Comment:

Her lectures are interesting, and the work is a lot, but you'll learn quite a bit. Pretty opinionated, and it comes through in her teaching. She doesn't take any BS. I'd recommend her.

Hard class. She expects a lot, and even she said that this class is rigorous. Granted, she is a helpful and amazingly intelligent woman. You will learn a ton. I find that all the hard work was worth it in the end.

Comment:

Although she is not an easy teacher, Dr. Pascuzzi has been one of my favorite professors at USD so far. She is very intelligent, funny, and makes her classes interesting. If you actually show an interest in learning, she will bend over backwards to help you in any way she can. She is a wonderful teacher and you will learn A LOT!

Comment:

She is the hardesst teacher ever. Her class is fine and interesting at times, but her tests are near impossible to pass. Its kind of a joke that its a GE class and its hard as hell. I would not take her if you could help it. Oh yeah and you cant miss class.

Comment:

Um, good luck with this one... While it's true that she is really smart and is kind of funny in an off beat sort of way, she is tough. Her tests are nuts, and she grades crazy hard. She expects a lot out of a GE class. She makes a dry subject as interesting as possible, I'll give her that. She will kill you if you forget your bible. Take it P/F.

Comment:

this class is ridiculously hard. you have to come to class all the time and the tests blow your mind. HOWEVER, pascuzzi is a ridiculously smart woman. it is a completely objective class and she opened my eyes to so many new things. if you have an open mind, a willingness to put in some extra time, and can put up with a dry sense of humor, take it.

Comment:

Extremely challenging, she failed half my class on the first test, and we all thought we had A's. She also cussed out my friend, when he didnt do anything. There is a ton of reading,and the tests are extrememly diffucult. She does help you get some points again with the writing assignments. You wil learn morn in this class than every class combi

Comment:

Really interesting material and she is a very intelligent woman, also a very opinionated, liberal one. Similar to Maria Aquino, ALSO a theology teacher. Her tests are difficult, but take good notes and study and you should be okay. Funny and challenging. I learned a lot from her.

Professor Pascuzzi is an awesome teacher. She knows her material, is very willing to help you in office hours, and is energetic. Hard class, but as long as you go and read her notes that she hands out you should do fine.

Comment:

She is really hard, i took her for honors. It was one of the hardest classes i have ever taken. It was harder than my other 5 combined. I ended up getting a B+, but i worked extremely hard for that. Great teaching but i would not do that to myself again.

Comment:

She is mean and seems to hate men. Chances are, if you gave her a good review, you are a woman. I once politely challenged her in class (and it turns out I was right) and she very very condenscending. She loves herself and is a feminist of the bad sort

Awesome teacher. Most interesting class I have taken and the best use of my time so far. Not the easiest class, but there are 1000 points, so you can screw up and still do well. If you want to learn, take her for religion, it is well worth it!

Comment:

Very judgmental for a theology teacher. Makes up her mind before giving you a chance. Assigns homeworks without a lot of guidance so she can tell you the following week how dumb you were. Teaches her views and opinions as if they were the Bible.

Extremely demanding but you will learn a lot. If you are lazy do not bother taking her. Her New York accent makes for humorous learning. She is very nice and will work with you to make sure you understand the material.
