awesome prof & best in psych dept - only bad thing is she notices if your not in class
CARYN IS AN EXTREMLY AWESOME TEACHER! SHE IS SO NICE AND CARES ABOUT EACH OF HER STUDENTS. I LOVED HER CLASS IT WAS INTERESTING AND SHE MADE ME WANT TO COME TO CLASS. SHE HAD INTERESTING THINGS TO SAY EACH TIME.
I learned so much more in this class than I thought would happen. SHe is the most interesting kind and helping professor and I would rec. you take her.
Dr.Levington is an exceptional teacher and youcan tell she is a great person. She is ridiculously smart and will put you in your place if you challeng her. Loves to talk about her dogs! I got a B and had to work for it but I learned alot. The education field is lucky to have her. shes also very humorous
i graduated Harper & this is the only prof I reallh loved having there - she even wrote me a letter of reference and realy cares - take her you wont regretit
Wonderful prof - knows her stuff, smart and funny and intteresting. Loved the class anddid great. Wish she taught fulltime!
I took her years ago and JUST finished my BA in PSYCH! She is a great teacher, and taught a lot of things that meant more to me later on as I grew more and found out more about life than when I was at Harper.
Shes great! Smart, funny. I loved the class tho to me a lot of psychology is navel gazing (I am into science and math). She made it relevant to me. I saw her last week at Harper and want to take another class from her. Take her -you wont regret it.
Really dug the class and saw a program she did, too. Made me like psychology more!
I took this class a long time ago and I wish I could take it again (for credit). It was the best class Harper offers. It made me like coming to school and even made me want to study pychology. Shes great likes her students and likes teaching.
Great prof, and its easy to get a good grade - read the syllabuss, do the work, and you got to come to class. Anybody can get an A. Saw her at graduation and she remembered me after 3 years. Nice lady, great class.
SHe is graet teacher.
The best class and teacher i have at Harper. i love the class. she is smart and funny and i like everything about it.
Awesome teachr, awesome class! Love her and will take her again This class is the best ever!
shes graet and funny i luv the class!!!
Shes smart knows her stuff and very funny. Best Psyc class I had at harper or NIU. I could listen to her all day. I did well and got an A just followed the sylabus and learnt alot. want to take the human animal class now with her.
Very sweet and funny. Just attend class and participate. No book. No tests but you will have to address the class 3 times for in-class assignments. Final project lets you express yourself however you want--art, song, poems, paper, etc. Just be genuine and be yourself, show up to class, put some effort into your final project, and you'll have an A+.
i realy liked ths class - teacher is smart and funny and nice and took time with me and helped me get a good grade. will take her again and wish she taught other things like math too!!!
I love this prof! Dr. L is wicked smart and very funny - like having a great teacher and a great person to learn from. Liked her so much I am going to sign up for her summer class, too. You can tell she really likes her students and is a scholar and a talented prof.
Class was intresting and good. something to look forward too. Professors were friendly and awesome. But, it was a Lot of work for two creditts/nmow they made it three. Better then the other Harper teachers.
I love this professor and have taken her twice now. im in her Summer class now. She is very engaging and intresting inpersona nd online. She cares aobut her students and always responds to emails and blackbored. I would keep taking her if she taught fulltime.
I took this over the summer. Great teacher I wish she taught more of the Psych classes I need to take. I didn't think this was a difficult class.
What an amazing professor. SUUper smart and very nice. I learn so much from her!!!!take her online adol. psych course. 20 gold stars
Loved the prof loved the class. She is fair but she not easy and couldn't blow off the class is workload even online but she went to trouble to help me and I got an A.
Maybe my favorite prof.at Harper. She kept it interesting and related the topic to our lives. Knows her stuff, very wise and kindly, there for questions and discussions and talks. Wwould recommend.
Wonderful class and best instructor. Made everything creative an d interesting to us students. Lots of good talks and I looked forward to every class. Highly reommend her and take this class withher!
Tough course but I passed it! Teacher is sweet but expcts a lot from us. Met with me whenver I needed and flexible nice and kind. Learned a lot too. Book not so great way too much expensive. Liked it online.
