I thoroughly enjoyed Aileen's class, plus she's an awesome teacher!
The best professor I had my freshman year. Has a real cute attitude that makes her lectures entertaining, but she is well prepared and well knowledgeable. Between the two, her clases are fun and informative. The group activities were hilarious :-)
She was one of the best professors I've ever had. You had to work hard for a grade but she made class fun and you left having learned a lot.
Aileen is a great teacher. She is very funny.
I loved Aileen's class! She's not only hilarious, but also a great teacher!
Took class online - was EASY!!! Easiest class I've ever taken. We had three tests each consisting of no more than 20 questions and all of which we had about an hour to do. Easy A!!!
Awesome teacher. I love her style. I took her on line and I love that she gives plenty of time to take the tests, it really takes the pressure off so we don't have to be stressing while taking a test. I would recommend her to anyone!!!
Best pshcology teacher I have ever had. I would recommend her to any one taking pshcology
Not the best teaching style if you want to LEARN the material, but she is very easy, down to earth, very understanding and is willing to go out of her way to help you. Really nice and a clear understanding of how to get an A.
She is an awesome teacher and so willing to help you in any way possible!!! Take her PHY classes if you want an A and need help!!! She is such a sweet character!!! She also lets you have her lecture notes on all of your test!!! She makes it almost impossible not to like Psycology and not to enjoy her enthusiastic personality!!! Take her class!!!!!!
She is the****!. Best teacher I have ever had ans super HOT!
The best and easiest teacher I ever had. I took her for 104 also, and it was a night class I showed up 6 of the 11 class meetings and got an A just because I tried, not by any means cause of test scores, which were horrible. If you put in the effort and participate somewhat you will get an A! Take this for an interesting class, and easy GPA boost!!
She is awsome
Super easy class! Bazarr but nice
Very easy just do the work-get an A!
She is the best Professor at Chemeketa!!! Couldn't have a better teacher! The only class I LOVED!
Possibly the easiest teacher at Chemeketa with the exception of cornett. She teaches but does not hold you responsible. I agree with below that she is bizarre, but she is nice. I hardly showed and she helped me. Take advantage if you need a VERY easy social science class.
funny! she makes it clear she loves starbucks scones! nice to everyone. always smiling - makes everyone feel good about themselves
She is the BEST teacher I have ever had in my whole life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's a great teacher, very funny. I actually really enjoyed going to her class. Easy A, too.
Best teacher EVER! I love her so much. She is too funny! I do not think she is easy. I think she is fair and allows everyone the opportunity to succeed. You have to try, but she makes learning SO EASY!
Aileen is the best teacher ever. Very fun class, I learned a lot too. She goes out of her way to make sure that her students suceed.
Very fun teacher. I know she reads this page, so I'll tell her to keep letting students use notes on tests. As she said, in real life we can look stuff up if it's something important....like a test.
I agree that she can make class fun. She's is sometimes hard to to understand, but you can learn if you want to. She lets you make up late work which is great because I work a lot. She likes students which is refreshing. If you need a social science class and want an A, take her class!
Great teacher, loved the class abit wild at time but awsome teacher, ifeel i learned a lot!
Aileen is a great person and a great teacher. If you put a little bit of effort into attending class and taking notes (either in class or out of the book, out of class), this class should be an easy A.
I would have to say she is my FAVORITE teacher I have had in college. Every class is entertaining and interesting. If your going to take any teacher at chemeketa take one of her classes for sure!
Without a doubt, the easiest at Chemeketa. She gives you a million chances. I could have learned more, but since you don't have to read the book to do well.
i had collins for womens studies. she is a nice, intelligent lady with excitement for teaching and obviously cares about her students. my only problem is that sometimes the class seemed a bit disorganized, and there is only 2 things worth any points, the tests and we didn't get the first one back until the class before the final...kind of annoying.
AWESOME teacher. ALot of fun. very enthusiastic and entertaining. Stay awake in her class. learned alot. Tries her best to help u get an A. Definately reccommend her gto anyone needing or wanting to take psychology.
loved her to death. you must take Aileen to get the full Chemeketa experience. She makes coming to classes enjoyable. You will laugh and learn. go to class and you will do great.
I loved her teaching style, she is the most entertaining person I have ever know. I learned alot with her and her teaching style. She knew all her students name and always greeted them personally when coming to class. The grade is based on what you put into it. We need more Aileens on earth!!
