Made the material for this class relatively easy to understand. I can understand how she might not be the best teacher for large Math 12X classes but for the smaller Math 308 class she was great. Exams are fair. She doesn't assign too much homework. I recommend taking her class if you are looking into either MATH 307 or 308.

Very good math teacher, she gets the point to and although some people might not like her is because they dont study, she gives out exam reviews with specfic problems to try and most of them come on the exam so if you study her exam review sheets youll do very well

Dr. Pezzoli was a great prof! Yes sometimes her lectures were boring, but she always made sure we were prepared for her tests. Just make sure you go to lecture because she often does example problems that end up being on the test.

Very sweet lady who tries extra hard to make math fun. If you sit towards the front you can hear all of her quirky asides. hw is the same for all sections but her tests tend to be easier than the other teachers'. She spends most of class time doing example problems and does them pretty slowly to ensure everyone understands. try and get a good TA.

Great teacher. I wanted to drop after the first class because we started on chapter 10 and her accent bugged me. But the second day of class and on I loved her. Helps a ton with tests, just pay attention in lecture! I asked her a question almost every day after lecture and she was always very helpful and extremely nice. I had a terrible TA got

She's the nicest professor ever!! I didn't do very well in Math 124, but I'm doing VERY well in Math 125. She's crystal clear, and super willing to help. Her midterms are easy to ace, I definitely recommend her. But don't forget- YOU MUST STUDY! It's easy to do well- as long as you study!!!

She is one of the best math professors I have had. She seems to really care that her students learn the material, and tries to identify the concepts most students have problems with. Absolutely recommend her.

Office hours are invaluable! She will help you with ALL of the homework if you need it. Lecture was very related to the textbook. The book was fantastic, for a math book, and pretty easy to follow (Read it!). Most math courses have terrible books, but this one was good and useful. Lots of practice midterms/finals with solutions. NotManyCurveBalls.

Best math teacher I've ever had! She is wonderful at explaining concepts, and can explain things multiple ways. Super nice, easy to approach for help. Her accent is fine, though her handwriting is kind of weird. But as long as you are listening it's easy to know what it says. Her tests are not crazy hard, and she does tons of example problems.

Even though I basically taught myself out of the book, I really enjoyed Pezzoli's teaching style.

Probably the easiest math prof in UW. Midterms look almost exactly like practice midterms. Bad thing is that she weighs hw pretty heavily so you really have to find answers on Facebook groups. I think she's pretty nice. Handwriting is kind of weird... a & e, i & l look no different.

Very easy professor, but effective. Her midterms are a breeze, but somehow she still manages to prepare you well for the final exam (written by hard and easy professors alike). Definitely recommend her!

I really enjoyed having Dr. Pezzoli! She is very knowledgeable and teaches the concepts in a very sound manner. I think her midterms weren't too bad. Unfortunately, I don't think they prepared us for the final very well. Nevertheless, I really liked her and recommend taking a class with her!

Great teacher! She made us awesome notes sheets that showed techniques for evaluating all of the convoluted integrals that were in the class. She admitted that she makes mistakes and invited us to correct her, something I haven't found too often in a college professor. Midterms were easy, and I think they prepared us well for the final.

Pezzoli is a very good teacher for this course. She understands that students have other homework and extended deadlines. She told us in class that the homework assignments were more difficult than the midterms. It was true. Only things in lectures were ON the midterms. And she even discussed final topics before the test. Great professor.

She is crystal clear in lectures. Examples are helpful for understanding concepts. Exams are much similar to homework problems. Take time to do homework, attend sections and be careful about the final, then you will be fine.

Good: She's pretty good at explaining all the concepts and doing problems. Her tests are very easy and straightforward, meaning you can usually finish them in less than half the time she gives you. Bad: She makes a moderate number of calculation mistakes, which is kind of bad for a matrix algebra class.

She is a good math professor, but her accent and writing can be confusing and cause issues. Her final was more difficult than the midterms. her homework was easier and she gave less of it than other math professors I've heard She is so helpful though, definitely go to her office hours or the math study center!!

I didn't know what to expect with this class, but I really enjoyed it thanks to the professor and textbook. She was extremely helpful and the textbook was very useful in this class. I highly recommend this professor!

Very helpful. Not only has office hours but virtual office hours as well. And she still has time to reply to emails any time.

Dr. Pezzoli's class was incredibly fair and well-structured. Her lectures always prepared you perfectly for the exams; every midterm and final review went over problems that were extremely similar to what you would expect on the tests. Explanations of concepts were very clear and patient. Very helpful in office hours.

