I took World Geography online over the summer. The amount of work required was excessive for such a short semester. There were 13 quizzes, 2 mid tems, a final, and other assignments. All the quizes and tests were hard and you really had to know the chapters well in order to get a good grade. 5 weeks is too short to memorize an entire text book.

Horrible. A piece of advice; avoid. Really unclear, unorganized, and takes forever to get back to you. I took the class online, and the work could be considered excessive, but that's not half the problem. She doesn't grade things on time or at all. Seems like a nice enough lady, just doesn't know what's going on.
Took this class online and it was awful. Do not ever take her geography class online. The amount of work was beyond excessive and she doesn't respond to emails.

A miserable, frumpy old bag, who deprives the students of academic clarity for the sake of her own personal petty partisanship. Spends more time trying to censor class material and minding others business and less time trying to improve her cocamimie department.
too many tests a quiz weekly on the notes taken from the reading, homework and lots of it, opionions are one sided and very democratic.
Took online class..it was awful. Do not take her class. The amount of work was excessive, tests were wayyy too hard--even when using the text during the test i couldnt get over a C. She takes forever to respond to emails.
this is seriously the hardest class ive ever taken in my life. her work load is UNBELIEVABLE. she literally gives u the text book and makes you teach urself 2 chapters at a time, and take REALLY hard online tests on them. then she goes over the chapters AFTER the test. the hw is really difficult. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS if you can help it. believe me

Ridiculously liberal class and the work was way to heavy. She's also in charge of her department. She tells her faculty not to give their opinions and yet thats all you get from her....opinions. she doles out more baloney than Oscar Meyer
EXTREMELY hard. Unrealistic amounts of work. Every day you've got scheduled homeworks, then you got the projects, then you got quizzes and then tests like EVERYDAY. Gives you the text book and forces you to teach y ourself because she can't teach. Don't take her. Any little stupid thing that interests her, you write the project.
Rude, incompetent, abusive. Does not return calls/emails. Unreasonable expectations for a short online course. No respect for student, nor parents who had to get involved because of her attitude. Has a major ego problem. Horrible teacher, do not take any course taught by her no matter what!!! AND she's the department chair so NO ONE WILL HELP YOU
Is prbably the worst teacher at the college...does not do a thing to help you. You are expected to teach yourself and never responds to anything. Her midetem was 100 quetions on the forst havlf of the book..Fine. The final was on the entire book and was 150 questions in 120 minutes. Less than a minute per question. horrible at what she does avoid
HORRIBLE! I would of learned more sitting home watching Gilligans Island re-runs
Incompetent, belligerent, and arbitrarily unhelpful, no matter what circumstance you try to bring to her attention. She doesn't wanna be bothered, without even hearing you out. Not only that though, her demeanor is nasty and borders on hostile, unprovoked.
HORRIBLE may be the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. One of the most rude, incompassionate people I have ever encountered. You will be forced to literally stalk her life to get in contact with her....USELESS AND WORTHLESS.
Simply awful. To the one who wrote on 3/28/08, "Gives you the text book and forces you to teach yourself because she can't teach", you are totally right. She cant teach to save her life and she knows it. Thats why shes always up in the business of all the other teachers in her department. She cant stand anyone being better than her.
Like Gilda Radner said when she played Emilly Latella on Saturday Night Live: "Never Mind".
I do not know where to even begin. This is the worst professor ever!!! Please for the love of God, if you are reading this, DO NOT take her class! Honestly, I enjoy world geography. I purposely took this class as an elective. Instead of an enlightening experience, it was simply miserable.
I had her for econ, and it was a fairly diffcult class.we had quizes almost every week and a test after that.. It was too much.i still consider her to be helpful and understanding. she offers a lot of extra credit.however, if you're a huge slacker DO NOT take her class, because you will most likely fail... i struggled so much, but i still go an A.
