Discussion posts were weekly and replies had to be 3 paragraphs long. The professor and TA were strict graders and barely gave any feedback. For a couple of the projects you had to “claim” a topic which meant sometimes you had to do research on something you didn't care about at all.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2286344","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:45:12.979860+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM5NzkwMDE2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2286344","instructor_name":"David Dwyer","course_label":"NURSING105","course_id":"NURSING/SOCWORK 105","course_uid":"course_3f8b6fdb9f07d43d7bc4b7f8","review_date":"2024-10-06 15:47:26 +0000 UTC","comment":"This class is not beginner friendly and its canvas page is a mess.

Quizzes are very manageable if you've done the necessary work. Discussion posts have higher standards, but it's usually an easy prompt and not too difficult to find an appropriate source. Projects are not too hard, but require lots of research. Highly recommend if you're looking at a medical career.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2286344","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:45:12.979860+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM2MDA4MTUy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2286344","instructor_name":"David Dwyer","course_label":"NURSING105","course_id":"NURSING/SOCWORK 105","course_uid":"course_3f8b6fdb9f07d43d7bc4b7f8","review_date":"2022-04-01 17:59:21 +0000 UTC","comment":"Dwyer is literally so boring and dry in his lectures. Easy class for the most part, except for when the TAs grade so hard for no reason. Anyways, Dwyer is simply so monotone and I could fall asleep to his voice the second I start the lecture. Take this class only if you need to. I wouldn't do it again tho.

Professor Dwyer's lectures were a bit slow at times, but always interesting. He ended every lecture by playing a different song, which made me smile.

He would take your points off for even the most trivial things. If you turn in your homework early, points off. Quizzes are all about numbers and details that you will NEVER pay attention to.
