she is the ONLY TA to get for psy 215.....this class is soooo hard. but she keeps labs easy and short. and she will revise your papers for you as many times as you want. plus, if you have a question about part of it she practically re-writes it for you! she is sooooo nice! HIGHLY reccomended!!!!
Awesome and extremely helpful. She is starting to teach some bigger classes now (Psy 311), so she might not be as available for help. Has somewhat of an accent, but is very sweet.
BEST TA EVER! If you can't get her for 215, DON'T TAKE IT! Worked with her in the lab as well, and is just the most helpful grad student I worked with! Amazingly sweet!
great teacher, extremely helpful, willing to curve & add bonus on tests.
Great teacher and gets her material across at the level you can comprehend.Uses many examples which helps you remember almost everything for an exam.She is very easy, Exam2 class avg was 90% /w 200+ students.She asks the class how they prefer the exam to be made (mult choice, fill-in blnk, etc) and goes over questions almost the same as the exam's.
She is a great teacher! Let's you chose what you want on your own test. Gives you alot of answers to the test on review sessions. shes also funny, too. If you are taking psych.. YOU WANT HER!
Andrea is very helpful. she will help to understand an unclear entities and she is extremely nice. Her tests are so easy as long as you study She's only a TA so she's not hung up on a power trip.
Very helpful for a class that has difficult material. Stats is never fun, but she did a good job explaining. Definitely recommend.
Her accent is hard to understand sometimes, but she is always smiling and ready to teach.
very nice
She is Awesome! The best teacher ever. I love her accent, and she makes it all very interesting!
She makes class fun by always being up beat and happy. She explains things in a way thats easy to understand what she talking about.
She is a very helpful and nice teacher but the class is boring no matter what. The test are mulitiple choice but have tricky questions. the lab sucks but could be alot worse. If you have to take 215 take her.
She's so happy all the time that class is never boring even if you pay no attention.
She is so cute and happy. She will even modify test formats according to what the class wants.
Andrea is the nicest teacher I've ever had. She really cares about her students and her teaching. I really enjoy her classes and her english is superb. Her accent makes her more interesting to listen to rather than difficult to understand like some teachers. I've had one of her classes twice now and plan on taking her again.
I love this class! She is mostly defintely the nicest professor I have had in college!
easy A if you get the notes and study
she is very friendly and helpful. does a review before all the tests. tests are all multiple choice and easy. i strongly recommend this professor.
Go to class, take notes, study, and class is easy. I think what got most people was lab. Although it's easy (two papers -- long, but quick once you get the intro done), a lot of people failed to make sure they had it correctly done before turning in the specific sections each week. Just double check with the examples in the text. Easy class!!! :)
She is so cute and you won't fall asleep. She gives you handouts b/c she talks really fast. Don't buy the book!! She gives great examples and does a review for every test. Attend for the most part and study minimally and you will get an A!
Easy class, easy material. Didn't use the textbook at all. Gives handouts for notes, but its helpful to go & write in comments. Tests are all easy, straight forward multiple choice.
great professor....over explains majority of things, but i guess thats a good thing. no need for the book test a directly from the notes, but the book will help you wil extra praticed. overall good class. watch what TA you get (Bolin dont do it). TA can make the class diffcult
For this class all you have to is show up, take notes, and go to lab. She gives you a review sheet for each exam, which is basically every thing in your notes. Her test, she ask you straight forward questions, look over the notes about three times, out some effort in to it and you'll ace it. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THE PROFESSOR.
She's soo nice and has a really easy class. I have her this semester and I'm taking her class next semester. The TA you get will really make or break your lab. Tests are easy, lectures have a power point to go along with them. If you make at least 2 friends in that class you don't have to even worry about going all the time.
She's a great teacher. She has a powerpoint that explains everything very well. She gives a review outline before every test. As long as you know what's on the outline, you'll ace it. The book is helpful for extra examples on things you're not clear about, but not necessary. She's a great teacher. I have an A, and don'really do much.
I really liked Andrea. She only tests on the material she covers in class so if you go to class theres not much studying you have to do for her.
Probably the friendliest and most helpful professor of my whole freshman year. She is funny too, especially when she mispronounces words. Her tests are simple, all you have to do is go to class and look over the review sheet. If you take this course, make sure you take her, even if you have to wait until the next semester, because it is worth it.
