decent professor...
prof pinnola is incredible. shes extremely dedicated to her work and shes amazingly friendly and sweet. shes extremely helpful, understanding, and soft spoken, probably one of the nicest professors at st johns by far. her work is simple and straight forward and her exams are directly from a review sheet provided prior to the test. amazing teacher!
Professor Pinnola is a very kind person and a great professor. As long as you do your work you should be fine in this class. It was not very challenging, just make sure you read over the handouts. All the tests contained information from the handouts. Great Professor, Take Her!!!
Before taking this course, I thought Theology would be another hassle for me, especially since it was my first class in the morning (8 AM!). After taking Prof. Pinnola's course, I can't express how much I appreciate it. Class work is very easy, as long as you do your readings. I extremely recommend her class. She's very sweet. TAKE HER.I got an A:)
i took prof pinnola last semester and was amazed at her teaching style. most professors make u read a text book til ur eyes bleed, but she explains everything in class,incorporates a lil group work,or a film,or even some calming music.she is a sweet woman with a big heart and is truly sincere in what she does.Just wants you to learn, very fair lady
Professor Pinnola is the sweetest lady...she makes sure that all students understand the material before the test by giving thorough reviews! she is overall a great professor and is truly passionate about the subject! =)
The most considerate professor by far! She is helpful, understanding and has great interest in theology. Her quizzes are easy, and her notes are clear. She takes time in making presentations on the notes for every lesson. Take her- as long as you do what is expected, you will get an easy A.
One of the best professors at St. John's. If you do not take her, you are missing out! She is very approachable, considerate, and easy to talk to. If you put in the work, you will do well!
Professor Pinnola is probably the sweetest and most caring professor I've ever had. She does as much as she can possibly do to help her students understand the material and do well in her course. If I hadn't graduated already, I would've definitely taken her again! Take her!!! You won't regret it!
Aww, Professor Pinnola is soo sweet.. if you have any questions, you never feel imtidated or stupid to ask her a question.. she's definately worth taking and she'll help you anytime.. and theology isn't as bad as i thought after having a professor like her! Review your notes and you'll do well on your tests/quizzes!! ;)
Prof. Pinnola is a great teacher, her love for the matterial carries through to her teaching. Def. take her class if you want a great teacher who is always fair and loves her students and if VERY fair with tests and grades. she wants to help you learn and do well rather than some other teachers who enjoy failing people.
Great professor!!!
Prof Pinnola is a wonderful woman and a great professor. She puts so much time and effort into her teaching and she truly cares about her students. She is very knowledgable on Christian marriage and makes her class interesting and educational. I would recommend her to any student. Extremely fair and approachable.
I took 1000c with prof. Pinnola and i enjoyed it. it is easy to get an A if you do your work. she gives a lot of stuff to do for a grade so even if you don t do well on a test you can get an A ... the tests are really easy. there are two essays for the class and a final cummualative but fairly easy
Prof. Pinnola is a very nice person and a lovely professor. she makes the class inetrsting with group work, movies, and visual examples... she cares about the students and how they are doing, both academically and personally--if you ask for help she will definetly help you... make her classes fit your schedule
Great Professor. one of the best classes. she is very nice and caring. no test really, jus quizzes. she lets u kno wen they're comin n gives u notes 2 study. papers r also easy. group work is easy. everything is easy. she stays on top of ur work n emails u if there is a problem. she knows wat she's talkin about. 1 of my favorite teachers!!!
One of the nicest teachers at St. John's. She is soo genuine and has a passion for her work. I took her for Christian Marriage and you learn a lot of different aspects on marriage through the eyes of the church and what not. She gives quizzes, takes attendance, but you will def get an A if you pay attention. She's very caring and sweet
She seems interested in the subject, but she is not assertive enough to tell people to stop goofing off in class and pay attention. Discussions in class are in group and are way too easy make people pay attention (ie Find Bethlehem on this map)
I LOVE her!!! she is so sweet Im really not interested in Theology but I cant wait to take her again! She is the best prof I ever had I almost want to minor in Theology, only if I could have her for all my Theo classes!!!
Best Professor Ever. So Easy and wonderful. Shes very sweet
The BEST Porf. ever. TAKE HER. She's awesome. Theres alot of work to do, but its very easy. She really cares about her students. I wish I can take her for every class. AND shes very sweet.
very caring professor. gives reviews for quizzes and tests. hw is just answer one question. no laptops in class is only downside.