She might be too nice for her own good. She really wants people to like her. Please people, don't take advantage of her. Very VERY easy instructor. Does not know much on Women Studies though. Too many power point slides.
AMAZING teacher, the BEST at Chemeketa definately. NEED to take psychology with her. you wil ENJOY it. Makes it FUN and still learn alot. Definately will stay awake even if taking it in the morning!!! :) SHE ROCKS!!!
Almost too easy. The teacher was very nice and helpful. If you are looking for an easy A, Psychology in the Workforce Online is a breeze. A couple of assignments and open book tests that are not timed. I was really surprised by that.
Great psy teacher, very easy to talk and understand. Didn’t do much work but the tests were very easy, everyone got an A. Sometime would go off on different topics not related to psy but was always entertaining and interesting.
Great teacher. Very energetic, quick to help, passionate about the course content. Notes allowed on test.
BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!! she knows her stuff, tests are open note, but you should keep up w/ reading the book as well, just to ensure that A... even if you arent interested in psy, take her class, you will love psychology and want to take as many classes from her as possible!!! loved it! she's so funny! :)
Aileen is a very fair and understanding instructor. Just be there for class, read the book and you will get an A. She let's you use notes on the test, but they are useless if you didnt attend class. She is interactive with her students and at times, very hyper. Sometimes she tends to lose her train of thoughts and studder alot, it can get confusing
This was an extremely enjoyable class. The instructor was incredibly good at lecturing. Her enthusiasm and ability to illustrate her lectures with unforgettable examples was astounding. I'm very glad our school has an instructor of this caliber. Just... don't ask about chicken pot pie. She'll tell you ALL about it.
Great teacher, super funny and just a great overall class. Extremely easy and No homework.
she rocks
Very fun teacher!! I enjoy all of her classes!
Aileen is extremely nice and has a good attitude. She's very knowledgable about what she's teaching, yet she can be quite scattered. Her class does not have much structure, either. So, if you do better with structure, do not take this class. The class was too easy. It wasn't challenging enough. Toward the end of the term, it got boring.
Aileen Collins is an amazing instructor. She lectures in a style that makes it fun to learn. She says that the text is important to the class but she covers the material so well that the text almost becomes unecessary. I am very grateful to have had her as an instructor.
Teacher was very nice. Had a little bit of a hard time following some of her directions and getting in touch with her. Got a little lost online with this course as well but over all was an easy class. I learned alot alot the reading material was very educational.
Aileen has a great personality. She is loud, entertaining, and engaging. Her classes are by far the easiest I have taken at Chemeketa. But if you are wanting to really learn, I suggest you look for another instructor. Again, I really liked her, but I just felt like I should have been ale to learn more.
I love this teacher!! She is very nice and she love to teach. Very helpful and caring.
I love this teacher!! she is fun, caring, and love to teach
great personality, very funny. This was an online class. she loves to participate in the discussions and really has fun. there is very little structure and she is very... disorganized? but its fun. take this class from her!
i really enjoy classes with Aileen, i have taken her for all of my psychology classes and I enjoy every minute of it. She may be an easy teacher but it is up to the students to learn the material so I dont think anything whatsoever is wrong with this teacher. She is by far the best teacher I have ever had for the material i was learning. Thanks!!
Aileen was great very animated she really cares for her students, can be a bit disorganized but helps you on the tests a little bit, she really wants people to pass.
I love psychology, but even if you are someone who doesn't....Aileen is the best teacher to learn from. I took her online class and everything is easy to follow, time lines are more than fair, & if you need any help she responds quickly. She's also really funny! I definitely suggest you take any psychology classes that she offers.
This teacher is a rock star! The best teacher I've ever had! Seriously.
Love her...she is fun and easy to understand as well as please. Thank God there are people like her teaching!
Best class and teacher yet. Really has a way of explaining stuff with tons of comedy and just with that, it sticks in your head. AWESOME TEACHER!!! Highly recommended.
Great Teacher! It was an easy class and fun. She does Goof off alot but I enjoyed it because she did keep it relating to the subject. I learned through the fun and silly experiments we did in class. Open book tests and shes flexible.
An easy class if you show up everyday. She would get sidetracked and she was a little crazy. Lastly she is by no means hot.
She is fair and the class is enjoyable. She is very funny. We haven't seen any "youtube" videos in class except for one which was real. I am learned alot in PSY201 this term. Great teacher. She is very organized and always has good facts. If you ask, she gives proof! Often, she brings in articles about related topics.
