Everything was well organized and ready for each week, but then again this was an online class. She seemed nice, until I asked her for help and she made it seem like I was stupid because I didn't already know. Isn't that why she is here? To help me learn? So, if I have a question she should have helped me. That is what we pay professors to do-TEACH

There wasn't much to it. Although, somethings were kind of confusing the way she assigned certain things. For example, she'll give you an assignment to watch 5 hours of tv and write about it, but then take points off because you didn't use your book even though it says to watch tv, not read your book and talk about it.

I'm typically an A student, but this class was just ridiculous. She uses the harder grading scale(100-93, 92-85,etc.) rather than the typical one. She also grades papers fairly hard and is very strict when it comes to APA. Probably the worst part is that she takes the class so seriously and always wants to take about people's "feelings".

Prof. Landy is honestly the worst professor I've had in my academic career. She posts due dates for comments on discussions instead of the actual discussion so you end up missing the homework and getting a zero. If you ask for help, she is not helpful at all and makes you feel stupid. Worst class I've ever had.

I had no trouble with this course; as long as you adhere to her very clear grading guidelines, you should have no problems. Weekly quizzes and discussions and a final exam. Final exam is quite difficult since its fill in blank and time sensitive, expect it to bring your grade down a few points. This class takes some effort, but it's manageable.

She is very STRICT on deadlines so pay attention! Final is FILL-IT-IN I didn't study and got a C- for reference. Shes SUPER strict with AI detection and was about to report me for 9% AI report on my 3k word essay. I spoke with her where this was resolved. This class took a lot outa me but if you read everything and dedicate time you should do ok.

Worst professor at FGCU. She was rude, calls all her students dumb, and says we don't deserve to graduate with out her say so. She enjoys making her students fail and tries her hardest to do that with ai accusations with no evidence. This professor needs to be fired so her torment on students can end. DO NOT TAKE HER PLEASE!!

She is the worst professor I have had taken here at FGCU, it's embarrassing that they have someone like her hired.
