Awesome class! If you like SEX you will love this class. Its the only one I hated to miss because the material is so interesting! Teacher is awesome and really funny. Tests are a little harder then expected so definitly study, but you won't mind because of what you will be learning!

A lot of fun - reasonably demanding in terms of material. Class is always entertaining. Overall good teacher to have

I loved miss smith!!! she's a little tough with her grading, but she's always available for help and she really helped me improve my writing in general. She's so cute and very knowledgable and fun!

Love this woman! Class is interesting.Read before class to participate, but if don't its no big deal. Easy A if you go to class and pay attention, which isn't too hard b/c the topics are fun. Papers are easy. She's a GIANTS fan too! I recommend to anyone!!

Best teacher--very nice and understanding, 3 papers, tests are straightforward, actually enjoyed going to class, one of the best psych classes I have had at UD

Very interesting and explicit class. You learn so much about sexuality and she makes it fun. Tests a pretty straightforward and the papers are actually interesting... Got to write the film review on American Pie. She's very interested in the subject and is full of information and if she doesn't know the answer to a question, she'll find it out

Carrie Rocks! Going to class is fun.

Dr. Smith is such an awesome professor. She makes even the most boring stuff lots of fun. She's definately crazy, but in a good way and likes to have fun with the class. She's one of the professors that tells you about her life and lets you do the same. Definately take a class with her!

dr. smith is an awesome person..but make sure she's on your side or she can make you look like an ass. Her classes are fun, interesting, and seem easy, but her mc exams are tricky..sometimes she doesn't even understand what she was asking for after she reads over it again. easy B.

Carrie's entertaining and the material is fun! Not an easy A...easy B though. She's a little full of herself and that can be annoying...but it's also part of what makes her cool. Stay on her good side.

Shes not nearly that bad. Maybe you should learn to write and she wouldnt rip your papers apart. Fun in class, makes things fairly interesting. No final, but a big paper.

Human Sexuality- This class was awsome. The material was very interesting and really made you want to go to class. There were 2 exams (be sure you study), 3 fun (no really, they are very interesting) papers that really help to boost your grade, and an optional extra credit assignment. I have the book if you want to buy it from me! E-mail me!

By far the best professor in the psychology department and the best I've had at UD. Very clear on the topics she covers and makes the class interesting and fun to be in. However, she is not an easy grader and there is no way to BS in her class. No exams, just journal entries and a 20 page paper. Hard-grader and easily tears students writing apart.

Cool topic, cool teacher

by far the best psych professor i've ever had. Class was AWESOME, and not only cause it was about sex. She is somewhat difficult, but if you GOTO CLASS, and study like whoa for the tests you'll do fine. i ended up with an A. fun assignments, and gives opportunity for extra credit.

Dr. Smith taught this class very well and I didn't think it was TOO hard. You do need to come to class b/c she gives quizzes on the chapters in the book, but her power points are helpful and she's funny. Good class, good professor!

Has anybody ever watched 24? She looks just like Chloe and she's as smart as Chloe 2! I loved her, her class is so well organized, if you get lost in her class it's probably your fault because she's a great teacher. She expects only the best from you but that's because she gives you nothing but the best from herself. I loved the class.

she's an awesome teacher and she's really fun to have class with.

Amazing teacher. Very clear and very knowledgeable about the subject material. If you're a fast writer (typing is generally better) then it's easy. I never used the book, though she does complain sometimes about you not reading it. If you listen to her in lecture, everything you need for the exams is in what she says, so take notes.

One of the most interesting and knowledgable professors at UD. However, also one of the toughest graders ever and the most work i have ever had to do in a semester. You write 10 journal entries and a 20 page paper and have to study before practically every clas for a quiz. Although that part isn't fun, she does make the class very interesting.

GO TO CLASS!! everything you ever need to know about the tests is taught in her class. write down everything she has on powerpoint (even though she'll get mad) and write down side notes she says. she's funny and def makes class interesting.

Personality Theory: VERY INTERESTING! Best professor I have had. Treats students as adults and expects to be treated the same. Class requires lots of reading/studying for random quizzes (hence mandatory attendance), ten 2-4 page journals and a 20 page term paper. Overall, assignments were fun to complete. I would reccomend this class to anyone.

I loved loved loved this professor. She was amazing, she is so funny and really interesting. Everyone should take Professor Smith, she's very good. I am going to miss her class a lot next semester. Take her if your taking a psych class.

She's rude. She can make students feel like idiots sometimes. She gives way too much work and acts like she's our only teacher. She lets you out of class early all the time and then speeds up at the end of the semester and winds up putting the remainder of the notes online because she didn't budget her time properly. STAY AWAY FROM HER!

