Professor Piazza is very helpful! The first day of class I thought I was going to go crazy because she was too organized, but after the first week or so i grew to like her. She's a great teacher and will answer any question you have. She's very down to earth too. She's an overall great teacher! TAKE HER!!!
She is such an awesome professor. Really sweet and very very helpful. If you are confused with anything, she is more than willing to help you. At first she seems way strict, but within a week or so you will see that she is not. You really learn a lot of things in her class. I recommend her for anyone who is taking Read 142!
Brilliant woman who is there with the sole focus to help you.
She is AWESOME!!! She is super nice, very helpful, makes the class fun. Ask her for help and she will help you. She sometimes talks about stuff related to the textbook that is also related to us and she makes it not boaring. If you need to take a reading class make sure you take her. AWESOME!!!
First day I met this teacher I knew I took the right class. I love a strict teacher, but a total sweet heart. She is so much fun and hilarious, I love her stories. Books are mandatory, study vocab and don't expect an easy grade if you don't do the work. I'm taking her again for Read 142. Ask a question and you will def get help.
Must do work on time! She is very strict about writing in the third person, MLA format. Very helpful, and will work with you to answer any and all questions. She has a dark humor, and likes wit.
Professor Piazza is awesome!!! She is so helpful when you need it and she teaches in a way so that you don't fall asleep. Make sure to do the work on time and pay attention. Everything you do is not busy work but pertains to the tests. I totally recommend her!
I would definitely recommend Mrs. Piazza. She's an Awsome intructor. I was taught so much by her. Class is never boring, she's entertaining and funny. She's passionate about her profession and wants all of her students to succeed.
I love her she is so passionate about teaching that you cannot help but be passtionate about learnig.She takes the time to help you when you dont understand something.She is the epitome of what every Professor should be.She is a rare gem.She is the best teacher i've come across,so far....
love prof. piazza she is the coolest reading teacher ever!!!! easy to approach when u need help or have a question and is very funny i would recommend taking her class just do ur homework and do well on vocab quizzes and u will pass i am going to take her again for another reading class for sure
The class wasn't bad. She is very awake at 7:30 though. The vocab was difficult to want to know, but i would take her class again if i had to. She's recommended.
Great teacher. I do believe that my reading comprehension went up. She cares about her students. Just do not take advantate of her. She is a great teacher. Also, her intern for the class can up with some very innovative ideas which were a lot of fun.
Great teacher! Shes hilarious and really cool to talk to. She cares about her students and thinks of you as a person. Vocab final just study and youll be fine. 1 debate project really awesome. lab work thats not hard at all just takes time. need a book cause you work from the book. actually teaches. shes a must take. great person not just teacher.
Awesome teacher. Easy to talk too, does not talk down to her students. Very eager to help you on any of the assignments. Debate project is fun and easy to do. Vocab final is not hard, just study and know how to use words in a sentence. You have to work for an A. Do all assignments and labs and youll be fine. Highly recommend taking her.
Great teacher. She will explain everything on the homework and answer any and all questions. She is very thorough and the class is challenging in a good way.
As previously stated, she is awesome. Very helpful, definitely challenging in a good way, it may seem like a lot of work but once you do it, it really isn't that much or that bad. If you need an english or reading class, take her!!!
Awesome teacher. Others are right, she gives a lot of work but once it's all done, you realize it was easy. Very clear instructions, great class discussions. Not exactly the easiest class but if you do all the work, you should pass.
Best professor I've had so far
One of the best teachers I've had the chance to be instructed by. The more you participate the more you learn in her class. She is very awake at 7:30 and her wit is right up there with her. She's young and vibrant and not set in her ways like other professors who have been teaching since the dawn of time. She's very Liberal in her thinking.
Took her for reading 56. Stay on top of your homework and it is almost an easy A. Entertaining. She worked hard to eliminate our textbooks, so we read 2 awesome books, worked on 2 main projects, maybe 4 tests max. TAKE HER.
AWESOME teacher! She definitely does have a way with words. Delightful to listen to. Her assignments are insightful but not too difficult and the reading material is not boring at all unlike other classes. She's funny, too. Had no problem going to this class every day. Would seriously recommend her, it can't get much better than this!
