Comment:

Worst teacher ever. Only reads off her slides, which are exact copies out of the book. Does not curve. I am a 3.1 GPA, always made at least a C or a B in all my classes except hers, in which i recieved a D and an F. The class i failed, only 3 out of 8 students passed. I hope to God she is not still teaching there.

Comment:

When I took her class ,I thought she is a very very hard professor. I still think so, but I don't agree she is a bad professor. I learned a lot from her. As long as you respect her, she is also very respectful. Whenever I was in her office, she always helped to me.Also her English is not bad, either.

Comment:

How can you assign a proven 3-4 hour workload in the matter of one 1:15 min class period??? Ask ponci, because it can and will be done. The level of her teaching is based upon the idea that you know and have seen everything she puts up on the board and she whizzes through it, especially when she gets in one of her pissy moods. not really friendly

Dr. Ponci thinks the world owes her because she is a woman engineer. Was rated USC's worst professor in Garnet and Black. STay away, she cannot teach and is not helpful or polite.

Do not take Ponci. She cannot teach, just reads off slides that do not explain anything clearly. If you don't figure it out, she will not help you.

Comment:

This woman is considered one of the worst professors in the college in terms helping you fail out. She does not like to help you, the only way you pass is if you have someone else teach you and you get the hw from a prev year.

Comment:

Ponci has to be the hardest teacher that you will take in Swearingen. While in her class, say your prayers before class, HW, quizzes, and tests. Only God can help you!! Do go to class because quizzes equal a test and she is VERY HOT when she let's her hair down and deva-lop's circuits!!!

Comment:

She assigns massive workloads with unclear directions. I've gone back after class and found her very unhelpful. Her english isn't good either. I recommend switching to another teacher if its at all possible. I would never take another class with her again - its been a really bad experience.

Very tough course.If your one of the lucky ones to get through it the first time through then the rest of the classes you will take will be a breeze.She is hot though, so I don't mind going to class :)

She is definitely a demanding teaching..she assigns a lot of work, but she's a lot better than having a t.a. teach for 6 weeks

Comment:

Ponci has ridiculous quizzes everyone fails, tests that are impossible, and the workload is too time consuming. If you find out she's your teacher, change your major. But for an engineering teacher she is definately one hot chick. I'd date her.~Capt.
