Reviews of professor Lindsay Massara

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class was a book club. She taught us nothing that she didnt find in the readings, and she never uploaded an assignment to canvas, leaving us no way of knowing our grades until the final ones were posted. I probably wouldve learned about the same amount had I only bought the textbook and not spent the money on this class. A waste of time.

worst law class I have ever taken. The readings are dense and very confusing. I gave up on doing the readings because she does a lecture on them and I felt like I was wasting my time because they made nos sense and would take me hours. Attendance is mandatory and the group quizzes that are meant to pad your grade are very difficult. Very boring!

Massara is difficult but I came away from the class with a lot more information. She was really supportive regarding law school and ended up writing me a recommendation.

All this class was, was a summary of the readings. No computers allowed in class, attendance is mandatory, and the class is excruciatingly boring. Grading was extremely unclear, and it appeared she just gave the best grades to the kids she liked the best. Grades down if you don't talk enough in class. Took this for a minor, and I hated it. 1/10

Massara bases everything in the class on the readings and does not do a lecture rather during the required class time she gives her opinions on the readings. Weekly quizzes are impossible to do without a complex understanding of the reading. Right now, during the pandemic, she is very insensitive to students. Overall do not take her class!

The discussions are constructive most of the time, but often the class stalls out in awkward silence. Being 1 of Massara's first classes, it seems she has yet to find an effective pedagogy. The reading material is relevant and conducive to the discussions. What the class is lacking is a clear and concise expectations 4 asnmnts And a GE to assist.
