Reviews of professor Joanne Mclean

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is great! Caring and understanding for the most part. However you must work for the grade. Has pop quizzes, You have to read a chapter from textbook every week which she goes over in class, plus 1 or 2 articles . Must write about articles. Accepts late hw. Some group work done in class. 2/3 short papers and 1 presentation. Participation is key!

Currently taking this Prof. McLean, very nice/ kind but gives a lot of HW. The way she grades assignments seems to be based on completion. If you complete HW should have an A. She has also been understanding noticed she gives time extensions and explains if you ask. It's just a hard topic I think if it was Online-Mixed Synchronous would be better.

Not specific, all over the place. Took her for SOC 314 online, her course consisted of 2 weekly DB, weekly blog/ writing assignment, and sometimes a quiz. Her midterm was fair, given 2 weeks to complete. Her grading is confusing because she grades as though she does not care and says the same comment. Overall she is not severely bad, but a pain.

This professor has great lectures. She ask you to answer with real life experiences if you can. She does in-class group assignments from time to time, gives pop up quizzes, weekly homework, and exams. I would definitely recommend taking her.

She did her best to make class engaging and not make it purely lectures. You must get the textbook in order to complete assignments. Almost everything is based on the chapters from the book and very random articles that are assigned. Overall it wasn't unbearably overwhelming. i would recommend her class.

She assigns an overwhelming amount of work in one week, but it's an easy A. She is rude and doesn't really like being asked questions. I didn't mind the assignments. For most of them you could work in groups. Every week is a DB, a summary (1-2 paragraphs), and another random assignment (e.g. a blog). Gives too much work during exam weeks.
