Reviews of professor Irina Symons

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures are very monotonous. There is no clear grading criteria so it is hard to improve in tests and essays.

She was not at all specific on grading criteria, would mumble often, and graded way too hard for an intro class when most of us had never taken an ethics course in our lives. She was nice to talk to, but would often get confused in class during lectures and not give clarification on topics. Feedback was never clear and unorganized. Do not take.

I had a lot of fun in this class and learned a lot. She gives the craziest examples to explain moral principles. Just go to class and youll have no issue getting an A. No need to buy the textbook, ask her and shell give it to you.

Awesome class, awesome professor. I'll take all the classes I can with Prof Symons!

I thought it was really helpful how encouraged we were to ask questions. The best thing about the course was definitely the feedback we got on our papers before having to turn them in; that was really helpful.

I took this class for the core requirement and was so surprised with how much I learned and how interested I became in the topic. Dr. Symons does a great job explaining. She comes off as tough, but she's always ready to help and showed a lot of patience.

I loved Professor Symons. It was so much fun to study ethics with her. She is available out of class, very kind, and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities if you want to improve your grade. Just go to lecture and you wont need the textbook for an A. Pity the class is so big that makes student participation during lecture almost impossible.

I would heavily recommend going on her study abroad course it was amazing. Outside of that her classes are fun as long as you do the work and participate. Do be prepared to read and participate and Irina will then appreciate your work.
