This class was a piece of cake. Granted there are assignements and quizes that need to be done once a week, if you read the text, you'll do fine. Also, the exams are based off the quizes, and the other half in the text...Easy class!!!

A very dry and hard to understand professor. She has a huge and i mean HUGE tendency to say UMM in her lecture. It contributes to about 90% of her lecture. Her test are ok and from quizzes. She flies through her notes, expects you to read the book/chapter prior to class and doesnt like to wait for slow note takers.

Easy class, 3 tests and drops the lowest one, also a final and a group project or paper. Must be in class for the pop quizzes but its kind of boring cause you can't understand her at times and she says umm alot but she is really nice and all you have to do is DO THE QUIZZES online and study those for the tests and you will get an A in the class.

I thought this class was going to be easy but I had trouble finding the answers in the book even after I read the material. I think that she did not even take into consideration how big her workload is. I think it is unfair to have 15 minute quizzes over 3 chapters. I expect a B (my 5 other classes this summer I expect all A's & they're harder)

If i could give Professor Malendevych 10 stars i would. First semester, one to remember. All the work was posted and if you needed help all you have to do is email her and she responds within a day. There was one book that the recommended and it was for you to understand more. She gives great feedback. Strongly recommend her. TAKE HER CLASS!!!

very great class. she allows you to take each exam with multiple attempts and posts practice tests that are very similar to the real thing. lots of room for error and learning. powerpoints can be lengthy but the rather easy exams make up for it. powerpoints are not overbearing and the information is easy to digest and remember; textbook helps

This class isn't even close to hard this is one of the classes that if you fail you didn't put in effort, as each assignment took about less than an hour only

Personally the professor herself is nice, but the course is a little much to be considered an elective. I had more work to do in this class that I have for any of my core classes. Also, the group project is very time consuming.

Easy A. Super caring and always willing to talk. She definitely cares about her students. There are very few assignments. Your grade is comprised of 3 tests and a short writing assignment. Would definitely take again

Very easy class. Just take it! lol. Your grade is based on 4 quizzes and one "project assignment" which was easy.

Only three exams, they weren't open note, they were proctored, and they were on six chapters. So little room to mess up. She made multiple scheduling errors and when students reached out to her, she avoided us and said "look at the schedule". She didn't even follow her schedule. Instead of taking suggestions, she posted "ted talks" on memorization.

DO NOT TAKE HER! Seriously trust me on this one. Tests are over 6 Chapters! You cannot use notes or book when taking since its lockdown and webcam. Not helpful at all when given feedback she asks for, does not provide adequate study material. Asked the class for someone to add her into our student group chat. Worst teacher i have taken at UCF.

Six chapters per exam (three total), proctored, no study guide provided so you are on your own to study. Three chapters every other week with extensive homework assignments. I would not recommend this professor for ANY course she teaches as I am a straight A student and barely skated by with a B.

Class is really easy but be prepared to teach yourself. Prof is very very kind and caring, she responds quick and seems to really care about her students. Class is done through Sage advantage which is one of the better platforms I've used for online classes. I'm taking another class with her in fall and I'm excited!

Professor Iryna Malendevych she is wonderful took her my first semester of UCF, She prepares you for careers in criminal justice, assignments are not hard, create an account for LinkedIn, a e-portfolio at the end of the semester which you get to show case your work. Nothing major and she gives a lot of examples how she wants the work done.

She wasn't bad, I could tell she cared because she wanted us to eagerly give feedback on what she can do better. My issue with this course was that the practice quizzes and the readings did not prepare you for the exam, a lot of the time I would find 95% of the exam to be things I never read or studied. The exams weigh heavy and they're cam proc'd.

This was the first class I had ever taken with Professor Malendevych and she was great. My only complaint which I expressed to her is there are so few assignments if you tank on 1 you risk dropping an entire letter grade. She is caring and does work with you if you have a legitimate reason and I would definitely take her again.

Worst Professor I've had at ucf. She has a terrible grading system where she will put points in periodically for assignments as the semester goes by. So up until half way through the semester EVERYONE was sitting on D's and F's as their overall grades. She gives no examples of how she wants things done for assignments but will grade harshly.

DO NOT TAKE HER! There are three exams, each over six chapters and even if you read the textbook which is where most of the assignments come from you will not do well. She would periodically put in points over the semester so at some times most students had D's or F's. She was also pretty rude when trying to ask for help or clarify things.

The class is decent, but the exams can be challenging. Attendance is mandatory, and the textbook is used. unstuck ai was helpful for exam prep alongside other study tools.

Honesty, this professor is not my favorite. Her class was super unorganized, and her grading style was never consistent. There was a big project in the middle of the semester that was locked until the week before it was due, so if you have a life outside of school, I would not take her.

there were 4 discussions, 4 applications and 4 proc'd exams. I would not take her again. her exams were unnecessarily difficult and no matter how much you study, her material will be very different from the exams. She did have extra credit but not worth much. If there's another professor for this class, take them.

Honestly, I was zoned out this entire class and still passed with an A. Just do the work and you'll be fine. She's also very quick to answer any questions you might have.

This was by far one of the worst classes I have taken at UCF. She never opens up assignment's on time and expect us to get it done in a short period of time. Her study guide is nothing compared to the proctored exams we had. I would not even bother taking this course if she's teaching it.

Very nice and kind lady, she runs her class to make it feel like an in person classroom when we are online, she likes to know what her students are doing outside of class and most grades are based off participation and effort, very good class and easy A as long as you read the textbook, however it is very content heavy chapters.
