Comment:

This has got to be one of the most mind-numbing classes I have ever taken (but aren't all SF classes this way, anyway?). That said, you can literally just show up for the review sessions that happen before midterms and finals, only review from the notes that you have taken during those, and still get a decent grade.

you don't have to show up to any of the classes and can still pass the course; easiest professor and easiest grader; anything you say or do will fly by her; she's super nice and understanding; didn't get or read any of the books and still got an A in the course

She truly wants you to succeed. I got an A- overall then spoke with her why I though I deserved an A and she considered it and gave me an extra paper to write and rose my grade to an A. I SERIOUSLY LOVE HER and will take her for SF3!!!!

She is, in fact, an easy A-, not an easy A. I worked really hard in this semester then got an A- . Maybe I should have written more in the final paper and exams. Just think how much I have paid for all my textbooks! I really spent a lot of time reading all of them carefully. How sad I am in the end of this semester!

Comment:

She's literally the nicest and sweetest woman in the entire world. She treats you as if you're a precious child sent from the heavens. If you ever need help, she's willing to stay late and help you out. Her lectures are long and there's a lot of tangents. Not specific when it comes to papers and tests so you really need to ask her during office hrs

she is the sweetest woman I have ever met. she truly cares about everyone and loves having interesting discussions. goes off on tangents that are usually fun but sometimes delve into things that are so beyond not relevant that it is confusing. i am taking her again next semester!

Comment:

Her lectures was pretty much 100% discussion about the reading. Most of the class was on their laptops the entire time and she didn't care. The discussion is actually interesting if you choose to pay attention, but can get a little boring. A little advice: on the midterms, she cares about QUANTITY of writing, not just quality. Overall, very easy.

Very sweet old lady. Will postpone tests, essays, readings if you tell her you're not ready. She really wants to help you. She lectures a lot and she'll go off on tangents so prepare to fall asleep in class. you have to be prepared for the essaystests but they're really not difficult to get an A on. Visit her in office hours- she loves it.

She is literally the sweetest person in the world. She is also extremely smart. The amount of readings is ridiculous but if you focus on the important books and write good essays on them you'll be fine.

Professor Antonini is the sweetest, nicest lady I've ever met. She doesn't demand too much work and is super understanding and helpful. It's LS so it's going to be a little boring and she even admits that but considering that she still tries to make it fun. Cannot stress enough that she is the nicest person you'll ever meet.

Nicest person ever. Her classes can get a bit boring, but it's still pretty easy to get an A even without attending class or reading the books.

She is so confusing and expects you to read multiple texts per night but then changes it the next day. She suggests that you do EXTRA work and then gives you nothing for it. Worst prof I've had at NYU... she's really nice but I learned NOTHING

Honestly, do not take this class. She is confusing and doesn't make any of the text clear. She expects you to read 17 books in one semester. Choose someone else.

Comment:

Very sweet lady, very bad professor. She literally never gave a single essay or grade back and then surprised me with an unexpected grade when the semester was over. If she had given some feedback at all I wouldn't complain. No one did anything in the class, mostly just sat on facebook because we assumed she was easy. DON'T ASSUME.