I took this class blended online and in person a few summers ago and LOVED IT! it inspirted me. She is funny and one of the kindest people and wise. Very prepared for class and discussions in person and online. I remember this as the best class I took at Harper.
Ok class good prof but pschology is not my thing
She knows all about psychology & is funny and kind and smart. related things to us that were important to us For me I didnt want to go to Harper but had to for a while my financial aid was messed up. I m glad that i had her as a teacher shes as good as at my 4 year college even better and cares unlike my other teachers. Take her you wont regret it.

I took it because it was required and didn't think I would like it. Wow - I was wrong - I loved it! She made it matter, was funny and got to know us, kept us engaged. I liked it alot. I would take her again. Would like her to teach a class for students in Nursing or pre-med.
Like her a lot. Class is good but 7 is too early but works for my job hours and other classes.
She's the best at Harper you should take her I'd take her again. Trying to take her again even though I don't need another psych class. She teaches grad students but relates to us and knows everything about PSY. Warm and kind and there for U.
Taken a few classes but this was my favorit e class at Harper. Not easy but I learned so much. Dr. L is great prof and funny very kind and upbeat, positive even so early in the morning. Shes passionate about psychology and now I am a little bit too. Made me think about some things.
Caryn is such a great teacher! This is NOT the typical Psych101 class. You must buy the book since it comes with the PSYCHLAB app, and it's used for weekly quizzes. Quizzes get a bit tough towards the end but not that bad. I passed the class with a 96%. Midter is a group project and presentation. The final is an essay with a short presentation.
Intro Psychology this class was required and I found it to be very good. I looked forward to going to class every time even though I don't really like being in school. Dr. L made it interesting and fun and I learned some things not just about class but about me and my life. Dr. L says psychology is the story of us and I learned so much about it.
Took the class blended version a few years ago. This was my favorite class. Dr Caryn is awesome and Bill was too. They teach as a team. She also wrote the best recommendations for me & got me into my next school. Take this class u won't regret it.
This is the class and the prof to take if you want to work in psychology. You will learn so much from her. She is very caring, wise, kind, and funny. She will work with you and give you feedback throughout the class. I am not crazy about Harper, but for her. She could teach anywhere and would excel at any school. The text book is really good, too.
Best class I have ever taken. Period. She is not easy and its not simple to learn but class stuck with me long after it was over. Not to mention that its not just info but also gave me more of empathy and understanding . My family has mental illness in it and now I get it so it helped me as a person too.
Dr. Levington is a wonderful professor. She deeply cares about her students. I talked to her a few times via emails about my mental illness and the class was about human and animal bonding. She takes time to get to know the students and help.
I took the class because it fit my schedule. I am not a Harper student so I didn't know anything about her. But I am really happy I wound up with her. She's smart as a whip, well prepared, and really funny. A better prof than the profs at my university! Passionate about psychology and you can tell she cares about you not only about your work.
Lectures are clear and interesting. She is quiet but kind of hilarious. Lots of reading. Some extra credit opportunities. To do well, you have to reallythink about the topics and concepts. Then there are some group work activities. You are graded on essays and research and group work and presentations. I liked it. Not an easy class but a good one.
You should take her. She is quiet but funny and really good at teaching and cares so much about her students. Grading is fair and so is the homework. Dr. Caryn took time with me even when I had a serious health problem. I had some hardships and still did well because of the help she gave me. Trying to take her again because I learned a lot.
This is a good, interesting class. Theory and practice are covered. Very caring and upbeat. Used text book was fine for me. She is a doctor plus teaches well and has graduate and undergraduate students so she really knows her stuff. Only complaint is she does not teach full time because she is a doctor working out in the field.
You should take her if you can. Class is good . Grading is fair. Textbook is not the best but also not the worst. You do need to attend and she notices if your not there. I learned alot and even though it was very early in the morning I looked forward to class every day. She works in a way to make you a better student.
