Great Prof, lectures are actually interesting!

better to choose her internet course coz she marked the assignment quite "loose"

Best professor I have ever had! Lectures are clear and funny. Awesome prof!!

Knowledgeable, helpful when available

Competent prof, good course, exams not easy

Lots of comments on assignments, easy marker.

Her exams are intensely hard. But when it comes to help, she's always there, and she knows her stuff. She's the nicest prof I know. She may be out of town a lot but she still makes an effort to help you out.

This was a terrible class. If I didnt go to class I probably would have ended up with the same grade. Pretty much every class consisted of presentations from others. The tests are of 5 (long) chapters each and you are tested on the most minute details.

She is the best professor I have ever had. She is very helpful and extremely nice. Her exams are difficult but Dr. DeLongis can help you.

Well, I had her for the DET version of Psyc 314 and that course is one of the best DET courses that I've ever taken.

An OK lecturer but the material is very, very boring, especially the textbook which we had to read. You either love or hate this course and I hated it. A lot of readings and notes to cover. Take abnormal psyc instead.

great course...i took the DET course...she was really helpful...textbook was interesting but repeatative...assignments were easy but the final was REALLY hard...tricky...final pulled my overall mark down...

Very helpful and easy to get a hold of. The assignments were easy but thought provoking, and she didn't give a specific format to write them in, so its all up to you. The exam was all MC based on text, but REALLY difficult - nitpicked the fine details!!

Took this by DET so I didn't have much contact with her. But she was awesome about some deadlines I missed. The final seemed brutal as others said, but I got an A- in this course with very little effort.

Great teacher. She really cares about her students. The assignments are interesting.

Great prof! I took her web course and she was an excellent teacher.

Great teacher. She is really nice and knows her stuff.

definitely knows her stuff...answers every questions thrown to her thoroughly...midterm m/c and short answer(even tho theyre kind of essay-type questions)

Great teacher! Very helpful to students.

I think she was pretty good..very very knowledgeable about health psych...she knows her stuff!! Goes through her slides in class, and theyre up on the web too. She can answer any question that comes her way and in full detail too. I liked her! M/C on tests pretty hard (all/none of the above)

Great teacher! She really knows her stuff.

Great web class.

Interesting, helpful, and knowledgable. Her health psych class is the best at UBC.

Excellent insturctor! Very Hot!!!

She very informative and passionate about this subject. However, I don't find her teaching style compatible with me. She shows too many statistics and makes the course seem very dry.

Great web instructor. Very available. Interesting course.

Great teacher, her course was very hard to get into, and i know why. Interesting material, and she's willing to help you out.

Difficult course but great prof. Powerpoints are all online so its really helpful for studying.

Her online course is one of the best out there, cause she actually takes the time to help students, unlike most profs. She'll talk to you on the phone or email if you want, and gives great advice on assignments.

Great Prof, especially at the grad level. Extremely supportive of her grad students, personally, academically, financially, and professionally. Always has her students' interests in mind.

Very hard class to get into, but the web class is great. Prof is really available, helpful, and nice.

The class is interesting and she is really knowledgable. If you ask her a question she goes out of her way to help.

Great teacher. Her class is one of the best I have taken. She is very knowledgeable, informative, and helpful.

very knowledgeable and helpful

excellent prof!

She's very knowledgeable in her area. I'm an avid studier, yet I find her final exam quite challenging. My advice is study hard for this class and you would be fine. This class was one of the tougher class I took this semester. It's a fair final exam. It's just very long.

excellent

great course

Interesting class.

Prof. DeLongis is great. Her passion and enthusiasm come through in every class. My only complaints are regarding her slide use. It is an overwhelming amount of slides. 48 slides for a 50 minute class? They are so distracting I often miss what she is saying. Numbering them, and having dates on the files would be great too!

Frustratingly disorganized slides makes note taking next to impossible

Lectures are interesting and the exams are fair. She is always available.

what i like about her is that she brings a lot of recen stuies to class. dedicated and helpful prof. she might sound a lil dry but once u get to know her style, u will actually enjoy most of it. i like her as my prof.

Good teacher!

Great prof

Very knowledgeable about Health Psych. Approachable and helpful when asked. Overall a good teacher/prof

Read earlier comment about "her lab manager or something in our class, and was DISGUSTINGLY biased". Can't say I say any evidence of bias (familiarity yes, but no special favors). Generally a very interesting course with a very knowledgeable and approachable prof. Worth taking.

Very interesting subject matter, and the prof is clearly very knowledgeable about what she's teaching. In addition her lecturing is quite interesting and she's pretty funny. That being said, the tests were quite hard. With regard to the lab manager, i'm not sure how you can claim she's bias because she used his family photos..? quite slanderous...

One of the more interesting courses that I have taken. Very topical and relevant to a wide spectrum of interests - enjoyed the classes and looked forward to the presentations that often had a human / humorous element to them. Prof was engaging and approachable for help & direction. Tests were quite hard as were some assignments but not terribly so

Prof is up on the current research and uses many examples. Health Psychology is more interesting than I thought it would be.

Only psych course taken that had many practical applications to overall healthcare topics. Enjoyed the course and the prof who was generally enthusiastic and engaging in her lessons and in conversations. Assignments weren't difficult but read the textbook to do well on the tests.

Very hard course to get into, but really interesting prof.

Good prof! She is really nice to students.

Great teacher. Really cares about her students.

awesome awesome and awesome!!!!!!!!!!!loved the course loved her!! she's really easy to listen to and the material is really interesting!!! take the course- with her of course!!