Most adorable teacher ever. She makes sure you understand all the concepts really well. If you go to class, there's no need for the book, her tests are all from what she goes over in class. Tests were all pretty easy (especially the 1st one). Psych. majors take 215 with her if you have the chance.
She was an amazing teacher! Her tests are really easy. She loves teaching and the students respond well to her. Great class
She is such an amazing teacher! I love Andrea, she wants you to call her that. Notes are straight from powerpoints, all test questions come from her notes or what she said in class. Tests are easy and that lab is not hard either. Take this class with her! We never use the book, don't even bother buying it.

Andrea is the best teacher I've ever had at UK. Her lectures are fun and enjoyable. She loves teaching and really knows her stuff. Her exams are straight from her powerpoints and she will never include anything on the exams that hasnt been covered in class. I loved her! Class was so fun!!
My favorite professor of my entire college career! Had her for PSY 100 and PSY 215 as well. Her PSY 311 class isn't as easy as 100 and 215, but as long as you go to class and take notes it's not too difficult. She is very helpful and so incredibly nice!
Meh, I found her lectures rather boring and dull -- occasionally an interesting ancedote was thrown it, but her overuse of examples was quite a bit of a turn off. Take the class for an easy A, but not if you want to get excited about psychology.
great teacher. very helpful and motivated for the sucess of each student.
Good teacher. Sometimes hard to understand. Easy. No book required.
She is probably the nicest and most helpful professor I have had in college. The class was somewhat boring but that was because of the material being taught. Attendence is not required but is very beneficial because she explains all the of the subject matter in great detail. If you go to class and study an A or B is very possible.
She is a great lecturer(sp) and her exams reflect the class notes about 96%. A higher course receives paper notes. 215 & 311 she gives a study guide. Solid B, work hard to get an A
She is a great teacher!!!!!You should definitely take her.
Easy class, good professor, and for an entry level psych class she keeps it fairly interesting and relevant.
Pretty interesting class. VERY passionate about psych- she will tell you her experiments about putting mice in sensory deprived boxes to test if they get addicted to drugs or not... creepy but whatever.
She is awesome! I hate lecture classes but I truly enjoyed her class. She tells such interesting stories to go along with the material its much easier to pay attention in her class than in my other lecture classes. Her tests are relatively easy if you are there to take notes in class. She gives great study guides as well. Definately take her class!
I had Andrea for 100 and 215 and I'm taking her for 311. She is very friendly and really cares about her students. She's Brazilian, but isn't that difficult to understand and her tests are straight from her lectures - no need in buying the books!
Super easy class, tests come straight from lecture. I bought book and didn't use it. I skipped all the lectures for one test, bought KY Class notes and got an 88. She is entertaining and easy to solve conflicts with. Make sure you do all your research hours because she doesn't make exceptions for those.
I've taken Andrea for two courses (215 & 311) & I've really enjoyed her teaching. She's always cheerful & doing her best to make sure you understand her during lecture. You don't need the textbook if you attend lecture regularly -- she is straight forward & provides study guides for each exam. She will clear up misunderstandings with her accent.
Very wonderful professor. Really helps content stick in such a dry boring class. Tests are strictly based on the notes she gives in class, so attendance is recommended, however, not mandatory.
Great professor. Uses really good examples in lecture to help you understand material. Exams aren't hard, just read over your notes several times. Going to lab definitely helps your grade too.
Understandable, but class is still a drag. Awesome accent!
Tests were pretty hard. A lot of it came from the book, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE STUDY GUIDE!!! The class itself was pretty boring, but that's expected with this material (she even tells you it will be boring at the beginning)
She is an excellent professor. Unlike some other professors, she doesn't write her own reviews. The textbook supplements her lectures well. Ya.
I have also had her for PSY 311, 215 and 216. She is my favorite teacher at UK. She is very easy as well as interesting. You do not need to purchase the book and if you go to class and take notes you will get an A. I never studied more than reading over my notes one time. Take her for every class that you can
Very easy class, study a couple of days before the exam and you should be fine. Go to class, get the notes, the test are over those only. Book is not a necessity. Great teacher, in fact i'm signed up for her PSY 216 and PSY 311 class.
