Irene Pasquetto INST466 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 10/31/2024	Professor Pasquetto is a very nice and knowledgeable professor. Her class is very interesting. In every class, we are assigned readings that we then talk about in class. The readings can be lengthy, but you can skim most of them if you don't have time to read. There is a decent amount of group work and at least two major group projects. The workload is very chill, and this is a class I hardly worry about. If you're interested in current societal issues (e.g., racism, gender issues, AI) and their intersection with technology, I highly recommend you take this class with Dr. Pasquetto.
M Sauter INST466 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/08/2024	Love them, they are so funny and have such engaging conversations with the class. The entire class was one big conversation but you were learning the whole time. I wish they taught all my classes. The class had a decent amount of writing but I got A's on all of them and I am not the best writer. I would certainly recommend this class, they genuinely care about what they are teaching and you can just tell how smart they are. I could listen to them every day.
Jesse Klein INST466 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/31/2024	Very down to earth professor that runs her class through conversation rather than lecture and does it really well. She's very in touch with topics and current events. Workload was pretty small, with there being a couple weekly readings and then a group project at the end. Take her if you can!
Jesse Klein INST466 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/20/2023	She is genuinely a cool person and I really enjoyed her class for it being a discussion based one. Every class was like a conversation (rather than a boring lecture) about how technologies interact with society, but it was fun and interesting! If you participate the better your experience will be, as the discussions are engaging when you pay attention, and rather than saying correct answers it’s about asking questions and stating opinions. There are weekly writing assignments, but they’re pretty simple and straightforward. Recommend!
Travis Wagner INST466 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/11/2023	Professor Wagner overall was a great professor and made sure everyone was learning in the class. The class consist of weekly readings, book reports, group project, and other assignments. Overall this class was not hard it was very simple and laid back would definitely recommend to others.
Chad Doran INST466 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 09/11/2022	Recently took this course over the summer and currently taking another one of his courses in the fall. Great professor with fast and efficient communication. Weekly discussions, one final project, and small reports here and there. 100% recommend taking any course he offers.

Philip Piety INST466 Expecting a B- Anonymous 03/07/2022	Had piety for 335 and 466, terrible experience that comes with constant nagging and personal criticism from him. Will waste your time and give you busy work assignments.
Jason Aston INST466 Expecting an A- Anonymous 11/15/2021	Great professor, passionate about his teaching, and always reasonable with expectations. Highly reccomended.
Galina Madjaroff INST466 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/03/2021	This class is very forward and straight to the point, and simply an easy A+. You typically have one blog post every other week and then you're mostly getting your points for the class by participating in discussions in class. We talk about the various aspects of technology, culture, and society. Dr. G is a great professor, she wants you to do your best and she is always there for help.
Sydney Triola INST466 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 10/26/2020	Absolutely garbage. Worst professor I have had at this University, hands down. At one point, she gave our paper a 42% because she didn't 'like our idea' even though she gave us a good grade on the rough draft. Complete psycho. Only thing that saved me was spending hours each week on extra credit assignments.
Sydney Triola INST466 Expecting a B Anonymous 02/27/2020	Terrible. One of the worst professors I have ever had in my life. She pushes her agenda on the students and hates when people disagree with her. She corrects students on a daily basis even when she is wrong. She shouldn't be teaching until she learns how to not be biased as hell and push political narratives on all her students. She doesn't deserve a job here. HORRIBLE.
Sydney Triola INST466 Expecting a B Anonymous 01/30/2020	This professor pushes a far-left, social justice agenda and is generally biased to people who may disagree or remain as a "centrist". The professor pushes leftist agenda and constantly speaks about oppression of colored people and women and how technology has harshly affected them. The class is generally easy, but it shows lots of bias in the context of the teachings in the class. Biased news articles are always used as reference points, etc.
Sydney Triola INST466 Expecting a B Anonymous 01/30/2020	Professor carries a far-left social justice political bias, which can be scary. The class is generally easy, but the course is constantly about being oppressed as a person of color and how women are treated the worst. This class is generally easy, but a lot of the research you will deal with will result in backlash due it not fitting her “bias”.
Daniel Greene INST466 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 09/26/2019	Extremely close minded - don't take this course if you want to think freely. Extremely hard and frequent readings, tries to come off as a cool person - but is extremely mean, and not considerate at all.
