For Educational Psych. Extremely nice and helpful lady. Tests are multiple choice straight from the book, 50 questions, not hard. You will do a class project and a couple other simple assigments. DON'T BUY THE CASE STUDY BOOK! You only use it once, just see if you can copy pages from someone.
she is really a good teacher- helps out when every you need her- always asks for feedback about how she is teaching. take this class

You really only need the case studies book and not the other one!
very interesting and has a great personality
She is very silly and a little off the hook! Tests require studying. Her teaching assistant is very, very helpful as well. They provide study sessions before tests and the teacher answers question before and after class and in her office if needed. Great Teacher!
she is an amazing professor. i really learned a lot in her classes. it is probably one of the only classes that will help me when i start teaching. she is a wonderful sweet woman who does everything she can to help you. take her! this is a great class.
AWESOME! highly recommended!!
She was really helpful and as long as you pay attention the class really isn't that complicated...most of it is commonsense or a review from psyc 101

Very sweet and understanding woman. I highly recommend. I'm learning so much from the class. Don't bother buying case study book, only use once. Fun Group project and 2 small reflection papers that she refuses to give any less than 20/25 on. Tests are easy. Very fun class.
Great class. She's a wonderful teacher, and always keeps the class interesting.
Very nice and class is pretty easy. 3 tests, final that is like a test but a little longer, not too hard though, 2 short papers, and a group project. I highly recommend!
Not a difficult class at all. There are 3 tests, an interesting case study presentation and a few papers (not difficult to write these papers at all). It is an interesting class, the only thing I disliked about it was when I had to take it, it was too early. Other than that, I highly recommend this class and this professor!
Great professor! Really interesting. Does take attendance, but you will want to get the material. Hands out important terms, tests are easy! Group Presentation is 60 mins long, so incorporate a lot of group work in it! Great class! Easy A!
Great class. Not an easy easy A, but if you attend the class should get a good grade. 2 papers, 3 tests + final, and a 60 min group presentation. Nice professor.
best teacher ever!
Class is ridiculously easy...the tests are the same every semester. Buying the book would be dumb because you'll spend $100 and never use it (wish I would have known). She is a really nice lady, her stories relate to the class and she likes to get feedback from her students. One group project which is easy as well...class can be drawn out sometimes
Beth is a wonderfl teacher and even better person. Her engaging personality really brings class to life. Very down-to-earth and approachable. Tests: pretty easy. Framework papers: easy. Case study: fun....no need to buy book...wish every teacher was as caring and compassionate as she is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
She changed my life! I failed AP psyc in high school, but when I took this class she made everything so straight forward it was hard not to learn. Test are multiple choice and she gives out smarties before each test. I would recommend this class to anyone and everyone!
BEST TEACHER! very helpful teaching methods and fun class. keeps your attention. tests are straight from your notes and not hard to get an A or B. GO TO CLASS AND PAY ATTENTION YOU'LL DO VERYY WELL! =]
love her! She is very nice..really down to earth..and clear..she tries to keep us awake..and it's not very hard because she makes it fun in her own way! I wish she taught Psych 203! I really love her..just pay attention..take good notes..stay up on the syllabus and you'll do great!
One of my fav teachers by far!!!
the nicest teacher at towson very easy to understand teaches great tests are easy and really no homework but reading
Great teacher. Works very hard to make sure you understand. Show up, read book, write your own paper and you will do well.
One of the sweetest teachers if you actually put forth a bit of effort. You don't have to participate in class but you want to anyway. Very interesting class. I thought the paper assignment was confusing but I ended up with a B on it. All tests are easy 40 multiple choice questions, even the final (which had extra credit problems, also easy).
Class was almost always fun and interesting, and if not you could text or sleep and she didn't really care. Tests are easy: five 50 multiple choice questions (non-cumulative) straight from lecture. Absolutely do not buy the book. SHe's nice and likes talking about sex.
Great teacher, very nice and very helpful. She makes the class interesting. I read the chapters in the book sometimes, but she give you everything you need to know. tests are easy, and the final is non cumulative. great class I recommend it very highly.
Psychology is not always easy or interesting, but with her it is! She made everything simple and clear and lectures were always interactive. The tests were straight forward, you get smarties before every test, and she always goes over everything. The final is NOT cumulative and she never forces you to participate.
I had her for 101 last semester, and I took her for 201 this semester. She is a great teacher, likes to have a lot of class discussions, but she doesn't force people to participate. 2 papers, and tests every few chapters... great class, I would definately recommend it!
she is wonderful...u really dont haave to use the book at all the test are directly from the notes and she takes into consideration that you have other classes...jus dont miss 2 many classes she take attendance every class
excellent teacher! def take her, she makes class interesting, and she is SO nice. you learn ALOT in this class, and she makes it so easy to understand.
