"Amy" is a great teacher. You will not regret taking her class. (She teaches at satellite locations). Fun, funny, down-to-earth, and uses great real-life examples to help you understand things. Teaches things that are actually practical for real life and does not go too deep into boring stuff.
You will learn more from her than any book. if you come to class you will get an A. she gives you the notes and you jsut talk about them in class and you learn so much about poeple and yourself
I HIGHLY recommend Amy. She was really fun. She knows a lot about psychology. The homework is minimal and easy. She is a very fair professor.
She is really good teacher, no too much homework, notes are very clear and neat, i'll take her class again.
Amy is a wonderful teacher. I took her class after being out of school a very long time. She made it an easy start. The class was very interesting. I wish she taught 215.
Amy is awesome. When you walk into her class she makes you feel like you're one of her friends. She gives you all the notes and review sheets for the midterm/final. She actually teaches you the material instead of just rambling on and on. It'd too bad she only teaches 101. If you take psych you need to take her class! Amy you rock!
Amy is a marvelous teacher. She gives you real situations to clarify book-knowledge and is more than willing to explain anything you have trouble with. She gives out the notes you'll need, so study those and you'll pass. Her enthusiam is contagious and I enjoyed going to class twice a week. Thanks Amy for being the best kind of teacher to have.A+
This is the BEST teacher at JJC! I wish she taught more than just 101! Even if you hate Psyc she makes it fun and you'll learn things you can always use! It's NOT like that Calculus class you HAVE to take but will never use! You will learn a LOT from this teacher! Definately not dry!
This was the easiest yet most informative class I have ever taken. Amy keeps you interested and really knows her stuff. Overall a great person and teacher!
I am returning to college after 10+ years, and I have yet to find a better teacher!! She is a child social worker, so lots of client stories and personal experiences that make everything come full circle (and make sense). I'd let my kid talk to her in a heartbeat! Study her notes. Great Teacher, wish she had other classes. A+!!!
Amy is a wonderful Psyc teacher. She is a therapist fulltime. So she actually uses many examples from her previous and present experiences with people. Her examples help you to grasp the topic. I highly recommend her... I would take another class with her in a heartbeat!
This is a Great Teacher! One of the BEST at JJC!
Very helpful, funny, and gives great examples to learn by. Could be a stand-up comedian on the side, which makes attending class a nice experience. I hope to take more classes with her!
Amy is Great! She gives you your class notes and a study guide for exams. Go to class and read the chapters - you'll do great. She is a therapist and has great stories for examples. Wish she taught more pysc. class.
Great teacher.. HIGHLY recomend.. Very HELPFUL.. LAID BACK... Learning from her is awesome.. She makes it fun to learn...
AWESOME TEACHER!!! The class was a blast!!! I actually LEARNED things,, She is not boring,,, She helps you with test,, Gives you study guides,, WONDERFUL TEACHER!!! TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!! She is helpful.. tells great stories that help you remember what you are learning,, THIS class made me feel like I wanted to change majors,, SHE IS AWESOME!!!!!
good teacher, sometimes gets WAY off subject onto her own life, but class is easy. Gives you your notes and study guides. She has lots of real life experiences with things we learn, making it clear to the students.
Amy was a great teacher, it's pretty much a discussion based class-room setting. She does talk a lot about her life (as others have mentioned) but it makes the subject matter relatable. No curve-balls here. She tells you what she expects, if you do that, you'll do fine. I would definitely take her class again.
I really enjoyed this class and it was definately because Amy made it very interesting. She ensured that we understood by providing real life examples for us to relate to. I looked forward to going to her class every week. Very outgoing and is very well educated. If every teacher was like Amy, maybe students would learn something.
Amy is an awesome teacher!!! She made the class exciting and worth going to. She always had stories to tell us. My class was a Saturday morning, which sucked, but Amy made the class fun. I wish she taught more Psych classes, if she ever decides to, I will definetly take them!! :)
I swear she is the best teacher in the world. She GIVES you notes and goes over them in class by teaching you the material in a way that is relatable so you remember everything she goes over. She only gives you two tests but dont worry the tests are so easy because she gives you a study guide that is actually harder than the actual tests.