She is an AMAZING professor. This is the easiest class I have ever taken. Do not buy the book...everything on the tests are straight from lecture notes. You should go to class, and make sure to get the study guide before tests. She is SOO Nice and extremely helpful. I am taking her next fall for 215 because I liked her so much!
She is one of the easiest psych teachers at UK and the tests come from lectures not the book!
This class is great! I didn't go to class once and I got a B plus. She is the easiest of all the psych 100 teachers and she is super nice. Also, she was pregnant when I had her! Still nice! I would recommend her for sure!
I love andrea! If you go to all the classes or at least get the notes from all of the classes you will get an A. She is very accommodating. I took her for psych 100 and 215 and I am taking her for 311.
I love this professor. You can tell she has a passion for psychology and she always gives great examples. I will be taking her for 215 in the fall!
I loved going to class everyday just to see this beautiful Brazilian goddess teach. She is one of the nicest people I know, and is very helpful and the class is very easy to do well in. Highly recommend
She is a wonderful professor- definitely take her if you can. The PSY 215 material is a little boring, but she admits this in the beginning, and gives great examples to try and make class a little more fun. I've signed up for her PSY 311 class in the fall as well.
Fav prof at UK! She gives very clear and specific examples in class to help you understand concepts better. I got an A in the class just by studying her notes. She'll tell you not to buy the book b/c you ONLY need to study HER notes. You need to go to class everyday to copy her ppt slides. The TA's grade REALLY hard in every section!
Took her for PSY 100, 215, 216, and 311. She explains everything in lots of detail and gives plenty of examples. At times, this is a negative, because it makes the class move along sluggishly, but it makes for an easy A if you go to class and pay attention. She is also super understanding and helpful. One, if not, my favorite teachers at UK
Such a sweet lady! Loved her class. Didn't buy the text book and missed a couple classes and got an A. Take her!!
Her class is very easy & she explains the material really well. As long as you go to class and pay attention, you will be fine on exams. Don't buy book unless you plan on missing a lot of class -I missed a few and the book was helpful. Exams are only over what she covers in class and very easy. Look over notes 2x before & you can get an A easily
Andrea is by far the best teacher I've had at UK! She is always friendly and helpful and understanding! Her tests are easy as long as you read over your notes; the textbook is DEFINITELY NOT REQUIRED!! Such an easy class, and very interesting too. :)
Love, love, loved this class so much that I even acquired psych as a minor! Dr. Friedrich presents the material in an easy-to-understand manor and makes the subject fun with lots of great examples.
Really knows her stuff and I already have a psych minor and this class made me want to become a major!
Tests are composed directly from the notes. Uses a variety of slide lectures and short videos. Tries to give clear examples. Has a slight accent that was distracting for a few days. Very nice and willing to work with you.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Extremely clear, friendly, approachable; if you attend class, you won't need the book, but if you skip class, you can just read the book and catch up! A wonderful teacher.
Best teacher I have EVER had. She is such a wonderful instructor. She is passionate, easy to understand, and friendly. Don't bother buying the book unless you skip class. Attendance is not mandatory, but she doesn't post slides online, so do whatever work. Her tests are easy, I've gotten a 100% on one. (She doesn't curve) I highly recommend her.
Super professor, really interested in her subject and conveys that passion to her students. Very helpful, available to students outside of class. Highly recommend!
Attend class & take good notes. Textbook not mandatory for an A. Study notes well before exam & get an A. She covers material very in depth and slow. If she can't cover material before exam, she doesn't test on it. Asks class what info we want on exam & what format (# of questions, etc.). Great professor.
Best psychology professor at UK without a doubt. She stayed after class so I could get the notes when I had to miss a class. She's very considerate and a wonderful person, which makes her a great professor.
Has to be the best psych professor at UK! I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. She has an accent, but it isn't bad and she's aware of it and tries her very best to make sure students understand her. Super easy class, never touched the book. Attendance isn't required but she doesn't put the ppt slides online so it is helpful to go to class. Never gives homework!
Nicest, happiest, most passionate and helpful professor ever! Easy A, simply go to class. PowerPoints are not posted so always take your own notes. Make class fun & very interesting. Talks about her children a lot and uses many many examples to explain the topics discussed. Easy to understand and makes the time go by very quickly!
