Reviews of professor Susan Bowley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Weekly discussion are required for hw help or you lose points, even on the weeks with no hw. You lose participation points if you don't join the zoom like 15 minutes early. Multiple occasions where students ask if we can do an example in class and she says to just watch videos. Hasn't graded any of our homeworks and the exam is in like a week.

Expects students to arrive 15 min before class and docks participation points if late. Doesnt answer student questions instead, redirects them back at the questioner or just says read the book. Assigns tons of HW and does not grade it on time. If you're familiar with SW, you'll do fine in the class. If you're new, you're basically teaching urself.

Horrible and lazy professor. Refers to the textbooks to teach the class for her. Puts in very little effort to effectively teach the class. Copies and pastes assignment descriptions for every assignment even if they don't correspond, so there is often a lack of instruction. Does not provide rubrics for any of the projects, so you just lose points.

It's a shame this class is only taught by S. Bowley. I had hoped it would be a good solidworks learning experience but the lectures were slow and basic. Bowley was passive aggressive, cocky, and constantly would take advantage of her power as professor. Maybe the most unpleasant professor I've ever had and I could write pages of how bad it was.