This class was required but became one of my favorites. Prof has talent and great passion for teaching and psychology and knows her stuff. Very kind. Great sense of humor. Took extra time to talk to us before and after classes and even sent us extra articles and things related to class. Uses different ways to hold our interest, cares what we think
My friend took Dr. L and he told me to take her, too. Glad I did. Just recommended her to another friend. Online class. Interesting stuff and I got along well with her. Not a lot of pointless busy work like some online classes, either. Lots of good discussion. We got into some things. I learned but also had fun. She is also funny - a plus.
Great class. All psych professors are a little bit nuts LOL. Liked the class and Prof. C. Assignments took effort but were fair not overly tough. Had trouble getting to the accommodations department at Harper. Prof gave me tips and feedback & that was for the whole summer and she supported me. She is funny and smart and A+ .
Long after the class was over Doctor L wrote me letters of rec so now I am on RMP to write her one. It's simple. Harper is lucky to have her, and if you take her, you will be, too. That's pretty much it. Grading is clear and fair and she knows her stuff & gives a damn. Plus she is funny. If I could would take lots of PSY classes with her.
Class was online and workload was fair. I enjoyed and learnt from it. I also like the discussions and the book was ok but the discussions were interesting and made you think. She gives lots of feedback and tells you what you need to do to get a good grade so I started off just ok but finished with an A because of the encouragement.
Overall I liked it. She was good to me and the class was alright but I found out I don't like taking online classes and the textbook was pricey and not so great. Prof more interesting than the text. Would have liked to meet others in the class but it was all online and I skipped orientation which was not the best idea. Would take her again.
Saw Dr. Caryn on campus and want to give a shout-out. She's best one at Harper and happy I took her. She's got your back. I learnt a lot about psychology about life and about myself. Did I mention I am psych major? Take her - you'll love it
GREAT class GREAT prof very funny and really helpful.
Good class good book good prof. Good lextures; she made it interesting.
Enjoyed this class waaay more than I thought I would. I work full time so I took this because it was online, not because I like Psych. I am tech savvy but had some issues with Blackboard. She interacted with us A LOT and helped me all the way from research to technology. A bit shout out for Dr. L !Best online teacher I had and would take her again.
learnt so much and would take again.
My favorite class at Harper was the animal bond psychology class. It is on campus and also online. I am studying marine biology and the class helped me. Loved her and the other teacher Bill. They are caring and knowledgeable. Plus very funny, too Highly recommend.
For each week, you need 1 discussion post and 4 commenting posts on others. She is the nicest person I have ever known. If you're dedicated and are willing to put in time to read and do the posts you should be fine. She is more than willing to work with you with any questions you may have, if you need an online psych class, TAKE HER!!!
Adult psychology online. I took other online classes which were blow offs because it was online but LOL not with her the same work as in person class. I did learn a lot and I like her. Even without in person she gave support and good feedback to me and is generous and kind with her time. Helped me with APA styole. Would rec her and take again.
Even though I am an adult stu this class is the first time I had to write a research paper. I am a soc major though so I knew I needed to figure this out. Plus I want to go to grad school. She was patient and great. She taught me how to write a research paper. I learnt so much!
Study of mental illness - you know "what makes people tick". It's alot to cover. Grading is fair. Teacher is funny and engaging and knows her stuff. Doesnt just read off powerpoints. She gets to know you. She is a doctor and knows what she is talking about. You have to write and present and you will work for it but its worth it. Take the class!
My best prof at Harper and I had a lot of good ones. She is amazing and you should take her if you can! You will learn so much and she is one of the most caring people I have ever met. Goes out of her way and knows so much about psychology. To top if off she is a real psychologist, too. Most of them are nut jobs LOL.
Two things in school I hate: math and psychology. You can put yourself to sleep from it. Dr. C is one of the better profs at Harper. I took her awhile ago but recommend her. I still hate math but hate psychology a little less cause of her. She has a way of making something boring less boring and she should teach math too!
I needed this class for grad school and took it at Harper College. I thought it would be a cakewalk but this is not your usual online class. Dr. L makes you work for it. She interacts with you all the time. She provides tons of feedback. She values her students and even online you can tell she cares about you.
