Reviews of professor Lauren Richmond

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do NOT take this class. She is one of the WORST professors teaching at SBU. She assigns 9 assignments containing 5 essay-style questions along with a film critique. With regards to the 9 assignments containing 5 essay-style questions, she does not specify what is and what is not required.

She's the worst, avoid at all cost for your own sake

Definitely do not recommend. Not only is she hard to reach outside of class, her exam materials do not reflect what was covered during the lectures. Worst part of it all is that she is not willing to adjust her errors or cater to the students' needs, as she refuses to elaborate on most of her course materials as well as unjustly punish her students

Wow from the looks of things going back even a few years in the reviews, the same negative themes keep popping up. Not thorough enough in lectures, confusing/contradicting directions, yet excessively harsh grader. I tried to find more tags to put to describe her class aside from tough grader but words like "caring" and "inspirational" won't cut it.

Such an unorganized professor! Tough grader. Wish all the info would have been as concisely presented as in my other classes. Sends mixed messages regarding how she wants her assignments done. DONT TAKE. If you do, do so at your own risk.

She is constantly threatening to report students to the academic judiciary for unexpected reasons. she assigns lengthy article readings you have to answer questions about every week and she'll take off points even if your answers are correct. she also reported a bunch of students for plagiarizing their article HW which was absurd

Horrible professor. She assigns more work than I'm doing for my MSW which shouldn't be. Graduate level courses should be more difficult. However, her class was the worst class I ever took between getting my Bachelors in Psychology and now doing my Master's in Social Work. My only suggestion is to avoid taking her class. She should be terminated.

College is stressful as it is, if you do not want to add an excruciating amount, AVOID. Caused me an immense amount of unnecessary suffering. Highly inconsiderate and unfair. A psych prof should care about their students' well-being. She DOES NOT. Stony Brook, please do better. Never had a prof this horrible in my entire college experience.
