This prof is super nice! She has fun powerpoint lectures and gives tips during class for the exams! She is by far the nicest, youngest, and HOTTEST prof I ever had!! You want to take her class! Trust me ;) A++++++++
No Comments
Amasing lecturer. know's her stuff. As smart as she is beautiful.
This prof has gift for inspiring students. She comes across as knowledgeable and passionate. Many professors are knowledgeable but that does not mean they know how to teach. She is very open to students' thoughts and opinions. There is much to say about a prof that is smart yet humble.
I learned a lot about life and people in this class. My life will never be the same. Psychology is not what you think it is...it is more.
I first thought this professor was too hard. I am a media student and I don't know why we have to take psychology. But after i got used to the class i found it very interesting and i also did better. So i guess guess my advice would be to hang in there.
Was gunna A'ce the class, but that rack made sure i was lost for the first half of the class ne ways.. a lively and fun prof none the less and would suggest u attend class, well i really think u probably would after seeing a glimpse of her
she makes complex ideas easy to understand, clear-headed, structured, engaging and has a sense of humour.
She is a very gud teacher.
She's understandable and very clear when speaking.
She appears to nice but I don't know about her teaching methods though.
ever wonder why 95% of her students are man?
she breaks things down so any idiot can understand. i like the stories she tells about life and stuff. it helps understand psychology ideas. if u r a guy it will b hard to focus because she is very hot. do ur work and u'll be fine. good luck ppl.
She is a fun teacher...maybe because she is sooooo young! Get over yourselfs people...don't you think she notices you stare?
AMAZING AND HOT!
Good teacher - clear in teaching and expectations. Does not give away marks - Do your work and earn the credit. Attendance very important. Approachable, and helpful.
At least one thing can be deduct from her class is that she must have a large closet at home:-p. And yes, Ms. Hodara is a very nice teacher, she cares.
She's a very good teacher. I got a very high mark in her class and mainly that's because I did the work and put an effort into it. If you wont do the work, chances are you will fail.
Ms. Hodara is a brilliant teacher, he language skills are superb, even though I don't believe English is her first language. She has a simple philosophy. Work hard and your marks will reflect that. Shes a wonderful teacher, I developed a bit of a crush on her lol, shes gorgeous (its the only reason i had a hard time paying attn in class)
At the beginning she seems hard but things get easy towards the end. She helped me a lot even though i believed i was failing.
She's a great teacher. She explains the material VERY well, to make sure everyone knows it. If you do your work, you will do well. She gives great examples to help describe the topic. Don't piss her off as she seems like the type of person to flip out, but she's very attractive and that makes sure everyone pays attention and keeps everyone in line
Fantastic teacher. Not the easiest class, but if you show up and do all the work it's a breeze. She's also very genuine and human. Nothing fake or unreasonable about her, which is probably my favorite thing about her. Attendance is mandatory, but the classes are so interesting I'd go even if I didn't have to. Did I mention she's also smoking hot?
I loved this teacher! I learned so much in her classes. I went in thinking its a boring comm class and came out learning a lot about life. I have to say she is not easy and the material takes hard work. She is fair and she knows her staff. Don't expect her to dish out the notes and make your life easy. At the end you will learn a lot.
Sorry guys. I am also male, but I'll base my comments on teaching ability alone. Did not explain sufficiently, did not hand out slides with key points (unlike most other teachers). The course could have been better taught.
Very smart and insightful!
Gud teacher just watch out ur attendance
Meh. Didn't love the subject to begin with, alright teacher...not particularly easy to fail
The best teacher I had this semester. I would not have stayed in my program unless it was for her. Really cares about students.
Will just say skip it if you can.
This teacher never shares any slide of her power points for us to review after the class, that can be reasonable because any work in Canada has copyright. Then, this teacher didn't tell us anything about each test when we got the final grade, I might be a little bit confused, but I still believe that she could have given us more information for us.
Take this class if you want to learn about human behavior at a high level. She is not easy because things are not dumbed down like other professor do. Her class is more about facts then typical stories. I transferred from another professor who was a total flake. FYI she does not give notes.
I really liked this teacher. I didn't get the highest grade but learnt a lot. More about life and people. I like the use of internet fun. I liked working with others in class. I would take this course again just to relearn anything I missed the first time.
Probably the best class I have taken at the college. It was online with lots of things to do and read. Lots of psychological experiments. Just changed my life. I have a different meaning for happiness and life now. Prof very very attentive. Answers messages in under a minute mist of the time. You have to learn as you go in your pace.
Oshrat is a very tough but fair marker as she clearly explains what is expected from you. She is also very quick to respond to messages you send her. However, there is an excessive amount of reading and way too many assignments in this class.
All I am going to say is wow. Every day wow. Yes, sign me up for all her classes.
