Reviews of professor Kimberly Purifoy

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The worst professor I have ever had, do not take her. I was in the hospital for 2 days and was not able to come to class when we were doing a presentation, I asked her if I could do it when I came back or even send a video of me doing it in the hospital, and she said no and gave me a 0 when it was a legitimate excuse.

Definitely worst professor I have had so far! Purifoy is an extremely tough grader and not lax at all on due dates. The worst part was the curriculum, the whole semester we focused on one topic to write multiple essays and assignments on. It was extremely repetitive and did not allow for any room to be creative. Would not recommend to anyone.

I don't understand where Professor Purifoy's bad ratings are coming from. She was readily available outside of class time and was very understanding. She can be a tough grader but her rubrics are clear to the requirement. She is extremely nice, caring, and makes in class lectures hilarious! I would absolutely recommend Professor Purifoy.

Professor Purifoy is a nice person overall, but when it comes to teaching she is not the professor you want. She takes weeks to months to grade although she claims it will only take her 2 weeks. Assignments from early weeks were graded with criteria we learned weeks later dramatically taking off 15+ points. Gives terrible feedback.

Expect to write a LOT of papers and discussions. She as a person seems nice but isn't clear on what she actually wants you to do. A textbook is required. VERY VERY tough grader. Doesn't give feedback on how to improve what you did, only tells you what was wrong. New assignments/papers every week. If you can TAKE SOMEONE ELSE.

Students expected to know the first few quizzes were open book without being informed, then after being informed of this it was changed to closed book. Little to zero actual essay feedback given. Random assignment given to review her friends' article where our "praise" of it was video recorded and applause was required. Save yourself the trouble.
