CollegeThis class with ford was def something. Her quizzes were not fair and not reflective of her lecture content, also only had 20 mins for 5 questions.Her slides weren't the best, if you don't go to lecture you'll have a hard time understanding the material. In the end a C on an exam despite an A and B on the others, and some bad quiz scores got me a C
Lectures are boring and not very helpful. Very few assignments, I think it was just 3 quizzes and maybe 3 exams. I ended up withdrawing from the course and retook it with another professor. Also lots of readings which are mostly research papers.
Worst professor I have ever taken a class with. Super rude, her lectures are boring and hard to understand. She goes through slides fast and reads info about research studies from notes she has. Gets confused a lot and her slides often have graphs/data about study but no context so you have to attend lecture. Super vague questions on exams! Avoid!!
If Dr. Ford was a beverage she would be Flint, Michigans tap water. Just the worst professor. Hates her students and only cares about the letters that come after her name.
I would not recommend taking her class. her lectures were unclear most of the time. she would rant about unrelated topics and when asked questions about the class content or studies she wouldn't know the answer. the exams were tricky because of how the questions were worded with ambiguous answers. you def have to study like crazy to do decent
for a pretty straightforward topic, prof ford makes psy102 more difficult than it should be. the entire course is just her reading off her slides about research studies and not really adding any personal input or interpretation. the exams are pretty difficult, but her extra credit evens it out somewhat. i personally would not retake or recommend.
