I've never had her but I'm registered for her Human Sexuality class is she cool? I need Feedback!
she is an excellent!!! she explains with clarity, she gives great feedback to your answers,she is sarcastic in a funny way, her class is fun, and she makes the class really interesting, she does fun activities with every lecture. Her test may not be easy, but if you read and follow the chapters you can pass it for sure.
She is an awsome teacher, very respectful and dinamic, her classes are super fun and even though is alot of work she makes it easy and fun to learn it. You wont regret taking her class she is great!!!
She is funny and makes the class worthwhile. Unfortunately, I only had her for 50 mins. We need more teachers like her @ MDC!!!
she's the best ;) she gives 1 take home test and a group test but the others are the norm. just do the work...oh, a lot of notes but they help u study, over all take this class, u'll get an A.
she is a good teacher will work with you ... she is sexy 2
She is a very nice teacher and is very helpful. She makes her lectures very clear and interesting.She helps you pass the class.The only bad part is she puts very hard logic questions on her tests.
AWESOME TEACHER! She is very nice and very helpful! The class isn't that easy but if you take notes and study you'll get an A!!!
All she does is make you read. That's it... I couldn't stand it. What's the point in a professor if all she makes you do is READ the whole book.
her class wasn't that hard but she treated us like children and we all hated that we had take hm test which was a plus and she's pretty fair.
This teacher treats her students like little kids, her class is just her reading from a power point presentation, which you cant even write because she goes sooo fast. You have to stay the whole class. I felt like I was at my first day of Kindergarten
THIS TEACHER WAS A PAIN IN MY ASS. SHE TEACHES GOOD BUT IF YOU WANT A TEACHER THATS GOING TO MAKE YOU READ THE WHOLE BOOK THEN DONT TAKE HER. SHE DOESNT GIVE A REVIEW BEFORE THE TEST SHE JUST TELLS YOU TO READ THE CHAPTERS AND NOTES AND. AND THATS ALOT OF READING. I ONLY WILL TELL PSYCHOLOGY MAJORS TO TAKE HER.
I D0NT KN0W WAT EVERY0NE IS TALKING AB0UT.. HER CLASS IS SUPER EASY U D0NT REALLY NEED T0 READ HER FIRST 2 TEST ARE TAKE H0MES IF N0T GROUP TEST AND SHE ADDS 5 P0INTS T0 UR GRADE IF U NEVER MISS CLASS SO IF UGET AN 85 AVERAGE SHE GIVES U A 90 FINAL.. S0 SHE IS AN AWES0ME TEACHER.. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEMEND HER!
WELL THIS TEACHER IS A ok PROFESSOR.I MEAN IF YOU LOOKING FOR A CLASS WITH EXCITEMENT DONT TAKE HER CLASS.IF YOU LOOKING FOR A BORING AND POWERPOINT IN YOUR FACE ALL DAY,THIS IS THE CLASS FOR YOU.SHE IS COOL BUT AT THE SAME TIME SHE COULD BE BETTER,I LIKE THE TEST BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKE HOME TEST,I JUST HATE THAT WE HAVE TO READ THAT WHOLE THICK BOO
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR.
Prof. Pedreshi is a great professor. She keeps her students active in class. She is super nice. Her test are take home and with partners. She's very clear. MUST TAKE her. If you dont get an A or B is because you are seriously dumb...she doesnt like tardiness but overall she's great. You actually learn!
THE BEST and very funny
VERY NICE AND HELPFUL
she is very cool and wants her students to pass her class..no one will fail if assingments are turned in
Cares about her students success.
great professor, willing to help u out. as long as u don ur work ur good
SHE'S A GREAT TEACHER, AND SHE'S THERE FOR HER STUDENTS. JUST PAY ATTENTION, FOLLOW THE TEXTBOOK, AND DO THE ASSIGNMENTS..YOU'LL PASS.
She is excellenet just study, she lecture on what is going to be on the test and gives extra credit points on the test, you get an open book test. She is Great take the class very easy just go to class and study
this professor is so freaking awesome ! ! she cares more about you getting the information then just giving you a grade TAKE HER ! TAKE HER ! if u don't your an idiot
Great Professor!! Highly Recommended!! She puts the topic and reality together!! Cares about her students!!
Awesome teacher!!! She cares about her students and not about what grade you get on her class. She used to bring my class breakfast everyday so we could be ready to study psychology with her!! Very good teacher, totally recommend her.. Nice person and friend at the same time..
This teacher is amazing and great and wonderful she teaches how life is and how it goes ahead and comprehends what you do in your daily lives i wish i had her for 13 weeks instead the 6 weeks but she is great and helps out in any way i know she read the textboook and you will pass
She is amazing! Her class is very fun and the book that she used is easy to read. She's very upbeat so the class never gets too boring. She also knows what she is taking about so you get crystal clear explanations. However, you must get the book. It is everything in that class.
She is an awsome professor. Really nice and she cares about her students. The only way you can fail her class is if you dont come or do work but even then you will still have a chance. If you take her you'll know what I mean.
She is a grea Professor...attendance is mandatory though. Try not to have any consecutive absences or tardies because it will affect your overall average at the end of the semester.
Despite all these wonderful praises, she can be mean, especially on attendace. Don't be late or miss! Besides that, she is awesome. She's got some big ,too.
