Beware

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Stay away! this professor should be your last resort. She gave terrible feeedback-it was vague and not clear. her own grading criteria did not match the one given in class. I would have to email her on multiple occasions to give a clear breakdown on how she graded my work. Participation matters HEAVILY.

It seems impossible to submit anything that she doesn't criticize. There are four projects, 8 quizzes made up of 20 questions, and discussions. She expects an initial discussion post including citations and personal experience. To get an A she expects at least five responses to classmates including citations and personal experiences again.

Class requires A LOT of work/time. Mostly tedious research in digital library. Prof clearly cares a ton about course & material, with LOTS of correspondence to sort through. But she provides good info/personalized feedback. Read rubrics carefully, craft work to literal specs/requirements, reply to everyone always. I had a good experience with her

Only 3 Discussions and 4 Projects in my capstone class, Content isn't as important as structure, even though I used Grammarly she still gave me a 0 for word mechanics. Also when doing a discussion it says 3 responses for a perfect score if 10 people respond to your discussion you have to reply back to everyone for full credit.

The teacher does not give you credit for anything. When I will take an essay or discussion she would give me the lowest grade. The worst experience ever!

Insanely difficult to keep projects within expected page limits and still explain in detail as directed.  Has the feel as though she prides herself on the fact that not many pass with an A.

I put ALOT of work into this class, but felt like I did nothing.. Discussions are intensive, 2 responses required, 5 in order to get an A. There are 4 major projects, with UNCLEAR rubrics. I was asking for multiple clarifications each week, but some how it still did not help. VERY tough grader, even after applying feedback she gave. DO NOT DO IT.

The group project is very difficult, probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. Professor is a tough grader but does have clear rubrics.

SAVE YOURSELF 8 WEEKS. DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS THAT SHE IS TEACHING IF YOU WANT TO PASS.

Prof Feinstein's class will truly challenge you. It's not meant to be easy; it demands substantial work. I recommend thoroughly reading all of her guidelines before tackling the projects. By covering all the bases, you can expect to receive good grades. Additionally, She is extremely helpful and very responsive.
