Her class is set up in a very straight forward way-she expects that you read the textbook and show up for class, if you don't you suffer the consequences. I find her pretty inspirational, she honestly wants you to do well and has a good sense of humor. Also, she is a very cooperative morning person, so don't be scared to have her at 7:30-she's goo

One of the nicest and most helpful professors I've ever taken. Her class is very straight forward you need to take notes everyday but she goes slow and they are very easy. Overall a really easy class if you come everyday and study for the 2 exams. I recommend her she really cares that her students do well and is more then willing to help fun class

she is very strict on attendance and is misleading in which she made it sound like you could be excused from an absence (if there was snow/if youre extremely sick) by sending evidence (pictures/doctors note) but regardless of any evidence, she will deduct points.

Skip class? You won't pass.

I honestly loved this class and Ms. Anderson. She super nice and down to earth to help you learn. I see people complaining about how the class is boring, and the reason they said that is because they didnt participate in discussions. 3 tests (in class), 1 weekly quiz (timed on canvas). Attendance is mandatory.

She is super nice and genuine. Her lectures are super straight forward and I had such an easy time in her class. If you don't care about psych and just wanna get a grade, you'll have a hard time. If you just care little, you'll definitely pass. She's literally so easy, if you are having a hard time, you probably are not paying attention in class.

Honestly the best professor I've had so far at Bellevue college. Anderson clearly cares about her students, she is funny, she makes psychology easy and fun. I absolutely cannot recommend her enough, although her teaching style is pretty textbook driven, she knows her stuff and is easily approachable and friendly.

I loved Ms. Anderson. This class gave a brief introduction to psychology and definitely left me wanting to learn more. I'm not sure why there are negative reviews because she was an amazing professor. She offered extra credit, optional lectures, and was available outside of class. It's clear she really cares about her students. Take her!

What an amazing Professor! She was very kind and understanding, making sure her students understood the material and felt comfortable. She cares a lot about her students and their learning and it really shows. Willing to work with you if you're having a tough time. 10/10 would take a class with her again!

Prof Anderson is one of the best professors i've had. Basically watch the weekly slideshows and recorded lectures (or attend them live). There are 3 exams but no final and they are super easy if you just do the quizzes and study. There is a textbook to read but i found that i could pass with just watching the slideshows and attending class. Great!

Very understanding and nice. Answers questions and makes discussions fun. There is a lot of repetition in this class but the assignments are fun as there is a variety. Overall makes the class feel comfortable talking especially since I had an online class. Solid teacher would recommend.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON IS AMAZING!! I beg you please take a class from her. She makes learning fun and interesting. Her exams are incredibly easy to pass (only 3 in the quarter) the study guides give you absolutely every piece of info you need. She is accessible outside of class and really cares about her students. Be communicative and you will pass:))

Very easy to communicate with and assignments are spaced out throughout the week. Professor Anderson does post about 2 to 3 video lectures per week to watch that go over the textbook more in depth (reading the book and watching the videos do take a lot of time!). Overall, great professor and super nice and understanding!

took her for general psych. she's very enthusiastic. there is a textbook you will use, "Psychology in Your Life: 3rd Edition" (Grison, Gazzaniga). she covers chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, and 14. she lectures through powerpoints, which you can download. the way i took notes was copying from the pps. i would take her again

I really like this Professor. Her lectures are decent, her grading is fair, her tests are fair, and her grading criteria is clear. What makes this Professor so good is the amount of resources she gives you. Flash cards, study guides, practice tests, you name it, she has it. She gives you all the resources you need to get an A in her class.

Friendly and understanding but took too much time engaged with irrelevant comments and pausing to ask if everyone understood when no one had questions. Didn't seem knowledgeable on the topics; PowerPoints were read to us, just repeats of the prerecorded lectures and basically regurgitated from textbook. Dampened my excitement over the subject.

Professor Anderson is a friendly person and her course on Canvas is organized well. There is a quiz every week, but you are allowed to use notes. She gives enough time for her students to turn in work. There was no midterm or final test, but there was an open note final refection. I would definitely take another one of her classes in the future.

carol assigns 2-4 assignments per week and she can be a heavy grader at times but as long as you follow her rubric youll get an A. She also grades off of attendance so make sure youre paying attention to her lectures.

This is the second time I have taken Professor Andersons class, she is extremely kind and passionate about psychology. The class itself was not difficult per se, but there were a lot of assignments that were easy to forget or get overwhelmed with. She has a good late work policy, and is very responsive to messages. I really like her, great class!

Doesn't abide by her syllabus. She'll change something last minute (even after you've submitted) and would still dock points. Notes are mandatory even if you know the material. Extra credit is only 0.5pts. Doesn't grade fairly. Doesn't take emergencies seriously. I was online and you had to be there regardless of emergency

Generally a nice prof, but she does not consistently stick to her syllabus. She grades fairly imo. However, her mandatory lectures felt unhelpful, and I didn't feel like I learned much from them. While she is usually approachable, she can sometimes come across as moody when things don't go as planned or when there is confusion.