This professor is a sweethaeart. The key to passing her class is to read the chapters, do the extra credit, and don't be absent. She will answer any questions, and make the class fun!I learned alot.
I don't see the big deal with this professor. She is strict about attendance which I could care less about but all she does is flick thru powerpoints all class. She expects you to memorize 3 to 4 chapters at a time for her exams. LONG exams. LONGER chapters. I passed the class with an A but I've never had to work SOOO hard! She's pretty boring!
She's very easy. Of course she is strict with attendence, but her class is real fun.All her test was take home test.I recommend taking her you won't regret it
This has been my favorite professor since attending MDC. She is not boring and makes the class interesting and fun! She is very strict about attendance but she is very helpful and cares about her students. I highly recommend her your going to enjoy her class.. I'm going to miss her!
I didnt like this her. I had to wake up way to early to take her boring class. She loves to talk and makes a full of herself to get a laugh from students. All her test are take home but that doesnt make them easy! Sure you can say she is tough with attendance but I got to class late everyday. YOU WILL NEED THE BOOK. i never took it to class though.
STAY AWAY!!!!!She is not that good of a professor. I took her before and she was very exciting but now she is very boring. people still couldn't get A's on the take home tests and she is unfair with grading. And she rushes through her powerpoints and doesn't even give a study guide. And she's a lame.
Don't stay away. She's not hard. I got an A. The tests were take home for us but I think she said that she's change that. She constantly changes styles and tries to make LEARNING more easy for us. She loves & cares for her students so very much. And she's very funny and witty. The text book is a MUST. Not the easiest, but not painfully hard either.
Not so very great.Very strict w/ attendance.If you enter her class after she has taken attendance she doesnt let you in and you cant be in the class for that day.For us the test were take home and yet it was hard to pass with an A. Goes quick through power point nd doesnt allow to take notes. Just highlight book. Becareful if your gonna take her.
She is soooooo easy, forget wat everyone else said!!!! No Studying, no notes, no hw. Try to take her in the summer, 5 tests ALL TAKE HOME!!!! Really cool, forget wat the others wrote. really nice, just dnt be late or try to get up during class time.
Great teacher, great sense of humor, and fun class.
she is super great. very clear and has a good sense of humor. i recommend her to anyone who needs to take dep2000
This professor is awesome! She is very helpful and is always willing to help you pass. She made this course very fun!
THIS TEACHER IS SUPER FUN, MOST OF THE TEST SHE GIVES YOU ARE TAKE HOME, YES YOU HAVE TO READ YES YOU HAVE TO STUDY, BUT SHE MAKES THE CLASS FUN, ATTENDENCE IS A MUST AND YOU DNT REALLY HAVE TO HAVE YOUR TEXTBOOK,
She is great i love her. she is the best... take home tests... attendance is mandatory... but class is fun
BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!!! SHE'S NOT CLEAR, NO NOTES, AND IRRESPONSIBLE. YES SHE MAKES THE CLASS FUN BUT ALL WE DO IS WATCH YOUTUBE FOR LESSONS. ALL THE TEST ARE TAKE-HOME BUT THEY ARE LONG AND REALLY DONT PERTAIN TO THE CHAPTER. IF YOU LIKE RESPONSIBLE, ON TIMES, ACTUAL ACCURATE NOTES GIVEN TEACHER, DONT TAKE HER!!!!
Stay away she does not care about her students SHES HORRIBLE.
very hard, she just read the vocab from the textbook, and absent many times, if you come after she called the attendance, you can't enter the class anymore, not allowed to use bathroom without her permission, 7 exam, even though is online but she shuffle the question and makes very hard, not enough time to finish, grades will not round or drop.
Great professor. The only students who have a problem with this prof. is the students who's not willing to learn. For goodness sack she give you take home test. What mpore can you ask for. Take her, you have fun and learn at the same time. There is only a few test which she lets you know when and one service learning. A+.
SHE'S GREAT. VERY WELCOMING AND KIND TO ALL HER STUDENTS. SHE DOESN'T PLAY ABOUT THE CELLPHONES SO PAY ATTENTION. SHE MAKE SURE SHE REVIEWS THE CLASS CHAPTERS. IF YOU DON'T READ THE CHAPTER YOU WILL STRONG. IT IS STRONG SUGGESTED THAT YOU HAVE A BOOK AND KEEP ALL PAPERWORK TIL THE SEMSTER IS OVER. AND I GRANTEE WITH FLYIN COLORS YOU WILL PASS
This professor is the best psychology professor at Miami Dade ever to step into the institution. If you do not take this professor you?re a fool! She has an awesome style of teaching, and high dedication that she devotes toward her students.
HER TEACHING SKILLS ARE YOUTUBE AND ONLINE WORK. HER TESTS ARE TAKE-HOME BUT LONG AND CONFUSING. BOTTOM LINE SHE IS AN OKAY PROFESSOR. VERY STRICT WITH ATTENDANCE AND RESTROOM BREAKS, SHE IS ABSENCE ALOT BUT IS VERY UNDERSTANDING.
