EDPSYCH 326
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Dr. Short is super sweet but she isn't a great professor. She makes things very confusing and her slides are like 70% just pictures. I went to most lectures and tried to do notes with the slides but she went kind of quick and she talks to much it's hard to get what's even important. The info to some things is very unclear and makes studying not fun

Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Dr. Short is an extremely good professor. This is a really tough class that combines several fields so it can be really difficult to navigate and the readings can be tough. However Dr. Short explains everything as clearly as she can and has her lecture slides online and will take the time to answer questions. The only bad was a 35% group project

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Dr Short is an awful professor, which sucks because the content she teaches is interesting and fun. But she makes it hell. Shes boring, cant stay on task, extremely vague grading criteria, and Im pretty sure she just made up my letter grade for the end of the semester, because idk what I got on the final paper. Attendance is mandatory. Difficult
