Reviews of professor Marisol Parra-Tatge

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She gives very little instruction and is a tough grader. The exam questions are very difficult. She never responds to emails and it feels like she doesn't care. Your grade will not be rounded even if you have a 89.9 and when you ask she will also not respond to that email either. I would not recommend.

Only take this course if you must, getting a good grade is attainable but very draining. The biggest issue for myself and my classmates this semester was the very odd and inconsistent grading of the TA. The professor helps occasionally but only after desperately asking.I would never recommend this course to another student.

I read these reviews and was terrified to take her. I needed this class to graduate, and I saw one that said don't take it even if you're trying to graduate. 
Then, I went with my gut and took the class. This online class was one of the easiest online classes I've taken, and it was summer A. Just do the discussion and quizzes, and you will pass.

Locked grades in Canvas until we complained to the Psychology Dept. Doesn't really help or listen to students. Lectures are long and extremely slow. Rude TAs and lack of consistency in grading. No extra credit. Extremely hard content. Very long exams and chapters. Taken in Fall 2023.

The class just was not my cup of tea; and if it's not your cup of tea, get ready to force yourself to read 25-30+ pages of the very wordy textbook each week (the worst part for me). The prof wasn't incredibly communicative, mostly I just wish there was more structure to the course than reading a textbook chapter. The 3 exams use lockdown browser.

Please, whatever you do, avoid this professor at all costs. Study guides are vague and useless. Tests are proctored, not curved, and contain highly specific questions as if you memorized the entire textbook. Professor's lectures are extremely scripted and robotic. As a student that strives for excellence, this class really was a horrible decision.

She gives you everything but you teach yourself. Exams have 2 parts (Part 1 is w/ lockdown browser and part 2 is SPSS). Not an easy A. You do need to practice and read. No Extra Credit and no rounding up grades.

This is the hardest psychology class i have ever taken. She does not reach back out to you, she does not allow opportunity for extra credit, and her tests are super super hard.

This professor makes this course difficult for no reason. SSPS is out of date. Most psychologists in the field now use R or Python so what they're trying to teach is becoming obsolete. This prof is hard to understand and does not deal well with answering your questions. You have to teach yourself everything.

Do not take her. Never come across someone who is this poor at their job
