hey gurl u da bomb! dis is frum all the people who got what u were trying to say

U go gurl! I miss ur teaching!

U rock! don't let the dumb kids tell u other wise!

very clear and she knew her stuff

nice,fair, mom-like teacher, but assignments take forever

Such an awesome instructor!

LOVE this teacher. It does not matter how difficult she was. The harder she was, the better the teacher I think. I will not be taking pysch at this school with anyone else!!

Took her class @ Douglas during summer, nice & helpful. When studying pay more attention to the text than her lectures. Responds fast to emails.

She was great. As long as you put in at least a half-assed effort, you should be fine.

If you don't study for the exams you're in trouble. If she tells you the exam is easy don't believe her and study hard. She is a good teacher but others may be easier for the GPA.

Ok marker on tests, but she makes it virtually impossible to do well on assignments and gives questions she hasn't explained and expects you to work it out on your own!

one of my fave teachers..! she is really nice on class.. she shares the class some of her own stories as an example for the topic. (good stories of course that will keep you glued on ur seat).. reccomended..!

You cant slack.. If you didnt like her its becuase you slacked the entire time you were in her class

She is the prof who made me switch over to being a Psyc major!! Her tests aren't that bad if you pay attention to what she emphasizes in lecture. You get out of the course what you put in. She's a great prof to prepare students for upper level classes. I graduate after this semester...trust me!

Amazing teacher. Recomended but not to any one who slacks off

If you like home ec. teachers, you'll like her. She's totally friendly and nice. Just make sure you're on her good side.

LOVED HER!! She is tough but if you work hard she rewards you for your effort. She will help you so much and even give you HUGE hints about the midterm and final. She is an AMAZING teacher. VERY inspiring.

funny teacher and uses real life examples. very hospitable. a real "mother hen"! willing to help, especially with group projects. fair marker.wish she taught psyc 301 at sfu instead. she'd be great and i probably wouldn't have failed!

I liked her quite a bit. She tries to make the material as easy to understand as possible, which might be interpreted as "talking down" to the class. That said, she's interesting, fun, friendly and quite smart. I'd highly recommend her classes.

A great teacher; she gives good notes and often uses a hands-on approach to her teaching, which is fun and interesting. She marks the open ended part of exams REALLY HARD, so study a lot. She is also very helpful if you go see her outside of class time. Overall, a very good teacher!

I thought Cara was a great prof. Yes the material may be hard for many to grasp, and perhaps she is a tough marker on assignments, but she explains concepts well and I think that she generally does a good job. You must attend nearly every class if you want to not get confused on the material!

good prof, hard to get a hold of.

I have never had problems with her talking down to kids in class, however, she doesn't encourage much class discussion and does contradict everything you say. She was very hard to get a hold off for research proposals as she never answers her emails and is rarely at the school. (2 days a week think?)

I really enjoyed Cara for Research Methods! She can be a bit moody at times, but she was always organized in her lectures and taught at a good pace. The textbooks are pretty useless, but skim them for multiple choice test questions. Otherwise the tests are based on her notes! Really not a bad class, and not as tough as I thought it would be!

I had Cara at Douglas College and I must say she is a funny person. Of course there will be people who do not get her sense of humor but she is a great caring teacher. I did find at times however she could be a bit moody and the whole my way or the highway type senario but thats minor...I think she has something to add to the field of psychology.

Very orgnized and clear. I can see why people say she's moody sometimes, but at least she was trying to control it. Lots of homework!But it's a good idea to do it cuz it can help you to practice.

shes the best she explains everything so clearly. i can see why some people say shes hard marker but if you do the work it shouldn't be too bad !. she makes everything easy to understand and guides you through every step

A lot of people talk a lot of smack on her, and I guess I get it, but Cara is a fantastic teacher if you pay attention and put in your best effort. Stuff's hard, but it's good to have it drilled in your head. She doesn't just hand out grades.

Really good teacher; at the beginning I thought it would be a boring class to attend, but Cara was very helpful and clear about the course material. If you do what is required of you - you will get a good mark. Class is not difficult, although there will be no point in asking for assistance outside of class, since she won't be very helpful.

Cara is a great prof. The course requires lots of work but she is very clear on what she wants. Exams are lengthy but if you put in the effort of studying the textbook and reviewing her lecture notes, you can do well. Just try to be as detailed as possible since she is a critical marker.

Cara is incredibly sweet and her explanations during class are great. She makes time for out of class tutorials that should definitely be taken advantage of! The work she expects is detail oriented, as long as you follow the instructions you'll be fine. She always has fun stories to share and provides great opportunities for students in the field.

Had Cara for both Reserach Methods and Stats. If you work hard you'll be rewarded. As to her "approachability", you just need to abide by her office hours. She has made tons of time for me and done many things to help me that she didn't need to (she even got me a psych related job and helped me with scholarships applications). Very sweet person.

Cara really cares about her students. Her test cover almost everything so study it all. By far one of the most caring teachers ever! Class was taken Fall 2011.

I had Cara for both 213 and 212. They were tough classes and the textbooks were not as helpful as I was hoping, but if you need help, Cara will always help you to the best she can. She definitely challenges you and makes you work hard!

I had her for psych 100 and she was amazing. Took my paper to her and she gave me great critics and ways to improve. Always willing to help you out and answer questions. Class was engaging, text book however was extremely dull.

I took her 212 and 213 a few years ago. Cara is tough and makes students work, but it's worth it. I learned so much!

Before I take this course, I read quite a lot bout her and many people had given low rating or average. I believe she is accurate but not tough,which it is the nature of statistics. I learned quite a lot from CARA although the course is confusing at some points. I think she was great but statistics is not easy if you are not interested in Math.

Sweet woman, humor is hit or miss.
