awesome class.. i loved it.. the information will be very helpful in the future.
TAKE THIS CLASS
Very easy but very interesting. Although the class is easy you really do learn and she is really funny. Not too bad to look at either. Definitely worth taking her classes because she is fun but you will learn and laugh a lot.
She's Awesome
I had this class at 8am for an hour and a half, and it was not bad. She didn't even require us to buy a book! She is awesome and makes it very interesting. Can't miss many classes, its a real note taking class...but she's awesome on making up exams!
great teacher!! hottie too!!
Best psych teacher I have ever had!!!! She helps everyone, and gets everyone involved.... and she is easy on the eyes!!!!!!!
Ok she is like the best prof. ever. I'm serious. She's makes everthing so understandable and interesting! This was the best class I ever took! I looked forward to going everytime! I never rate professors, but I had to give her the best. Becasue she is the best. End of story.
I liked her a lot. She was a teacher that I actually enjoying having. She would make occational comments that made you feel bad or glared at you if you talked in class but other than that i really like her!
Never misses a class, she makes her class very easy to pay attention and learn. she uses many stories that make the material so easy to comprehend and regerate even yrs later!!!
AMAZING TEACHER. ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER. DEFINITELY TAKE HER!
Great Teacher
I LOVE Mrs.Townsend!!! she is an awesome teacher and she really knows her stuff. she makes class so fun and easy to pay attention in. if you have the option, TAKE TOWNSEND!!
Very good professor. Very good class. Loved her stories and loved the material.
Awesome teacher, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Definitely going back to her for Psychology of Human Development.
I LOVE HER! Hands down the best teacher I've ever had. She's extremely helpful and will not only help you with the class but with everything else in your life. She also teaches the material extremely well. TAKE HER CLASSES!
My favorite professor at Gannon! Wish there was more classes I could take with her. She always lets you know what is on exams. Never found myself staring at the clock waiting for class to end, I was interested in the material the whole time!
AWESOME teacher. I loved her class and plan on taking the second level next year. best teacher ever.
Absolutely the best professor at Gannon. Extremely interesting class, VERY helpful and personable.
She is by far the best professor at Gannon. She makes class time fly by. I highly recommend taking her class if you get the chance.
Prof. Townsend is an amazing teacher. She makes each class fun, and her stories give life to psychological concepts.
Best teacher at Gannon. She made class fun and I actually looked forward to going to this class everyday.
She is an amazing teacher, the material was never boring and she made class so much fun. I looked to see if she taught anymore classes I could take when I was scheduling. I would highy recommend taking her!
In LOVE with this lady. She is such a great professor because so much of what she lectures on happened in her own life. If you want to learn a lot about psych, yourself, have fair tests, interesting lectures, and a worthwhile class, take anything taught by Barb.
awesome lady! take any class by her!
Mrs. Townsend is such an amazing teacher... makes every class enjoyable and worthwhile. She also seems to really care about each individual student in her class. 10/10 would recommend. (and hot too)
She not only tught the class about psyc, she also shaped us into better individuals. Before her class i was very closed minded, now i'm open minded, she puts things into a different perspective. She is very personable and is very passionate about her subject. She also is very helpful not only in class but with any problems you may be having.
Amazing; take her!
Amazing. She is fantastic at relating concepts to life. I learned more from this class then I have from any other course I've taken. She is funny, nice, intelligent, and a great teacher. She makes you want to come to class, even if you don't have to. The course is simple as well. I just wish she got rid of the textbook. It's not needed.
Amazing professor. I have a degree in Psych and decided to go back to school. I learned SO much more in this class that I will actually remember and relate to "real life" than any psych class. She is passionate about the subject and her students. Take her!
Amazing teacher, and an amazing person. Take either of her courses if possible. She continues to keep in touch if you e-mail her. Seeing her on campus makes my day. She will always remember you if you had her as a professor.
Absolutely amazing teacher. One of the best, if not the best teacher I've ever had. No power points. Just writing on the board and then talking about the main points, but very detailed and she uses personal experience often. You will actually understand the material instead of spitting it out for a test. Studying is pretty important for her class.
Took her class during High School and thought her class was very interesting! You would never fall asleep in her class! Love how she relates her lessons to everyday things!
She's a hoot
Hands down the best professor you could ask for. And an even more amazing woman. I aspire to be Barbie Townsend. She writes all of her notes on the board from memory and never gets anything wrong or confused. She tells the best stories. Her tests are exactly what is covered in class. If you get the chance, take any of her classes.
amazing.
Townsend is outstanding. Her lectures are interesting & she uses personal experience often. Never came into her class bored. Pulls a couple test questions straight from the book, but words her other questions in a way that you can only answer them if you really understand the material. Show up, write everything from the board, and enjoy the class!
By far the best professorteacher I've ever had. She teaches you what you need to know in ways that can be applied to real life and tells many stories of her own experiences. Class is always interesting and enjoyable. Exams are challenging but fair. She genuinely cares about her students. Take as many of her classes as you can!