Pezzoli is the sweetest professor ever. She's very intelligent in mathematics and also basically tells you exactly what type of problems will be on the exam. To get a good grade, do your homework because it's the best practice and just review her Midterm Review Lecture and your golden. Love her so much. Would take again.

Pezzoli is a great professor! She tells you what kind of problems will be on the midterm and finals, so going and reviewing her midtermfinal review problems are a must. Also go to class and section and always do the homework. She's very good at explaining and has four hours of office hours a week. Sometimes its hard to understand her accent.

Test averages hovered around 50-60% so that's pretty low, but if you're not so great at math like me, then it's actually a blessing since the curve is very generous. HW difficulty varied from week to week, but required a few hours of your time. Pezzoli's notes are very unclear though, so don't rely on those instead of going to lecturequiz section.

Honestly, I wish I could have her for all of my math classes. Midterms and final went great because she would go over the specific kinds of problems that would be on the midterms and finals immediately before we took them and gave tons of practice problems that were very similar to what were actually on the exams.

Lectures can be confusing sometimes, but she's always happy and able to answer any questions, though her answers may not always be clear. Tests will make you think a bit further than what class material has taught, but she's very generous with grading. Her TAs were also very helpful this year.

She is helpful, and she curve the exam. As long as you putting effort to this course, your PGA would be fine.

Lectures can be confusing sometimes because of her accent, but she's always able and willing to answer any questions. The homework will take a lot of your time, but it will really help when exam time comes and surprises you. Tests will require you to know more than the class material, but she's very generous with grading.

She is a pretty good professor. I am really poor at math, but she teaches with patience so that I can easily understand her. Homework is definitely helpful, sometimes is heavy, but you will finish it, so no worries. Overall, she is a good professor I think.

Go to class and read the textbook or you will struggle. Also, be aware that Dr. Pezzoli has an Italian accent, so if accents are hard for you to understand she may not be the professor for you. Personally, I found her easy to understand.

Once you get used to her accent her lectures are very easy to follow. Very friendly professor who is helpful outside of class. Exams are easy if you pay attention - all of her practice questions are almost identical to what you are given on exams and in review sessions, questions similar to what will be on the exam are always covered.

Dr. Pezzoli is a great professor. She is very accessible outside class and actually cares a lot about your learning but she has a strong accent, so it might be little hard to follow her lecture. Her tests are comparatively easier than other professors. Make sure to start preparing for the final early because it is a lot harder than the midterms.

Professor Pezzoli is very sweet! It took me a little while to adjust to her teaching style, but once I got used to it I learned a lot. In class she's really good about explaining things in depth, and if you don't understand still she's very helpful in office hours.

Her accent was a little strong and handwriting was bad at first but I got use to it after a while. Her examples from class are similar to the hw we do or her midterms. Overall she isn't that bad. She isn't as good as Loveless but she does a decent job at teaching and prepares you well for the tests.

She has an accent and writes her a's as e's but she's very adorable.

Ms Pezzoli is a great professor! Her lecture was clear and sensible. Especially I love that she teaches kind of slowly, so that it's easy to catch up and understand. Review sessions before midterms are really useful. I would love to take her class again.

Calc 124 was an insane amount of work and the material was really challenging, but Pezzoli is a great teacher. She teaches the material with a logical linearity and doesn't skip small steps, so I could always follow step by step. The amount of homework was insane, but I learned a ton and it was entirely due to her clear teaching. Very grateful.

Honestly the content was hard cause this is a weed-out class, but Pezzoli wasn't a bad teacher. However, she is a bit dry and her lectures are super long and boring. I didn't go to the week before the midterms and final and I still manage to get a 3.8 in the class. Also, look at EVERY past exam of hers because her style of questions never change.

She has an accent and her handwriting is kind of sloppy. Her lectures are straightforward and explain everything that you need to understand for the tests. The tests are not too hard and are directly based off the lecture and homework materials.

Absolutely loved her! Straightforward lectures and very helpful. Helped students prepare for the test as well. Would love to take her again!

Pezzoli may be really boring in class because all she does is give a lecture, but if you go to her office hours, she's very helpful and caring. Overall, she's a quiet, kind, old lady who doesn't have unrealistic expectations of students. I straight up told her I didn't know how to do the webassign and she coached me through it.

She explaines things clearly. The difficulty of tests is fair. If you put effort, then it is not hard to get good grades. Moreover, she is a really nice person.

Elena was a really go professor and the course continue isn't that difficult. There is no curve so everyone in the class ended up doing pretty well. Get good homework grades and you'll be fine.

I found her lectures okay for the most part. I honestly learned more from the youtube resources she suggested. I skipped 90% of lectures and her midterms were super easy compared to the practice ones, and were pretty basic in terms of content. She's a very nice professor and easy to talk to at her office hours. The curve is high though so beware!