Take this teacher! She is amazing! She really cares about her students and make you want to come to class! Plus she gives you smarties before each test. And the tests are simple, she gives a word bank! 3 tests, 2 short papers, and a comprehensive final which isn't hard! This woman makes me look forward to being a teacher!
Great teacher. She is very nice and explains things very clearly. Engages herself with students. Definetely take her if you have the option!
Great teacher! Explains everything clearly. Makes class interesting. 4 tests on lectures and book and 2 short papers. Lots of videos in class too.
Gallihue is super nice! She gives out a lot of helpful handouts. There are just two short papers and a few tests. Read over the handouts and your few written notes and you'll do fine. I got an A and didn't break a sweat.
I do recommend taking this class. The teacher is very nice and the class is somewhat interesting. I had like 4 or 5 40-multiple-choice tests (easy). You DO have to show up for class, but she gives out worksheets to everything! reading the book is not necessary for a B but is for an A. But she DOES talk about her two sons too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My only complaint is too many videos; could've been let out early instead. Otherwise, great class. She's eager to help you understand, teaches clearly, hands out sheets, etc. It's endearing how much she cares. But no need to buy the book - I ended up only using for a completely different class! Save your $$. Highly reccommend her; easy class.
She's pretty crazy in class but she's a good teacher and the class is easy
Great teacher! she cares about what she teaches and wants you to understand it. Very very nice and loves her family very much.
Great class. Gallihue kept it interesting; we watched a bunch of movies and had a lot of class discussion. The tests are really easy, especially if you recently have taken psyc 101; it's mostly the same material on the tests.
Shes an amazing techer and so fun!
Professor Gallihue is a great professor who wants everyone to do well in her classes. I took her for 101 and 201 and learned so much each time. She takes attendance, learns everyones name and her tests are based off of her lectures. She gives you sheets with the terms to know. Tests are mc, short answer for 201. TAKE HER!
She is one of my favorite professors at Towson because she teaches things so clear and is so easy to talk to.Lots of videos that are actually interesting and gives lots of handouts.Tests are pretty easy and very fair and 2 short papers u write about urself!Dont buy the book.Doesnt enforce participation,understands us shy people!she is a LCSW too.
She is an absolute sweetheart. Gives you the key terms you need to know for the chapters & exams. Tests are straight forward. This class made me become a psych major.
Amazing. She is very clear when teaching new material, and opens up a lot of interesting discussions in class. Also shows great videos. I'm only in my second semester, but this is the best class I've taken so far at TU. Tests are straightforward, and the only two papers are about yourself. If you're planning on taking Ed. Psyc., take it with her.
Fantastic teacher! Very nice and helpful. Passionate about the subject. Presents the material in clear and interesting ways. Easy class. I've taken her twice, definitely highly recommend her!
SHE IS AWESOME. TAKE HER!
Great,great teacher,so easy . you don't need the book at all, she is a tree killer but everything she passes out will be on the test. so keep it all in a safe place. 4test MC, 2 paper about yourself. she is a good, fun teacher, I got a A and everyone else in the class got B very few C. Take her
AWSOME TEACHER....CLASS WAS GREAT AND TEST WERE EASY. TAKE HER IS YOU CAN SHE IS WONDERFUL.
Prof. Galihue is one of the most talented teachers I've ever had! She also teaches Ed. Psych., which explains how skilled she is a relaying information. She really knows what makes people tick, and even the most boring subjects can be interesting with her spin. Her tests are amazingly easy, and she truly believes in everyone's ability to do well!
AMAZING professor! Very passionate about the subject and teaches it phenominally well! Would recommend this class to anyone even if you are not a psych major or interested in psych- she makes class interesting. Tests are not too harsh- study and you'll do fine. Again, she is an excellent instructor!
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Love her, take her if you can. totally made getting up for her 8am worth it. Don't buy the book!!! the first week she'll tell you to read a chapter but you don't need to and you don't need to buy the book. She teaches in a fun way, and shows a lot of video clips, including dora the explorer. TAKE BETH! SHE'S AMAZING! :)
Love her, she's great. Super nice and great teacher.
Great professor! Take her. Shes very clear and and explains everything fully and helps if you dont understand. Some short films in class which were great to help understand concepts. She likes class discussions but its not mandatory to participate. Gives study guides for each chapter.Dont need book. Multible choice test. Loved class and professor.
