She's adorable and she loves Psychology. She's always sharing stories about her own personal life. She does show a few boring videos, but they're tolerable. She doesn't give much work, except for taking notes on every chapter which she allows to use on quizzes. She also lets you have a partner on tests and use two index cards. She's a cute lady.

Psych of Women is an interesting class but the workload is ridiculous; it's as if she does not realize that some of us have other classes.

She knew what she was teaching but the constant emails and blackboard notifications were so extreme. She'll send out 15 notifications within 3 minutes almost everyday. And although she knew what she was teaching, at times it too fast-paced and sometimes it was just so information given at once.

Professor knows what she's talking about & is always interested in hearing your thoughts & perspective. Her insight & lessons changed how I view our society & my life. I thought she allowed students to push her back on assignments but there is a lot of thought-provoking homework. Excellent professor!

As a person shes really nice and cares about her students, but I have never received so many emails from a professor in my academic career. Be prepared to receive at least 6-7 emails a week, there's a lot of quizzes and tests but they are all online and straight from the book. You will need the book but there are ways to get it for cheap.

If you value your sanity, do not take this Professor. She gives an unnecessary amount of work due on random days. With this class you will have NO free time.

If you want to actually learn something about social psych good luck. She does not teach you anything that has to do with Social Psychology. She only cares about sharing her political views and making sure you feel awkward about discussing current topics because how dare you be comfortable. You have to rely solely on teaching yourself to pass.

Awful professor. She thinks its ok to post way too many tests and quizzes. You will have no life with her. 1 week before the semester and she thinks its ok to post 10 assignments. Gives texts and quizzes before she even goes over the content. Makes you watch way too many videos and articles. Youll spend hours on end watching video. Zero learned.

Professor Filardo cares about her students, but she is continuously pushed by her liberal political views, usually demonizing conservatives, and denoting America as racist and if you are white, prepare yourself, because you will feel truly uncomfortable. She gives homework. They are usually personal thinking. However, you will need the book.

If you value your sanity do not take this class. You will do work for this class more than any others. This elective class isnt worth that. The tedious tests on every single thing you do in class will drive you crazy. I felt as if I learned nothing in this class. She had no regard for your feelings.

Worst professor Ive had. The endless notifications and emails will drive you crazy. Tons of tests and quizzes every week. Keeps posting new tests till the very end of the semester. I had more for this class than my major requirements. Hold onto your sanity.

she is such a sweet lady but she gives entirely so much work. She gives so much work that it kind of steers you away from liking the course itself. If she would cut back on some of the workload it would be easy to manage .

Bless her heart honestly. She has an agenda of preach feminism to the max. Test and quiz heavy . A lot of bb notifications . Last exam was movie based and it was just a disaster ! If you like listening to a professor talk and talk then this is the professor for you . I was disappointed at her final , not a fair lesson planning.

Dr. Filardo is a very intelligent person and you take what you put in with her. You learn what you put into the class! She is very understanding and lenient but she does have hard deadlines. It is a very test heavy class but they're very clear. I would recommend her if you are open-minded and want to learn about the application of social psych.

this professor does not teach. all she does is make us watch videos or movies and answer 30 or more questions. when she isnt spending all class time playing videos, she lectures on her research and her thesis and what she has studied through her career. she is very nice and super sweet, but i would never take a class again.

At first I was apprehensive about having a white professor for this course simply because of the material being covered surrounded racism. However, Dr. Filardo is a phenomenal professor in this topic and is a well educated ally. The topics covered were very interesting and created great class discussions and the assignments were fun.

She is a professor who has a lot of passion for what she is teaching. She is not perfect but she does her best to understand and that is the best part about her teachings. She does however post a lot of notifications on canvas, most filler and she assigns a lot of homework. There is a lot of reading but honestly, it gave me a whole new perspective.

Across the board she is really well-educated in what she teaches and it shows in her lectures. I learned a lot throughout the semester and the additional material (like films or articles) helped bring concepts to the real world. The workload can be a bit overwhelming so you definitely need to have good time management. Participate and go to class!

Took this course with the professor and was initially apprehensive, but they turned out to be a great ally. Interesting topics and engaging discussions. Assignments were fun too. Unstuck AI was a helpful study tool.
