Reviews of professor Penny Carroll

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
thinks she knows everything and is stubborn on how correct she is. lecture time is wasted to "talk to your neighbor". What good does that do when they havent learned anything? time is spent self studying. Even if you have a good understanding of the content. the wording of tests is horrid. grading errors and stubborn responses as to why. avoid

The wording of the test's are terrible. Often there were instances where many of the multiple choice options could have been right. In class there is often 20-30 minutes per class dedicated to having the students discuss what we've 'just learned' which is nothing due to the speed she goes through the slides. I taught myself everything for the tests

Penny is a very nice person, but shes not a great professor. She doesnt really answer questions when asked and just tells students to see her after class. The exams are HORRIBLE, the wording can really mess up someone. I hope over time shell fix her exams

After maybe 10 minutes of flying through 15+ slides, she would make us do 'active learning' stuff that completely nixed any focus a student had made, then expects us to get right back into focus for 10 more minutes before starting another dumb activity. This might work for a class of 60 but definitely not a huge lecture hall. Lectures are pointless

Her exams, especially the final, were the most confusing and contradictory questions I have ever faced. I asked the TAs for clarification, but they were just as lost as everyone else. She didn't know the answers half the time and would refer to her key constantly. Really disorganized course, but she is a really nice person. Hopefully she improves.