Easily one of the top professors I have had. She works hard to get you to learn, with an attitude that if you don't get it now, we'll work on it and you'll get it soon. She uses positive reinforcement, which is always nice. Grades tough but fair, but she'll help you get that top grade. On a side note, haven't had a crush on a teacher since HS =P
I was shocked to find a professor like her existed. Having not been in school for five years, and starting this semester off with a bad depression, she flipped learning around for me. She makes the uninteresting interesting. Assessments can be tough but she is so clear, intelligent, and witty. She helped change my life, ad I'm so grateful for that.
I took her class a year ago and still remember how excellent she is! I highly recommend her to everyone! She makes a great impact on people in her class. There's a lot of homework but it's very helpful.
She is AMAZING. She is very friendly, and really wants to see her students succeed. You get to read 2 books instead of buying a textbook, you have about 5 vocab exams, midterm, finals. She is a tough grader, but it's only cause she expects a lot out of her students. This is not a class you want to slack off in or miss cause you will fail. TAKE HER!
What a great teacher! She is so funny and so cool! most of her work is from the internet but still very helpful with quick emails. great teacher to recommend
AWESOME teacher. very funny and nice. All test are group test, but your answers have to be exact. like very exact and detailed. Final is based on the book reading. she can be easy if you put your part into to it. once you slack off,its over. heres a tip, keep up to date with the book and understand the terms she teaches you.
Piazza helped me open my eyes to new perspectives. AMAZING teacher, nice, smart and speaks her mind out. She's super patient and does not give up on her students. You will love her.
Incredible teacher. She does a great job of really making sure you understand the information while also making the class fun and enjoyable. Lots of group work. Not an easy A but absolutely worth taking. She really does insipire you to put in the effort and succeed. TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Mrs. Piazza has great intentions. She really wants her students to understand the material and get them thinking. Definitely not an easy A though. She assigns so much work, it's not funny. I even overheard other reading teachers talking about how she assigns SO MUCH WORK, they were even complaining. If you don't like work make her your last option.
Not an easy class at all but extremely extremely helpful. She's a fun and engaging teacher and has high expectations. If you want an easy A, then avoid definitely. But if you want to learn and really gain from a class, I recommend her. She challenges students. Tests are all essay format, a few projects and papers. Very difficult but worth it
Down-to-earth, INCREDIBLE professor. I returned to college after taking 4 years off and I truly feel like she set me up for success in my future classes. She is not an easy professor whatsoever and does assign lots of work, but she is consistent in being there to help out when you need it and is great at communicating with her students. Recommend.
There is a lot of work in this class but Prof. Piazza is AMAZING!! She is so helpful and she's there for you whenever you need her. She's also really fun, so the class is really enjoyable. I would highly recommend taking her! The was by far my favorite class!
She is the most fantastic female reading teacher ever! She encourages you to study very well for tests, quizzes, and exit exams. Instead of textbooks to work, you read 2 novels to work. If you need help, ask her. She cares about her students. She may be a tough teacher, but she is smart, helpful, and pretty. Take her class!
Very nice and clear professor. She is very friendly and open to ask questions as well as have discussions in class. She is however a tough grader on the quizzes and projects.
Great teacher. She's really nice and she grades okay on assignments. She requires weekly lad assignments that can get pretty long and the 2 group projects are really hard! I got the highest F on mine. She don't curve grades or give extra credit and YOU MUST BE IN CLASS EVERY TIME. She's a nice person, though.
Professor Piazza is a nice professor, she is willing to help her students to pass her class but be aware that this class is going to be taught at a college level pace so be ready to buy 2 books and some flash cards. This class requires a ton of effort to pass, this is not your typical reading 56 class but a fast one so be prepared!!!!!!!!!!!
If you show her that you are ready to do your best, she is there for you. Send her email when you have doubts about weekly lab assignments because every mistakes (even minimal mistakes), she will hurt your grade. For instance, European format to the date. Choose carefully your partners because 30% of the grade is on the project. Good Luck!
If you want to work hard and love homework then this is the class for you. You must be prepared and be aware of the assignments she gives you because she teaches at a fast pace. So be prepared!
