Doesn't expect too much from her students; she knows we like to party.
Top is great!!! She is so sweet and she is great psych professor. Her tests are easy, but only because she her study guides are very clear and she lets you know what to study. I actually learned a lot from her!!
Top is a wonderful teacher. She is clear, concise, and very helpful in her teachings.
was a awesome teacher helped me when every I needed it and really was willing to do what ever it took to help her sudents.
awesome teacher and really easy to understand and tests are easy also.
Top...is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She made everything very comfortable. She also gave good visual aids for our test...it made it lot better when it came to test time. Hope to have her again!
Top is amazing, best teacher ever. Her class isn't "easy" it's just how she makes it feel. She's laid back, helpful, and creative. She tells lots of stories! and relates them to tests.
Topping is the best professor I have ever had! She is wonderful! I learned so much from her class! She is very understanding, helpful and laid back. Do your work, pay attention, and you are garunteed an A!
By far the best instructor I've had so far at VSCC.
Wow. i highly recommend this class. This is my only honors class and it's the easiest one i have. i don't mind showing up because she makes things fun. It's extremely easy- TAKE IT.
Top is one of those teachers you wish you could take with you to whatever school you go to. I wish she could have taught all my psych courses! It's funny to see the look on my current profs face when I tell him about the memory aids Top taught me. *lol*
she's the best teacher ever!!!
best teacher ever!!!!!!!!!
amazing teacher! she is very helpful, great sense of humor. wonderful woman. love love love her!
Fairly easy but hard to follow due to dislexia, recommened
this teacher is all about the pass... if u actually try in her class she will pass you... just dont goof around, lol
AWESOME instructor!!! She is fun and truly cares about her students. Highly recommend!!
I took her psychology class during the may-mester at vol state. she was really cool, we got out early almost everyday, even though we had to be there for a couple hours, she made it interesting. she was really funny, made everyone laugh. her tests were representative of what we covered in class. just a great teacher, very friendly,and very caring
Dr. Topping is an excellent teacher. I had her for a General Psychology I course, and her class was probably the most interesting and enjoyable of all the courses I've taken yet. Dr. Topping is very easy going, and, as long as you do the work, her class is exceedingly easy to make an "A" in. I would recommend her to anyone.
She's great, and really funny.
Her class is so much fun. She really makes things easy to understand. She is really funny!
I absolutely loved her class. She has a great personality and keeps everyone interested and entertained!
She is AMAZING! Couldn't have asked for a better teacher! Hardly any homework, take home quizzes, and if a number of people missed the same problem on the test, she would just remove that question, so you are guarantted an A if you just show up and pay some attention. and by some i mean nod your head every once in a while. TAKE HER! YOU WONT REGRET
If you have to take a Psychology class then you need to think about taking Dr. Topping. She makes her classes fun by using humor to get her points across. I would take her again if I needed another Psychology class. She is very good and will answer questions very clearly when asked. Take her and you won't be sorry!
SHE IS AWESOME! EASY A! SHE IS HILARIOUS!
Top is AWESOME! She loves her students and is the fairest teacher I have ever expirenced! She is also very FUNNY!
Top is a wonderful professor. I can tell that she loves her job. She is very intelligent and humorous. I was excited to go to her class everyday. Her teaching style is effective and fun, which kept me awake and interested. I personally looked up her classes so I could have her again in the fall. She is very understanding and fair. A+++ Ashley R.
I LOVE HER! She is one of the best teachers you could ever have! She is so funny, and it's really easy on tests because it's exactly what she talks about. She doesn't really use the book but that's ok. TAKE HER CLASS. You won't regret it!
She is so awesome! Not only did I have fun,but I totally understood her! I wouldn't say she is "easy" because you DO have to study for her tests and what not, she is just such a good teacher that you actually learn the material so it SEEMS easy. This is not a sleep through class : ] and why would you sleep!!?? she is awesome and Fun!
She is AMAZING. learned so much but had fun. shes the best
She is a really great teacher. She keeps me interested and laughing the whole time, and the class is really interesting. I would definitly reccomend her for anyone who wants to learn and have fun!
