Danielle Catona SPHL620 Expecting an A admin 10/04/2023	I’ve taken SPHL610, SPHL611, and now SPHL620 with Dr. Catona, and I can’t emphasize enough how great of a professor she is. She is very attuned to student needs and open to working with students on deadlines or clarified information. Her classes alternate in person and asynchronous every other week which provides flexibility in my schedule. Her assignments are fair and targeted to learning objectives. I talked to her this semester, and she remembered a project I did in her last class which shocked me because that class was big, and I didn’t expect her to remember such details. If you are her student, be ready to have a caring, knowledgeable, and focused professor who wants to see you succeed.
Danielle Catona SPHL610 Expecting an A admin 09/06/2023	Dr. Catona is an amazing professor. She treats students as adults and understands that we have various commitments. She lets students turn in assignment late because she knows many graduate students are working full-time while going to school. She also organizes the class so that every other week is online, which is so amazing. She also doesn't feel the need to have the class be the full time period (which can be 2-3 hours, in some cases for graduate classes). In her smaller class (SPHL 611), she tries to get the class to actively engage. It's been a pleasure going to her classes and working with her.
Danielle Catona SPHL610 admin 02/13/2023	She does not teach anywhere close to a graduate level, her course is taught as if we're high schoolers learning about data for the first time. She is knowledgable and passionate but her teaching style is pretty insulting and not engaging, and it makes me question her confidence in her (graduate level) students. A waste of time for a class, everything she says is a repetition of the already basic slides.
