Reviews of professor Danica Parfyonov

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She teaches like everyone has their masters degree.

Class average for one of our exams was "below 60%". With respect, she should be ashamed of her teaching abilities. A below 60% average is not okay for fourth year students.

Stay away from her, stay away from PSYC 4900. Unnecessarily difficult.

Danica is the best prof Ive ever had. She tells you exactly what will be on the test. Class not mandatory, but she gives examples in class that arent on the powerpoint and tests on them, but theyre super easy examples to remember. Im not at KPU anymore and now when i take classes all i can think is i miss Danica. She was amazing and so funny!!

Danica is a very intelligent professor and that comes across in her lectures. Having said that, her lectures are in a lot more detail. If you show up to class, she usually tells you what's on the exam throughout the slides. Her tests are based on her slides. If you plan to take further courses in biology/psyc take her!

She's new and she follows her own sets of rules. E.g. she puts a heavy written section on tests to separate "A's from B's" She also just reads from her slides so attendance isn't required. Also, she doesn't reply to email when not written in exact format (makes a big deal about it). Office hours are by appointment only. Just a huge hassle overall.

She's very good at explaining topics and answers questions best as she can. Her exam are fair and don't have anything the notes didn't she also gives opportunity to get extra marks by just participating or completing simple assignments.

Worst prof, she comes accross super nice and is nice to talk to however course content is heavy. She provides no study guides which is ridculous for the amount of lecture slides. Its a 1100 and she teaches as if its a 3rd level biology class. Would not reccommend for new students.

Too much information for an "intro to sleep" class, exams weighted WAY too much 2 exams together make up 60% (30 each), the average was below 60 for the first exam. The tests were so difficult and she is a very tough marker.

Lectures whole time and does not engage with the class. Its only an intro level class and she adds so much useless information about biology into her power point slides. Does not give any study material for her exams. Would not recommend

Danica was super knowledgeable about psychology. She told us interesting stories and although her class was very lecture heavy, I personally prefer that type of teaching style rather than her having us to presentations. She gives hints in her lectures about the long answer questions on the exams. Biggest tip is to study her power points!
