Amy was a very fun teacher to work with. Took lots of notes, but they were the key to the test so I didn't mind. She was always caring and understanding. Sometimes overlooked raised hands on accident. Very relaxed and easy going. Homework wasn't hard, and class work was fun. Lots of good movies as well! Overall a very good class!

Amy is amazing, funny; intelligent; caring, and knowledgeable. This class could have been very difficult, but with a teacher who can make the phrase "interesting" mean 18 different things it was always an exciting adventure. If I still had time, or cash to take more Psych classes I would take them with Amy every time, and you should too.

The tests in this class are different than her others, because they are written and not multiple choice, so make sure to take notes when there are guest speakers because of this.

No matter what your major is, every student at SPSCC should take this class. The material is super interesting and Amy teaches it very well. And she's a SUPER loud talker (but it keeps you awake), so I'd suggest sitting near the back/middle. Homework and tests are really relaxed and easy if you look at her power points and pay attention in class.

Im taking lifespan with Amy right now - I dont think I have ever looked forward to going to a class as much as this one. Exciting, loud, fun, and interesting. Shes got great stories and the time flies! I havent taken a test yet but hoping its as planned out as class is everyday. Book is online and that really helps me out.

Amy is an incredible professor, this is my favorite class of all time. Pretty lecture heavy, but she has great polices in place so that students wont be tested on the things she doesnt cover in class. She makes lectures super interesting, and really appreciates students who participate. My absolute favorite professor!

Amy taught Life span Psychology in a way that made the book and notes come to life. I normally do not care for basic lecture/take a test course but this one was different. Every day we had great conversations and time to reflect on our own lives as it related to the lecture. I have a feeling I will remember this class and the information.

She does not except late work, and with everything going on outside of school, that was a total bummer, but the homework wasn't too hard but wasn't too easy. I would take her class again. Psychology can get personal, so she likes to know if we have any issues with the assignments so we can try a plan B assignment. Very sweet.
