We knew more than she did!!!!
No Comments
its was an HOnors class.. so i guess she figured she does not need to explain anything.. ur own one day and u are lost on ur own.... which was no good. but she is fun...but would not take her again.:I
Very nice and fun teacher. She is a very diciplined professor and that's what she expects from her students as well. but if you do ur work, you will get a good grade. on the negative side she can be a little stubborn and closed-minded.
Not good at all
The WORST professor in the school- she does not know her stuff, cares nothing for the students and is constantly insulting everyone- I have taken 3 psych classes and loved all but hers- STAY AWAY!!!
You must be failin this class. Maria is really helpful and is really treats her class good.
She was a good professor in my opinion, maybe because I was passing her course.
good professor, keeps it real with students and makes the class interesting. Not the best grader though
THE WORST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS VERY MEAN AND SHE THINKS SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING. WORST EVERRRRRRRRRR
She is mean spirited and a ****!!!! Worst professor I had in school- she gave me an A and I still could not stand her. Learned nothing!!!!
Yuck Yuck Yuck- made school a really bad experience- bitter lady
Liked the course but hated the teacher. She was very inappropiate.
Good Teacher. Kept us entertains while teaching. Honestly the test were very, simple question if you just skimmed throught the chapters.
Nice professor, she teaches very well. I like her.
She is GREAT professor, very interesting lecture. Easy to get A for her class if you do all the assignments on time and take quizes. Like Her. :)
she is very helpful and specific with what she want from the students... overall she is the best
Shes awesome ! i def love being in her class, just make sure you do ALL the assignments & and all the quizzes and do well on the exams and youll do fine. DEF pay attention to her power point slides if she has them still, and DEF read as much as possible ! im taking her again in the fall for child development ! CANT WAIT !
VERY helpful teacher. 10 online quizzes, drops 2. 3 in class exams, drops 1. Very thorough in explaining and keeps you awake! High recommendation to all that are interested in psychology
Very Easy going and cool professor. Took her class during the summer and it was really interesting and fun. Has 4 exams, drops one lowest grade(if you score good on first 3 - you don't even have take the 4th one).
I would highly recommend her! Love the way she makes it easier to teach and understand. Had fun activities in class and shes funny. She really does care about how her students are doing in her class.
She is really an awesome teacher. Just do your work and trust me you will be fine. Her exams are not difficult becasuse she gives you a review sheet that practically has all the answer! Dont get scared away from her, shes a fiery italian and quite entertaining
Extremely easy going and funny. She knows what she is talking about and makes it easy to understand. Grade was based on exams only and she drops the lowest one.
great!!!
An overall great teacher, she is sarcastic and knows her stuff. i will tell everyone who needs this class to take her. her testS are 40 to 50 questions but they are all easy and you get a better chance to a higher grade. sometimes repeats the same question but in different words.THE BEST READ THE BOOK IS HELPFUL!!!!
Knowledgeable, funny, witty, cool. She's great. I enjoyed her class. Take her.
the best professor she know what she's talking about take her. She's very very good
great professor! Her exams and online quizzes are very easy and quick if you study hard and she makes Psychology fun. You may have to work a little harder for her assignments, though.
Very sexy teaching and lady himself
She is a very easy teacher and very relaxed. Just gives 4 exams and takes the best 3, no papers, no quizzes. Teaches off of powerpoints and her tests come from that so no need for the book. Her tests are very simple if you study. She is very nice and one of the best professors out there. Make sure you get her for child psych!!
good teacher
SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFFESSORS CITY TECH WILL EVER HAVE ......THE ONLY PROF. ASSIDE FROM THE MATH PROFFESSORS DAT ACTUALLY TEACH
I LOOOOOVE HER SO MUCH BEST TEACHER EVER A++ I RECOMMENDED HER TO ANYONE:)
easiest teacher ever. all her work comes from powerpoint so no need to go buy the book. she gives stdy guides with all the questions that will show up on the test. takes best 3 testx out of 4. gives online quizzes. no papers. shes very funny. also tries to give extra credit when possible. i got an A
THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE HAD SO FAR. I really learned alot and she makes psychology fun! She gives review sheets almost exactly like the test. and NO PAPERS DUE :) Awesome teacher, take her !!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE HAD SO FAR. I really learned a lot and she makes psychology fun! She gives review sheets almost exactly like the test. If you study she is very very easy.. ;))
One of the best teachers in NYCCT.
very good prof. clear and helpful. quizes every week but the power point are available on blackboard. attendance/lateness is critical... don't really need the book. got B+
She's really nice. My class was partially online and she it was so easy. Quizzes and assignments are sooo easy. Tests are EXACTLY like the review sheet & she's funny. She makes class interesting.
She is the best. Shes hilarious, gives a quiz every week but they are on the notes and very easy. Her assignments are easy. She gives a review before the test. She makes psych fun i enjoyed it
Took this professor for child psychology, and it was a hybrid online class so she really didn't care about attendance. As long as you do her assignments you will pass every exam, got an a and hardly came to class when it happened. Enjoy her because she is hilarious!