She has a bit of an accent because she's from Brazil, but that will only take a couple days to get over it. She is very helpful always making sure we understand material and goes at a good pace right along with whats in the book. She also gives a study guide for tests. Easy A
LOVE LOVE LOVE this class and this teacher. She is one of my favorite teachers so far! I really loved her lectures but hated recitation because there was really no point to it. Dr. Fredrich is so helpful if you don't understand something and is so sweet! Definitely take her if you have the opportunity.
GREAT class. She has powerpoint slides that go along with notes. The notes are exactly what's on the test and she gives you a study guide. She has a lot of charisma and keeps the class interesting.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!She is absolutely wonderful to say the least. She always keeps class really interesting by providing examples from her own life, I really liked that because I feel like you get to know her better. She does have an accent but after the first week you get used to it and then it just adds to her bubbly personality. Great class!
absolutely awesome teacher. one of the best. super friendly, always willing to help, and overall a really great experience. love her!
She had a wealth of knowledge about the subject matter as it was her area of research. The material was presented in a straight forward manner and exams were straight from the notes.
By far the best professor I have had at UK! Knows so much about psychology and cares for her students grades and understanding. Tests are not too bad and she explains everything in a lot of detail.
Dr.Friedrich is awesome. Everything on her tests are from her powerpoints-every single question-and she organizes her powerpoints extremely well and simply. Definitely take her for 215.
Dr. Friedrich is a great professor. If you go to lecture, you will barely have to study. I never opened my textbook and still wound up with an A. She gives good examples and makes the material interesting. I highly recommend her.
Super easy class. All the notes from the lectures are on the test; she doesn't put any other material on the exams. Attendance isn't mandatory but you must get the lecture notes to pass the class. Labs were also super easy.
super easy just go to class and pay attention you wont even have to really study for the exams.
Dr. Friedrich is an amazing teacher! Her lectures are always interesting and easy to follow. I try to take her for as many psych classes as i can after having her for intro to psych. Her tests are easy to study for and she doesn't require you to buy a textbook. I would recommend taking her for whatever classes you can.
Dr. Friedrich's class was my favorite at UK! Her lectures were great, everything was clear and if you had any problems understanding she could come up with an example that helped clarify. Take this class!
Wonderful professor! I've had her for PSY 100 and PSY 215. Her lectures are very clear and easy to follow. She only tests you over what she covers in class; you don't even need the textbook.
If you go to class, take notes, and look over the study guide it's an easy A. Professor Friedrich lays out information in a very simple and easy way. There's no tricks, and exams are only over information she's covered in lecture! Take her if possible.
Very friendly professor. She posted outlines of her notes online to follow along in class/take extra notes on. Her tests were easy if you study. I would recommend going to class most of the time and definitely study prior to tests.
All of her classes are taught the same. She provides outlined notes. I recommend going to class, as she expands on what's in the outline and you will be lost if you don't. She gives study guides for the test and it's taken directly from what's taught in class.
Fantastic teacher - just FANTASTIC
Dr. Friedrich is such a good teacher. As long as you go to lecture/lab you should do well. Tests are easy and come directly from lectures. Overall it's a good course for the core requirement!
Great teacher, her test are her exact notes and she takes topics off the test if she did not cover it. I would go to class if you are taking her lecture because she says a few things that aren't in the notes
She covers everything on the test in each lecture and they are interesting as well. Tests are easy and as long as you go to class, it is an easy A.
Dr. Friedrich was very reasonable. She always presents material with a smile on her face and it seems like she loves doing it. Her class is very straight-forward, simple, and organized. She is very approachable and is a fair grader with average tests. Would definitely recommend.
First off, I never bought the book for this class. That being said, I went to almost every lecture and got an A. Her tests are directly from lecture, and if you pay attention and take good notes, it is an easy A . She is a good lecturer and understands she has a thick accent so she makes sure to speak clearly. Great class.
Dr. Friedrich is a great professor! Her lecture notes are very clear and she gives a lot of examples. The exams are pretty easy if you go to class - basically everything she covers in lecture is on the exam. She also provides study guides. I would recommend taking her!
Really enjoyed this class. Dr. Friedrich's a very happy person knows Psych inside out. She's from Brazil & has an accent, but isn't an issue. If anything she'll laugh with the class when she can't pronounce a word correctly. Tests seem easy but are fairly hard. BUT she lets students vote on how many Qs there are, & if they'll be MC or TF.
