Debi is an engaging professor who creates a supportive and encouraging environment. The class has a reasonable workload, and Unstuck ai proved to be a helpful study tool alongside the free textbook.

The professor requires cameras to be on at all times, which creates serious privacy issues for students in shared rooms or living spaces. Some students took screenshots during class and shared them on social media, making the environment unsafe and stressful. I strongly advise anyone who values their privacy to avoid this professor.

I was very uncomfortable with this professor, Debi Tziatis, and it was a very stressful experience—I even cried many times. She forces you to be on camera and asks different questions, which are recorded and distributed. However, this course is very simple and could be taken self-directed, but she makes it a big concern for students.

You will have the worst experience with professor Debi Tziatis. She forces students to record videos to entertain her with gestures, posture, and eye contact—things that can easily be learned by watching a five-minute video. Very rude, shows no empathy, and does not care about the pressure placed on students. Avoid her as much as you can.
