Reviews of professor Gentiana Sadikaj

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I actually had her for PSYC 406. I found that sometimes she was hard to follow but she is open to questions in and out of class. I found the material and tests fairly easy, you can certainly do well in this course. I did not study as diligently as I should have so won't be ending up with an amazing grade- but if you put in the work its not awful.

I find that it's difficult to engage with this professor. She's relatively new and it seems like she's still adjusting to teaching. It hardly seems like she cares about the course material, her lectures are rather monotone and her feedback hasn't been very helpful. If you really want to learn the course material, I wouldn't recommend this prof.

This is mandatory for all PSYC students, and Gentiana made it hell. We had assignments due every week, quizzes biweekly, readings every week, 2 midterms and 1 final. She also was never helpful with questions about the assignments then graded them very unfairly. I worked my butt off in this class (and so did my class) and we get mediocre grades.

I had Gentiana for PSYC 321 and 311. She spaces out assignments and grading, so if you apply some critical thinking and do the assignments then you should get a grade in the A-range. I'd recommend only writing flashcards for 321 based on the textbook and not wasting your time writing endless notes. She provides great feedback if you simply ask.

So unclear with instructions! I did not attend a single class besides the intro class and exam classes and I got an A. If you read the textbook youre fine. She is not clear about grading criteria, even if you follow instructions, you can lose many points. I just dont like her teaching style of putting people into small groups to discuss.

Psyc 311 is a pretty dry class, the readings are boring and you are expected to engage in every class. Gentiana is a very nice and well meaning person, but she is unclear in her instructions most of the time, you have to ask a lot of questions for it to be clear what you need to do. The class has a lot of little assignments to keep track of.

She's a chill professor; her lectures can be a bit monotone, and her slides can sometimes get confusing. Honestly, the class isn't too difficult if you study the lecture slides and understand the concepts from the readings.

BORING! You can understand everything by reading the slides so you don't really have to attend her classes. She goes on so many tagents and talks so much that I lose track of what she was talking about. She takes FOREVER to grade. Legit took 4 weeks to get my midterm grade back. She made us do quizzes before every class on non-explained material.
