Reviews of professor Amanda Oakley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Nice lady but a terrible professor. Labs were long and were graded super hard for no reason. Tests were nearly impossible even if you studied because the questions were so arbitrary. The class was all lecture but the labs and tests had nothing to do with the lectures. I have never made a bad grade in my life and I struggled for my A+

She is very quick to give you a zero on assignments if the format isn't exactly right or if you miss a question. Her lab instructions aren't clear and she uses the lab time to lecture. I've taken level 400 class within my major that are easier than than her class. It was extremely difficult and stressful for a level 100 class.

Quite literally the worst professor I've had at UNA. I took this class because I needed it as a gen ed and there were no prof's listed when I signed up. I wish I would've been put with anyone else. She grades so hard for no reason and the labs are insane and have nothing to do with lectures. Would not recommend if you can take someone else, do it!

One of the sweetest people you will ever meet but one of the worst teachers I have ever had. She is unable to properly convey the material in a way that is helpful and does not give helpful feedback. Her tests are very hard and there is not a study guide and she doesn't post her power points online. I would not take her again for these reasons.

She is super nice and cares about GE. She is very lecture heavy and it can get quite dry sometimes. Take notes off her powerpoint and study for the exams, you'll be fine. you have to take the lab as well and it was not too dif. for us bc the graduate assistant was an EASY grader. She also really cares about us but expects you to respect her time.

I think Mrs. Oakley is a very sweet lady and will work with you on some things, but she takes this potentially interesting course and goes way too far in depth with it in my opinion. She does not post any of her slides online and the two exams are 50+ questions all FITB with references to tiny things from class. Labs can be tough but not terrible.
