Past student reviews · Tracy Puccinelli
Tracy Puccinelli’s lectures were frequently described as boring or unentertaining, with some students finding them a waste of time. The course involved group project labs with a real client, though one student noted the class felt disorganized with unclear final project rubric expectations. Attendance requirements were contradictory in student reports, with one stating it was not mandatory while another claimed it was taken via TopHat.