She is one of the best teachers I have had. Her way of teaching is not your normal listen to lecture, and pray you do good on a test, it is more interactive and her comedy is what helps you learn the material more. It just sticks to your head. :) She is an awesome teacher! You tube videos,she put up funny ones but also educational ones.
this woman is the best thing that can happen to you while in college..she will completley extinguish those dreadful thoughts of the teachers back in high school..she treats her students like adults and there is never a dull moment in her class..im a better person for having met aileen collins
CHICKEN POT PIE! Aileen is fantastic. I took 201 & 237 w/ her, and 239 next term. if you show up to class, you will get an A - it's impossible to NOT learn from her. she can be vague on assignments/projects,but it's because she wants you to take what you have learned and think outside the box. She truly cares about her students and her subject.
Aileen Collins is an amazing woman. She is such a good teacher. She connects with her students on a really personal (not weird) level. She's exceedingly helpful if you have any questions regarding the material (or not regarding the material). I LOVED her class. The best class I have ever taken.
AWESOME! I had a high 'B' in the class, talked to her and she gave me an 'A'. Very funny. Has a great sense of humor, Loves The University of Georgia. She makes psychology the most fun class you will ever take! Definitely take her,you will not regret it!
Oh my goodness, Aileen is so funny she will have you on the flood laughing!!!!!!!! She is so easy if you are not ready for a quiz just let her know and she will understand. There was only 4 quizes and 1 project in the class that is it no homework. All quizes are open note. Funny funny lady and has a big heart of gold!!
Go to class=A in the class
She is one of my favorite teacher everybody should take her at least once. I took every class she has . she very smart, funny and nice and sweet. she one of the very best and you wont regret it if you take her.you should ignore that comment below my !
Fun and crazy teache. But fun class
She is crazy but super fun! The end of term project is fun and the exams are easy.
She is my favorite teacher so far! She makes class fun, & theres never a dull moment in her class! Definitely reccomend her!
Took this online..Super friendly teacher! Not a whole lot of communication with her though. Doesn't really respond to emails or questions posted on the site. Instructions were confusing. You can skim the text and use the book for quizes and tests. Overall, fairly easy class and good teacher.
Aileen is a great teacher. She is hilarious, very energetic, fun and understanding! EVERYone I know who has taken from said they loved her. I would take another class from her in a heartbeat. Do it!!
Aileen is a blast. She makes the subject interesting. This class is one of my favorites. I love the fact that one of the tests was take home.
Amazing teacher..
Very funny, very entertaining to have as a professor. She has quite the awesome personality, probably not for the extremely serious person, but she is very good and I did learn a lot. She does like to tell stories, but they are hilarious and correlate with the subject matter.
Aileen is the professor that is going to teach you beyond any classroom teaching. Her classes are full of excitment, yes she yells and jumps up and down but she makes it fun and enjoyable. If you do the work you get an A, if she doesnt fully clarify its because she wants you to work through it; just like you would in a job. She is amazing!!!!
Awesome teacher, funny, entertaining, can use notes on test, just show up and you will do well. Go Aileen!
Aileen is fabulous. She makes Psy so much fun! I highly recommend her!
As long as you show up and do your work, you will get an easy A! Aileen makes it super fun therefore you learn quicker. Be warned though, if you don't like a sometimes loud, happy, sarcastic professor; this may not be the type of class you will enjoy. Aileen is such a kick in the pants, I thoroughly enjoyed taking her class so much that I am taking
Amazing instructor. Very enthusiastic gives you tons of information and makes learning psychology very fun.
Great teacher and a lot of fun! You won't regret taking her class...
Extremely easy and helpful teacher. exams are an amazing surprise and she basically gives us all the information we need before the test. best teacher.
LOVED...LOVED...LOVED... She is a wonderful teacher. Show up to her class, take notes (write down everything she puts on the board)and interact in the discussions and it is a NO fail class. You have to try and fail this class. I wish she taught more classes I would take her again if I could.
She is hillarious, energetic, and a great teacher! She also grades very fairly, and her assignments and class load are very easy! If you're taking psychology 201,202,203 or 237 at Chemeketa TAKE FROM HER. Best teacher I've had
Aileen is AMAZING!!! She is so entertaining and makes psychology even more interesting to learn about. If you do the reading from the textbook and pay attention to the lectures/powerpoint slides you'll probably get an A. One of the best teacher's I've ever had. Can't wait to take one of her classes again.
