Reviews of professor Penny Harvey

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Majority of grade comes from group essays which are graded harshly. No tests. Class consists of group discussions which are very enjoyable because prof is very respectful of everyones beliefs and opinions. She is very careful not to offend anyone and makes students feel comfortable to speak.

Every class feels like a slow nightmare. You must outline a chapter and reading assignment for each class for a grade and discussions revolve around her belittling students if they choose to go against the tide by critically thinking. For a global SOCL course we focus on gender issues that make me question why Im paying for this. She doesnt care.

The hardest grader ever. Attendance is mandatory but you do not have to pay attention because there are no tests. 4 Essays as group work, at the end of the semester you must edit each one and write about how you edited each essay, plus a final paper! Don't do this to yourself, too much work for an intro class and too tough of a grader.

Every member in the group is graded the same, even if you have the least amount of feedbacks. Group essays should not measure any type of intelligence because, as a student, I am not responsible for teaching a college student how to write. Reviews of another group's essays a weighted heavily. It is not my job to grade another student's work.

An absolute waste of resources at Georgia State. Ive never been so frustrated with a lack of awareness and understanding a teacher could exhibit. Very weak lectures, concern for students, and barely grades individual work. Avoid for the sake of your education.

Tons of group assignments i'm talking like 4 group essays. Grading and assignment unclear she never clarifies. Class is mostly her trying to create discussions but shes hyper critical and attacks people so no one is confident enough to speak up then she gets snarky about no one participating. Notes arent necessary, homework every night, no tests

She doesn't care about her students at all. Gives guidelines and tells you she'll grade easy, but actually grades so harshly. Expects us to know sociology concepts she never discussed. She makes the class much harder than the material is and is extremely disorganized. I got a B+ because she is so wishy-washy with due dates.

She's super unresponsive to email/hangout text she can take days at some times. SHe will misspell words on quizzes and assignments a lot. She isn't clear enough when explaining assignments which can cause trouble. If you are looking for an Easy A this class isn't it u gotta figure out a lot urself.
