Reviews of professor Kathleen McAleer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall she is a good/average teacher but she was very unkind to me
She humiliated me to the point that I wanted to quit the masters program before I even was accepted 
She did this when there was no other student present to witness the conversation
Condescending and self serving 
I tried very hard to please her and to no avail

Constantly complains about the fact that classes are online as if we have any control over it. Very passive aggressive and rude if you irritate her (show up late, ask questions) Actual work isn't bad but so many videos and reading to do outside of class. Mandatory camera on zoom and will randomly call on you if you dont participate. Not empathetic.

If I could give her a zero for a rating I would she is that bad. If you want to be a social worker make sure that you do not take her for early classes or you will learn to hate social work she is that bad. If you take her senior year it will be too late for her to make you hate the profession outside of a few misgivings.

I'm not the kind of student to complain about a professor. In my many years of college classes, I have never once disliked a professor as much as this one. She is snippy, pompous, and refuses to except external opinions. The professor is overbearing to the point of mockery to ideas she doesn't like. She demands participation, while punishing it.

Prof. McAleer is an insensitive, condescending professor. She gets mad at the class when we don't understand some of the criteria and is a hard grader most of the time. We've had about 4 assignments this semester, and the instructions are not clarified so most of the time, we are just winging it. She is not very understanding nor lenient. 3/10 exp.

Truly the worst professor I have ever had. She makes rude and passive aggressive comments, and has little respect for her students. Its an absolute shame because she is clearly intelligent and a master of the material, but her attitude ruins it. Perhaps she should get back in the field and out of the classroom! I would never recommend her.

Its unfortunate because this woman is clearly knowledgeable about Social Work and has the experience but her bad attitude ruins it. She isnt nice, she expects way too much and she is very knit-picky. Little things that arent a big deal she flips and she is not understanding when it comes to life. Not sure why she teaches if she doesnt like kids
