Comment:

She does not care at all for her students and lacks empathy which is really disappointing cause I was excited for this class. I took her class online but she is so rude through e-mails and unclear. The work isnt necessarily hard, but its unclear so youll get marked down for minor things. I personally wasnt a fan of her or her class.

Comment:

This professor is a VERY TOUGH GRADER. She will find a problem with everything you do. Whether it's "not being specific" to " you didn't write enough". I always give my best to every class and for her it was never enough. I would not take this professor again. I don't know how I passed this class with a B+

Comment:

This professor is an extremely tough grader. She is not understanding of people's situations and gives rude feedback. She takes points off for ridiculous reasons on homework and papers. You have to buy MVC and answer the questions extremely thoroughly or else you won't do well. The test are open notes and are easy when you use the book.

Comment:

Gives feedback that comes off a bit too harsh sometimes. Very organized, but there's always something to do. When grading observation paper she took off points for things she did not say we couldn't do. Did not specify some things that were necessary, then took off points when I didn't do them. Does not accept anything late so submit on time.

Comment:

Ignore every good comment about this professor because she is horrible, I was such a good student and had in A in the class but she is so picky with every single thing she grades and can never give you a perfect grade even if you deserve it. She contradicts herself all the time and she is rude with feedback and gives a lot of work. DO NOT TAKE HER!

She is relatively an easy grader and the assignments are fairly easy. the textbook is definitely not used but virtual child is. The quizzes are easy and its not stressful at all. worth taking it if this class is mandatory

Comment:

All of the assignments are laid out for you in modules. She gives 1-3 assignments each week that don't take too long to do. You don't really need the textbook but you need to purchase my virtual child. There is 4 quizzes, one observation paper and a final project. You have to work for your grade but she isn't too tough of a grader.

Comment:

This professor is very rude and does now care about her students. She acts as if she is your only professor and this is your only class. She is an incredibly tough grader and expects you to complete homework assignments before the due date or she deducts points. Just dont waste your time.

I had her for FCST 214 and she was good. As far as papers and assignments go, if you carefully read the instructions, you'll be fine. There were a few quizzes, observation paper and a final project- which ended up being a lot of fun to complete. Take her if you enjoy online classes!

Comment:

Professor Caratello is horrible. She doesn't explain what she expects for the observation papers or final project. It seems as if she just "wings it" when making up the assignments, because nothing is ever clear. Do not take this professor, or expect a very low grade due to the fact that she simply refuses to actually read what you sent her!!

You can tell she loves what she does even though this was an online class. She was specific in what she wanted and graded easily too. As long as you do all of the assignments, you will be fine. I would recommend her.

LOVED THIS PROFESSOR. You must study for her tests but overall she loves her job and really cares for her students. She helped me out a lot and I felt as if she truly wanted her to students to do well unlike most professors here. Would definitely take her class again.

Comment:

You're given three exams and two observation papers and one group project. You must study in order to receive a good grade on the test other wise you'll fail because there's a lot of info. Very picky with her observation papers. I would recommend her if you're the type to work hard and study for a few hours Otherwise you may not do as well.

Comment:

Professor Healy was amazing. Her notes were right on power points that we filled in. She made class interactive at times. There were 3 tests, that you need to study for or you wont do good, but questions are right from notes and study guide. Very clear cut. 2 observation papers as well. One of my favorite classes and would definitely take her again

3 tests. 2 observations which you have to write separate papers on. 1 group project. the class is so straight forward. Professor Healy is a joy to be around. She posts all the PowerPoint presentations & teaches out of them in every class. I didn't think the textbook was necessary, but u should reference it for the papers & to study for tests.

Comment:

Prof. Healy is a very relatable and approachable person. If you have a question, she has no problem helping you find a solution. Her class was pretty easy (3 tests, 2 observations, and a group project where we had to make a game). She points out everything for tests! She's a easy grader too, but sometimes takes off points for pointless things.
