She is entertaining,highly knowledgable about her subject,down to earth, and very approachable. Expect to study for this class, and don't miss the lectures or you'll miss half the information you'll need for the test! Avoid this class online.

She is always there to help you and she is very understanding. I wish I could have had her instead of another teacher for Psychology. She is a very sweet person.
VERY GOOD TEACHER. SHE IS VERY ORGANIZED AND KNOWS HER STUFF.WILL HELP YOU ANYTIME YOU NEED IT. SHE MAKES THE CLASS VERY INTERESTING.
I wish ll of my teachers were as nice as her! Her class is not easy but she made me think in a way I didn't know was possible. Her exams are hard and expect to study. Taking this professor is something everyone needs to do at least once. I'll be taking her again in the fall and I can't wait! I got an A for the term.
She's an awsome patient teacher, not hard at all. I found her test easy, all you have to do is study (like any other class). :-)
She is a kind, sweet, understandable teacher. Gives very good examples to relate to & engages in class discussion daily. The class was very interactive. Her test come straight from the text book, to pass her test read the text intently, word for word and most of all understand the concepts/theories. Overall, you'll think in a whole new way.
If you dont like all period lectures then this teacher isn't for you. Study the chapters before class. She usually gives pop quizes on chapters that haven't been taught in class yet. The class is all about studying, not learning.
woot....shes fun!
She is a great teacher. She knows how to explain Psychology, and answers any question any one has. The thing is that you have to study a lot, and you have to pay atention in class all the time. Also, you need to read each chapter before class because she may do pop quiz. Yet, I have learned a lot thanks to her, and I am grateful to her.
MY MY, if all my professors were like her then i would have no trouble. she is the best, knows her stuff, has great relationship with her students. her lectures and examples allow to to think real hard about life. her tests can be difficult if you do read the text. Always willing to help students in and out of class. very flexible. NO REGRETS
Dr. VanHorn is an awesome professor, she is very intelligent, and loves helping her class make a good grade.. i can go on forever about how great she is..i highly recommend that you take her
She is great!! As long as you read and come to class, its pretty easy.
I took the class via internet during summer 1. There was a lot of reading and her tests were hard; however, I managed a B in the class.
Took internet class during summer and it was alot of info of course. She does provide helpful study guides for the test. Although, she is a bit picky when grading papers. Very nice lady and is willing to help at any time!
you can tell that she loves teaching. I learned a lot in her class. There was a lot of reading.
Dr. Vanhorn is awesome teacher. She does give a lot of pop quizzes, but if you do the homework it is EXACTLY the same as the quiz. Also when you take a test first you take it alone and then she grades them while you study in the hall and lets you retake it with a group.You can really tell she loves what she teaches and participate in the discussion
Interesting lectures. She really knows her stuff, but the class is hard because the exams cover too many chapters, and I consider it overload. I passed with a C though.
Funny teacher, and the lectures were interesting. The tests are very challenging though. Make sure you properly understand and know all of the concepts and topics that the assigned pages of reading discuss.
I took the online class. It was a little daunting until I figured out the book had a website. I mostly studied the website quizzes and made an A in her class. The WebCT practice quizzes were too long.
The material was very tough, but very interesting! Professor Van Horn was very nice and made class interesting. I learned a lot in that class, but the exams were challenging
Really great prof, happy to help in any way she could. Material was interesting, a little dry, but well presented.
she is moody. once she came in screaming at the class 4 no reason it was weird i guess she had a bad day & our test average was low but being a psycology teach. she should know not 2 yell & B mean & belittle ppl.she isn't really reflexible on test retakes,she questions on why & if the excuse is vaulable.. tests R hard!!! i get A's but in here C.
Took this class online. She always responds quickly!
SHE IS SO GREAT....I MEAN DR.VAN HORN IS VERY HELPFUL AND ANYTHING YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT SHE IS GLAD TO HELP
took her when i was a slacker and i got a C...SO that means you could pass =)
Dr Vanhorn is an awesome teacher, knows what she is talking about, there is 15 question quizzes weekly (which you check after doing wink wink), 1 big essay, and 4 exams and online quizes. i highly recommend this teacher. bring a laptop and go along with the powerpoints you will get a b or better!
Dr. Vanhorn is an amazing teacher! Her class is a lot of work and challenging, compared to a lot of the professors at IRCC. However, she's very helpful and loves to talk to her students. Her tests are hard, so you have to really study, but it's very rewarding. She's very passionate about her subject, and really wants her students to succeed.
