DO NOT TAKE DR CURRY. SHE IS A NASTY BITTER LADY. SHE DOES NOT WANT TO HELP YOU AND MAKES NUR 129 A WHOLE LOT HARDER THEN IT HAS TO BE..
This lady is ridiculous. She needs to realize how to actually teach a class and not run a board of directors meeting.
Terrible! she fooled me the first class because she comes across as nice and caring but she?s far from it. Most importantly, she cannot teach!A basic 129 course has turned into a major headache because of her lack of teaching.
She doesn't teach, you need to memorize the book. We had 13 chapters for the second test. Almost all essey questions on her exams. I don't recommend her !
AWFUL, Don't take classes w/her. Doesn't teach, Is very full of herself and how wonderful France is (she should move there altogether!)will give low grade just because she doesn't think anyone deserves an 4.0 AVOID!!
Avoid this professor if you can!!!! She expects you to know the whole entire text book for her exams. Give little notes and even smaller direction. She use to be the Dean so good luck complaining about her. She's set in her ways of teaching (from the 1900's). Or NON-TEACHING I should say. Take my advice and don't take her!!!
She seemed fair. You must read and memorize the textbook for her exams. We had 3 exams, a class presentation and had to attend a nursing association meeting then submit a paper on it.
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!! Avoid, avoid, and avoid this professor. You will do fine...if you moemorize the ENTIRE textbook!!!
She should stay in the research field, and stay as far away from the classroom as possible
Shes pretty tough and you have to read the textbook. Tests are based on chapter summaries of text. Shes boring as anything but cant say she didn't care about her students... she knew some of us had multiple finals and seemed to grade the final leniently.
Terrible professor, if you find out she is your professor I would drop or switch sections IMMEDIATELY. Save yourself a major headache. Organic Chemistry was easier than this basic nursing course because she turned it into a nightmare.
She is really nice but a terrible professor. A class that should be relatively simple turns into a nightmare. Gives you no idea what to study for her exams no matter how many ways you ask her and barely goes over the chapters in the book. Her choice of content on the tests is completely random leaving you out in the dark.
DONT DO IT! Her lectures are long and pointless. Everything is from the textbook and the tests are qustions from the most random miniscule fact in the chapters. This is a basic history of nursing class and she make it into 3 hours of mind-blowing pain...
dont do it to yourself. 129 is supposed to be an easy course but taking curry makes it impossible. she is super sweet and down to earth but a HORRIBLE professor. shes a harsh grader and will expect you to get an A on a test with 15 chapters and NO review WHAT SO EVER. she gets easily side tracked and wont discuss any course material during class.
Professor Curry is a nice + educated lady, but her teaching methods are HORRIBLE. If you're going to take her, you have to be the type of student to read the whole book and memorize EVERYTHING, WORD PER WORD (even the LITTLEST things!!!). She NEVER gives reviews and her EXAMS are 10 CHAPTERS long and very hard. Good luck if you're taking her!
DO NOT take this lady. Coming from someone who received a B+ , she is nice but the class is unbelievable. She gives no notes, and her lectures are completely pointless as they do not have anything to do with the tests. She will not help you on the tests and projects, and it just is not worth the major headache to take her.
She doesn't talk about the textbook in class OR TEACH. You must read every word in the textbook from cover to cover. Her tests only consist of 25 questions (fill in the blank, MC, T/F, essay) Impossible to do well in this class. She thinks this is the most important class you will ever take. DO NOT take her if you want to be in nursing and pass.
Very sweet woman but didn't teach or give notes for a supposedly easy course. If you want to teach yourself the course and have her give tests that are difficult, then by all means take her class.
im a straight A student im not lazy, she is terrible refuses to write any notes or use a powerpoint or give you handouts. expects you instead to read 7 chapter for one test & memorize every detail for the random fill in the blank test questions. save your GPA and take SOMEONE ELSE
DO NOT TAKE HER. No notes, power points or directions for exam. Went to see her for office hours and she dances around your questions. she seems so sweet but she is not. last exam had 7 chapters of reading and 25 questions and she gave NO DIRECTION on what to study. most lectures are spend talking about ebola!?!... DO NOT, DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!