One of the better classes and teachers at Harper College. Get ready to read, write, and get on the discussion boards. Each week a different topic and one week builds on the next. You get to learn all about adolescence and it reminds you of life and growing up. It was a fun class. I even liked the midterm and final. Dr. C is too smart and funny.
Good prof but mixed bag coming to Harper. Well crafted lectures She puts time and care into teaching and it shows. As good as any teacher I have had at Harper or elsewhere. But, I do not like Harper College. I took it as a summer course and the college is big and impersonal. I felt like a number. So A to the teacher but ? For Harper.
It is online class. It is interesting but you have to read and participate and write a research paper. You get to pick a topic what you like to write about but WTF I hate! !writing! The prof is ok but believe me you cant just blow off the class. Would not take again now I know who to take so I can blow off plus I wait to the last minute.
Simply a phenomenal teacher. Dr. L taught me so much . Lots of feedback plus she wrote a great letter of rec for me even a year after I took her that helped me get into grad school. I took the course online. Unlike a lot of profs she is very prepared but she is also flexible. Knows her stuff. Passionate about psychology and about teaching.
This is such a fun class ! Different assignments so many ways you can do well so you can get a good grade if you put in the work. It's online. Dr. Caryn is hilarious and likes to challenge you and you will learn plus it is fun to think back on your teenage years and it makes me do better with my younger sibs. really liked it would take again.
Take her if you can. I took her for PSY 101 a few years back. I was not a good student and had no major. She inspired me and helped me discover Psychology. She is interesting and kind and makes class more than a class if you know what I mean. She speaks to you as a person. And...I was accepted for a masters in Psych and might go for the Ph.D!
Informative and interesting. Enjoyed it completely! Prof is engaging and upbeat, cares, and well prepared. Gets you involved. You have to work, but I would take her again in a minute.
Solid choice & glad I took the class at Harper. It's online. Dr. L is as good as the profs at my 4 yr. You will learn a lot. Would definitely take her again.
She is a rock star! Had to take the class but loved the class and the prof made it so enjoyable. She gives amazing feedback with lots of detail and really cares about us students.
First online teacher who works with you and gets into discussion and several topics weekly. Really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Only thing I would change is the text which is ok but has parts that are a little boring
I really like this Professor, but unfortunately only met her once, rest was online. Have to read 2 chapters a week and do discussion board (5 a week on 4 separate days). It's not as bad as it sounds though, can do it pretty quick. Then 1 midterm paper (3 pages) and 1 final paper (APA style 5 pages). Super sweet and caring, gives great feedback!
Really liked my class this semester. Would take her again in a heartbeat. You will work but you will learn a lot more than you expect. Not an average class. She did some extra stuff for me to help with a family situation I had this semester, too. A plus is that she is very funny. I am Pre-med and will use what I learned in this class in my career.
Professor Levington, has you organized from day one. Go to orientation! It's worth it! This class is very structured and the bonus is that you get the most prompt feedback, and grading ever! She is insightful, respected, respectful, caring , knowledgable, and accessible. I learned a lot, and read a lot.
Heres the scoop: she is not easy but it is a good class and you will learn learn learn and learn. She makes the class organized and upbeat. Gave lots of feedback and helped whenever I asked. I never felt it was a cakewalk but I felt like I was finally in a real college class with a real prof who gave me respect but also expected me to do my work.
One of the best classes I have taken anywhere. Its online only at Harper so you only get to see Dr. Karen once at orientation but you will get a lot of contact from her trust me. You have to do weekly assignments plus a midterm and a final. The final is hard but she guides you. You can succeed and do great if you read and work.
I liked this class a lot. I would take her again. It is online and you do have to participate. But I liked it so I did. She is very generous person with time and feedback. You learn psychology and you learn of yourself.
Adolescent Psych. I took it cuz I work with teens. My boss recommended it. Turns out it is a great class. Reminds me of my days figuring who I was and how I went into adult life. You will like it. You get to think and go back into that time. You get to read and it is engaging. Dr. Caryn is helpful and one of the kindest people. Take the class!
Dr. L is by far my favorite prof at Harper. This class had a lot of info but she is organized and it is a fun. Class to take. She is inspiriting and interesting. She knows of psychology and also is into humanities and stuff. So it is more than just psychology but you will get a lot of that too. I want to take another class from her.
