Reviews of professor Ifeyinwa Mbakogu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great Prof with top ratings on, knowledge, passion, caring, going out of her way to make her students succeed, fair and accessibility. I will take her course over and over. Keep up the good job Prof Mbakogu. I am the better for taking your cross cultural social work practice and field seminar courses .

This was my favourite MSW course. It was spot-on on application to practice in a multicultural context which is not something that the school of social work offers often. I was lucky that this elective was available and with a knowledgeable professor to teach it in 2018. The skills learned from this course has helped in working with my clients.

Professor Mbakogu was difficult to understand in her long lectures. Did not answer emails, did not respond to online discussions, the rare reply didn't make sense. Assignment instructions were not clear and she was reluctant to clarify. Easy first assignment and then two time consuming/complex assignments with one video recorded counseling session.

I will never have completed my field placement were it not for Ifeyinwa. She had so much energy and completely believed in me. She went to all our agencies no matter how far even though she was new to the province. She is strict about practice and has high expectations but that should be expected. This is a delicate profession with delicate lives.

So much to say. Clear as mud rubric and syllabus. Unwilling to explain anything. Changes syllabus/grading criteria on a whim. Does not follow the placement manual. Attendance and participation mandatory but reads from PowerPoint. Hard to get a hold of. Rude to some students. You WILL pass, but it is torture.

Not accessible to students at all. Assignments were unclear, and there was no willingness to provide clarity when asked questions. Overall prof was rude to students, and it was very difficult to decipher the assignments. Negative experience in class, would not reccomend and would not take again. Unneccessary stress for an elective course.