Total airhead, which is why the class is easy. There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't get an A. Anything below is embarrassing. Just hand in all papers and homework on time. Though you won't retain anything useful, the class is an easy A.
EASY A! If you fail her class then you should just drop out of college and save your money. Mostly online tests and quizzes. A few papers. No laptops in class though. She can go on a bit and get a little boring but overall a very sweet and caring teacher.
EASY A. if you do all the work assigned you shouldnt get anything lower. she gives 2 papers, 3 or 4 tests which are usually done at home online, 4 150 word reflection comments posted on blackboard. its a joke. you dont even have to listen to anything she says she gives a review sheet before the exam and that the only thing on the test tke her!
Easy A. If you can't get an A in her class you will prob not get one in STJ. Gives review sheet b4 exams and questions in the xams are even in the same order. I only studied 2 hours for this final. Very nice person. have to do a group presentation which is very east. In class activities and 2 papers all very easy. RECOMMEND her to everyone.
I love this woman!! She's SOO sweet and deserves respect. Her crazy is extremely easy but it's only because she's such a sweetheart. You don't have to do any work at all, just memorize the review sheet before the test. TAKE HER CLASS! (and be nice to her)
This woman is REALLY easy however she reads her lectures... so be prepared to be bored. after every class there are writing assignments. Very easy class though; can be boring at times.
Very good professor, one of the best at St. Johns! She gives review sheets before each quiz and the final. However, she reads straight from the notes which can get really boring. Nevertheless, there are many group presentations and all you have to do is show up and study the review sheets to get an A. 3-4 quizzes, 2 essays and the final.
Perspectives on Christianity not the most interesting subject made worse by the fact that she reads DIRECTLY out of the textbook. No need to do prior reading. Often fell asleep in class and missed nothing. One group project. Small presentations throughout. On tests she would give us all the answers ahead of time. I'll take her again for the A
such an easy a. you don't even need the textbook she uses it once in awhile but it's group work so if one person around you buys it you should be fine, there is one group project which is fun to do and the class is super easy...yea its boring but just sit there and do other work haha def. take herrrrrr
This teacher has to be the easiest teacher i have ever had. She tells you to read for homework, but you don't have to because she goes over it in class anyways. Only downfall is that the class is very boring. She gives you word for word review sheets for all tests and quizzes. If you study the review sheet you will be fine on all quizzes and test
She is the most easiest professor you can ever take in your life. Seriously. She is such a sweet lady. The class itself isnt that interesting because she reads of the textbook for the entire class, but she trys to make it fun with little cute easy assignments. DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK, waste of money. You can definately get an A without sweat.
I love Prof. Pinnola!!! She is so sweet, thoughtful, and always trying her best to help everyone! Her quizzes and tests could be hard if you do not study the review sheet. There is always something to do in class that requires attandence, students' presentations, reflections, and journals. The reflection and jounals topics are fun!!I love her!!!
This class is not critical. We passed and got very good grade. However, if you dont do the homework and study the review materials it could be hard. The thing I should mention is she always give you chance to fix ur grade. A very kind and helpful professor, must take her!!!
best most awesome teacher ever , she is so understanding and sweet no way you can want to do wrong by her :)
Professor Pinnola was a very nice professor in the time that I had her. She was helpful, and lenient with work that was late. She also seemed like she was very nervous when teaching the class. Very strange for a college professor. The class was also very boring. Hard to stay up during class. But if you do your work, you can easily get an A.
This class was an easy A. All of the assignments were very easy, all you have to do is DO THEM. Class itself was boring as hell, I usually surfed the internet the entire time counting the minutes before it ended. She just reads straight from the textbook. She gives the quiz/test material word for word with the right answers. Take her if you can.
Her class is ridiculously easy but SO boring.
If you ever have a chance to take her, do it! She is such a sweet woman and the class is so easy. Just show up, put on some netflix, and wear headphones. She doesnt care. Dont get the book I didnt read all semester. The quizzes are so easy and she reviews all of the material. I still remember everything too. TAKE HER
Best professor so far! super easy. if you need to bring up you GPA TAKE HER! You will not regret it. No homework couple of quizzes but her review sheets are the quizzes. Love her so much. Don't take advantage of her because she doesn't deserve it.
You literally have to do nothing in the class and you'll get an A. The review sheets she gives for tests and quizzes is the actual test or quiz. Plus she's really nice.
2 Tests, 10 quizzes, 1 paper, 1 group presentation, No HW. A little too easy. Gives you review sheets before all quizzes and tests. She should mix up the lectures a little more, just stands in front of the room and reads off a paper thew whole class period.
