She is VERY easy. The class before each exam she will give you a study guide for whatever is on the exam. The only thing is that you have to study, but she tells you exactly what's on the exam. I am not a good test taker but i got A's on all of her tests. TAKE HER CLASS FOR AN EASY A.
she is a really great teacher. her work is easy and not only that but she is very nice and helpful and always gives study guides before tests so if u weren't paying attention throughout the classes even if u study a day before the exam u can manage to get A's like i did
Honestly a very great teacher. Never counted attendence. Will always give you a study guide b/f the test, all the questions on the study quide are basically on the test. Her powerpoint notes are on the web if you miss class. Easiest class i have taken. Also very nice lady. TAKE HER IF YOU WANT AN A!
she is so sweet, funny and cool. she is very understanding and has an honest concern for her students and their well being. her class is very fun and is something to look forward too.
She is very nice.Her classes r fun,She gives study guides.If you really read the book and know the content,u shouldn't have any problem. Tests r all multiple choices with extra credit questions.She in not strict,She is flexible,very very kind.Read the book,know the content get an A.I recommend her.
Great teacher! She is very easy to work with and she's very kind. All notes in class are power-point and she keeps them on-line for you all semester (you can go in and look at the notes for two-weeks out). There are also study guides for every test. No surprises in this class. Highly recommended!
As in most classes, you MUST study after class, and read the chapters, there is pretty much no way around that. She is a teacher who makes class fun. She is very warm and caring. She will make your heart smile!
I recently completed her "condensed learning" course. She's well-organised. You'll learn all the material and pass with flying colors if you take notes and read the book. She makes proper tests - multiple choice for my session. I'm certain I got an A - and enjoyed the class, to boot! Very nice
she is the sweetest professor ever..her class is easy and the tests are really easy..one can easily get an "A" in her class..highly recommend anyone to take her :)
She is probably by far my favorite professor I have had yet. Such a sweet women! Very friendly. Her class can be boring, but she is easy! She is very organized and gives you review sheets/practive tests before exams. It helps alot! Tests aren't so bad either!
She is sooo sweet and nice. Her class was easy, she did the lecture but handed out print out of her slideshow. Her lecture was not boring cuz she was funny and I'm going to miss taking her class every morning.
She is real good teacher a got low scores on my tests but I read the chapter and notes for the last exam and she gave me a B which is more than what I wished for. Do the bonus it will help you a lot
Good quality teacher, took her for both PSY 201 & 202. Would recommend her highly. Pay attention in class, read handouts and tests are fair.
Great teacher, would recommend her to everyone taking psychology. Im on my second semester and will take her next semester too.
Very nice teacher, makes funny jokes, and she likes to interact with the class. Definitely recommend her :)
my favorite teacher ever. really cool lady. n she gives us muffin from starbucks. man i love her. keep on da good work prof.
Great teacher Easy to learn Easy materials Gives study guild before tests Drops lowest exam Easy A
GREAT teacher! i love her, my favorite. take this class, she teaches it so well. goes over everything in detail and answers all questions, even if it is taking up her time. i recommended her to everyone. DR. VANEVERY..... you are the best teacher i have ever had. i learned so much about myself....THANK YOU!
I agree COMPLETELY with the person below me. I liked her so much in 201, that I took her for 202. Best teacher at NOVA! I loved her!!! TAKE HER!!! Not only is she the nicest/kindest teacher, but her teaching style is very understanding and helpful to everyone!
the COOLEST PROF EVER!!! TAKE HER! u wont go wrong! answers your questions, very helpful and laid back! gives study guides before exams!! just AWESOME!
Great professor, she is so interesting and so is her class. She's sweet and kind, won't make you feel stupid if you ask a dumb question(which many students do at times). Her class is awsome-learn so much. She's totally one of the best professors here.
she is very clear on the topics she goes over and she tries to axplain pretty much all the quesstions the students ask her, giving real life examples from her family.
