IF U WANT AN EASY 'A' : Very nice old woman BUT all she did was tell stories about her sons. Once sed "If u r sleeping during class you must just really need the rest". After that half the class was asleep. Only opened the book 1x @ start of semester and still got an 'A'. Tests are common sense ?s and she allows 10 free wrong answers.

She's an adorable old lady and her class is very easy, but it is extremely boring. You have to sit through her talking from the minute you start until you end and it is never interesting.

Professor Madden is wonderful. She has a unique teaching style that focuses on using connections and examples to memorize information. Assignments, discussions, quizzes, and materials are online, and she does not use a textbook. No in-class tests or quizzes! I found the class very interesting and I would highly recommend taking Psychology with her!

She is awesome! Completely understanding and willing to make sure you get the best grade. You have to attend and be involved in the discussions in order to get those points. Everything else was online; homework & quiz's were accessible through the links she posted on blackboard. No tests!

Professor Madden is amazing! She is so sweet and willing to hep you! She is so enthusiastic about teaching and relaying the material to her students. I wish I could have taken general psych with her! You will have to write papers for her but she tells you everything that she wants and will allow you to redo for full credit.

I have taken her class of PSY1012 + DEP2004 since she's such a great teacher. She allows room for improvement and gives great feedback. She's very welcoming, informative, and packed full of interesting stories. She does not require a textbook but participation and attendance is a big a part. You will love her, she is by far one of the best teachers

I took Human Relations with Professor Madden. She is a great teacher. She lectured on the topics covered in the homework. Then we played class games for the last 3 weeks. They were really fun. The online work was not hard. As long as you actually do the work and do it thoroughly you will pass. She doesn't believe in tests! No book for this class.

Ann Madden is by far the greatest teacher in the history of the world. Her PPs are long and sometimes boring (I took her for GROWTH&PSYCH) but it's the easiest A you could ask for while still learning something! I'm not saying there's no work at all, but she gives NO tests, NO final exam and NO textbook. I would travel to any campus for her class!

She has been my favorite teacher during my two years at FSCJ. Both PSY1012 & DEP2004 were taken with her, no exams, just video reviews, possibly some quizzes, and a paper. She has been there for me numerous times when I needed help. Take her not for the easiness, but for the experience. She's amazing!

She does hybrid classes and will get back to you with your grade within a short amount of time. No real deadlines and no tests. Mostly research reviews and nothin too difficult that won't peek your interest. She's a super sweet woman and understanding that students have lives outside of class. You get a free pass for the first missed day. Love her!

Prof Madden is such a sweet lady. I took her hybrid class, so we met once a week (usually watched movies) and the rest of the assignments were due online. The class is very straight forward, you can even work ahead and get all the assignments done when you want. She is very nice about makeup work and gives plenty of extra credit opportunities.

Honest review from an honest student: Dr. Madden is a very laid back professor. Since I took her hybrid class, I finished most of my work early. And believe me, her assignments can be done quickly. Lectures are based from a powerpoint and are honestly very boring. Tests are online so you can use "resources" if needed. Easy class, easy professor.