She is a great teacher. Book not necessary because all info on exams are given in lecture that attendance isn't, required unless you want to pass. Hardest part is the discretion of the grades in Lab depending on TA. Easy A. I only got a B because I did not attend class when school first started, and I failed test. GO TO CLASS AND TAKE NOTES & STUDY
She's the best. I have had her twice my freshman year and I'm looking to be in any of her other classes offered as much as possible throughout my college career. She inspired me to look into a career that I never knew existed. I absolutely LOVE her. EVERYBODY should take her. She's super sweet too.
She's such a wonderful professor. She's truly passionate about what she does and inspires me to be passionate about what I want to do with my psychology degree. There is only one assignment in this class, it's a group project and it's super easy. You pick your topic, sign up for it, do the project and that's it. I enjoy going to class, it's great!

The class was mainly her assigning group presentations and then interjecting feedback and advice, so it was a really chill class.
She is great. Recommend her for PSY 100. She understand students. LOL
She's brazilian and has a very thick accent, but her powerpoint are very clear. If you don't come to lectures there is almost no way you will pass because she says things on the text that are specifically on the exam. She's very nice and willing to help.
She's very willing to help you if you ask for it. Don't be afraid to ask her to clarify something, because she does have a thick accent. DON'T SKIP LECTURE! Pay attention to all of the examples that she gives - including the ones about her family. They will more than likely be reiterated on the test.
All the tests are straight out of the notes, make notecards for her lectures and you'll easily get an A. There's not a lot of homework at all. Don't buy the book
SHES AMAZING AND SO NICE AND SO CUTE AND FUNNY. LOVE HER AND WISH I HAD HER FOR ALL MY CLASSES. SOMETIMES THE TA'S ARE ANNOYING AND NOBODY LIKES LAB BUT THE LECTURES ARE GREAT. SHES REALLY FRIENDLY AND SWEET.
She is awesome. So sweet and helpful. The exams come straight from notes so don't buy the book! Lectures are always interesting.
THIS CLASS HAS NO HOMEWORK!!! MOST PSYCH CLASSES DO! To pass: Go to class/lab, take notes, and actually understand the topics. Don't just memorize definitions and stuff. Actually relate them to real life examples so that you understand them more. Do that and you'll be fine!
She is literally the sweetest woman you will ever meet. Attend class, as exam material comes straight from the lectures. Awesome professor.
I loved the class. Andrea's a great professor! If you are worried about her accent, don't be; she is very aware of it and will repeat anything if you don't understand what she is saying. Also, attend class and study all examples she gives. All exam material comes from lecture and if she doesn't cover a topic it will NOT be on the exam.
Andrea was such a great professor! Lectures were amazing and SO easy to follow along with. She presents the material in a very memorable way which makes studying for the tests a little less daunting. Tests are all multiple choice and if you go to class and take the notes you will pass! I didn't have the textbook and I did just fine.
This is the second time I have had Dr. Friedrich and just like before, she is fantastic. If you have the ability to have her as your professor, jump on it!
Glad I had Dr. Friedrich as my prof for my first PSY class. I highly recommend her! She is funny and understanding to her students. This is a very large lecture class so you will not really get one on one time with her, but there are tons of resources to help you out. Always go to class because your grade is basically tests and your few lab grades.
She is a very good professor, but her test are extremely hard and if you don't attend lecture you have no chance of passing. Studying is a must or you won't pass because her test are extremely difficult.
Very energetic and always ready to help
Dr. Friedrich is great! She wants you to understand the overall concepts not the exact definition for exams. She uses a lot of examples, one of them being how she classically conditioned her daughter. Try to sit in the front row b/c the slides are hard to read sometimes, her mic doesn't always work, and she remembers you (which is a good thing)!
Dr. Friedrich was a super nice lady! She was always so friendly and her lectures were good! She is Brazilian, but her accent never got in the way of understanding her lectures. Class is not mandatory, buy her tests are all based on lecture, so I would recommend going!
I loved Professor Freidrich! She was by far the best professor I've had
Andrea is an amazing professor. Full of energy, very sweet, and incredibly caring for a 300-student lecture. One major paper in the class- make sure you turn it in on time. Makes lectures interesting. Doesn't put notes online, but skipping a few classes won't kill your grade.
