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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