Amazing prof! Her class was always amazing and a breeze to pass. The amount of help she gave to students to get better grades were jaw dropping awesome. Listen to her and do your assignments! The easiest A ever. Her study guides are the exam question.. She is very knowledgable and funny! Loved her class! There should be more of her around!
Prof.Pagano is great! Her intro class is interesting and engaging. She's smart, funny, and very supportive and respectful of her students. She's def the best professor I've had at City Tech!
Great prof!! She explains well, clearly, basically in a way that you would have to be sleeping for you not to understand. She tells you EXACTLY what might be on the test and gives the review questions at least a week away. I'd take her for any class she's teaching. Funny too. Just amazing. TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE Subject.
very funny lady.. makes everything fun to learn.. quizzes are fair and you take them online ...she gives you a study guide for the tests like a week before and it has like everything you need to know .. very cool class filled with interesting discussions. got an a in this class..its easy just study every now and then!
Love Her!! she's funny and explains everything perfectly. exams are open book and online (at home). she gives 3 major test in class which are easy due to the fact that the study guides are exactly what is n the test. Very calm and nice. I recommend her :]
i was nervous since it was my first semester in college and taking psy! was scared it was going to be hard! but this professor is the greatest made the class fun! easy! I just study and youll deff get an A! I got a B because I got low on one test (I didn't study) but if I did would deff gotten an A on that class!
Great professor!!
Makes child psychology so fun, you will learn and be entertained at the same time. Awesome Professor! Read the chapters and complete your assignments. Easy A
all you have to do is read the chapters, read the slides, and do your assignments. Easy A!
A great Prof. Learned so much. the assignments were fun. She makes the class interesting and has a good sense of humor.
She made sure her students understood a topic. But since class was only once a week, she rushed thru most topics. She had videos that went along with the presentations that came from tb shows like the big bang theory. Her class was interesting and not boring. Would take again
LOVE HER! I had her for my first semester in college during the fall. Thursdays 2:30-5. Great class. She has a sense of humor that keeps you interested and makes real life connections. Online quizzes your able to take them 3 times, drop two low grades. 4 Exams(including final) drop the lowest. 1 group assignment. Will be taking her next semester!
Great prof. Just do all assignment n u will pass
She's amazing not a day you will be bored in her class she is clear . do all the work she assigns keep up with the reading & you'll be just fine .need more professors like her
great class, Outstanding CUNY Blackboard useage, it's all there, assignments, weekly quizzes, grades, study guides, powerpoints, and helpful videos. Fun class, never boring and you come out learning alot. She gives extra credit if you complete your assignments. Studying a must but worth it.
Very laid back during summer session. Willing to explain concepts still unfamiliar with . online quizzes and readings help with exams . Honestly need more profs like her and really enjoyed this class
Shes sarcastic but in a good way that makes you think. Her test were super easy and she tells you what to study. I took her Hybrid class and was helpful even online. She knows her stuff.
Simply amazing, do your homework and pay attention and you'll learn a lot, never boring and naturally funny. Best use of Blackboard I have ever seen, everything was there, homework, quizzes, textbook revisions , power points , you name it, plus videos and articles just for additional reading. I will be taking a class with her again for sure
Amazing!FUN! 3 exams, and 12 quizzes (OPEN QUIZZES) She is sarcastic, but in an educational way. Yes,she teaches from the powerpoint in depth and the best is her usage of Blackboard. You will find everything, Grades, quizzes, review sheets(which are exactly like the exams), videos, and assignments! Will definitely take her again!
she is a good teacher. She gives 4 exams and 11 open quizzes and at the end she drops two. Only one group project. And qives study guides for all the exams
She's a great professor amazing take her if you have to.
Had Professor Pagano for SBS2000; she teaches from powerpoint. One group semester-round project. Gives out study guides for exams. Very laid back
Professor Pagano is the best psychology professor in city tech! I realize her rating may not be the highest but she is the best psychology professor! I took nalven and parnes in the past and they were two of the best psychology professors in the school. HOWEVER, even though their ratings where higher I still believe pagano is still the best !!!!
Amazing teacher, do the assignments and you'll be fine. never boring, funny, everything you need on Blackboard PLUS. Study Guides for exams and quizzes. Will take again for sure.!
Best class i took in city tech! she gives you your grades right away on blackboard. Gives online quizzes three attempts each. 3 exams plus the final, one omitted and a group project the two hour class went by so fast
Professor Pagano is an easy A for those willing to put in the bare minimum. I found that she didn't demand any respect for herself and she came down to the level of the students- not something I admired. Her class was very focused on the biological aspects of psychology as well. She is a sweet woman, a clear grader, and an easy A.
Professor Pagano is not what you expect, the point is, if she likes you then surely you would pass you but if she dislikes you, she would give you a grade that will not satisfy all the effort you put in her class.
She's super sweet. If you need something, just send her a quick email, unlike most professors this lady responds to student emails. She very friendly and easy to approach. If you work hard, trust me she notices and you will be awarded for you work. One thing to keep in mind, If you don't like working in groups then she isn't the professor for you.
