Treated a class of first year law students like they were in kindergarten. Not in touch with the realities of legal writing and research in the "real world".

Comment:

Has good intentions- wants students to do well. However, does not give straight forward answers. Workload is 10x more than other LRW class- takes away from studying for other classes. Not only workload-but extremely nit picky marker (even when she gives ex. to follow). My LRW skills are great- but at the expensive of my other courses... you decide.

Comment:

Wow, where do I start. I can honestly say that this professor ruined my first year at Windsor law. The workload is INSANE, twice as much as other LRW profs, and SHE GIVES A FINAL EXAM ON TOP OF IT. I wish I knew beforehand so I could try and get assigned to a different small group so I wouldn't have to be subjected to this absolute nonsense.......

What a poor excuse for a professor. Absolutely horrible at conveying the material and even worse at providing feedback. Her condescending attitude is not at all conducive to a healthy learning environment.

Comment:

I took LRW with this professor and was disappointed at first as I heard that she is a tough prof and assigns much more work than others. Though this is true I feel that I learned more from her than I would have if I were in the other class. You would be lucky to have this professor.

Comment:

After two years of practicing I realize the stuff she taught was useful. Very useful. It is regrettable that she is such a mean condescending professor. Regardless of material, perhaps the professor I liked the least in law school.

Comment:

nice person, terrible professor, course materials are lousy and like her they don't stress the right areas until after assignments are marked and you've been @ssraped for failing to comply. I think this class has by far screwed up the most students compared to the others. Sure it's important stuff, so teach it better ma'am

I blame the universe for placing me in this black hole of a course....going to class is no help, her teaching materials are of no help, and frankly the woman scares me. I now suck my thumb and wet my bed.

Comment:

Fact Pattern for Moira McCarney: Condescending. Patronizaing. Demeaning. Confusing. Will not or is incapable of answering questions with clarity. Gives contradictory information for assignments and then penalizes you for following her instructions.

Comment:

Absolutely the worst prof I've ever come across. I thought postgrad education would have filtered out most of the teaching professionals who feel they have to demean people to make themselves feel better. Waste of time.

Comment:

Worst teacher ever! Very condescending. She used to teach kindergarden and it shows. Very narrow minded and of limited intelligence in my opinion. Problem is you can't avoid her since she teaches first year so if you have the misfortune of getting stuck in her class my deepest sympathies.

Comment:

Want to be treated like you're in grade 3? Well this would be the course for you. Irresponsible pedagogy and unreasonable expectations plague her teaching and assignments. Dry, boring, and miserable. (I did well in her class. I'd hate to say what others that did not are saying).

Ya gotta take the course, but man is it ever pain. Not a great prof at all, and frankly a riddicolous amount of work in first year legal writing for the grades assigned.
