She is a great professor. I really enjoy coming to her classes because she is so passionate about the subject and really wants us all to learn. All a student has to do to be successful is go to class, spend 2 hrs a week reading the book (not alot), and use the study guide. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.
her tests were from the book and her lectures were not very helpful. i kept a log of how many times she answered a question with, "that's a good question, i don't know" or "we'll come back to that" and she never did! very disappointing for such an interesting class.
very nice lady...but grade comes directly from tests. she drops the lowest test grade but if you have two low tests scores it kills your grade. Read the chapter a few times and you should be fine. tests are hard though
terrible terrible terrible. She doesnt work with you at ALL, and isnt clear on expectations. she changes her mind constantly, and is hard to follow. She just doesnt need to be teaching-
nice, but she sucks as a teacher. She should not be a research methods professor. she is extremely unclear on expectations... until you get your papers back. Everyone in our class this semester agrees. Dont take her- save yourself.
unrealistic expectations, and is not clear on expectations. she is a sweet old lady, but she is not made to teach research methods.
she is a great person and a pretty good teacher as well. she made comeing to class fun and interesting.
Amy is a great teacher. She is more than willing to explain things you don't understand. Tests are a little tricky, but not so much if you study a good bit beforehand.
Very nice lady, obviously very intelligent, but not a great teacher. Class isn't too hard- grade is based off tests and she doesn't take attendance. But class is painfully boring and her notes aren't very clear. If you can find a different teacher, you should.
Shes one of the nicest people that you'll ever meet, but her tests are hard and you have to do lots of studying.
Very hard! I needed this for my major, went every day, studied my butt off and still failed the tests. The class is so huge that you do not get the one on one attention that you need.
She's just about as unprofessional as you can get. Never take her class if you can avoid it. I'll be honest, she doesn't need to be teaching.
Amy is one of the kindest, most helpful professors in the psychology department. She has a very laid back teaching style but if you listen in class, take notes and study for the tests you will do fine. If you want someone who spells out everything and does your work for you, don't take her class. But if you really want to learn, I suggest her!
Research Methods is a core class for this major, a prereq or coreq for half the classes you have to take. That being said, a teacher this unreliable and uncomfortable should not be teaching such an important class. She takes days to return emails and often has more than one due-date listed for an assignment. Avoid her for the sake of you GPA.
She is a very nice person but the class is horrible. Her tests don't really come from the book or the notes and her studyguides are useless. It does help to come to class because she gets some of her test questions from class. I don't recommend this teacher at all.
Amy is sweet and genuinely interested in her students. There is a research proposal that is time consuming but great to experience if you plan on taking honor senior thesis.
Was really dreading this class, but it actually wasn't bad at all! The tests can be a little bit challenging, but if you go to class and take notes then they aren't too bad. Go to class b/c a good participation grade will help you out. Ask questions b/c she can be a little confusing, but very willing to help. Overall not bad - came out with an A+
Very very nice woman. Obviously passionate about her job and very willing to help. Tests are hard. Most material comes from the book. She is softspoken which makes it really hard to pay attention in class. Expects a little too much from you.
she is not helpful at all when i went into her office for help. Her study guides are not even close to the material on the test
Dr. Galloway is an amazing woman and clearly very passionate about her work and wants to see her students do well. She will take the time to explain, but you have to ask! If you are willing to put in your time to get your questions answered you will do well. She uses great examples in class and makes exams fair.
She is so sweet and really eager to help you learn. Her tests are not very hard if you read the textbook and come to class each day. She has participation grades which will help boost your overall grade. I really enjoyed her class!
Talks to the class like you're in kindergarten. Lectures aren't really relevant to the exams. Tests are SUPER HARD she says her averages are C's and D's and shes okay with that. Choose an easier professor for sure.
She is honestly the worst professor I have ever had. Her lectures are not relevant to material on the exam and reading the textbook thoroughly is mandatory, that is where all the test material comes from. There are participation and research grades that can help boost your grade slightly. Overall, I would never recommend her, find someone else.
Be aware before you sign up for this class that there are two different sections. I signed up for Dr. Galloway's first service learning class and it's really unorganized. The only good thing is that you don't have huge tests. But that means you learn less material and spend more time worrying about your write-up assignments. Not sure it's worth it.
Very Difficult class. Her tests don't match up exactly with anything. She strives to ask questions on her test with connecting concepts to material. A deep understanding of each concept is necessary.
HORRIBLE! Regret taking this class! She's so scattered and her test NEVER followed the lectures. She provided a study guide but failed to tell us that the study guide was only to help you when you're reading the text, not a study guide for the tests. Thinks low C's are good and fair grades. Oh, and tests are 90% of your grade and they're hard af.
I took her service-learning course which from what I have heard is much easier than her normal course. Their aren't any tests, just quizzes that can be confusing an have nothing to do with the textbook. She lectures on the textbook and assigns readings, but focuses more on the service-learning part which is a great experience.
