Reviews of professor Lisa Firestine

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Although I took this class at an accelerated rate (7.5 weeks instead of 15 weeks), this was by far the hardest class I have taken. She is very nice and accessible if you need help, but if you miss even one comma in your citations, you are down 1 point on a 10 point assignment. VERY STRICT ON APA FORMATTING! You must have your citations perfect.

She had numerous grammar errors and incomplete sentences in her syllabus and assignments. Like hey lady you want to finish that sentence please?! She also mixes up may be and maybe. Really? Like really?! I'm being 'taught' by someone that doesn't know the difference between may be and maybe?! Assignments unclear and grades harshly. AVOID HER!!!

Prof. does not follow rubric. If you do not know APA 100%, you will be lucky to pass. Prof. judges work by APA work, not content. Prof's grading is inconsistent with each piece submitted. Students notice mistakes for each other, but students are not graded equally. Seems males are held to a lower standard, and cannot overcome stereotype.

Unclear about assignments, sends mixed messages regarding her expectations. Instructions for assignments can be found in multiple places. Grading seems to be 90% APA and grammar, 10% anything else. Teaches BSN course using resources designed for NP programs. Not well-designed for those working full time who are trying to complete RN to BSN program.