She is very outgoing & interesting. She hates cell phones ringing during class. She is a good teacher & gives you good examples. She gives you plenty of extra credit opportunities. Her tests can be tricky.

pretty easy class if u go and study moderately...good professor and interesting

Dr. Smith gives amazing lectures. You need to go to every one since they are longer and if you miss the material it's hard to catch up. Pretty much, you need to hear her teach it in lecture because she's very clear. Her tests are relatively easy, 50 multiple choice questions but they can definitely be tricky. Group activities blow.

Wonderful professor. She is very strict on behavior in her class which creates a very good environment for learning. Her tests are multiple choice but very tricky. Must read the book to pass this class. She is funny and her TA was a blast. If you can follow directions and keep your mouth shut during class.... you will love this class.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER - by far my favorite teacher since college - definately go to lecture..they're interesting and she knows what she's talking about - book isnt necessary IF YOU STUDYYYYY for exams they are multiple choice but really tricky -take good notes and study shes a witch the first day and then shes simply WONDERFUL LOVE LOVE LOVE HER

you HAVE to go to class-cant survive without her lecture notes. lectures were very clear and she gives lots of examples, but tests were confusing/tricky. she really knows what shes talking about though.

I think she's a great prof! For a huge lecture hall, she really tries to make sure everyone can grasp the concepts. Gives plenty of relatable examples and welcomes questions during class. There is a lot of work for an intro course, but it's usually interesting and helpful in understanding class topics.

The class is really interesting and she gives good lectures, but she can be a real **** if you talk in class or don't do the reading. Also, the final was IMPOSSIBLE.

ACTIVITIES ARE REALLY HELPFUL AND WORTH THE TIME! It's like getting a perfect on a test... saved my grade. Lectures are good, book is long and not too interesting sometimes. She definitely calls you out for sleeping, texting and talking, so watch out :)

This porfessor did a very good job; she was clear with her standards/expectations at the beginning of class. Definitely go to class but make sure you read the book. If you read the book (and really know it), the exams aren't too bad. She gave up to 10 points extra credit for participating in extra research studies, which really helps the grade.

Great teacher! Can come off a little snobby sometimes but she really knows what she's talking about, and I learned a lot. You have to work hard to get an A but it can be done. Take advantage of the extra credit, it'll really improve your grade.

I really enjoyed this class! I chose option B, which meant my grade was based on 3 exams alone. The tests are multiple choice, although very hard. You have to read the textbook and really understand the material. But Professor Smith provides lots of examples and her lectures were usually pretty interesting. Don't expect an easy A but it can be done

oh carrie smith..tests arent as bad as she makes you think as long as you study and stay on top of your reading. Doesnt take attendence. Sometimes she can be really annoying and self absorbed. lots of extra credit opportunities.

great teacher in class. very tough and legit. so you don't want to mess with her. super hard multiple choice exams but if you go to class everyday and pay attention you should pass with a B or so.

Dr. Smith is a tough cookie, to put it nicely. She scares you into staying awake and putting your cell phone away. Shes an amazing professor though. She gave some of the most interesting and concise lectures I've ever heard at UD. Great intro class, and if you have trouble, she gives plenty of extra credit.

Professor Smith is an INCREDIBLY TOUGH TEST MAKER. However, she is probably the best lecture giver I have had at UD and completely engaged me in each class. DEFINITELY do the experiments option and DEFINITELY do the extra credit. study HARD, VERY HARD, for the exams. I've seen the best students at UD get D's in her class.

EXTREMELY HARD! you have to buy the textbook and READ IT! if you don't read the chapters, you will NOT do well and make sure you go to class cuz her test questions are based on notes and stuff in the textbook that she does not go over in class. however, her lectures are really iteresting, so going to class is not boring at all. JUST STUDY HARD!!!

Dr. Smith (and don't even try to call her Professor Smith) is really a great teacher who I thought was really interesting and witty. If you can take her honors class. Even though a bit more work is required, the class size is a lot smaller and that makes the setting a lot more personal than a 400 person lecture. Research paper instead of final exam

Stray away from this woman if possible. If you are the type of student who does not go to class, this is not the class for you. I read the textbook religiously and still failed. She is out to ruin lives my friends. Take Cohen if you can -- much better. I've taken both, and I got an A in Cohen. I hope that puts it into perspective for ya ;)

Ok, don't let all the other comments scare you away. Her class isn't a piece of cake but this isn't high school anymore. Her lectures are usually pretty good. She has lots of memorable stories with sarcastic humor and she really gets the point across. Do the EC and go to class. The text isn't as necessary as the notes are. STUDY YOUR NOTES!

Great teacher! If you go to class u'll never have to touch your textbook and shes actually very interesting. The tests are hard but if you go to class and take great notes its ok. She will embarrass you if she catches u sleeping or texting. she gives extra credit and has great stories. Made me choose psych as a major.

i heard a lot of horror stories about psych209, but taking it with dr. smith has made it soo easy.. she really knows her stuff and makes the material easier to understand. She's definately the teacher to have if you want to do well in this class

She's a pretty good teacher. Not the best, but she definitely knows what she's talking about. Ask for help, do the homework, do extra credit if you get the chance and you'll be golden.

