Comment:

just no. avoid her if you can. blames students for her having to move the exam back when she hasn't even posted all the lectures for the stuff on the exam. lots of passive aggressive emails. the emails are a bigger source of stress than the actual class work. lectures are informative when she actually gets around to posting them though.

Comment:

Just signed up for her online class this semester and I already don't like her. Made up her own rule that any use of WhatsApp is considered cheating and sent out a passive-aggressive email about it. From all the reviews I've read it seems that she doesn't care if her students learn considering she doesn't keep up on posting lectures.

Comment:

Absolute WORST professor I have ever had. She will never reply to your emails, EVER. She stays silent and never updates us on what chapters will be on an exam until a day before. She says shell upload voice memos on the presentations yet she never does. DO NOT TAKE SUSAN, YOU WILL REGRET IT. She is extremely rude and disrespectful to students.

Comment:

Do not take this professor for anything, even if its online. Doesnt respond to emails and gives attitude and is extremely rude when she does reply. Does not give out information regarding things on the exams until a few days before. Started posting lectures but never continued. She did not help us at all, but did boost our grades at the end.

Th is class was one of a kind. It was online but the teacher was hardly there for her students. You will regret taking the class if you skip this serious rating. I only got an A because I had prior knowledge of American Gov, but she does NOT Answer emails and if She does you see her bad attitude. Her tests/ lectures are posted last minute.

Comment:

Never answers emails like ever. I got more responses from the department head about how she doesnt answer emails than I did from her. Exams open note/book on a lockdown browser so no online books will work. Gives sarcastic answers to serious questions. For example the question - how do we prep for the final the answer try reading the syllabus

Susan Fino was the worst online professor I have ever had, she is rude to her students when we would contact her with questions about exams. Never gave us a lot of time to review material--- she would post chapter info a day before the exam. Mad things very difficult to NOT take any of her courses.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. We had two exams and a final. She posts lectures one week before the exam. Only gives you a 24 hour window to take a 2 hour exam. She told us to buy ebooks for exams cause theyre open notes, but then tells us she doesnt allow tablets/ereader on the exam since its Lockdown Monitor. Very behind and disorganized

Comment:

One of the worst professor's I have ever had. She missed half of classes for the semester. Our grade was based on quizzes half of which weren't posted on the course website until the last two weeks of class. The term paper had no rubric or guidance. Weekly readings weren't posted until the day before class. The professor is incredibly forgetful.

You have to be prepared to read a lot. Her class is full of story telling, however, they exam is 100% on the book, so lectures are completely useless for the tests.

Misses multiple classes, does not let class know until right before class. All of lectures recorded, can watch after. Have to read the book. Doesn't go over much on the tests.

Comment:

I have had bad classes before but this is the first one I genuinely feel scammed after paying for it. Dr. Fino is wildly disorganized and often calls off. She failed to provide any assistance via email (zero responses to inquiries all semester). Only two assignments all semester which were both assigned within the final two weeks of class. Avoid.

Comment:

I wouldn't recommend this Professor to anybody. Although I got an A in the class, you only have 3 exams and a optional final. She doesn't show up on exam days, she lectures very heavy, your whole grade is based off you passing those 3 exams. We had an exam that was 95 questions based off of 3 chapters so you do the math :). Just trust me, don't.

She's one of the brightest people that I have ever met. I have never learned more from one person in my whole life. She is there for her students and is more than willing to help them if they show her that they value their grades. If you want to actually learn, take her. She is amazing and everybody can learn something from her just through a convo

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S ONLINE. I signed up for the class without a professor listed and got stuck with her. Worst professor EVER. There was a midterm and a final - that's it. Doesn't explain, doesn't communicate, you'll probably fail. I dropped the class before the final and retook it with another professor & loved it.
