Reviews of professor Fran Oconnor

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I wasn't a fan of this class. 4 exams make up of 50% of your overall grade so good luck if tests aren't your strong suit. She takes a while to grade assignments, flies through notes during lecture faster than you can write, and assigns a chapter every week with 5-8 sections. Also had to spend money ($100) on Pearson/Revel for an online textbook.

I was really confused about the bad review because she was pretty great! She responds pretty quickly to emails and fixes any mistakes. She tells you exactly what she wants on the assignments. Her exams weren't difficult as long as you study, and she gives you a good amount of time. She gives you plenty of time to do the assignments as well. Easy A.

OConnor has you do 2 article reviews based on the article she has you read & wont allow you to do any outside sources for those at all. Also, you have to do an Essay and will randomly assign you a topic, check your e-mail for it. Lots of readings on revel, quizzes and weekly short assignments too. Great teacher!

I was thinking she was going to be really nice but NOPE! Shes so rude and makes everything so inconvenient. She acts like she hates her life and makes her students suffer for it. I DONT recommend taking her. For her tests she says to watch the lecture and youll be fine... shes so irritating and makes life really hard.

Prof. O'Connor is a kind and nonchalant instructor. The class was asynchronous, so all lectures were recorded. Work is pretty straight forward and not too hard. 10 assignments, revel questions, 3 papers, and 4 exams. Plan accordingly and you should pass this class. Communication outside of class is great too, so feel free to contact her as well :)
