Janice Chiaradonna was removed as the professor of one of my sociology classes back in 2018 for being racist toward international students. The head of her department removed her from the class after countless complaints against her. I don't know why she is still allowed to work at NEU. Avoid her at all costs.SOC2160 2023-02-24 15:44:32 +0000 UTC
She is judgmental and lacks understanding about the course content as well as communication skills needed to teach. Such a waste of time. But you'll probably have to take a course with her anyway. So just be warned.HUSV3540 2011-04-14 14:40:26 +0000 UTC
Ok, yes, I agree, Professor Chiaradonna can be a bit condescending, not what you would typically expect from a counselor. HOWEVER, her personality is just no BS. Her class was a lot of work (quizzes, presentation, papers, video) BUT you learn so much about counseling. Definitely one of my favorite courses. Give her a chance.HSVU300 2010-12-27 13:12:28 +0000 UTC
this is miss attitude right here.... expectation was sometimes unreasonable but her test and presentation were not that hard. Expected something different teaching style of counseling in human services. she is very knit picky!!!HSUV2300 2010-05-03 18:32:13 +0000 UTC
Teaches at a grad level when its an undergrad class for working adults, very unfocused teaching methods this particular class was dealing w/heavy emotional subject should not be 6 weeks and too much work crammed in time frame. Unreasonable expectations.SOC2160 2010-01-09 22:38:35 +0000 UTC
