Monica Cushnie
PSYC354 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/29/2025 |
Dr. Cushnie changed her name (after marriage I'm assuming) but I'm sticking this review under her current name instead of the old one. I looked at the feedback on the other page and I do think that sometimes the topic went a bit too left for my preference but not enough that I wouldn't say do not take this class. An old review also mentioned that they didn't like that Dr. Cushnie would ask a student who volunteered something really vague and broad to "say more." I honestly respected that a lot as I think too many people are comfortable saying something without any backing. I perceived Dr. Cushnie asking that as her wanting the student to think more critically and deeply about what they were saying. This kind of speaks to a broader issue about people getting offended that their ignorant or uninformed opinion gets some pushback. I believe in stating opinions that have something to stand on. Attendance is mandatory as there is an in class assignment that will destroy your grade if you miss a lot. She does excuse them if you have a note. I ended up having some health issues at the end that required a hospitalization and other visits and Dr. Cushnie was very sweet and accommodating to my situation. I did have notes to excuse my absence but I really appreciated her humanity and extensions to a few big assignments. She even asked me how I was doing when I was able to make it to the last day of class after missing a week and a half. I'll never forget her compassion. |