Best teacher I've had in a long time, she is very straight forward and she encourages participation and as long as you go to class and copy the notes from the board you can't fail. There are some stupid credits with the psych department, but other than that I loved the class.
This is the best teacher/ professor I have ever had! I highly recommend to take her class. She is very clear and as long as you go to class and copy the notes off the board you will get an A on the tests. Take her, you will not regret it!
Definately one of the better professors at towson.She has a lot of funny stories and examples. Half of the class is lecture other is class discussion. She will call on you. ALOT OF MOVIES!!! 2 papers,4 exams,final is cumulative beware! Attendance is mandatory. You dont need the book. I would take again.
Had her for 2 classes, and wished shed taught more!!! Take her if you can. She is one of Towson's best ever professors. Take her class if you can, you will be glad you did!!!
One of the best classes I have ever taken at Towson. She really cares about her students. You will learn a lot in this class. She mainly lectures, but also gives handouts and shows movies. Easy A if you do the work.
I really liked this class. She gave really interesting examples and engaged the class by making them share their own experiences. You dont need to read the book before class but she takes info from the book for the exams. Final is cumulative! beware! It wasn't so bad. I recommend this class though.
Wonderful teacher. Explains everything clearly and is always trying to find new ways to teach material because everyone learns differently. Some short movie clips. Wants to know your opinion in class but participation isnt mandtory. Give study sheets. Tests are straight foward. Gives Smarties before every test. Great all around teacher. Take her!
Awesome teacher. Take her. Makes learning the material fun and uses tons of examples to help you understand. Very nice person and very approachable. Don't really use textbook, if you go to class, take notes, and pay attention you will pass.
Towson needs more teachers like her in every department. She is wonderful and helpful but not a push-over! :) Perfect professor.
Awesome professor. She was very interesting and helped you understand any topic. Loved to use her sons as examples which really helped to put the topics in a pragmatic view. If you're taking her you will get an A.
LOVE HER! Wish Towson had more teachers like her. Thought the class would be boring but she made it fun and interesting. She really understands everyone learns differently and works with that. 2 papers which are actually fun to write and 4 exams.
She is the best teacher ever! She is so helpful and fun, she is really interested in what her students have to say. Best teacher I've had at Towson so far. Tests are straightforward and she makes it clear what she expects. Very into class discussions! TAKE HER!
Such a nice lady! Understands students very well and goes out of her way to make sure she relates and helps you as much as possible. Tests are pretty easy if you look over your notes. Attendance every class but it's only to help you out. Gives out 'smarties' before every test. Such a sweet lady and really good, basic class. I would def. reccomend!
Great teacher! Willing to help with anything. You'll do well as long as you come to class, take decent notes, and look over them every few days.
Amazing professor! She knows how to teach and get the class involved. She is very clear with assignments and makes sure you understand your work. To get a good grade on the test you have to study the materiel, but it's straight forward. Definitely worth taking, enjoyable and good sense of humor!
Very nice, clear material, don't need the book, also VERY boring. Teaches like you are in elementary school. Easy A.
Very nice, clear about what she's talking about. Big on participation; has class discussions at least three times per class. Great teacher, understanding and funny. Attendance is mandatory but everyone WANTS to be there cause she's such a great woman and teacher. She's also a therapist.
Loved this woman. One of the nicest professors you will meet and she teaches very clearly. Class is usually pretty engaging and fun, and the tests are on exactly what she teaches in class. Easy, nice, and interesting professor.
Awesome professor! Take her class if you can. Very clear about expectations and doesn't make things harder than they need to be - but you will learn a lot! Very nice and understanding professor - you won't regret taking her class.
A great teacher- definitely knows what she is doing. Enjoyed her lectures and how she could engage the class, but without making anyone uncomfortable. She is a very understanding person. Her tests are partially applied learning, but not difficult if you pay attention and study a bit. Lots of videos that go with lectures. Definitely recommend her!
best teacher I've ever had. whole grade consisted of 4 tests which were easy if you study
Such a great teacher. She makes her lessons fun and engages with students throughout the class. She doesn't just talk at you. If you study the tests are easy. Definitely take her she is awesome
Great teacher... take her!
She was a lot of fun and kept interesting. Class is a PowerPoint and a lecture but you're rarely bored with it. Take her is you can!
Interesting class. She is awesome. You have to study, but its easy. Not for given easy A seekers though.
Best teacher I've ever had.
She is great. Made me excited to get up early for an 8 am because I always knew I was going to have fun. Very good at engaging the class. The best part is the class discussions. works off of powerpoint. very simple tests.
