Reviews of professor Ilana Bennett

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The material is easy, and you will understand what she is trying to teach you, but don't think that will be enough. Her midterms are far from perfect, and are more difficult than any other psych class. My hypothesis is that she is writing these questions on the bases that she can answer them rather quickly, thus not preparing you enough.

She was the worst professor I have ever taken at UCR. The subject material was not difficult, but the exams were ridiculous. I read the textbook, showed up to class, and still did not pass. She asked for feedback, but refused to help. The class average was extremely low and she still did nothing to help. She did not curve.

Shes oblivious to the fact that our poor grades are a reflection of her performance as a prof. She acts like were demanding the world from her when asking for resources to better prepare for her exams and ofc she said no to it all. The material itself isnt that hard, but her exams are so overly complicated which makes it hard. Avoid her if you can!

This is the one where you should believe the bad reviews and not risk taking this class. Terrible professor.

This professor is horrible. The material is not difficult, it is the professor who makes it hard. She gives extremely difficult exams where time and again the class average was low D and very low C's. The entire class was struggling and she did nothing to help our studying.

The course assignments were portions of the final paper you have to write, which didn't really seem to help me with my final writing since I was only worried about getting something in on time. There are also 3 tests, so you have to study for those. Discussion mandatory. Prof. Bennett seems like a very nice and knowledgeable person, though!

One of the best professors I have ever had. Her lectures are very straightforward. It was a 180 from the AP stats teacher I had. The downsides that there isn't much time to complete the tests and that homework can be a bit time-consuming. Poll everywhere for participation. Textbook/lectures are helpful. Haven't heard any complaints from students

I really didn't like Professor Bennett. I'm currently in this class and I must say that she has some of the hardest tests that I have ever taken. The material itself is so easy that you could explain it to a five-year-old, but the exams are where everyone is falling short. She gives trick questions and questions with no clear answers.

This her first year teaching this course. After the first exam she got mad at us for doing poorly but it reflects bad on her. The class average was a low D in all three exams. I believe not one exam was a passing grade as a whole. We asked for a study guide, extra credit, and to curve the grades she said all nos. exams are hard and tricky.
