Prof. Mannino is great. Pay attention during lecture because every word is important. Get a recorder. Then review the same topics in the TB, & you will do fine. She wants people to do well & will even review ur project b4 its due, so that you can make corrections. She is a great teacher, and a down-to-earth and lovely person.

Prof Mannino rushes through lecture and lab. She is not opened to questions and sometimes gives you the wrong information.

In terms of teaching, she's good. However you need to study everything for her tests. Recording her lectures are absolutely necessary. Her tests are difficult and she expects you to know everything.

I love Professor Mannino, she is so good at teaching 209. I am always excited to come to class because of how she teaches the class.

I failed the first two exams and got a 90 in her third and final Passing in doable but you have to study this is not an easy A Also if you are failing reach out to her she is not a monster like these other reviews and will give you advice. One thing she told me was to take ATI seriously and actually do the questions instead of googling the answers.

Professor mannino is always accessible to speak outside of class, but she is a tough grader and doesn't care to make hear opinion about you as a near outloud. I would never recommend her