She is truly life changing. Take as many classes as you can! Best teacher I have had in my entire life.
Mrs. Townsend is, hands down, the most engaging professor I've EVER had. Her lectures are so funny and relatable. She truly cares about every student.
This professor has been the best professor hands down. Her class does not feel like a class rather a time for you to have a good laugh and be able to express your own opinion. She has the ability to help like no other professor that I know. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to take a psychology course.
The absolute best teacher I have ever had. I wish every professor was like her. She keeps the class interesting and really knows her material. If you ever need help she's easily approachable. Tests are specific but easy if you study! If you ever have the chance to take her, do everything that you can so you are able to
Barb has to be the single-handedly absolute best teacher that I have ever had throughout my schooling. She keeps class interesting and engages students a lot. We had a lot of class discussions, which were always fun. She's such a funny, sweet woman who always gives anecdotes about her life, which are always fun to hear and intersting. I love her!
She is an amazing person and as asset to Gannon University. I wish she could teach every class I'll ever had to take. She is by far the best teacher I've experienced in my life. Her lectures are very interesting and she really gets into it. I got an A on every exam because I always knew was what going to be on the test and I looked forward to class
Barbara Townsend is by far the best professor I have ever had and probably will ever have in the future. She makes class very interesting and is an overall funny, kind, and engaging woman. Psych of Development is extremely easy and it will probably be your favorite class
TAKE THIS COURSE EVERYONE. She is the most inspirational and real professor you will have at GU. She takes the material and relates it to our every day lives. You can tell she loves what she is doing and would not trade it. If I could retake this course just to retake it, I would. She is the highest rating and most liked professor at GU.
The lectures aren't boring at all, she's very interactive and relates a lot to real life. great teacher, if you have the chance to take her then I highly recommend it.
Ok, yes she is a funny and engaging professor but can we talk about her tests for a minute? DID WE LEARN THIS???? Is where my mind goes! They aren't impossible but the way she's words them is so confusing. You only have three exams and a 15 page paper to try to pass her class, she offers no extra credit.
She's very dedicated to teaching her students. You can tell she genuinely loves her job. Class was really interesting and I learned a lot because of her teaching style. I thought her exams were really easy (do read what she tells you to in the book). There's one paper about your life related to the class concepts. I wish she taught more classes.
SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! Take this class no matter what your major is she is amazing i wish she taught other classes because i would change my major just to take her classes! I honestly enjoyed getting up to go to her class and would go on my death bed! the test are super easy and the paper is about yourself so its hard not to write 15 pg
By far the best teacher that I've ever had. I struggled with my first exam & spoke with her during her office hours. If you show improvement, she'll change your grade accordingly. Although you're required to do a paper on yourself, it's an amazing experience to go through and she'll use that as a way to provide informal therapy. Incredible teacher!
Mrs. Townsend is hands down the best professor at Gannon. TAKE HER CLASS. Here lectures are actually interesting, and you can relate them to your life. She truly cares about her students and will help you, as long as you show up and make the effort to pass. She was actually the deciding factor why I chose Gannon.
Best class I have ever taken! Would take any class that she teaches! Honestly, by far the best professor and person!
A great human been that is strong and filled with good information and advices to students. Many students need a person like this to go back to every once in a while. Thank you for everything professor!
One of my favorite professors! She's hilarious and always makes class interesting. Her class is lecture heavy, she writes all of the material on a chalkboard so if you don't go you tend to miss out. Class itself is super easy, your grade consists of 3 exams (can be a lil hard) and a 15 page paper. The paper is all about you though so don't fret!
She is amazing and smart and really cares for her students. I have never had a professor better than her and it would be really hard to beat in the future. I really enjoyed attending class everyday because it was enjoyable. She understands the life of a student and tries to relate. cracks a ton of jokes. One paper and 4 tests in the class is all.
Amazing professor. I don't think I'll ever enjoy a college class as much I enjoyed hers. Lectures are interesting and she includes participation which brings the lectures alive. Tests are pretty straightforward as long as you pay attention and take notes. You do have a 15-page paper, which is an autobiography, so no need to stress. Overall 11/10:)
Professor Townsend is the best professor I have had this year. She makes her lectures enjoyable and engaging.
she is my favorite professor ever. this is the best class I have ever taken and wish she taught all of my classes. lecture material is interesting as is, but her stories and class participation make the class 10x better
Best professor I ever had!!
Super great teacher. Not many grades so pay attention in class. As long as you pay attention and go over notes, youll pass.
really good
The BEST prof at Gannon. If I could take her for every class, I would. I don't have a single bad thing to say abt her. Class was so fun--she makes hard topics easy to understand by telling personal stories. You have to show up to pass, but this shouldn't be an issue bc her class is amazing. Great prof & great person.
Professor Townsend has the best lectures. Her class isn't very difficult, as long as you listen to the lectures and write down what she has on the board. My class had three exams and one autobiographical essay, each worth 100 points. I highly recommend taking her class.
Absolutely love her. BEST professor ive ever had by far! Makes class so interesting and really makes me interested in psychology
