Reviews of professor Lisa Shamansky

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I truly did not invest as much time as I should have in this class, and still got an B.  There is lots of extra credit...do it.  She also grades on a curve as far as your accumulative grade at the end.  I should have gotten a C and got a B. She really gives her students every opportunity to pass with a decent grade.

Dont take this class. I had to teach myself throughout this whole semester. I reached out to her for help, only to be let down with her response. Never have I ever experienced such unnecessary attitude. If you get something wrong on the hw, itll dock you points. She doesnt go over what is on the exam. Its fair game

I took this solely as a web class. I didn't really attend any of the discussions and basically self-taught. She has prerecorded lectures and I didn't really interact with her.

Extra cred 1 letter grade. I taught myself. Dangerous for nursing majors, mean exam score is 57%. Each chapter lecture is 2-6 hours long. Sometimes exams are on 2-5 chapters each. She DOES drop your lowest exam and hw which helps, and the class avg is only a B because the scoring counts a 73% as a B. Ppl get through this class on extra cred alone

Honestly, I joined her class because of the good reviews but she is the EXACT OPPOSITE. She is extremely vague & hardly helps out. You can email her a question & she will not help you get the answer. There could be a mistake on a homework or test question, & she will not fix it or the grade. No study guide provided. No notes can be used. Nothing.

Her lecture videos do not help you with the exams. There is no clear grading criteria for her exams and she does not want to help students with either a study guide or a notecard. Would not recommend this class.

She doesn't do anything to help her students. She says that going to her office hours will help, but once you're in her office hours and you ask her a question, she gets annoyed. She answers your emails with attitude. She said it herself that watching her lecture videos will not help you with your exams, so what exactly are we supposed to do?

Show up, and listen and youll pass. It was a relatively easy class. However, she is not accommodating whatsoever. Had a family member pass away and had to miss an exam, she laughed in my face when i tried to get help. I understand that she may have thought I was trying to skip or cheat, but sometimes you really just need to have some compassion.

Her class was really lecture-heavy. She does offer a lot of extra credit and drops one out of the three exams (not final). But, you do teach yourself for most of the course. Attendance isn't mandatory, but showing up does help clarify if you're confused.