Super nice but class lectures are hard to follow along. Lots of material on each exam so make sure you go to her class to keep up!
Good professor
Dr. Friedrich is engaging, enthusiastic and intelligent. Good lectures, would definitely recommend going but not absolutely necessary to pass. Despite a few others saying her tests are very hard, they are not above a 100 level course difficulty. I would recommend Dr. Friedrich to anyone.
Andrea is a great professor. She always takes her time explaining things during lecture, making material easier to understand. The tests can be difficult, because it is about applying the information not just knowing it. Once you get a good grip on note taking and study methods, this class is a breeze! There is no homework, only 1 paper, and 4 test
Dr. Friedrich is a very caring and compassionate professor. She makes sure everyone understands the material and goes at a reasonable pace. She also tells GREAT examples that make complex concepts easier to comprehend.
Dr. Friedrich is such a great professor! She is so sweet and the class is very manageable. Definitely take her if you get the chance.
I never showed up for class, and still managed a B in the class--i underestimated the difficulty of material. It's truly not THAT hard to understand, but i would advise to go to class because she gives really great examples that help on the exam (ok, i went a couple times and i had her for PSY100).
Dr. Friedrich is really awesome. Her test questions require application rather than memorization. She moves pretty slowly in lecture, so the class is not overwhelming. The lectures and readings are not always connected, so reading the textbook is not enough to do well. Otherwise, she's pretty easyand actually delightful.
Andrea is the sweetest professor I've ever had. I loved her class and she was a genuinely nice person.
I loved Dr. Friedrich!! She uses a lot of examples to help us understand the content. Explains everything very well. Labs are easy! As long as you come to class, take notes, and study you will pass easily! Very interesting class!
Dr. Friedrich is an incredible person and I absolutely adored her class. Her accent is thick but easy to get used to, she provides so many examples for everything and makes difficult material so much easier to follow. There was a project and weekly homework along with exams, but it was never overwhelming.
Dr. Friedrich is entertaining and a really nice lady. She explains the content very well but often rambles. Lectures are informative but boring. This class was laughably easy, and she's a great professor. Labs were super easy. Just know the concepts. If she doesn't get to material, she takes it off the exams. Definitely take her!
Nicest professor I had at UK. Go out of your way to take her! Her tests are super easy if you go to lecture.
Cares about her students. Tests are not very hard if you pay attention and take notes!
Andrea Friedrich is very sweet, and her love for psychology seems to make the class much more interesting than it already is. Shes very helpful, and gives many reminders for due dates and deadlines. I definitely recommend taking a course with her. You wont regret it!
I love this teacher! She is the reason I am going to pursue a minor in psych simply because I want to learn more. Definitely take her if you have the opportunity. She reminds me a lot of my own mom!!!
TAKE HER. Class is extremely easy, no need to read the online texts. The only outside of class work are the online labs once a week that are SUPER easy and quick. Exam material is literally straight from her powerpoints, so just type down everything on the powerpoints, read over it all a couple times before the exam and you'll get an A.
She was a wonderful professor who genuinely loved all of her students and what she was talking about. As long as you take notes, do the online labs, and study for exams you should pass with a high grade. I would definitely take her again, only thing I would do differently is start signing up for SONA research as soon as it begins.
If you pay attention in lecture and take notes you hardly have to study for the exams.
I showed up for lecture and took all of my notes in the form of quizlet with the study guide for each test open. Studied the notecards the night before, and got an A on every test. Andrea is so sweet and honestly such an easy teacher. Definitely recommend!!
Definitely my favorite professor of the semester. Lectures are very easy to follow because she uses powerpoint and gives you time to take notes. Everything on the exams will be covered in class. Very easy to get a hold of outside of class.
Andrea is an amazing professor! She is a super nice lady who makes lectures enjoyable. The labs were online and super easy. Attendance is not mandatory but her tests come directly from her lecture notes so I definitely don't recommend skipping! Super easy class.
She is very nice and the class can be considered easy so long as you attend. However even with attendebce the tests are difficult. You will not be tested on terms but on applying them
She was a very nice professor and her lectures are somewhat interesting. She makes handouts of the notes which are helpful. However, her homeworks are unnecessarily time consuming and some are graded very tough. Her tests are much harder than they need to be. She assigns a group video project that is extremely pointless.