This course did not make me happy. It was the only course that caused me stress. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE
Took her Creative Thinking Online course. WAY more work than an actual sit-in course. TERRIBLE. No consideration for people's ACTUAL field of study, I think there's a complex with online classes.
Do not expect free grades, she gives ok feedback on the activities. Lots of reading. The quizzes, and tests are 100% from the book material and nothing from what she posts online.
This course made me unhappy, full of stress and anxiety, too much assignment, I never ever took this course AGAIN!
You have tons of things to do every week. But wait a second!!!! you don't know if those works of yours are even gonna be graded. That means- U did mini experiment, 500 words assignment, 250 words assignment.. But, you aren't sure whether all of these are gonna be graded. I wish i never had taken her. My worst decision at Seneca life
The worst teacher I've ever had! Tbh I'm not a lazy student (I got 4.0 in all previous semesters) but was so stressed in her class. A LOT OF homework every week. She won't grade for all your work but will grade the worst you did or you didn't do, you will get zero often. Her critics for project group wasn't clear. Gave grade based on her feeling.
Not a moment that I don't regret taking a subject with her. Unclear on which week is important. You write assignments every week but she randomly selects the week for which she will give you a grade. I missed one week's assignment and she marked me for that assignment although I told her the reason too. She does what she feels like doing.
The only course that allowed me to develop my own thing. I did a project that I actually developed later on. I only gave her a 4 because I dont like the group work. There were a lot of lazy students in the class that slowed me down. I didnt like working with my partner. They just wanted it to be easy. I really wanted to get the most from it...
Didnt like the group work. I prefer to work on my own project. I rated it high because its the only course that allows me to be creative. I like learning about this because I am an artist.
I really like the course because it helped me in life. I like the assignments and cool videos. It is a lot of work and a lot to read.
Better than the other options I had. The only thing i didnt like is the kids in the class. A group of students just wanted to team up and cheat as much as possible cause it was online. They wanted everyone to be with them. I felt it was a bad scam cause they got caught.
do not take her. please do not take her. she doesnt help and she will give you a bad grade after working hard. she gets very happy to make your life hard. she does. she will not give you feel back after quiz so you can fix your mistakes for the next quiz. she wont help you even if you reach out and ask for help.
All I gotta say is her 5% quizzes are 44 questions...
1 hr quiz with 44 question which 2 of them were matching and each matching questions had 8 to complete. how can anyone complete that long of a quiz and its only worth 5% she would be so happy to make everyone stress and depressed at this time of pandemic. i cry and cry to sleep many nights... please do not take her, if you want to be happy
Worst . She made my life miserable . I wonder how I am still alive after taking her course . She literally made me cry like I cry when I cut onions . Huh dont take this course
The wroth professor I ever had. Dont take her
Do not take this professor, if you want happiness dont take her. She will give you bad grades for no reason
I always had good grades in all my semester 3.9 GPA and this class made my GPA go down. She gave me horrible marks in everything. This course made me so depressed
She doesnt respond well to emails. She grades like she doesnt care. Her feedback is terrible! Just puts in in heavy words and does not explain assignments well. Clearly she just puts things there for someone to figure out like they are in a PHD class!! How awful!
This professor is really very horrible one. I havent seen professor of this sort before. She think she blindly mark things. She is very touch at grading. She barely explain anything.
This class was interesting because you basically have to teach yourself! The teacher was helpful the one time I asked for help but I really don't like the amount of group assignments due at the end of the semester. My overall happiness level declined taking this course.
I wanted to take a Psychology course because I love the subject, but this professor ruined it for me. The content was super interesting but when it came to written assignments and weekly activities, this prof was such a tough and selective grader. I'm an A average student, and I was getting a D in her class. I was able to bring it up to barely a C
This class was very interesting. The work was not easy but the tests were ok. I really appreciate doing the work on my own time. Didnt like the group work so much.
Best course at the college. I love creativity because its my passion. I now understand so much more about it. Basically got grades for creating a project I thought about all my life.
I like this class. I like professor to. I dont like group work. Group of girls just schem to cheat all class. If you read this, you should know. They dont want to do work. Good students get blame.
The teacher expects too much from students and is a tough grader for no reason. Don't expect to get an A, I find it impossible. I'm reading the book, going through all the materials, making notes and I can't get beyond B. Same with some of my friends that took his class before. Don't expect announcements a few days before the test or other work.
she was the only professor that graded people so hard, work was not check just graded based on her mood. wouldn't read a thing you write. just grad you like that and write feedback thats not even true.
it is an asynchronous course but I expected some form of excercises or something to stimulate us in this course instead she tells you to buy an expensive book. read the book and the questions in the test barely cover the content that is discussed in the book instead she brings up some wierd situtaions to apply the content in the book. worst course
There's is no correlation to the textbook and the actual course projects, they're basically just product design projects. Probably the worst prof I've ever had, she is very vague assigning work, and very vague when giving feedback. Made us redo a project on reading week, doesn't seem to care about her students.