BIG SHOUT OUT to Dr. L! Great class great prof and you can take it online! Its fun and you can learn about teenagers and psychology. I learnt alot. Book is just ok. You do have to work and its online. But it is a great class and I really enjoyed. Dr. L is helpful and I workd with her and that helped too. You will likeit
I liked it andreally like her.
My favorite class ever at Harper. Karyn and Bill teach it together. They are fun and kind. We learnt about animals and the environment and careers & ecology. It was excellent and wish there was another class on this subject like part 2 because I would take it. I would even take this class again cause it is that good. Plus I love love love animals!
Well organized class on adolescents. Engaging and informative. Book is just okay. Teacher is kind and will work with you to help you do well. Very clear grading system. Recommend!
By far my favorite teacher at Harper. She is so good at what she does. And she is a gem, and better than the profs I have at my 4 year U. If I still lived near Harper I would take her again and again and again because you learn so much and she is serious but also very funny.
Everyone should take this class. It teaches about growth and life and health and dying and everything. It is useful info. She organizes it well and it is clear. I never lost interest.
She is very good teacher and caring person
One of the best professors I have had at Harper so far. Take one of her classes you won't regret it. Her grading criteria is very clear and makes it easy to pass the class.
This is the class if you like to study teenagers. You can take it longer but I took it in eight weeks so it went fast. It is a lot of material to cover but its good. I like the prof and the class. I did not like the book. The prof saw me outside class that was nice it helped me do better on my work. You have to do APA not MLA.
interesting class. You get to learn some info about PSY, there are quizzes and an essay and some class exercises that I liked. She is good teacher and you get a lot of feedback you can go to office hours. you can tell she is passionate about this stuff. It is required class I liked it anyway.
You will learn a lot if you take her. I did not like class at first it is psych and I dont like psych or soc or eng or math or any history kind of thing. Then its weird i look forward to it every week its not like me LOL. She is funny too and kindest person. sad class is ending it is good
it was good
This was a great class. Some of it is blended so you go to class then you go online so it worked with my work schedule. There is writing presentations and quizs. She is very knowledgable about psychology. Generous with us. Fun, too. Cares about us you can tell. Worked with me so now I know how to write a research paper. Take her it is worth it.
Dr. L is DA BOMB! She gets it. IT you know. I mean, US! You gotta show up and do your work but it is kinda fun. You get quizzes and writing and you gotta present to class but it was fun LOL I must be crazy but I miss going to class.
THE BEST! I absolutely love her, and I couldnt recommend her more. Discussion boards are necessary to do well, but the topics are so interesting, I always loved posting every week. Midterm & final are 5 page papers, but Caryn is a fair grader, and gives amazing feedback. I was genuinely so sad when the semester was over, I loved this class so much
I took her last year for PSY 101. Half of it was live half of it was online so they call it blended. It was a great class. The best part was the teacher. She is funny and knows her stuff and makes it come to life and relates it to stuff that matters in life and to us students. Feedback was helpful for her class but also for all of my classes.
Dr. C is good there is no doubt the best part is she includes everyone in discussion and and she is upbeat and efforts to welcomes you to participate. The only bad part is you need to attend but I guess that is part of college or work or anything.
I just took her. She is a gem. Wonderful. She went out of her way for me before and after the campus closed for pandemic. Stayed after hours. Helped with stuff after the pandemic when my family had some hard times. Accomodated me. I miss seeing her and I already miss this class. I learned a lot and will take her again if I can.
I took the class awhile ago and with the COVID got stressed out. I pulled out my notes from class. We learnt how copping strategys work and this class taught me so much. It helps me now and my sister too. She is a real teacher and also a real doctor not sure why she works at Harper but she was one of my best. Highlie recommendd
This professor is very sweet and really cares about her students. As long as you do the homework you get full credit even if you scored horribly on the "quizzes". 1 research paper. 3 pages. Attendance necessary. Only downside are her lectures. She has that voice that can put you to sleep. Besides that, she is very knowledgeable about the topic.
