learned a lot, but tests were hard-had contradiciting info from book and notes.

Good guy, lectures mostly, funny. Enjoyable class

Good lecturer, but very unorganized, always right, and bad at making tests (she has the students maket he tests in social psych yuck!!)

The more I have class with her, the more I like her. She is easy and entertaining to listen to and obviously enjoys what she does. Tests can be difficult if you don't study. Overall one of the better psych professors here.

Very thorough. Lectures are interesting and engaging. Tests are tough but not impossible. She is very good about making sure everyone understands. I have learned a lot and use the information to help me with other classes. Definately worth taking.

WONDERFUL PROFESSOR! She doesn't take crap from students and that's a good thing. If you do your work you will do well.

hard but good! learned A LOT from carol oyster. really insteresting to listen to and really enjoyed her lectures. definately have to study for tests and take time on papers, but worth it!

I like her a lot. She's rough around the edges but a great teacher. Knows her stuff. Soc. Psych was just like sociology plus psychology so there is a lot of overlap.

She is very willing to help students out if they need to have help. The downfall is the fact that she is rather opinionated and its hard to get a good grade on a paper where you disagree with her. Her tests seem easy, but when you get them its not uncommon to have a lower grade than you expected.

knows what she's talking about, very helpful if you ask, but you need to know what she's looking for especially on papers, very willing to change things in the class that don't work

Well, despite what others may have said, I think she is a great teacher! She gives clear examples to help explain things better and makes class very interesting! Just wonderful.

I think she is an AWESOME professor. She is very clear, open to questions, and encourages discussion. She may have opinions, but that is what makes the class so much fun. If you are looking for 'a good time' take this class with Prof. Oyster for sure!

She's definitely interesting.

I like this class very much. She's so funny but with a dry, sarcastic humor. She tries to give bonus points to the people who show up on fridays and shows videos. The test are kind of hard, but read the book and take notes along the way and they're not that bad.

Loved this class! I learned a lot of new and interesting things about sex!

She's a great professor. She can be very opinionated, but she has good reason to be. She's passionate about the issues and subject matter. I definitely recommend taking her class... but one piece of advice... DON'T BE LATE! (She hates that.)

Don't take her unless you're a serious student. She wants you to be honest and serious. If you want to slack off, cheat, or disengage, forget her.

She wasn't as hard as many people believe.. her tests are fairly easy.. need to attend class in order to pass.. can't skip.. ever!

good teacher, pay attention to details and read the book and you'll be fine only 2 papers and 3 tests and a not cumulative final

interesting and engaging entertaining

Dr Oyster is amazing! Everyone who thinks she's difficult doesn't understand that YOU'RE IN COLLEGE! You're here to get an education, her tests can be difficult if you don't do the work. Why pay for a class that you learn nothing from? Her class is easily do-able.. take a risk and learn something!

Professor Oyster is an amazing lady. She is a good teacher who presents her ideas in a clear fashion. Her powerpoint slides are posted online to print off. She gives statistics and dates but doesn't require much memorization of those facts. She is very knowledgeable on the subject matter and could get into more detail than she does if needed.

Easily the most interesting class I have had yet. Great lecturer, always had interesting stories to relate the material to real life. Four exams (multiple choice) and two papers. Not an easy class but definitely interesting and worth the challenge!!

Very opinionated and seems inapproachable but is helpful if you ask. Her tests are kinda hard, and she's a tough grader on the papers. But, her final exam is SO easy, she understands we have other finals to study for that may be more important. I was at a B in her class, got 100 on the final with minimal studying and ended with an A in the class :)

Difficult grader on papers, but the tests are pretty easy. Make sure you show up because some lecture material is on the exam. She seems unapproachable at first but she was very helpful when I asked for it. Don't turn in assignments late if you want to pass. Can be a bit repetitive and scatterbrained but generally interesting.

Carol was a great teacher. If you feel she is a tough paper grader, then you write poor papers. I always received the grades I deserved. She isn't afraid to treat her class like the mature adults we all should at least be attempting to be. I respect her honest approach and would recommend her to anyone who can appreciate that.

I loved Oyster in Social Psych. Tests are easy and based off of powerpoints she posts online. Her paper grading isn't as bad as people say. Just proof read and use spell check and you'll be fine. I thought she was a great lecturer and always had great stories that related to our material.

Very good teacher. Her paper grading is a little hard as she rarely gives out A's. Her tests are so easy, just use your commonsense and your at least guaranteed a C on them without studying. Sadly she is only teaching social psy for the next couple years. If you can take her!

She seems a little unorganized at times but the class is pretty easy and straight foreward. The exams are all multiple choice, she is just a tough grader on the papers

Her lectures were interesting, but the material she expected us to know on the test was unpredictable. I read and went to class and studied and never got better than a B on a test. She wasn't helpful telling us what to study. Papers were interesting and she was very clear about what she expected, i did well on those. Okay teacher.

The tests aren't that bad. I studied her powerpoints and read but there was always some I didn't know where they came from. Her paper grading is pretty hard. She offers a lot of extra credit. Getting a B isn't hard but an A was impossible. Very nice lady though, really enjoyed her lectures.

Carol is a great teacher! Very determined to help you in any way. Lectures are relatable and interesting. Tests are fairly easy-- about 40 multiple choice. She has high standards for papers, but c'mon people, we're college students. Overall I really enjoyed having her!

She's very interested and knowledgable on the topic of class and makes her lectures interesting. She reads off powerpoints and there are a lot of notes, but it's not too bad. Tests are decent. Definitely study your notes and do all the readings! Class isn't a lot of work, but getting an A can be difficult.

I found tests to be difficult, but most likely because I missed a lot of class. She isn't the most interesting professor but I've definitely had worse. Go to class if you want to do well.

she really knows her stuff. interesting topic, i actually enjoyed going to class. our final grades posted within 24 hours of taking the final. people complain about her taking a long time to return papers, she uses ID numbers instead of names and by now if you can't get your ID right, you deserve to wait a couple more days. very cool lady. take her

I loved her!!! This is by far the most interesting psychology class I've taken and it is because of Dr. Oyster. She's tough and she tells you how it's going to be from the first day of class. My class had problems following directions apparently, but all you have to do is pay attention and you will do fine.

Dr. Oyster is fantastic. She's exactly what I expect from a college professor. She is incredibly intelligent and has great experiences to share. She's tough but this is a college course. She expects effort and explains exactly what she wants while always being open to questions via email or in class as well as amending the syllabus. I loved her!

As a first semester freshman, Carol has been a great professor. She offers open-question review sessions before tests, is willing to take constructive criticism in efforts to increase quality of learning, and is extremely down to earth. Recommended taking Ethnic and Racial Studies.

I'm currently in my first semester here at UWL and she's at the top of my list for professors. She makes sure you know your stuff but the notes she provides in class are great. Down to earth person and has a good sense of humor in class.

She is an excellent professor! She is passionate about what she teaches, and is always looking out for her students. She has many interesting stories that give the class a deeper understanding of the material

I really enjoyed taking this class. Dr. Oyster is entertaining, the material is interesting, and the time passes quickly. She is relatively unorganized, goes off on a lot of tangents, and her tests are slightly difficult, but overall its a good class and she's a good professor.
