Reviews of professor Maura Priest

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Assignments had due dates from 2021, and did not show on the calendar so vigorous search for assignments required. Sifted through tons of outdated announcements to figure out assignment criteria. A+ not offered even if you have a 100%. Overall a lazy professor that does not update her canvas page to reflect current semester making class difficult.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Heavily encourages group discussion/debate. Major selective assignment due at the end of the semester, but if you put in the work it won't be a problem. Final exam not required! I would highly recommend Professor Priest to anyone that is interested in medical ethics or just wants a new experience.

Easy class as long as you read her syllabus THOROUGHLY. Two partner projects require you to communicate with someone (not as bad as it sounds though). Make sure to look at her past announcements for instructions on assignments, and don't forget the module quizzes. Overall she is an excellent professor and offers extra credit on everything.

Really interesting class. Awesome professor! Not particularly difficult, but there are weekly discussion posts, weekly quizzes, and two partner projects as a midterm and towards the end of the semester. Absolutely recommend!

You will have a debate group project but you must have an agreeance with your assigned partner so I guess it should not be called a debate. If you are going to teach a bioethics class, do not be biased as well as spill your political stance consistently. Oh, and you will not receive your grade till the end of the semester. Do not recommend her.

Teaches with a heavy focus on debate and critical thought. She is willing to work with you as long as she sees you being engaged in the class and participating. She also encourages talking about controversial topics in a calm, professional manner. Lastly, she does a fantastic job keeping her personal views out of the class. Take her classes!

Do the readings and watch material (which is not much), finish easy quizzes and discussion boards by the end of the week and it is an easy A. Online format professor not super active but will post one sub-hour lecture each week which is pretty informative.
