Professor Favretto's class is really straightforward and fun to attend. She uses events to describe concepts and her lectures are very easy to follow. While she is an easy grader, I have never been so excited and motivated to attend a government class and do the work. Highly recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
A class in which the class lecture pertains to the test, who would've thought college could be so straightforward?Rate My Professors ↗
I love Professor Favretto! She definitely knows her stuff and her lectures are very engaging. Also her tests and papers are not hard, and if you attend class and go to office hours she will be more than happy to help. Overall great! I took one class with her and loved her so much I took another.Rate My Professors ↗
She is a good professor and definitely is informed on the subjects. Although her lectures were very similar to the texts, she did throw in extra information and make the information less dry. Tests are not hard as long as your are doing the readings, however the readings are somewhat long.Rate My Professors ↗
Fun lectures and Favretto obviously knows her material. Two complaints would be a lack of organization in lectures which have led to wasted time and effort and the fact that when she asks questions and doesn't quite get the answer she wanted throws her off and causes her to stumble. Overall class is good and I enjoy going.Rate My Professors ↗