A great professor, and willing to discuss your question with you.

I thought the class was hard cause HW was graded harshly but she is very nice and I got an A at the end

Professor Pezolli is very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains all concepts. She's easily accessible outside of class and answers questions on Piazza pretty quick. Ive taken precal a couple times and failed miserably, but I truly feel as if I understand what I am doing. I attribute my success to her teaching abilities, no doubt.

Professor Pezolli is a really good professor. She drops your lowest three quiz and homework scores. She also does office hours twice a week. The quizzes are very similar to a webassign homework problems. There is no final. This class is very easy as long as you do the homework on time and study for quizzes.

Since there aren't any midterms/ finals the class is graded on weekly quizzes and homework. She allows for 3 quiz and hw drops too. I personally didn't go to lectures and was fine. She also tells you hw problems to study for the weekly quizzes and they're always similar to what she tells you. Not a difficult class if you put some work in.

Professor Pezzoli is amazing! Lectures were recorded and material was easy to follow. Her office hours are extremely helpful and she will answer your questions diligently. Watch the lectures, go to quiz section, and take time do complete the homework correctly and you will do well. There is a lot of homework but she drops your lowest scores.

Lots of homework, but allows for multiple quizzes/homeworks to be dropped. Really solid at teaching the material and lessons that are easy to follow. Even if you're bad at math, you can do well with some effort.

Much of this class was scaled down because of COVID and Professor Pezzoli was generous by allowing us to drop some of our lowest quizzes and assignments. She explains things very well and is open to any questions. It is important to not procrastinate on the homework though, because that can really stress you out and give you a bad grade.

I took this class online, and I was really grateful to have had Prof Pezzoli. Her lectures are prerecorded and very helpful. The tests are super easy and quick. There are lots of opportunities to ask questions (Piazza, office hours, etc).

She's a great professor and was super kind on grading even though it felt like I did awful on the lecture quizzes. The lecture quizzes for MATH 300 were difficult, and the homework took FOREVER. Be ready to spend all day, 3-8+ hours, for each weekly homework.

Goes fast during lectures but always records explanations and answers questions outside of class

She’s so nice and her quizzes and exams are A LOT EASIER than any other professor for the same class!!

Took a class similar to this a few years ago. She was difficult to understand at times and methods here are different from my old college. When in doubt, ask yourself if you've used the quadratic equation yet. She's nice but tough for anyone who hasn't taken math in a while. However, if you plan to continue math, this is considered an easy class.

Great professor, truly caring about students. Always patiently answers my questions. Lecture notes are decent, covering important aspects of proofs of theorems.

Professor Pezzoli shows a passion for teaching math. She provides recordings, worksheets, and extra credit- all things that allow you to excel in her class. The lectures can be a little fast but that's what the recordings are for. The homework can differ from the lecture problems but it covers the same concepts- going to the math center will help.

Prof. Pezzoli was pretty good overall. She explains things clearly in class and answers emails fairly quickly. She does midterm review before each exam and allows a note sheet. The exams are similar to the problems she reviews in class so pay attention. Lectures are recorded and she offers videos to help with homework. (also she has extra credit!)

She really makes an effort to teach the subject well. Gives good explanations and provides videos outside of class that make reviewing, homework, or catching up easy. The class is hard to study for without going to lecture because of the methods used, so attendance matters, but she's a great professor to have for this class.

Lectures were good but slow. She wasn't great at answering questions though. Tests never felt too hard and the practice material was really relevant. A lot of the other math 208 professors aren't very good so if you can switch to her section, do it.

The classroom she taught in was not one where lectures can be recorded, but she actually went out of her way to record the lectures herself using her iPad, which is something I have never heard of any other profs doing. She is kind when you get help from her, she does a lot of example problems, and her tests are not very difficult.

Pezzoli is great. Tough on the outside but really wants her students to succeed, and very approachable in that manor. Took her my first quarter as a freshman and was honestly pretty easy. Aced every midterm (she will basically tell you what's on it the day before), and final wasn't that bad. Great TA too.

Lecture can be slow sometimes but I don't mind it lol. Overall very great professor and goes super lengthy into reasoning which I don't mind again. Very responsive on Piazza. Lecture notes are also very easy to digest. Reasonable difficulty on midterm. Had better experience in with math 318 than math 208. because of the better resources.

Professor Pezzoli was a great professor for 208! I'd definitely recommend taking her class if you can. She's really nice and approachable in office hours and gives good explanations in lecture. You can tell she wants her students to succeed!

Pezzoli was very lenient with grading and her tests were of reasonable difficulty. Her lectures sometimes move slowly, but they are recorded and she is always comprehensive.

