Reviews of professor Brigid Starkey

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Starkey is extremely knowledgeable and the class is fairly lecture heavy. After the first assignment or two, you'll get the hang of how she grades and what she expects to see. You'll find she is quite literal when it comes to her grading criteria. Use the examples she uses in class even if another example may work and take good notes.

Required weekly readings but lectures are based on slides which aren't posted after class. Unclear expectations & rubric for tests—tries to keep it a secret. Harsh grader on HW assignments with are extremely length, time consuming, & have strange rubrics. Doesn't post a letter grade during the semester. No consistency with attendance tracking 
4/10

Dr. Starkey is a fairly good lecturer with a relaxed vibe online and in person (class was hybrid). Lectures could tend to drone a bit, especially online, but resources were always provided on BB and she was very supportive and helpful if you asked for one on one help. The readings were light and assignments were simple, but the tests were tough.

Dr. Starkey is a good professor when it comes to lectures but the assignments she gives are very long and complicated for a 100 level course. Do not procrastinate her class. She doesn't post notes or lectures on blackboard so you need to go to class. For some reason, the textbook is the only one that I have to actually pay for.