Professor Piazza is a really fun teacher. She is really interactive with her students and very helpful. I really enjoyed her class. The active reading you learn and do in the class is very helpful, But sometimes tedious and not necessary. Beware the 50 min lab assignments took me sometimes 3 hours. Work hard in this class and you will pass!
She is an ok teacher. She is very rude when you do not follow her rules. VERY STRICT! She gives a lot of homework. Miss a class and you pretty much fail. Fast paced.
A lot of assignments and Lab but not super hard if u actually do them. Great Professor and love her class no super boring lectures. Had 2 group projects and mostly do group work in class. If you don't do well in groups i would not take this class . Always willing to help and feel free to ask questions. She expects them. A lot of reading done.
Great professor, very supportive. You can't ask to many questions. Class and lab work isn't hard to stay on top of, but the projects are very intense and time consuming if you want a good grade. The final is the only test she gives. Highly recommend Professor Piazza.
She does give you a good amount homework, but its enough for you to learn something. Not just homework, homework and more homework and you won't know anything. Always has a smile on her face and helps you build a good growth mindset. I would recommend her to anyone.
Great Professor will get you to want to read.
I love Piazza. She was extra understanding with some of my absences and is very clear in what she wants from you as a student. Her assessments are done in small groups with her help. THERE IS A LOT OF HOMEWORK. And if you are like me and have a hard time turning in HW you will have a tough time passing this class. Requires a lab outside of class.
Professor Piazza is amazing! She does assign a lot of homework, but it is totally manageable. Her instructions and expectations are always super clear! Gives a good amount of extra credit!
Professor Piazza is great! She does assign a lot of homework but literally wants to prepare you for college! You will need to buy flash cards ( since she does vocab tests) & 2 books. They're cheap though! Choose good partners for group projects! She is very kind, caring, & understanding! Always available! Def. will take her class again.
Loved ms. piazza. Easy to pass as long as you do the homework and study for the vocab exams. She cares about her students and takes the time to sit down and talk about grade and ways to improve. She offers extra credit and loved the book we read, about the Red Hot Chili Peppers!
Professor Piazza is one of the sweetest and most caring professors i have ever had. I am really glad that I had her as a professor and wish she taught other subjects because she is honestly the best! Listen to my evaluation of her because you really won't regret taking her. Very helpful and isn't boring at all. She makes things very interesting!
lots of reading i cried
Piazza's class is great! There are assigned reading that you receive a grade for with assessments on the reading. However, these assessments are group worked, and are easily done. There are a few essays that are pretty long, but Piazza is understanding and a reasonable grader. There is also a final that is somewhat easy.

So, I haven't received my grade yet since it's the middle of the semester but I just wanted to say how amazing professor Piazza is. Her classes includes many reading assignments (annotations) but I find them helpful so its all good. She's also super nice and understanding so that's a plus! Lastly she offers EXTRA CREDIT so I mean why not take her?
Piazza is great. I took her for ENG100. Her writing subjects are more on present topics and really dives into human sexuality and cultural conditioning. Her class is a mix of Psychology and English. Go to the writing center, it helps so much with the essays. She offers extra credit and the books are very very inexpensive.
Professor Piazza makes you enjoy the subject! In her class be prepared to read and discuss the readings in groups. She did assign one book but through out the semester she makes sure you have enough time to do everything. In her class we were assigned three essays, the essays can be a little heavy but she does give great feedback and extra credit!
Not an essay A, 3 essays with 10% extra credit offered, 1 final exam, lots of unnecessary book work and in class assessments until the Final Exam which is 30% of your grade, cool person but strict teacher, if you don't want another unnecessary exam to study for go elsewhere; final dropped my grade 10%, lots of reading and class assessments
Not lecture heavy. The hardest part about this class is that there are 3 essays due (6.5 pages min). She gives up to 10% extra credit on each essay if you visit the writing center though. There are no in-class essays, but there is a Final consisting of multiple choice and and short answer questions. Not too hard as long as you focus in class.
