She is really nice and approachable. The only thing really bothering me about dr. fiorenza is that she puts pressure on her students to finish all of their assignments by a certain date but my summer class with her has ended over a month ago and i am still waiting on assignments to be graded, and my final course grade.....

Comment:

Prof. Fiorenza doesn't do much teaching. However, I still enjoyed her class. She is funny and has a lot of experience. She provides a lot of resources but its up to you to learn the material. Her notes and test reviews will get you an A if you read the book. Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for an easy A. Cunningham is a better option!

Worst educator I have ever had. She only "taught" the day before the test but it was a bad attempt. She is so disorganized it is not even funny. If you want the book as your teacher then take her.

Comment:

Professor Fiorenza is one of the sweetest and caring professors I have come across at West Chester. She genuinely cares about you and your work. She is very helpful and willing to work with you when it comes to grades. There was 3 or 4 tests in that class including the final exam. You definitely need to read the book to do well on the exam.

Comment:

Professor Fiorenza is such a sweet lady and she really cares about each of her students. Most every class she just teaches right from the powerpoint but you definitely need the book because that is what the tests are from. The tests are a little difficult but I was able to keep my grade up because she grades the projects a little easier. Take her!

I loved her as a professor She was hilarious and made class enjoyable. She mainly teaches by power points but make sure to read the book because thats mainly what the tests are from! She really cares about her students and is more than willing to help you out! There are 2 observations and group assignment, but she's an easy grader. Would recommend!

Professor Fiorenza is a great professor. She makes sure you actually learn. If you're looking just to pass then take another professor. Firoenza makes you work for it but it is so worth it. She is really understanding and will work with you to help you succeed. She gives hints on all her tests too! Take her!!

Be prepared to read the book almost religiously, she uses a powerpoint in class for notes but some of the questions are directly from the book. She doesn't have many grades besides 2 papers and tests, so take advantage of the practice questions she puts online for exams.

Comment:

Professor Fiorenza loves to go off topic but she is very educated in her field. She loves to talk about herself and sometimes is not very clear in her lectures. Generally if you study the material she gives on the study sheets on D2L, you will pass her class. She is a wonderful woman and definitely worth taking!

Professor Fiorenza is the sweetest woman. She tells a lot of personal stories that go along with the chapters which really help you connect with what you're learning. She's super down to earth and overall a great teacher. Pay attention in class and re-read the notes she puts on D2L and you will do well. Highly recommend her!

professor fiorenza is a good teacher, but often times comes off as unorganized. she does give grades back pretty quickly except for the long papers. she is very knowledgeable about education, which makes her students knowledgeable about it.

Comment:

I really like Fiorenza. I bombed one test, because I did not study, but ended up with a 89 in the class (so close to an A :(), she is very friendly, approachable and insightful. Bring your laptop to class, I usually did work for other classes on my laptop, because most classes are powerpoints and you just take notes on your already filled out ppts

She is nice and helpful, and will not hesitate to see you during her office hours. She does get off track during class, but she does tell you useful things to keep in mind as a future teacher. The class may take some getting used to, but I liked her in the end. You should have the book because she expects you to cite a lot.

Comment:

Very good teacher! I learned a lot. I would recommend getting the study guide that goes along with the book for help preparing for tests. There are two big projects and the tests are difficult. She allows essays for tests to be done ahead on time online. She only allows you to miss two classes with out penalty. Great, informative class!!