I REALLY ENJOYED HER CALSS. SHE MADE IT LIVELY AND INTERESTING.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS CLASS. I LEARNED SO MUCH. I FOUND THIS VERY HELPFUL, AND NOW AM APPLYING THINGS I LEARNED INTO MY OWN LIFE.
I absolutely LOVED this class. I am soo happy I took this teacher! She loves teaching and you can tell! This class was so interesting and I passed with an A but you must read the book! The book was really interesting and explained concepts well. TAKE HER!!!!
She is the best Professor I've ever had. Makes learning enjoyable by getting the class to interact, ask questions. Excellent temperment, good control. Was a breeze. Thanks Dr. :)
Dr. Vanhorn is the best, if you can take her, DO IT!! She is one of the best Professors out there!
Took internet course DEP2204 human development, was the toughest "A" I ever got. She is very fair and truely wants her students to learn something. Her tests are no give away, you need to know the info. Initially did not even want to take the class but am glad I did, I respect her for not making the class too easy.
hER CLASS IS EASY. Just do all her extra credits,her lectures are carbon copies of her test, i don't know she's easy. Im a slacker and i got a B in her class.
I took her for Intro to psy, and she is pretty easy...Notes are on slides that you can print... Her study guides suck, instead of knowing the definintion to a word, you need to remember the situations in which you use it...Quizes were a brezz if you took the online quiz first. It truley helps... but BOOORIINNG!! Intill she brought in equipment...
I took this course over the internet. She is very helpful and will answer any questions quickly through email. She gives you very helpful tools through the internet site she has set up. I powerpoints and assessments are very helpful. She is a great teacher!!
took her for pysc and development. Very passionate with her teaching and teaches in a way you will remeber and learn. You must read the text no joke.!
I liked this class. Note: Do all online quizes before class and you will do good on the in class quizes, they are the same questions and combined worth 20% of your grade.. Come to class pay attention and read the book. If you do that, you will do good. She grades very fair, even has a C- (65-69) to help out if you did bad on a test. I recomend her!
I had her for my psychology and believe it, she made me love it. She made the class fun. You must read the book, study the vocabulary words and understand her lecture. Take notes whenever examples are being given in class lecture. They might end up on the exams.
She is a great teacher, very passionate but not easy. You must read your text, know vocabulary words & understand lectures. Make sure to do all online quizzes before the class so the class quizzes will be a piece of cake. She is very helpful & makes class interesting. Great teacher but not easy.
Dr. Van Horn is an amazing Professor. Class is interesting b/c she relates everything to real life. Easy to grasp concepts this way. Practically GIVES you the test material prior to exams. Utilize study guides by going to index in text, write page numbers on guide, and study from notes & text. Very interested in your success. Excellent!!!
Took Human Development online. Easy A as long as you read the textbook. Dr. VanHorn seems interested in the sucess of her students.
Great online class! She is crystal clear in her expectations and all that you need is available via the blackboard. Textbook use is essential. As long as you read the material and study you will do well.
She is a very nice teacher. The tests are hard but as long as you study all the notes and vocabulary you will do well.
She teaches a lot. You leave learning a lot. I had her for online class, she responds to emails quickly. She is very helpful. It is work though, expect lots of studying
I took Human Development on-line. If you have to take on-line course as I do than I would recommend this one. Just read and answer the study sheet thoroughly and there is no reason you should not get an A.
She knows her material and always open to answering questions. Easy online quiz, you can take unlimited. In class quiz is straight from online quiz questions. Tests are pretty hard. Make sure to study vocabulary and understand concepts. If you put in the effort of studying you'll receive and "A".
I think the only thing I have to say is that she posted the statistics of our first test and the average was a 59. I talked to a few people in the class half way through and they said they have not scored above a 65 on a test. Unless she does a nice curve a lot of people are failing her online PSY 2012 class.
I took this as an on line course. Easy A if you read and answer the study questions thoroughly. She expects you to learn something and wants her students to do well...why wouldn't she. She responds quickly to emails and questions. If you have to limit your on site classes as I do, I would definately recommend this as an on line course.
intro psy- tests are not easy make sure you attend all classes and use study guide. I am usually an A student made an B overall grade this was with hard work. Make sure you do online quizzes a few classmates didn't they were sorry at the end.