The usual essays, pretty lengthy but she lets you choose your own prompt. Lots of reading assignments, but its self-graded basically. Big test at the end but it's common sense. Kinda a funky, weird, but fun professor. Passive aggressive at times and doesn't tolerate lateness. Good class if you do well in English generally, no complaints really
Professor Piazza was AMAZING. Offers a lot of extra credit and if you do your work you will get a good grade. I took her over the summer so the workload was a little bit heavier but the work is very doable. You learn a lot about love. 4 essays and the final was 5 SAQ. I ended the class with a 102%. Definitely would take her class again.
Professor Piazza is honestly the best professor Ive had in college! English 100 online was not boring. We learned a whole bunch about love, sex, sexuality, and relationships! It was kinda like a human sexuality class. She offers extra credit and responds to emails very quickly. Shes very supportive and understanding. Definitely recommend her!
Professor Piazza is awesome! You'll get so much out of the class. I recommend you do not take her class along with other classes during summer classes since there are lots of homework. She cares about the success of the students and she will do the best that she can to help you get the most out of her class.
I would definitely recommend Professor Piazza for Engl 103! She is a very caring and fair professor. Professor P definitely wants you to do well in this class and offers a lot of great extra credit opportunities. If you want an A in this class be sure to put the work in as well, there will be lots of reading but everything is manageable.
I loved Professor Piazza's online course. There are no zoom meetings, but she does post some short lectures once in a while. There is a lot of active reading, but it is very interesting! She teaches on the subjects of western culture, love and polyamory. She takes the time to give feedback on many assignments and is always there to help.
Gave everyone the same feedback about our essays
Prof Piazza is one of the best professors I've had! She is very kind & understanding. She accepts most assignments late & offers extra credit. If you ask, she will provide feedback on your essays before they are due. I've never had a professor willing to do that before! I wish she taught other classes cause I would def take her again!!
Definitely take Piazza! English 100 with Piazza was a lot more than I expected - in a good way! I didn't realize how many cool things I would learn about other than writing. We read things that are modern and relatable. She teaches about cultural conditioning, relationships, and sexuality. I actually learned a lot about myself in her class!
Take Piazza! Easy A as long as you do the work. She will work with you! She accepts late work and will help you get the grade you want.
Extremely tough grader. I got an A+ in Eng 100 and worked in the Writing Center. She gave me an 'F' on my first paper. She also copied and pasted everyone in the class the same feedback on everyone's papers. She was sarcastic and unprofessional in responses to students. By the end of the semester half the class had dropped.
Professor Piazza has to be one of, if not the, best professor I have taken here at Fullerton College. She is extremely encouraging and is very accessible outside of class. Her Canvas page is very organized and serves to keep you aware of everything that is due and will be coming up in the week. There is a lot of reading in this class so be ready!
Professor Piazza is an amazing professor. I had her for a course 10 years ago, and loved her. After leaving school behind for years, I saw she was teaching this course and I knew right away I wanted to go back to school because she is so inspirational. She worked with me during a health issue, and is very clear about what she expects. A true gem.
Reach out to her!!! She cares so much about her students and gives great feedback.
Professor Piazza's class was one of the best English classes I have taken so far. The topics presented were fun to work with, the readings were diverse, a lot of help is available if you need it, and Prof P provides very encouraging and insightful feedback. This class made me a better writer. I highly recommend it and would retake it :)
I took ENG 100F during the summer and the experience was great! We talked about cultural conditioning, love, and relationships. All were very interesting topics and made it easy to write essays about! Even though it was online, she still made us feel connected. She gets back to messages quickly and hw was a good amount. Learned a lot from her!
If you are ok with her talking about her life and making it all about being feminist, polyamorist, and crushing the patriarchy. In that case, this is the professor you want for English. As long as you agree, everything should be fine. She makes her essays all on this and has you read a book about being polyamorist. Just be warned!
Prof P is the BEST! Super passionate about her job. It's obvious she cares about her students. She gives lots of feedback and extra credit and accepts late work penalty-free. Learned a lot!
Loved her class. The material is fun to work with and Prof Piazza gives you good feedback. As long as you do the work you'll pass the class just fine. The only materials used are a course pack and one book. Overall, she is very kind and caring and genuinely wants you to succeed:)
Professor Piazza is insanely kind and genuine! She does have quite strong liberal views, but if you're from a minority group (like me) you'll find that she does everything in her power to make you comfortable. She gives you a week's extension on each essay + extra credit to make up the point deduction. easy going atmosphere, very queer-inclusive!
