Reviews of professor Lia O'Brian

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very disappointing professor. I really was looking forward to this class but I knew within the first week that this was going to be rough. She lectures like crazy and for some reason I just cant stand her voice. She lazily creates tests and quizzes that are meant to trick students. She also assigns homework on holidays for some reason. Dont take!

I'm not sure why Dr. O'Brien has so many negative ratings. She is an amazing professor and I learned so much in her class. She is super down to earth and very easy to talk to. Attendance is mandatory and it is a very lecture heavy class, but she makes learning the information so easy! She gives great study guides for exams as well.

Worst experience with a professor at WCU. Does not post any content to reference, is not flexible, not helpful/ available during office hours. Attendance is mandatory, you must take great notes in order to be successful in the exams. The class consisted of in-class group assignments which were random and graded, quizzes, and 3 exams.

I took this course online, so this is based off of her online class. Cares so much about her students and really wants them to learn the material. Highly recommend her!

This class is fairly easy. As long as you take notes during her lectures, the exams are easy. She wants her students to succeed. Her lectures include a lot of examples which is helpful if you have trouble understanding a topic. She 'requires' a textbook, but don't buy it because you will never use it.

I absolutely loved Dr. O'Brian's class. Attendance isn't graded/mandatory, but you need to take good notes in class to pass the exams. She provides study guides before each test so you know if you're missing something. You'll do well in class if you show up and pay attention.