Disappointed. Read about what a wonderful teacher she is, but she was completely absent in our online PSY class. Made an appearance at the beginning and again a few weeks in. That was it. Much of the material was in Powerpoint form. Difficult to print or study in this format. Had to save them as RTF so that I could print to study. Easy easy tests.
really good and helpful teacher..
She is the best Instructor I have ever had, I would take her classes multiple times because she makes Psychology a blast! definitely recommend her
Easy A.
Aileen was one of the best teachers I could of ask for. She is hilarious and makes the class fly by. I would literally only go to school to attend her class. Definitely recommend her to anyone!
Aieen is an amazing teacher!! take her class. She is funny, smart and really cares about students. She always held mewhenever I asked and kept lectures interesting with lots of class participation.
I took Mrs. Collins for PSY202 and 237. She's a AWESOME instructor....If you want a psych class that is fulfilling, I suggest you take her. By far THE greatest teacher at Chemeketa!
I took psy201 and psy237. she is the best teacher I ever had in my life!
She is the coolest teacher ever! She explains things very clear with using her humor and gestures! I just love her lecture so much!
Great instructor. Book not really needed. All exams were take home exams. Final was very interesting. At first thought I was in the wrong class room because instructor started yelling. Realized it was her style. Full of information, Occasional tageants, however did all relate. Would recomment to anyone.
She's really great and has lots of energy! Aileen is very into her subject. As long as you take notes and pay attention, you'll do fine! I recommend taking her class!
Best teacher I have ever had. It is obvious how much she truly cares about her students and what she is teaching. You learn without even realize you are learning because she is so much fun and so entertaining. I actually looked forward to going to class!
I took her online class. It was not that difficult, she gave lots of time to take tests and for assignments. There was hardly any assignments. I believe there was only 3. If you can't get into her on campus class, then take this one.
She's hilarious. If you like to have an entertaining and easy teacher, Aileen is the teacher you want to take. I loved going to her class and I easily passed. She gives extra credit opportunities and really does wish the best for everyone of her students. I would love to take her class again and any other class she teaches.
Very high energy, entertaining class. Most tests are open note/book. Easy, but I didn't learn much. A little boring. Aileen's political views are openly expressed. She's really nice, tho.
She is hilarious and makes the topics interesting. Very fun and interesting class.
It is worth waking up and going to this class because she is super funny and you learn a lot! This is my third psychology class that I have taken from her and by far this class is the best! I definitely recommend her to anyone!
She's very funny, but the book should be use a lot more.
This is a great class! I love this professor! She is so funny and very smart. Go to class do the work and get a good grade
Awesome teacher!!!! You will NEVER be bored in this class. Just show up and do your best! :D
Super easy, fun & funny teacher!!
She is amazing!!
Best Class Ever! She Makes Learning So Much Fun! I Took Both Psy 201 & 237 With Her. Hardly Used The Textbook. :)
Took this class, she is extremely disorganized, makes up rules as she goes never grades paper, takes weeks to respond to emails. Easy class if your don't want to learn the material.
Easiest class I've taken, but only because I didn't need to learn anything. Class felt like a waste of time, didn't use to book once. Aileen is nice, but disorganized, and crams information because she doesn't keep up with it. If you need an easy class take it, but if you want to really learn, wouldn't suggest this class.
Took her for 237. By far the best teacher at CCC.
Aileen is a great teacher. The way she teaches makes you learn the material. Take her!! her class in fun and she is super funny!!
Best class I've ever had!
BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD HERE AT CCC... SUPER FUNNY MAKES YOU WANT TO COME TO CLASS UNLIKE MANY OTHER TEACHERS WHO MAKE IT DREADFUL..
hands down the best teacher i have ever had at ccc. I would 100% take more classes from Aileen in the future. She has the best class room presence and she is truly meant to be a comedian.
Aileen is a fun and energetic professor. She makes class fun and exciting! Her class was full of discussions and she goes out of her way to make sure that you understand the topic. As long as you pay attention in her class you'll pass. I HIGHLY recommend taking PSY 237 with her!
Lazy teacher. Easiest 200 level class ever because the teache3r puts in maybe an hour all term. She's pretty rude when asked questions too. Easy and useless A.
Aileen was really awesome. She's funny and nice. Very smart and I learned a lot from her. Great experience.
Best teacher so far at Chemeketa, pretty easy class with a lot of small assignments and one big one.
