Dr. Gilbride has bad attitude, disconnected with students her test and quizzes does not reflect what she teaches makes the course extra hard. stay from her
I felt like she didn't know what was going on sometimes. I went to office hours a lot and she struggled to answer my questions. Her teaching style is okay but if you can supplement with the textbook or outside sources it will be helpful. I wish I had better advice but I never really figured out the formula for this course, just avoid if you can
She's a great prof, and she certainly knows her stuff. The midterms and exams were fair, but the grading can be hard.
Lectures weren't bad, she's nice and will willingly go over tests with you if you reach out. But, her tests can be quite difficult. Lots of studying, make flash cards or something because she doesn't assign you homework questions.
She honestly wasn't a bad lecturer and she seemed enthusiastic about the subject. However, she was very unprofessional and also refused to give feedback to students. Also doesn't listen to constructive criticism on how to help students. I am the type of student to put in the work and enjoy learning, but she sucked all enjoyment out of the course.
Dr. Gilbride is a really amazing lecturer, I purchased the textbook but barely used it. What she says in lectures is on the Midterms and Finals, so definitely pay attention and take good notes! One thing I will say, is about 15-20% of the compiled tests is application, which there really is no way to study for.
Pretty much all you get are 5 quizzes biweekly worth 10% of your final grade. The finals are worth the rest (two misterms and one final). These quizzes are pretty hard if you dont study ofc. However, the content is okay, it is a lot to memorize tho ugh.
Great prof, she makes watching lectures enjoyable. She explains everything super well which made the quizzes easy. The tests had fair questions but were marked unnecessarily hard by the TA's.
She is a good lecturer but her exams are VERY hard. We had weekly quizzes each worth 10% of the overall mark and each mc question worths 1%! Midterms and the final were very difficult in my experience although I studied throughout the semester.