I loved this class and she is the greatest Professor I've ever had. Her class is easy if you pay attention, which is awesome since she makes lectures fun. :] I would love to take her again. If you have the chance to be in one of her classes, go for it!
One of the best teachers I've ever had! She is soo great, and her classes are VERY interesting. She really does care about her students, and does offer help if you ask for it. HIGHLY recommended.
GREAT TEACHER!! Loves the subject and really knows the material. Is willing to help anyone that needs it. 4 Tests and in class quizes are excatly the same as the online quizes. Tests are excatly what she says, do the study she gives you. Passed with an A. There is also a short paper that is requried, no more than a page long.

Dr. Van Horn is awesome! She made me want to go into Psychology as my major. She is very enthusiastic about the subject and makes it interesting. Tests are tough but a good grade is more than possible if you do the online quizzes and study them to get 100's on the in class quizzes. Definitely recommend her!!!
Absolutely my favorite teacher thus far! I had so much fun. Her tests are hard but she is so interesting and has a lot to teach you. I really took a lot away from this class. Love Love Love this teacher!
I didn't enjoy this class at all, but I think that might be partly because I took it online. Dr. Van Horn was nice in her emails; she also provided good study guides(hard tests) and gave us unlimited trys on the quizzes. She's a good teacher, and I imagine the in-person classes are better. This was the hardest 'A' I have received in college yet!
I had her for human dvpt during the summer and got an A. If you read and do the study guides and really know them, her tests were pretty easy I thought. There is one essay-type thing you do which isn't too bad. If you need this class, take her.
Im taking her online class, very simple. I just took the midterm ( sort of tough) and got an A, when I had thought I would most deff. get a C or B. For our exam next week, she is letting us take it at HOME or ANYWHERE we choose-due to her being out of town! Amazing. She is down to earth. If you want to be sucessful, take her!!
I took Dr. Van Horn's class online. I would recommend her again. Her test are hard though and her study guide is not 100% accurate, but if you at least study them you should do fine. She also responds to emails rather quickly. Good luck if you take her.
PhD.Van Horn is a great Pof. You have to read and do everything she says in order for you to get a good grade,but if you do that, an A is more than posible... I'm taking her again for Human Development...She made me change my mayor into Psychology <3
Professor Van Horn is an incredible professor! She makes class fun and helps you to be genuinely interested in the subject. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Professor Van Horn was amazing! I had no itnerest in the class at all it was just for an elective and I loved it! It was a lot of fun and she made it so interesting!Had fun with hands-on learning and her tests are a little difficult but if you study and read your notes from class you will do fine! Definitely recommend this teacher!
I just wanted to add to all of the great comments about Van Horn. She is sweet and she CARES! She is SUPER smart, so pick her brain.. she loves it! She will help advise you on where you are heading with your education. Pay attention to her examples, you will be tested and she will admit that her tests can be difficult, even if you studied hard.
Took human development online. Study guides can be confusing and tests were pretty hard. I would recommend it taken in the classroom.
this class is really, really boring. its easy as long as you do all of your online work and study a little for the tests. but the class drags on forever. soo boring. take another teacher !!!
Study! Study! Study! This was not an easy class for me to pass. My advice is to buy the study guide that goes along with the book. It helped so much and made it possible to pass the class. I didn't really hear much from the professor except for an occasional e-mail saying when exams were.
Loved this class! Dr Van Horns test are tough, but if you study and take notes, you'll have no problem passing it. And if you fail, it's probably because you put no effort into her class. Her lessons were very interesting, but be prepared for a ton of reading. Got a B on my final.
Dr. VanHorn is very clear in her lectures. There is a lot of class participation and examples. I was very pleased with her teaching. Tests are NOT impossible, everyone can get an A if follow through with notes and study guides. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! :0)
Highly recommend her! Her lectures are clear with plenty of examples and questions are always answered. Her exams are fairly easy if you take the time to KNOW and understand the materials. In class quizzes are taken before each chapter and are the main points in your grade as well as class participation. Take her you"ll pass
Loved her!!! My favorite teacher out of all of them. I enjoy her so much that we're planning a meeting after I even have her class so she can help me! Nicest professor there is. Took her for psych and human development. Intelligent and caring. I'd HIGHLY recommend her.