Aileen was an entertaining instructor to say the least. If you show up and do the work, which is pretty easy, you will get an A. I will definitely be taking more classes from this instructor. I have taken other PSY professors in the past and she is by far the best.
Aileen is a wonderful professor! Hands down the best experience I've had in a class here so far. Learned a lot, laughed A LOT and going to class was truly one of the best parts of my week. She really cares about her students and is very educated on what she teaches. A couple big tests and not a lot of busy work. Would definitely recommend. :)
My favorite Professor for sure. She's so funny and very interesting to listen to. I wish she had more classes for me to take! Really great instructor.
Good teacher except gets side tracked a lot, crams a lot of information in at the last minute or not have enough time to finish chapters but test you on them anyways. Would recommend for a easy A class but didn't learn a whole lot when being rushed and cramming info.
very energetic, doesn't keep you up to date with your grades or how your doing in her class. She is VERY opinionated and uses the power points to cram info into your head. she seems like a nice person but it wasn't a class i took a TON of information from.
She is amazing and oh so hilarious. I highly recommend her. I missed an exam and she was totally understandable about my situation. Not super strict but does expect you to put in some work. She's there when you need her either 15 min after class or in her office. I took her about 2 terms ago and im bummed she doesnt teach higher psych classes.
Fun class. Recorded her lectures and she just always had me Rollin. Loved her!
You MUST take Aileen for a PSY201 or 202 class. I took her online classes and they were fun, easy, and I learned a LOT. Aileen really helped me LOVE Psychology and she does it with a great attitude and a fun learning style. Definitely take her online classes because she's the best online teacher I've EVER had!!!
As long as you know how to show up and pay attention, you can do well in her class. She makes it way more entertaining and easier than it could be.
BEST TEACHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!
Shes The best freaking teaches shes awesome. Her class was so easy shes hilarious.
She is great! Tells personal stories that relate with the material to help you understand better. There wasn't one class where i was not entertained.
If you want to know your grade before the end of the term, good luck. Even though she states in her syllabus that the grades will always be visible, they are not. Assignments are late to be returned, if returned at all. Yes, this woman is hilarious, but if you actually want to learn the material, don't take her classes. I am so disappointed!!
Yes she is funnyentertaining! However the class wasn't structured didn't follow syllabus. She made psych v cool, but I kinda wish I'd learned more! I heard her upper div classes Rmuch more serious n difficult but 201 was 2 easy! I'd recomm she make the syllabus easier for her to follow, wmore sm assignments that she could later build tests from
This teacher was great! I took the class online and could still tell she was very personable. Her class was straight forward and if you put the effort in, you'll recieve an A. I would definitely recommend her!
The online psych classes by Mrs. Collins are a joke. extremely easy. Very little homework. I finished the course in 6 days. Her tests are straight from the internet and easily found on google. She never responds and gets angry when you point out her mistakes and ask for clarification.
Best teacher you'll ever have.
I liked the class super fun and an easy A
What can I say? One of the best, if not the best, instructors at Chemeketa!!! Love her! She's an outgoing ball of energy. She's a lot of fun. Definitely take her class if you can.
Aileen is really funny and charismatic, but her class time could be better used. She mostly shares stories instead of lecturing with slides. At the end of the term, I have almost no lecture notes from her class. Going to the actual class felt like a waste of time, as everything you learn will be from the book. She could spend more time explaining.
Funny and if you listen to her stories they all relate to the topic at hand and she keeps you interested! She's funny and a very nice person! Her tests help you learn and are another tool for learning!
LOVE LOVE LOVE HER! One of the best professors I have had
Honestly the greatest teacher I have ever had. She gives out study guides for the tests and other helpful things, super funny, extra credit opportunities. Really easy class. I always felt like she really cared about me and the rest of the students. She's great.
i loved this class!!! Aileen is one of the coolest professors at CCC. If you want an easy A take her classes. She makes learning Psychology fun and easy!! You don't even have to buy the textbook as she provides a free one. We had 3 exams, 6 assignments and one introduction post. She puts everything at once on elearn so you can work ahead.
I absolutely love this woman!! I highly recommend taking her classes. You won't regret it
She is amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. No homework. She tells amazing stories and they are always so funny. I never felt like I didn't want to go to her class.
Professor Collins goes out of her way to make sure her students are comfortable and learning. Very unique amazing teaching style. took every class I could with her! Take her! Promise you will love her!
