Reviews of professor Susan Purrington

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Purrington is honestly the sweetest. Her classes are so easy to manage and there is always a clear grading criterion. She offers extra credit to students, and she is very caring. If you are a psychology major, taking classes from Dr. P will be in your best interest.

She teaches all her classes the same way. Super easy and an easy A.

Purrington is a very supportive and engaging professor. The in-class group assignments were very helpful, and the textbook is only useful for the open note exams. Lecture slides were a bit unclear at times and had very little information, so it was important to pay attention to what she was saying.

Grading criteria that was outlined in the Rubric for paper was not the grading criteria that the professor was looking for in order to make A's on the papers. I was only able to achieve A's on papers after going far over the page and source limit that was laid out in the rubric. Therefore rubric was not congruent with the professors actual desire.

Test are hard. Sometimes there are extra points. Essays require research so dont expect to just give your opinion. But she gives a lot of feedback and spent a lot of time with me to help me. Great resource if youre interested in this field.

Overall, Dr. Purrington is an okay professor. You do need the textbook to pass her class. This was an OPS course and her lecture slides were useless. Each slide had a few words on it. She cares about her students, offers a few points of extra credit, and is clear about her expectations. However, I feel that this class could have been much better.

Took her gen psych class and loved it. She has great lectures. She does grade on participation so don't miss class. Pay attention/take notes and it's an easy A. She's super sweet and engaging in class. One of my favorite professors at CBU for sure.
