Comment:

Do not take her! She was extremely rude to my class and would never clearly answer questions. A very long and drawn out class, I always left feeling confused. My classmates and I all had to help each other to complete assignments and she always left us unsure what was expected of us.

Comment:

Do not take her. She is incredibly unclear with class/assignments/test expectations. Every single lecture was terrible and the exact opposite of helpful. She was straight up wrong sometimes. On top of it she was very condescending and made ignorant comments on many occasions. Did not use blackboard, technologically challenged Should not be teaching

Comment:

Prof. Paganette was indeed a sweetheart. I felt that a few students took advantage of the fact that she was timid but overall she made sure everyone was on track. Non-graded quizzes prepared you for tests though at times it got a bit repetitive. She was really nice and I enjoyed her class for the most part.

Comment:

I agree that she will make you do your work over and over, correcting you non-stop. but to me it felt more like she was just pushing her ideas as opposed to "teaching." she is on the older side so her experience with technology today seems limited. she does not even post things on Angel. She seems like she wants to help, but I just dont see how

Comment:

I was not impressed with this class at all. Her method of teaching made everything very tedious and uninteresting. Whenever someone corrected her or had a question she got very flustered and insulted students in front of the class. She is unclear of her expectations of the students and I would avoid at all costs taking any of her classes.

Comment:

She is quite possibly the most unhelpful professor at FIT. She doesn't care about the students learning and responds to questions with the most backhanded answers. She's arguably the worst professor I've had my entire college career. She's unhelpful, condescending and doesn't teach. Do yourself a favor and avoid her class(es) at all costs.

she was very helpful when i asked questions after class or via email. journalism was hard for me as a non-native english speaker, but i could do well because of her help and learned a lot.

Comment:

When it comes to lecturing, I haven't been so Bored in my whole life! Some of the material could be very interesting,unfortunately, she finds a way of making someone completely withdraw from her class.There is a reason as to why we were born with two ears and one mouth. Listen more and talk less.Please let someone talk and hear what we have to say.

Comment:

She is a terrible professor and doesnt listen to you. She always thinks you are wrong with everything and makes you redo things over and over. Its good that the quizes and final projects are basically your grade bc the other drafts for the final project she always marks wrong. It is her way or no way.

Luckily, i had interest in the info. she was distributing..or else i wouldve been bored to death by her tone of voice as she lectured..she was definitely very knowledgeable but also anal about other little things ..however,she is a good professor who could teach well..probably even better if she found a way to make things a bit more interesting

Comment:

She was not a very good teacher at all, kept getting confused in class while she was talking, couldn't really answer anyone's questions, or she didn't understand them at all. I had a hard time staying awake in her class, and she has very annoying mannerisms. I would advise against her BUT she's not the end of the world.

Comment:

She gives the easiest assignments and after you hand them in she always tells you what to edit and allows you to resubmit them. Her tests and final were a breeze. Though she can be boring and the class is sometimes hard to sit through, if you listen and show respect you are guarenteed an A

As long as you talk to her and make nice she will be really nice to you. She just wants you to do your work and thats understandable.

Comment:

Not only is she mean, but she is also inconsiderate & boring. I missed one class due to personal circumstances and she told me if I didn't drop the class (this being after 7 weeks) she was going to fail me for the semester and not do anything about it. She also gave lectures that made no sense & didn't give us a break in class. Not reccomended

Give the poor woman a break! While she isn't the most entertaining professor that I've had,I now have a basic understanding of Journalism. For the person is is in a top Journalism program,you did not always know the structure of a newspaper or what the correct terminology is. But yet again, I guess I was a favorite, I had no problem getting an A.

Ugh. This was a very painful class to get through.She treated us like we were retarded. She could have sumed up the whole class in about 3 weeks!! As an AMC student, why is Journalism required?! It should be an elective.

She is so monotonous and boring! We read from the newspaper and talk about it - I can do that on my own. Also, she grades extremely poorly. She plays favorites too - don't take her. She thinks extremely highly of herself. Blechk.
