Okay, Heres the thing. She is not very clear. Apparently she was better last semester, but now she sucks.Her tests are wicked hard, she tries to trick you.(Like saying well, who's smarter) Her stats are not accurate either. Just ask around.

She is difficult, unclear, and NOT willing to help you. I was told to "read the book" when I asked for help. She is so fast paced that you don't have time to really learn anything, but just get things done, if you even understand what you're suppossed to be doing. She has unreasonable expectations.

This the worst professor I've ever had. She is very disorganized and chaotic. She spends a big portion of the lecture talking about how she's a single 41 y/o that's been through several different men. She is very unprofessional. She doesn't know what she's teaching.

i would not ever recommend this women to anyone.. she was the worst teacher ihave ever had.. she is extremely unfair and unwilling to help you. her notes have nothing at all to do with whats on the test and when you ask for her help she gets aggrivated.. she sucks never take her trust and believe me

She is the worst pro. i have ever had and i am a senior psych. major. If you have a learning disability this lady is rude and clueless about accomidations. She needs to goto teaching school to learn how to teach and be enlightend that people have different ways of learning. **DO NOT TAKE HER**

the worst teacher I have ever had!

?

talks way too fast, notes she gives are mostly random factoids. when she wasn't giving useless notes, she made us present chapters out of books (which made up a large portion of class time). there was almost no reason to attend when you could just read for yourself. terrible class, terrible teacher

This woman is solely concerned with her outside grant projects and the money she is receiving for them. She has many other companies so her time is quite limited. I think out of every person I have ever met in all my travels all over the world that this lady is a psychological mess and a very dangerous person. She attacked me the 2nd day of class.

No Comments

I was thoroughly disappointed withher. She was rude, spiteful and outright mean to students. She actually read a student paper that she thought was terrible out loud to the rest of the class. I think she is unprofessional and wasted my time. I enjoy class and take pride in my work, but she ruined what could have been a fun and intersting class.

I am an older student who takes her classes seriously and this was the worst class I have ever taken. Do not take unless last resort! Very hard and confusing! Barely keeping afloat!

She allows you to use notes on the tests but her questions on the tests are so out of the blue. She has you read and write down questions regarding the text before almost every class and if you're thorough, it could take around two hours. Her lectures are not posted online and they mostly consist of confusing charts or pointless stock photos. WORST

she is very educated (she will tell you 794 times) she will basically belittle you if you struggle in classes. I witnessed her/she told us of how she basically treated people who didn't understand stuff. Also, told one class she would be there for the people she advises (when it came to e-mails) and told another class she just deletes them.

She is disrespectful and rude. She talks down to the people she is supposed to help. She basically told me I didnt belong in my major. This course is designed for her to be helpful and instead Ive left class feeling discouraged. I wish I believed the horror stories about her and just stayed away.

Shes absolutely no help. I left every class more and more confused. About mid semester after studying, taking notes, and hiring a tutor I finally caved and emailed her asking her for any advice on understanding the material. Her reply was thats extremely inappropriate of me to ask? and I should just drop her class and take the withdrawal

I do not recommend taking this professor, she is rude to her students and is not helpful what so ever. She is unfair and won't take your needs seriously if you need help, she would rather you drop the class. Very unpleased with the outcome of her teaching style and requirements for her class.

Worst professor and was absolutely no help whatsoever. When I got confused she told me I should have read the textbook “more accurately”. You teach yourself by reading the textbook and do a practice worksheet in class. Thats it. If you get stuck she just gives you the answer so you dont even learn.

awful awful awful. Do not take her if you need a high GPA. She will grade you based on her feelings on you. If you're a class pet typically, take her, she will grade you fine, but if you're a typical student who doesn't talk much, don't even think about taking her. She also stood in the room the whole time we did her evals.

terrible set up for research methods 2, had to drop the class. not helpful, not clear, not good at explaining things, not interesting. other profs have a much better way of doing RM2 so that you barely realize you're writing a 20 page paper. her setup made no sense, all over the place, not clear on what she wanted.

Wow. Never had such a tough grader. I am a straight A student, with a 77 in her class. Her comments on papers are soul-crushing to read. She sure knows how to destroy a student's confidence without any attempt at helping or inspiring. I highly advise against taking her. A professor at BSU in this department even said the same bad things about her!

Actually the worst. Expected us to know exactly what to do with very little direction. disorganized and will not be helpful if you ask a question or for clarification. I asked her for help and she straight up told me she "couldn't help" me and that everyone in the class was struggling so to get over it.

Avoid this professor at all costs. She's absolutely terrible when it comes to explaining what you need to know, so you basically have to teach yourself. She grades so harshly it's insane. And the thing is, you don't know what you did wrong because she never gives feedback until you email her and pressure her to give you proper feedback. Terrible.

This is the worst professor I had! I never failed a class until now. She's a tough grader! Only grades on accuracy, she does not care if you tried. Her lecture videos had nothing to do with the articles. It's very confusing. If you do poorly on one test forget it you failed the class. She gives no extra credit.

She grades on accuracy and not effort. If you are thinking about taking her I recommend taking literally anything else. Work is always hard and some of it seems unnecessary. If you're going to take it get ready to write every single week.

Please avoid this professor at all costs, I have never failed a course before taking her. Her assignments are so harshly graded, even if you put in effort she will give you a zero if it's not up to her standards. I emailed her asking for help and for extra credit opportunities, she gave me neither of those options.

I can't say enough bad things about Dr. Spievak. Talks down to you, doesn't help when you ask for it, and is not accommodating at all. When I told her I experienced test anxiety, she brushed it off by saying “I don't know what ‘test anxiety' is, but it's not going to work in my class.” Horrible professor, please avoid her at all costs

Professor is a tough grader. Terrible at answering emails. Do not recommend if not actually interested in the subject.

Wow, what a horror. I'm not too excited about her teaching style. Personally, I wouldn't recommend.

Please listen to all the negative reviews. I saw them all, and thought I could manage. I could not. She has a weekly assignment due every Wednesday. 3 questions, 300+ words each. She provides minimal to no feedback on these quizzes. She will take one point, two points, three points off and leave no feedback as to why or how to improve for next week

AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD AT BSU!!!!! PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER. NOTHING POSTED ON BLACKBOARD ALL YEAR, NEVER KNOW YOUR GRADE. I HONESTLY NEVER EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT. PLEASE STAY AWAY!

She was given this course last minute, so I was sympathetic and assumed it would improve. It did not. Her lectures are unfocused and disjointed, and her slides are only stock photos and have no terms. She grades pretty tough, and she doesn't put it on Blackboard. She can be very passive-aggressive when given feedback. Would not recommend.
