Comment:
Boring lectures, but you have to go. She takes attendance in all size classes, from 30 people to 200. A couple of essays and tests, and you have to read a couple of small books. overall, an easy class, but very boring.

Took this class for a group requirement, ended up being the easiest class I've taken at UD so far. Honestly, all you have to do is read the plays and go to class. It's pretty easy to figure out when she is giving pop quizzes, but if you miss one you can make it up for half credit. She is very nice and helpful, and the class is an easy A!

easy, informative class. basically you just have to read the plays and go to class (because attendance is mandatory) and you should do fine on tests and quizzes. class is discussion based, but you don't have to talk. easy class, easy grade, nice prof.

She is really nice and helpful. Just read spark notes before you take the quizzes or tests and you'll be fine. 5 quizzes, 3 tests and one paper. Must attend class!

She knows students are just taking the class to fill a group requirement and takes it into consideration. Just read the plays/sparks notes when you're supposed to and you'll be fine. 3 exams, 1 easy essay, 5 pop quizzes, and attendance make up your grade. Easy A if you do the work.

This teacher is very easy. Do the reading for the day it is assigned and you will be fine. She absolutely does give pop quizzes, but if you miss one make sure to go to one of the T.A office hours and make it up. She does what she can to make the class and the course materials easily accessible.

She's GREAT! Sweet older lady, reminds you of your grandmother. Only complaints were quizzes and lack of ability to drag myself to class may have ruined my "Easy A". Gave "Pop Quizzes" but often alerted you to them the class before. Go to class and read spark notes and you should do fine. I got a 90% on the ONE paper, wrote it the night before!

I love DelFatorre!! I took this class, Short Story, online and I liked it a lot. The stories are interesting and you just have 3 essays to write and 3 discussion posts. Pretty easy and interesting!

This class is so unbelievably easy. There's a good number of readings but honestly if you just read and go to class you will get an A. Even if you just read the spark notes you should be in good shape. You get to pick 30 out of 35 very easy questions to answer for each exam.

Very easy class. 15 points on the final grade just for showing up to every class. Do the readings for an easy A, read the sparknotes for an easy B. Just make sure you show up to class on time and you'll have a boost to your GPA in no time.

You just need to SHOW UP and DO THE READINGS - As long as you do the readings you will get an A. Mentioned in class she knows most students take it as an elective, so she doesn't require you to go crazy with it. Takes attendance. 3 tests and a paper (2 months to do it!) A few pop quizzes, but simple as long as you've read the plays. Lovely woman!

I took a lecture series with DelFattore so the class didn't really see much of her, but she was very clear about the expectations of the class and very funny and interesting when she introduced the speakers. She got a range of people to lecture, so different aspects of law were covered. I'd recommend this class even if you're not interested in law.

I took the online section and I really enjoyed this class. As long as you read or watch the plays, there's no way you'll get less than an A. Delfattore is very sweet and an incredibly fair grader. If you put forth effort, she'll recognize you for it by giving you a good grade (shocking). Overall, easy and interesting A

Comment:
Class material was extremely interesting (Psychology in Lit and Film). Even though it was a four hour summer class, DelFattore made it interesting by using different methods rather than just straight lecture. Very nice professor who is willing to work with you to the best of her ability. Also responds back to emails/phone calls pretty quick.

I took this class online-I read all the books or watched the movie and got a A-. The multiple choice tests can have tricky questions. She is very helpful and returns emails very quickly. Most of the books are interesting...not a bad class. I would take it again!