Positives: she knows what she talking about, Very professional, helpful, the class was fun and interesting, put us in groups. Negatives: the test were kind of hard. some questions were common sense. Overall I give her an A.
as pysch being my major i went opened minded but you basically have to teach yourself everything. she barely goes over the chapters in depth to understand. attendance is mandatory yet she's absent alot and gives busy work that doesn't count for anything. take her class if you like psychology and don't mind teaching yourself the material.
so I took this lady for fall and I thought she was freakin Crazy! but then she told the class that she had ADHD so..the class was really easy there no hw and most of the test were take home and you can find the answers right in the book just by scaning. I recomend u take this Prof over hendrix
I took this professor in the fall and she extremely fun! She does make you read the entire book but goes over it with you in class. All tests are online and your grade is based on 5 exams. If you like to read and are good at retaining information you wont have any problems taking her DEP2000 class.
Great Professor, easy class. Take good notes, do all assignment-especially the research paper and yoy will pass. Its that simple. She makes it very fun and easy to learn.
Shes a little wacky but i love her. the class is extremely easy. 5 tests and a service learning project. you can tell her about your problems and she will listen. funny too! i recommend her
Who paid those ppl to say she was great?? that is a huge lie! she just talks about her kids & parents & then the tests are awful very hard & 75 questions! she missed 4 classes but wont let u in the classroom if u r 5 min late! ur GPA will suffer if u take her class!!
An eccentric & fun prof. who effectively employs real-world examples to keep you interested. Teaches mainly off PowerPoint; you'll need to read the chapter yourself to get all the details. 5 online tests & Service Learning Project. Overall, there's no excuse for getting less than an A in the class.
This teacher SUCKS! All she does is talk all day about stupidity.. then in the last 15 min she tries cramming all of the chpt in to your brains! She undermines everyone making them feel like they are in highschool by constantly telling us we need to raise our hands to speak, put away our cellphones and dont talk to your neighbors.. yada yada yada!
LOVE HER, no hw, 4 tests, her stories about her kids are hilarious, she is a psycology major so she understands her students, if you need advice or help she is always available, she has missed about 5 classes and does not let you know prior that she will be missing, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION AND STUDY HOW SHE SAYS, YOU WILL PASS WITH A "B" AT LEAST
If you want to teach yourself than this class is def for you. She really does talk for a loooong time and then in the last 20 - 15 min of class she actually teaches. The book is a must and there are 5 test that have NOTHING to do with the little she covers in class.
PROF. PREDRESCHI IS A GREAT TEACHER.. YOU DO KINDA HAVE TO TEACH YOUR SELF BUT SHE DOES TEACHES... THE BOOK IS A ((MUST))!! EVERY 4 CHAPTERS THERES A ((ONLINE TEST)) THERES 4 TEST... THERES NO WAY YOU CAN FAIL UNLESS YOU NEVER ATTEND CLASS. AT THE END OF THE CLASS SHE GIVES YOU 5 POINTS THAT CAN REALLY HELP... SHES A GREAT TEACHER AND PSYCHOLOGIST
She's AMAZING! i love the way she explains things, she is a very good teacher and she is good at what she does. She talks most of the time, but everything she says is interesting.
This teacher is nothing short of amazing. She is interactive and gives real-world examples and advice on topics discussed in class. She is a very animated character and that's what makes her so great. If you don't take any other psych class, this is the only one you'll ever need!
Shes an OK teacher. Shes TRIES to be funny but w/e. If you want to teach yourself then this is the perfect class. There are 7 test & a service learning project at the end of the semester. The test are online. 55 ?'s. 70 mins. MAX. She teaches one chapter in 2 days. Each chapter is like 60 some pages. If its your first time in college good luck.
She's a good professor, and a good person. She helps and talks to you whenever you're in trouble with her class, and she has an energetic nature. The class isn't so long, so I don't expect her to teach us everything. In any case, She applies psychology to her teaching and it helps a lot. Reading the book and studying is a must though. Take her.
Prof. Pedreschi helps students grow up. She makes it mandatory to show up to every single class. If you are going to be a minute late to class. Don't even bother showing up. The tests are online and sometimes give problems. She's very helpful and nice. Doesn't want to be treated bad. She's very intimidating at first,but don't let her scare you off!
VERY STRICT !! WONT LET YOU IN A MIN AFTER CLASS STARTS, MOST OF WHAT SHE LECTURES ISN'T ON THE TESTS, SO READING EACH CHAPTER IS A MUST !!! OVERALL SHE ACTS LIKE YOUR MOM.
Horrible teacher! She only uses powerpoints to teach the same lectures as always and all her tests are online! she does not curve your grade at all and is very strict with her syllabus!!! don't take her if you want an easy A!!!!
She is honestly the best professor I have taken at MDC. She is strict and her class is not easy but it's college. She genuinely cares about all her students and her lectures are very clear and she makes them fun. All the quizzes are online so you go at your own pace. There are no surprises with your grade at the end.
Best Teacher EVER!!!
She isn't helpful at all.
I had her during summer and she explained each topic with great detail. She taught us on how to manage our time wisely and great ways to study. MDC needs more teachers like her! She is Dynamic, energetic, funny, and easy to relate to. If you had to choose between her and another class choose her. Reminder: take quick notes on the topic she covers, it's all on the tests, and if you have any question or concern ask her and she would be glad to help.
She is great! very very helpful not only with her course but with anything else as well! RECOMMEND
Great Professor and extremely helpful. All her quizzes are online. There are 2 papers that she makes you do and she also makes you do service learning.
She starts out with a tough no nonsense approach but she really is a great professor. Do all that she requires and service learning and you will definitely pass.
