Reviews of professor Corinne Donovan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Avoid this professor at all costs! I had for for an ONLINE class. Her quizzes were insanely hard, her unnecessary work too much of my time. Her directions were ALWAYS UNCLEAR, and when you emailed her to ask about them, she was nothing but nasty and made rude comments back. She graded work so harshly no matter the amount of effort you gave.

Professor Donovan is a sweet person to interact with, although this was her first semester the course was definitely heavy. Too many homeworks, textbook readings, no review for tests, and overall too much material to manage. If youre taking more then 5 classes I would NOT recommend her.

I had her for Psy 280 and she's really nice. However, the exams were tough and we had to memorize all the powerpoints before the exam. Personally, I felt like this class should've been a lot more easier than it was. I struggled on the exam and on the final paper. I hated some of the group works because we ended up having to do it outside of class.

Professor is honestly awful. She is very nice and will help if asked, but dont expect helpful lectures, and especially dont miss one. Gives an unbearable amount of work (some homework questions have up to 20 parts to them), doesnt seem to give much consideration to students other classes, and tests are cumulative. So much to say. Beware lol.

Very nice and willing to help. A lot of the course work consists of the online homework quizzes from the textbook. Mostly one due per week. If you miss one, she will extend the deadline. 1 paper, 1 canvas discussion, a few extra homework assignments on top of the weekly online quizzes. Studying for exams can be very difficult and the exams are hard

she is actually a very nice professor and is very approachable, but her work is way too much for a level 100 class. She won't really ever give you a guideline on what will be on the exam which leads to you having to study over 100 slides of notes just for one exam.

Expect a lot of weekly assignments. Quizzes given weekly and tests cumulative on top of other assignments expected. Overwhelming loads of work

Get ready to read and teach yourself. You are basically your own professor for this course. She sets the standards so high that even the most brilliant can't reach it, save yourself before you lose yourself. Psychology is all about staying calm but it does the exact opposite.

Took the powerpoint slides that the textbook gave to her and just read off of them during class. I could have taken the class online. LOTS OF MATERIAL TO COVER.