Amazing teacher that loves what she does. She makes class fun. I would pay to see her talk about psychology & life. She does swear in class. She makes you want to learn. She randomly screams Wilhem Wundt. You'll always remember who the father of psychology is.
took this class online. No discussions or posts required. All you do each week is take a quiz or write a small summary off an article she gives you. There are 3 exams they are all long. I ended up with an 88% and she gave me an A in the class. Not hard just do the work.
Greatest teacher ever! Really made me think!
Best class I've ever taken! PSY OF MEDIA! She took us in field trips, bought us journals, and we did a great deal of critical thinking. She TOTALLY knows her stuff! She can weave history and psychology and politics and public policy into one lecture. Mesmerizing and hilarious! You will love her!
This teacher is the very best teacher at chemeketa. She took us on field trips and paid for them. She cares deeply about her students AND helped me find scholarship money. She even edited my essays! She's super nice. And her stories ... They may SEEM random, but they aren't. Listen carefully because the stories help you remember the material.
She made learning fun
Love Love Love her!!
Aileen is an awesome person. She is very caring and funny and loves to share stories. BUT i didn't learn anything in her class because she was talking about random stuff 95% of the time. IF you want an easy A, take her.
I didn't learn anything
She is extremely funny in a deviant way. She is part of the gen-x era, but claims to act like a millennial, I agree. She uses jokes that aren't common for a professor.
If potty mouths are not your type of people do be around, do not take Aileen. She had to have cussed 1000X this term. Aileen is incredibly knowledgable in the PSY field, she just takes a little while to get to the point where she starts dropping knowledge. She truly cares about the success of her students. Her test are CAKE if you attend class.
Aileen's online 5 week course was incredibly easy! You have powerpoint's to read each week and the homework assignments are very clear and easy to do. The exams and final are a little tough but she gives you 2 tries to make sure you get a good grade; she also has extra credit options as well. I would take her again if I needed another PSY class!
Her online class is really easy. There are three test that you can re-take twice. She also gives out a lot of extra credit options.
This was by far the easiest class I've ever taken. I didn't learn much, but if you want an easy A+ take her. My term with her got screwed though, a 201 class joined ours because the teacher for 201 disappeared. So she spent most of her time talking with the 201 class. But class goes by quick, she talks a lot about her life, she's got great stories.
She took over the class when my original teacher disappeared. She was awesome! She made the class really fun and interesting. Gave tons of extra credit and cool out of class opportunities
She's the best. Probably the most interesting person I have ever met.
One of the best professors I have ever had! She is very understanding, hilarious, and has a very fun class! Will be looking to take another one of her classes if I can!!
In all I'd say she is totally weird, but that's kinda what makes it interesting. The problem is that her lectures have either nothing in to do with the subject matter, or just glaze over it. Makes for an easy A, but you don't know what you're supposed to write down, except for the presentation. VERY open minded, not intimidating at all!
I chose Aileen bcuz of the good reviews. Def underestimated her craziness! She's so into her lectures she wants you to dig deeper and forget about the college scene and really THINK. Really inspiring. She does get off-topic sometimes, but in a way that's how you differentiate the lectures. Great atmosphere and overall a really easy A. Take her! (:
I took psy 237 and it was really easy. All tests were online and open note. She gave assignments that were really straight forward and you learned a lot doing them, she graded really easy on them too. She had online powerpoints and a few video lectures. I didn't use the book for much, but she required it for a couple hw assignments.
Amazing class! It's a way to use psychological concepts to analyze media - like news and movies and social media. She is super funny. It makes you think about your own biases and how you see the world. Love this teacher! Journal writings are useful and help you apply the material.
Really knows her stuff. Care about her students. Keeps up with current research treads. Funny. Love her! Best Psychology teacher ant chemeketa.
She is great !! I took psy237 online and it was such a well put together course. Very organized and not hard at all. The test and midterms were online also so take advantage of your resources pay attention to the powerpoints.
Aileen seemed to care a lot about making her students feel comfortable and laugh. It was cool or whatever, but got pretty old. I don't feel like I've actually gained an understanding of psychology, so that sucks. But, if you're looking for a chill class with an easy pass, take her.
Her online class is basically all tests. Four exams, no final and a few homework assignments that are mostly opinion based. She also offers extra credit and there's no time limit on any of her exams.
