Reviews of professor Nadine Agosta

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would not recommend taking this professor. She gives extensive discussion board posts and assignments every week. The material in the discussion boards, case studies, and Twitter posts has not been taught in class at all. Her powerpoints and grading rubric are incomprehensible. I thought I wanted to go into psych, but she changed my mind.

I had her freshman year and despite being a psychology professor she seems very unaware that some students may have social anxiety and cant participate as much, she grades heavily on group work. She later goes on to say silent people are more prone to be serial killers, she made feel I welcomed for the whole semester.

Why even teach when the course will be this difficult every single week... for a remote class literally just save yourself.

Attendance is required everyday and will take points off for missing class. Very few assignments and very interactive class sessions. Never any homework, you don't have to read the book but I would get it for in class purposes.

Honestly this class was very stressful but if you put in the work you will be fine. There is a midterm and three papers and attendance is mandatory. this class was at 7:30am but she made it fun. Class was interesting and had us work in groups often. Easy to reach via email but is very strict. SONA is required but it was fun to do.

Don't take her. SJU has a lot of horrible professors and she's definitely up there with them. It's a 1000 level class and she's so tough for no reason. Her grading is so unclear, she doesn't give any good or useful feedback, and she's so unbelievably rude. She was fine in the beginning though. Take anyone else

If this is the last available professor not the worst choice but overall, not a great pick.The class overall is not challenging, Professor Agosta does her best to make the class engaging with interactive group activities and discussions. Prepare for weekly pop quizzes - if you are one minute late to class, she will not let you take them.

I honestly loved this class. The material she provided was interesting. I loved discussing the material with my peers as well. There are 3 papers (1 being the final) that are very easy. The only "bad" thing is that she is a tough grader. The homework is reading a chapter of the textbook. It is an easy A if you're actually engaged in the class.

Took her to satisfy a core credit and it wasnt as bad as I thought based on past reviews. She tried really hard to incorporate different learning styles- almost to the point where it was too many activities and group work projects and not enough lectures. Only 1 test (online) and 3 papers. Participation is a big deal in this class.
