Comment:

While I enjoyed the content of the class, Professor Rossis grading style is unbelievably unreasonable. She does not give partial credit. She grades based on her opinion. She does not give a reasonable amount of time to finish work. She doesnt offer helpful feedback. The course material is not very challenging, but it is very time consuming.

Comment:

Gives a lot of opportunities to get extra cred, I didn't do a 75 point assignment and still got an A!! Don't procrastinate on Sniffy and pay attention to due dates and you'll be fine. The powell book is amazing and easy to understand. As long as you complete work on time you can get an A. Check disc's often! Requires some time but not a hard class.

Comment:

She's been the worst teacher by far in all of my schooling. She expects everyone to understand how online classes work right away, gives you a zero if you don't word it the way she likes it, acts like it's the only class we have and switches up directions to what fits her agenda best. Hated every minute. Turned me off of psych. AVIOD AT ALL COSTS!

Comment:

I am not even halfway through this semester and i DREAD this class every single day. SO MUCH WORK, if you answer question clearly and correctly but you miss one little thing, thats it ZERO credit. Her expectations are really high. I hate this class, i do not recommend, it is not worth the stress and anxiety.

A 3.6 is being generous if you ask me. Only just started her class and I can tell it is going to be a long semester.

Comment:

She is very difficult, you must spend a lot of time doing her work online. The work is not hard if you know your stuff, its just how much she asks for. If you do not answer within the right dates or answer it the way she wants it to be answered you WILL get a 0. She doesn't give partial credit AT ALL!!

Comment:

Even though it's online class, you need to spend an overwhelming amount of time on this class. None of it is overly hard, it's just all time consuming. I'm spending like 9-10 hours a week on this class alone. If you leave one thing out in the discussions or anything like that you get a zero. Sniffy is really easy, but takes a lot of time!

Comment:

Professor Rossi is a tough teacher, but one that I respected. She is helping her students prepare for professional life and life is tough. Her class was interesting and her assignments must be done per her instructions or you get a zero. This is to help her students be better professionals. I wish more teachers were a tough as she is.

She was a nice professor in the classroom. Most of the time was there to help if you had questions about the internship. The internship process may be a little stressful, but I think if you sit back and be patient everything will work out. Had a lot of fun during my internship! Would take again!

Comment:

She was pretty good with this course. I wouldn't recommend taking it in the winter and that was a mistake. The course itself was very demanding and you had to work extremely hard to get a solid grade. The final exam was probably the toughest part of the course. Sniffy the rat was pointless and annoying after awhile. Not highly recommended.

Comment:

Prof. Rossi obviously loves teaching psychology. Even though it was an online class I found her to be very engaged, which made me feel like my tuition money was well spent. This should definitely be a 4 unit class because there's a lot of work involved. It's the most demanding class I've ever had. There's no way to study for tests either.

Comment:

The teacher is nice, but the internship situation stressed me out. Their arent enough internships for everybody and she expects you to compete for a spot. You don't get to chose your own internship either. And you have to interview with whomever if they ever call you back! My advice would just be to change to individual studies and not stress.

Comment:

Oh Yeah, tough class, but she's awesome! She's available to help but you have to ask. If you want a great course on psychology and learning, she's the one to take it with. Not an easy A. I had to work for it. Hey, it's college.

Comment:

Professor Rossi was faculty supervisor for my internship. I was nervous about doing an internship. She taught the seminar and set us up for internships in a helpful way. She wanted student feedback on internship experiences and gave me support when I had doubts about how I was doing. She was a role model for me personally and professionally.

Comment:

Their was a good amount of reading, but thag mag have been because I took the class online. Everything was pretty straight forward, just always be on time or you don't get credit for an assignment. But she did give out double points periodically which did help. The midterm and final exam were kind of challenging to and their was no way to study.

Comment:

I took her online class Learning and Behavior over this summer. I dreaded this class after the first week. I knew with it being a summer course it was going to be a little more then normal fallspring classes but this was so much work! There is no partial credit and Sniffy the Rat was beyond pointless. The readings were very boring as well

Comment:

Learning and Behavior is the hardest class I have taken at Suny Broome so far. It is so much work even though it is an online class. I regret ever signing up for it. Sniffy the Rat is unnecessary and her grading is very tough. No partial credit or extra credit. She is also very one sided so it is better to just agree with her.

Prof. Rossi is terrible. She is closed-minded and not helpful at all. She has even mocked students in online discussions for having the wrong answers. Do not take her course!
