Really energetic, she makes class interesting

Not very clear about what is on the exams, but very helpful if you seek her out.....obsessed w/Freud

Her first time teaching this course, and she's doing a good job. Makes the material very easy, and fun; this isn't as dry as some other stats courses. Hard maker though, but even so I'd take her again.

Great prof, funny, interesting. Has a few too many "inappropriate self-disclosures" and is obsessed with Jeopardy! Hard marker though.

Excellent teacher! Obsessed with Freud and Simpsons! Helpful, clear, funny and energenic! highly recommend her! Its a hard class due to course load, but she makes it fun! and she is very helpful and answers any and all questions! shes great!

She has crazy amounts of energy and talks a mile a minute. She's a really cool lady that loves TV more than anything it seems. The class is really heavy with workload regards, but other than that enjoyable. I recommend takin' it twice a week for an hour and a half each, very manageable... :)

A very interesting person, good teaching style

She is a good tutour! She is helpful, but wow she is hard! However, her notes are a bit hard, but study hard you do good, however, I studied my ass of still ended up with a C-, I suck at psychology, hard subject! Great lady!

Lectures are clear, informative and interspersed with entertaining anecdotes. Little class discussion, but I wasn't bored by her monologue and nor do I find most lower-level courses conducive to stimulating student dialogue. She is very, very knowledgable. Fair to easy marker.

She is CRAZY! But I love her! She has an obession with jeopardy, freud, simpsons, and shopping. Her little stories are great after focusing on psychology for an hour. Great teacher, I totally recommend her!

class is awsome! a 3hr class tends to take a long time, but this one's fun b/c of all her stories, and she's so full of energy. 2 smoke breaks help too! She's a fair marker... note to anyone... if she says to buy the course study guide BUY IT AND STUDY IT!!! multiple choice ?s are based on it.

Kind of crazy! Uses a lot of TV references to clarify material. I don't even watch The Simpsons, but find the examples do really help learn the material. DO NOT MISS HER CLASS!!You'll miss questions on the exam and the handouts won't make sense. Learn the handouts and the text and you'll do fine.

Dr. Taylor is an awesome teacher. Although her tests are hard, she's fair and tells you exactly what will be on them. Take her hints seriously. Makes class interesting and is very approachable. If you're a slacker, don't take her class.

Best teacher ever

she's crazy/random with her lectures but she makes it interesting. she is very clear and makes course material easy to understand. good class!

she is fabulous. her class is very interesting and her "inappropriate self disclosures" and such make the lectures much easier to pay attention to. making a definite point to take 102 with her. great sense of humour and very fun class.

She was great! She always had amazing accessories and one reason I always came to class was to see what she was wearing that day. Her lectures are interesting and the "self disclosures" add to it.

I don't know. Yeah... she was funny and went off on rants. but i didn't sign up for a girl's night out class. It was SO distracting that when she actaully talked psych i wasn't aware and that made the class harder. Her lecture notes are insanely hard to follow. Her fill in the blank is brutal. Don't get caught by her rants and you'll be fine.

The professor to take if you are ADD!!! Seriously, not a single moment did my attention wander. Hard marker, high standards, but this is upper level, it should be that way.

Really great teaching style. Fun to listen to, funny, always wearing something crazy and cute. When she says memorize the papers she hands out, DO IT! If you want an A, you will have to work your butt off, but shes fair in her marking and clear in expectations

Gee Willikers! You will hear her say this a lot... her classes are frought with witty banter and even random off topic rants, but I whole heartedly recommend this professor. Attendance is mandatory because her notes are not FROM the text, even though she has used the text to guide her lectures. You MUST study for her exams.

Contrary to what others have said, she is not an impossible teacher. You DO have to study HARD for exams and you DO have to attend all classes. She is clear on what she wants and even gives hints about her exams. My one complaint was that our final paper was due the last day of class and so we had no clue of what her grading style for writing was.

Dr T is amazing. Her classes are interesting and she shares alot of random facts (jeopardy!) and funny associations (inappropriate self-disclosures!). Memorize the notes she hands out and the experiments and examples she gives because they WILL be on the exams. Will edit papers before due date. Overall, tough but fair.

You cannot be prepared for a test, it is not possible. Make a slide show please! The overhead is dead and makes learning so much easier.

Dr. Taylor is loud. rude. has a very unique voice. and makies many innappropriate self-disclosures. but over all, i liked her and would take a class with her again. she is so out there, she makes boring stuff more interesting. there is 3 tests & 1 paper to write for the class. all the written materian on tests are from lectures, so attend.