You know, I didn't really learn a terrible amount, but I did learn a little. Topping, to me, was a great professor. Very kind and caring person. Highly recommended.
Top is an AWESOME teacher! She's very helpful and knows her stuff like the back of her hand! A few people kind of disappeared from her class but it definitely can't be b/c she was hard. Take her & you won't regret it! =)
i took professor topping for human interactions and she is THE BEST teacher ever!!! she is SOOOO easy and funny! we didn't even have to have a textbook! and we took group tests.it would be VERY hard to fail this class
Ms. Topp is a EXCELLENT teacher. Very easy to earn an "A". NEVER used a book in her class. I highly recommend her if your taking psychology. She is one of the best teaching teachers I have ever had and even though you don't use a book when she discusses things it sticks with you. She is very funny and AWESOME!!!
She was great probably the best teacher that i have ever had. If you take her you'll love her. All the quizes are take home and she gives you everything that you need to know during her lecture (which are never boring). She is a garanted "A" unless you just dont study. Now she does make you find articles to write about but its peaches trust me. :)
She gets things through without doing stupid useless boring exercises and drills.
Mrs. Topping is probably the only professor Id highly recommend. This was the ONLY class I loved and looked forward going to everyday. She is the ONLY teacher I could easily talk to as a friend and she is so sweet. Her class was never dull, and I learned so much and got an easy A...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!
Top is the best! Sign up early for PSY101 because everybody wants to take her. An easy A, attendance not mandatory but you will want to attend class. All professors should model Top's teaching style. She wants you to get the material not try and trick you up on tests. LOVED IT! Not my major but I plan to take her other courses as electives!
Top is by far the best teacher that I have had in college. She is very helpful and knows how to make boring material exciting in class. As long as you pay attention to what she says you will have no problem passing the class with a good grade!!
by far the best teacher volunteer state community college has!! very entertaining, even at 8am every MWF! you wont be disappointed!!!
Absolutely the best teacher I have ever had. She is very understanding. Her texts are exactly about when she goes over every day. Just pay attention and you won't have a problem. She is very entertaining, you'll look forward to coming even at 8 MWF. By far my favorite teacher I have ever had. She also lets you redo stuff for a better grade.
TOP SETS THE BAR ABOVE REACH FOR OTHER PROFESSORS. I APPRECIATED HER OPENNESS DURING DISCUSSIONS. SHE IS VERY REAL IN RELATING TO HER STUDENTS. I WISH SHE TAUGHT ALL COURSES FOR MY DEGREE. I TOOK PSY DURING THE SUMMER TERM-1ST 5 WEEKS. I NEVER GOT TIRED OF GOING TO CLASS EVERY DAY..VERY INTERESTING. THANKS TOP!!!
Ms. Topping is amazing!!
She is so sweet & she wants you to do well. She is a character which is what makes her class fun! The class is an easy A. Just pay attention & take notes. I'd recommend her to anyone.
What a great instructor. Animated, informative, motivated. Never a boring minute.
Great teacher! Very approachable, wants students to do their best. Lets you know what to study for tests. You may need help reading her writing though :)Wish all teachers were like her.
I took her class Abroad in Austria. It was only three weeks and I think she covered everything. I had taken this class at my own college and I still learned ALOT from her. She is extremely clear and very helpful. Her memory aids are something I will never forget.
I LOVE HER! She is super clear about everything, funny, if you stay after class she will help you with anything you didn't quite get. She is fun. I want to take another one of her classes and I recommend her classes for sure.
Ms. Top is a great professor. Her assignments are easy to understand and either straight from the book or notes. She uses great memory tools, like the hippo going to camp to make memories. She's hilarious and gets to know her students. This semester she had seven classes and still knew our names. Very impressive. Definitely recommend.
THe absolute BEST teacher ever. I have never learned so much from one person in my life. She has the best memory aids and her teaching has made me understand a little more about myself as a student, mother, and wife. I think she was made for exactly what she does! Love her
I absolutely love her. She is always in a good mood.. Keeps you laughing. You actually have fun while your learning. As long as you take notes and do your work you will do great!! I DEFINITELY recommend taking her!