There were not many tests. I took the service learning section so there were papers instead. It seemed very very difficult to get an A, nothing was good enough. Attendance was not mandatory but lots of participation grades were taken instead. She's a good teacher and cared about the subject but overall, average.
Dr. Galloway is seriously the nicest woman I have ever met. She genuinely cares about her students and wants you to pass. The material can be difficult at times, but she gives little tips and tricks to help you understand/remember. Her tests can be kind of hard cause she'll ask you left-field questions that you didn't expect so study everything!
makes class way harder than it needs to be. nice woman but hard grader and gives pop quizzes for all her classes with extremely specific questions almost every single class. avoid
She talks to the class like we are children. Tests are 80% of your grade and she does not prepare you well. Quizzes randomly all the time and they will drop your grade by a few points if you don't do well. Takes FOREVER to respond to your emails. I would NOT take her again!!
avoid avoid avoid. she makes you do an unnecessary amount of studying for her classes. incredible hard grader for no reason
Amy screwed up this class by assigning the wrong text book. Test information comes from the end of the chapters, study that information and you will make 85s on exams. Exams make up 80% of your grade and participation makes up 20%. Participation grades (small in class assignments) are given at random. Bring your textbook to class to be successful!
Her lectures were sometimes boring but the material was really interesting. She did 6 exams (one dropped) for 80% of grade and participation 20% which it HELPS to get that participation grade high because the exams were kind of hard. The book is super helpful and so are the videos she assigns to watch. Do the work and you will do fine!
I'm a senior psych major and I think this is the hardest psych class I've ever taken. She got a new textbook this semester, I think past semesters have been easier. The questions on the tests are super specific and not reflective of the study guide at all, also theres no quizlets online. You really have to read the entire textbook to do well.
She is a ridiculous grader. She switches times for classes or if they are online last minute. She loves to control. Don't take her class if you have a job. You have to constantly pretend that you've learned something or that you have a question. The class was devoid of new information. Some connections she made between topics were not logical.
*4655 Course -- Wasn't that all interested in sustainability until Amy's class. You do 6 outside events (i.e., help on a farm, composting workshops etc) & make sure to start early in semester. 1 large paper, 1 final project & graded mainly on class attendance "quizzes." MUST read textbook.. no lectures. she's a quirky/passionate professor :)
READ YOUR TEXTBOOK!! Dr. Galloway likes to give quizzes on class material and you will not get full credit if you don't provide the answer she's looking for. Make sure you go to class or your grade will suffer. She is very sweet and helpful, but also grades things very harshly. If you don't say exactly what she wants, she will take off points.
All I can say is the is the WORST professor I've ever had, she gives you an insane amount of homework due each day you come to class and she likes to say “please come meet with me if your having any problems with the content or materials” and then basically tells you your problem are not her problems and offers no actual solutions.
Don't take this woman if you have a job because she will make you do hours of extracurricular work and if you try telling her you have a job on top of other responsibilities and classes she will just tell you to drop the class, completely un empathetic and doesn't care about her students. She is the worst professor I have encountered
I didn't dislike Amy at first despite the hours of homework and hours of extra curricular assignments, but the day after the hurricane before she made sure her students were even safe she sent out an email prioritizing that we turn in our research papers on time and didn't offer any support for the students struggling
She is just aloof, I took her for my capstone and am mad I was not challenged more. Has a crazy amount of required out side of class events you must attend and reflect on. I did not learn anything this semester beside the fact that she loves trees and nature "close your laptops" was said at the beginning of every class so I was unable to take notes
She's nice but her lectures have nothing to do with psychology. She has us doing weird Native American “prayers”. Refuses late work when you're sick, if you don't do the charity she wants you to do you don't get credit (you have to do something that benefits the earth but if you volunteer regularly on your own time it doesn't count) don't do it
She doesn't have clear instructions, the big projects has little to no instruction and guidelines. The class is unorganized, and knowing what each class will be about is unpredictable. The class feels more like an environmental science class then a psychology class. I would recommend taking someone else for your Capstone class.
All I can say is after 4 years at this school I would have chosen a different college if I knew it meant taking another class
I really enjoyed her as a person and as a professor however, this is a hard class. Don't take her if you don't genuinely care about the topic or if you aren't willing to talk to your peers or do the readings. There are readings before every class period and she will make you prove you did the readings as attendance. I loved this class though.
I took the online course for child and adolescent development and the only grades are exams which are fine,but you cannot go back to previous questions even though she never mentioned it and you only have 1 minute to answer every question. Pick a different teacher besides Amy Galloway there are many better options out there who won't screw you over
Do not take her class! Extremely tough grader and will take several points off after I had her proofread my assignment. Honestly, did not teach anything important. Attendance is very mandatory.
worst professor in my entire college career
I had Dr. Galloway for my capstone, she required us to do HOURS of volunteer work FOR A GRADE I was already volunteering for two organizations and working 30 hours a week so I really didn't have time on top of 3 other classes, when I told her about my concerns she told me to “pick another capstone” even though none of them worked with my schedule.