I liked this prof. She knows a lot about psych and is passionate about it. I liked her voice too. She has a radio voice LOL . Great lectures. The best part is 'tho she is hard but you learn from her and I looked forward to class. I would take her again - even again and again. And she is also nice and takes care of us students.
I needed to take this class academically but also I am a person from a family with mental illness. Dr. L really gets it. She knows her stuff. Very kind and gets back to you right away. Lectures are online and so interesting. I think my whole family should take this class because you learn about illness but also health.
Great class great teacher. Good info and I would take this class again cause I liked it that much.
Dr. Caryn is a good teacher. Liked the class. She is very kind person and when I got sick she was support of me. I able to finished class because she helped.
The class was in person but we went online after the pandemic at Harper. She was my fave and I like the in person best but she is also good with online. Makes the PSY class upbeat and positive clearly cares about her students. Fun and funny. I dont even like PSY but I liked it. Grading was clear cut. You do have to do the work but thats life LOL.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER! I had the opportunity to take two psychology classes with her over the summer and she is the best! There was only discussion board to do every week and few replies, and there were midterm and final papers and that was it. It was so easy to understand the material and she is very responsive. A definite recommend!!
I LOVED IT! You will pass if you do the work. She is not a tough grader and the work is simple. I took her classes over the summer and all there was, was a discussion board. For the midterm and the final itt was paper. If you do that, its an easy A. Definitely take her class! Youll be happy you did!
This class is amazing. It was very interesting. There is 1 quiz every week (You can quizlet it) and 4 discussion boards throughout the semester. I would definitely recommend. If you put in the effort she will not let you fail. I would definitely recommend this professor to anyone who needs to take a psych class.
Class was not a cakewalk but not unreasonable work. You have to read carefully and research. Interesting stuff. Covers mental health and illness and stress. Covers the good things and the bad things about mental health models and the way people are treated - or not. Looks at bias, inequality Recommended!
Such an absolute gem! 100% recommend taking her class. Super sweet and motivational
Its hard to grade her because I took her online, Im sure she is amazing for in-person lectures but online it was a little too easy. But she is so nice and she is always sending weekly emails to remind us that she is there for us if we need help. She is also extremely experienced in her field. Im taking her again this semester.
I took her online too and I liked it a lot. It is not hard but you need to get your work done. I took it as a late start so you have to keep up with the work each week too. If you like psychology this is a very interesting class. It gives good food for thought. Also she gets right back to you and she wants you succeed if you do the work you can.
Amazing professor, I took her for adolescent and adult psych. Participation matters, you have to be active on the weekly discussion boards to do well. Midterm and final are simple, you have many topics to choose from. Shes an easy grader, and gives good feedback as well. Take her! Especially if youre a psychology major, shes the best @ Harper
Post 5 times in a DB each week over 3 days which is 2-3 hrs of work total. Post earlier in week, she'll comment. 2 essays, but you have a wide variety of options. She is very understanding if you send her an email. Do quality work. Need a textbook, but she gives free version, so no need to buy one. Enjoyed it! I can't stress enough to take her!
Loved the class! Dr. Caryn is engaging and very kind. She is a Psychologist, too so really knows her stuff about abnormal psy. Spends a lot of time with you even tho' it's online. Gets back to you right away and wow lots of good feedback. She doesn't dumb down the topic and I like that since I am premed I will take her again if I can. She is a gem.
Take her if you can! Weekly DBs, post 5 times comment on 2 peers' posts, not long, 1 midterm and 1 final essay on practically anything about adolescents, no quizzes/tests/exams. Yes, textbook, but she gives it to you. She made me more certain about pursuing adolescent psychology. Best class you will take. Work hard, do your best, and you're golden.
Dr. L is unique. She gives feedback in a kind direct way so that you can learn but not feel bad when you make a mistake (I made a lot LOL). Supportive. You can really grow in the class but you do have to do the work. It taught me about information and things I need to now like my mental wellbeing and illness and things I struggle with. Recommend!
