Comment:
A good professor. Very knowledgable in subject matter and will help you if you ask for it. She only grades off the midterm, final and 10 short essays that are due at the end of every chapter. They were only 2 pages in length and the usual MLA format and you'll basically get a 100 if you do them, but really annoying. Is also the dean for some major

You get credit for participation which is good. There are 10, 2 pg papers, which actually helps your grade, if you do them. Easy to do if you follow instruction. Exams are timed, but if you know the material it is enough time

She is a terrible professor! She gave us 50 min to do 60 questions for Midterm. I think I don't have enough time to read those questions! I will never take this Professor's class, so many papers every week, and so many assignments every week! I can not believe it is only an online class!

Great class, and very organized. Prof was clear about what she wanted, make sure you keep up with participation assignments since it counts like 25% of your final grade.

Comment:
I had her for online psych and it was all relatively easy. There are weekly readings and assignments that are more tedious than hard, but it all only takes about one hour. She only gives an online midterm and final, and as long as you keep up, youll be fine. Shes very responsive to email and questions so reach out if you need shes very helpful.

She is an ok professor. I took the class online and it is mainly based on your midterm and final grades. The exams are hard. She doesnt really explain anything, just gives reading per week about topics. you have 2 weekly assignments to do as well. class was not hard to get an A, but you definitely have to put in a lot of work that you didn't expect

Comment:
She is a very unreasonable grader. Her exams are very difficult and specific and definitely go way beyond the textbook in terms of information, context, applications, etc. She does not give enough time for the number of questions she gives, and deducts points if you are a minute over. Does not offer extra credit and hard to reach out to for help.

Disrespectful and got of topic of the class. Instead spoke personal and sometimes ignored other students.

Prof Lapadula was a great professor. The material was straightforward and you'll be fine if you pay attention, study, and do well on the exams/final paper. The class was enjoyable and I would recommend taking her.

Midterm was challenging, and she does grade harshly on her book review paper, so make sure to do everything she asks of you when she speaks about it in class! Keep in mind there are only 3 grades in this class, so messing up on any of them will drop your grade drastically. In all, solid professor that was always available for advice and questions.

Lectures are very interesting. Tests are really easy and straightforward if you read the textbook and study the Powerpoints. Definitely try not to skip class or you'll miss out on some important points/concepts needed for the tests. But other than that, great professor and definitely would take again if possible.

I took her online intro to psych class. She grades by weekly assignments, weekly blackboard posts and two exams. I would say to read her lectures and some parts of the textbook she assigns every week as it will be heavily based on her exams. There is also one extra credit event. She is a fair grader and I would definitely take her class again.