I took the psychology class with her and it was REALLY easy!! Just do the service learning and study the terms for the tests and you will be just finee!!.. If you don't hve good memory that's a problem haha.. Attendance is MANDATORY and don't be late to her class.. the class is interesting
She was a fair professor. I had her in the summer and it's only quizzes online but read the chapters, wants you to bring the book in class. She is strict about attendance. She gives lessons on how to treat our bodies. Overall she is good.
One word: Perfection. She's always ready to give you advice. she makes you feel like you're her child. Her lectures are good, but read the book. Tests online which sucks but study hard and you'll do fine. I took her for summer b, test had expiration date so don't let that get you. Be on time, and no cellphones. Very funny, and loving. BEST TEACHER!
She is great! Other than asking all of her students to bring the textbook to every single class and to be on time and always in class, she is great. She teaches us how to take care of our bodies and makes the class interesting. I liked her and she was my first college professor and by far, she was the best. TAKE DEP2000 WITH HER!
she's great and very helpful. makes the class very interesting. I recommended her 100%. also, be on time and try not to miss class. read the textbook, study and you're going to be fine. she's the best!
She's everything everyone else has already said. Easy class to pass if you study.
The best. Strict with attendance. Will not let you in class after she takes attendance. Textbook and access code are mandatory. Pretty easy class, quizzes are online. 50 questions each but they're pretty easy if you pay attention in her lectures and study. She's funny and super nice. Service learning project is mandatory as well.
The book is mandatory & so is the access code online. You get around 7 quizzes total plus service learning for the whole semester. If you don't pay attention in class & not study the material, you will not pass. Other than that her class is easy and she's so nice & helpful.
I ABSOULTELY LOVEEEE THIS PROFESSOR! SHE IS SOO AWESOME. SHE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING CLEARLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, SHE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THIS IS SUCH A FUN CLASS! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS SHE DOESNT CURVE YOUR GRADES. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, SHES AMAZING !
Shes a cool person outside out class. Her tests are online and they're not that bad. Its important to her that you attend class but all she does is read the PowerPoint a expects you to bring the book although we do no use it in class. She hates when students step in late or tries to step out which is annoying. Shes an okay prof. hard A/B.
Go to class is mandatory, the book is mandatory, deadlines are deadly. She thinks she is your mom. Tests are long and difficult. They are online. My best recommendation to you is that if you are planing to take this class find a classmate to take the test with you, so you can share the work. You will need to be at least 3 people to get an A.
She a cool person but very strict. Her quizzes are online, so if you get a group of friends together and do it (makes it easier). She's not very hard if you just do what she says.
Attendance is mandatory. you need the textbook !! no midterm no final , only 7 quizzes which are all online and one paper. her class was easy i passed with an A
Very Strict on attendance and punctuality. The book is definitely a must, you can use it during the quizzes but if you don't study and open book will do you no benefit. Her powerpoint is recap of what is in the book and are very helpful. If you're willing to study this is a great professor!
Prof. Pedreschi is one of the best professors I've had so far. Her lectures are easy to understand and prepare you for her quizzes. The quizzes aren't hard if you read the chapters thoroughly. She's always willing to help and her office is always open to her students.
I absolutely loved her class. Her lectures are easy to understand, as well as the book. Her quizzes are easy to complete as long as you read the chapters and do some of the practice quizzes. Her office is always open to her students and she is ready to help with whatever she can. I highly recommend her.
One of the best Professors I think I will have. EXCELLENT professor and class!!!
Besides the fact that my class was perfectly filled with women from all walks of life, class was perf! She's super clear. She is very knowledgeable. TIPS:Attendance is mandatory; if you have her full term you will have to do service learning; the book is required but I didn't see much use for it; access code required. She's is more than a teacher!
The best professor ever. She is so nice and she actually cares if you pass. You take 7 test and they're all online so you need the access code and you're required to take them in building 2 but they are cake. Easiest A ever. Take her you will not regret it.
She is great,but don't be late,
I enjoyed this class, she is super funny and makes the lectures relatable. Do not be late for class, she will not let you enter. No major projects, she gives the occasional test per chapters. Overall she is a wonderful teacher and her class is easy to pass if you just follow instructions. She is there to help whenever you need her.
Professor Pedreschi is one amazing individual! Her class has changed my perspective and opened a lot of doors in my future. She is a very sweet lady and she is very caring too. She is always concerned for your well being. I recommend her class to anyone who wants to be motivated to make a change for the better.
How to Pass her class with an A. 1. Put A LOT of effort into whatever project she gives you. EDIT EDIT EDIT your work. 2. Take the online test with a friend unless there is a reason for you not to. 3. Speak up in class. Tada! You've passed DEP2000
VERY CONTRADICTING. QUIZZES ARE 50 QUESTIONS AND THERE ARE 7 OF THEM . NO REVIEWS. TALKS ABOUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE ACTUAL SUBJECT. BOOK MANDATORY. TAKES OFF POINTS FOR ATTENDANCE BUT MISSES CLASS AND IS LATE HERSELF.
She is something else, for she will change your perspective on world issues! She won't let you in class after she took attendance. All test are on LaunchedPad, and yes, you have to buy the book! No book, no happy prof. You will learn about the human growth and the major project is due in the middle of the semester! I recommend her!
SHe is amazing when it comes to help. Test are tough. Amazing personality. If you miss 5 classes you are out!
