My advisor at Pace (graduated 10 yrs ago); Expects students (especially math majors) to know their stuff. Very willing to help any student. Go to class, pay attention, and do the work. Is that too much to ask?

The best teacher for this course! She tries to teach us math that will be used in our everyday lives - I don't like math, but she makes the subject as enjoyable as possible - plus, most of the students are really slow, so she goes over everything several times. Also - doesn't take attendence, so you can just show up for the review and the quizes.

Nice woman, kind of a scatterbrain. Because of personal problems I had to drop the class and she assured me it was not too late to withdraw, unfortunately she was completely wrong and I failed. Retook the class w/ Prof Advani and immediately understood the material. It was like night and day. Nice woman but not for me.

She was extremely helpful and taught the class very well. She explained everything clearly and made sure everyone understood the material. She gives homework but never checks so its optional to do. I HIGHLY recommend taking her class.

In general ok teacher. can be rude w/o knowing it. goes extremely fast, so not for those who like to repeat things for more than 2 lectures. hws are killer, prob bc she teaches so fast. tests are ok. great flexibility w/ hw due dates though. will always be eating something in class, digresses easily.

She made us feel like her grading policies were ok during the beginning of the semester but in reality its just a confusion. She's rude and can get nasty when you ask for help. Her lectures are confusing and she often gets off topic and starts saying random useless things. If you're a math major, you're stuck with her for many classes, sorry.

She makes you work for your grade and does not give any handouts, but she only does this because she wants students to fully understand the material and actually learn, unlike most Pace classes. I did very bad on my first exam and she was very fair with me and gave me a chance to still pass the class as long as I showed her improvement by the final

So i took her for a few classes. She is fair I just didnt work well with her style of teaching. Shes very much about theory. She likes going over every theory and doesnt do as much examples. Thats why I think her classes were so hard for me. Kinda wish I would have gone to Pleasantville. I really tried hard in her class but I never did that well

Taiani is the type of professor that will do one problem incredibly fast and expect you to get the whole chapter. She is incredibly condescending if you admit that you dont understand the material. Her exams are difficult, please study as much as you can. I advise you to NOT take her if you struggle with math in general. Good luck.

Professor Taiani was horrible. Shes incredibly rude to students who ask a question, will yell at you and call you dumb if you dont understand what she says, and at the end of the day, doesnt know how to explain the problems well. Her tests are ridiculous and dont correlate with her practice problems in class. STEER CLEAR OF HER!!!

You can tell Taiani is very passionate about math and has been teaching a long time. However, due to her experience, she sees everything as easy and goes through problems very quickly. She looks down upon those who do not understand the material as fast as her, and will openly yell at you in class if you ask a question that seems dumb to her.

Taiani is a very anxious and rushed professor. Don't bother asking any questions because she'll belittle you for not knowing the answer and go on about how easy this is. You won't be able to keep up with the material as her teaching is useless, so you'll resort to spending numerous hours outside of class along with extra tutoring every week.

Taiani is a smart person but terrible professor. She rushes through material and expects you to know everything as soon as she writes it on board. She moves quickly in class and gets an attitude or rolls her eyes if you don't understand. Her grading policy is confusing and subjective so your grade may suffer if she doesn't like you. AVOID.