She's so kind and she's such a sweetheart. She's an angel sent from heaven. There's no other class better and easier.
Easiest class ever!! Professor Pinnola is so sweet and understanding. Her class is at 7:30 but it's so worth it! She gives a study guide before every test and quiz and it is the EXACT information that you will be tested on! Take this class! She does take attendance but it's ok to miss some classes.
She's one of the sweetest women you will ever meet and is really enthusiastic about theology. Her lectures are long but she often plays clips in the middle so its not too bad. Her quizzes, tests, and projects are easy if you study and pay attention to guidelines. If you go to class you're going to do well, if not then its on you.
Very easy class. The quizzes, midterm and final are easy. It is same as the review sheet. You can do whatever you want in this class. She doesnt care if you use your phone or listen to music.
Easy class. Don't bother buying the textbook or Bible. Her lectures are her reading off a paper or the slideshow, I sit on my phone the entire class and have an A. She doesn't like laptops open though. There's 4 quizzes, she gives you the questions on a study guide like a week before the class and she drops the lowest grade. EASY A.
I don't think I've taken a class quite this easy since middle school. She basically just reads any assigned readings from the class prior and will occasionally have students do individual or group responses to the lesson(takes 5 minutes tops). Any quiz or test will be multiple choice and she gives you the answers the class before. Show up and pass.
Professor Pinnola is super easy. Class is kind of boring, but what Theology class isn't? Easy A. Review sheets are word-for-word your quizzes and exams. Do not need the textbook and you never have to read.
Easy professor, the quiz reviews are word for word the actual quiz so those are Easy A's and the group project is pretty easy also. Easy A and she's super nice and understanding with stuff
This class was soooo easy. She has given a few quizzes, but will give you a study sheet beforehand with all the questions and answers on it. Gives lectures, but puts them online. Easy group projects.
This class was hands down the easiest class I had taken since middle school possibly. She is the sweetest lady however she is extremely boring. Every review sheet before every test and quiz had the question and answer that would be on the test. But show up because the class participation grade is based solely on in class participation.
Barbara Pinnola is a sweetheart. Her class is extremely easy. She gives out a review sheet with the exact questions for all quizzes, the midterm and final. There is one group project, one essay, and small class participation assignments. You can miss up to four classes without your grade going down. It's a very boring class, but an easy A.
Professor Pinnola is such a nice lady, and her class is super easy. She gives you a review sheet before each quiz, midterm or final which is identical to the MC test itself. Also theres one group project and small class participation activities which you need to be in class for. Super easy A, take her!!!
She is a nice lady but her lecture is a litter boring. If you want to learn something you should not take her, but if you just want to get an easy A pls take her!!!
So boring! Literally reads from the text book. Good luck if you aren't catholic! She won't explain anything. Another sju professor who assumes your religion.
EASIEST professor ever! Must take her! Easiest A ever. Blessed to take her. Don't get the books. She tells you to read for homework, but nobody ever does. Just used it for class participation days, but even then you don't need it, just borrow it from someone in class. Easiest quizzes, midterm, and final. Gives answers, just memorize.
Professor Barbara is one of the best professors at SJU. She is kind and compassionate and truly cares about her students. Her lectures are significantly lengthy, but she helps and prepares you well for all exams, quizzes and group project. Funny thing is, if u can't get an A in her class, you're wasting time!
Very easy class. She gives tests questions before hand at the class before the test. Required texts weren't necessary. She covers the same material in lecture as your supposed to read in class so if you don't show up you could just read... or you could do neither and just show up for quizzes, tests, and project presentations and you'd be fine.
The easiest class you can ever take. She gives you a study guide with the exact format for the test. One paper and group presentations in class. She reads what you're assigned to read for the whole class so no one does the reading assignment. She is sweet. You won't really learn anything but if you're looking for an A, TAKE HER.
Easiest class ever, just show up and do the assignments and you'll be fine. She does not really notice what you do so if you do not get an A you should take a good look at your life and stop slacking.
This class is honestly an easy A. Her tests and exams are all multiple choice and she gives a study guide before the exam that have all the questions on it. The biggest assignment you'll get in that class is a two page response paper. The lectures are a bit boring and long, but considering how easy it is to get an A, you might as well take this.
Professor Barbara is such a caring and sweet lady. Her classes are easy and she gives out study guides for the quizzes and the final exam. There are several quizzes (study guides provided), a group presentation (easy to receive points), and a final exam. Sometimes we have to watch movie clips and write responses on Blackboard, but those are easy.