She doesn't give second chances but if you study really hard and do her service learning project and pass all the quizzes then you're fine. There are 7 quizzes, 50 questions on each quiz and they are all multiple choice. She talks a lot which makes the class feel slower. And buy the book because you need it to pass and you need it for the quizzes.
This class always went by slow. Quizzestests are online and sometimes they can be a bit tricky, but nothing out of control. She's big on service learning, so choose your organization wisely, start early, and you'll surprisingly enjoy it. Try to make it to class on time. If you're late, she won't let you stay. Overall, it's an easygoing class.
She is the definition why college education is so fustrating and without fun. Very hard on rules and tough on everything. Lots of tests
she is very good
I enjoyed her class. She teaches everyday, and makes the lectures hands-on. However, she is strict with grading and if you mess up in the exam or you forget to complete it, she won't let you remake it. The tests are easy if you read the chapter and complete Learnsmart. If you don't go to class she'll drop you from the roster. It was good overall.
The professor's class is easy, yet contains a lot of work. The downfall of the class is the professor's lectures.
Great professor. She cares a lot about the students, at the same time she is strict when it comes to following rules. She takes attendance very serious and deadlines as well. But overall, she teaches very good and if you do your work and follows all her directions you will get an easy "A".
This class is an easy A, you have 7 tests (50 questions each) online, they're super easy and you can use the book. There's also a service learning project which can be a bit annoying if you work like I do. Overall the class is a piece of cake, she just gets annoying and treats the class as if we were in high school, but at least it's an easy A!
This class was easy but annoying there is service learning project you have to do. 15 hours to be exact but overall the class was fine. Easy to pass but you have to know your syllabus she only goes by it. Only 7 quizzes that are online that you can take at home and find the answers online. Overall would take her again if she didn't have service...
This is an easy A or B class. She explain very well. I took her this semester for summer A. I did well but you have to have to focused it's 7 quizzes and 5 assignments in 6 weeks. It was so fast but I got a B. She is very strict, you can't be late then she required text book. Just study then you will be fine...
I loved her! She really cares about her students. We had 7 tests and a service learning project, so there were only 8 grades in total. which averaged out because everything was weighed the same. Lectures are very straight-forward and she even incorporates some activities for the class. I would love to take her again. She's such a great person.
She loves and cares for the development of her students. She is both inspirational and true a mentor. Ask her questions about how to get out of big problems in life for she will try her very best to help you succeed. In class, she is strict and demanding. You must be ready to learn. She has no mercy. You really need to work for your grade.
She's amazing! You must be applied. Book is mandatory in class but rent it and buy access code, its cheaper that way. Study chapters and you will ace her quizzes. She is very knowledgable and really cares for her students. If you show you care, she cares. DON'T BE LATE! NO CELL PHONES! NO EATING IN CLASS! She means business.
She can be strict at times, but she does so because she cares in order to build in her students to live in the world of precision - in others words "do work now and not later": a great class to overcome procrastination)
This professor is just an odd one. She will always tell you to refer to your syllabus but some information isn't even on the thing. Textbook HARD COPY only. Instead of letting you read it electronically through launchpad, she wants you to have a hard copy. She isn't hard mind you but she can make things simpler but chooses not to
Great professor, she is not as strict as people make it seem. She just doesn't mess around which is ok because we are after all college students. She will tell you exactly what she wants and your guaranteed to pass her class if you actually try and listen.
The tests are online and very easy so do not worry about that. It is an easy A but she is VERY hard to tolerate. Her syllabus is like 20 pages long and expects you to print it out and know it by memory. You must have the book in class every day even thought you don't need it for the exams. She gives busy work like if we were in the 5th grade.
Avoidddd this class if you don't want to be treated like a kid. I would suggest to duct tape ur mouth shut because she always go crazy if she hears talking. She requires a textbook which would feel useless bcuz she skips through the chapters in a millisecond. TBH you would learn more by cheating on her tests finding it online then in class. AVOID
She enforces attendance so heavily but this semester she was absent more than 5 times herself, yet if I am absent 5 times I'm dropped. She doesn't excuse any of your absences yet wants you to excuse her because she's sick. Like students don't have the right to be sick and miss class more than 5 times. She gets butt hurt easily, don't take her!
Overall easy class. She is EXTREMELY strict on attendance and tardiness, she doesn't even like when you use the restroom during class. She also doesn't let you come in after she's taken attendance otherwise she's funny and caring. Read the chapters , follow instructions and you'll get an A.
Honestly, she's OK. She's a bit opinionated and may offend some with her straightforward and often misguided (although well meaning??) commentary. If you ignore it, follow her Holy Grail of a syllabus, and go to the Computer Courtyard to take the quizzes (TESTS) you'll get that A. Attendance policy is a bit strict, but hey, this is college, folks.
I love this class, attendance is mandatory so missing 5 classes you will be dropped. Easy A if do as she says. 7 quizzes in total for the whole semester which are online and one project. She can be a bit strict but she cares about your grade. Got an A in the semester. I would definitely take her again
She's amazing ! I loved her class and I learned a lot. Your grade for the class are based on 7 quizzes that you take online. You have to acuatlly study for the quizzes.
be prepared to study for the tests, too many chapters for just 4 months of class and you have a test every two chapters and not enough time in class to understand them, she also gives a final project t not exactly related to the chapters.
