This professor is new this year and this one is a winner!! She is funny and likes to make psy interesting. She gives a study quide before the tests so if you do them you should make an A.
This professor is pretty, smart, funny and very helpful. I would highly recommend taking her class.
Great insturctor! So helpful and understanding. I would advise anyone taking psy 200 or 210 at JSCC to enroll into her classes.
Soooooooo easy! You dont have to do much. i didn't learn much but still got an A.
I love this class! The teacher is amazing, she is so nice and funny. I recommend this class to anyone if your looking for an EASY A.
She is so sweet and is extremely funny. Even if you aren't interested in this subject at all, she makes it so fun and easy to learn. I didn't buy a textbook for this class and I am passing with an A. Very small amount of homework.
decent teacher... needs to stay focused more and stay on topic..
Probably the easiest course I have ever and will ever take. Very nice lady and very helpful.
Doesn't really teach but she has a good personality and is very friendly. It is an easy A
Good teacher! very very very easy class!! easy but i actually learn a lot of stuff! i definately recommend her if you have to take psychology!
The only thing required to make a an A is a heart beat, able to go to class, and little brain function. Very Easy.
amazing. helpful. amazing
Piece of cake. like they said. just show up and you pass. don't show up, you fail. she cusses a lot and makes you watch R rated movies, but most ppl don't have a problem w/ that. She was hilarious and was great at helping you learn things. I still to this day remember Chippy the Squirrel!
She is one of the most nicest and understanding teachers I have ever met, and she makes everything easy to understand.
LOVE THIS TEACHER!!! I would NEVER take another Psychology teacher. She is so interesting and funny. Her class always seems to like her and that makes it so much more enjoyable. She cares and if you need anything you can talk to her!
Ms. Ford is sweet but too passive. she makes the whole class suffer with an essay question on the final test if a student text or use any type of electronic device during her lecture. which I feel is not fair since her syllabus states that if you're caught using any type of electronic device during class you will be asked to leave.
Ms. Ford is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. I was in a Friday class that lasted 2 1/2 hours. She made the time go by fast and I actually looked foward to comming to class on Friday. If you listen in class, the tests will be a breeze. I would highly recommend her to anyone taking Psychology.
Ms Ford is a great teacher but can be easily side tracked with current events. When we finally got down to Psy she made it interesting and fun. Her test are easy... multiply choice questions (50)...made an A out of her class. Highly Recommended!
I highly recomend Ms Ford. Only draw back-she would get sidetracked by comments made in class that had nothing to do with the course or spent too much time one topic leaving little time for other topics. Other than that-no book req. She gave you all the notes needed & test quest were right out of notes-all Multi Choice. Wonderful and caring person.
Ms. Ford is one of the most amazing teachers ever. She is the most caring person about you as a person and about the grade that she gives in your class. I took her for Psy 200 and 210 and was pretty bummed about not being in her class again. She hasn't only been a teacher, but a friend.
Great caring teacher. She gets sidetracked at times, but knows the material and makes it interesting. Tests are directly from notes she gives. A professor that cares about her students and makes class fun.
Ms. Ford is one of the sweetest teachers I've ever met. Definitely my favorite this semester. Yes, she gets sidetracked and is easy, but you will walk away with a greater knowledge of the subject. She's very understanding and does her best to help students pass, but she does expect you to pay attention in class.
This woman is hillarious. She knows what she's talking about, but unfortunaltey she can trail off sometimes. Her class is not hard at all, as long as you pay attention and take notes you will do well. She's a really nice lady. I would take her again in a heartbeat!
L-O-V-E Ms. Ford. If all instructors actually took an interest in making sure their students understood like she does, there would be higher retention and pass rates. It also helps that you have fun while learning. I really can't say enough great things about her.
She offers extra credit and is pretty flexible. I think anyone that puts forth a little effort could get an A in this class.
If you get the opportunity to take her you def should! She's the absolute best.
She is a wonderful teacher, very helpful and understanding. She is by far the best teacher at this school, I wish I could have have her for all my other classes. Love her, Lover her class, and I know you will love her too. =)
She is a great teacher! Mrs. Ford is good at communicating with the class and her lectures are extremely enjoyable! I would recommend her to anyone! If you take notes and study for her tests the class is an easy a!
Funny woman. Looooves talking about her pugs and gets off topic very easily. Easy course if you attend. She knows the subject material well. Take her if you'd like to fill your PSY requirement with an easier grade. 2 Exams (midterm, final) at 100 points each, 1 video quiz on the movie "Identity" worth 25, notes taken worth 25. 250pts total.
This class was so easy! She's laid back so the material is straight forward.I learned details about disorders that weren't on tests because she answers students' questions in depth. We have the midterm, movie quiz, final(under 40 questions) and notebook check for grades. I wish I had to take another PSY class because I'd definitely pick her.
