Reviews of professor Linda Maloney

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took her 8 week class and I loved it!  She was so knowledgable and approachable, she would be happy answer any obscure questions.  Her lectures could feel long at times, but everything was relevant.  Workload was average, with it being shortened it felt like a lot, but she would give you plenty of time to complete them.

I loved her CHLD 68 class. such an interesting and important topic! many hands on activities so good attendance is crucial. the textbooks are great and the tests are all take home. she keeps class very interesting by mixing it up with lecture, videos, activities, discussion. do recommend

Mrs. Maloney is an incredible person and teacher. She is self deprecating and tries to make the class relaxed and fun.

ONLINE- interesting class but, I would not take her class again. Grading criteria was inconsistent. Discussion every week, if you posted twice day you loose a whole point when its worth only 4 points. So that knocks it down instantly to a C. She assigned online group projects which were very confusing and it always felt unorganized.

I do not understand those complaining about her grading style. The instructions are clear. She is a fantastic and caring professor. The subjects were interesting. You have to read in this class. If you need help, meet with her during office hours. I liked the subjects and did not think her requests were over the top. Would take again! :)

Felt like a pretty basic GE course, discussions every week, with a test every month or so. Good amount of written assignments too, but not the hardest class in the world. Linda herself seemed very nice and would post reminders to tests and bigger assignments. Like I said, it's a basic GE class, but you know what to expect and workload felt light.

Ill just say this: this class will be very interesting for those who have children or are raising children. Otherwise, it will be boring. I took this class as a Gen Ed requirement. In retrospect, I would not have. This class was more difficult than I thought it would be. You have to write a lot and she is really nitpicky with the rules. Donttakeit

I originally signed up for a different teacher, but some last minute switches and Malony was our teacher. She's a solid choice : Clear Grading, Tough Though. She talks for most of the class alternating between White Board, Internet and Projector. Warning, you will sing in her class. I would take again, but not unless I had to.

I dropped this class and I would not recommend taking it with this teacher. She was a very unforgiving grader and penalized students for making the smallest of mistakes. Also, the way she responded to my emails was rude to say the least. There were a lot of writing assignments in this class that were unclear and the tests were super difficult.