Friedrich is very good at teaching the information presented in lecture but makes the content more difficult than it should be. Homework is usually a way for people to boost their grades overall if they do poorly on tests. The homework is graded way too harshly and you don't even get feedback on it many times. The essays on tests on the same way.
The textbook is online and free. Her lectures are good and contain a lot of information and she does not post them. She has study reviews before the tests.
She obviously cares a lot about her subject and is excited to teach her students.
Dr. Freiedrich is a great professor and definitely knows what she is talking about when teaching. Often give hilarious personal stories relating to the topic shes teaching. Would take her classes again in the future.
Professor Friedrich cares about her material and her students success. Go to class and take good and thorough notes and you will do fine. Tests are somewhat difficult, spend time studying the notes.
Wonderful professor! She relates all of her content to everyday scenarios and it's super easy to understand.
She is very consistent. Once you learn her system you always know what is coming next.
Absolutely loved Dr. Fierdrich. Very sweet and cares about your success! Also, super approachable and will help explain anything you don't understand. Listen to her examples because they will be on the test. Just listen to her lectures and youll get an A. DEFINITELY recommend taking her.
she is not from the U.S. very hard to understand. i made the mistake of not paying attention at all this semester and my grade reflects that. she actually is very hard that is no joke. do not take this for an easy A
She's nice but hard to understand, her exams are hard! 4 exams 75 pts (2) and 100 pts (2). I did well on first 2 and bad on the 3rd so couldn't get an A. for a 100 level class the exams are harder than you would think.
Very sweet and cares about her class. Exams are a little hard so pay attention to lectures and labs
She is super sweet and makes sure that you understand the concepts when she talks about them. Take really good notes though, so that means that going to class is very important. The tests are a little tough since they are centered around examples instead of definitions, but the class is pretty doable. Don't take if you're lazy and don't go to class
Classes are her reading from powerpoints and us taking notes, doesn't post them online so try not to miss a class. Tests usually have some questions that are specific and not really talked about, have yet to get an A on an exam. Outside online labs and SONA research can be done between periods.
She is a pretty good psychology professor but she is kind of hard to understand at points. She is very passionate about psych and talks very quick. She does always have a review session before the tests, & if you study you should do well on the exams. There is also Sona research which is worth many points and should be completed as soon as you can.
Dr. Friedrich is a great psych professor. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she doesn't post the lecture powerpoints so it might as well be. I hardly ever studied for any of the exams and got an A on every single one. All you have to do is show up and take notes. Easy A, and the final isn't cumulative.
Don't even bother reaching out to this professor for help, she won't answer. You can blow up her email and she still won't answer. If she does, she's very short and not helpful. Took this class during COVID so we couldn't meet in person but still wouldn't set up zoom with me. Cares so little about helping her students and does the bare minimum.
Andrea is a great professor! She can be a little hard to understand at times, but overall does not make the class too difficult. The tests are more example based than definition based, but there are helpful reviews prior to the exams. There is also a quizlet made before each exam I used to study under the user: tntharp1
I absolutely love professor Friedrich. She is super sweet and the lectures are easy to follow. She does have a heavy accent but you will get used to it very quickly. The tests are pretty basic just study a bit before and youll be fine!
Dr. Friedrich is very knowledgeable about her field, and she's also very friendly and approachable! Attendance is mandatory, and she also doesn't post her lecture slides, so definitely go to class. The textbook is "required" but I never bought it and never needed to. Overall good class!
Hard test but easy labs every week.
This class was just lots of online video lectures (due to COVID). She was understanding, but the lectures seemed like they were filmed for middle school children. The lab component was extremely boring and tedious. Exams were average, just like most of the class. She seems like a very nice teacher, but definitely felt like a 100-level class.
Professor Friedrich made notes very interesting. I really enjoyed the way she taught the class. The exam content was based on application and so it was not easy to answer 60 questions in 60 minutes but the exams, content wise, was fair.
Do not take Professor Friedrich!! She is horrible at responding to emails, and her lectures have a ton of videos rather than her teaching the content herself. The tests were in a horrible format where every time you answer a question you cannot go back, with answers not getting released later so students could review what they got wrong.
just don't
Professor Friedrich did a very good job at teaching the material. The grades are from weekly labs and four tests. Not a hard class at all, just go to lectures and take notes and you will be fine.