The entire semester was frustrating because class is unstructured, unclear and examsassignments are graded harshly for what they are. If you're hoping to get a good grade or actually get something out of this class, I would take it with someone else.
Run for your life. she simply cannot teach and grading methods are out of this world. mush buy textbook and tech yourself. know every diagrams and every word in the book.
I would avoid her for nursing research. She is unclear about what she wants. Her tests are 10 question short answers and she doesn't give you any guidance on what you should focus on. She also doesn't teach material but rather talks about what is going on in the news that week. You will have to teach yourself.
She makes the easiest class very difficult. Her tests are fill in the blank with opened ended, very general questions and although there are many answers, she expects you to know which one she is looking for. Also lectures are insanely boring. The class should be easy and fun but with her it's not. Avoid taking her classes at all costs.
all the other reviews are pretty accurate. the class has no direction and out tests are trivial. impossible to study for.
She is the toughest professor I've had so far. I decided to take her despite all the comments I read. She does not teach at all, spends the whole class talking about the news. Her test questions are unpredictable. Her grading is 20% test 1, 15% paper, 20% test 2, 15% presentation, and 30% final. Good luck.
Sweet lady, but very hard grader.
Dr. Curry is nice. But grading criteria and what she is looking for is not clear. Tests are short answer and multiple choice And gives you no idea what you need to study. However I studied hard and did well in the class. I would recommend taking someone else for this class.
Thought she was a very fair professor. Provided help and feedback to students when they asked for it and she's very sweet. Yes lectures can be long, and she doesn't tell you verbatim what's on the test but if you read and look at the chapter summaries you'll do fine.
Do not take her if you want to have a solid foundation for your nursing career.
Never take her. She was extremely unclear with grading and didn't seem to understand her own rubric. I went to my advisor and was told that she does this every semester to multiple people. I refuse to ever have to deal with her again. Never worked so hard for such a low grade in my life.
Lectures are informative because she is really knowledgable but don't really relate to exams. She is VERY opinionated. You have to read or you won't pass, even if you do read there's a chance you might not do well on the exam. Exams are mostly fill in, no review, you really need to put in a lot of effort. Need to read before lecture to participate.
this is supposed to be an easy introductory class where you learn about history and policy. I know so many people that failed because of her and had to wait another semester
Don't take her. there is no way you can pass her class. she will test you on the most tedious detail from the entire book with no guideline!.. i am a straight A student, barely passing her class after studying HOURS for her tests while she talks about the news the whole class time.
You MUST READ the chapters before going to class. Dr. Curry talks about the news and she also has interesting stories to share. She does not give any notes or powerpoint slides. However, during her lecture, she POINTS out certain topics; so make sure you study those topics. Also, READ the chapter highlights. She is willing to help if you ask for it
She is never very clear what she is looking for and she is also a very tough grader. This class is very easy but she definitely makes you work for it. She means well and is a very nice woman, but she is not the best teacher. She gives one quiz, a midterm, a final, and a research paper. The quiz, midterm, and final are essay questions.
does not teach from the book yet expects you to know everything in the book. does not give an outline or general idea for exams. 3 exams a paper and a presentation for an intro class. should be an easy A but it's the complete opposite
Professor Curry is a very nice lady but she makes the class 10X harder than it should be. She isn't clear with what she wants on her exams and is very tough grading them. Be ready to read the textbook because you will be verbalizing everything from there on the tests. You only take a quiz, the midterm, a paper and a final. Be ready to really study.
THIS PROFESSOR IS BY FAR THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN! EVERYTHING I HAVE READ IN THE REVIEWS ARE 100% ACCURATE. IM A TRANSFER STUDENT WHO GRADUATED WITH HONORS, I DON'T SLACK AND I FULLY DEDICATE TIME TO MY SCHOOL WORK. SHE DOES NOT LECTURE, TALKS ABOUT THE NEWS, NOT CLEAR WHAT IS ON THE TEST. NO POWERPOINTS! JUST READ ON YOUR OWN.
