Reviews of professor Sylvie McDonald

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This teacher really does care about you and the rest of the class. She puts so much effort into her powerpoints, and it shows. She really makes it interesting and I always WANTED to attend her class

Her lectures are completely random and she plays videos that dont correlate. Her test questions come out of thin air, and if you approach her she becomes defensive and will never admit shes wrong. Every class she does a Kahoot review game, sometimes the answers are wrong and she puts the questions on the test, deducting points for using her answer.

Ms. McDonald is a great teach and I would definitely reccomend you taking this course with her. The content is not that exiting, but she makes it intresting. The tests are diffucult, but reading the book really helps. She is very passionate about special education and it shows through her teaching.

It is easy to tell how passionate she is about special education during class. I always looked forward to attending because I genuinely learned a lot about what to expect in a classroom. The tests are easy if you study for them. I definitely recommend her!

She doesn't explain anything in class or outside of class. Her emails regarding due dates of assignments and how to do them are extremely confusing. If you try to clarify with her she says something completely different than before. If you interpret her emails wrong she doesn't try to help you out at all, she puts the blame on you.

She assigns essays and other assignments without any instructions or guidelines. Then on the day it is due, she comes into class and specifies how the assignment should be when half the class has already turned it in. Does not explain anything and makes you feel dumb when you ask questions. Class isn't too hard but she makes it so complicated.

Tests are difficult, most material is not covered in class. She does interactive quizzes, in which she provides some questions that appear on the test, but you don't have time to write them down. She also doesn't give an explanation for any of the questions or the answers. Basically you just memorize written questions, instead of learning concepts.

She is a very sweet lady! There are 3 tests which cover a lot of material. You have to study in order to do well. There are chapter quizzes in the textbook at the end of each chapter which are where most of her test questions come from. She tries to make the class fun with lots of videos and kahoot quizzes. She has a passion for special education!