She is awesome! As long as you take notes, you don't need a textbook. She goes over exactly what will be on the tests. Class is engaging, so it's actually enjoyable. She's laid back and funny so I looked forward to going. She actually shows she cares about each student.
Loved her! She was great! I would definitely recommend her if you get the chance! One of my favorite professors.
TAKE HER! Professor Gallihue is the sweetest and best teacher I have had at Towson. She makes the class fun and exciting. We never use the book except for once or twice in class. Study the notes that you take and the tests will be a breeze. She is literally the best so take her!
Professor Gallihue is amazing! I felt very comfortable in her class, and you can tell she loves her students and loves to teach. Tests are hard, but the final was easy. 4 tests for the whole class, no homework. Note taking every day on her lectures. She is always happy to help and talk. Take this class!!!
This class was super easy! As long as you take notes you will ace the tests. It gets kind of boring but if you want an easy A, definitely take her class.
Prof. Gallihue is a great professor! Very passionate about her subject. Class is very engaging.I would recommend her to anyone! 4 tests, and 2 papers!
Beth Gallihue is a wonderful teacher. She definitely cares about each student. I took AP Biology in high school which helped. After a month I realized I did not need to read the text; everything on the exams is said in class. 3 Exams are mult choice, final is mostly the last few chapters and then one cumulative section. not curved.
Loved this professor. She tends to all learning styles. She very fun and interested in her students. You don't really need the book. I was always excited to come to class. She liked to talk about her clients which is helpful and interesting. The tests are all multiple choice. At of material to study. But as long as you pay attention you'll be fine
Impossible to fail, she's a great professor who kinda makes you love class.
best teacher I have ever taken here at Towson. she is so helpful and such a great teacher. I have never done so well in someones class. take her if possible!!!
She is very straightforward. There are 3 non-cumulative tests (50 multiple choice), 1 comprehensive final exam, and 2 papers, which is extremely easy because you are writing about yourself. She knows how to convey the material and concepts to real world situations. If you passed intro to psyc, you will pass 201.
Professor Gallihue as by far the best teacher I had all semester. Her lectures are extremely clear and the tests are only on the slides she puts up. She makes the class really interesting and provides lots of examples. Her tests were all 50 questions multiple choice. She made getting up at 8 am not so horrible.
Wonderful professor. I enjoyed her class so much. If you email her, she always checks up with you the class afterwards to make sure everything is clear and settled. Her tests are very easy and she really cares about her students - very important when teaching a course about the psychology of teaching! She remembers little tidbits of everyone, too!
I absolutely adore this professor. I would definitely take this class again. Her lectures are great and is a great listener and explains topics very well.
If you take notes exactly from her power points and pay attention in class, you'll pass. I took her class as an elective, but I did enjoy learning the material covered throughout the semester. There are two paper, but they're easy because the essays are self-reflections of your past. Overall, don't hesitate, take her!
She is a sweetheart! I have never even touched my textbook. If you copy the power point and study it you'll get an A. the class is four exams all 50 questions multiple choice. TAKE HER!
She is hands down the best professor I have had. IF YOU CAN, TAKE HER!!!!
I enjoyed going to her class bright and early. You need to show up to class, copy the power points verbatim, and listen to what she is saying! The way she teachers allows you to actually understand the material, instead of just remembering, making the tests a breeze. All multiple choice and she passes out smarties to remind us that we're smart :)

Really enjoyed this class. Interesting and easy to pass as long as you do all the assignments and attend regularly. Extremely nice woman.
I took psychology with one professor, and it didn't work out because he was just SO boring & made me kind of despise taking Psych, then I took this professor, and she is freaking AMAZING. I love Psych now, and understand it more in-depth. If you have to take this course, go with Gallihue! You won't regret it!!
You don't need the book. Just copy down powerpoints and study those for class. I got an A on every test doing that. Never used her key terms sheets. Explains things clearly, has interesting lectures. Just show up to class, take notes, study them, and you'll be fine. Had her for an 8am, and she was understanding and let us eat.
This woman knows how to teach, and is entertaining. Go to class, pay attention, don't bother with the book, put forth decent effort to study for tests and you'll do well. Her expectations and her lectures are really clear and well-organized. The final was a lot more challenging than her other tests, but follow my advice and it won't be an issue.
Awesome professor ! Extremely helpful and clear, you wont regret taking her
Professor Gallihue is amazing. The lectures are entertaining and she mixes a lot of (optional) student discussion and videos throughout them. She makes learning fun, because the lectures were so informative and entertaining I didn't have to spend an unholy amount of time studying. The papers are all about your self development so those are fun!