I took this class cause I always liked it and thought it would be fun. It was aweful! It is the hardest class I've ever took, plus I did it on the summer semester in 1 month. We did the entire textbook in just 4 weeks w/3tests every week,plus reports, plus maps and more. It was ridiculous!. Did I mention it was online and she went away for 2 weeks?
Her workload is too much, expects us to read book but barely teaches it give test and pretest too hard, project comparing us+china and the data cant be found PLUS we have to do headlines each class :( and she doesn't do EC right attal it's too much!!
Class was about as useful as a balloon with the skin peeled off of it. Most people rating on this page have the same opinion. AWFUL!
Worst professor in the history of the world!
Do yourself a favor and avoid this teacher. Curriculum is very unclear and teacher is difficult to communicate with. I regret ever signing up for her summer course.
This Professor is not very helpful. Tests given have inaccuracies, which she promises to correct, but doesn't. This was an online course, and the map exercises require someone to be fast with a mouse with 100% accuracy. The score/grade given was less a review of one's knowledge or understanding, but more that of dexterity.
A lot of world for a social science class.
One of the most incompetent professors I've ever had. You have to teach yourself the material because she don't teach anything in class. Gives way too much homework and she gives 1 or 2 tests every week. WORST CLASS EVER.
What a terrible professor. Just not good at teaching at all. Painful to sit through this class. I wouldn't wish this professor to teach my worst enemy.
I am a high school student currently taking her class online and i will cry. i. will. cry.
Simply horrible. I took her macroecon online this summer and she was simply horrible. You teach yourself. She has a very bad attitude and is not understanding at all. It was almost impossible to get in contact with her, when the university finally linked me with her she had an attitude about not doing so earlier. I don't recommend taking her!!
She's good. I think you really have to pay attention in class and she gives a lot of etra credits. She's good.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!! I'm struggling so hard right now trying to simply get an acceptable grade because she assigns WAY too much work and is extremely unclear on what is due when. Her projects are unbearably difficult and she is not understanding at all.
She told me that she would give me an incomplete and allow me to finish the class, and when I am ready to take the chapter tests that I should send her an email and she would open them one at a time. At first she did, but then she stopped, and at the end she failed me. If you behaved like this at your job, you would be terminated!
This is horrible, I am use to hard work but this is crazy. She is beyond specific and you can not do something that will get her to be pleased with your work. Considering dropping her class. It was a huge mistake.
Not very helpful when it comes to explaining criteria. even on the online classes. She seems to not really care about students and gets attitude when you ask questions, despite them not being in the syllabus or the course guide. One of the worst professors i have come across. Probably has tenure to keep her employed.
This is the worst professor in the history of the world. I took her online Macro course and it was terrible! I am a straight A student in every class I take and I struggled with this course. She never offers any help, she never posts reminders or Power Points or anything! All tests and homework are done online so she doesn't even grade anything
There is so much work you need to do for this class, its ridiculous, especially because its only a three credit, general education course. Weekly quizzes and homework where you have to answer a minimum of 60 questions on top of the bi-weekly essays. 2, 100 question mid-terms, and a 160 question final. Do not attend this class, you will regret it.
This professor, while offering a in depth, comprehensive course on Macroeconomics, is downright rude, condescending, and unapproachable. Her language is inconsiderate to addressing questions and concerns. Her reliance on textbook tools is inexcusable and a total waste of your money. Quite disappointed in my decision. I do not recommend.
This professor lacks empathy and does not care to ask students to review their home work for resubmission. She does not even grade the effort One puts in. She expects students to take a three weeks intensive self taught course and come out as renowned macro economist. She needs to review her teaching methodology!
I had professor Connelly about 30 years ago when she first started teaching. I thought she was great and very caring. I am surprised at the ratings.
She gives lots of opportunity for extra credit but her lectures are unimformative. You basically teach yourself and she can be rude and unapproachable.