Great prof who uses up to date research. She really cares about her students and is an approachable prof to talk to. Although some say that health psych is pretty straight forward, I think it's a really applicable class and I enjoyed it. It's not too difficult either, but you do need to prepare for her tests.

Very clear and helpful. Two midterms and a final. Looks for ways to give you points on the short answer parts of the question and even fought UBC to get the mandatory curve grade raised so we didn't get scaled down.

Dr. Delongis is very nice. She communicates information very well and how she communicates it is easy to understand. I would definitely recommend taking a class with her.

Doctor DeLongis's class was interesting. She used up to date research, and her tests were fair (2 midterms, with mc and short answer + final). Make sure you pay attention in class particularly when she's explaining a study.

Interesting course with current Pysch and health topics. Instructor offered useful help when asked. Exams were relatively easy (if you familiarized yourself with the textbook and read the class notes).

Generally easy to understand class. Textbook material and lecture material are not the same though, so make sure you go to class and take notes on the studies she talks about. M/C section on midterms is based from textbook reading, written is based on lecture.

Very passionate about research in the field, and her lecturers were clear and interesting real-life applications were brought up. Friendly and approachable.

You can tell how passionate she is about the course. Need to attend class as written answers are based off lectures (mostly the studies - she does a lot), but MC is purely textbook. Read textbook and focus on the in-class studies, you'll do fine.

the best prof. she is amazing, cares whether or not students learn the materials, respectful and knowledgable, and last but not least so polite. I recommend her course!

She is an amazing prof. My favourite class by far. She is also so funny, although she may not realize it! Anyone who gives her a bad rating doesn't know what they're talking about. Anita and her daughter read these ratings, so thanks for being a great prof! PLEASE teach more courses! Exams are fair, know all the studies! Overall, pretty easy class.

This course was essentially a do-it-at-your-own-pace sort of style. No discussion forums, just a couple assignments along the way. Online modules are alright - they're not absurdly long or anything. A lot of it is just regurgitating material from the textbook itself, which I feel spends too much time on mental disorders.

Self-paced course, totally reasonable due dates. prof and TA are both quick in their responses. However, the description in assignment requirements weren't very helpful at first sight.

I really liked the textbook (really that's all there is to this online course), and the assignments were fair. It is an incredibly easy; HOWEVER, the class is so easy, you may be scaled down considerably (to the tune of 5-8%) at the end of the term. It is intended for interdisciplinary engagement, so there is something for everyone.

Clear expectations, you can tell she really knows her material. Anita is always prepared well for class, is humorous and generally the lectures are very interesting and informative. Gives good feedback if you ask for it and is very approachable.

Anita was a great prof: engaging in lectures, well organized, and a very fair test writer. Attendance is not necessary at all, but if you do go, thats pretty much all the studying you need to do, other that reading the text book. The material of this class is very intuitive, and she tells you exactly what exam essay Qs will be!

Took in as an online course during the summer. Two assignments and a final (100 multiple choice questions). As others have mentioned, it is a self-paced course with reasonable due dates. However, finding articles and thinking of topics for the assignments are rather tricky.

Currently taking 314 with Anita and I'm absolutely enjoying her lectures. She is an amazing prof that delivers materials clearly and effectively. She is very approachable and takes the time to address her student's concerns/q's. Her class is turning out to be my favourite class this semester and I'm looking forward to her lectures.

THE BEST PROF EVER. She is the coolest prof/mom, she is extremely kind, funny and caring, she is very well organized, she knows the material and teaches soooo WELL. I enjoyed every minute of the class, I learned so much and I kinda wana take it again:D Take the class with her and you won't regret it (I promise you).Thank you, Dr. Anita.

Words would never be enough to express how amazing Anita is as a prof and as a person. She is incredibly smart and funny. Her class was the highlight of my semester. Exams were not hard as long as you read the textbook and pay attention in class. Take her class, I guarantee you that it would change your outlook toward your health/lifestyle.

This was my first online course and I'm happy with it! 3 assignments and a final worth 50% that is solely based on the textbook. The course is self-paced and there are 15 chapters to read so it's important to stay on track. The assignments were interesting to do but set aside time for them because finding the articles is tricky.

I took this course online and if you have the time management skills and are comfortable writing papers-DO IT ONLINE. I left the class with over a 70 after having to play catch up. Work HARD on the papers- this means bug the hell out of the TA and Prof over assignment details. Don't get behind on the readings! And the practice quizzes help TONS!

This is one of the best structured online classes at UBC. Requirements and instructions are clear, and online material matches the textbook perfectly. If you follow along with the learning outcomes online, do all the readings, and put in a solid few hours work on the 3 papers, you'll do great in this class.

Dr. DeLongis really cares about her students. Throughout the online course (no set lecture times), she was very responsive to emails and took time to meet with me over Zoom several times. I highly recommend staying involved and up to date with the content (i.e. readings), as it's hard to cram for the exams. Taking the practice quizzes helps a lot!

Absolutely must take a class with her! She is the smartest prof at UBC, is up to date on all research (and can explain its evolution over time as she was around in the beginning), she cares so much about psychology, and will meet with you over zoom WHENEVER to help with what you need. She is trying to teach you, not trick you, best prof ever

Dr. Delongis is one of the smartest profs at UBC without a doubt. She is kind and caring but quick to call you out need be. She's an extremely good individual to network with and her courses are designed to help you succeed. We had weekly discussions, and two major assignments. Shes also very encouraging and helpful!
