You would do good in this class if you had interest in this class in the first place. As for me, I'm not as interested in psyc, but maybe if I was, I would have gotten a better grade. You take lots of notes in class from powerpoints and use that to help study for the exams. Also requires you to do psyc experiments and easy in-class assignments.

Dr. Bohnert is super sweet, caring, and really wants you to learn the most you can. She doesn't post her slides so you have to go to class. Exams aren't hard if you show up to class and study. When we switched to online during covid she made all tests open note and gave a whole week to take them. She also gives extra credit! Take her if you can!!

Very thorough lectures!! Must attend!! But also, read the textbook bc there will be a few questions on content there not from lectures.. Also review before the exams and this is an easy A (i didn't and flopped on the first exams but got A's on the rest). But she's interactive and intelligent so it's a fun class to have, just requires effort.

Quite possible the sweetest professor at Loyola. Her dedication is unmatched. Lectures are concise, and you really don't need the book for the tests, just her lectures. Her lectures are asynch, and the weekly discussions are always fun and engaging. Tests are definitely not bad, and she's always readily available to help students! Take her!!

She has been one of my favorite teachers I have ever had. Tests are easy as long as you take notes during her lectures. Also gives extra credit opportunities outside of class. She is so caring and during class on Election Day she took the time to talk and check in with us about how we were feeling mentally, it was a little therapy session. love her

She is a very nice lady but her online class is hard. If you take the class online you will have a weekly discussion with a group assignment that's not difficult. Extremely test heavy and do not bother to rely on your notes because you have to know terms and apply it to situations. MAKE SURE to read the book and watch lectures (look at examples!)

Dr. Bohnert is a very nice lady, however, her class was one of the hardest ones I have taken so far. Her tests are extremely hard and she only gives a total of 10 extra credit points but the assignment is long and hard. She's very nice, just makes freshman year psych extremely difficult.

Dr. Bohnert is a very nice person, but this class is not structured like a intro course. Her tests are application based, so even if you know the information the questions will be hard. She does have her TA make most of the tests, so when you go to her office hours she will have to read the question, and is sometimes also confused by an answer.

Amazing professor. Take her if you can. There are a total of 3 exams plus the final. You'll do well if you take good notes and pay attention in class. Also review the notes at the end of the day. I got a B on the first exam because I didn't pay attention that well, but on the other 2 I got a A. You'll be fine if you pay attention.

She is a great professor and lectures are detailed which helps for when the test comes. Tests are straight forward and have more like examples rather than focusing on the definition. Its also important to know the definition so that we know what the question is asking. She assigns 10 IMHs for 10 pts each which are easy to write.

This is supposed to be an intro psych class, but it is not structured like a 100 level class. I've taken psych before and I was still struggling. There are only 3 tests and a final (each 20% of your grade). The additional points for your grade come from weekly assignments and participating in psych studies. She's a nice lady, but her class is not.

Professor Bohnert is a caring, sweet professor. Her lectures can be kind of dry and drag on for hours especially for a T/TH class. She has 4 tests including a noncumulative final and 10 IMHs that are participation points as long as you do them. Tests are hard and require studying beforehand and this is a little difficult to be an introductory class

Make sure you understand and do not skim over what you're learning about. She is a pretty funny professor and often talks about her kids as examples. She also weekly small easy assignments (they are very easy points). I just say make sure you know the material because the exams are quite detailed.

Dr. Bohnert is amazing! For a 101 class, you learn so so much material and she encourages critical thinking/applying the material. Textbook is required but you really only need to skim, exams are based off of the lectures. Lectures can be long but entertaining, as she's clearly an expert in her field. Final is non-cumulative.

ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED! Dr. B is so caring and replies to emails fast. The class however is not so slay. You're typing lecture notes the entire time and reading a textbook chapter (50-60) pages each week and you can't skim because some things on there are on exam. EXAMS ARE HARD!!! you need to study WEEKS in advance. Not an easy class for freshman :(
