CollegeIn my opinion, very technically competent, but extremely close-minded - she knows what the truth is, and anything that contradicts what she already believes must be false, because she knows the truth, and therefore, if this new information contradicts what she already knows, she can reject it without consideration or evaluation.
I am surprised by all the low ratings. She is a difficult grader and assigns tough work, but is very knowledgable and if you put in the effort she is very helpful with feedback and is committed to helping you improve.
Professor Roskies is a challenging professor not because of the way she teaches but because of the breadth of her field and the lack of prerequisites for this class. I took 124G, and what really allowed me to succeed in this class was just doing the readings and taking PSY 120 (consc&cog). This class requires genuine interest and hard work.
Worst professor I've had and miserable to be around. Mouthy and opinionated when asking for help in office hours and tests are most of ur grade but with no clear idea of what's being tested theres no way to prepare….easy to see why she got fired from her last school and honestly hope the same happens here tbh. Wouldn't recommend any course by her
Shes has high expectations of students when it comes to entry level knowledge and will use a lot philosophical terms in lecture without elborating on their meaning. Overall I found office hours to be a waste of time and lectures to be unhelpful. Difficult to comprehend and get a good grade in unless you have a graduate level understanding.
Tests are large portion of the grade But no guidelines for material being tested on Graded IClicker quizzes based on the reading Attendence mandatory and taken from them Low test averages No meaningful curve to the low averages Would be a great course with a different professor
