Very clear. Don't skip!! Read the book!!!!

Very interesting for the subject. Never got sleepy in her class.

The online class w/ her is just too much work. Don't take her online class unless you plan to only take one class that semester.Her online class will require at least 25 to 30 hours of work a week.

Granted her online class requires effort although it is not hard as initially percieved. She's clear, understanding, helpful, prompt...in essence, amazing.

She is not the easiest teacher but if your major is psych. she is great. You will learn so much. The is no need for a book in her class, she puts all the notes on the board. Her exams are multi-choice. And if you study the notes you should do fine.

Knows her stuff.

I think the previous bad posts were meant for another teacher, really. She is an excellent teacher, and, even more, her tests are the easiest that I ever took. For everybody looking to learn something and get a good grade in PSY as well, she's the perfect teacher. She knows her stuff, and she relates everything you learn to real life-very useful.

If you want to learn a lot about psychology, the perfect teacher is Dr. Lanthier. She is very helpful and easy to understand. I learned a lot in her two phychology classes.

She is very helpful when it comes to answering your questions. Pay attention in class, because ALOT of her quizzes, tests, exams are based on her lectures, your notes. The book and her lectures compliment each other. Very clear. Very good at comparing subjects in class to real life. She throws in funny and simple extra credit options in tests.

She is one of the best professors I've had thus far. I thoroughly enjoyed her class

I love her lecture, I think she is very clear. If you pay attention to the lecture you will not need to read the book. The only problem is that she can be tough depending on the class she teaches. PSy 213 is a lot of work!

She is a great teacher can be firm with the subject but great teaching style. The exams are usually from lecture and book. If you use the study guide from the website it's helpful. She can sneak in a few tough questions in her exams that leave you with "where did that come from. But otherwise great teacher.

I HAD AN EARLY CLASS WITH HER IN THE MORNING, SO THAT MIT HAVE BEEN PART OF THE REASON I DIDN'T DO SO HOT. SHE IS SUPER EASY BUT SHE IS SO BORING.IF U WANT AN EASY A BUT U HAVE TO STAY AWAKE.

I wouldn't take Lanier ever again. Eventhough her test comes from the class notes, you should do well but if you miss class you might as well drop. I would recommend taking Lynch during the summer session online if you really need this class. Other than that she is totally boring.

She is awesome. But for those of you that refuse to think she is not for you.

I loved Dr. Lanthier's class. She knows the subject inside and out and is very easy going. I learned a ton and loved going to class.

I don't know if it were the other negatives posts or what, but I thought she was great! Homework seemed like a killer, but statistics is no walk in the park. She was clear, didn't mind saying she didn't have all the answers, but she would find an answer. I thought she was cute. Give her a try.

Good teacher, easy to understand material, and tests were straightforward

The professor was one of the best I have had. I really enjoyed the class.

Dr. Lanthier is my favorite professor at NOVA. This was a very difficult course but she presented all the material clearly and explained everything very well. Having the slides available on Blackboard was very helpful and allowed me to prepare before class.

She gives study guides for every chapter, telling you what will be on the tests. Most test questions come from lectures, so take good notes in class. You can even drop your lowest test grade.

I had her for both PSY 201 and 202... She keeps it easy! All you have to do is attend class, pay attention, and skim over the chapter for review to get an A on her tests. I also liked her teaching method; she definately made things more interesting.

Dr. Lanthier is one of most encouraging teachers I have encountered. She genuinely wants everyone in her class to succeed and makes herself available to help you do so. She makes it clear at the beginning of the semester exactly what is needed of you to get an A, just do the readings, take notes, and take advantage of her online study questions.

Very nice,fun and helpful. The class is challenging but if you attend class, do your papers and study for the tests, you'll do fine.

I can't believe some of the reviews on this site! Dr. Lanthier is one of the nicest and most helpful teachers at nova! I see a lot of people complaining that she's too strict, but I believe she just expects her students to put a genuine effort into her class! She's always very helpful and I learned SO much from her!

she so nice

Good diverse tests, mult. choice and essay. I would recommend thi class and teacher.

She made the course easy and very comprehensive.

I had her for 201 and 202. Go to class. Test questions are almost all straight from notes. She gives review guides. Extra credit question on every test. Met me for extra help after class. Definitely recommend!

Statistics is HARD but Dr. Lanthier encouraged me. All of the notes are in Blackboard. We did lots of group problem solving in class, which helped a lot. She allowed open notes on the tests. Work hard, go to class, ask for help if you need it.

I wouldn't change one thing. Dr. Lanthier is a great instructore and I've enjoyed every class.

There were no trick questions in my class. The test questions were exactly like the homeworks. You can bring in a page of notes for every test. Real world examples. I finally understand statistics.

