Reviews of professor Erika Manczak

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I wrote a paper that was worth most of my grade. I had received A's on all of my assignments and tests up until this point in the class. When grades came out she had given me a zero because I had 'plagiarized.' I had left out a source on my paper. I went to the plagiarism board and they told her to give me my points back. She refused and I failed.

She has a lot of experience which is helpful, but it doesnt always make sense. She made a point that she doesnt believe DID exists because shes never seen it in her career and practically grades you in the same fashion. Its hard to get a decent grade with so many inconsistencies in her lectures and essay expectations

Love her so much! She's such a kind and caring person and her clinical background means that you learn psych in a way you can't really get with many other professors. The class was heavily focused on small in-class group assignments and we were always let out whenever we were done (usually an hour early).

Pop quizzes to track attendance (quizzes not for cred. though). I personally really enjoy the subject matter which Manczak covers in her AbPsych course, perhaps that's why I enjoyed it. I feel, however, the previous experience Manczak has treating real patients and the stories she shares help put things into perspective and connect concepts!