Amy was friendly, helpful and fun. Her class is interesting and the work load is light. Pay attention, do the assigned work and you'll do well in her class.
Amy is a great teacher. She is pretty sarcastic. She also shares a lot of personal stories that are helpful to understanding the material.
Amy is a darn good teacher!I had her on saturday mornings and made the class go by fast. loved her stories!
Awesome teacher! She makes the class fun!! Highly recommend!
I loved her class, I had her for Fall 2010 & it was great. She gave us all the notes, & a study guide before midterm & final, offered some extra credit opportunities also. Highly recommend her.
Show up and do the 5 easy assignments because they benefit you as a person. Two tests- midterm and final which are cake A-B-C-D and one short answer. Very open by sharing her life experience with the topics. Take her!
Amazing teacher!! Would HIGHLY suggest taking her. She makes the time fly, very informative and will help you in any way she can!
luvv her the best teacher ever she is a must take for 101 she knows what shes doing 100%
Amy is always so much fun! She's so funny & always tells great stories that go along with the lesson. She is really easy to relate to as well, whether you are a traditional or older student. I really hope she teaches 102! Tests are cake & so are the assignments because they pertain to you. I really hope she teaches 102!
Amys class wasnt just a class, i looked forward to going. She made me realize so many tihngs in life. It has been my favorite class so far! And she is awesome! Highly recommend!
LOVED HER! She is the best Psych teacher. She makes class fun and helps you understand psychology. As long as you do your work and go to class you will get a good grade. Tests were not that hard. She does give out 1 extra credit assignment.
Amy was an amazing teacher. She made sure that every single one of her students understood the material, without making it boring. I wish I could take her coming up 215 class! This is definitely the psych prof. to take classes from!
Brought a lot of personal life into the classroom for examples but she would get so caught up in her story that she would talk about her kid for an hour! She tried really hard to connect with each student and end up off topic. Her class extremely easy but when I took psyc 210 I realized I learned absolutely nothing.
She is awesome! So funny and enertaining, and I took this class at 9am on a Saturday! Brings personal experiences into the lessons and makes you relate. Recommended!
What a great teacher to have! She was funny, kind and so helpful. She helps you learn about yourself and others. She makes you want to learn more about Psychology.
Very amazing, fun, and easy class! I learned so much! She's such a sweetheart. She really loves and understands everyone. I mean, she is a therapist! She brightens up my whole life! She takes the most important things and teaches you those instead of loading you up with nonsense! One of the best teachers I ever had!
amy is one of the best teachers in the whole school. she is fun outgoing and one of those people who you can talk to about anything. when she teaches she sometimes gets off topic but other than that she is awesome. if you are going to take a psyc class definitively take her class
Don't even bother buying the textbook. She's very nice but if you would like to actually learn, take somebody else. This class is completely an easy A.
Her class is very easy, and isn't stressful at all. However, I felt she could be inappropriate with her comments at times. It was a Social Psych class, but she inserted her political views way too much, and they were usually prefaced with "and don't debate me because I have researched this..." I found this approach to be hypocritical.
Love her!
Loved her! She was fantastic and put things into perspective. Never used the book. Only bad thing is she does bring alot of her personal life to class with her and sometimes she gets really off topic and it gets frustrating!
The class was super easy. I really like psychology, unfortunately half of the time we weren't actually talking about psychology, rather about what her son had been doing that day, her graduate classes, and her life. Very easy class, but if you actually want to learn about Psych, I'd recommend taking somebody else. #sorrynotsorry
Amy is unlike any teacher I've ever had. I think she's awesome! She's funny and has a laid back approach to teaching. To be honest, I didn't learn a great deal in this class. However, I did enjoy the time spent in class. I did not purchase the book for Child Psychology. I got by the class just fine without it. Take a class with Amy, she's awesome!
I simply love attending class due to her attitude. She's funny ,witty, sarcastic and makes class fun and she keeps you awake. Never a dull moment in class.
She was really cool as a person. she would always talk to the class like we were actual people. her teaching style was different from what i am used to, she gave us a packet as notes and she would read off a few parts but then get side tract. she gave assignments to help us learn about ourselves and i feel thats the only thing i actually learned.