She is a very nice professor but lectures are boring and she dosnt even talk about what will be on the exams. Test are primarily fill in the blank. Should be an easy A but its the complete oppsite
Most unnecessary class this program has to offer: full of information about the nursing profession, yet it's information that does NOT warrant any exams (or a cumulative final). This professor exists to make nursing students' lives more miserable, by not going over anything in lecture, then expecting them to memorize the textbook. DO NOT TAKE HER!
Professor. Curry is one of the toughest graders at Molloy. If you can, don't sign up for this class with her. She means well, and yeah she's super knowledgable, and sometimes provides interesting stories, but in reality you're going to talk about current events in every class. Do yourself a solid and choose another professor!
don't ever take her, don't read the book it won't help her tests have nothing to do with the book she doesn't go over the chapters is not accessible outside of the class and doesn't care to help you. its 129 supposed be to a beginning class not a 300 class
This is the worst professor I've ever had in my entire college career & it was for a class that should've been an easy A. We have a 3 hr lecture and speak about things going on in the news for 2 of them. complete waste of time. she probably has went over the class material for 60 minutes through the entire semester. STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT TO PASS
Prof Curry is one of the sweetest women at Molloy. Although her teaching methods are different and strange, I totally respect her in the school and in the field. She is very intelligent. But when it comes to the class she is sometimes hard to follow. So proceed with caution but if you got to know her like I did you'll love her.
Do not take. Truly a terrible professor. She is a sweet woman but you will not learn anything from this class. I regret not switching in the beginning. Should be an easier class but is definitely not
She is sweet, but shawty straight up TALKS for 1 hour and 50 minutes. I feel like I am not learning because I am a visual learner. There are no power points and no review sheets for her class. There are no resources to study from except for the textbook. There's so much information in the textbook and she does not break it down for us.
Do NOT take her !! Im telling yall right now dont do it. Nurs129 is supposed to be way easier and talking to other students in other classes, thats exactly how it is for them. Prof. Curry is a sweet lady BUT she doesnt teach at all!! I know more about her grandkids then the nursing profession. She just tells you to read the book and thats it.
This class is going to make you work for your grade! Dr. Curry is a kind and caring women and if you have a problem she is definitely someone to go to! The tests were difficult for many and be sure to bring your paper to the writing center because you will bee shocked on the grade you receive if you don't. READ THE BOOK it just might save you!
Her lecture consists of conversations about current events pertaining to nursing and an extremely brief talk about the material she requires you to read for each class. She does not use powerpoint nor will she point to any specifics just says if you read the book you know whats on the test. Beware she does add nonsense questions to the exam.
She really is a sweet lady however she is very unclear about the requirements for tests and assignments. Her tests are all written short answers that pretty much require you to spit back definitions from the text, and she grades tough. Her methods need to be updated severely. She is doable, but she is difficult. Be prepared to work hard.
Prof. Curry is really a sweet lady with a lot of accolades, however this class with her is unfortunately unnecessarily hard and painful. Two quizzes, one midterm, final, paper and presentation. May sound like a lot but it's not. She's a very VERY strict grader and will give you feedback. I'm praying and manifesting HARD for a passing grade
definitely do not recommend at all. lectures consist of nothing to do with the course outline and she does not explain at all what she wants for assignments and is very unreasonable with grading and favors. Her lecture consists of conversations about current events pertaining to nursing and an extremely brief talk about the material she requires.
Worse professor I have ever had!!! She makes no sense, doesn't teach, not fit to be a professor, doesn't help her students during office hours, no power points, no notes, no review sheets, nothing! I've learned more from a textbook than I have from her. DO NOT TAKE!
This should be your easiest nursing class but she make it so hard. If you can dont take her.
I had no choice in choosing a research professor because she was the only one left. This class is hard work, dont expect to learn from lectures. need to read the textbook. I recommend reading the chapters for the week before class, take notes, and read the summaries. I somehow got an A in this class, which is unheard of. Very sweet prof & smart.
Professor Curry seems to be unwilling to adapt to the goals of students today. She had a hard time communicating the relevance of the aspects she was trying to teach which lead to the test questions seeming aimless. Undoubtedly a kind person with great nursing skills. Poor approach to passing it forward. Challenge yourself with someone else.
