Reviews of professor Miranda Giacomin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Miranda is a great professor, I had her in my winter semester for PSYC 241. She relies heavy on the textbook and you're pretty much tested on it but her lectures are amazing!! She explains the concepts in the book as if she wrote it or something. She's cool/chill and genuinely a good prof and good at her job and I respect her as a professional.

She's engaging and enthusiastic and, overall, a lovely professor. Her slides are minimalistic, so I recommend attending every lecture, where she also goes over examples not included in the provided slides. The assignments are straightforward; she can review them if you finish them a week before the deadline. Study guides are provided as well.

She makes her lectures fun, and she cares about her students. She has a very positive attitude and is very passionate about psychology. I would recommend her!

Don't take her online. She teaches nothing, just tells you the textbook to buy and tells you the dates of the quizzes and exams. No provided review or practice material. I paid full price for a class which i taught myself. Nice.

Miranda is an overall great teacher and person. However, this course requires you TO READ the whole textbook and also her slides and notes. If you don't have the time to do the extra work it might be hard. ALL exams are Closed Book and has significant weight on the actual course mark. Her written assignments tho are very straightforward and easy.

She co-taught this course, but she marked our two assignments worth 30% altogether. She is a very tough marker but expectations are clear. She also replies to emails fast and was very helpful throughout the semester. Overall, a great prof and would absolutely recommend!

Don't listen to the comments bashing her. Most online classes are teach yourself. She set up the class very well, had a very reasonable work load, and was prompt with responses and marks. She had up exactly what to know from the readings, and if you did them, the tests would be easy. These clowns with bad ratings obviously didn't read. She is great

Literally show up, and you will do well. The content is so easy but she makes it engaging and is a super fair marker.

Even though it did take extra time every week to review material and do the weekly quizzes, I am so appreciative of her format. She gives you these note templates for every single module which is kinda like a fill in the blank so you know exactly what to look for. Quizzes and exams were all open book. She also gives the pdf textbook for free!!