LOVED HERRRR! She was an awesome professor and her lectures were veryyyy clear. She definitely encourages participation and the 2 writing assignments weren't difficult at all, neither are her exams. I ABSOLUTELY recommend her! She's the BEST professor Ive had at IRSC so far!
she was great!!! the course was pretty easy!!
i loveeeeeeee this teacher come to class EVERYDAY, complete ALL online and in-class quizzes and follow the study guide to pass the exams(4) and i highly recommend that you participate in class for that also improve your grade....nice teacher very helpful
Best Prof. at IRSC hands down. So far I've taken 17 classes at IRSC and she tops THEM ALLLLL. I used to couldnt give a flying fish paste about Psychology or Human Development but after taking her, Im glad I learned about them. TAKE HERRR best lady on Campus
online course takes alot of time....take the class
She brags about how hard her class is, but I have a B+ by doing study guides and memorizing online quizzes. The class is very boring therefor I dont pay attention at all but if you dont go she will take away points. Study for your tests and u will pass. She is very helpful and answers emails right away.
Would not recommend taking this class online like I did. The teacher is great though. Very helpful and understanding.
VERY interesting class, she is very engaging and humorous at times with her lectures. She lays out the info and her curriculum for quizzes before lecture works well. She is open to discussion always. Tests are the only difficult part. Takes quite a bit of studying. If you do bad on the first test go talk to her and she will help you in the class
took this class online&completely regret it. This professor has absolutely no direction. The only thing she provides for you are the pages in the textbook you need to read and then you have a test on 3 or 4 chapters. There is no lecture, homework or any other type of assignment that can help you get involved and understand the material also vague
I took the online class. She responds promptly to emails, and is very helpful. I highly recommend this great teacher.
I'm taking this course online and it's a breeze. There are online quizzes that are taken at home (easy and straight from the text). Prof. VanHorn also gives a straightforward study guide for the Midterm and Final - if you just go through each topic in your book you will ace it like I did. There is a small writing assignment as well.
she is amazing, really easy, she make me want to learn more about psychology, also a little strict, one paper is required, super easy, do the online assignment and mastery quizzes and your fine. hint mastery quizzes are exactly like learning curve so free a. harld went to her becuse it was easy. want an easy A, do online work and so up, for review.
This class is easy. Do the online quizzes, the in-class quiz questions come directly from them. The exams are pretty easy if you study. She's nice but does get boring.
Online class is very simple. You have one term paper all semester and you have to take a weekly quiz. The quiz is online so it makes the quiz easy bc you can use your book at home. She gives a great study guid for the midterm and final. Excellent teacher
Online course: I got an A. VanHorn won't overwhelm you. Just do your assignments & you'll be fine. 1 written report req. USE echo360 if you take online it helps. My only complaint is that I wish the teacher was more involved w/ online students, She seldomly emails however, she is quick to reply if you have a question. Overall: Happy w/ the outcome.
Online course, syllabus is accurate. This professor never responds to emails, so if you have questions you will need to look elsewhere for the answers.
Class was easy, tests were somewhat difficult
Amazing teacher. Engaging & interesting lectures. She really knows her stuff and is passionate about the material. The book/code are mandatory, and if you do the assignments you should understand the material. She's a GREAT communicator and her tests are a cinch... maybe not for everyone, though. I'm definitely going to take her again for DEP2004!
Vanhorn is an awful teacher. I hated her class, and I will never take her again. Her lectures are LONG and BORING. Her test are HARD even when you study. I got an A but with little help from her.
This class online isn't that hard. If you use the textbook for the online quizzes, you'll get A's on all of them. The study guides for the mid term and final are exactly the same and in the same order as the test itself. The only reason I got a B is because I didn't study for the tests so I got C's on both of them. Overall, it wasn't a hard class.
VERY STRONG TEACHING ETHICS.Knowledgeable about the subject. Alot of power points through ANGEL and chapter reading is necessary for her class. Teaches right from the text books which makes it easier to study that way as tests are derived from both the online quizzes and text material.
Great teacher! Took this class in Summer 1. Well organized and very helpful. Study guides are great. Reading the book is a must. I did not have any problems with email responses. Online quizzes are a great way to study and an easy way to maintain your class grade.
I loved Dr. Van Horn! She's super sweet and really knows what she's talking about. The homework and quizzes are really easy and the tests aren't bad as long as you study. By far the best professor I've had yet.
This class is fairly easy, just make sure to do the study guides and you will do great on the test. The only thing I didn't like about her is when you email her with a concern, depending on what it is she would respond with slick unnecessary comments.
