Reviews of professor Alanna Durkin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Durkin seemed like a decent teacher at first although it was apparent that she is a tough grader and has a lack of teaching skill. Tests are hard and you cannot keep them. A paper was thrown on at the last minute without a rubric or precise guidelines. The final review consisted of her being late, grading papers, and no teaching from her.

If you can, please take any other professor but her. She is a great person to have a conversation with & all, but her as a instructor ehhhh not so much. There are no study guides, no prep for exams & a lot of stuff on the exams isnt covered in lecture so you have to read it on your own & know it. Please take anyone but her if you want to pass.

Friendly and easy going as far as science professors go. Very knowledgeable and is happy to help students who have questions or need extra help with material or labs. Provides lots of resources to better understand the material, including video lectures and YouTube videos. Slow to return grades but COVID was a factor for that in 2021