Dr. Curry is really very sweet, class is filled with lots of stories and she truly cares about her students well being. That being said... she does not give ppts or review sheets, lectures do not cover ANY real material, your tests will be completely out of left field (even if you read the book cover to cover). Prepare to go in blind to every test
Professor Curry's lectures are extremely vague. She does not tell you what will be on the tests. Tests are unpredictable even if you read through the text. Avoid her at all costs!
This is the worst class, I ever took in all of my schooling. I never failed a test or left a a class with a "C". Everything your reading about her is true. Don't convince yourself that it wont be that bad because she is the only professor at 5pm. Again DO NOT TAKE HER!! NO EXAGGERATION!!
Everything you are reading is true. This class is ridiculous. She is extremely vague in lecture, about assignments, and on her grading rubric. She will lecture for 15 minutes of the 2 hour class. Provides no real feedback on anything. Takes forever to grade. Study exactly what's said in lecture and get background from the book. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!!
She is a very nice woman but don't let that fool you. PLEASE I BEG DO NOT TAKE HER, you will end up throwing your money down the drain. Took her 2 months to grade a 3 pg paper. No notes, lectures do not make any sense. IDK how I study for her exams. I will probably be waiting another two months to get my final grade
If you want to spend your semester completely clueless on what to do then Curry is your woman! She talks and talks and talks about nonsense then asks about the nonsense on the test. The textbook had to be read but barely any questions were on the test from the textbook. No clear instructions for anything. Stay away!She makes a 2 credit class hard.
Avoid this professor at all costs. She's nice & cares about her students but will not prepare you at all for exams or assignments. She doesn't teach material from the book, every lecture is just a recap of what's going on in the world health wise. Test questions are either from the book or about random topics briefly discussed in class, so awful
Absolutely horrible. Took this class online and her not being great with technology did not help. The other reviews are right, all she does is talk about current events and does not go over any material. Be prepared to study and read the textbook for hours on your own just to receive a mediocre grade. DO NOT TAKE. Horrible introduction into nursing
Do not take this professor. She does not teach or provide any help to you. You need to read the textbook and even if you do you still have no idea what's on the test. She does not teach at all. She just goes on tangents about random things in class. This is the worst intro to nursing I think I could have ever taken.
The worse professor I could have ever taken my whole nursing career. Talks about nothing the entire class, can easily end the class early but talks about nonsense the entire class. Should be fired honestly, if you are stuck taking her good luck. You will learn nothing, waste of time and a class.
Heed all of the warnings here. I thought the reviews were exaggerating, but no. She is a very nice and caring woman, but there is no direction given on course content, no preparation for exams, & very few assignments carrying the grade. You also need to make appointments just to get your grades so don't know your standing in class. Take anyone else
DO NOT TAKE HER. She is horrible... goes over nothing in class. It's a 2 hour class and only 15 minutes of the class is going over the actual information you need to know the rest is her talking about random things. She is the worst and doesn't care about her students. No extra credit and there is no wiggle room when she grades. good luck
If I can give her less than a 1 I would. The worst teacher ever, teaches nothing during class and is a huge waste of time. It so frustrating hearing other kids passing research with flying colors and I am stuck with the worst professor in Molloy. If you value and care about your grades do not take her!
Please do not take this class, if you care about your grade. She does not teach and it is so hard to pass her class. Please avoid, please!
Horrible professor!! She is so difficult for no reason and gives no room for any mistakes. Take her if you want to waste your money and fail. She talks all day about nonsense and then gives you such difficult exams. One of the worst professors Ive ever had. All I have to say is save yourself the headache and money and take someone else.
Where can I find a 0 to rate her, horrible teacher do not take her!! My one question is how does Molloy let someone like her be a representative for nursing. You will only pass by the luck of god. She made an easy class so difficult dont take her and if you do good luck!!
If you have the chance to get out please do so. Exams are terrible. You will feel blind sided no matter how well you studied. You learn absolutely nothing which sucks because Molloy is expensive. Expects students to attend office hours. Also expects you to know information not taught or on the syllabus. Only good thing I can say is she is kind.