Amy is a great professor. She teaches the material well and she's fun to listen to. She sticks to the real world. Her midterm and final are exactly like the study guides and she only has a few easy written assignments (opinion based). She is worth taking and I would take her again in a heartbeat. Do yourself a favor and take her classes.
Really great teacher. Goes on tangents a lot, but it makes the material more real. I could not recommend this teacher more. She is by far the best teacher I've had in my life. Just make sure to understand the concepts in the study guides and not the study guide itself.
Amy is an amazing professor and has the background in psychology to explain things in so many ways based on her personal experience. Do her work, participate in class, and have a sense of humor and you will do great in this class. If I could take her again, I would! She was one of my favorite professors!
Guertin is definitely my favorite teacher of all time at JJC. Her lectures are comical but interesting and she shares a lot of stories about her personal life to keep things from getting stale. She tells you exactly what she expects and the syllabus has all the homework due dates + exam dates. Her psychology class was absolutely stress free.
amy is awesome. she makes class so interesting and i would definitely recommend taking her class. she's so funny and always has a good story to tell. favorite professor by far
By for the best professor I have ever had. Her Saturday morning class was something I actually looked forward to. She's a great teacher and if I could take her again I would.
Amy Guertin is by far the greatest professor I have ever had the chance to learn from. She is hilarious, has a wonderful experience in her field, and makes you really obtain information willingly.
Best teacher ever. She makes learning fun; she always adds stories and relates things to real life so you really know what she is talking about. Easy class and the only grades are really the midterm, final, and the study guides for them. The study guide follows the notes, it's so easy. I loved her and the class. Would definitely take again!
Amy was by far the most inspirational teacher I have ever had. She really tries to connect with her students and make her class interesting. She is very straight forward, and you'll know exactly how to ace her class on day one. Have an open mind and a sense of humor, because those are two main components needed for this awesome class!
Amy was honestly one of the coolest professors I have ever had. Not only was it an easy class, but it was a very interesting one. I left her class knowing more than I did when I first walked in. She is absolutely hilarious, is a fantastic mother to her child (which she will tell you about in class) and is stunning! Best professor for psych!
Psych 101 was my favorite class because Amy made it so interesting and had so many stories to go along with the material. I took this as an 8 week class and even though it was accelerated she made it so simple. Te study guides tell you exactly what's on the tests. As long as you do work it is impossible to fail. I would take again!
She was by far the best professor I have ever had. She's funny and tells a lot of life stories that relate to the material. If you don't understand certain things, she will give you ways to remember it for the test. I would definitely take her again.
Amy is a phenomenal professor! She's insanely knowledgeable on what she teaches, and keeps students interested with humor and personal stories that relate to whatever topic shes teaching. The only downside to this is she can sometimes get a little long winded with some of her stories. But overall, I highly recommend her to anyone taking Pyschology!
VERY knowledgable on the subject of psychology. Had her for Developmental Psych and I learned a lot. Inspirational. Funny. Sarcastic. I definitely would take another psychology class with her.
Amy is possibly one of my favorite teachers I have ever had. She is funny, and makes every psych concept interesting. If you plan on taking psych, take her class. I would definitely take her class again:)
Best teacher ever!
She is a very good professor, she knows what she is talking about and her lectures are never boring. I would highly recommend her class.
Amy is definitely one of my favorite professors. She is very passionate about what she teaches, and very real with her students. Her lectures make you not want to skip class. You do only have the midterm & final. The rest of the hw is online because of the virtual child.
This was my favorite class this semester. She only gives out a midterm and a final with two study guides that have all of the information you need to know on them. Very little hw, great lectures, easy to pay attention to. 10/10 would recommend.
I loved having Amy as my psych professor. Alrhough my class is 2 hours and 40 minutes long, it goes by super fast because each day is something different and exciting.
Very easy A! The powerpoints are so interesting and she has a way of speaking that makes you comfortable. If you do all the homework (really the papers are so not that difficult) you will definitely pass. She almost literally holds your hand, and walks you through the entire research paper.
