Don't take this class if you're the kind of person who doesn't like to sit and listen for hours. Her lectures are not from the book but she knows her stuff. The tests are kinda hard because most of the questions are somewhat "related" to her notes. So unless you're a really good listener and note taker, don't take this class.

She is truly passionate about psychology and will make you understand the subject thoroughly. It helps to go to class cuz she is an amazing lecturer, but if u go off the book you should be okay. If you aren't a reader, just attend class and you'll be fine. STUDY GUIDES ARE KEY to pass tests. Answer the SG q's through notes and books n u will ACE it

Great professor, lectures are entertaining but you can get an A with mainly textbook use. Free textbook (openstax), study guides are mirror images of test, I would study 5 hours before the exam and get an A, SG are so important. Gives extra credit, lots of debate papers (5) but not hard.