BEST Teacher ever! She is very easy to understand and makes sure that you understand it youself! You are introduced to the subjects in the chapter that you are studying more then one time so when you take the test you really don't have any ?'s!
she is the best teacher ever!! an easy A
HOT! HOT! HOT!!! SHE IS SOOOOOOO EASY AND SOOOO HELPFUL! I HAVE HER AS MY FACUILTY ADVISOR TOO! SHE ROCKS MY WORLD!!!! TAKE HER IF U CAN!!! EASY SUMMER A!
Wut can I say!! She is one GREAT teacher. She is very understanding, her lectures are interesting, and she is very nice. She loves her job and her students. She tries to make class easy for her and the students. I would advise EVERYONE to take her class because she is a nice teacher, and you can only fail if you just don't take the tests.
very interesting and nice teacher..helped every student as much as she can as far as asking questions and understanding the material
She is awesome! One of the best teachers I have ever had, her use of examples throughout the course help you alot when it comes time to studying and taking quizzes. When you get the study guide, write down as much information as possible, and try to relate it to your own life. As abstract as it may sound it works.
best teacher. so interesting. very easy to get a good grade! take her!
A very solid professor, probably the only PSY professor at the Annandale campus that knows how to teach and to relate to students.
Superb prof. She enjoys her job and it shows. She explains subjects extremely well and makes class interesting. Exams were take home, were easy if you took the time to do them correctly, believe it or not, there were failures! Highly recommend her.
Great teacher, easy subject. You'll learn alot. All the tests were take home, there were online quizzes due the same time of the tests. Didn't use the book much. If you listened in class and printed out the lecture notes, Easy A.
I LOVE HER!!! she's such a sweetheart and she's really understanding. she's a great teacher and you learn a lot from the class. all the notes are online so you can print them out and follow along during class. the tests are take home but you have to focus to get a good grade. take her if you want an interesting class.
6 take home tests and 6 online quizzes that you can retake. Each class is a powerpoint lecture. She is very kind and understanding. There was one extra credit oppertunity and the class is incredibly easy. I liked her although occasionally I was bored.
GOOD TEACHER!! would take her again anytime for fun. EASY test.
the best teacher ever & easy class if you study :) definately take her again if I needed another class she teaches!
She's the cutest woman ever... such a sweetheart and very understanding. I love the class because she gives you alot of personal examples. All the quizes and tests are at home. You can tell she loves her job =)!
loved her classs!! as long as you study her study guides/book class will be piece of cake!!
I really, really liked her. All of her exams are take home, although they are long, difficult, and they take hours to complete. We have several online quizzes, but you can re-take them if you don't do well. The best psych teacher by far!!!!!!
Take her. Loved going 2 her class, not only it was easy but I actually learned a lot from her. I just wish I had taken her before. I had a B for my last human development class & I hated it. But with her I got an easy A & I enjoyed the class. All exams were take-home & i had to do a research paper. She gives u plenty of time to do it so no biggie.
Loved her. She is the nicest person in the world. I didn't come to every class cause it was too early, but she still passed me with a B! Her take home exams are right off the book but it can take hours. You have to read the whole chapter, word for word. But she is an awesome teacher!
She is nice as anything... very fun class. The only thing that could use improvement is her mispronunciation of SEVERAL words. Other than that, she was fun and sweet.
really good teacher. very easy to pay attention because she loves what she teaches. tests are all multiple choice, but some of the questions are worded weird and are hard to fall. i got mostly B's on the tests, but somehow ended up with an A
I LOVE HER! She makes class really fun because when she's explaining something she connects it to personal experiences and it makes more sense. I love going to her class because it's interesting and she actually interacts with the students instead of going on and on with lecture. I wish all my classes were like this. I highly recommend her! =)
I took her for 201 & 202, easiest A ever! Plus she's really understanding and super nice. EVERYTHING is either open book or online. TAKE HER FOR PSYCHOLOGY!!!
