Reviews of professor Judith Schagrin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was Ms. Schagrin's first year teaching. She comes from a long background of child welfare. She taught mostly through powerpoint lectures. She is a tough grader but takes the time to read and critique your whole paper. As long as you read, participate, and write your papers well, you'll do fine. She's always available to talk to. I'd take her!

This was Professor Schagrin's first teaching gig - the first review was six weeks into the semester!! It took her awhile to relax & start inviting more class participation. She has high standards but social workers SHOULD have high standards! If you want to learn, work hard & take your assignments seriously, you'll do great. Very accessible.

Professor Schagrin was engaging and generous in sharing her many years of social work experience in the field of public child welfare. Her lectures were interesting and she doesn't read from her powerpoints! The book was all about case examples for the class to review and discuss.

I believe this was Professor Schagrin's first year teaching, but you sure couldnt tell the assignments and exams were not hard. She is not to clear about what she is looking for in an assignment and the exams. As person she is wonderful to talk to and she stays up to date with current events but, as a professor there are areas of improvement.

The lectures were very PowerPoint heavy. Classes had about 15 mins of discussion on current events, then 2.5 hrs of straight lecture. If you read the book, the lecture was redundant. Hard to stay awake. Homework isn't necessarily difficult, it's just never clear what's important and what's not