This is the easiest class you will ever take in your entire life. She assigns readings but reads them verbatim in class, and nobody pays attention anyway. You have to show up for class participation and write a paper, have a few quizzes, a midterm and a final. She gives reviews for all exams that are explicit and extremely simple.
Professor Pinnola is the sweetest person ever! Her class is so easy and she makes theology enjoyable. Attendance is mandatory especially because she gives really easy participation assignments during class and if you miss class you won't get the credit. The quizzes and the final are so easy. She gives a really detailed study guide before each one.
Shes very kind and the work is easy
Pinnola's THE1000C class is one of the easiest A's you can ever get. You do need to show up to class in order to do the class participation activities that affect your grade, but it is extremely easy. Don't even worry about taking notes during class because you will get a study guide for every test and quiz, that is identical to the test itself.
Very light class, all you have to do is show up. You're graded based upon participation, which is a quick assignment each class submitted on BlackBoard usually and is super easy. Show up and you get all the credit. Every quiz is reviewed in class and she gives a clear study guide with every answer. Easy A if you do the do the basic work.
Prof. Pinnola's class is an easy A. She can be a little heavy with lectures however, her quizzes/midterm/final are literally the study guide. There is one easy 2 page paper and lots of group work. She is also a very nice lady and i appreciated her sincerity. Absolutely take this class.
The best theology professor ever! Loves her students and wants them to do good. Easy A if you study the study guides. There is a group project but she lets you work on it in class. Also there is one essay but you get to chose the topic and she gives you extra credit if you read it out loud. Overall great professor, love her!
You will literally get an A for showing up. She gives you all the time in the world to turn things in and gives you study guides that are verbatim what is on the tests. Allows you to make up work that is missed or late and is just a very nice woman. Show up and do the very easy work that is required of you and youll get an A
Prof. Pinnolas class is an easy A. Shell assign a bunch of tests but shell always give out a study guide beforehand thatll be identical to the test. Her midterm and final and super easy and shell also give you study guides for those. Shes caring and willing to overlook missed deadlines and accept late work.
She is the sweetest professor ever. She gives review sheets that are very similar to the tests. She truly loves her subject and cares about everyone doing their best in this class. You need the textbook for homework assignments.
Such a sweet lady! Made Christianity easy to learn and understand. You only have to read a little bit and do some discussions online to pass. Quizzes are so easy. Keep up with whats going on and youll do perfectly fine.
An angel.
Despite being fresh out of high school, I had never had a class that was as easy as hers since elementary school. If you are looking for an easy A, take her. The only reason I said I would not take her again was because she was a little too easy that it makes even the laziest student want to be challenged.
She really is so sweet. Her asynchronous class consists of discussion boards which are questions that are easily answered with the book. The study guides are exact replicas of the quizzes and exams. It's an easy A; 100% would take again.
This is the easiest class you will ever take!!!! Easy A. All you have to do is show up!!! She gives you all the answers to the test!!! Textbook is not required even though she says it is. You will need it for class discussions but you can find the answers online anyways regardless of the textbook. Do yourself a favor and take this class!
Loved Professor Pinnola so much! She made in-person class during COVID-19 so much better! I had her class at 7:30 am, but she made it bearable. Barely any homework, a few tests, one writing assignment, and a presentation. She gives study guides before all quizzes, and they're exactly the same as what's on the test.
Professor Pinnola is kind and understanding. Her classes are lecture based. Online discussions are done in class. She appreciates when you write thoughtful responses. Very relaxed class setting, I definitely recommend.
She's so so sweet. Just show up and do what you're asked. There are a few quizzes, a midterm, and a final throughout the semester but she gives study guides. There are discussion posts every class but she gives the answers. There's also one group project which is easy. Wish she taught every class.
Nicest Professor I had. She post powerpoints so you can look at them if you do miss class and wont be confused when coming back.
Absolutely a breeze, gives powerpoints, theres one group project, and study guides are given for every test. the test is literally the study guide.
Best professor! Highly recommended! The class is a full lecture with an assignment due at the end of class and a group discussion where we go over our responses. You don't need to pay attention to complete the work either. There is a group project and paper but both are easy A's. All tests/quizzes are on canvas during class time.
