Original student reviews · all captured dates
Completely unclear with expectations and gives very vague descriptions for all assignments including weekly projects. A significant portion of the grade is petty and unnecessary (notes from assigned readings, subjective rating on participation in class). Puts down any student that attempts to participate and offer their opinion.Rate My Professors ↗
Expectations for the course are clearly not given, the course talks about transparency in health care system and she can't even make grading expectations in her own designed course transparent. The course is also taught on the flipped learning model, however assignments and readings are done after the her lecture so students end up doing poorly.Rate My Professors ↗
Tough, but knowledgeable. Don't get on her bad side, made some of the class write an apology to someone at Epic after they showed up late to a field trip, where you had to provide your own transportationRate My Professors ↗
She doesn't memorize students' name. However, she assigned class participation points based on her "notes" about students... Not sure how that worked out for her, but it was definitely confusing for the students. Great experience also comes with ... great ego!Rate My Professors ↗