Worst Professor ever! Get ready to teach yourself. Forced class to buy a subscription to the NY Times, lectures about herself the entire class, does not answer emails, horrible attitude, moves on in class before even finishing the previous chapter, subjects taught AFTER test, etc. Work while going to school? She'll argue with you about it too.
Good luck on the quizzes
Took professor Connolly last semester. If you read the text and take good notes you will get above a 90 on all quizzes and tests. Very easy to use your phone during tests too. Pulls tests right off quizlet. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Easy A if you show up and do your work.
She will ruin your GPA. I worked so hard and got a B. Her quizzes were impossible. Do not take her.
Honestly she is never helpful Awfully rude I repeat do not take her macro online class, please take that class in person with a better teacher, do not waste your time on some rude, unhelpful professor.
Very Rude. Ruined my GPA. Accused my of lying when I told her my mother is dying of cancer... I handed everything in on time and still barely passed with a 71... NEVER AGAIN
Professor Connolly was so so rude and hard to talk to. She made it seem like she is the best at what she does, but clearly shes not since more than half the class barely passed.
Never try to ask a question her class because shell take weeks to answer it. Inconsiderate and doesnt about students. I wish I couldve seen the reviews on her before I took her class.
STAY AWAY!!! very rude professor. she is a gpa killer. even the online class
This professor is the absolute worst. She gives tests before she covers any of the material, and even when she does it's all stuff you could have learned from the textbook anyways. If you ask a question, she'll never answer it because she always goes off topic and starts talking about something completely different. DO NOT TAKE!!! Terrible teacher.
She awful. I didn't miss a single class and participated heavily. She confuses herself and is content and almost happy when student starts get 70s. Her online quizzes are all over the place. The in class pre tests are impossible. Stay far away
She doesn't answer emails. She gives poor instructions as her instructions contradict each other. She gives different sets of directions for the same assignment in different places throughout blackboard. It is unclear what is being asked of you and she is very hard to contact. She doesn't give generous time for exams & quizzes. It is a big struggle
I took her 3 week accelerated online Macro class which was extremely difficult working full-time M-F, 9-5 with a child and being an only parent. She even says on the syllabus outline that this class is NOT meant for those who work FT. I defied that and took it anyway. SET A STRICT SCHEDULE FOR YOURSELF or take the full class in person.
She makes easy things extra hard and time consuming. She loves to fail students. I have a A average. Came to her office every week, did all my work and never missed a deadline still only got a C..... messed my GPA up by 0.3 points...
Very hard class but if you do the work you will pass NOT get an A but pass nonetheless.
She is one of the worst teachers surprisingly still teaching. Way too much work, sloppy, randomly chooses people to check if you did the hw, assigns hw but doesn't check, makes you spend $70 on my econ lab to do test every weekend. WILL RUIN YOUR GRADE
Macroeconomics is a challenging social science to comprehend. Unfortunately, this professor will not make things any easier. You will teach yourself everything, and ruin your social life. Definitely would not recommend her to a friend.
The study of Macroeconomy is a challenging subject but one that yields a wholesome appreciation if thoroughly understood. Unfortunately this professor's curriculum is obfuscating and overwhelming and her feedback is equally unhelpful. She does not check her e-mails even if you write to her multiple times. Too much work for one class. 2/10
Worst professor I have ever had
I'm currently taking this class and I am ready to DIE. So much work for one class; reading is massive, every weekend there's a online quiz, every week there's pretest in class, on things she didn't teach. I find her lectures awful. very unorganized on teaching the chapters. you have to teach yourself and till confused.
She is very disorganized. she does not give lectures just basically wastes the period. Her had writing is unreadable. The professor will have you subscribe to the news paper to complete pre-tests and final project. There are multiple pretests which she will have you outline chapters and take open note if notes arent good you cant take the test.
Did all the work, got 80s-95s on the test, went to her office hours almost every week. I got into a very bad accident and missed 2 1/2 of class. On the last day of class she told me I'll get an F for attendance bc I missed more than 6 hours of class knocked my grade down to a C.....
