Reviews of professor Rhonda Norwood

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Long lectures, a lot of reading (though she gave reading guides to lighten the load), quiz every class, 2 huge papers which she does not grade lightly. Would not take again only because I found it really hard to retain anything from the lectures.

Dr. Norwood's SW 7009 class was by far the most difficult class I have ever taken but I learned so much from her! Her instructions can be vague initially but she is very helpful and quick to help clarify. She is also quick to provide feedback. I am taking her again this semester because, although she is tough, I do actually learn from her!

This is my second time taking this professor and I would definitely take her again. She cares so much about her students and their futures as social workers and her passion for her work is evident. She is very quick to clarify and she is open to discussion on pretty much anything. She is also very encouraging!

Gives out a quiz before class based on each reading assigned so make sure you pay attention to the content and the reading guides she gives you. Gives a lot of feedback on papers but also answers questions via email very quickly. Is tough on grammar and APA so be well versed in those if you have to write a paper for her class.

I have taken three courses with Dr. Norwood. She has a huge heart and wants to see all students walk away with the skills to be excellent social workers. The level of difficulty for her classes vary by the topic and it's impact on clients. I can only say excellent thinks about her. She is fair, kind, thorough, and is brilliant.

She does have you do group work, the quizzes were hard, but she did go back and correct them. Lots of supplemental readings. She seemed to really care about her students, but I just really had an issue with some of the major assignments. They could have been made clearer and had more examples so we knew what she wanted.

Material and quizzes are very subjective and therefore quite difficult to do well in her classes even for top students as you must learn and test according to her view on the matter which is not communicated to students beforehand.

Great instructor! Dr. Norwood shows that she really cares about her students retaining the information. You have to apply yourself and work hard, as there are many assignments. I have taken her for multiple classes and I have learned so much. She had made my Masters program very informative! You want regret it, if you take her.
