Dr Smith is consistent and supportive. She encourages her students to establish their independence in the class, but does not hesitate to provide a guiding hand if you're not understanding something. She wants you to participate 100% and encourages creativity in writing and applying the information from the text.

Don't take her online class. It honestly seems like she is making this up as she goes. I would begin an assignment and get a notification on my phone that the assignment was changed in canvas- refresh the page and there were more questions. This was a day before it was due. She was constantly changing things. She also doesn't post due dates ahead.

As a Psychology major and a junior in college I've taken over 60 hours worth of college courses.I say this for background. I have referenced the material I learned in Dr. Smiths class more times than I can count. The free text's been a blessing. She is rigorous when compared to other lower division courses but, YOU'LL LEARN!!

While this class ended up not really that interesting, Dr. Smith did a great job making an online class interactive to the individual. There are some discussions but the main point that I liked was she makes sure you understand the material.

Prof Smith was such a gem! (I had her FA/18) I actually understood the topics we discussed in class. Gordon rule class. The quizzes we took were based off of notes in class, you can see the notes online because she posts the powerpoint. Unit quizzes online and tests in class.

Dr. Smith teaches with such enthusiasm, it's hard not to pay attention to her lectures. Easy class, she uses a free online book, and her classes are very well structured. We switched from in class to online and it was so seamless that you can tell she just knows what she's doing and is always prepared for her students. Couldn't ask for better!

Dr. Smith is really nice and caring for her students. Regarding this class, it is very easy if you do the work. It consists of weekly discussions which if you put effort into your discussion you get credit and may even receive extra credit points. There are also weekly quizzes regarding the textbook. It is a fun and interesting course.

I thought the class was good, but I was not a fan of the teacher. She told me not to come to class if I wouldn't cover up my face. So I reported her to the dean. I thought her move was VERY unprofessional, disrespectful, immature, and inappropriate. You don't have the right to threaten teenagers and try to make up rules just b/c you are a teacher.

I absolutely adored this course. The assignments are fun! Each week you'll have a 25-question quiz (No time limit) and a short paper. Sometimes you'll have a discussion board to do, but she always puts the necessary materials right there on the assignment so it's super easy to follow along and complete. The textbook is a free online resource.

To the teenager who complained about having to wear a mask, grow up. Teachers CAN make up the rules when it comes to the safety of her and her students. When you get into the real world, you are going to have to follow rules even if you don't like it. Show some respect or don't go to college at all.

I am genuinely ashamed because I only received a B in the class due to absences and missing work, but this professor gives great feedback on work completled and is super helpful. 10/10

There is a lot of homework. Each week a short assignment with either a written one or a discussion. Additionally, if it's a discussion week, you'll be expected to submit your initial response by Wednesday and respond to peers on two separate days between Thursday and Sunday. Papers are graded hard, which is a little harsh for a psychology class.

I do not want anybody to think she is a poor professor, however... she took unnecessary points off for picky things or unclear instruction. Even if you were able to fix it, she would find something else to say. She is involved with the class and has engaging activities but she has a passive aggressive tone if you didn't say exactly what she wanted.

She was very nice and caring. There was quite a bit to read in the textbook. The discussion boards were a bit long at times but the days of when the initial post is to be done and then the replies to others are spread out which for some might be nice but others not as much. Some of the assignments were quite fun.

Shes fine and nice and will communicate with you. She is very nit-picky and if you fix the problem she will likely find something else. Attendance is mandatory and class time instruction is boring and she always wants you to do some type of group activity. She basically yaps the whole class. Youll have a writing assignment almost every week.