Lectures were scattered and hard to follow. She gets distracted or wants to tell us facts that have nothing to do with Psych. About 2/3 of class time was her telling us about her personal life. She likes to be funny, and she is very warm. However, she did not reply to emails. Quizzes were hard, because she didn't prepare us well though teaching.
Beware of the biased reviews that are present for this instructor, this is a product of the easy grade that you can get for the class and not for a better understanding of psychology. Aileen is caring, hilarious and entertaining yet her lectures are sub-par: VERY deviant. Her access. is questionable and she doesn't respect other's religions. Ex: C
Super easy class. The instructor is clear with grading and offers study guides and extra credit opportunities. Definitely will take a course with her again!
Aileen is an amazing professsor! She is hilarious, and deserves to be on Ellen. If youre looking for a class with a kind, caring, bad ass, hilarious teacher that is easy going, easy assignments, and is great at giving lectures that relate to real life stories, Aileen is the one! Highly recommend her! HW includes watching plays. Its optional!
Aileen is awesome! She makes class fun and very realistic. There is a lot of material covered in class, but as long as you do the work youre guaranteed an A.
If you read the material & actually work on the assignments you will learn a lot. Like any online course, it takes self motivation. Aileen's posts are funny & upbeat! Course Layout: 7 HW assignments (5pts each), 4 exams (100pts each), 3-5 Extra Credit opportunities (5pts each). Expectations are clear. I highly recommend this instructor.
Provides students with the foundations of psychology. Must be ready to read to learn more of the details. She can tend to go off topic but will notice her self and bounce back.
She's amazing and funny and loud. She does tend to get off course easy which caused us to have to rush at the end of term, but if you say something when she goes off on a tangent she'll get back to material. She is understanding and easy to talk to. The little homework will be very easy and don't overthink the end project, she likes creativity.
I took PSY 237 online which was great. Even if you do the online exams and get good grades, you will pass this class. Also, there were many extra credits.
Aileen is a hilarious prof. She is always making jokes and just having fun. Honestly the only time I really learned something is when I was studying for the exams. It is a really easy class if you just show up and listen. Not a lot of work to do outside, and you will probably get to see her dogs. Overall a really fun class.
Very easy A, was nice to have her during my chemistry class. She gives you 3 test exams over multiple chapters open book final and a couple discussion assignments with peer feedback worth a point maybe 3 throughout the term. She is funny, kind of hard to get ahold of but very personable and willing to help when you need it.
Shes honestly the reason why Im majoring in psychology. But, read the textbook or you wont learn what you need to know for the exams. Her lectures are about other things and some material from the textbook. Shes so funny and she really is brilliant, just a little all over the place. Love her passion and smarts. Best instructor at CCC.
She is a great professor! She knows a lot about what she is teaching yet, she makes it easy to understand. Lectures are never boring, she is always making jokes or doing something that is funny.
Super nice person, one of my favorite teachers I've had. No homework, only a couple easy tests throughout the term. Allowed a page of notes for the test, and another test we had was a take home test. Love her lectures, she's passionate about what she teaches and relates to her students well. She's super funny as well.
Aileen is the best. The lectures are always interesting and laid back. If you miss a day it wont matter, but she does give extra credit on some days for just showing up so its always a good idea to go. 3 Test's, all with one page of notes to use. Questions are straight from book or lecture. No hw besides reading. Best professor at chemek.
She is an easy A! You learn a lot by interacting with the whole class. She is very entertaining and awesome.
She is so amazing! Very kind and passionate about her students and their success! She makes it known that she wants to see you go to the next level and will do everything she can to help you get there! She can relate to her students and loves to tell funny, engaging stories that help students relate content to real life experiences!
I took this class online and really enjoyed it! I feel as though I learned from this class even more than some of my in-person classes... I took Aileen before for 201 in person and she is a wonderful professor, super caring and wanting to help with any questions you might need... definitely take her class(es)!
honestly best professor her classes are a must !!!!
Impossible to get timely responses on emailed questions. I emailed 3 questions, the first was how to access the online book- absolutely no response. The second was on an assignment I accidentally turned in- responded 3 weeks later and it didn't mater because I got full points. Homework material doesn't fit class. Only exams are from the book.
Aileen is my favorite teacher at chemeketa. I have recommend her to anyone I know who needs to take psych at chemeketa. Her class were so fun, and she really makes the topic interesting. She has such interesting life experience and she really makes you question and think about the world around you. Her class really ignited my interest in psychology
Interesting material, but the textbook acts as the instructor in this online course. Super easy assignments. 5 week online summer course finished in two weeks. The ease of this course is not a compliment. For almost $500, I want to be challenged .
