if i get out of this class with a D.

Comment:

Dr. Falcone was one of the nicest teachers that I have had this year. IF you do the work she is willing to work with YOU. Those of you that are complaining she is the worst teacher obviously do not feel the need to work for your grades. Do not listen to the comments about how her class is a waste of time- I learned alot from her and she was great!

Comment:

She is a great teacher and really cares about each one of her students. Her class is easy if you pay attention. Very repetitive but that makes her tests and quizzes easy to follow. She is very nice and grandmotherly... I would recommend her as a teacher to anyone!

Comment:

worst teacher i have ever had in my 21 years of life. this was a 100 level class and it was impossible even if you did all the readings. everyone failed her quizes and tests b/c she was the most terrible teacher ever. she also makes you watch like 20 boring irrelevant movies that she asks like 1 question about on the test. waste of time

Comment:

Possibly the worst teacher I have EVER HAD. I have never gotten a 'B' in my life and am close to failing this class. She won't answer questions, her tests and quizzes are impossible, and she treats you like you should be still teething. The biggest witch I've ever met in my entire life.

Comment:

worst teacher EVER! You know something is wrong when you have to take attendence in order to get students to come. No help whats so ever; completely incapable of teaching this class. What made it even more difficult is that she probably shouldn't have been teaching FOI if she was teaching a class on literature (which she seems to be obsessed with) then shes probably a good teacher- otherwise beware. You are most likely more intelligent then she is- especially when she rephrases your question into a statemen