Comes across as nice but she is not! Very hard and strict on the simplest of things. Comes across as passionate but kooky at the same time. You have to learn on your own. She is just there to enforce rules. Would not take her again EVER
She has the same grading criteria for all of her classes. 7 quizzes and a project. The quizzes are all online and you can finish them whenever u want. You can either do the project or go to the workshops. Easy class
Her class is soooo easy. The only con is that she talks sooooooooooooo much! It can be a little annoying at times,but you should pass her class with a solid A! 7 quizzes due by the end of the semester w/ the choice to do Malls project or human rights project which really equal to 8 quizzes!
Easy class, but the prof is annoying! She talks a lot and is very invasive, always digging into our personal lives. The class is 7 online quizzes that you HAVE to take on campus (I used the book for all of them) and a choice of two projects, MALLs or Human Rights paper. I chose MALLs because it's just attending workshops! Very strict attendance
The textbook is mandatory, but you'll hardly use it in class. 7 quizzes, no midterm or final. Gives 2 options for extra credit, but they're both mandatory (adds 20 points to your first quiz grade, so they're totally worth it!)
Very easy class.7 50 Q quizzes, and you have the choice to do a human rights paper or attend the MALLS program. did the paper because I had no time for the 8 MALLS seminars. Only downside is that she talks a lot & strict on attendance. If you're late she will not let u in. If you're able to take her for 6 or 8 weeks do it! Wish I had that option.
Teaches off a power point but provides great lectures. She keep you interested and wanting to learn. There are 7 quizzes online and 1 project that determines your final grade.I plan on taking her again for psychology in the summer . I love her . Basically you determine your grade in the class if you make the time to read the chapters in the book.
She is so adorable. She is the type of professor that really cares about her students. She is kinda strict and not afraid to put you in your place but super caring and smart. Overall she is really direct with what she expects so FOLLOW THE SYLLABUS AND YOU WILL DO GREAT.
The only reason i would retake her class is because it is easy. All you have to do is 7 quizzes and 1 project, but you can opt out of the project by going to about 8 MALLs seminars. If you are late she will not let you in most of the time but she skips through the chapters quickly. You learn on your own and talks off topic a lot. Very boring also
She talks about the importance of being on time for class but most of the time she is 4 or 5 min late. She has a very strict assistance policy and spends so much time talking about how she can help the students to save money, but she makes you purchase the textbook (173) because she doesn't allow you to use the ebook in class, which is way cheaper.
best professor at miami dade she is so sweet , i passed her class whit an A , very easy guys
Here's a professor her takes her job seriously and enjoys working with students. Always dressed professionally and always has a smile on her face. Want to take Human Growth & Development in peace, register for her class. You won't regret i.
This class is extremely lecture heavy but you will still pass with even if you barely pay attention in class. She will lecture straight from the textbook which is mandatory along with the access code. The grade will consist of approx. 7 quizzes (straight from the text book, elementary style questions) and possibly a group project. She cares a lot.
I have taken PSY2012 with this professor. Let me start off by saying how great this class is and how alive she makes it as soon as she walks in the room. Overall the material is easy to remember and easy to pass the class. She loves to read from the book but interacts with her classmates more than a regular professor would.
I wouldnt recommend this lady unless you would like to teach yourself . She literally scan through chapters , youll learn one chapter in two days or less. She gives all her quiz online and one project. I wouldnt recommend.
For me this was an easy class her tests are online which must be taken at school, open book but the test is timed so you would have to know your material beforehand. She gave one project. ATTENDANCE MATTERS! ALSO BUYING THE BOOK IS ESSENTIAL she doesn't allow you to share.
The class could not be any easier to earn an A but she is very strict on attendance and being on time. Two late arrivals and she marks you absent. Quizzes are online and very easy but must be completed on campus, although not a big deal. She mother's you to death because does not stop talking about what to do and what not to do in class.
talks too much about her personal life and the class is basically all online with one writing assignment. if you dont like annoying teachers who talk a lot dont take her
This lady is AMAZING! But is really annoying at the same time! Don't take her for an 8 AM CLASS AT ALL!
This professor is awesome. She cares about her students success and is always willing to help. She's strict on attendance however.
Prof Pedreschi has very strict rules about attendance and working with textbook in class. She makes you work for your grade, with 7 online quizzes through Mc Grawhill connect which have to be taken at the Computer Courtyard and one paper on Human Rights. She is very caring and will work with you in her office to help you catch up.
She is a great teacher I really enjoyed her class. She is very caring and I would definitely take her again. She gives 7 quizzes online that must be taken in the computer courtyard and an human rights paper is completed in steps. She can be annoying at times and her class is kind of boring but youll definitely pass if you put forth effort.
You need the book (around $165 or a little less for the online code but you need the book in class or she gives you attitude.) 7 online quizzes to take at the courtyard. One annoying HR Project. Talks too much, she repeats everything every day, and is the most strict with attendance and being on time, exhausting class it feels awful to sit there.
Prof. Pedreschi truly cares about her students and tries very hard for them to succeed. This sometimes translates into almost child-like assignments and easy tests that are taken outside of the classroom. She rushed through the whole book and lacked depth on many important topics. LOT of focus on Human Rights assignment (a bit off topic).
