Reviews of professor Michelle McRae

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor McRae encouraged me to write clear and logical programs. She said the class if we did the assignment correctly we would receive a 'B'. If we want 'A' - we have to wow her. I remember I spent nights reading Java tutorials to upgrade my code, make it more readable and easy to understand. Her class was difficult but I learned a lot.

I regret not looking at reviews beforehand. The organization of the online material was inconsistent, sloppy, messy and the videos provided were terrible. The professor doesn't respond to emails and takes forever to grade assignments. Be prepared to find ways to understand the material better yourself.

WORST PBSC class I have taken! The professor was not present via email for the semester. She took a month after the semester ended to finalize grades, though most of her assignments were graded automatically by the computer. Her lessons were vague and she expected us to have an existing knowledge of coding, even though it was an introductory class.

Unfortunately at the beginning of the semester, the instructor I signed up to take this class with had an emergency and this professor was picked to substitute. The type who reduces your grade for "inadequate reflection" over the module. Has too much time on her hands to be so nitpicky. Avoid at all costs.

She's unresponsive, provides no feedback on assignments, she grades assignments two months after you've submitted them. I still have ungraded assignments and the semester is over. She deducts points from your discussions and written test answers even when you've answered correctly. Stay away! I will never take another course of hers again.

Took 2 classes, 1 not on purpose because they changed the prof. By far, the worst professor since starting at PBSC. SO MUCH assignments and super tough grader that takes points off for no reason. Grades are always super late, and the (barely) feedback is bizarre. Also, she barely responds to emails. Don't take her, but if you have to, good luck.

Can't use notes for test! No pretest prep. Does NOT return emails. Does not provide retakes. I feel this professor will cause me to fail my classes. I am taking two from her and the same in both. I have never been in any class like this. Extremely unprofessional and definitely not a good professor! Run from this class...
