Reviews of professor Amelia McNamara

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Go to class, or you won't pass. Her lectures are sometimes scattered and very fast, but if you want to take notes and get out of there, she is your gal. Also, she is very willing to help you outside of class whether in office hours or not. McNamara isn't as bad as some people say she is.

She has lots of lectures and moves very fast. Everything is posted online but often lectures are confusing and incomplete. The homework rarely matches up with the content learned in class so it's difficult to gauge your understanding. Had her for 220 and she usually ends up curving and dropping stuff so grades aren't that bad but not a great prof.

This teaching of statistics was not ideal for anyone in the class. Luckily the final project is graded nicely, but actual content learned is terribly low.

Professor McNamara seems to want to be a good professor, but then does some things that directly work against this goal. Getting grades back takes around 5 weeks on any homework and for your first exam. The lectures feel disorganized and some days uninspired. Overall I felt like I learned so much less than was expected in class. Very dissatisfied.

This professor is one of the worst teachers ever who makes the subject pouring. Always late in grading homework and exams are hard. Gives questions from the book that she's unsure how to solve. Unclear in her requirement most of the time. You should be expected to be tested without graded homework that you could use to prepare for the test. Awful

Her notes were always very easy to follow and made it easy to study for exams. Would take her again if I had too.