Great teacher. Make sure you come to class !!! 7 quizzes and 1 human rights essay and thats your semester. Couple of pop quizzes 5quetions. Dont be Late to class!! All quizzes due end of the semester. Give respect get respect
She is an amazing professor. She knows resources and when she comes across them she shares. She cares a lot about her students, more than any professor I have ever met so far. Follow her syllabus, get your textbook on Amazon cheaper you'll be fine. She's a rare type of professor. Watch your attendance, and no cellphones.
she is really strick on tardiness, and you have to follow her rules. Always bring your textbook unless she said something. She cares about her students, she is amazing.
The worse teacher Ive ever seen in MDC. She wont care about you. If you dont have money to buy the book and the access code, stay away, she will make you look stupid In front of everyone. Made me feel embarrassed since I couldnt afford her book, and wont care if you learning only if you eat in class or if you arrive 1 minute late. People work.
She is an amazing professor and prepares you to think logically and professionally. I enjoyed her teaching methods. She comes off as strict, but she is really nuturing and attentive. If you follow all her instructions, you should pass with no less than an A. All quizzes are open book.
My first semester of college she was honestly my favorite teacher. I had at as a night class and she had so much energy and shes funny. The class consist of 7 test that are taken online she canceled the project which was great. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY do not be late shes strict on that. Super great teacher Id love to have her again
Shes a cool professor. Doesnt give a lot of work. Lectures are fun and entertaining . Although She is very strict on her rules, as long as your not being disrespectful or on your phone youll be fine. 7 quizzes and 1 easy human rights project and youll pass. Theres also extra credit as well. Skip class and u wont pass. I recommend take her.
She was so annoying and treated us like children.
This professor is a good person and you can tell she cares about the world and her students but goes off the actual class topics sometimes. DO NOT be late, DO NOT use your phone, likes to pair you up with people often. All quizzes are online. All she really does is speak in class rarely assigns homework.
Strict about the attendance policy that she cannot follow herself. Although shes missed over 5+ classes herself. She feels thats students cant have sick days but she can. I found it sad how she hold students to standards that she cant even hold herself.
Taking Professor Pedreschi's class was very easy. You need the book to pass the class, you have to participate. She's very kind, helpful, and she genuinely tries to keep the class spirit high. The only annoying part was dealing with her reprimanding the "kids" in the class who act up. Kids, grow up and do the class and go home. Very easy class.
An easy class that comes at a price, she treats you like elementary students and makes you do a project that isn't even relevant to the class. Buy the physical book and launchpad code, if not she'll humiliate you in front of the entire class. Your grade is based off 7 exams which are on launchpad, they're easy and straight from the book.
Her class is basically a few quizzes and a project at the end. It was very easy.
Important to get there on time. Cannot use your phone. No tests. She is very aware of the outside world and always brings everything into perspective during her lectures. Do not have to participate. Cannot eat in class, but can eat before. No homework. We did have assignments and projects to do (you can do it alone).
She cares about attendance and participation. Does not extend due dates. Overall great teacher.
This class is not hard to pass or take but be warn this professor is very stubborn and rude if you arrive late to her class don't participate she will mark you absent will not take any excuses she will just humiliate you lower your self esteem questioned you as if you are an idiot just do you launch pad quizzes what you are told and you will pass.
Honestly the only Prof i had this semester who really taught! Bc of COVID i had to take this class remotely but her lectures are really good. Shes really about attendance so make sure you show up! Time flies quick in the class since she teaches well and you can ask questions! No midterm just small quizzes in the textbook & group activities!
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!! She is extremely rude and will make you feel less of yourself. She will speak to you like a CHILD! She doesn't care about any excuse you have, she will caught you off and mark you absent for the day. 1 minute late and she will call you out in-front t of the entire class and make you look dumb.
She is a caring and nice PERSON, but as a teacher she is too harsh or strict sometimes, gets upset when you're barely late and doesn't really understand how hard times are right now. Easy class.
Shes very strict on attendance and arriving early, but is overall an amazing professor. You can tell that she loves what she does and wants whats best for her students. The class is not hard at all as long as you put forth effort.
She was great teacher, at first she was rough since I had a rough start with her in resulting almost dropping the class however I took it upon myself to take it. She goes in depth with the material and spends time explaining it. She cares for her students and makes sure they study and understand to pass. The class heavily weighs on tests so study.
The second worse teacher I have ever had. Unless you want a rude professor who acts like she cares about her students but in reality doesn't then take her. Save yourself the time.
Professor Pedreschi has to be my FAVORITE professor. She is so caring and is always willing to help her students with any problems they may have. All of the tests are super easy. Use the study tools on the Revel app and take the little quizzes on there and you will most definitely pass this class.
Attendance is mandatory, and you risk being dropped after three absences. Your final grade is determined by exams alone, and there is a lot of homework that does not count towards your final grade (but is still mandatory). Very understanding professor with some setbacks.
She is a wonderful prof! I wouldn't say an easy A if you don't use the book to review before the tests, but you can get an easy A by doing so. She's super funny and cares for her students. She's very motivating and the best part, ... She moved her class to remote learning. Not a day on campus!
This prof is a gem, you will feel as though it is too much at first but it really is an easy class. If you simply get the online homework done and attend class you will pass with an A. She also likes when you participate in the discussion which doesn't end up being hard because you will actually want to say something.
Enjoyed this class, it was very interesting and interactive. You won't be bored, and the class was fairly easy. If you do online assignments, participate, and attend class you will pass.
