Reviews of professor Emily Patch

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lectures are interesting but irrelevant to the tests. The essay guidelines are unclear, and she's difficult to get ahold of. She's very kind, but endorses ABA therapy and necessitates person-first language for autism, which is offensive and particularly damaging given that she's teaching people going into careers in psychology.

Loved Dr. Patch, but I was not expecting her papers to be graded so harshly. Never have had any other professors give me as low of a grade as she did. As a matter of fact, have never gotten lower than an A in an essay for a class. Other then that, loved her class.

I took Dr. Patch a few semesters ago for Psy101 and she was a fantastic professor. Her lectures were very thorough yet easy to understand. She is one of the only professors I didn't feel intimidated by or nervous to ask any sort of question. She knows her stuff and it shows. Reading is heavy, but expected with Psych. All around wonderful professor!

Dr. Patch is a very funny and genuine person that enjoys the material she is teaching. But, she assigns a metric ton of readings and her tests and quizzes are hyper specific and very difficult. If she mentions something once in class or one of the hundreds of textbook readings gives a tiny detail, you can expect it to be on the exam.

Overall she is a nice teacher. You must show up to class everyday because she will mention one tiny thing and it will be on the exam. Sometimes, if you show up to class she will give extra credit if her computer is broken or something. The reviews she gives for her exams don't even help, not even worth it to do them. Good luck on the exams!

I didn't like her honestly. I felt like her tests wanted you to fail. I watched lectures, did the hw, took notes off of activities, and there still was content on the tests that she never covered. I tried so hard but still couldn't get a B on a test. She was also rude to me whenever I needed to email her.

Dr. Patch is awesome! She is super funny and engages the class well. The main thing I did not like is that she does not provide a lot of feedback on assignments, but she made every class interesting and is very approachable. I would take another one of her classes!

Patch is extremely smart. Her class was interesting and fun to learn about. You must come to class or you will not pass. She will put information on the tests that she talks about in class and is not found on her slides. Study more than the guide. Reading quizzes are heavy reading but with time management, it is fine. You have to work for your A.

Doctor Patch (goes by Vogel now) is very knowledgeable and has some of the most interesting lectures. The workload wasn't too heavy which I appreciated and all exams were online at home. Attendance wasn't mandatory but I still went to every class because I truly looked forward to them.
