Reviews of professor Catherine Hechmer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
What everyone said before me is correct. Avoid that professor like a plague. She is very suggestive and does not grade according to the syllabus. You will be docked points not based off what you presented which would be correct 9/10 but based on what she FEELS you could have added on. I barely got an A in this class and I'm an A student,

Professor Hechmer is a wonderful person to guide students into Field Placement. She's organized, available to answer questions or provide support, and is very kind. I think the organizational structure of the course is evolving to adapt to online learning and she's available to help in working through the aspects that are unclear.

She does not provide proper material to prepare you for her assignments. She grades you very harshly and does not say how to fix it. Super condescending when you ask questions as if we're supposed to know this information already. When I used the book to help me, she took off points as we're "not supposed to use the book to help" AVOID THIS PROF.

Long and lengthy feedback, but it is always done in a way that points out everything that you did wrong, as opposed to teaching how it is done correctly. Extremely unclear instruction in the course. She then grades these unclear questions based on what she thinks is correct on subjective material.
