Reviews of professor Miranda Giacomin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Miranda is really bubbly and hard not to like. However, I almost had to drop this class!! There are a ridiculous amount of journal articles we are supposed to read each week (I stopped reading them after the first midterm because I couldn't keep up. And the participation activities get annoying- we did four consecutive days of working on excel.

Miranda was so great during this online course! She is caring and provides feedback if you ask. She is a tough marker but wants to see you succeed and will let you know what you need to improve on to do well.

Would highly recommend her ONLY IF IT IS IN PERSON. I had her last semester (before covid) and was amazing. Now online (covid) she has given us nothing; it is just an online-teach-yourself-from-the-textbook class YET still costs the full "in-person" amount. So disappointed bc she was soooo good in person :( Emails back very fast tho

Dr. Giacomin has a bubbly personality and is happy to assist students in their pursuit of understanding course material; however, she is clearly afraid to say no to propositions for assistance. Grading criteria were clear, but coming to class matters for note taking. Skim the textbook; highlight the main points and studies. Interesting course.

Honestly pretty good. Tests were fair and she gave really good examples and lectures that made concepts easier to understand

Seminar was in COVID times. We had weekly readings and a weekly discussion post which did require a fair amount of reading, but if you are expecting a free 400 level class you are mistaken. She gives prompt feedback, and her expectations are clear.

Dr. Giacomin was a great Psychology professor: Her lectures and exams are pretty straightforward and clear. Textbook is required, but she tells you exactly what sections of the textbook you should be studying, and she was a pretty lenient marker on the research proposal as. She does strongly encourage students to speak and participate in class.