Excellent instructor! Loved her class. Be sure to take notes and you'll do fine. Will work with you if you have any problems. Makes learning fun and interesting. Learned a lot in her class. Definitely recommend taking her.
She is a wonderfull teacher i had her for both psy 101 and psy 221. Psy 101 she had us take notes, but the classes was easy. All the quizzes were take home n tests were not hard. Psy 221 the notes could be printed off d2l, tests become group tests. Over all great teacher. she forcus on teaching what u need to know about the class
This lady is AMAZING. She is by far the best teacher on campus. She makes material easy to understand and is always willing to help! She's hilarious and really cares about her students. I wish I had had her longer than a Maymester! FYI, be careful on what you say on the first day of class (; (; (;
She is the best of the best. Hilarious, entertaining, understanding, helpful. We had two Journal article critiques and a research project but both were painless. Her tests are 50 questions all multiple choice and sometimes they are take home or group tests. This class was the best!
amazing teacher!! i honestly wish i had her for every gen ed class i have o take. shes makes calss fun and fully understands and empathizes with the students. in her class i didnt just memorize the material for the test i actually learned!!! Every student needs to have a class with her!!!
Take her class! Seriously!
So clear and helpful! She is an amazing teacher! Very lively and fun. Stays on track with subjects and provides thorough study guides for all tests. If you do the study guides you will pass the test. No curveballs.
Absolutely love Top! She is great! Very helpful, keeps class fun and interesting! I recommend her to everyone! It was worth the 8 a.m.!
Dr. Top is by far the best teacher ever! I have never had a teacher keep my attention the way she does! She is extremely laid back with deadlines of assignment, and even if you don't get your assignment done on time she only takes a point off per day late.I would recommend this teacher to anyone. Worth the 8am class!
She is seriously a great teacher. I was intimidated by her at first but got over that quickly. She sat in class and pretended to be a student the first day. She was super easy, all the quizzes are open book and the tests are right from the quizzes. So just go to class and listen and youll be fine. She even gives you notes so that makes it easier.
Best teacher I've ever had. Class was easy. She is super nice to everyone. And very helpful. Gives 2nd and 3rd and 4th chances on almost everything you do.
She is beyond awesome! The only teacher who has made me want to come to school. Super fun and relates a lot of the material to everyday life. Only a few assignments throughout the course but they are not brutal. Overall, she's super nice, truly cares about your progress & loves to laugh! If you have the chance, take her! You won't be disappointed.
She is a great teacher! Really helpful and an easy A.
This class is so easy! If you're looking for a class where you don't have to go to class or do much work and still get an A, this is your class. Topping is so interesting and funny though that you might just want to go to class. DO NOT buy the book! You don't use it, she prints all the notes you need and most of the time the quiz's are take home!
Professor Top is one of the best Professor in Volstate How I wish she could teach me all my classes. She's hilarious, intelligent, helpful, easy, and other good quality of a good professor you may think of she has it. she's highly recommendable to students who wants to take any psychology course. She's the right person to teach any psych class.
TOP is trip! To all future students she likes being called Top! She will keep you laughing the whole time your in class; makes learning really fun. She gives mainly open book test toward the end of the semester and her final project is really interesting. I would recommend her class to any and everyone.
Hands down my most favorite teacher there. Classes are never boring ad she makes learning the material really fun. Highly recommend
Ms. Topping is by far my favorite professor I've ever had. She taught me so much about psychology which is amazing because I have to take every psych class for my profession. If i could i would have her teach me in every psych class. Absolutely hilarious and made class so much fun to attend.
She is amazing. Makes everything fun and easy for the students. I would take her for any class she teaches. I give zero effort and have an A. She tries to keep her lectures interesting by being funny, which she is most of the time. Great teacher!
I can't say enough good about Top! She is funny, she values everyone's thoughts, she is inclusive, she gets the class involved, she knows what she is talking about, she is extremely helpful, she is a teacher that is in your court. She is a bit "all over the place" in her thoughts but she tells you this from the start! She is amazing.
Dr. Topping is the best professor I've had for the two semesters I've attended VolState. She has such a great sense of humor and she is just a wonderful person! We had a few papers to write which i actually enjoyed writing, it was truly refreshing though all the stress of all my other classes. I truly enjoyed going to her class.