Professor Gallihue is easily my favorite professor I've had at Towson. She is so kind, loving, and knows what she is doing. She gives off a cool mother-figure vibe. She's an amazing teacher and students rarely missed class because they wanted to be there. Also, I never opened my book because her lectures covered it all.
Literally the greatest psych professor. Simple exams and basically no outside work
The best professor I have had at Towson. Had her for Intro. Glad to have had her for 201. She is hilarious. Always makes the content relatable. Just go to class. Pay attention. She makes it interactive. You won't regret taking her. Her exams are straight off her lectures. She uses PPTs - not on blackboard. But not hard to copy down in class. :)
GREAT TEACHER. had her twice now. 3 tests and a final. no homework. attendance mandatory, doesn't post anything on BB but grades. Easy A if you show up. Class environment is fantastic. She truly cares for her students. DEFINETELY RECOMMEND!!!
You have to show up for every class because it's apart of your grade and she doesn't post her powerpoints online and her tests are based solely on the information presented on those powerpoints. If you study all the notes the tests are easy. Overall easy class and she's really nice and cares.
Amazing professor! Go to class because the notes aren't online but she makes it fun and interesting. Tests aren't too hard either!
Don't buy the textbook.
She genuinely cares about students learning. She doesn't put the notes online though so you have to go to class if you want them. You don't need to read the textbook to pass the class though, her tests are all over the class discussions and key-terms worksheet she hands out before the start of every new chapter.
Prof. Gallihue is the best! She genuinely cares for her students and even though attendance is mandatory, she makes class interesting and a breeze to go to. Take her, you will not regret it.
She explains the material in such an easy-to-digest; even old material you thought you understood. She has lots of energy and class flies by. She's entertaining to listen to and never goes off topic. You don't need the textbook, just write what's on the PP, which aren't available outside of class. 4 easy tests, 2 reflections, & EC available.
Professor Gallihue is AMAZING!!!! If you have the chance to take her class, cherish every moment. 14/10 would take again.
I look forward to go to this class every week! She is the BEST. She gives a very motherly vibe and makes the class very interesting and constantly allows students to speak so its not just her reading off a powerpoint the whole time. Exams are easy if you write down notes since she does not post them online. Have to write two framework papers
Prof. Gallihue genuinely cares about her students and wants to help them become the best possible educators/psychologists. Her lectures are really interactive and discussions really add to the class. Even though I've taken several other psych classes, she helped me understand concepts I'd never gotten before. Take her, you won't regret it!
She was really great! She doesn't post slides on blackboard but she goes at a good enough pace for you to be able to take notes in class. Her slides are very easy to understand and test are based off her slides. Very nice lady and would love to take her again!
Prof Gallihue is amazing. This was my first psych class. She made class so interesting and always asks people for their experience with different topics. The exams are fair and you will do well if you study the content. Love her! I hope to get her again for her human development class.
I wish I can take professor gallihues class every single semester. She is kind, caring, supportive, and makes the class interesting. She doesn't just lecture the entire time she gets the class to engage with each other and tell stories related to what is discussed in class. 100000% would recommend taking her.
The Professor is awesome and will help you if your confused about the lesson. Have to study for test but it's mostly repetitive questions and the lessons are fun to attend. Never boring
Professor Gallihue is great! Her tests are all multiple choice and are fairly easy. The class does require a little more than just showing up to lectures but overall the course load is not harsh. She is sweet as can be and very understanding.
Very amazing lecturer. She knows what she is talking about. Exams are not super difficult but there is a lot to remember. Very good energy
This course is pretty easy, the book can be found online for free and as long as you attend lectures you'll stay on good terms with the professor. For a psych professor she isn't very understanding of a student's life outside of class. Lectures are straight forward and easy to comprehend. Tests are all multiple choice just read the book.
Professor Gallihue is the best. Her class consists of 3 non-cumulative tests. All straight from the powerpoint. She does not post the ppt on blackboard so you really have to show up in class to get the notes needed for the exams. EASY A if you pay attention and study.
Best teacher I've ever had. You can tell that she likes what she does, and that she's invested in her teaching. I challenge you to find a more caring, inspiring, friendly, intellectual teacher than Professor Gallihue. She does an excellent job in teaching the material and making it interesting!
Professor Gallihue is the BEST!! I highly recommend her psych 101 class, although she makes attendance mandatory her lectures are very interesting and everything on the exam comes straight from her powerpoint lectures so make sure you take notes! So if you show up and put in a little effort you will get a good grade.
She is amazing. She is so interactive with the class and really loves her job. The first test I took was 50 MC questions and i got a 92 on it. Her tests are straight from the notes and shes just such a good teacher! She shows videos & doesnt rush the lectures.