She doesn't provide good feedback or even let you see your mistakes on your quiz, I mean I understand not showing test papers. but if you don't see what mistake you made how are you going to learn from it? would not recommend her for any of her courses
Unfair in grading, followed all the feedback I was given and I know my papers are worth more than a 60% Would literally rather do anything than being put in a class with this prof ever again.
The teacher do not understand students. She wants the PHd standard work from a certificate student. Never expect A/B from her. very rigid and power shower. I will never her course and I definitely not recommending. I wish I saw her rating and comments before choosing this course. She totally destroyed by overall result.
I wont recommend.
This professor has not given clear lectures and does not upload content to refer back to throughout the course. Had a paper that had to relate to course context for grades yet there was no course context to refer back to or refresh my memory. Would not recommend this professor to anyone that would want to succeed in their career.
Worst professor ever! Course was asynchronous & that's ok, but this professor, didnt even put an effort into making a lecture video to upload for the class, every week its "read chapter", "watch this ted talk". then this professor have the audacity to give low marks. PSY222 Psychology of Happinness and yet this professor only brought me pure misery
I really wish I could drop this class, the professor is one of the most difficult people I have ever encountered in my life. She says things like because I said so, because that's what I want, because I prefer this, and make you redo things even tho it 100% follows the rubric, I will be reporting her to the dean, please do not take this course
BAD PROFESSOR DON'T TAKE ANY CLASESS WITH HER SHE NEED HELP WITH HERSELF SHE HAS NO MERCY AND NEED TO LOOK AROUND THE WORLD , TO SHE THAT SHE'S AWFUL SHE DID NOT RESPECT ANY SITUATION, IF YOU ARE SICK OR PREGNANT , OR HAVE AN EMERGENCY. I HOPE YOU HAVE BAD DAYS ALWAYS
If you're taking this just for the credit, just take something else. It's not worth the frustration!!! Just a product development course with no real ties to the textbook material. Forced group project, and you can never truly tell what she wants when grading. Skip.
Never again. Made me lose my honours standing. Unbelievably unreasonable.
This was the worst professor I've ever had in my life. She has students read a book but doesn't post any comments or lectures about it. She's contradictory in her instructions, and her assignments don't fit the course material. She takes too long to reply to e-mails, and disregards students' issues. Stay far away from this professor.
Instructions are NEVER CLEAR. she will tell you to write an essay about points 1, 2 & 3 and then complain that the main point of the assignment was point 3 without explaining that in the instructions. her marking is never accurate idk if English is her first language but she had a lot of issues understanding common sentences that other profs didnt.
throughout my college years ive never rated a professor negatively until now. my GPA is at a 3.7. I average As lowest Bs in all my courses except this one. I never fully understood what I was doing in this class, I was at a 50% for majority of the course, the midterm was open book and I managed to fail with a 40% I don't think she marks accurately.
Absolutly stay away from this professor. She made us read 300 pages textbook for a compressed 7 weeks course. She does not even bother herself to make any PowerPoint slides or any other thing except reading 300 pages book. She is so rude and a terrible marker. I was in college for 3 years and never had this experience with my professors.
not helpful at all, bad experience. had to drop the course. professor did not consider i was having technical issues in my midterm and refused elaborate.
when taking this course online, it was hard to understand the content with out any online classes. The textbook was hard to understand sometimes and not have much time to read it with other courses. there are three test and tons on journals to write each week
Not a single cell of respect and kindness in Oshrat
This professor is very strict and very difficult to deal with.
unreliable
The exam time was suddenly changed right before the exam. 2:30 to 2:15. Otherwise, set the 120-minute test to 60 minutes. Extension requests are made individually by students. The reason is unknown. No official notice or apology. Responsibility for damage resulting from changes rests with the student. Worst teacher.
Bad professor .Dont take her if you want to be happy.She teaches happiness but only gives misery to her students.
This professor has Absolutely zero evidence of any training teaching adults. Zero assistance, zero assistance available to students. Asked for help she suggests a tutor. If she is to continue to teach at least provide adequate and detailed course outline to assist students to be set up for success.
Dont ever choose her as your professor. in Seneca. She is not a good professor as you think. She is a tough grader ( give you a 75 questions but just only 60 minutes, and questions are really hard) She teach about happiness but she give you a depress instead. I have to see a psychologist after learning her.
Very hard marker .
DO NOT TAKE! Class said Synchronous and Asynchronous, ended up being only Asynchronous and Synchronous during tests (with use of Lockdown browser). Total of 4 tests and 1 written assignment (all 15% or more). All your learning was from weekly textbook readings. Tests were all about detailed content from the textbook.
Take this course if you want to fail it. The worst professor ever.
