Ms. Hawk: everyone can succeed. Uses all the right tools to do so! Lecture, text, video, powerpoint, discussion & group work to get it all to sink in. She quizzes for understanding and reviews concepts to be tested. Extra credit is available; concept questions handed in help you keep with the syllabus. Smiles a lot; is "up". She ROCKS!

Excellent teacher. Super enthusiastic. Highly recommended. The internet project takes longer than she says, so start early. Mostly women in attendance, so class kinda sometimes turns into a female "gab" session about the body, pregnancy, and child-rearing. Nonetheless, a terrific class and teacher. Take her class!

Extremely easy class and great professor! I had taken Intro to Psych previously and gotten a C but wanted to retake it to make an A instead. I signed up for Hawk's online class and was able to almost all of the work done within the first two weeks, being able to work at my own pace. I highly recommend taking her!

Wonderful professor! I took her during the summer, there's readings, tests, discussions and journals due each week. Sounds like a lot, but it was actually pretty easy. She explains her lectures very well and she wants all of her students to pass. I would def recommend her to anyone who is needing to take the class.

Took her for Lifespan and Development Psych online. Didn't really need the book because the online access code also gave access to the online book. Clear grading criteria. Work at you own pace but with set deadlines for certain chapters. Discussion boards every week or two, but can turn in late for partial credit. Awesome class!!

This class is honestly an easy A and the only reason I did not get an A is because I did not turn in 2 essays and I still got a B+! Pros: Easy Class & NO TESTS! Cons: Weekly essays

I took her online class for Human Growth and Development, it couldn't have been easier. With that being said, you do two chapters a week, so much reading. Don't buy the book, it's included with online access code you buy. I would have liked taking this class on campus better. She was so kind and always gave feedback.

Very wonderful professor. I ran into tech support problems half way through the course and she said don't worry about it, I'll still get a grade for what I've done. Each week you're given 2 chapters to read and most of the time a discussion board post. Quizlet is your friend, and no "tests" but a quiz with each chapter. I highly recommend!

LOVED taking her class. Do the work and you pass. You do about 2 chapters a week in the online book, you do the objectives and video quizzes. You also have to post and comment in the discussion board. As long as you communicate with her, she is forgiving. I was late on a few of the discussion boards but she waived the late deductions.

She only had 3 exams, 10 journals (500 words min.) and about 10 discussions (50 words min). She's about to retire so if you can take her during the fall I 100% recommend.
