I am so grateful to escape her hellish class! Her misanthropic decision to teach only pessimistic literature made her students' lives exceedingly difficult—as if a pandemic was not enough to get through. In addition, her insensitive, sometimes vulgar language and pretentious demeanor made the class unapproachable and stifled student participation. For instance, she randomly exclaimed, "I no longer enjoy coming to my job" and called the entire class "annoying" for needing extra time to answer a single question. She loved to flaunt that she went to a prestigious college, though she thought it was fine to call her fellow students "a**holes" in front of the whole class! Moreover, she offered no clear guidelines for assignments, no rubric, no metric, nothing to help you revise and edit your work. Though one of the worst parts of her teaching was her grading. She deducted points whenever "she felt it was necessary," even though they were impossible to justify because she gave no rubric. The level of mistake and amount she took off for varied widely from assignment to assignment (no, not gradually stricter grading throughout the year to help students grow). Well, Mrs. "I die" (literally what her name means in Italian), I look forward to a year with a kinder, less narcissistic teacher, and I cannot wait for every student you were unfair to to shove their successes (that they accomplished in spite of you) right in your face full of clownish make-up.

Mrs. Muoio is an insightful teacher who shares her unique analyses with the class, breaking down complex ideas in an approachable way. Although I love her focus on formal writing as a vehicle for creativity, it would enhance the class if she gave more creative writing assignments. In addition, some of the homework assignments are superficial, and she deducts points arbitrarily. If she used a more consistent, communicable grading system such as a rubric, she would certainly deserve a 5.

Mrs. Muoio's lectures are insightful; she offers nuanced analyses of whatever we are studying and challenges us to think on a deeper level. As a class, we have some enjoyable, thought-provoking discussions! Nevertheless, her unclear assignment expectations and pretentious, unapproachable demeanor make it difficult for students to gauge their writing skills accurately.

Mrs. Muoio is excellent at lecturing and facilitating class discussion. Though despite teaching thought-provoking works of literature (i.e. Othello) and offering excellent feedback, Mrs. Muoio often has difficulty justifying the grades she gives. She does not use rubrics or any consistent metric to assess our grading. Sometimes, it feels as though she is grading based on her feelings (not logical assessment) on an assignment, which is frustrating. I hope Mrs. Muoio establishes a new grading system because it would give students greater respect for her.

Although she is a kind, helpful teacher, she needs to outline her guidelines for assignments and assessments more clearly. Sometimes, she gets too frustrated with our class (even though it was her fault for not being clear about her expectations).