Professor Piazza was such a sweet professor! Since she is polyamorous, we read a lot of articles on that, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Fun class overall!
Professor Piazza is extremely caring to her students and treats them with respect. She gives thorough feedback on each essay you submit and offers extra credit for each essay. The workload was not at all overwhelming and the topics we learned were engaging. Overall, I always felt welcomed in her class and would gladly take one of her courses again!
Professor Piazza was an amazing, understanding, and caring English professor. She is very kind and funny person and loves to talk to her students when she gets the chance. Her grading standards are pretty good and clear, plus after every essay you write she will meet up with every student and go over how well they did and how they could improve.
I wanted to take a beginner english class and I REGRET taking this class. She had due dates on assignments then would say they are due a different day, I don't think that was very smart on her end. I didn't want to feel like struggling to make sure the due date was correct or that my grade would go down. Plus assignments made no sense.
Professor Piazza is honestly one of my favorite professors so far (cant really rank since I am a freshman). Her work plan for her students is laid out perfectly and if you have any questions regarding anything, she is more than happy to help you. Her lectures are also very interesting and entertaining
Took her class over the summer for an accelerated course she made the content feel not so heavy. Topics were monogamy, polygamy, culture conditioning. Submit your essays to her and tutor & get feedback before turning in. Overall great teacher with lots of support for English 101 and she gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit!
Professor Piazza is an amazing professor. She is so caring. She cares about her students. Her lecture are so informative about culture conditioning and polyamory. One other thing about her class is her in bedded tutor is Jocelyne she is just amazing. I took this class in the fall of 2024 and I would take it again I. A heart beat.
I took this class in fall of 2024. Reading & annotating was easy but writing essays is harder but talking to her & tutors at the school will help. She focuses on polyamory, love, relationships, & cultural conditioning. You have to buy one book but second you can find for free. Late work & extra credit is allowed & the final is easy.
I enjoyed her class greatly, and she is an amazing teacher! As long as you read the required material (which in my opinion is incredibly interesting and insightful), you'll do great in her class. Her feedback is always incredibly helpful, and I find even today I still use the techniques she taught for when I go about my essays!
Professor Piazza is one of the best professors in FC. I took her for the summer and her reading were interesting and informative. She always had great feedback and responded to any questions. She is very caring and thoughtful. Definitely take her class.
Signed up for this class thinking it was a normal English 100 but it is entirely focused on sexuality, polyamory, LGBTQ/feminist topics, and alternative relationships. readings and discussions are only about sex and relationships, which feel completely unnecessary. I had to drop it and wish I had chosen a professor who covers more meaningful topics
In this "critical thinking class," I have only learned about the LGBT ideas being pushed on the students from day 1. I know it is relevant in today's culture, and I have no issue with that. However, in the class that I signed up for, to earn credits I need for my future, there is no need for me to be force-fed from the professor's personal life.
Prof Piazza gets us thinking about real stuff that actually matters. I was first nervous ‘cause we talk about sexuality, but it is interesting & relatable. I respect that she brings in tough topics, even w people being closed-minded these days. If you're not cool with learning about equality and different perspectives, maybe don't take her class.
Professor Piazza is a tough grader and the guidelines seem a little blurry at times but she's a great professor who's very helpful and supportive.
Way to many assignments, it's overwhelming. She is also a very very tough grader especially when it comes to essays. I've only had A's & B's in college and I am pretty sure I am going to finish her class with a C or D... do not take her class.
The information I learned in Professor Piazza's class taught me so much about humanity and made me think more. I really enjoyed her class, she's one of the best professors I have had at Fullerton College.
Toughest grader I've ever had as a professor. Her curriculum is, in it's entirety, talks about vulgar forms of sexuality, and most readings or audio lessons that were in this course used language I would only expect to hear from a group of young teenage boys, certainly not qualified teachers. If you're not "woke", don't take this class.
Professor Piazza truly believed in me and gave me more chances to submit late work than I deserved. It means the world to me how much she cares. She is one of the few professors I've had that is amazing at her job and she never gave up on me.
