Amanda Chicoli PSYC207 Anonymous 02/15/2024	She was probably the worst professor I have ever had in all four years at Maryland. She was not accommodating at all, never explained complex terms or theories in class before using them in lectures and expecting us to know how to apply them in exams, and made the exams much too hard - half the exam was open ended, five + part questions regarding things she hardly mentioned during lecture. Her lecture style was so confusing and all over the place. She also never seemed to be organized or ready for the topic of the day. Honestly horrible experience I wish I could go back and never have taken this course. I would not recommend this class or professor to anyone.
Amanda Chicoli PSYC207 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/16/2023	Dr. Chicoli is such a bubbly and fun person. She so clearly cares about the content she teaches and wants to help her students learn. In particular, the content of this class is quite interesting and she knows it well, often getting excited about lots of little things we cover each session. She also uses online game simulation learning a lot, and while this is usually fun, sometimes the worksheets are a little confusing. Additionally, her class is not the most organized thing. On the bright side, though, you get opportunities for extra credit, not that much homework at all, and class is generally pretty relaxed and lectures are recorded to help with studying later down the line. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Dr. Chicoli for this class; it can be a bit confusing the way she's organized it but it's manageable.
Amanda Chicoli PSYC207 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/12/2022	This is a pretty tough review to write cause I have such mixed feelings. I like Dr. Chicoli she's really nice and considerate but I think this course's content was a hassle, not just because she didn't have a TA and had to do everything on her own but because ik the concepts can be kinda hard to provide examples for. She did her best to relate it back to real-world topics but I think she got distracted with how much she was personally interested in the topics and how much she knew about them and then couldn't figure out how to explain them in simpler terms. Exam questions were a little confusing but she grades fair and you can definitely talk to her to consider a regrade. Not much reading, group project at the end is make or break depending on your group members. Weekly summaries and couple opportunities for extra credit. Overall the class has potential I'm just sad I had to take it as a first-timer.
