Reviews of professor Candace Black

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Awful experience with Black. Takes no responsibility for her actions and claims that her lectures are where all the answers lie, when in fact I taught myself everything. If it wasn't for google I would have failed this class tremendously. Provides no quality feedback for assignments & does not answer emails. Does not care for students or teaching.

She's tries to make lectures as interesting as she can. Assignments are clear and graded fairly. She is always available and happy to answer questions and help. Overall, this is an easy course as long as you do the work, which is not too difficult.

Dr. Black's assignments did not match course content. Her assignments would cover multiple items that were not covered in the lecture or practice assignment. She would use a heavy-handed grading rubric, that caused many students to fail. While I passed, I did not learn a single thing from her.

PSY290 is pretty boring, but she's passionate about research and makes it as enjoyable as possible. She's cool, funny, and geeky. Lots of mini-assignments in the online textbook.

Class content did not match assignments; the course relied heavily on SPSS user expertise rather than statistical concepts. SPSS should have been utilized as it was intended - a tool that compliments statistical knowledge - and not as the focus of the class. The instructor appeared to be a novice and utilized a heavy-handed approach.

"You are doing bad? You must not be watching the lectures." No unfortunately, you and the Teaching Assistants do not teach and take no responsibility for your failures. Literally anyone else should teach this course.

Candace goes out of her way to make her class as enjoyable as possible. She doesn't back down to a challenge, and will do anything to help her students succeed. Best class I have taken so far at ASU, and I am a Senior.