Easiest class ever! Took the class during summer term and finished it within a week! 4 discussions, 4 assignments, 1 Mid-term (online), 1 final (online). Quizlet will be your best friend. Assignments/Discussions are pretty easy and mostly opinion based.
Aileen's class setup online is semi-confusing. The weekly reading is easy to understand but projects feel under-explained and projects are changed at the last minute, causing some issues for me. She is a fair grader, a nice woman, and one of the better teachers I've had. I simply wouldn't take her class again because of the confusing aspects.
This class was an "easy A" but allowed me to dive deeper into my interest in psychology. For those wanting a challenge, you'll have to go beyond what Aileen asks of you to receive a good grade.
Aileen is such a nice professor, she is one of the few who genuinely care about their students. Although she is nice I feel as if this course should have been a little tougher because no one showed up until midterms and finals, even then these students did pass. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT !!!
Aileen Collins is a fun instructor. She makes learning interesting and gives fun stories to help you remember the material on test day. She can go off on tangents and sometimes youll have to ask her to get back on topic, but overall she is fun and very personable. Easy A as long as you do the assignments and pay attention in class.
This class was online bc of corona and it was really easy to pass. She gives quite a few extra credit opportunities and the test answers all literally all on Quizlet. The essays were super easy and she even gives extra credit in grading them. All you have to do is write something that makes sense and try a little and you'll have an A. She's nice.
By far my favorite professor at Chemeketa. She really cares about her students and if you want to get a certain grade she will help you achieve that. I have learned the most from her classes, & she incorporates relevant and interesting information into her lectures. Most of her tests cover only things discussed in class so you have to show up.
Probably the most unorganized online class I've ever taken in my life. Doesn't explain anything and NEVER has responded to any of my questions when emailed. If you are genuinely want to learn I would suggest taking another professor.
Collins is not good at using canvas but other than that she is good. She seems to really care is willing to engage. Work is very easy, and you can retake quizzes. basically impossible to not get an A.
Aileen Collins is a wonderful educator who has an incredible amount of experience at Chemeketa Community College. Collins is passionate about her field and teaches it very well, she provides great resources for the class and is very caring, the course work is thought-provoking and engaging. You will not be bored in this class!
Aileens class is very test-heavy. Tests are most of the grade. There is not much homework so in that way, it is an easy class but there are usually 5-6 chapters to read per week. She does not respond to emails and she gives out random extra credit on assignments and canvas says nothing about potential extra credit anywhere.
So here is the thing. There are I think four exams & like five quick assignments. The tests can be looked up online. The lectures are powerpoints that I hardly looked at. A lot of the questions are common sense too. Easy A
Here's the thing, if you want an easy class, then you could probably take her class and be ok. If you actually want to learn anything then I would probably take this class with a different professor. She's aloof and her lecture material doesn't match up with the quiz material.
I took my first psychology class 100% online during the summer. Aileen does not have due dates on assignments so you can get this class done as quickly as you want. I enjoyed setting my own due dates for the assignments; she is a saint for allowing this. This summer term was wonderful and I cannot wait to take PSY237 with her!
I took this class bc I heard it was easy. I didn't realize how disorganized this class would be. It actually makes the class a lot harder. Her questions on some of her hw are super broad and she says they derive from the book or slides, but I noticed a lot of the times they don't. I wouldn't take from her again, honestly.
Aileen is a very smart lady! She tries to make class super interesting by throwing out cool psychological facts that relate to the content and tells stories. She really loves teaching and psychology in general, and it shows. Take her class, but please read the textbook because she doesn't cover everything you need to know in class!!
She was so funny and answered all of our questions in detail. It’s so easy to get on her good side and she loves diet coke!
Aileen is funny, she is very approachable. She does not always get to her emails and grades at the last minute. But is a far grader and I would love to take her class again.
Awesome professor, you got four assignments that can be turned in at the end of the term, so you'll have plenty of time. Showing up is not mandatory. There are in-class activities to understand better the subject. I hardly took notes in this class.
You will learn alot!
Amazing professor, I learned quite a lot and loved that she enjoyed exploring various topics within the lectures.
Aileen is a passionate professor who makes the course engaging. While the workload is manageable, the textbook is essential. Using Unstuck study AI alongside the lectures and activities helped me better understand the concepts.
