Reviews of professor Mary Laird

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is a great teacher. The only hard part about the class is there is very little to be graded. 3 tests and 2 papers.

I truly loved Dr. Laird. It definitely isn't an easy class, but she is a really good professor who truly wants to see you succeed. She cares a lot about her students, and clearly is an expert on the subject. She makes classes interesting, but you have to pay attention and work hard to get an A.

Dr. Laird is an amazing professor. Her class is really interesting and she shows how it applies in different scenarios. There are only a handful of assignments that go in the gradebook, so you do need to study, show up, and show effort to get an A.

Dr. Laird is an experienced pro and a good professor, if you like the subject you will probably enjoy the class. If you don't like the class, Dr. Laird is still a good pick. She covers the test content thoroughly, study and you're good. The movie project can be goofy, but she grades them highly still. The application papers never get 100% though :(

Daily participation to make sure you attend. Prof. Laird is a really nice lady, but the examples she gives in class are nothing like what are on the tests, which are each worth 20%.

Loved Dr. Laird! Her lectures are interesting and the content is applicable to real life. She is super caring and willing to help - she wants her students to succeed! Exams are very content/memorization heavy, so study! And take advantage of extra credit opportunities! Final group project is easy, and the fourth and final exam is optional.

Dr. Laird is easily one of the sweetest professors I've had at Creighton. She cares about her students and wants them to succeed. This doesn't mean you don't have to study for her exams, because you better know the material! She's pretty specific on wording and definitions. Overall, awesome professor. Creighton needs more like her.

Dr. Laird truly cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. She's clear in her expectations, makes class interesting and engaging, and is very knowledgable in the subject matter. She can be a bit of a difficult grader but she's very clear in her expectations and if you go through the study guide for the exams you'll do great!

This class is not an easy class but if you work for it you will get An A or B+. If you know the study guides thoroughly you will be able to get A's on the tests and the papers and projects are graded fairly easily. In addition, the classwork everyday is relaxed but sometimes the lectures can be repetitive. If you are lazy do not take this class.

Overall, she's a good professor. The material is tough and can be tricky. She's fair though, and extremely personable. She genuinely cares about your success.
