For the love of GOD do not take her ONLINE class, save yourself the headache and the money cause this class is NOT worth it. She is extremely unorganized to the point that it makes it hard to know what is due and when, (yes, that bad). Does not take late work, no matter what reason you have, so yea just no, DO NOT do it to yourself.

I know some already said this, but I feel like it should be heard again. She is a TOUGH GRADER, very unorganized, swears that the way her lecture is planned out is organized, but it's not. The way she grades is horrible for the littlest thing that you do wrong. She doesn't care what is going on with her students she only cares that her hw isnt late

Worst professor I've ever had at CUNY. She is extremely unorganized. Her assignment instructions are filled with unnecessary information and, regardless, they are ambiguous. She is a horrible grader, will take off points for small details and her explanations for why she took off points are ridiculous. Would never recommend.

Not the most fun class to be honest! If you're looking for a class in which you could work on your own time this is the one. The reading wasn't all that interesting in my opinion but she is a very tough grader! So be aware of that! Overall she isn't that bad since you never get to meet her. So... You choose.

Her class is extremely complicated. Way too much reading and of course writing too. Doesn't matter how good is your writing you will end up getting a very low grade.

Professor Cammilleri doesn't accept late work and gave assignments consistently (every week) some were better than others. We only had 3 papers, a final, and a project. She also removes your lowest assignment grade and allows remakes on certain quizzes towards the end of the semester. Honestly, more work than I expected but it was bearable.
