Reviews of professor Lia O'Brian

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor O'Brien was an amazing teacher who focused a lot on lectures. Everything is explained verbally so if you do not attend lecture you will most likely not get the information. She had some review days which were mandatory but extremely helpful with outlining what to expect for the exam.

Although a fairly funny teacher, I didnt come to university for the laughs. Shell constantly tell jokes but it seemingly feels like she doesnt even know the material herself! She is extremely hard to reach by email (I sent 4 emails that she refused to reply to) I dont recommend this class to any student. Its just not worth it.

I really liked Dr. Obrien, I picked her even after seeing all the poor reviews to form my own opinion about her. If you want to do well in her class you have to be prepared to take your own notes and pay attention. Every quiz we had was in person while exams were on D2L. I learned a lot from her class. Theres not many assignments either.

Her videos were super thorough, but kind of confusing at some points. What was going to be on the tests wasn't very clear. Her tests were supposed to be on a couple chapters, but some questions related back to the other sections from the last test, so make sure you understand previous chapters.

I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed taking this class with Dr. O'Brien. From the start she made an effort to know everyone. Her grading might be the most straightforward I've had at West Chester, and she offers extra credit on every exam and quiz. I loved going to her class, and she made an effort to ensure everyone was comfortable talking.

Dr. O'Brian is such an amazing professor! Attendance isn't mandatory, but you need to be in class to get the notes. Her lectures are very interesting and easy to follow along with. All quizzes and tests are taken online over a course of a few days. Grades are based off of 3 quizzes, 3 tests, class activities, and an optional final exam.

Emailed her throughout the semester to be able to up my grade in some way & still ended up failing

Why so many bad reviews? Taking her class now & she's the best. You have to show up to class & be prepared to take notes, she doesn't post her slides on D2L, no big deal. She is also funny without trying to be & very helpful. She provides many examples & goes over the material a lot so you remember it. Pretty easy to follow if you pay attention.
