Reviews of professor Moriah McSharry McGrath

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took USP301 in Fall 2021; it was evident she was juggling a lot. One class was handled really poorly (passive-aggressive towards confused students). She maximized being in-person with lots of small group things but it felt chaotic. The CONTENT  invaluable!! Glad I took it for the content. Hope she's doing better now!

This was her first quarter back to teaching in person, and it was definitely noticeable. Was pretty disorganized with her teaching style and would direct us to the online Q&A discussion if we had questions on assignments. Was also pretty passive aggressive with us when the class was confused about a topic. Prepare to do extra credit and go to class

Assignment instructions/grading criteria at times very confusing. Organization of the course made it even more so. Perhaps the worst due dates I have ever had for a class (Tues at 9am, really?). Very tough grader. Received feedback on assignments that my work was "outstanding" and "great," which somehow translated to a C. Prof. was patronizing.

The final is the class is ridiculous. 4 "short" essays approximately 400 - 700 words each question. So lets do the math that's 1600 - 2800 words but should only take you 2 hours to complete. What a joke!

I don't know why she is ranked poorly. I looked in this website before taking the class and feared for my life. But after taking her 301 class, she is a solid 4.5/5.0 professor. Clear grading criteria, super organized, really caring, and will work with each and every individual. The class got me genuinely interested in community development.

I didn't do so well in her class for my own reasons, not necessarily because of her. I wasn't a fan of her style though, and I felt like I was in high school again with her class, as it's very participation, group work-based, on top of moderate readings and discussion posts. Most people like her and her class but as an introvert, it wasn't for me.

Disorganized but very nice professor. Gave me leeway when I was struggling. Not a fan of her teaching style, it felt very chaotic and had a lot of seemingly unnecessary assignments. Would not take again

She is the worst, most disorganized Professor that I've ever had.
