Reviews of professor Vanessa Greenwood

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Unfortunately she was the only one teaching it. shes not helpful at all, she never ever responds to emails, want to talk to her after class? too bad join office hours she says. if u submit something 3 secs late, too bad "not my problem"... in class she mentioned how she doesnt mind if no one asks questions bc she gets paid regardless. AVOID HER

If you're just looking to fill a gen-ed, this probably isn't the class to take. She is very passionate, I found her lectures really engaging. Shows a ton of videos in class, 1-2 quizzes every class and you NEED TO DO THE READING!! I learned a ton, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Also very little leeway with attendance.

The lectures are pretty boring and there is a quiz to start every class on a lockdown browser. There is little leeway for absences. If you miss class, you get an automatic 0 on that week's quiz. She drops the lowest quiz score at the end of the semester which is cool, but if you miss a second class, you're screwed. The quizzes are not cake walk.

I took Dr. Greenwood twice, and both times I found her class to be challenging. Not that this is a bad thing -- not every class is going to be a cakewalk. She is a strict grader but lays everything out pretty clearly. As long as you remain aware of deadlines and meet the requirements for each assignment, you're set.

I cant even begin to explain how confusing she is. nothing in her class is clear, she spends all class reviewing the answers to the quiz, literally talking about nonsense. never going over what will actually be graded in the future. Literally, she hurts my brain

A great professor who's passionate about the subject. She said that she feels like she has the prettiest syllabus we'll see in college, and she was right. She makes her expectations for the class clear. We had quizzes on the readings, but she would curve quizzes if questions were unfair. Prepares you well for final. Read the text, and you'll be ok.

Do not take her classes. She barely gives anyone a 100 on anything. weekly quizzes, sometimes twice a week on readings that don't have to do with anything she's teaching. She gives terrible advice and won't answer any questions unless you show up to her office hours.

This class was pretty tough to get through. Prof Greenwood is a really hard grader, and the feedback she gives for the group projects can be confusing. There are weekly quizzes for the chapters in the text book, and the questions are super specific. If you try your best you wont fail the course, but it is frustrating.