Prof. Gallihue is without doubt the best teacher Ive ever had. Her lectures were interesting and extremely helpful, but its important to come to class because the tests are always straight from her notes. Would choose her 10/10 times because how much shes into her job and very cool.
She really made psychology fun and her lectures were well organized and easy to learn. Her tests are pretty much all she goes over in lectures, so as long as you take notes and study, you should pass with flying colors. She really seems to love her students and loves teaching about her passion.
Absolutely love her as a teacher. SHE IS AMAZING. She puts all of the notes on powerpoint slides however she doesn't put them online, therefore, you need to go to class. Her tests are so easy because it's literally all from the notes. If you have never felt comfortable speaking out in class, she is definitely someone will change that.
Professor Gallihue is truly one of the best. She makes the information really easy to understand and makes the class really lively. There are no papers of quizzes, just 4 tests including the final. I would highly recommend taking this class with her.
She is one of my favorite professors. We never had any homework, and you only have 3 tests and then a final. You have to go to class, but she is so much fun when she presents so its not really a chore. The tests are easy to understand and does not have many trick questions. She really wants her students to do their best and also gives great advice.
Professor Gallihue made me enjoy coming to class and reminded me how much I used to love learning. I would 100% take this class again and if she ever is a professor for any of my future classes I will for sure pick her as my instructor!
Professor G. is such a sweetheart. The test are everything from the notes that you have to write down, and two essays that are personal which makes it easier. She cares so much about her students and I wish she taught all my classes. i recommend her :)
By far my favorite professor I've ever had. She makes learning interesting and actually makes you want to pay attention and learn more. The tests were based solely on the notes we took in class. Her lecture was very clear and easy to understand, she also is great at answering any questions you have. Shes great at getting the class to interact!
A literal ray of sunshine. Made waking up for an 8 am worth it. The class is an easy A if you take notes and actually listen to her fun lectures.
She is a phenomenal woman, you have to come to class though as she does not post her powerpoints, but the powerpoints are detailed and she explains things really well! She's the reason I am now minoring in psychology!
She is the BEST PROFESSOR AT TOWSON! She makes psychology so easy to understand and you actually will learn SOO MUCH. She's a great person outside of being a teacher, she is so easy to talk too. Exams are so chill as long as you study. Taking notes is easy. Attendance is a part of your grade, but if you have to miss class just talk to her. Take her
Happy that I took this class with her, discussions were always great (everyone wanted to chime in) and she's very nice and respectful. Says to buy the textbook but don't.. lol. Attendance is mandatory, it effects your final exam grade. Plus you have to take hand-written notes, no tech allowed. Graded by 3 tests, 2 papers, and a cumulative final.
i love prof gallihue. the class is super easy. three 50 question multiple choice tests, 6 credits psychology pool, no homework, final. she counts attendance, but it's okay to miss a class or too. her lectures are easy to understand and she tries to keep it entertaining. she's super sweet and you won't regret taking her even if it's an 8 am
She is one of the best teachers Ive had at Towson University. Her lectures are very clear and she always answers questions very well. She makes an effort to get to know her students names and information about them. Definitely will be taking an upper level psych class with her. If you can take her for psychology definitely do, you wont regret it!
I liked this professor but there are very few assignments which made it a bit stressful for me. You have three 50 point tests and a cumulative final of 68 points. You also have to participate in a research pool which is 12 points but that did not do much for my grade. If you are not a strong test taker I don't recommend taking this class.
Professor Gallihue was just OK. I'm almost graduated; this was an elective for me. She wasn't super accessible outside of class and the exams were hard for an easy class, especially during COVID which I'm sure didn't help. It wasn't the worst class I've ever taken, but it was definitely a class to study for the exams. The final is cumulative.
Great teacher, I took Professor Gallihue's class during COVID and she was great. Only one weekly homework, tests are just like the homework, and we can access the powerpoints she shows in class on Blackboard.
Definitely made class worth coming to. Not a lot of work; a couple of personal papers (casual writing, not research) and tests. Classes are important for passing, but are mostly discussion-based and really enjoyable.
Beth is a very nice teacher and will go over stuff with you if you didn' do well on an exam. On the other hand, her exams are hard just because she changes the words of definitio and nothing found in notes. She is not willing to change the exams or anything to help the students. You could do amazing and on the exam bu still would not be good enough
The best prof I've ever had at Towson! She was truly the kindest and most caring woman I've ever met. She made online learning fun and I always looked forward to coming to class. Material is interesting and practical, tests are a little wordy but all MC. No homework. If you study and pay attention its an easy A. TAKE HER!!