Amazing! Really funny! Drops the lowest grade. Gives online quizzes with 3 chances. If she really likes the class, she'll give everyone 100 on any exam/quiz/assignment that you wish. Does give a lot of online work that has to be done in a group, but don't worry, if someone does not pull their weight she wont penalize you for it. 10 out of 10!
Amazing professor! Lectures are to the point and leaves plenty of time to work on group project. Always available for help and wants to see her students succeed. Everything you need is posted and available on blackboard. Great test reviews and very fair grader. Wish I could take more classes with her. I highly recommend taking this professor.
Great professor, clear grading criteria, and give you an excel sheet which you can fill to see what you will get, online blackboard homework, need to study for the test and finish the project on time . Does not accept late work at all, but is a great choice if you want to learn and have fun.
This is the 2nd time I took her. Intro & Child Psych. 10-11 online quizzes. 4 in class exams. No need to buy textbook just study from the power point slides. Class assignments are usually extra credits. She drops the 2 lowest quiz grades and one lowest exam. So fortunate of being one of her students in my last semester at City Tech.
Students get into groups from the first class. The professor gives quizzes each week and 3 exams throughout the semester. Students are required to take IRB certification exam, its a part of the final grade. In the end, students have to present their work to their peers and three profs. The group that presents the best receives the highest grade.
Great Professor. She gives about 11 online quizzes which you can take a max of 3 times. She provides review sheets for the exams which is accurate with what is on the exam. She drops low grades from each. The online group assignments are easy but annoying. She's willing to help you if you ask for it. Definitely recommend taking her.
Great professor! lots of work but its doable. Class is half online- half in class, 10 assignments, 11 online quizzes and she gives extra credit through out the semester, 4 exams if you have a really high grade she will exempt you from the 4th test, adds extra credit to each exam. Drops 1 assignment and 1 exam. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU'RE LAZY! Best Prof
Great Professor, Generous on Grading, Drop the lowest Quiz. Note that you need to be on the top of her syllabus for the online class.
Online class. Helpful and responsive. Easy A if you do the work properly.
Shes a funny and good proffesor
Took her class online during the summer and her grading criteria is very clear. Would definitely take her again!
Her class is half in person and half online. She gives you around 10 assignments to do, some could be individual and some are with your group. She cares about her students and the subject she's teaching. Very passionate and hilarious as well, as long as you study her study guides, you're set to pass!
Professor Pagano is one of a kind. When I had her she made me laugh throughout the whole lecture. They were some days it was boring its understandable but she gives you greattttt feedback she explains it a way you can understand it. I recommend everyone takes her class
Pagano is extremely sweet. Very hard to fail her class. I took her hybrid class. There are about 10 assignments, 10 quizzes, and 4 exams. She gives an opportunity to be exempt from the final. Class does not show up everyday if its hybrid. Her exams are challenging but not bad if you study hard.
Passing with an A is possible. But her assignments are TIME CONSUMING! Do not take this with Nursing courses; her assignments will eat into your time. Your Blackboard will be filled with her comments regarding your drafts. Your better off taking a 7am class with another professor than taking her class. TIME CONSUMING HOMEWORK.
This professor is so hard to please! Summer course- 1 quiz, 2 exams, 12 assignments. A few re-do's are allowed. No matter what you do to try to correct your mistake, she still nitpicks every single thing. So far I have many good grades but my patience is running thin. MANY ANNOUNCEMENTS all day long. Her favorite comment is "NEEDS PROOFREADING!"
This professor was bad! She is rude and has a comment about everything you post. She barley gives you a chance to correct your work.
she makes me lose sleep and focus on assignments that dont make any sense. she is very inconsiderate and doesn't care if you miss an assignment she will just give you a 0.
She makes you work hard for it. She gives back to back assignments that are confusing and extremely time-consuming. Her feedbacks aren't clear and don't help at all. 2 (very hard) tests and 12 assignments, some have parts, and some are partner works. Only good thing is that she gives 1 extra credit and 1 make-up hw. Don't recommend if u want A.
Hello for future students taking psychology 2301 online for spring semester or fall . I dont recommend you taking this class. She makes you do writing assignment back to back . Yea she lets you submit for feedback, but the feedback is just unhelpful. It says stuff such as proof read . She says she not an English teacher , but checks grammar .
Straight forward. Dont take this class for online . She puts writing assignment back to back . Lets you submit for feedback, but is so unhelpful. All she says is to proof read , but when she puts final grades she put comments , which wasnt told in the first place like she expect us to read her mind . If you want an A dont take this class.
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.
She's very nice and caring. She give lots of assignments but she let you redo it if you want a better grade. Its a lot of reading too.
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.
If you want to past dont take her class. I had to procrastinate and taker her quizzes last minute because I hated her class. She dont give chances to take quizzes over and when it come to her work you gotta be specific with everything little thing.
She has nooooo sympathy if u wanna waste ur time and fail take her class if u miss a assignment it will bring her joy to fail u trust me I repeat this is a tough teacher only take this class if u can handle a hard challenge
The best professor ever!
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.