Take her for an easy A! There is no reason you should be getting less than a 90 in that class! Her study guides are the quizzes word-for-word! Definitely one of those classes where you can just sit on your phone or laptop the whole time.
this is the easiest class i have ever taken, its laughable. you dont have to pay attention or take notes. shell give you review for all the tests that are literally the questions from the test in order. theres one essay thats really easy too. take for credit, avoid if youre looking to learn something or be challenged.
Incredibly easy. Impossible to fail. Discussion board due at the end of each class, group discussion each class, the study guide is literally the quiz, quizzes and exams are online during class (all multiple choice), one easy pass essay, and one group project/presentation. No point in skipping her class either, it's basically a free period.
I loved this profesor!! The class is really easy, one group project/presentation. The rest are discussion boards you do in class. The exams are multiple choice and online in class, but she gives you a study guide. You dont really need the book, she usually uploads the pages you read on Canva. Other than that, loved her and I would take her again!
Sweetest woman alive .
PLEASE TAKE. Easiest A ever. All exams are word for word, the review sheet and are all online
awesome professor and awesome class! This class is an easy A, take it if you can. The professor is so sweet and understanding. There's one group project and an easy final essay. 1 short discussion post per class. I never bought the textbook, showed up to class maybe 60% of the time, and was always late to class and was still able to get an A.
Professor Pinnola's class was extremely easy. In-class discussion post assignments from the textbook and simple group projects. She gives you exactly what you need for the midterm and final. She's a really sweet professor, yet her class is lecture heavy, however, it is well worth it. Take her class!!!
She is a sweet lady You must attend class as the work is done in class its easy if you pay attention
She's the sweetest lady ever! The work is straight forward and she gives you reviews for the test which are word for word. She accepts late work and is very understanding if you communicate any difficulties. Group projects require minimum effort. Take her if you want an easy A.
literally the sweetest woman on this planet. i would take a bullet for her and i don't even think she knew my name. this is the easiest class of all time you would have to genuinely try to not get an A
Professor Pinnola, is such a sweet woman, she is kind and respectful and is not a tough grader whatsoever. Her assignments are super easy, and you do one discussion post every class and a few quizzes which she provides study guides for and are complete multiple choice with the study guide being the quiz. She was one of the easiest professors I have
Very nice professor, and the class is structured so you will pass. Very lecture heavy but not difficult at all.
She's the sweetest professor ever and people take advantage of that which tends to piss me off. One discussion post due each class and quizzes/test are online, in the same format and order of the review sheets she posts. It's hard to fail this class. People come in 20 min. before class ends & put no effort in their work while still passing w an A+
Most students write like a 14 year old in highschool for discussion posts & projects, and still manage to get an A. I find this a bit embarrassing because you have to present your work to the class for one of the projects but I mean that's how much of an easy A this class is. You can be super stupid and still pass! so if you're stupid, take her!
She is such a nice and kind-hearted person. The best professor so far I ever had at St. John's Definitely take her to boost your grade. Good professors make your life better and smoother.
Easiest class of all time, wish she could teach all theology classes. She does take attendance every class. Every class she would give a lecture which was pretty boring but you can just daydream. There is also a online discussion board every class which is pretty easy. Her quizzes and tests and final were all the same as the study guide.
I got up at 7 am to take this Professor.... DO IT. One of the easiest classes of my life. All tests were multiple choice, word for word off the study guide. Easiest religion class especially if you have no interest and taking it because it's required. One short paper, 4, quizzes, midterm, and final easy A. Professor is so sweet and understanding!
She makes your life easy. If you just want the theology credits like 95% of the class please take her. You have to try to not get an A. Can daydream during her lectures. Never need to know anything besides the review sheets which are word for word on the tests. Just have to show up because she does class discussions. But are so very simple.
This is by far the best professor i have ever encountered in my entire life. she has such a pure and genuine soul and is so soft spoken. i was in her 7:30 am class, and i absolutely loved it.
Take her!!!!
Professor Pinnola is a total sweetheart - this has to be one of the easiest classes ever. With Unstuck study and the helpful study guides, nailing the tests is a breeze. Minimal effort, maximum grade!
One of the easiest classes I've taken. Professor Pinnola is a sweetheart and the work is easy. The quizzes and tests are word for word off the study sheet, and we had a simple group project. Take her for easy credit!!!
It was such an easy class, lectures and quiz reviews had all the information that was needed.
This was the easiest class and the best professor I have genuinely ever had. The lecture is her literally reading the textbook which you dont even need because she gives out copies. Literally the easiest A of your LIFE all you have to do is be a sentient human being.
