Reviews of professor Stefanie Gazda

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This is a level 4000 class which means it should be more work, but Dr. Gazda refuses to give out good grades to students. Putting in hours every week to writing discussion posts and doing readings, it felt as though your work was never good enough. Vague instructions, vague critiques, it was hard to ever understand what she wanted from students.

This was definitely not an easy course, but I loved the online format- this was a very interactive course. The workload is the right amount. The exams were fair if you kept up with the assignments and reading. If you prefer a slow-paced learning environment with many assignments rather than cramming for a test, you will like this class.

This professor shows no care at all for students or work. Assignments confusing, with multiple unclear deadlines for one assignment. Her grading is brutal, and offers no help or understanding when grading confusion arises. She is disrespectful in her replies, and relies on software to teach for her. Not a good class.

This class was super difficult and def not an easy A whatsoever. There are a ton of assignments that are long and time-consuming. The exams were nearly impossible to study and I never got anything above a 50. While there is no cumulative end exam, the 3 are very hard and have around 50 questions each. I would never recommend her to anyone.. ever.

I have never felt compelled to write a review on a professor but I guess there is a time for everything. This course was greatly disorganized and featured projects/work that would span over weeks with some overlapping. This professor is not understanding or professional and is severely disconnected from the student experience. Would not recommend.

Professor Gazda does not provide ANY lectures and expects you to learn everything through simply reading the textbook and completing realizeit videos which barely cover any of the material and therefore are not helpful. She is also an extremely tough grader and does not give clear instructions for the assignments. DO NOT take this class.

I don't know why her reading-based quiz included so many stuff that's not in our reading.