I love Ms.Ford! People may say she's crazy but she can teach! The class is pretty easy but you only have about 4 grades, only 2 are more than 25 points. You have to go to class ot do well! She is pretty awesome just follow her class rules and you are golden!
Really cool and sweet. She wants you to do well. Don't mistake the class for being easy as you won't learn. You will. Take notes. You'll do fine. Taking her this semester for PSY 210! Wouldn't take anyone else.
Took 200/210 with her. Excellent teacher. Class is very engaging. Her class is highly recommended.
I do not enjoy hearing her ramble about her life the entire class period but overall it is a very easy course. She likes to talk...A LOT!
Super sweet! Very helpful and wants you to succeed! Takes personal interest in her students!
She is a wonderful teacher. Love her. She is more than just a teacher though. She definitely is a councilor. She wants you to do well and she is always there for you. If you don't take notes and study you will fail. Pay attention and come to class you will do great. By far my favorite person at Jeff State
Doesnt teach didnt learn anything
Loved her! One of the best teachers ever!
Best teacher ever! Didn't even require a textbook. She knows her material inside out. Would definitely recommend.
She is a great teacher. She tends to get off subject. If you want an easy and fun teacher, she is your lady!
First time experience back to school since 2006 and she is by far the sweetest woman you will ever meet. She made me excited to start school all over again.
She was so amazing! Always willing to help out and extremely clear. If you listen and follow instructions, it's an easy class to pass.
great Psy teacher!
EASY CLASS!!!! **How 2 PASS: -Come 2 class ALWAYS (requires no txtbk, so be there 2 get info) -Take NOTES & study it. (She will tell you what to write for ur notes & that'll be exactly what's on the MidtermFinal) *You get 4 Tests : MtrmFinal & 2 Mov. Quizzes -- Only problem I had was her not posting grades & her Xtra Credit assn is CRAZY.
Wouldn't recommend, she jumps from one topic to another. Can't stay on subject that correlates to what's important or the lesson. Do yourself a favor and don't take her class unless you HAVE to.
Funny, nice teacher. Attendance is mandatory to get notes from her long lectures. She tells you what to write & that is exactly on the test (The midterm & final). There are 2 EASY movie quizzes also ( so that's 4 tests in total). However, I disliked that she NEVER posted grades online (she'll pass out tests to see grade & take back, so keep note).
As long as you show up to class and pay attention, you'll pass easily. A lot of people complain because Ms. Ford is very talkative, has a tendency to repeat herself and she is very, very quirky. I loved being in her class because not only does she explain the material well, but she cares a lot for her students who are respectful.
She is so easy it's not funny. I wish I had learned more, but she is an easy class.
Not the best Professor, but its an easy class therefore her class is passable.
awesome teacher like seriously ! This is an easy class to take. As long as you come to class and take your notes , you should do fine. There are only 4 tests . I passed this class with an easy A. you can do it too. she's super easy !
I took Ms. Ford in the fall of 2015 and I loved it :) Her lectures are interesting and she seems like she actually likes her job. She has a very enthusiastic and funny personality. Starts class off with lots of positive energy and always gets straight to the point in her lectures. She keeps things real simple. Just be on time and take good notes.
wonderful teacher. She is the sweetest lady you will ever meet. Truly cares about her students. Follow her rules though. Come to class on time. Stay of your cell phone and pay attention. If you do those things she will do anything she can to help you. She does not put up with slackers though . She is not just my former professor but a friend.
Wonderful teacher. Makes lecture interesting. The sweetest lady you could meet. Truly cares about her students. Follow her rules though. Come to class on time. stay off your cell phone and pay attention. Do those things and she will do anything for you. Take good notes and study you will pas. She is not just my former professor but a friend.
Ms. Ford spends a lot of time making students laugh and not a lot of time giving important information. The course is overall easy, but I felt like she used lazy tactics. She is not organized or proficient with time management.
Her class was very interesting! She gives you really good info and things to help you remember certain parts of her lectures. She also loves Pugs so if you like dogs you will love her!
Over all was not a good professor. Disorganized and rude. She is also extremely sensitive. Always drift off topic and doesn't focus on material that needs to take to pass the class. I wouldn't take her again but I made a C.
I took her online class during the summer. She is EXTREMELY rude! Constantly changing her grading expectations. Very knit picky. Does not teach at all. When you email her a question she will do everything but answer it. would not take her again!
she is the best professor I have ever taken! she is super sweet, funny, and will help you with whatever you need. I had her for both 200 and 210. she makes it clear what will be on test and will prepare you for them! she is GREAT.
This teacher is very ineffective in teaching (online). Her "lecture" videos are just random YouTube clips, she's extremely unclear when giving directions (she often changes her mind on things as well), and when you email her to respectfully ask questions, she assumes you're insulting her ability to teach.
She was a really great professor! I will definitely be taking her again and highly recommend her. Be sure to follow directions and ask her if you have any questions.
