Reviews of professor Megan Simpson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Megan is a wonderful prof. Very knowledgeable about the social work field and makes herself accessible outside of class for questions. She's a fair grader and open to student feedback within the structuring of the class. Dedicated to ensuring students are prepared to enter the field.

Megan is an experienced child protection worker who is really passionate about social work. Megan used real life case examples from her past work and really focused on the practical side of social work. If you are thinking of taking any course by Megan make sure to attend class and ask questions. Great prof overall - make sure to study your APA!!

Megan should not be a teacher. She's there to teach you about childism but actually use childism on her students. Taking her class was difficult, and extremely demanding. Classes were useless, did not have to attend at all. The assignments were not well explained and were very vague. If only you could read her mind!

(cont) Does not actually teach, makes you feel small and embarrassed when you ask a question, is not approachable.... We literally had to email the department for SOWK3001 because she gave us a textbook, gives us assignments, and that's it. Optional discussion groups are a waste of time and not productive. Bad communication and won't respond -L

Megan just is not there to teach. It's clear that she's not interested in building relationships with students at all, and it's a big problem. Taking her class was difficult, but thankfully my TA was awesome so I still did well. Not pleased with her teaching style. The assignments were vague and I had no idea what was expected.

Megan is a very love her or hate her prof. I'm a huge fan of her teaching style and marking feedback. She's especially great with helping with assignments if you meet outside of class to discuss them. I can't comment on course content as the school determines it to ensure uniformity among SOWK classes

Honestly I have very mixed feelings about her. She came across as condescending at times. I think the course itself was useful but after a few classes it got repetitive and lacked variety, everything I learned this sem could've been condensed to a single class. Was very accommodating for assignment extensions + extra credit though which was a plus.

Learned nothing. Explanations were more confusing than original statements.

We got the chance to practice what we would actually do and say to a client/family. Very practical class. Show up, ask for help and call her if you have questions. Megan can come off as intimidating but it's because she is passionate and wants students at the 4th year level to be engaged. Put in the effort, study and don't be afraid to call her.