Love Jeopardy, and TV in general and will make many inappropriate self-disclosures during the course of the semester. I had to do it as a prereq so wasn't very interested but she is very funny.

Candace Taylor is a good teacher. She can be inappropriate, which in my opinion make the class far more interesting. She read off a few reviews of herself from this site, which I thought was pretty funny. Overall, just study for exams and pay attention. She's psycho, but it's awesome.

it seems like most people who dont like her come to this site to comment. i really liked her! shes a good teacher, although its a lot of notes its not boring at all. she explains thing pretty well, and shes funny, i would deffinately take her again!

Dr Taylor was a great professor. I had her for 101 and 102. If you pay attention and take notes from what she says and not just the overhead it makes a big difference. Study what she says and yes she does teach her opinion but she always states when it is Her opinion. She is very approachable and willing to help her students.

My favourite teacher.. I had her for two classes. If you're going to take a three hour psych class, take it with Dr. Taylor... never a dull moment!I also found her tests very fair, you must study her notes and the text equally

Dr. Taylor is lovely! I imagine her thoughts are rarely uninteresting; she's unique, energetic, engaging and "Gee willikers!" she's brilliant. She loves Freud, which is always fascinating. Her teaching style reflects her personality in many ways. Seriously people, this is university! Do what she says and STUDY HARD, and you will do well.

If you are not good at writing exams and tests AVOID this class. There are 2 midterms and 1 final worth 96% all together.

Dr. Taylor is a great teacher, in my opinion. She has a great sense of humour, and her notes are very helpful. Take this class with her if you get the chance. I only wish she was teaching 102 this semester.

I love her she was funny and class was always intresting but, yes her notes were not the easiest to always read but if you pay attention and go to class then you probably will do great!

Dr. Taylor is one of my favourite professors at UFV. I took both 101 and 102 with her, and her classes helped me decide to choose psyc as a major. You need to take your own notes (not what's on the overhead), but her classes, along with the many "inappropriate self disclosures" are always a blast!

Dr.T is a lot of fun, her stories and side rants are always entertaining, she knows what she's talking about and if you have a question she will answer it clearly. Sure her notes are messy, but just pay attention, read the assigned text, and you'll be fine :)

Dr. Taylor is an excellent prof. She is a fascinating person, and she uses very interesting personal analogies to explain concepts. It is very possible to do well in her course. Pay attention in class, read and study the textbook and the class notes, and focus on the concepts she identifies. Challenging, but I learned a lot and got a great grade!

I enjoyed this class despite my mark. I would totally recommend Dr. Taylor to anyone. You do have to work hard in the class but she is willing to give you some easy bonus marks and class is always a hoot! She has such funny stories to tell and I am even taking another class with her. She is great.

Dr. Taylor is a good teacher and is quite approachable and loves questions that are short or long. Her writing is a bit difficult to read sometimes on the old projector, but she said she would work on her penmanship this summer! She teaches from the book and facts are a big thing. This course requires lots of studying from her notes AND the book.

Be prepared for lots of "inappropriate self disclosures". She still uses an old school projector for her lectures but she is pretty clear on what the class needs to know. keeps everyone engaged. VERY funny. i would definitely take another class with her. bring peanut M&Ms to the first class to get on her good side

Taylor's crazy, but so great. Everything's on the projector so you HAVE to attend class, but she's funny and the topics are interesting anyway. It's sometimes hard to understand her as she speaks so quickly, but by exam day she makes sure you know what to expect. Multiple choice is based off the text so definitely read through the chapters.

Three exams, no paper, read the text and show up to pass. Easy.

Candace is a breath of fresh air. She is rare in that she is "real" - she shares personal stories and is relatable. She's also very funny and knowledgable. Some of the test content seems irrelevant, and she uses an overhead projector and writes the notes for the class the entire time, but overall she's an engaging and kind teacher. Very worthwhile!

Candace Taylor is an absolute hoot. She makes learning fun by incorporating personal stories and inserting jokes into her lectures when student interest starts dropping. While she can be a hard marker, and her courses heavily rely on textbook use, Candace Taylor's courses best prepare 1st year students for whats to come for future courses.

Dr. Taylor is a great prof and has an abundance of knowledge about psychology. My only complaint about Dr. Taylor is her teaching method. Personally I felt it would be easier for her to just make PowerPoint slides and teach of those but that's just my opinion. Overall she was great and I would recommend her. Take notes in class! 3 exams no papers!