This rating is based entirely on the syllabus. The first week of class you will be asked to write a 500, and 2 300 word essays on the syllabus, APA format, and plagiarism. The syllabus is also full of little phrases that make it clear she's not going to work with you if you accidentally mess up a quiz or submit a paper in the wrong format.
I enjoyed her overall , she doesn't use blackboard so you'll have to keep up with your grade .Be sure to get the text book for her class considering that's where she pulls the homework and then pulls from for your test . She did let me turn in a homework packet for half credit so she's cool in my book .
get ready to write a minimum of 500 words of essay about the chapter, every week. I hate writing papers, I wish someone mentioned that before. so far so good...
This class has a huge emphasis on writing papers and when the tests actually come, they are difficult. If you are going to take this class with this professor, I strongly suggest doing so when you are not heavily involved in other course work.. In other words, if you have a very busy schedule and commitments, this class will burn you down and out.
I am taking her online class which has been chaotic and she will not allow for attachments for essay like most classes. Blackboard does not allow for correct formatting. But she prefers it directly on there for easier grading for her which I personally feel should not be our problem. I definitely do not recommend .
Weekly writing assignments that are 500 words minimum...2 papers that are 3 pages long. The test are difficult. The writing isnt hard just tedious. She is very unorganized often having things that are opposite of each other (like requirments for papers) so its confusing on what to do. Not very clear on grading on assignments. Took it online.
She is unorganized, instructions are unclear and papers are required weekly. She doesnt allow attachments, and is insanely picky about formatting. Formatting is notoriously difficult to do in blackboard, which she refuses to acknowledge then takes points off when formatting is wrong. Difficult to contact. I do not recommend this class.
she was very unorganized and difficult to reach outside of class. her grading process was very unclear and changed for each assignment, so you were never aware of your grade until after final grades were posted. she also claimed assignments were due when she never told the class about them or post them on blackboard
She was an amazing teacher, her lectures were very entertaining but entertaining enough that you truly understand them. My advice is take notes,read the book and youll pass this class. The class wasnt difficult at all as long as you were there and payed attention to what she said and what she assigned. I would definitely recommend her class !!
She is a terrible online Gen psych professor. She changes due dates randomly, she'll drop your WEEKLY essay grades without hesitation. She docked points on one of my essays for not including a step she never told us about. Try asking about it? She doesn't respond. NEVER take her online classes. I don't know why she even has a high score on here.
I made the mistake of taking her class for the second time online. The class schedule is not prepared and it constantly changes making it difficult for someone who works full time and I get it we have to turn it work by said date. But, I also believe that should be both ways not just students. Do not recommend!
grading is honestly ridiculous at times. make sure to double space or you will fail the class.
I withdrew from her class before it affected my GPA. Let's just say, shes FLAKEY! In her syllabus, she basically says she doesn't teach she just attaches websites for us to "learn" from. I know college isn't easy, but I just think she's ridiculous. She is NOT ACCESSIBLE OUT of classes. She doesn't answer email, office phone, etc.
Ms. Ford seemed uncaring and unwilling to communicate with students. I was not a fan of her grading system and there were very little things being graded, so if you did bad on one thing you had to work extra hard for the others. I did like that her grading procedures were clear in her syllabus, though.
Personally I did not enjoy her class. The way she graded and what she graded was odd. She seemed to care more about the APA paper format than quality HW. There were a lot of technology issues for both the professor and students but she gave little-to-no grace on our end. Also seemed annoyed if you tried to ask a lot of questions/communicate a lot.
She was not accessible at all. When she did respond, she never answered questions or was very vague. The papers we wrote and discussions we wrote were insane. She has a very specific format of how she wants them written.
I wouldn't suggest taking her class if you want a good grade.
She seems uninterested in the subject.
Prof. Ford is clear on what she expects from her students. While she does not do actual lectures, she does upload some videos. Her notes are very clear. As long as you study the notes and watch whatever videos she does post, you should do well. Discussions required.
Great person, not great teacher. I didn't learn anything from this class, we mainly just took a few notes and talked for the rest of the class. Take this class for easy credits.
I hate to give Ms. Ford a bad rating. However, during my semester, we encountered tech issues which interfered with doing assignments. With working part time while attending Jeff State full time, it was difficult to keep up. Not her fault, but she was not good about communicating and hasn't been very flexible with grades. Try in-person instead.
Worst professor I've experienced. Avoid her at all costs. The schedule that she provides doesn't match Blackboard. There was NO communication and if you do email her she's short and unhelpful. The average grade in my online class was 30% I'm shocked she has a job still. Too many discussions requiring multiple paragraphs and linked sources..absurd
I took her PSY200 in person class & it was easy. She would write brief notes on the board & explain them. If you missed a day of notes, you would need to get them from a classmate since she didn't post anything on blackboard besides grades.