Topp is literally the BEST professor ever. She's hilarious and so down to earth. She is relatable and so helpful. TAKE HER CLASS!!
I adore Mrs. Top, she is supportive, laid back, and very funny! If you have an issue, she will try her best to work things out with you. She understands that sometimes, life happens and she is fine with that in terms of lateness and stress. I want her to teach every single one of my courses, she is fantastic!
I wish I could take Top for more classes. She is great! I highly suggest taking her class.
What can I say about Professor Top that hasn't already been said!? She's an amazing teacher and makes class so much fun! She will keep you laughing, but you will learn at the same time! She's fantastic at what she does. TAKE HER.
Ms. Topping is probably my favorite teacher yet. She's hilarious and can easily keep the attention of her students. Her lectures are very clear and cover what need's to be covered in each class period. She is very helpful and willing to work with you if you have to miss class for some reason. I'm definitely going to miss taking her class!
Best class I have taken so far in college. She makes psychology interesting. Definitely take her class!
One of the most lenient professors at Vol State. She is very intelligent in her field and can explain things very well. I would highly recommend enrolling in her class.
Topp is a great and funny professor. I liked going to her class and hearing her funny stories. I highly suggest taking her, if you don't you'll be sorry!
She's one of the funniest professors I've had at Vol-State. She cares about your grades, and tries to help you by curving them & extra credit. I believe a book is mandatory if you want to pass. Quizzes are open book & take home, and sometimes we take home test. We only have one project, but it's super easy! You'll love her!! I recommend her!
Top is one of the best teachers at Volstate. Not only is she a great professor but she really cares about her students. Highly recommend her!
Carol Topping is one of the best teachers at Volunteer State, hands down! Her lectures are fun and keep you entertained. The biggest thing that stood out to me was that after I left her class I remembered what she taught us. I didn't just memorize the study guide then forget everything after the test like high school.
She is a great teacher. She always keeps things interesting in class,
She's AWESOME! Sad day leaving her class for the last time. She's hilarious, keeps you interested, and really wants for every student to pass. There's no way anyone should fail her class.
Adult humor kind of teacher. Gave you many chances to get things right and turn them in. Easy A.
Professor Topping "Top" is so hilarious, kind, and knows her stuff. You wont find yourself with any questions that she cant answer about psychology! Her class will be entertaining and before you realize it, the semester has flown by and you have learned so much more than you probably expected.
wonderful professor. Makes class interesting and fun.
Awesome professor! Really easy class just take notes and listen. Definitely would take her again if possible!
Top was absolutely amazing, I would take all of her classes if I had the time and money. She makes college fun and I love her to death.
Topp truly cares about her students and definitely has a passion for what she teaches. I would recommend her class to everyone!
Prof. Topping is a great instructor who cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Show up, do the work, show interest in the subject, and you'll get an A no problem.
Take this class!! Professor Top wants you to do well in her class and she makes it very easy to do so. She makes the material easy to understand and provides real life examples.
One of the best professors at vol state. She is absolutely incredible and truly cares about each of her students. I was actually so sad on the last day of class because I loved her so much. I recommend this class to literally anyone. It will help you tremendously because she has a huge heart and loves her students.
Awesomely easy to understand, she's good at making you understand. She says things to grab your attention. She's funny, and easy to work with! I would recommend her to anyone!! She my favorite so far..
I love Professor Topping. Literally the best professor you could ever have. She has plenty of opportunities for you to make good grades and receive the grade you want. With her class you should pass with ease. I just love her y'all as you can see. I prefer you guys to take her class you won't regret it.
Top is a great professor and is incredibly intelligent. Do not underestimate her. She is hilarious and class was always super enjoyable, I actually wanted to go even though I knew it wasn't necessarily mandatory. She's great, if you have the opportunity to take her, DO!
Topping is an amazing professor. She is full of hilarious stories and will make you laugh every class. She is super kind and easy to talk to. I am taking her courses again this fall.