This class is a super easy A. There are three 50 multiple choice question tests, 6 credits psychology research pool, homework due every Sunday of the week, and a final. She counts attendance. She is such a really good lecturer, especially at an 8am class, she really understands her students' struggles, wants best for everyone. PPT notes online.
This professor is amazing. You can tell she loves to teach the subject. She gives real examples. And the exams are very easy. Take this class!!!
Professor Gallihue is so nice and cares about her students. Total there are three tests and one final that is based heavily on those chapters that are centered around it. The homework is easy and you get credit for just doing it. The class lectures are very well engaging and teach you a lot.
I love Professor Galihue, she keeps you engaged during lectures even if you have her early in the morning. Definitely would recommend this class, but if you don't go to class it's very unlikely you'll pass.
Professor Gallihue is very nice and understanding. Only 1 hw assignment per week and it is a multiple choice/fill in the blank online using the textbook. Her lectures were very interesting and the exams are based off of the textbook and her powerpoints. If you show up and pay attention, you will pass. I would for sure want her as a professor again!
She is so understanding and wants the best for her students. Her real life examples helps so much. She makes me want to come to class. Take her if you can.
OMG the best teacher, she is so kind and helpful. Only four tests all semester and the final is noncumalitive, super easy and learned so much!!!
Amazing professor. So nice and caring! Her classes are very interesting and her topics and examples keep you focused/ entertained the whole time because it is so interesting. I learned a lot! Coming to class makes a huge difference!
Professor Gallihue is a great teacher and if you go to class you will literally be fine. I barely studied for any of the tests and I got an A on every single one. She is very engaging in class and makes 8 am's a lot easier to stay awake through.
Professor Gallihue is such a nice and genuine person. Her class is very participation based but she doesn't force people to participate if you don't want to. The class is made up of one paper, 3 exam, and a cumulative final. Exams aren't hard if you go to class and pay attention. In all not a hard class and she is such a great professor.
Professor Gallihue is an amazing professor. She has the right lecture to participation ratio and always keeps the class involved. She's not tough on grading, just do all the work. Homework is easy and not stressful. Attendance does matter because there is a lot of material but this is a class that you will not dread going to. She is very nice!!!
Professor Gallihue was a pretty good professor. Every class is a lecture, but she truly keeps them interesting. Her grading system consisted of three exams, a final, and one paper with a couple chances for extra cred. She's a caring and sweet woman, but has little to no leniency for missed assignments/exams. If you study though you will be fine!
Gallihue is a wonderful teacher and makes content applicable to daily life. She is humble and relatable- and grades exactly how she says she will. She is a wonderful motivator inside and outside class and makes going to an 8am worth it.
Professor Gallihue's lectures were something to always look forward to as they always sparked conversation in the class. All of the tests are very straightforward and to the point so try not to overthink. The written paper was definitely a little harder as grading came off as being subjective. However, she is very accessible and understanding.
I loved Professor Gallihue!! She was so caring, made the lectures super interesting and would always ask questions to include us in the lectures. Her tests were based off the chapters you would learn in class and if you study, you'll pass! If you're looking for a psych 101 class, take her!!!!
Professor Gallihue is very straightforward and her tests are almost identical to the chapter homeworks that she gives to if you study, you for sure will pass. Easy grade and she keeps the class interesting by engaging the class. I hated taking an 8am but she actually made it bearable for me freshmen year. You should def take her for psych 101
She is very caring, understanding, knowledgable, and experienced. My word of advice is to do the online homework and to NOT miss ANY exams at ALL costs. I missed my first exam bc I was in the hospital, and when I came back to take it the redo was an ALL written exam that was 10x harder than the multiple choice (exams normally multiple choice).
Professor Gallihue is a therapist, so she's a very qualified person to teach a psychology class. As long as you do the homework (she used SmartBooks for the class), you should get a good grade in the class. The exams are multiple-choice, so that's also a plus.
Always has interesting and engaging lectures that encourage participation from class. She is a therapist, so hearing her perspective on things is always neat. Multiple choice tests are a breeze if you stay on top of notes and review, homeworks are straightforward, and with research pool there is ample opportunity for an easy A. I enjoy this class!
Study for the exams although showing up will be 80% of the work that you have to do. She is super accessible and willing to help you if you need it. The exams are 50 points (3 of them) and the final which is cumulative is 100 points. One paper which as long as you are open enough and apply the content you should get a good grade. Loved her!!