Quizzes each week, article reports every other week + mid term/final heavy portion of grade. Not hardest class but on your own with MEL. Good online class for self learner. WCC has it backwards-should be taking Micro/ECON102 with Ameen 1st then Connolly's, her class is tougher. Constant assignments make it easy to miss (zero) a few. Strict grader.
Horrible! Very unorganized and unclear. Even her e-mails are hard to read. Gives irrelevant assignments like watching movies and writing analysis in a GEOGRAPHY class! Doesn't even post the grades until the very end and all you see is your overall average instead of grades for papers and assignment. Can't tell you enough. HORRIBLE!
Tough grader, did an average of 80-85 on test, did all the homework, all the maps everything on time and still got a C+
Dont get me wrong she is a caring teacher but her content is so hard to understand and this is by far one of the worst classes I ever took in my life! I regret choosing her she uses index cards for participation which is extremely extremely annoying and makes the class less enjoyable everytime Im in that class I AM SCARED and it isnt enjoyable
Horrible professor, the whole course seems almost as if she is against you and wants the class to do poorly. Often insults the entire class/specific students, also teaches with zero clarity then gets mad when no one understands the topic. Assigns more random things than she can even keep up with. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
Horrible Professor. Disorganized, rarely answers emails, tough grader, and doesnt follow her own syllabus. I was averaging an A in the course, but had to withdraw because I couldnt deal with her nonsense and decided to just focus on my other classes. Trust me and the rest of the reviewers and avoid her!
Stay clear. I am a straight A student. This is the hardest class I have ever taken. This not being the work itself but the workload is absolutely ridiculous. I had to withdrawl. Her discussions make absolutely no sense. (20%) The quizes are weekly and are worth 20 percent of the grade. This much work should not be worth that little.
Where do I start first she gives so many assignments and half of them dont make no sense at all and they are extremely difficult like her research projects like the one she made me do for China which made no sense and on top of that she is making us take a final on top of this project what a great professor dont take her class at all waste of $
AVOID THIS CLASS!! My GPA fell because of HER, and now I need to repeat the class because I failed!! If you're taking her, get ready for HELL!!
Absolutely the worst professor that I have ever had the displeasure of having during years of studying at W.C.C. Never responded to questions via email and, or in person. Rarely provided adequate feedback following many assignments. So, there was continuous confusion over what was expected of students.
I mean just look at her ratings....
I just started and this is my first time taking Econ and i am having a hard time with this class, there are delays in responses its like i don't even know what i am doing
Great zoom teacher. Much more knowledgeable about the economy after taking this class.
I have been receiving mostly As and Bs in my classes through my time at WCC. This class will probably be the exception. She gives so much work, no person can maintain it without losing their sanity. She also never answers emails. I have submitted the same assignment twice and still have had no confirmation of reception. Seriously, avoid this class
This professor is awful. She spends an hour of the 1hr 15min class going on tangents about NOTHING and then starts the notes in the last 15 mins. Always goes way over time by 15-20 mins. Apparently homework does not count towards your grade. Her lectures make zero sense. For your own sake, do not take this prof. Your grades and sanity will suffer.
I took her class online. Quizzes are fair IF you read. The only issue was she did take a long time to respond and sometimes would lose track of assignments she already gave me feedback on (but she fixed this). There were weekly map quizzes & discussion posts, wasn't hard as long as you pay attention to due dates. The organization on BB is lacking.
The WORST grade I have ever seen, All of her homework assignments make no sense, just an all around bad teacher. I have never struggled with a Econ class before I took this class. If you want to keep your gpa intact, DO NOT take this class.
Terrible, terrible, teacher. Nothing makes sense in her class
Get ready for loads of work first of all, Second of all Economics is a terrible class. She doesn't make it any better. Super unclear and sways from topic to topic. Never stay on one point. Unorganized. Test Heavy.