Amy is the best Psych teacher! if you show up and do the work you will pass. Took her Saturday morning and missed two classes and ended up with an A+ just fill out the study guides with her notes and you will pass if you miss the deadline for the research paper you might as well drop. She's by far one of the coolest teachers!
Super funny and gives out lecture notes and study guides. You need to fill out study guide but is super easy because all the answers are in the lecture notes. She tells stories and lets you out as soon as lecture is over. Really easy to pay attention and there aren't a lot of assignments but you need to keep track of those on Icampus cause she wont
Amy is such a good professor. She has great experience and she teaches psychology very well. She's laid back, funny, and doesn't give out much homework. Come to class, listen to lectures, take notes & review them & you're pretty much set to pass the class with an easy A.
The most interesting course I have ever taken. You have to go to class to get notes and everything is turned in online, so make sure you check iCampus for when papers are due! Never used the textbook. She got me thinking on how Social Psychology affects our everyday lives. Her perspective changed my perspective. Unique experience.
Amy is one of my all time favorite teachers... enough said
She is so amazing. I would 100% take her class again. It wasn't just a lecture but a real conversation that made it easier to understand
Very excellent professor and a very easy course if you turn in your work. Not too much in-class activity, mostly lectures, but they are lectures worth listening to. One complaint is that she highly advises that you buy the $150 textbook but I have never had to use it, and you'll never use it in class.
Amy is such a great professor, you can tell she is passionate. She has the notes printed out for everyone in the beginning of class and explains everything very well throughout her lectures so showing up is important. There are 6 assignments, 1 midterm and then the final. If you show up and put in the work you will easily pass!
I loved having Professor Guertin for my psyc 210 class. She gives study guides that are very similar to the exams, and she made the class very interesting and enjoyable. There are online essay questions about every 2 weeks, they are not difficult, just time consuming. I would love to take another class with her.
Shes very understanding and chill. Made the transition from on campus to online this semester super easy and effortless. I think shes funny.
Professor Guertin definitely is in my top 3 professors in my 3 years of college. She will respond to your emails QUICK, there are two exams (midterm and final). Study guides are similar to the exams. I mean this class was amazing and I would definitely take it again. DON'T MISS OUT ON AN EASY A!
Great teacher, she is a therapist and working on her PHD so she is very thorough in her class. If I had questions she answered them in a timely manner and always offered more information. She can be a tough grader but is also understanding. I would recommend her class
Professor Amy has been my favorite by far. There really is no way to fail her class unless you really just don't care. Her lectures are not boring and has a great sense of humor. She goes above most professors, she actually answers all your questions. Fun teacher fun class.
Professor Guertin is AMAZING! Her study guides are awesome and prepare A LOT you for tests. She gives you a packet of notes for the semester. Her lectures are fun and hilarious. What I love most, is that she makes you feel comfortable in class. She is not a tough grader and as long as you show up and do your work, you will get a good grade!
Amy is probably one of the best professors I have ever had. She creates such a nice environment in her class. I took her for my spring semester and there were 7 papers with clear guidelines on what to do. There was an extra credit opportunity that was worth 10 points. She is an amazing professor and I would definitely take her class again.
Amy is amazing. The way she lectures make you truly want to learn what is being taught. She always throws in funny stories and makes class feel so comfortable. She gives you notes to follow along to the lecture with which provides you with all the test information. LOVED her personality. She is a great person and a great professor.
Incredibly engaging and overall awesome professor. I always looked forward to her class. The weight of your grade is almost completely dependent on completing homework assignments so you likely won't pass if you usually rely on tests, but I found this method actually helped me learn the material much better than in classes reliant on tests.
She likes to bring personal things into her teaching and it felt isolating at times.
I had Ms.Guertin for pshc 101 and pshc 215 she was seriously the best teacher anyone could ask for. She's super understanding and will help you with anything. I highly recommend taking any of her courses. She gives you the study guide like the first or second class, so that you have it till the midterm… so helpful. 10/10 recommend!
I had the opportunity to take her class over the summer, and I absolutely loved it. She is incredibly passionate about psychology, and that passion really shows in the way she teaches. I especially appreciated the study guides she provided and how she broke down the notes into simple, easy-to-follow sections.