She is a very nice and easy teacher to understand. We take lecture notes throught ppt and her own info. I enjoyed the fact that we had take home tests. You will not regret taking her.
why can't other professors be like this one. Seriously you would learn and enjoy her class. Very nice, helpful and understandable. Need to take a psych. course take it with her you will see what i mean really :)
The best teacher at NOVA! If you don't take her class you are stupid. Not only is her class pretty easy, she is real with her students. Class has a relaxed environment where we can talk about any subject matter. She is an amazing teacher who makes a difficult class easy just by the way she teaches. Just know that you have to read alot! A+!
She is the best professor that NOVA has to offer. Why can't all professors be like her. If you actually want to learn something and have fun in class, I highly recommend her.
Great teacher. Just look at her score and the other comments on this board. Everyone is exactly right. If you get a bad grade in her class, there's something wrong with you.
I wish every teacher was like her! she is such a fun and loving person that cares about her students. Her exams are take home and no final!
Her teaching style enabled me to learn and retain the material more effeciently than ever before. I wish all professors would teach with her style.
7 or so take-home tests so book is a must! 7 or so online multiple choice quizzez (15 questions). Lectures off of PP which is available online (print off and take notes?). Easy A if you show up to class, DO THE QUIZZES, and turn tests in due date. Had the most fun in her class and still learned a lot. 100%ely RECOMMEND!!
Easy A! I recommend to read the chapter in advance so you dont have to cram when the take home test is due. She is highly recommended!
Really Good Professor. Read the chapters and you'll do good on the tests. I took her over the summer and the tests were take-home. Has online quizzed also so easy A. Teaching style excellent and very energetic professor!
If you really want to learn about Psychology, take Mrs.VanEvery! She explains very well and is very helpful.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!! I HAVE NEVER ENJOYED GOING TO ANY OF MY CLASSES EXCEPT THIS ONE. SHE'S VERY ENERGETIC AND SWEET, SHE DEFINENTLY KNOWS HER STUFF AND TEACHES U ALOT WITHOUT BORING U TO DEATH..LOVED THIS LADY AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO EVERYONE.
She is definitely a positive-good vibe kind of person!!! She is a good teacher, but is an even better person. <<< Mrs V., is true what you told me that negative ppl will only suck the life out of you, and turn you in to this sad, bitter person. I took your advice. T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U-! >>>>>
WONDERFUL teacher! Has lots of enery. Really enjoyed her class. Read your chapters and her open book/notes tests are easy. You have to write an essay for each chap test but she makes the topics interesting, so they're not too bad. I wouldn't say her class is an EASY A, but it's not hard to get an A in her class.
Easy A. The tests are open book as well as the quizes that you take at home. If you don't read the chapter the tests can be a little tricky because the questions come directly from the chapter, but if you read over it some and get the idea youll be fine. Def recommend.
Dr. VanEvery is a great teacher. Her test can be tricky if you don't read the book. All of her exams are open book/take home. The essays were take home. Easy A! She is strict on attendance. Take her class!!
Really great teacher deserving of all the respect in the world. Make sure to read the chapters so you do well on the test.
Awesome teacher, very positive, her class is an easy A, along with her tests that are OPEN book and her QUIZ online all to easy!
Dr. VanEvery is a great professor with rich experiance. Her class is fun and good learning class. She is very respectful and attentive. If you have to take Psycology, please take her class. You will enjoy it.
very easy class!! must take it. she is a nice teacher. all of her tests are open book. she makes things easy to understand..why cant all teachers be like her?
Dr. V is energetic, looks great for her age, very adorable lil blondy, she carries out her materials clearly,concisely. NEGATIVES: very few multiple choice questions so if you get one wrong, you know what happens, other than that, she is quite a 9/10 rating to me. she also connects with students by sharing personal stories of her own. TOOO ENERGETI
Allowed to use text book on exams and quizzes. Very nice and approachable teacher, class goes by quickly not too boring.
