Needed a group A psyc course and this one didn't seem that bad. The material is really interesting but the exams are extremely difficult (it might be because she teaches the honors program). 5 exams and that is it.

My second class taken from Anne and she is amazing! Her lectures are never dull, however this class is pretty tough. Record her lectures and make sure you understand and can explain the concepts and you should be fine. She also curves the grading scale to how well the class does.

She is a wonderful woman who cares about all of her students as people. She will do everything she can to help you, her lectures are very clear and logical. You need to show up, she writes everything on a chalkboard. The book isn't needed. She is very accessible and works to know you personally. She will check your homework for full credit, too.

Wonderful lady! Lectures are clear and note taking is easy in this class. Go to office hours, she will check your homework and give you 100% on it right then and there. Tests are difficult because of the difficult material, but it's very easy to pass.

Sutter really went above and beyond for me to help me pass stats (as I'm terrible at math). She expects effort and really makes you work for it but is incredibly caring and passionate about what she teaches. Go to her office hours to check your homework to try to keep your homework grade up and attend class so you know what's going on.

Dr. Sutter was first psych professor who made psych interesting & understanding the concepts through real life examples rather then just reading off of lecture slides. She definitely is on slightly tough side & exams are applying knowledge then just info recall but she prepares you well and also if you're a bio/biochem major you'll be just fine.

There are 5 exams including the final which is non-cummulative. She is a very very tough professor! Although she gives great lectures and that is what the exams are based off of but her exams are damn near impossible to ace. 40% exam is written while the other 60% is multiple choice. You'll definitely learn but prepare to work hard.

Her tests are a little more difficult, but if you study and pay attention you'll totally be fine (btw I've failed a math class). She lets you check your homework so each time you get 100% on it!

She's knowledgable and passionate about the subject and she cares about her students. Your grade in this class solely depends on 5 noncumulative exams! Record her lectures!

Professor Sutter is one of the most down to earth professors Ive ever met. She truly cares for her students, and will do whatever it takes to help you understand the material; however, her exams are difficult. She makes the exams difficult and later curves them which makes no sense instead of just making the exams easier with no curve.

However, tests are very hard (5 tests make up your entire semester grade). She does curve grades, but make sure you study if you want to get an A. Never bored in her class.

Anne is one of the best professors I have ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and gives great notes! The only thing about her exams is that the conceptual part can be very difficult, but if you study her notes and do the practice problems she gives before exams, you'll do great! Moderate amount of homework. GO TO OFFICE HOURS!

Dr. Sutter is an amazing professor but if you are a psych student you should NOT take this class. This class is way more neuro and bio based and should not even be offered as a Group A for psych majors. Grade is based on 5 exams and thats it, super hard exams even if you go into her office hours. She is a great prof but this class is impossible

She is a very personable professor but not very willing to help outside of class. Prof Sutter's teaching is extremely sporadic and all over the place. (very hard to follow). Her tests are VERY VERY tricky and hard and total to make up 85% of the grade with homework totaling 15% of the grade. Do not take her if you do not want to teach yourself

She also gives out a few handouts during class, so it's important to attend lectures to do well in her class. Her exams are also a bit tricky, so definitely study and do her practice problems. Take her if at all possible!

Professor Sutter is one of my favorite professors at Loyola. Her psyc 240 course is a challenging one but it is still possible to get an A with her curve. The driving factors behind your success in her course will be always attending lecture, takes notes during class, and recording her lectures and then relistening to them. She has a heart of gold.

Dr. Sutter is honestly one of the most caring and passionate professors I have had the pleasure learning from. She's silly and fun which makes her lectures easier to understand and remember, which comes in handy for her exams. Although she does make you work for it, her teaching style will certainly help you grow your knowledge.

Professor Sutter really knows how to lecture for stats. She made me understand the content fairly quickly and the homework validated that. However, I found her exams to be very difficult. I went to office hours often to go over content and exams, but I still barely passed. I studied very hard in this class, and it sucked not getting a better grade.

Dr. Sutter is a great lady, she really cares about her students and wants them to do well. Her tests are difficult, and she is sometimes unclear in her explanations.

This class is probably one of the hardest I've ever taken and it should not have been. You have to work extremely hard in this class to get a good grade, and the tests always tripped you up. Understanding the way Prof. Sutter taught was hard. If you are math oriented it would be easier, but if you're like me and aren't, don't take it.

She is a very sweet person! You are graded only on her exams, which are no joke. She curves pretty heavily to compensate for that, but be prepared to study or you won't do well. She's very helpful in office hours and you can tell she cares about her students, but this is not an easy A class. So if you're up for it, take her!

Psych majors-beware. this class is all biology focused and better suited for bio or neuroscience majors. the exams are extremely tough and it is nearly impossible to get an A on them.