Great, knowledgeable, flexible professor. Quite a bit of work for a 3-cred class, but WebAssign HW are straightforward and conceptual HW gives a deep understanding of the content. Opportunity for extra credit with discussion posts (in the end e.c. could raise your grade by 0.2). Weird critique, but she's often prone to typos. Overall def recommend

I took math 318 in WI 2023. The class was not easy. Pezzoli went through the contents really fast, and her notes are confusing sometimes. Homework was hard and took a lot of time. Discussion sessions help a lot with both contacts and homework. Her TA Maddie was great. Exams were predictable and easy.

Easy grade and there are a lot of extra credits, so as long as you put in a little effort, you can get high grade. If you read all the homework answers and notes, you will basically know all the knowledge points required for the exam questions. Definitely recommending this professor, she is really nice and caring.

I really liked Professor Pezzoli! Web assign homework is really hard sometimes but if you go to her office hours she explains really well and she cares a lot about your learning. Do a ton of practice midterms and practice finals for the exams.

She interacted with students in and out of class. The lectures were pre-uploaded so you could review before class and follow along. She tried to make the examples interesting and has plenty of office hours available. If you can, I definitely recommend going to them because she explains the topics much better individually. Overall, very nice.

She was pretty nice! Warning: her A's and E's look the same, and her handwriting isn't the best. She has an Italian accent, but overall, I could understand her for the most part. DO THE WEBASSIGNS!! They probably helped me the most. She has really great online resources and made like so many videos explaining the math.

very hard working and thoughtful!

Dr. Pezzoli did an amazing job at teaching this course! At the start of the quarter, she shared with us that the last time she taught this class was before the pandemic, but she managed to lead this class effectively. Exams were fair and not too complex, and she is very friendly! The content was still fast paced and hard to grasp at first.

she's a good professor who's really responsive on the class discussion and willing to help. also her exams are not too hard compared to other profs in the exam archive which is good for the midterms but makes the common final look very hard in contrast.

Her writing isn't the best and her teaching style can be confusing. However, she is very accommodating and truly wants to see her students pass. She was super flexible with grading: changed grade weights, curved the class, etc. My recommendation is to supplement her lectures with youtube videos in order to understand the topics more clearly.

her teaching isnt the best but she is very flexible with grading and generous with giving extra credit, she definitely wants her student to pass and encourages them to attend her office hours. she also sent a list of topics to study for the final, posted extra resources, and gave a full page on how to pass finals

Elena is a great mathematician with impressive intuition, but she forgets sometimes that us students don't have that yet. She is so nice and a great teacher and available if you take advantage. These bad reviews are unfair and her accent is charming. Some ppl clearly don't have much experience with foreigners. I recommend the class, after precalc.

She is kind and truly wants her students to succeed. Always willing to help outside of class, open to feedback, and very knowledgeable. Midterms were fair and much easier than the final (the final was tough). 124 is challenging, study A LOT. Use the 124 archive + supplement some lectures with YouTube videos. Lots of extra credit too!

Her teaching during lectures is extremely fast and assumes you already have a good understanding of the material. Thankfully, she gives plenty of materials for extra study / outside review. Overall, a tough class that was manageable thanks to her efficient and well-organized teaching style.

Elena had good lectures. One problem I had with the class was how test heavy it is. The two midterms are relativley easy but are a large portion of your grade, and the final WILL kill you (super difficult). Overall decent prof who will explain math better than highschool teachers, but either way its a very hard course. My TA was a useless nonce btw

Everything very clear during lecture (accent/handwriting no problem), she stops to clarify questions as needed, posts lecture notes, and even posts hw hints for tricky problems. There were 2-3 hours of hw/week and midterms reflected content well. Attendance not mandatory, but is tracked via PollEverywhere and added as extra credit to final grade!

W Professor W TA group (W Nelson) they are the goat. I got 8 points back from midterm regrading. W ping pong survey which gave me 4 extra points from midterms. Excellent curve at the end also.

She was very nice and gave us extra credit opportunities to help boost our grades, which was definitely helpful since the majority of our grade was determined by the midterms and final. However, it is important to have a strong foundation in calc 1 (math 124) concepts before taking this class!

Gave us many extra credit opportunities at the end of the quarter, which helped a lot since 80% of the grade is based on midterms and finals. The class is very fast paced, with each lecture introducing new concepts and techniques without much in class practice. However the math department releases a lot of old tests which are helpful before an exam

Prof seemed to care when reached out to out-of-class. She even popped our my quiz section one time and I asked her a question while my TA was helping another group. She was willing to help. No complaints; class is rigorous, but as expected from the calc series I would say. All in all, appreciated her for 124. Personally liked her teaching style.