Professor Gallihue is extremely kind and caring to her students. The class itself is an easy A if you show up and pay attention to her lectures. There is no homework and all lectures are posted online, but she is strict on attendance and it will impact your grade. It can be slow paced at times but the least stressful class I have taken at Towson
Professor Galligue was GREAT! I absolutely loved her. The class was mainly lecture based, but she made it easy to pay attention and engaged with the class often. The whole course is 3 exams and one paper. Not much outside work. Come to class and you will pass.
Professor Gallihue was my favorite professor all semester. She makes lectures engaging and her tests are easy if you study key terms and notes. She loves participation so feel free to share! Weekly homework due at Sunday 11:59pm, shouldn't take long and it's graded on completion. Don't procrastinate your research points, studies may reach capacity!
She is a fine professor but makes her exams seem a lot easier than they are. The class is a huge therapy session where she asks students for life examples and always follows up with and how did that make you feel? She is kind, you can tell she genuinely cares but she just stands there, reads off the slides, and that's it. Don't get the textbook.
Professor Gallihue was an awesome teacher. She really does care about her students. She spreads out tests and projects which I really liked. The tests are not too bad, just make sure you can apply the concepts to real world examples! She does a lot of class discussions which can be interesting. I really enjoyed the class, I would recommend taking.
I enjoyed her class but there are LOTS of in class discussions. I enjoyed them but sometimes it just felt repetitive. She really cares about her students and the environment in the class. She does take attendance and you need to show up as nothing is posted on BB. Tests are not bad, just study your notes. Overall, a pretty good class.
What a great professor. She teaches in a way that really sticks and cares about our success. Her lectures are very interesting and collaborative. I never participated much in other classes but I did in hers. Take this class!
Really great at giving engaging lectures but a tough grader. I also found the tests to be very confusing. Thinking of retaking the class to improve my grade but if given the chance I would take it with her again.
On the first day of the semester after winter break, I felt anxious because I was a freshman student still trying to figure out how college life was supposed to work. She helped with those fears by telling the class to breathe in and out slowly, to practice mindfulness.
Engaging lectures, tough grader. Tests can be confusing, but worth retaking. unstuck ai great for exam prep. Accessible professor, understanding grading on paper. Overall, recommended despite difficulty.
THE BEST- if you have the chance please take her class!!!!!
one of the nicest professors ever!! very easy class however your grade is dependent on tests and the paper, so if you're not good at either be careful. still, she's super funny and makes the lectures very engaging
This course is fine. Especially if you're not a PSYC major, having a course that's not too hard can be nice. It wasn't very intellectually challenging. She tends to shut down ideas she views as incorrect, which didn't leave much room for nuance. Show up to class, take notes from her slides. Don't bother taking notes on the text, but do read it.
Professor Gallihue was an amazing teacher. Her lectures were engaging even at 8 in the morning. She is such a caring professor and is very understanding. Tests can be hard but if you study you will pass.
Easy class as long as you show up, take notes, participate, and study. Prof is nice but a stickler for deadlines, she will not give extensions. Lectures were engaging and informative and contained most of the test content. Textbook not required but helpful to skim to study make sure you study the key terms she gives and you'll do well on the tests.
Overall, she is not a bad teacher but it is very test heavy and hard to pass the class if you don't spend everyday studying. I don't recommend her. You have to have a doctors note for missing class. I would not take her as a teacher again.
Prof. Gallihue is very knowledgeable about psych and she shows it. She is so engaging and the lectures are very discussion based. She is always available to talk to if you need help with something, and is willing to go over tests with you. I enjoyed this class again, I wish I could take all my psych classes with Prof Gallihue.
this was my second semester taking professor gallihue and i can't recommend her enough!! this class is lecture heavy but very engaging, so you won't get bored. she's genuinely VERY nice and goes over every concept clearly. 100% take her if you can!
i reccomend her. she makes class very engaging and she is nice if you are respectful. Your grade depends on 4 tests, a paper, and a project. the class is all memorization. entire class is a lecture so take good notes because she does not post the slides. work hard play hard class tbh.
Prof. Gallihue is a very informative and engaging professor but if you aren't the best test taker do not take this class. The exams (3, each 50 points) are very specific and textbook heavy so make sure you write notes and read up if you can.
Her lectures are good, but be aware they aren't posted on BB- so go to class or ask a peer. She may be a tad bit passive aggressive to some students, but I may be biased as I had her at 8am, and I get we are all tired at that time lol. But, I think her class is great at covering the bases, and the quizzes are all multiple choice and fairly easy.
Professor Gallihue is amazing! She listen, interacts, and cares about her students. You don't need to read the text book or even buy it. She will give a list of key terms with vocab words to know for the test. If you study those and pay attention in class you will pass with an easy B if not A!
