Reviews of professor Maura Priest

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Wasn't impressed with this class. The only way to get an A is if she deams your final project "exceptional" I worked hard all term, did every assignment on time did all the readings and then spent hours doing my final project only for her to say "oh too bad not good enough" no rubric was provided for how she would grade the project. Unorganized.

Priest cares about her students. I had some life stuff come up and she was very understanding abt me turning in something late. She does need to improve on having a clearer syllabus and the description of the assignments. Lots of Yellowdig and writing. I wish the quizzes were longer than 10 min we were allowed. Thought provoking material. I likedit

She shouldn't be employed. She is EXTREMELY disorganized. You read 2 long chapters every week and the the quiz is only 4 questions. You cannot get an A+ in the class unless you do an optional extra assignment (which ended up being 4 extra assignments). Only positive is all assignments are graded pass/fail. I didn't learn anything

AWFUL. The layout of her course on canvas is a disaster. It's difficult to keep track of the due dates for a bunch of random assignments. She sends out MULTIPLE announcements a day clarifying things. TWO of the assignments involve an awkward Zoom meeting with a random classmate for an HOUR. If you're not a people person, this class isn't for you.

Honestly the ratings sound harsh on her, canvas was a bit disorganized but if you follow through you're going to be ok. If you give time to read the assigned readings and effort on assignments then you're good. Group projects were interesting. Not as harsh as it sounds, people complaining about A-,A, or A+ are just try hards lol.

The best thing about the class was the differing opinions and sides to any given issue. The biggest part is just taking the information and forming your own judgment on what is ethical. Weekly reading quizzes and discussions, as well and a peer zoom discussion and final project (all assignments are pass/fail). Interesting and easy.

The most unorganized class I have ever taken. She would rather type out a 3 page announcement instead of being clear the first time around. Assignments were not explained, readings mislabeled, due dates wrong, syllabus wrong, and on top of that has a TA that grades everything. This should have been an interesting class and it was just terrible

Professor Priest makes her class really interesting, her lectures where right on point especially for the readings she makes you read for the week, the lectures and readings will be on the quizzes each week. There is also a video selection and video response due at the end of the semester but it is not bad, she also offers extra credit
