Professor Sadowski is a great professor, especially because of how passionate she is about psychology. Her lectures are interesting, she tries her best to include videos, give examples, and engages her students to help us to understand the material. Her class includes 5 exams. If you do not want to study, then don't take this class.

She was super consistent I took two psych classes with her. One online and one in class. Her lectures are the best because she actually explains and gives examples even sometimes showing videos so the student really understands. Her final is cumulative super appreciative of that because I saw all the questions on previous test

I took psych 1 over the summer. The class was a lot of work--two chapters, two discussion boards, and two quizzes a week--but it wasn't hard. I think that as long as you manage your time well and don't procrastinate then you will do fine. Professor Sadowski also makes sure to give helpful feedback on every discussion post which I really liked.

She made abnormal psych interesting. At first I thought two projects was a lot but they were actually really fun because you get to choose what disorder its on. Shes honest, grades quickly and her tests are fairly easy although the final was tough. Really enjoyed her class and would take her again! Easy A!

Please, save yourself stress and anxiety, and DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE ONLINE. The CHAFFEY website messed up; it was a glitch that caused the test to submit itself the second I clicked start test. Even though it was not an error on my end, she refused to let me take the test worth 5% of my grade. Starting the semester with a 3% woo-hoo :(

Prof Sadowski is a good teacher! Her lectures are clear and straight to the point. This is my second semester with her and its going great. The quizzes are easy if you read the textbook and study the power points. I learned alot about psychology so if youre interested in being a psychologist, social worker, LMFT etc then take her!!

This would have been my all time favorite class at Chaffey College if not for the unclear expectations from this professor. I would answer the prompts to the questions and she would always mark points off. When I asked why, she never gave me any answers. Her grading seemed like it didn't match up with my assignments. Amazing recorded lectures.

I learned a lot during this course. This has a very easy textbook to follow with valuable information. There is a lot of homework and she is a tough grader. Reaching out to her through email can be a bit confusing because her directions are not clear and if you are not specific enough when asking for help she just repeats the directions again.

While the lectures were long, they taught a lot and had great examples of certain concepts and she was very good at making analogies for them, I learned a lot, overall great lectures.

I gained about seven diagnosable mental illnesses as I traversed the confusing and soul crushing course called psychology one. Angela sadowski.

While I was originally very interested in psychology, this class made the topic much less enjoyable as I would've hoped. The tests had questions the materials did not go over and I practically had to look up half of the answers. The non-test assignments were interesting at points, but were the only light in the dark hole that is this class.

One of the most enjoyable psychology classes I have taken. It did not feel tedious with busy work, but there was an aspect of critical thinking involved which made it relatable and applicable. You have to attend class, be involved and do work outside of class, but it is manageable.

I will say her activities are very engaging and her test are very easy once you know that material. But, her lectures are lacking in aiding with said test.

Her grading system makes no sense and she deducts points off for the smallest detail missed. She has lectures and they don't cover everything on the quizzes! You're not allowed to do retakes and they're timed on top of that. She doesn't offer extra credit. She doesn't even say why you're wrong. Dont bring yourself more stress taking this professor.

Professor Sadowski is a great lecturer. However, she is not at all helpful to her students. Most other professors are very willing to help students and want to see them succeed but I don't find that to be the case with Professor Sadowski. Each time I emailed her, she was no help and just referred me to the syllabus. Would not recommend.
