Reviews of professor Nora Boyd

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Boyd was very nice however she presented the material in a difficult way. You had to know exactly what you were asking her; otherwise, her answers were vague. She was willing to meet during office hours but expected a lot from a class that was supposed to be new to the subject. Her tests were hard and there was a lot of textbook work.

Dr. Nora is always able to give good conversations with students during office hours. However, assignments were graded out of two, so you would get one point if you did it incorrectly. They would not give feedback or grades on the weelky assignments until after exams, you I really had no idea whether I knew the concepts correctly for the exam.

Dr. Boyd seems to have no experience teaching. The course does not have a lesson plan and while I thought I was taking philosophy it felt more like environmental science. Dr. Boyd does simply not teach. Instead, she uses class time to express her intense concern for climate change and pushes her own personal beliefs onto her students.

This class was centered around climate change, Class often included rereading long repetitive articles we had to read and write multiple responses to before each class, along with papers which are un-passable unless you present and ideology similar to hers. If you oppose it? Good luck getting above a D. Worst class Ive taken at Siena BY FAR.
