Though approachable about lectures , she is defensive when questioned on her grading. There was little distinction between those that put in a great deal of effort and those who did not. My advice: don't kill yourself trying to get a great grade in her class, it won't happen.

Avoid Amy Johnson at all cost. The first exam was easy; the average was too high. The next exam was ridiculous; I dropped from 90% to 63% on the second. The average also dropped. The third exam I got 80% and the average improved. Her essay instructions are vague. You'll know her expectation only when you get the essay back, and that’s horrible.

Dr. Prevost is a thorough prof and her lectures are well crafted. However, she is an extremely tough marker, and its almost impossible to get anything higher than a B- on your written assignments.

Amy makes herself available, marks and responds to emails quickly. She is a tough grader, especially for a first year course. Her tests are difficult even with her study guide, the class averaged 70% every time. If you're looking for a GPA booster, I wouldn't recommend this prof. Content is interesting, but delivered in PPT slides only (online).

I like this class, I found tests to be hard, and she is a hard marker. She will help you if need be and be there to help. She gave me lots of feedback, and I learned so much about writing essays. She has your best interest at heart. Very nice too, but it wasn't a cakewalk.

This online class was all over the place, you were expected to teach yourself as all she does is give you the slide. The quizzes are hard and she is the toughest marker I've had when it comes to papers, especially for a first year class.

Amy was a great professor, she made class engaging and interesting. She was really easy and quick to reply to emails too. We had 2 big papers this semester (one 5 pages and the other 10), which she marks very tough on. She does 3 smaller exams which I really liked, but they are harder than they seem. Amy is a great prof, but a very strict marker.

Amy was a great professor and did not assign too much homework or assignments all at once. She is a tough grader but she offers great feedback and adds comments on papers. She seems to care for her students and wants the best for them.

Amy's class consists of 3 quizzes, a paper, and 1 term paper. The term paper is a bit heavy, but she gives great lectures and there is not a lot of homework. Her tests are all online so you do not have to come to class those days. I would recommend!

She is the best professor at the university hands-down made the class so much more interesting to take. I took her psychopathy class and she makes you want to engage in conversations. She does have a long paper due at the end but other than that her tests were online and super straightforward.

She seems to be super engaged with the course and her students. She doesn't provide her lecture slides online so definitely need to attend classes or have a friend who can fill you in if you happen to miss a class. It was. a hybrid class so the exams were online.. Overall best prof i've had in my three years!!

She seems SO enthused with the content of this course. It makes it so much easier to learn when you have a prof that is engaged with what they do. She gives SO many opportunities for feedback, so 100% take her up on those offers. Slides aren't provided after class but honestly it wasn't hard to keep up unless you miss a few days... Best class yet!!

I took 216 with her and just finished, she was incredible. She is very knowledgeable about the subject, and acknowledges that students have lives outside of school! I cannot recommend her enough, defiantly my favorite prof by far. She is a bit of a tough grader with papers, but nothing too extreme. Super inspirational.

Amy is a good professor compared to others, she definitely made the class informative and fun to take. There are a lot of LONG readings that can not be skimmed and videos. Her marking is incredibly tough especially for a 200 level class, ridiculous expectations. Test questions are also confusing and unclear.

She is a really good professor, professional, organized, and very nice. Reading is heavy in the course, but the lectures are very good and she gives good feedback on your work. The only kicker is that I didn't feel like I could share my opinions on the topic as there is a one-sided view that the class seems to have. Otherwise awesome person.

if you get Amy as ur prof, you should be looking forward to only 3 exams(which are online and are multiple choice questions only) and only two papers. For her crim 100 class, we only had two papers which were pretty straight forward, though the second one seemed a little tough. The exams were super chill, all of her exams only have 40 questions.

Attendance was not mandatory but slides were not posted. There were readings every week but they were posted so no textbook required. Only two papers and three exams. All three exams were 40 questions and online. She was very accessible outside of class. Always willing to go over exams or go over an outline of a paper.

Amy is a great prof. Although this semester has been unstable class-wise due to unpredicted personal circumstances, she has kept great communication throughout the whole thing. As for the few lectures I got to have in person they were amazing and the only downside to the class was that I didn't get to see more of them.

She gives good lectures, which are in-class small group activities: no presenting, just talking about topics. Her tests are online, and they are hard. You need to read the textbook, everything in her lecture is from the textbook. Super accessible outside of class, and gives great feedback. Her papers are tough though; she marks them soooo hard.
