Comment:
Prof. Mawhinney is an extremely hard professor. For the first test, I studied, but once I got the test it was extremely long and you had to remember absolutely everything she lectured about to get a decent grade on it. She also does not take any excuses. My wifi went out for 2 nights and she wouldn't accept the assignment late.

Comment:
Her grading is very inconsistent and doesn't follow the rubrics or her posted instructions. The instructions she does post are usually very vague leaving you confused on what to actually submit. Tests are unnecessarily long usually around 100 questions but 60% of the tests grade comes from the last ten essay questions. Avoid if possible.

Miss Mawhinney was amazing. She's super caring about her students and cuts the slack when it's needed. She is extremely knowledgeable about the subject which makes her awesome to learn from and she's absolutely hilarious in class. Get ready to use the heck out of the text book though because the readings are what make up the class.

She is a bad teacher, she always makes fun of my haircut. Also she'll say "Any questions?" , wait half of a second, and then say "OKAY GOOD" and move on with her life. She's in 3008 while you're stuck in 1997

This was probably the hardest/worst class I've ever taken! She flies through her notes, doesn't care about her students success, and is very selfish when grading assignments. If you don't have to take, don't take!!!

This professor definitely makes you jump through hoops. Yes, lecture notes are given, however, she also uses the chapter readings on her test as well. Her syllabus clearly states True/False, Multiple Choice and Essay Questions. You can bet that there's always 10 Essay Questions. Her grading is not consistent because her plate is too full. (RUN!)

I loved this class! Took the online version and although it was very tough, I learned a lot, and it's a subject that can be applied to any major. If you do the assignments and read, read, read, you will do fine!

I took the online class and it was so much harder than it had to be. I do not recommend this teacher. If you do, by some aweful chance have to take her,do the work and the study guides you will be ok. The problem is that the class is way too demanding with weekly assignments and assignments due for each test on top of the actual tests.

She is a great professor. Can't fail if you do your study guide and print up the lecture notes to follow along during the lecture.

I do not recommend taking this class from her. She thinks this class is the only thing that you have to do. She does not spend any time reviewing the test only talks about what people in the class bring up. no test review test are multiple choice, fill in the blank and short answer.

Didn't really have a need for the book, I did not take the online course and suggest taking it in class. She provides study guides online which is all that is needed for the tests which are easy if reveiwed well. She is understanding as long as you are respectful, there was one portfolio on whatever disorder we chose, not too difficult.

Very fair professor. She grades fairly and is also willing to help outside of class. A LOT of reading, but mainly b/c I took it as an online course. I would recommend, just don't fall behind on reading!

Wow. No Don't take her. Take one of the other professors. She "doesn't have time for review because there is just SOO much material to cover." Many people fail her exams because she flies through her notes and doesn't review them at all.

She is a very nice lady. She has been a teacher for a long time and she knows what she is talking about. If you do the study guide the tests will be easy. YOu dont need the book very much because all of the notes are online. You can tell that she cares and I know that she is willing to help her students.
