Reviews of professor Jamie Parnes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I've never had a worse class experience. Jamie was rude, careless, unkind, and seemed to know nothing about class assignments. He got upset when students didn't do things perfectly and on time yet he never clearly articulated expectations. He was late for class pretty much every day. If you can help it don't take this class with Jamie.

Doesn't grade anything besides short answers on tests. TAs do all the grading and grade very harsh on all assignments. He yelled at students in class for talking. He belittled students for asking questions. He would routinely be late (5-15 minutes per class). Take any other professor. Worst instructor in my 6 years of school.

I wanted to write a review since I saw some mixed comments for psy370. I've actually taken two courses with Jamie, and I agree he was better at teaching the other course I took but he wasn't that bad in 370. Was sometimes a few minutes late. He was also nice and helpful when I asked him questions, and explained things pretty well.