I don't know how can students give her this rate. She is the worst professor ever. STAY AWAY! This is college not high school. YOU WILL GET TREATED LIKE A KID! This class is not worth it, her book is mandatory and costs $165, if you don't have it, you won't pass. She makes you look stupid in front of everyone and is very rude. Cuando el rio suena..
DONT TAKE HER!!She is micro-aggressive to black people. From personal experience she has said some very iffy things about black people. She says she is black but she is a white passing Latin. She said to us "I'm so proud of all these black girls with their hair out, I'm glad we are not copying white people".(wym by that???)
I don't why some say she treats you as a kid and racist?? She treats everyone with respect and doesn't want anyone to feel stressed out. Her class was easy and VERY fun. 5 exams, non proctored. No mandatory HW, just read Revel at your own pace. Had her once before and she is still the same and great as always! I recommend her for DEP2000 as well!
She will drop you. even if your grade is an A you will still be dropped if she feels you don't come to class or if your "rude"
This professor is very rude. If you make a mistake because you don't have all the information available, she will respond in a passive-aggressive way. The first sentence of the email will be a very nice line. After that one, be ready to feel as if you had done something dishonest, immoral or something. I dropped her class.
Your grade depends on 5 tests, so not many assignments. However, attendance is definitely mandatory and she will drop you for being absent or having your camera off. She gave 2, 10 minute breaks but can not turn your camera off outside of break. This was my least favorite part. She presented herself as kind, but her class feels like elementary.
The absolute worst. Says "this isn't high school" but treats you like a child. Will embarrass you in front of the entire class and is very micro-aggressive. It was very hard to pay attention and enjoy the class.
DONT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!! SHE IS RUDE AND WILL EMBARRASS YOU IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. SHE IS SO STRICT WITH HAVING YOUR CAMERA ON THAT EVEN IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT BECAUSE YOU SAW A BIRD OR ETC SHE WILL TELL YOU WHY AND THAT YOU CANT LOOK AWAY IF SHE SEES YOU DRINKING OR EATING SOMETHING SHE WILL ALSO CALL YOU OUT!! DOESNT CARE AT ALL OF STUDENTS
STOP! DONT TAKE HER SHE IS RUDE AND TREATS YOU LIKE A KID YOU CANT EVEN EAT AT YOUR HOUSE OR DRINK ANYTHING BECAUSE SHE WILL CALL YOU OUT!! DOESNT CARE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS AND IS ALWAYS THREATENING YOU WITH DROPPING YOU FROM HER CLASS. WHEN YOU TAKE ONLINE CLASS IS TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE BUT WITH HER ITS WORSE THAT IN PERSON CLASS! DO NOT TAKE HER
If you do not like hyperactive and extremely attentive professors respectfully, do not take this professor. Dr. Pedreschi. She is eager and high-spirited and will call you out. She sometimes speaks to her students bluntly, which can catch students by surprise. She is very comprehensive about her subject, and tip: DO NOT MISS ATTENDANCE.
I like Professor Pedreschi she's very nice and does talk a lot. She does respond to emails if you need to speak with her about powerpoint slides she goes through. The thing I don't like about this class is she doesn't really put your grades in blackboard which is a bit annoying so you won't really know if you did good or not.
Professor Pedreschi will berate students for having to use the bathroom during or before she starts teaching and if the student argues back, she kicks them out. She also uses her friendship with the Dean to get students to obey her sometimes. She will also berate you if your Zoom is having issues during class, which happened to me.
0 STARS , DO NOT RECOMMEND, SHE WILL KICK YOU OUT FOR NO REASON. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND AN EMBARRASSMENT TO MIAMI DADE COLLEGE. USED MY PAYED FOR CLASS TIME TO ADVOCATE FOR ISRAEL AND INFLICT HER POLITICAL AGENDA WHICH IS A COMPLETE VIOLATION. BUT SHE IS CONSTANTLY DISRESPECTING STUDENTS AND ABUSING HER POSITION.
Professor Pedreschi is the BEST. Her class is easy. The only downside is your camera has to be on at all times. Also, she calls you out if it seems you are not paying attention. There is no real homework just to read the chapters. Your grade is based on five exams, which you'll pass if you read the chapters and take notes.
SUPER LAZY, all she ever did was play videos and tell us to take notes on the videos,...that's it, her approach to teaching is garbage, at first she was good, engaging with class, ACTUALLY TEACHING , but then she started getting super annoying with the rules of always having your camera on and if you had issues she would kick you out
Avoid this class teacher acts like high school teacher. Rude, immature, and prideful Passive-aggressive, humiliates students publicly, makes misogynistic comments, and is VERY nosy about personal life. Expresses controversial views on Gaza and Israel, favoring Israel. ABUSES HER POWER. DOESNT TEACH ONLY SHOWS VIDEOS. Past incidents? will target u
Very self centered Teacher.
Does not allow you to communicate with peers
The professor can be strict, but if you stay engaged and use helpful tools like unstuckstudy, you'll do well. Mandatory attendance and no tolerance for distractions, but the material is manageable.
A little controlling and stern…
every week I grow to dislike her more and more
Will treat you like an actual child, also mandatory camera no matter what if you're taking her online
I guess she's alright. I took her for social psychology and she assigns 4 exams. There's also practice tests but they're not for a grade, but it's recommended to do them. Don't get distracted or be late to her class because she can be tiresome sometimes.