She is great professor, but old fashion. She doesn't use any power point. You shoud be ready for a lot of writing. If you follow her lecture, you should be fine. Her exams are from her lectures. No papers at all. Only 3 exams.

Your mark is based on 3 exams worth 30%, and participation. Get tutoring for extra credit. Read the textbook, and be at class, as all her notes are written on an overhead projector. The exams are non-cumulative, and she gives good hints as to what will be on them. She talks nonstop and very fast though, so might take some getting used to. lol.

She was honestly a great prof. Super quirky but I had no issues getting a good grade in her class. If you go to class and take good notes and read the text you should have no issues getting a good mark. Make sure you read the text though!

Very funny and quirky prof! You need to attend class to get the notes and understand the key things that will be on the exams. She provides handouts for each subject which helps narrow your focus for studying. However, in order to understand notes, you must be in class. She definitely made the 3 hour lectures interesting with jokes and stories

She is very underrated. Her lectures are long, but she makes them entertaining. There are 3 exams totalling 96% of your grade and 4% participation. If you're good at studying you'll do amazing in this class. She tells you what is going to be on the exam which makes the course so much easier. If you attend every class you will get a good grade.

I was confused when Candace started her psychology class with the nuclear bombings. No, Im not talking about Hiroshima - Im talking about the reading load expectations for a first year class. It caused widespread devastation to my semester. However, she does prepare you for the tests. Make sure you read the textbook.

most reviews here are the baby 101s (as Dr. T calls them) complaining so I hope to offer some upper level insight. Yes! She is a bit old fashioned lecture wise but if you attend her lectures, read the book, take coherent notes, you will do well. Hard to believe if you attend class and actually do work behind it you'd do well, eh?

Candace is a very unique and engaging prof. However, for psych 102, 90% of your grade relies on three exams. The exams were a lot more difficult than I anticipated and requires lots of studying of the class notes, hand outs, and the textbook. Though the class was a lot more difficult than I expected, I definitely learned a lot in this class.

Great lectures. She makes her lectures easy to understand with awesome examples. She's charismatic too, which makes listening to her super easy and fun. Tests. If you pay attention to what's being said in class and read the lecture material (which is captivating), then you'll do fine. dope prof. 10/10 would take again

almost all of class time is spent copying notes that she writes on a projector.. so if you take good (and CLEAR!) notes and don't mind learning that way you'll do just fine in this class. not the most exciting class but she is quite funny and has interesting stories to share. also important to note: most of your grade depends on 3 major exams!

Taylor is very funny and tells you exactly what is on the three test that are worth 32% of the class. If you dont like taking note, this class isnt for you. She writes on the board and if you arent there, you cant access them. I used the textbooks a few time.

Dr. Taylor is definitely on the tougher end of the spectrum in terms of expectations, but she has turned out to be my favourite prof at UFV no matter what grade I will end up with. Her expectations are clear and she is very knowledgeable in the material. Her personality is one of those strict-ish but still sweet attitudes, and also she is hilarious

Interesting prof. I really did not like her at first but she kind of grows on you. She will use the full 3-hours, and hand-writes her notes (they are not posted anywhere). Her exams are based entirely off of the notes. You have to write a 15 page paper, which she will butcher. I typically get As on my papers, but I got a C. Lucky I took good notes.

I loved having Dr. Taylor as a teacher. She was funny, and kept the class engaged. Her stories were comical and I enjoyed them very much. I look forward to taking a class with her again. Her outfits are also pretty cute :) I know she reads these reviews, so if you see this, thank you! Loved your class

Professor taylor is super quirky but puts so much effort and time into her lectures/material she teaches. She hand writes all her lectures, but if you are taking notes and paying attention to what she says during her lectures, as well as reading the assigned chapters you will do fine. the exams consist of both textbook and her notes/lectures.

She gives some chances to get extra marks (big 5, ect). Most marks for the class is her main 3 exams. The test is 50/50 lecture and textbook. She responds quick to emails and will always help out with questions. The lectures are all written on the board. You get breaks evenly throughout, the rest is note taking. READ the textbook and youll be ok :)

This was a great class. Don't get me wrong, it is very test heavy but I loved this class. She's an amazing lecturer and the 3hrs flies by. She gives two 10min breaks for the class and is very approachable. This was a hard class and a big paper but I'd 100% recommend.
