Stacie is a great professor, but she has high expectations for her students. Attendance is mandatory, so do not skip class. Do the extra credit! If you turn everything on time, communicate any questions you may have, and try your best on APA - you will do just fine. You will be required to volunteer at an agency, so keep that in mind.

I'm guilty to say I didn't realize how great Stacie is until I had another professor. She is a very tough grader which is why I didn't take her for 2375, but she is very passionate and insightful. I learned so much in her class and enjoyed the way she made me think in class participation and I found the assignments/papers really interesting.

I found Stacie's grading to be confusing and at times discouraging. She is accessible outside of class but she sometimes takes a condescending/rude tone in her replies. However, she is a good lecturer and provided me with a lot of insight into the field of social work. Overall, I enjoyed attending her class but the course was insanely stressful.

I wish I had good things to say about her, but I just don't. I have tried to figure out certain situations with her over email& zoom office hours. Her emails are not clearly worded. She's passive aggressive. Her grading criteria is ridiculous. She is very inconsistent and overall does not create a welcoming or positive learning environment.

I did not like taking this class; this class was the main root of all my problems this semester. She is very strict on deadlines but allows students to submit final presentations two days LATE. Furthermore, I would see that my grade would change for papers that were already graded; her and her GA have various styles of grading.

It is so insane to see how Mcgee has made absolutely no growth over the past few years. She was one of, if not, the worst professor I've ever had at Texas State and showcased a level of cruelty and harshness that is inappropriate for someone in her field. Changed my major because of her. Do not take her if you want to keep your sanity.

Be sure to learn APA citation she is very particular about citations! She is a great teacher, very caring, and wants her students to do well. There is one discussion per week, and about 4, 2 page papers. 3 open note exams. She gives extra credit opportunity. If you make an effort you will do well. I would take this professor again.

You have to learn APA quickly, because every social work class uses APA. The workload is easy compared to higher level social work classes. I wrote 15 papers in school social work. The difficulty comes with the added placement hours. Shoot for 6 hours a week and you wont scramble around finals. Speak up in class.

This Professor is extremely rude towards her students. She uses such a harsh tone when talking to students and insults them for asking questions. She lacks basic human compassion and never sought to understand or even hear from her students. I've never had to drop a course, but did because of her. I hope she either grows or stops teaching.

Not compassionate, forgiving, or flexible, which is surprising since she is a social work teacher. The way she talks to you and grades is un-motivating, at one point I was questioning why I was even turning in assignments because she was probably going to give me a 50% anyways.

in my opinion I'm not say she is being disrespectful but she has no empathy for what you as the student mite be going through. I received 0s for little mistakes no 60 straight 0. I was not rude whatsoever in my emails but she brings you down based on her word choices, if you need help. She showed respect to ….certain students…. and degraded others.

Professor McGee's class was a nightmare. Her lack of empathy and support made success impossible. Missing a deadline meant automatic failure, and assignments were vague with harsh grading. There was no feedback, and her responses to help requests were dismissive. No wonder half the class dropped out. I would write a novel if I could. Avoid her!

I often felt very comfortable with the work I turned in meeting her standards only to learn it was nowhere near them upon receiving my grade. She was often minimal in the feedback given leaving you confused. Also extra credit is not allowed if you have any zeroes which feels counter-intuitive. If you're forced to take this class w/ her, good luck.
