Reviews of professor Amy Finn

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you're really interested in this field and are set on taking this course, do yourself a massive favour and take it with any other prof. Your future self and your cgpa will thank you.

Professor Finn's Psy196 class is easily one of the best classes that I have taken at UofT. It did require a lot of participation and reading, which lead to a lot of interesting and productive discussions between students. Would definitely recommend this class!!!

She's nice to me personally (probably because I worked extremely hard), and well-intended. But the lecture's often distracted by random questions that are not relevant, and the assessments are also random, both midterm and final exams had questions expecting you to memorise researchers' names and specific details from videos played during lecture,

Participation could either be in person or online but she gave an automatic 70% to every participation - which really brought my grade down. Most unfair thing I have every experienced.
Last 2 lectures taught by guest lecturer - so much better 
Paper instructions extremely vague 
Professor terrible at teaching 
Take this course with any other prof

The midterm was way too specific, unlike the other psychology courses I have taken, with a shockingly low class average. Her lectures and slides are kind of boring. To get a full participation mark, you are forced to speak in class, which has also never been the case in other classes that I've taken, which offers an alternative for shyer students.

The midterm was not reflective of the expectations she enlisted in class and lecture slides. She did not provide us with practice of what form of short answers were expected. I did not expect to know the number or age of participants etc. This midterm really lowered my self-esteem and I cry almost everyday now because of how bad it went.

This class still haunts me, I absolutely hate that I had to have this low grade on my transcript. Her tests were so difficult, and our course average was hilariously so much lower than the first semester's (taught, of course, by another prof). Sad about this, since it's one of the most interesting topics in psychology.

Very well respected and knowledgeable prof. No clue why she has such low reviews. She is an incredible prof is filled with great knowledge. One of my favorite first year classes and honestly a must take for all incoming first years.
