Comment:

McGucken is nice I suppose, but her class is awfully boring and feel like a waste of time. She reads word for word from her notes- I can read on my own at home. I wouldn't recommend taking a class with her, as she is hard to hear, and often gets off topic.

Comment:

Professor McGucken is nice, and her tests are easy if you go to class. However, she is extremely forgetful, does little else to teach than read off notes, and tends to repeat herself, in both class material as well as her...jokes. She is also very inconsistent in responding to students' requests for help.

Comment:

She was a great professor after you got used to her accent. Her tests were very easy if you go to class and pay attention. I had a blast taking her Sociology of Criminology class and found it to be interesting.

She's knowledgeable but she can't lecture! Boring and she rambles a lot on unimportant topics. Easy class if you don't mind boring classes and awful jokes.

Comment:

McGucken is a disaster on the proportions of the dinosaur extinctions (of which I believe she witnessed). Her quotes could have come from a 5th grader and this course could have been passed by one also. In my opinion she should be terminated from her job if there was any integrity at Case. Her teaching skills are on par with Rosie ODonnell's talent

Comment:

This teacher can summed up in one word: DISASTER. Her lectures are incomprehensible, uninformative, and uninteresting. They are a hot mess and extremely incoherent. Here are a few "McGucken-isms": "Does anyone know where Deleware is?" "Women ususally work at the bottom of a building because we don't want them to fall off." What a disaster.

Hilarious mannerisms/stories. But she is a pretty good professor otherwise.

Good professor, obviously knows what she is talking about. She has the tendency to ramble sometimes, but otherwise, she cares about her students doing well and is always willing to help out. Her exams are a fair assessment of your knowledge.

Professor McGucken is an excellent prof. She engages in conversation with the class; this enhances the lecture.

Senile old fart who treats the class like they are 3rd graders. easy as hell though, take for an easy A if you can put up with her incessant rambling and attitude issues. she actually yells at people for chewing gum in class.

Comment:

She's helpful and clear (it's hard to be unclear when you present everything you're saying on a screen behind you), but sadly RMP does not contain a bar that lets one rate how much could be learned watching Oprah instead of attending class.

Comment:

Class is very easy, but she doesn't diverge from her notes at all. If you take one of her classes, you pretty much know what will be taught in the rest. She can also be pushy as an advisor. Very nice woman, but boring, repetitive classes.

She's an excellent teacher. Prof. McGucken is also my advisor and i've taken two courses with her and she is very knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous. She is also funny and i don't think she realizes that.