Dr. Lanthier gave examples to explain research concepts. Many students also gave real life examples. They made the concepts very easy to understand. Definitely taking more of her classes.

She is super organized. She gave us review questions for every chapter that told us exactly what to study. The lectures made the book easier to understand. You have to learn a lot but the class is fun with lots of discussions.

shes a good teacher.. she expects her student to work hard for thier grades. SHes pretty easy-going. she gives study guides/questions to help you study for her test. Shes a good teacher

She knew a lot about psychology and was very clear in the lecture. Test questions were mostly from the class notes. She was kind and respectful to all students.

Yes ONE person who can't spell and won't take responsibility for his/her own grade rates her three times a day, over and over. Get a life.

Very respectful to all students. She put study guides on the internet, which made it easy to know what to study for every test. Most test questions came straight from our class notes. She allowed lots of discussion in class, showed movies, and let us ask questions. I am taking her other class.

I cant believe people wrote bad comments about her! Her class is really EASY because she gives you notes, and the tests are written right from them. I didnt use the book at all. If the notes aren't enough she also gives study guides. You have to be clueless not to pass.

Great teacher, fun and respectful. Took her for both 201 and 202. Provides study guides, recommend doing them, helpful for tests. Reviews most of the book material in lectures. Overall Great teacher....

Overall quality teacher, definitely knows material well, class is a straightforward college class, she does not try to trick you, basically takes her test material right from lectures with few exceptions. No reason not to take her, her lectures are often pretty enjoyable.

We are in the middle of semester and could not wait to rate her. She is the most fun and productive professor. Her test are off her notes and lectures she gives out in class. She does fun interactive activities and shows the class videos to make it twice as fun. The time goes by real quick. So you will not feel it. HAVE FUN! :)

Tests and Quizzes: Most content comes from lectures, so you must take notes. A few lamely written questions that you will only understand if you read the book. Essays: Very sharpshooting on her grading. Don't expect an A. Overall: She's nice but annoying as anything. i think she may be insane. ...

Great teacher...Test from lecture...Book is a waste of Money, you will learn but you must study and think.. She's also pretty entertaining with her loud outbursts...Overall was very pleased.

Dr. Lanthier takes her role very seriously and expects the same from her students. She grades hard and is no nonsense - but if you put in the effort she will notice and work with you. She doesnt just give you a break, the more you slack the harder she is on you. Come to class on time, read, and use her website!

If you got a D in Psy 216 (Social Psyc) you have nobody to blame but yourself. I was in the class. There were a variety of assignments and each was posted on Blackboard. Very clear instructions. The tests were somewhat hard but she has study sheets that tell you what to study. Take good notes. Most test questions are from lecture.

The comment below this must be for somebody else. We don't have Psy 101. Dr. Lanthier teaches Psy 201 and there is NO homework. The tests are almost straight from notes (a few are from the book). The topics can be hard (lots to memorize) but she makes it very clear.

Very polite and willing to help those who ask. Likes to talk her family life with great example in relation to the topic. Great for those who are serious about psychology. Went over every aspect to make sure students understood everything they needed to know. HIGHLY RECOMEND TO THOSE WHO CAN THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a right choice to take psy 201 with her. then I decided to continue psy 202 with her. I recommend everyone to take her class. If you want to succeed in her class like me, take note in class and read a chapter review.

I wish all professors could be like her.Very Clear, I like her loud voice. If you listen to her carefully, you don't have to study alot! I highly recomend her!

Very nice teacher but her exam is like... if you don't mind for your grade, highly recommended.

She really cares about her students. She provides online study questions and explains things clearly. Be sure to do the homework.

I her for stats as well. Very good teacher and fields questions well and shows how concepts are related to each other.

Dr. Lanthier is a solid professor. Her expectations are clear from day one. If you commit yourself to her class, you will get an A. Her tests are mult choice + a few essay ones. Explains concepts well and gives a study guide. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking her class.

I took her for PSY 201 and PSY 202. They were great classes with many interesting discussions. She is very clear with lectures that explain and give examples. Use the online study questions that she provides. They show you exactly what to know for tests. There are homework assignments online for the chapters. They are easy and help your grade.

she's great. she's very clear about whats on her exams and her hw are easy too. i think the ppl who wrote bad comments about her probably just want an 'A' handed to them. You have to earn an 'A'. just listen to her lectures, do the hw and you'll be fine.

She is a easy going professor and has clear cut expectations. If you do the hw, you'll do fine, if you don't--don't expect to get a good grade. Also, her tests are easy too--as long as you study and do the hw. I'm taking her next semester.

There is online homework for each chapter. As long as you do it, you get 100%. There are study guides for each test. Test questions straight from those. She knows a lot and allows for lots of student participation.