Top is an amazing teacher. She tells hilarious personal stories to give you memory aids. Her tests are straight from the notes. She is very reasonable and I wish I could take her again
I would retake this course a million times !! Tops explains everything very well and is always making us laugh. She is willing to work with you if your grade is struggling (which is unlikely) and is almost always available outside of the classroom.
LOVE her!!! Best teacher at Vol State by far.
She was so understanding! I tore my ACL and had to miss a ton of class, and I still made it out with an A+
Carol Topping is one of the best professors that I have had. She is very interesting and knows what she is talking about. Just do the work and turn it in on time and you will pass.
Professor Top is amazing! She gives lectures that are super easy to understand and keeps your attention with fun stories and jokes. She is good about giving memory aids, which make information incredibly easy to memorize. Tests are incredibly easy if you takes notes in class. She covers a lot of info in each class, so don't miss if you can help it!
VERY HARD WORKER
Best professor ever! She's so kind. Makes lectures interesting. Exams are easy if you study your notes. All the quizzes are take home quizzes which is very helpful for your grade. 10/10 would recommend.
She is very kind and helpful . It is hard to fail her class if you keep up.
She is very nice and funny. Do all your work and extra credit and you will pass
I absolutely loved this professor. The class was set up just how I needed it and I actually enjoyed it. There are extra credit opportunities given at the end of the semester. Easy and quick class. I definitely recommend this professor!
Awesome teacher. Really wants her students to do well and it is obvious. I would recommend her 10/10.
Professor Topping is funny, caring, and awesome! She truly loves her job and it shows through her students. I would recommend her again and again.
She is such a caring and considerate professor. She's not "easy", she just prepares her students really well and actually teaches instead of pure memorization for exams. She changed my entire view of college and professors. She is AHHHHHmazing! I cannot recommend her enough.
All she wants is for you to do good in class and she will do anything to help.
She's my fav prof.
Top is one of my favorite professors at Vol State (yes, we were allowed to call her Top). She isn't exactly easy, but she made the work simple enough to understand so I was able to pass with an easy A. She truly cares about her students' success and is willing to explain something if you don't understand. I would, without a doubt, take her again.
I absolutely LOVED her Psychology class!!! She is super funny, caring, and is super positive. Shes a very good listener, if you ever go to her to talk about anything. I would recommend her over anyone. She grades easily and really works with you if you are struggling with an assignment. Nothing but good things to say about her and her classes!!
I wish she taught every class. College would be a breeze.
Funniest and best professor I've ever had! Also the only professor I've ever cared enough to rate :)
Professor Topping is amazing! I wish I could have her for all of my classes. If you are having issues just communicate with her she will help in any way she can. She is so understanding and gives great feedback on assignments. Plus she gives extra credit!
I took Top's online class and it was fairly easy. You have your usual exams and quizzes, but then you have "class activities" which are TRULY engaging and interesting. She provides excellent feedback on those assignments. She is very knowledgeable in her field, and I would highly recommend you take her.
While her disorganization could affect your understanding of the class, she is really patient and kind. She is really good professor and I know the content by the time I've left class.
Proffessor Top is very good at what she does. I took her social psychology class and it was definitely an easy A. There are very few assignments, and she tells you exactly what she wants. There is a discussion due most sundays, very short though. Every other week theres an engaging assignment where you watch a video. Read her notes for the 3 test
So so sweet. One of the best teachers I've ever had. Super understanding of life getting in the way. She makes teachers notes of every chapter and is super organized. Fun and helpful class.
I loved professor Top she is so accommodating and sweet and not to mention funny! She gives very informational lectures and exams are allowed to be taken at home if you have in person class. But she does like when you take them in class. I definitely recommend and shes a very dedicated to her class.
She was a great professor! She had lots of papers, but the grading criteria was easy to understand and she graded exactly off that criteria. Answer the questions she asks, and you'll get an A. Pretty simple stuff. Answer honestly and thoughtfully and she appreciates that. It's really a fun class and I'll be looking for more of her classes.
Professor Topps is a sweet professor! You will need to study the materials she provides because the tests are reflected in her lectures! Her course was very interesting!
Professor Topps is a wonderful instructor. Although the class isn't a cakewalk, her engaging lectures and genuine care for students make it worth the effort. I found Unstuck ai super helpful for prepping.