Unfortunately, we can rate professors 1 to 5 and not 0 . If i was given option to rate 0 i will definetely give her 0 rating . Worst professor ever.
This is professor has no mercy . If you want a fail a course then take her and if not dont take her.
worstest of all the worst professors.
very dispointed by her behaviour.
........
she is tough grader and cut off your marks for no reason.
very bad professor .SHE doesnt teach any thing and yet expects us to write 100 % accurate long answers with full coherency . Even you meet all requirements she will cut minimum of 3 to 4 marks from 10 marks ques for no reason causing your overall to go down drastically.
tough grader
i hate this professor she doesnt care about her students.
if u want to be happy dont take her happiness course. She should change the course name from psychology of happiness to psychology of depression . Worst professor i ever had.
She didn't make any lecture , she wasn't present at any of our class hours and most important of all she makes too many question in test with a very limited time, almost impossible to read the question and have time to think and select. What is the worst thing is the fact that she rates very low, wouldn't recommend her.
Stay away from this professor !She is super tough on grades, don't care about students, and basically don't teach anything. Totally unfair grading and not worth your time. On website ,My given quality-1 Real quality - -1 Avoid her.
Worst professor ever .
Bad professor .
Less than a min to answer questions on a test. No lecture notes. No discussion boards. No learning. I can read a book on my own. I didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for that. Worst prof ever.
Honours student, 1st time dropping a course. 57% on test 1. Content is textbook readings no teaching, expected to remember specific dates & names on tests. Weekly content locks after 7 days. Requires lockdown browser. 25 mins to complete 40 questions on test 1, test 2 had 60-80 questions (dropped course before taking the test thankfully). Avoid.
Never had this much anxiety in my entire time here. Was spending more time and stress on this course than my actual program courses. Please drop and get a refund as soon as you can.
Psychology of Depression
Not accommodating to students with learning disabilities. A gen ed course but expects people to take this course more seriously than your own program. Was online so doesn't really teach, had to watch videos and read a crazy amount of pages per week. One test was 1 question per minute and there was around 100 questions.
The test of this professor is impossible even the smartest students cannot finish the exam. 105 items for 50 minutes, and the coverage is the whole book which you will need to prioritize the course more than your majors. Do not take his course.
No comment.
DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE! Seriously, if you take this course (or ANY of Oshrat's courses) you will not enjoy it. I took the course thinking that it couldn't be as bad as people were making it out to be, its the Psychology of Happiness after all. WRONG! I had so much anxiety from this course I spoke to the Seneca therapist. Psychology of Sadness!
I believer his courses are here to scam for more money
I do not understand why there are so many awful reviews regarding this course and the professor. I took Psychology of Happiness and found it to be relatively easy as long as you read the assigned chapters. The professor responds quickly and is extremely helpful.
The class was quite challenging, but I found unstuck ai really helpful for preparing. The professor is tough on grading, so stay on top of the material and use all available resources. Not an easy A, but doable with dedication.
Teaches absolutely nothing; the course I took was asynchronous, so it is expected that not a ton of teaching can be done. However, with the weekly coursework provided, absolutely no work related to any of the tests is given. Open book is not allowed and it is extremely difficult to complete any tests with a score over 60 because of the difficulty.
If you could, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE WITH THIS PROFESSOR. I took psychology of happiness and I loved that course. That is why I took this course but the test/exams are so hard since it is very detailed and this course was very difficult overall. Do not recommend to anyone.
Left no instruction, tried to reach out several times for assistance, he refused to meet or advise in anyway. Had zero class content, or information about the class posted to learn from.
Zero guidance, no course material, get the textbook on loan to learn on your own if you're interested in the course
Does not provide any powerpoint presentation and recorded discussion , just assigned a textbook and all of her exams rely mainly on that textbook. And she run everything through AI checker.
Personal experience counts as cheating
-Only accepts answers from textbook, personal experience or outside knowledge counts as cheating -Very specific questions that most people wouldn't remember -Short amount of time and a lot of questions to answer in tests (Ex. 65 questions in 45 minutes) -Felt more like a major than an elective Highly recommend avoiding this class for your own good
Focus on text book and personal experience or reflection of learning is not assessed. To make it even harder, professor expects to memorise teeny- tiny details from textbook and all the researches/data discussed.The MCQ's are like locating information from comprehension without text available(use memory). It is grading memory not learning outcome.
idk if he's a teacher. he is not posting weekly content, he just posted the textbook we should use and he is just telling us "read chapter 9, read chapter 10" likee??? and exams are hard AF. he is also asking specific questions. he is expecting us to write a long looooong essay - all information should be at the book only.
This is a general course, but we were assessed as if we were trained psychologists. The test wording was extremely difficult, even for native speakers. The professor also changed the midterm from written to oral, adding stress. Overall, it was a bad experience.
