Comment:

Had her for 239 and 289. Had both classes secured until the finals. For Pharmacology she unloaded a lot of medications on us last minute when she was suppose to be doing that throughout the semester. Gives NO extra credit. NO homework. She will assign ONE PAPER, and pray you do good when its highly unlikely. Do not recommend.

Comment:

try to avoid her like the plague. she doesnt put the powerpoints online, so u have to take the notes yourself. She also talks so its almost impossible to write whats on the board and what shes saying. Her exams are hard and she grades on very few things.

Comment:

6-8pg paper. 5 ati hws. Rest of grade is all exams. No extra credit. Exams were very challenging-not straightforward. Lots of material. Must read textbook. She does not give access to PowerPoints. Posts study guides which are way too cumbersome. Horrible at responding to emails, took 5 days. Very little office hrs

Comment:

very kind and caring professor that really does care about her students. She does not give you copies of her powerpoint which is annoying but not the end of the world since they tend to be around 10 to 15 slides. She really knows what she is talking about and is one of the only professors that actually teaches and doesn't just reread what is up

Comment:

Dr. Fassetta's class is not bad as these reviews. She DOES NOT give notes. However, record her or write down EVERYTHING she says in class. She also tells stories, which can show on exams. Review sheets are also given. If you listen to her and take notes, YOU WILL PASS. Her class is doable.

Comment:

Very hard class. Shes also not the kindest. You have to type/write pages and pages of notes since her notes are not accessible outside of class. My hands were just about ready to fall off. Its hard to pay attention because shes quite monotonous. Try to take a different professor.

Shes not bad, its just literally impossible to stay awake in her class, So recording her lectures and reading over her notes are key in order to pass.

Comment:

Professor Fassetta has all her notes on powerpoints, so it is difficult to understand what she is talking about and copying everything at the same time. Recording her helps though. Her lectures were pretty boring, big research paper that she takes forever to grade (still haven't gotten mine back), tests are decent. I don't recommend taking her tho

Comment:

Extremely tough course. Questions on test are mostly just give a name (only, not what its used for) of the medication and you have to recognize type and effects. More trouble than its worth for a 2-credit class.

Comment:

Professor goes on too many tangents and goes way too slow. Test 1 was very easy on women and male reproduction drugs, Test 2 only on cardiac pretty hard, Test 3/Final was everything else in the course. MADE TO FAIL! So beyond all the other Nur259 classes! Nice lady but needs to stay on topic and go faster on material that shouldn't be dragged upon.

Comment:

She's a nice lady I'm currently taking 3 courses in the summer and I felt like I learned the most from her! Tests are a little tricky by study her notes, and record her and you'll do fine! I really enjoyed her as a professor and I was very hesitant about her because of some of these ratings. She's great just do your work!

Not sure what the others are talking about. Take good notes, & do the study guides. Was expecting to have a miserable time with this professor but I honestly like her & learned a lot. Exams come straight from the notes + extra stuff she mentions in class. Just review your notes often & you should do well. 3 exams, 1 paper, + a final.

Comment:

I honestly disagree with the rest of thestudents. Seems like they were looking for an easy A.I took professor Fassetta & I must say I didnt even open the text book, I just study her notes. Her tests are straight forward if YOU STUDY!!!. take good notes and record her!! start working on your paper ahead of time. For the final focus on new material.

Comment:

Believes she's royalty at Molloy because her aunt taught at Molloy. This woman needs a reality check because nursing is hard and she has unrealistic expectations. Take her at your own risk! Make sure you work hard on the paper because she grades harshly.

DO NOT TAKE HER!!! She can smile in your face, tell you your doing fine and fail you. Her notes are not online, neither are her power points. Knows her material. Has ridiculously high expectations. Tests are tricky

Comment:

Lecture can be boring and I would fall asleep at times. She's an okay person. The paper is a big grade booster so take it very seriously. Do all of her review sheets for her exams and it will help prepare for it. Take good notes as well because she does not give them out at ALL. Prepare yourself ahead of time for all the exams and study hard!!

Comment:

Do not take this teacher, she doesn't give out notes, never finishes the material, puts questions on the exam she never went over, gives a huge paper that takes up the majority of your time all semester, all other patho classes have minor papers , she should talk less about herself and more about course material ! Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid

It's the last day of class and she has not lectures Musculoskeletal, pain or Neuro meds. She tells us "we have the notes" and she will test us on it for final. She is unrealistic and uncompromising.

Comment:

does not give out her notes, so bring laptop. And record (she uses lecture examples from her personal life). Does not curve grades on test, WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE POINT EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT. Gave paper in ONTIME, 6 weeks later... STILL NOT GRADED.