AVOID this professor. Does not teach. She is a hard grader when it comes to papers. Exam questions are random. She will NOT prepare you for exams - instead tells you the exam is "on the book." Will not admit when she makes mistakes and places the blame on the students. 0/5. Nice lady, but worst professor I have ever had.
Let me start this off by saying that she is the worst professor Ive ever encountered in my whole existence. She doesnt give any materials to study with, so we find ourselves blind-reviewing EVERY exam. Not to mention, she teaches a whole different topic than what is on the syllabus. SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND MONEY AND LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT PROF!!
This is the worst professor I have ever taken. AVOID HER!!!!! she does not teach and expects you to know everything on tests. no PowerPoints, the lectures are not even about nursing or the book; literally current events that have nothing to do with nursing. she's rude and blames students for things that happen due to her lack of teaching.
Do NOT take this Professor! She does not teach during class! All we did was discuss current events and go over the textbook reading for 15 minutes. Tests/quizzes are all short answer & graded harshly, along with the article critique and presentation. I unfortunately feel I wouldve been interested in this class if I wasnt so worried about passing.
If you like to read then by all means take this professor. No power points involved. She will talk about random things not involving the lecture and expects you to have the chapters read before class. Unclear about any assignments she assigns and tests she gives makes no sense. Also will teach for the whole lecture. GOOD LUCK.
She is such a sweet woman. I took her for research at 7:30 at night and she made it interesting by always trying to have everyone talk and participate. The only thing I didnt like were her exams were fill in, but it gave you an opportunity to explain your thoughts so it wasnt bad. Tests were 10 questions and final was 30. Overall not bad
She is a nice lady but does NOT teach during class, all she talks about is things that are not related to research. She gives tests/quizzes without any guide on what to study for and if you ask her what to focus on she will say read the textbook. Definitely take a different professor for research if you care about your grade.
All of the negative reviews are for good reason. She has 0 structure to her class, rambles about useless topics and tells you to just read the book. Her grading is asinine all the while expresses wanting to help you but is completely inflexible. Trust me, save your grade and your mental health. Avoid her like Chernobyl.
DO NOT TAKE!!!! She is an awful professor that doesn't teach. She does not use PowerPoint (or the computer), talks about random things in class, and gives tests that are fill-in-the-blank only... She is a tough grader as well. The only resource she uses is the textbook so you need to read it well before any exams. Try to take a different professor.
This professor talks a lot & most of the time goes off-topic. She doesn't provide power points on the lesson, she expects you to read everything and doesn't specify what the future exams will hold. Her office hours will probably give you brownie points, and ask questions because she is very unspecific with her tasks. Paper & pencil exams
Dr. Bernadette Curry is an AMAZING professor. Her lectures show how much she truly cares for her students and how passionate she is about nursing. This course is a little challenging but Dr. Curry is always happy to go over material and previous assignments during office hours. Be sure to participate in class and the read the chapters!
If you like having your hand held every step of the way ,whether from laziness, entitlement, or deficiency in your ability to self-educate, then she is not for you. Engage with her in lecture and the reward will be a fruitful experience. You truly get what you give with her. Stiff upper lip and hit that text hard, and you will breeze right through.
Talks about nonsense and exams are really random.
Avoid her if you can. She lectures about nonsense and tests on nuance knowledge. The only way I got an A- in her class was because I made an appointment with her every single week during office hours and would listen to her tangents. If you get stuck taking her, office hours and class participation are required to get the A.
Avoid this professor at all cost! She has no PowerPoints, goes on rants about current events and will test you on the smallest things from the textbook. You will be teaching yourself in this class. Still uses paper tests and will make mistakes on grading unless you personally review your test each time.
Do not waste your time and money buying that textbook or reading it! She will test you on the most random things she says. She will test you on ONE thing she said ONCE. Her tests are HARD and she's STRICT on grades. There's a paper and oral presentation. She also doesn't give grades back for months. I am an A student and this class felt impossible.
Bernadette Curry is the worst professor I have ever taken. She takes months to give grades back, her lectures have nothing to do with nursing. The tests have questions about things she brought up ONCE in class. She does not use powerpoints. If you have the opportunity to take this class with another professor I definitely would. Transfer out ASAP!
