Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had. Class is poorly structured, and she doesn't put in grades. I had no idea what my grade was until it was posted on TopNet. When I e-mailed her to inquire about my grade, she told me not to bother her. Test material is not even covered in class. I hate that this class is only offered online.

Comment:

This course was poorly structured. The professor posts 12 announcements a day, but creates an environment in which students can't really ask questions. Objectives were unclear and in almost every reading assignment there was something about students not passing.

Comment:

She is intensely strict & you must read & pay attention to the syllabus including how to address the rare email. However, I learned quite a bit. She is tough but she does have a heart. I had an unexpected death of child within our family and she was extremely willing to work me to complete the class. She will make you work but you will be rewarded.

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR on campus! I'm a hard worker and generally never complain about classes (GPA: 3.96), but this prof is the worst. She's super rude and very unapproachable. Never send her an email, you will regret it. Your whole grade is based on 2 papers. The class content has nothing to do with ethics relating to medicine, despite it's title.

Comment:

If you have/want to take this class, save yourself the headache and don't take it with her. She can be really nice if she likes you, and you can learn a lot from her. But it's just not worth the trouble. She's impossibly anal about things.

Comment:

Holy crap. She is ridiculously strict and is probably the hardest and least understanding person I've ever met. Good teacher, but treats you like a 4 year old. Will interrupt you and make you repeat something if you say it wrong. Puts you on spot in class. DO NOT TAKE!!! Trust me.

She makes things up a lot... she tells us things are one way, when in the book they are completely different.

Comment:

Some of these comments hold true. I was in Dr.Pinnick's intro logic class and I though you needed a cambridge level volcab. to understand her. HOWEVER Dr. P is a good teacher, she's just really particular about things. DON'T use your phone and DON'T show up late (unless you're cool with her!) show her you're smart and GO TO THE STUDY GROUPS!

Comment:

Very knowledgable and extremely intelligent. A bit sexy I might add. However, never take a class form someone who write thier own text. Got kicked out of class for being late...I was wearing a cast up to my knee. She did the same to a guy in a wheelchair.

Comment:

Understand one thing. If she doesn't like you, you'll get a C. If she does like you, but you're male, you'll get a C. If you're from california, gay, or have extremist liberal tendencies, you MIGHT get a B. Don't take this class.

Comment:

She's actually a good teacher if you can get past the way she phrases things. she's wordy, but always correct. She'll also help you if you need it--just come prepared for class..you can't half-way do anything in this one.

Comment:

I had Dr. Pinnick for Intro to Elem Logic and have to admit that at the beginning of the semester she is pretty intimidating. But if you put up a good work effort and come to class, you should get a good grade.

Comment:

I have had this woman for a total of three weeks and I have to say I have never had an instructor that is so disrespectful and rude. I know that she is the instructor and a good one she may be but their is no reason to treat college students like 10 year olds. That is not what we pay for.

Comment:

The first class of the semester she behaves as if she is prepairing a class room of kindergardeners for a graduate level class. Her rudeness (and mannerisms for that matter) remind me of the hostess of the weakest link. However if you brown-nose well enough or express an interest in the class she will give you and A or a B. (do all extra credit!)

Dr. Pinnick is a wonderful instructor. I only regret not taking her Elementary Logic course earlier in my collegiate career.

Comment:

Not the easiet teacher in the world, but most people do not enjoy being forced to think, even at college. She's not mean, she just wants you to think!
