Dr. Meeks is awsome! Her lectures are very thorough and she is very intelligent. I enjoy going to class because she encourages discussion but it's not mandatory. Just study the powerpoints and you will do fine. She also replies to her emails which is appreciated. Her temperament is very easy-going and understanding. Great atmosphere for learning!

Attendance isn't mandatory! I didn't go for a full two weeks and managed to get A's on the tests simply because I read the book. She's an extremely nice lady who is willing to help you if you ask!

I absolutely love her. She is a great lecturer, she tells great stories that relate to what we're learning. She gives tons of extra credit and sends out a test review a few days before each test. Attendance is not mandatory, however she gives 2 extra points on each test for perfect attendance. I would definitely take her again!!

She likes to veer off topic a lot and loves class discussion. Only problem is sometimes class discussions take 30 mins and does not pertain to the lecture. She moves SLOW through power points and could take serval days on one chapter. Can be very boring but she's such a great/sweet professor.

Shes an extremely sweet woman and explains things very well, but considering her class size is so large and she has such in depth concepts to teach us, she works entirely too fast for the amount of information we have to comprehend. She also just recently stopped making reviews for us so theres a lot of memorization required.

Great professor, lectures are interesting. The class is test heavy, but if you "put your mind to it" I'm sure you'll find a way to do well. She'll say the book is mandatory, but I fail to see how. She does offer extra credit though. Overall, not bad.

Dr. Meeks is SO wonderful. She really cares about what she's teaching and encourages a lot of reflection throughout her lectures. It's a great opportunity for personal discoveries while also developing professionally within psychology. I'd strongly recommend taking her. Semester = 4 exams + optional final and a few mcgrawhills for every unit.

Fantastic teacher! She is amazing and the class is so fun! It is heavy with McGraw Hill but they are easy and the assignments don't take long. She is super nice and understanding. Take her if you can!! The test are a little more extensive but if you study with the study material she gives than you will get a good grade. Go to class for test info.

Class consisted of 4 exams (optional final), lots of easy busy work/extra credit/and quizzes with unlimited attempts. Lectures were very informational, tests were straightforward, teacher was nice and knowledgeable. Overall, very easy and good for psych majors.

Didn't take any extra credit opportunities and got an A. Tests come from the quiz bank and they're fairly obvious questions anyway. She reads directly off the slides and attendance is required. Miss any more than 3 classes and the highest grade you can get is a B. So she's a tad boring but she was nice.

She is very selective about who she is kind to. If you have trouble paying attention, or learn differently than others, prepare for injustice. Her class is easy, but she as a professor is a hit or miss. Unless you are a good student who learns in say the typical way, you will not recieve any kindness

Lots of homework

Nice professor, very easy to succeed in her class. You can only miss three classes before you start losing points though.

This was my second time taking Meeks and she was just as great as the first time! The test come directly from the quiz bank so take those a bunch of times and you will ace the tests. Lectures can be pretty boring, but make sure to go because after 3 absences, you cannot earn an A. Overall the course was easy and she is nice and understanding.
