BENELLI C A
Cindy is really nice and caring. Her lectures are fun.
She is great
Cindy's ECON9 class is disorganized, but the material is fairly easy. Rely on the textbook and unstuck study for study help, as her lectures and exams don't always align. Not the most helpful professor, but a passable class overall.
Professor Benelli is a great professor. Her teaching style may seem a bit unorthodox, but she really cares about her students that show initiative. Showing up to lecture isn't mandatory, but its HIGHLY recommended! Most exam questions are hinted at during lecture, giving the students who show up an advantage. Thanks Cindy!
She's an awesome person and very relaxed and understanding. I see why other people say she is unorganized, but it will never inflict upon your grade. The class is so chill and kind of interesting. Very relaxed class. ESPECIALLY for an econ class.
DO NOT TAKE ECON9 WITH HER!!! SHE IS SO DISORGANIZED AND TESTS ARE SO DIFFERENT FROM PRACTICE PROBLEMS AND TEXTBOOK MATERIAL. NOTHING IN HER SYLLABUS MAKES SENSE DONT TAKE HER
The prof is pretty chill but I don't think I can ever take another class with them again. When the reviews were claiming that they're very unorganized, I honestly thought it couldn't be that bad. But it is that bad!! Our first exam wasn't hard, but the questions/topics were inconsistent with what they claimed would come up on the exam.
This class was unbelievably frustrating. While relatively easy, the tests were never what she said they would be, she was always more than 15 minutes late and never took any responsibility. I would not say do not take it if you need to but the class was a mess and it was incredibly frustrating.
The class is very easy. The workload is light, no external reading, and the tests are very short and easy. There are also extra credit opportunities and the ability to take the final as a replacement test grade. As a teacher she is okay but is very disorganized.
This class was difficult for no reason. Cancellation of lectures and office hours, sometimes with zero warning. The lectures were simple enough, but no access to the slides afterwards for studying. Midterms with one question each, not reflective at all of the course material. Terrible teacher who takes an easy class and makes it frustrating.
She is professional and easy to work with.
Honestly, the stress of this class is not worth it. It's hard to put into words how much of a mess this class was. No clear indication what would be covered on exams, completely random due date & grading schemes, grades assigned based on her mood, etc. I had no idea what my final grade would be until it was on GOLD. Would not recommend.
