Reviews of professor Lisa Feinics

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The weekly Zoom meetings were optional, but they do count as extra credit (beware of Zoom break rooms though). Read, do the assignments, and post your discussion posts and you should be fine.

She "tests by the textbook" so any material there is fair game. However, during class time generally the things you do is either watch a movie or do a group activity, the work you do is nothing compared to the actual quizzes. She admitted both her classes averaged about 66% in quizzes. She did give 100 extra credit points through online quizzes.

Gives extra credit in the form of online quizzes. Attendance is pretty much mandatory and is mostly composed of lectures, sometimes movies, sometimes group activities. No way of knowing what we're doing that day, you just show up and find out. No homework, but the class activities make up a good portion of your grade. Tests are 100% from the book.

Lisa is an amazing person. Super knowledgeable, I mean, shes a neuroscientist. Super amazing. She isnt so clear on expectations and will require reminders throughout the course so you dont get poorly graded on something she changed the date on. Shes understanding and a great communicator though!

Mrs. Feinics seemed disorganized. She would write down one psych term over the entire board and then spell it wrong almost every day. My notes (everything on the board) for the entire term fit on one page. She wasn't always clear what activity was for credit or not. The online quizzes were extra credit and solidified my A. Easy in A in my opinion.

Lisa is a good instructor, she is sometimes a little unclear about what she wants from us, but she is an easy marker and gives extra credit. Discussion heavy at times.

Isn't clear on grading. Discussions posts say they are due Sat, but if you read the fine print on the rubric you only get full points if you turn it on Thurs. Never makes this clear unless you specifically look. So make sure you read the rubric, otherwise you might not do well. Won't accept any late work. Not really engaged in the class.

I enjoyed Lisa as a professor. While her classes were remote, I found her content thorough and engaging. Good opportunities for applied learning via discussions/ quizzes. She gave thorough feedback for the work done. To be frank, if you put in effort, the grades followed. D2L isn't foolproof y'all.. if info isn't clear, ask & she'll fix or clarify.
