Comment:
Dr. O is one of the best professors I had during my time at Iona. She is tough and expects you to work hard, but I have never seen her turn her back on a student who genuinely wants to learn. She will go out of her way to help you; all you have to do is ask. She doesn't sugar coat, but she's honest. Take her class; you will be glad you did!

Comment:
Dr. Oswald is hands down one of the worst professors at Iona College. Her tests and grading scales are challenging and she is not remotely understanding. I missed my final because my grandfather passed and it took three weeks of emailing to convince her to let me take the final. Difficult teacher and a terrible person.

I had her personnel psychology hybrid class & we had class once a week so we used the textbook a lot . She's not that bad , I think a lot of people exaggerate . She's really nice & her tests are fair . She's a fair grader too .

Professor Oswald was a good professor. You need to pay attention during class, complete the homework, and study for the exams and you will do fine.

Comment:
I think she is the sweetest, most caring teacher at Iona. You do have to attend class in order to understand everything to the fullest, but she was always willing to help me. If you're respectful to her she'll be respectful to you. Shes extremely experienced in her field and knows what she is talking about. If you want to go to grad school take her

She is straightforward and organized. That's the only positive comment I can make about her. Other than that, she plays favorites and is condescending. Take someone else if possible.

Comment:
I had her in 2002 and still think about her disrespectful and unprofessional behavior. A relative of mine worked with her and she treated him as poorly as her students, yelling at him in front ofP his own students. I have never met someone as cruel as her and hope to never meet someone like her again. I was an A student in all classes and got a B!

Comment:
I had the same experience as the person below me. I am an honors student, and she gave me the worst grades on papers. I went so far as to call her to discuss the grade and she refused to meet with me. She proceeded to put down the honors program at the college, saying "I don't know what kind of honors classes you been taking." Outrageously rude.

Comment:
Her assignments are very difficult. She doesn't provide anymore information then the book. Don't even consider taking an online course with her. the tests are about 2.5 hours each online, plus essay's every week.She grades a psych paper like an English professor, even if your content is excellent she'll give you a low grade. I am an honors student.

This is the most organized teacher I have ever had. You follow all her directions you will get an A. She lays it all out for you. Ok she is rude and has her faves i definitely noticed. But do the work and you will get an A not an EASY A!

Very clear and helpful, I had her for both stats classes and now grad school stats. Instructions are very clear, just follow what she asks you to do and it's an easy A. If you have any questions just email her and she will help you.