She was very nice and also easy to get ahold of. She doesn't take attendance but I would recommend attending class for the lectures because everything in the lectures will be on the exams. If you do the labs and study for the exams, you'll be fine. She says you are supposed to be reading the "textbook" outside of class but I didn't and had a B.
The best I mean take her for psychology you will not regret it. Her lectures are great and the examples she provides are on point. Your best friend is definitely the study guide she provides for each exam! She is a 6/5 hands down
Her attitude
I love her. Her teaching style is easy to follow. I'd take a class of hers every semester if I could.
Very good, actually learned in this class! Go to lectures!
Her class is easy if you go to lectures. A lot of students can get a decent grade by just lectures but I found it to be easier if I also took notes from the textbook. She provides the textbook for free online. Her tests always have at least one question that you cannot get wrong but otherwise you'll most likely need to do some studying.
She is a really good teacher. If you are taking PSY 100, you need to take her. She is so nice and caring and gives such easy notes. Her tests are a little hard so just pay attention in class. Such an easy teacher, take her.
If I had to take psych again, I would take it online. All you do in class is write notes. The only work outside of class is the lab, research participation, and a few discussion posts. Her test and kinda hard. She does offer the textbook free online. Attendance is not mandatory and if you can get the notes from someone, you don't need to go.
Andrea is the best PSY 100 professor and truly cares about her students. Labs are fully online, and your grade depends on labs and exams alone. The exams were not cumulative and she offered multiple extra credit opportunities in the last 2 weeks of the semester. There is a lot of material but much of it is self-explanatory.
This class is easy except for when it comes to exams. lecture is not required but you should attend if you want to receive a good grade on the exams. Labs and sona participation is super easy to complete. The professor tends to wander off topic and does not post her slideshows or send them to you if you are absent which makes exams a struggle.
She was an amazing professor I would love to have her again if I could.
I love Andrea's lectures. She is so sweet and engaging. Her tests, however are very hard and very application based. Take good notes on everything she says, not just whats on the slides. She doesn't post the slides either. That said, her engaging lecture and kind personality make up for it
she was a sweet person but i hated her lectures. definitely passionate about cognition but rambles and drags things out. you MUST take the notes in class, because she doesn't believe in uploading the power points. will do in-class assignments randomly. grades on a 500-point scales (i.e: 450-500 is an A).
It's obvious she cares about her students and she's very understanding! Lectures were interesting and you should show up since they aren't posted. The tests were a lot harder than the study guides so make sure to really study the material and have examples in mind for everything.
I really liked her bubbly personality, and you could tell she cared for her students. I will say that you should definitely study and take notes for the test. Also, you need to make sure you don't miss any homework assignments, because she doesn't take late work, and there are only 500 points in the whole course (each homework is worth 10 points)
Super interesting lectures and she is obviously excited about the material. She doesn't take attendance but there are a few in class assignments that can only be done if you're in class. You should really study for tests, but if you spend a decent amount of time reviewing notes and going through the homework assignments you'll be fine.
Andrea's PSY100 class is a great choice. Her engaging lectures and kind personality make up for the challenging exams. I found Unstuck ai and ChatGPT helpful for study prep.
One of the nicest professors ever. I didn't love all of the in class activities, but honestly she made up for it and her tests were fair!
I took her 310 and 195 at the same time. Its not that I wouldn't take her class again, it's not like I wouldn't take her class again, its more like if I had a choice. Exam 1 will get u bc some of the definitions are same (i failed), 2nd is much easier! She doesn't give out the PPs which sucks. EXs in class are key to understanding the content more!
Honestly, this has been my easiest class. She was a great professor. Knew how to explain thing in a way that was easy to digest. You do have to show up to class, as she will not post any notes on Canvas, but the lectures are fun and interesting. We did not have a textbook. Everything you needed for homework was embedded within the work itself.
Dr. Friedrich is amazing! She is so sweet and very understanding. PSY195 is just a career planning and info class so the level of difficulty was very easy. But, she cares deeply about teaching and her students. Very good to take as a psych major and can answer any questions about material or anything in general. One of my favorites.
Dr friedrich is an overall amazing proffesor as well as an amazing person. She genuinely cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. I love her.