BEST TEACHER EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
I got a bad grade from this teacher. Quizzes are easy but the tests are hard. Will never take her again. Very boring class. plus whats with all the "hot" ratings for this teacher?!!? seriously.... im not even gonna comment further about that
She's amazing! Love her! So funny and witty. All her tests were open book and super easy! I'm taking her again for another psych class. She's super helpful too if you take the time to talk with her. I would highly recommend her if you like psychology. She makes it relatable and fun!
Nice teacher with alot of energy. Test and quiz are open book. Attendence isnt mandatory i've seen ppl just show up for the test only, just dont show up 10 minutes before class is about to be over just to sign in thats just stupid. Show up for class and do all the test and quiz and you'll get atleast a B
i wish she was teaching other psychology classes as well. i took her for psy 201, 202 and 232. she is great at teaching. open book and take home tests. an easy A class. she helps her students and is very easy to talk to.
she is a great teacher! her lectures are actually very interesting. this is the first time i can say i actually learned anything about psy. open book and open note tests. quizzes are online so open book and open note again. the only actually work is the final.
Very helpful, interesting, energetic, intellectual teacher. Makes PSY fun. Open book open note tests. Essays with every test but you do those before the test. Highly recommended! Got an A in her class.
Amazing! Test and quizzes are open book, test are mutiple choice but not easy can be tricky sometimes. Recommend to read the chapter before the test or at least highlight the bold words in the chapter. Thought psychology would be boring but learned new stuff and never knew that psychology was linked to so many things.
EASIEST CLASS EVER!! take this class - open note/book exams like 5 or 6? buy the book if you dont take good notes because its open book everything. no homework. online quizzes that you can take twice open book. she doesn't care if you show up like 10 ppl would show up the last 15 min to sign the sheet and it counts! super nice lady too funny & cool
She's the BEST professor I've ever had at NOVA!!All tests are open book,she's VERY helpful if you email her/ask questions in class,interesting topics & she relates everything to her life.I took psy 201 and 202 with her, I LOVED every minute of it!!Never did a single essay in 202,final grade was a B!Attendance taken at end of class. DONT HESITATE!!
Prof. VanEvery, is the best teacher I've had in ages! She is so patient with you. Not only does she make the subject matter interesting, but entertaining with her family stories and jokes. I struggled by missing some online quizes, she understood and took the time to help me be a better student! Just read. She's awesome! Take her class! No regrets!
Excellent Professor. Easy A.
Best teacher I've ever had in my life! so helpful and always give good example from her own life. I would arrange my entire college schedule just to be in her class. Take her!
Attendance is only partially mandatory. You're allowed to miss 10 classes before it affects your grade! And she takes attendance at the end. All tests are open book, even the final (which is also not cumulative) as long as you remember your online quizzes, you'll get an a. i missed most and got a C :(. PS no chili pepper here. sorry mrs v
I love her. Pros, she is informative, respectful, fun, positive, and realistic. Cons, she has none.
Her class is fun,organized, and helpful. Her lecture is never boring and she is clear on what she wants from you. Tests and quizes are all open book¬e so if you put a least effort, you'll pass. But if you really want to learn, read the text book. I enjoyed every lectures she instructed. Take her!
She is awesome! So easy and fun. The tests are open book. I Just went through the textbook and highlighted important things in the chapter and the test would be super easy! she drops your lowest test grade. TAKE HER!
No cumulative tests which are open-book. Chapter quizzes are open-book. Tests are kind of hard, but you'll get the hang of them. I definitely recommend her.
Great teacher. Open book for quizzes and tests! You will learn a lot.
Best professor I've had all semester. As long as you're in class and take some notes, take the quizzes, and bring your book with you to exam days you'll get an A. Really understanding and genuine person, and makes lectures more interesting by adding her own personal stories to the subject we're learning. Would definitely recommend!
She gives lectures every class straight from the book, very easy to learn and follow along. She shares personal stories, which keeps it interesting. All exams are OPEN BOOK :) which helped me get an A. She is a very good teacher and you will learn a lot! Take her
Amazing!!! Great teacher! If you want an easy A take her for sure! Open book test and quizzes. Long lectures but very interesting.
Great teacher! wants you to pass!!