One of the best in-class lecturers. She knows what she's talking about and presents it very well. Reading before class is expected and she calls you out when she realizes no one's read. Tests are not easy, but if you really practice the formulas you can definitely do well. Gives a lot of extra credit

I found her very funny and engaging. She definatly knows her material and is very passionate about her expertise. Take good notes and study hard and you'll do fine. She also gives extra credit and the activites and experiments help your grade. Definatly take her class!

She is the best professor I have had yet. She has very interesting takes on the subject and is a great lecturer. Do not use your cell phone or sleep in her class. Go to class, her exams are from her lecture notes more than text book.

just read the book and go to class only if your confused.

If you are a psych major, I highly recommend this class. Dr. Smith is tough, but you will be fine if you attend class and pay attention. You will rarely need to use your book. She makes class interesting and adds interesting examples and stories. This was my favorite class so far.

Dr. Smith is a good teacher. And anything is better than James Hoffman for Measurements and Statistics. That being said Dr. Smith is a little full of herself. She will not give you any extra time on assignments, even if you're sick. She expects too much in too little time on exams, so be prepared. The labs and assignments are tedious. Not horrible.

DR Smith makes the class seem so interesting, However the exams are HARD! i studied my butt off n nvr got above a C.There is ALOT of hw too n reading. 1 funny thing is she always wears teenager clothes to class. 1 day she wore like a school girl outfit- HAHA. make sure to STUDY! i also recommend doing the GROUP project when u get the choice.

Really really good lecturer. she kept me awake, which is hard to do. but her tests are tricky. its hard to get an A, but its possible especially cause she gives you 18 pts extra credit on the final grade. but study and make sure you understand, not just memorize, everything

A true eye opening class as a college freshman. It was by far my favorite class yet I received the lowest grades as her exams are extremely challenging. Take the class to truly get a grasp on psychology and not for the easy grade. She his a very intelligent woman and someone that has a lot to offer.

Interesting, but very difficult class. If youre not really interested in this subject take another professor. Attendance is a big part because tests are mostly out of class notes.

car smith is an interesting lady. go to class because 95% of her exams are based on what she says. your hand will hurt by the time you leave class. if you don't do great on tests, extra credit will help A LOT, and so will group projects. the class is time consuming, but doing the work AND STUDYING will get you an A.

I have to admit, I was scared to death to take this class because of some of the things I've heard...but Dr. Smith is by far the best professor I've had thus far UD. She is extremely knowledgeable, and always willing to help if you just speak up. I hope I get an opportunity to take another class with her in the future. :)

I think it's ironic that you're in a psych class and expect taking notes and typing them up are going to be enough to breeze by. Psych isn't about memorization, it's about concepts. You needed to do more than memorize. No professor is perfect, but Dr. Smith is definitely no spawn of satan. If you took the time to really listen, you'd realize that

She's not that bad. Funny lady, and the math you do in the class is basic algebra. The only 2 complaints I have is that you have to hand in your homework for a grade, and the TAs will take points off for mistakes. That's what the test is for! Also, the way the TAs grade the homework doesn't match the way she teaches in class. Need to standardize.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CLASS!!!!!!! Definitely take this class. Professor Smith is difficult, she isn't handing out A's but as long as you study you will do well. All exams multiple choice, NOT a cummulative final. I love love LOVED this class...a definite must take for all psychology lovers

best professor i've ever had at UD! incredibly interesting and entertaining lectures. i highly recommend taking this class! exams aren't easy, but if you really study her lectures you'll do fine

She is an incredibly tough professor. If you are looking for an easy A, this is by no means the class you want to take. However, you definitely want to take this class if you are interested in the subject matter. The examples she gives assist the information quite a bit.

This professor is awesome! She is really interesting and makes her lectures fun. In order to do well on the tests, you have the understand the concepts, not just memorize stuff. As long as you pay attention and read over the book, you'll be fine.

It was a hard class... The material is easy if you go over it with other class members. There are a lot of labs in class that you do, boring.

If this was a 300 level class< i would have no complaints. But for PSYC100, come on. So much information so fast and the tests are pretty hard. You cannot simply regurgitate information, you need to apply it to situations. Class was not boring but hard!

Definitely not as easy as a 100 level should be, but she makes the material even more interesting than it is. The group/solo projects are a pain but they're easy points. To get a good grade, understand the concepts, don't just memorize facts. You'll have to apply the information in scenarios on the exams. NOT impossible to get an A if you study.

tough teacher expects you not 2 just memorize the terms but understand them in a real world & be able to use them she want her paper 2 have a examples not just summarizing info of line or from the book final is all essay form um 2 tell u how tough this class was almost everyone fail the mid term so she drop it & counting the final twice srry 4runon
