What Students Say

THE WORSE CLASS I'VE TAKEN AT UVSC I learned absolutely nothing from going to class and I didn't write a single word down in my notes, and Even though the tests were easy, she has participation points so she forces you to go to class and speak in her competely irrevelant and utterly ussless class discussions

While this class is a breeze, she doesn't really teach anything. We have to take everything from the book because we don't actually talk about the subject while we are in class. She talks about the most random things and they dont make any sense or don't have any relavency to the subject. I would take it for an easy A, but not if you plan on learning anything.

Easy class but you won't learn anything. Suprising it's considered upper division. She's nice but stands on her soap box too much and every class is the same. Also, she doesn't breakdown your grades so it's impossible to ever know what your grades at until final grades come out. Would not reccomend unless you're looking for a fluff class.

It's an extra easy class. Most of the class is discussion based, but the discussions need to be reined in better.

Bonnie is an amazing person, she really cares about her subject and her students. This class was so easy. There are just a few papers that must be written and a few other assignments. Going to this class was really boring at times, but I honestly got a lot out of it. I didn't really learn about psychology, but I learned a lot about myself.

Bonnie is a great person and a pretty good teacher. She definitely cares about her students. Sometimes class was a little boring because there was never set lectures it was all just discussion on the same thing every day. Lot of group projects including one 75 minute presentation which was a killer. Pretty simple and straightforward class though.

I really want a huge fan of this class. I didn't feel that the lecture was very relevant to what we were learning. If participation wasn't graded so heavily I probably wouldn't show up. She was often very unclear about she wanted with assignments and would change due dates around all the time, that tripped me up a lot.

Bonnie is the most "real" professor I have ever had. She is open and honest and applies class concepts to life. She is not politically correct, so if you are easily offended she may not be the professor for you. Bonnie is a fantastic lecturer and gives light homework via weekly writings. The final is from textbook concepts, not lecture notes.

Bonnie is down to earth and very kind. She wants you to do well in her class. There is a one page summary of an article due on each chapter. If you read the book, come to class for the quizzes and study for the final you will do fine. I enjoyed her stories, humor, and thoughts. I hope to take another class from her.

Bonnie Davis is an amazing professor. She is passionate about the subjects she teaches. Her tests are easy if you do the reading; they're taken right out of the book. Text book is an incredibly easy read. Show up to class and participate! Definitely would recommend.

Bonnie's class was something I looked forward to. She treats her students with respect and understanding, and explains the material well with good examples. Just make sure to show up, because she takes roll kind of randomly, and you never know when you can miss. Assignments are simple, and the book is easy to understand.

I took Bonnie my first semester of college and was undoubtedly greeted with the best Professor I've had thus far. I'm writing this as a sophomore due to how much I miss Bonnie's class. Bonnie made very nuanced subjects into easily understandable concepts; do yourself a favor and take Prof. Davis, as we don't have the luxury at SLCC anymore ;(.

She borderlines on rude then defends herself saying, "I'm not saying that! I'm just letting you know what 'they' are thinking," so she gets away with saying a lot. Her tests and quizzes are the biggest problem. Often times there will be multiple answers that describe what you're asking but she only wants one. You teach yourself in this class.

I really enjoyed taking this class from Bonnie. She is really funny, and isn't afraid to joke around and make fun of the class. She was good at talking about both sides of issues and not only focusing on one point of view. You definitely need to read. The quizzes are super easy, but since they're so easy they don't prepare you for the tests!

I really liked this class--a lot of the information can be pretty intuitive, at least for me, so it wasn't super hard. If you read the textbook you do really well on her tests--all in class and no open notes. There was one group presentation which was my least favorite, but other than that there was minimal work. Bonnie is awesome!

Bonnie is absolutely amazing! I loved going to class, she involved all the student and listened to our opinions. She very real, passionate about the topics and down to earth. I didn't get the best grade because I didn't do as much reading as I should have and I had a hard time memorizing all the terms. Would still 100% take this class again.

I have learned a lot and her quizzes and exams aren't that hard. Studying doesn't take a lot of time. She does give examples and make jokes that can be taken very rudely and she tries to cover it up by saying that's what society thinks. She will also go on rants that last a very long time on things that aren't exactly on topic.

Bonnie is an awesome person, but not the best professor. She refuses to curve the grade and she doesn't believe in giving 100% even if you did your best work and she can't find anything wrong with it. I was 12 points away from an A, and she refused to add on to my participation grade.

Professor Davis is one of those teachers you either love or hate. I personally loved the class and was actually excited to come in every lecture. Attendance in mandatory and she asks for participation, but it's actually really interesting topics and the professor is very knowledgeable. She's funny and makes class super interesting every lecture.

Professor Bonnie is interesting but not great. She's bold which is good, but doesn't let students look over exams after they are taken. Popquizes are random and some midterm questions repeat on the final. Compared to other UVU profs, she's not as great.

I absolutely loved this class, Bonnie is amazing! I loved coming to class. She doesn't really lecture, it's more of a discussion which made it enjoyable. There are 7 quizzes, but she always let us know when they were going to be and reviewed most of the info before we took them. Aside from that no h/w. just read the textbook and you'll be fine!

Always would apply what we were learning to us specifically in class. Shes super blunt and is not afraid to call you out, but it was a very safe and fun environment. Work is not challenging- not much homework. Attendance is only important because of pop quizes.

My favorite class! Bonnie lectures the entire period, but wants to have good discussions. Very few assignments, so you need to do well on papers/quizzes because you won't be able to get points other ways. Make sure to participate in class and you'll do well. You won't be allowed to use electronics during class, so make sure to take notes on paper!

She is not professional and somehow gets away with saying some really offensive stuff because it's "what society says." no rubric for assignments. So you are going in blind and hopefully, you do it just as she likes. Never tells you when quizzes are. study guides for the test are not helpful. She makes the class harder than it needs to be.

I didn't love this course as much as the other ones I've taken. Bonnie said some pretty offensive things throughout her class but brushed it off as if she didn't actually believe what she said. She let some students walk all over the others with their very close minded and demeaning ideas. Her quizzes were annoying, & her tests were unpredictable.
