Reviews of professor Emily Coffey

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She won't cover all the material in class. You're expected to study the chapters in the book before you get there. She provides good videos to learn and study, but it still ends up being a lot of work. There's also a project and presentation. Hard grading scheme as well. Exams are fair.

I agree with the previous review for PSYC452. How could an exam worth 30% consist of 30 MC? The course notebook was wayyyyyy too much work, we ended up with over 100 pages as our final submission for only 20% of the final grade. Shifted grading scheme too, but she does have participant pool as an option. Very disorganized overall.

30% of grade  30 MCQ midterm with Qs that were not representative of the course Project: write a textbook (up to 4/group). 13 ch.s. She wrote an example ch. which was 23 p once we completed it Grading scheme for project unclear: 3/5  "followed all instructions", 4/5  "followed all instructions to a high level" Worst course (i'm 4th yr, A+ stude)

Professor Coffey is one of the best teachers at Concordia. Her instructions & expectations are clear. Her tests are fair. The course project is heavy, & requires effort, but it's an interesting project nonetheless. Lectures are interactive. The only down side is that her grading scheme is different from the Uni's, so you have to work harder.
