Reviews of professor Jaclyn Lally

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Great professor with a lot of energy, and made the class engaging. The only downside was a 3-hour long lecture, which she does her best to be understanding of, but is mandatory for participation points. Homework felt redundant, like a "diary card" and 3-4 pg homework post every week, but the class is an easy 4.0 if you do the work.

I took this class as a gen ed requirement and it was good for that purpose, but I definitely wouldn't take it again. The lectures were long (three hours once a week) and the content could have fit into a one hour lecture. Professor Lally was really peppy and you can tell that she's passionate, but the class was not super exciting. Easy A.

I never give rate my professor review, but Dr Lally is the best professor I have had at UW. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to live their best life. If you are willing to take in what she is teaching and apply it to your daily life you will see real changes. I am a better and happier person after taking her educ 215/216 class

Extremely long class times but you will pass if you put in the work. Attendance is mandatory(through in-lecture posts). There are 2 in-lecture posts a class for 10 points but if you accidentally miss 1 then you won't get any points for that day even if you participated and did the first lecture post, which I think is ridiculous.

Though Dr. Lally tried to inbue her passion through lectures, the course content offered occasional insight but mostly platitudinous, if not downright generalities, and tedious to the point of soporific. And the activities she engaged with the class can be juvenile or abstract at times. In addition, weekly reflections were winding & time-consuming

I need to work to support my family, which is something this teacher doesn't understand I guess so I attended the class while driving and missed one of the posts. Because I didn't reach out quick enough (was driving, not trying to crash) I was given zero points and these teachers showed NO empathy or understanding at all! Felt like they didn't care

Professor Lally is amazing, and though it was not my favorite class, it was a good class. You truly get out what you put into it--if you do not care for the material or the class topic then I do not think you would enjoy this class.  While it is an easy class, there is a lot of homework and material to cover.

I still use the content Dr Lally taught me in my daily life and plan to use it in the future. If you really participate in the lecture and quiz section 1x a week you can get alot out of this class, it truly changed my life and the person I am today.
