If you trynna lose sleep over each assignment and have mental breakdown, feel free to take her! This professor is the worst professor Ive had. You basically gotta read material teach yourself then do the assignment she does not care about the effort you put. And she definitely does not care about you !!

I am currently taking this class for the fall but most likely going to have to retake it. This class is honestly so hard than I expected. Don't take this if you going to have a lot of free time because her assignments will stress you out and make you want to cry. She doesn't specify much on the feedbacks.

For context, this course was taken asynchronously during the Covid pandemic. The course is simple as it is all modules but she does a poor job of teaching. She is pretty accessible but offers no guidance. The main knock on her is that she grades very strictly and doesn't mind taking off points for little things.

This professor definitely makes you work for your grade, creates assignments that are EXTREMELY time consuming & you have to teach yourself. Would not recommend taking with nursing courses! She is accessible outside of class but doesn't provide any concrete, specific feedback on assignments. Very picky grader & comments on everything.

Prof. Pagano was amazing! Her lectures were the best and funny. Never dull with interesting group social experiments. If you do what your supposed to do you will pass and not even have to take the final. her Blackboard is self explanatory. If you don't do well it's on you. Read the text, do the home work, take the quizzes and get your A.

I definitely do not recommend this professor. Especially if you need an understanding professor during this tough time of Covid and chaos world. I worked and attended college and tried to do my best in this class. She was the first professor who i came across that was rude. She has no sympathy for students. Take a different professor

If you want to pass your child physiology class pls stay away from this professor ,and I repeat stay away. She lacks empathy especially during this COVID period, she fails you if you dont state exactly whats in her head .she is a very tough grader and she doesnt look at effort at all. Worst professor have ever had pls stay away.

Choosing to skip class will jeopardize your grade due to the assignments being a major part of your grade. Even though she is a tough grader, when you completed the assignment she will read it through and let you know of the changes she wants to see in order for you to receive a good grade. Quizzes are given every week & 2 chances per quiz.

Professor Pagano is very nice! I took her in an online class. She is very clear about her grading, and gives an assignment a week. You will have to watch the video, and answer the question she posts. She is a strict grader- pays very close attention to every detail in your answer. I promise if you show up, and do the work, you will do great! :)

Took this online and would 100% take it again. Professor Pagano is clear, responsive, and fair. Weekly assignments were content-heavy but manageable. She offers makeups, drops the lowest scores, and may boost grades for consistent effort. She truly wants students to succeed and gives them all the tools to do so.
