Reviews of professor Danielle Samuels

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This course is truly not difficult as long as you attend/ listen to the lectures and prepare for the exams. She is very thorough and provides ample opportunity for students to succeed. Lowest scores from each category are dropped including exams. Her lectures are interesting and homework assignments are opinion based. She is a very good professor!

This professors definitions for terms were often redundant and/or unclear. Even the simplest of terms had paragraph-long definitions. The language was overly flowery and trying to be scholarly without much additional benefit. I ended up using the textbook definitions because I ended up getting more confused than when I started.

Samuels is a nice professor that cares about her students and made an obvious effort to interact which is why I didn't give her a 1. Her lectures are really long and mundane and she expects you to memorize every little thing for her in person exams. Fortunately, they're multiple choice but the wording is weird and the questions were super specific.

I've liked basically every psych class I've ever taken, but she sucks so bad. The hw and quizzes are easy. It's the tests that are unnecessarily difficult and her study guides are way too long so you don't know what actually to focus on. I'm interested in the material for this class, but she ruined it. No reason you need to take it so avoid it.
