Reviews of professor Patrick Monnier

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
The professor was hard to understand and the exams were not based on his lectures. One of the questions on the exam had 2 multiple choice answers that were the same but inverted, yet he marked it wrong because it was the other way around, which ultimately didn't matter. The readings were pointless. Worst class I have taken @ CSU & I have a B.A.

Very inconsistent grader. No rubrics and takes points off for style choices in writing. I have gone over my work with him before turning them in to make sure I get full points. I have done this on multiple assignments and he says they look good but when I turn it in I get points marked for superficial things. Worst professor I have ever had!!!

This guy was awful to everyone in our lab, he was hyper critical, rude, passive aggressive, and generally unhelpful. He would make snide remarks to students who came a few minutes late. He once blamed me for losing data due to my computer crashing and refused to give any extensions, even when the whole class was struggling. Horrible experience.

If you have Patrick Monnier, withdraw from this course. Grading standards are unclear, the lab manuals are atrocious. Don't bother asking questions, he will talk down to you and refuse to answer. He literally told my class that "[he] thought we were smarter than this" when we all kept asking clarifying questions. Take this class with ANYONE else.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course with Dr. Monnier! I loved his lectures, and feel he has a real talent in conversationally breaking down tough concepts. As an independent student, I had no trouble understanding assignment expectations or completing assignments without assistance. Assignment type could be inconsistent, but not overly hard.

I NEVER thought I would actually write this, or something like this, on this website, ever. Despite the fact that I sometimes reference it when registering for classes. This is the absolute worst class I've ever taken in my 10 years in education. BEYOND vague prompts to essays, questions on exams have zero to do with the material. Don't take!

5 quizzes (5 points), 6 assignments (10 points), and 4 exams (40 points) for an entire semester. If you don't get full points on everything, your grade will drop fast. I'm an A student currently getting a C .Very frustrating. One assignment will have ZERO to do with any course material but on how well you can create a google quiz. Makes no sense.

This class is really dumb to begin with and shouldn't be listed as a psych course, nor should it be mandatory for psych majors to complete. It's more of an in depth anatomy class until the last few weeks. The point system is really low, the papers you need to write are extremely stupid and the guidelines are ambiguous. Professor is even worse.
