Everyday in a really annoying voice: Please turn off your cell phones. Makes material much harder than it actually is. Take it from Taylor in the fall!!! Much easier!

what should be an easy class was extremely hard - read from powerpoints everyday which is pointless and had forecasts which became a waste of time

bad teacher, class not too bad but the assignments are worst i've ever done, tries to teach writing in a class of 300+ students, dosen't work

She is terrible. I took this class to get an easy A and ended up with a D+. It is a pointless class with her. Do not take any class with her.

Classes are extremely boring, hard to pay attention, and it is difficult to comprehend all the information on her powerpoints. Tests are hard to study for due to the fact that there is so much information and most of it isn't on the test. Horrible teacher. Makes the class harder than it should be.

A somewhat challenging class. Curve really helps for how hard the tests are. Frustrating professor to try and talk to one on one about grading, or moving the final due to having another exam at the same time. Wouldnt recommend taking. Trys to influence student beliefs by pulling absurd statistics to support what she thinks.

impossible to reach in person. not very lenient

Expect no teaching and be graded on material not explained. She is very hard to understand due to a stroke. Very difficult class. Drop the class if you can.

If you are taking this class because you think it'll be easy, think again. It is extremely difficult and Cervato is a terrible professor. She makes the class way harder than it needs to be. There is a curve, but even with it, you'll have a hard time. Honestly, just do the best that you can and get out of there with a proud C.

She is arrogant or extremely stupid. She honestly believes Geology is this amazing and very easy thing. She thinks everyone in her intro class is there because of their passion for Geology. She gets confused as to why the class averages on every Exam are a 50%, the fact that she doesn't teach at all seems to escape her. She's extremely arrogant!

She doesn't lecture in class. All we do is take quizzes "for correctness".Most of the questions have more than one right answer and she says you get it wrong because you didn't read. She is unwilling to help you outside of class and she doesn't teach. She doesn't understand why the average for her tests are a D or lower. Drop it as soon as possible

I am telling you just don't take her class or you'll regret it.

Can't understand anything that she spits out all class which is extremely annoying and frustrating. Yells all class and does not have any room for mistakes. All you do is answer questions every class. If you show up even thirty seconds late on a pop quiz day you might as well leave because you won't be able to get a quiz.

Tough to get an A, Easy B. Class is just answering multiple choice questions on your computer the whole time and can be done from home. TA was by far most helpful in teaching material but Prof Cervato told her TA to NOT hold anymore exam review sessions and those were the only thing that taught me anything. Find another prof. or another course.

Way too much work for a 100 level course. All the assignments don't make sense and never have anything to do with the exams. I have no idea what I am doing 95% of the time and neither do any of my group members.

Way too much work for a 100 level class. Don't take it as an elective. The material is interesting for the most part but the class takes up way too much time for what it's worth. Dr. Cervato is good one on one but can often talk down to students and be hard disrespectful to students. Definitely knowledgeable in content which is a plus.

This professor was the worst. You get an online textbook that she requires you to read a chapter a day, then take pre/post-lecture assignments on it that basically determine your grade. If you dont do those then you wont do well in the class. Her lectures are pointless and you learn nothing, attendance is mandatory otherwise it affects your grade

Dr. Cervato is extremely knowledgable in her field but she is very rude and mean. She does not respect her students and she is not a caring or accommodating professor at all.

All of the class is reading. That's all you do. Most of your learning is done in a textbook. In lectures, you have to move around to collaborate which is annoying in a lecture hall. She's also impossible to understand. You must attend lectures as you are quizzed for participation and correctness in every single class. Don't recommend it.

She's smart, but very rude. Does not make any accommodations, even if said accommodations are required by school policy. 0/10 do not recommend. Beyond her just being rude, she also has at least two homework assignments and a reading for every lecture (6+ assignments per week). Does not seem to care about students at all.

There is so much to say, and all the other ratings I have read about her are accurate. She does not work with students at all, is disrespectful, very hard to understand (not her fault she has an accent), so much homework you can't understand a topic because you are scrambling to finish assignments (homework can take up to over an hour). never again

As far as accommodations go, she's one of the least accommodating professors I've had. She is very knowledgeable and willing to answer content questions during class. However, I wish she would take more time to understand accommodations, how to implement them, and why some students have different needs than others.

She is very unwilling to be accommodating to students. Personally very rude and harsh. Gives very poor and uninteresting lectures. Grueling to complete the class.

You will NOT pass if you don't show up. Tests are also NOTHING like the study guide. Also get ready to read so so much, and assignments (up to three a week) take about 40 min each. This professor is not very friendly and is extremely difficult to work with. I took this course thinking it was an easy natural science credit, I was really tricked.

Do not take this class with her if you just want an easy physical science credit. There are usually around 6-8 homework assignments per week and they are extremely time consuming. She is also extremely hard to understand and rude at times. The tests are also dumb, you have to take them and then retake them again with a partner.

Cinzia Cervato is one of the most uncaring, and unkind professors I have had the displeasure of encountering. She is astute in her knowledge however she cannot convey that knowledge in an understandable or digestible manner. She is extremely unwilling to work with students who need extra help or assistance. Genuinely, worst professor I've ever had.
