Comment:
Dean Panetta is a wonderful professor and incredibly inspirational. Unfortunately, people mistake her knowledge and humor to arrogance. The class is easy: all you need to do is follow the lectures carefully and do all the assignments. She does not give lecture notes but the text book and in-class lectures are more than sufficient.

Panetta is very arrogant to her students. It is next to impossible to get in contact with Panetta as she NEVER replies to your emails and her schedule is always so full that you have to make an appointment to talk to her almost 3 weeks in advance. She also, with absolutely no exceptions, offer no leniency on late assignments or test retakes). 0/10

Comment:
Dean Panetta is a good lecturer, but the course was very poorly run. Part of this has to do with the fact that she was running it in conjunction with another professor, but there were lots of administrative things that she was just not aware of. When we asked her about the homework it was typically the 1st time she had seen it.

Her lectures are fantastic and she's always happy to clarify or help. There are few female engineering professors, and it's nice to have such a great inspiration. She can be a little curt, and she has said a couple problematic things, but for the most part she is awesome!

Comment:
Panetta's class is interesting to me. Besides the content of the class, she as a professor can be very arrogant at times. I know a lot of kids who are rubbed the wrong way by her. She can be at times organized and other times not organized at all.

Good, challenging class. However, you put yourself at a big disadvantage if you don't attend her office hours.

Very clear lectures. Lots of work. Panetta is a great professor but is a bit arrogant and rubs a lot of people the wrong way. But certainly from an academic standpoint, Panetta is one of the best professors at Tufts.

Comment:
Panetta is good teacher. Her lectures are focused and clear. The main problem with this class is that it consumes way too much time. Though there are few labs, the pre-labs and write-ups are both time consuming and tedious... the final project will require you to live in the lab for the last 3 weeks of class! Exams are long- they cover everything.

Karen is the best professor in this department! For any student looking for a perspective on the real world after college, Karen provides it. She cares about her students and is a great contact for job opportunities later on. No one should miss her class...

Comment:
Panetta is a pretty good but challenging professor. She preaches professionalism, but lacks quite a bit herself, often failing to return phone calls or e-mails. Her TA's reflected her poor organization, and while the course content is interesting and farily well-presented, over all she lacks the professionalism she claims to teach, frustrating.

Panetta is a fantastic professor. She conveys the subject material very well, cares about her students understanding, and will help you if you seek her aid. She has also been solely responsible for getting me three internships, that then helped me get into graduate school! Highly recommended!

Panetta is hilarious, but her class is challenging. She is an amazing teacher, who will help you extensively if you are having trouble. Get to know her - she is a great connection to have, and a nice person.

Most helpful Prof i've had. Got me two interviews and an internship! Very helpful and always VERY fair, willing to regrade anything and very generous with extra credit. Anyone who didn't do well, has only themselves to blame!