Professor Levington is a gem in the psychology department, you will not regret taking her. Participation matters, a large portion of your grade is posting and commenting on the discussion boards, so you have to stay on top of it. She is not a hard grader at all, essays are fairly easy. Do your work and youll get an A, her expectations are clear.
she knows her stuff and then some. Great teacher. Class goes by too fast you want it to last longer. Dr. C is also one of the kindest, smartest, & wisest persons I have ever met. Funny too. You cant go wrong taking her. You will learn so much.
If you want to learn about teenagers she is the one to take. I loved this class! I still think about it especially as my kids grow older. Even though it was online I felt connected to Dr. C and to the other students more than in any other class. . It was amazing and I would take it again if I could.
Taken during summer online. Course was easy enough be aware of the dates for midterm but other than that just some reading and a quiz every week at you leisure can go ahead or stay with the flow of course accommodating to late work will take half off but its better than nothing. Test time may scare you but don't overthink it
Class was better than most and interesting too. You can do well if you do the work. It is focused on mental health so everyone should take it and know this kind of stuff. Teacher is understanding, gets back to you right away and is very accessable.
She was a little hands-off compared to some of my other profs this semester, but this was an online class, so it was to be expected. The work is manageable and exciting. Just make sure you watch the due dates. Overall, I'd recommend taking this class. It's a nice intro into all the different aspects of psych!
Had Dr. L a few semesters ago and will try to take her again. Class was great. I felt connected to her and to the class. Textbook is FREE! Lectures were interestingShe was always there for me even when I had family stuff happen and my work fell off. Encouraging, kind, and good ideas about how to help me raise my grade and guess what - I got an A!!!
Material can be time consuming at times but it is very clear what your weekly homework consist of. She will upload either a presentation or links to websites for you to read, you take your own notes and then take a weekly quiz of 10 questions. Depending on the topic you will be have discussion post but they are very easy to understand
I enjoyed class more than I expected. Psychology is interesting who would have guessed lol. Presentations, class discussions, group work and individual feedback and quizzes and a final exam. I did very well you have to do the work but it wound up being worth it. recommend!
Class was very organized. Manageable and clear expectations. Reasonable workload. Excellent lectures and dr c ties things together in ways that make sense and give you themes to study. She is easy to reach and supportive to me. The textbook is a free open educational thing, I liked this class best of all my college classes so far.
Levington will be the easiest professors youll have. Very very clear grading criteria. Her class is all set up by week and everything is available to the end of the semester. Easy work. Read textbook, take quiz, do a few discussion posts, final exam. Syllabus is 100% direct!
I finished classes and went to rate my profs. She was my fave, hands down. I did not wantto take this class but turns out it is Intresting and prof new her stuff and there when you need her. She is funny too.
easy class, would take again 10/10 times
An organized prof who is knowlegable and kind and will work with you. She is not easy but grading is clear read the syllabus and do your work you are good to go. Passionate about PSY and it made me want to learn. All of my teachers at Harper are good this year and some are great like Dr. C. I will miss this class!
Prof. Levington is amazing! I took her online class and she always stays connected to students via class discussions and always posts clear announcements for the week. Her lectures and tests/ quizzes were great and not overwhelming or very difficult. :)
Take this class online. Nothing else needs to be said. Workload was light with one short quiz every week, a few discussion boards, and a pretty easy final.
Take the animal class if you can! They dont always offer it but it was the best ever, period! It was so intresting and two professors teach it Caryn and Bill. It taught me so much and hands down best class at Harper or anywhere. I left Harper butDr. Caryn is one of the kindest people ever and crazy smart. If you love animals this one is for you!!!!
Good class great prof what else do you need to know - uses free text and class is interesting. grading is fair and class is no cake walk but it is the usual. You have some quizzes, a final, some writing essays and discussions and it is well organized. She is fun and will support u!
Took her awhile ago and hope to take her again. She is very, very good kind of a scholar for Harper.
Class was fantastic. I learned about PSY and also about me! And - my partner - and - other people and work - PSY applies to so much. Dr. C is upbeat and positive and knows her stuff. Gets back to U right away. I did not think I would like this class (I had to take it) but wow I really did and am sad it is over. LOL I want to take more PSY classes!
Such a great professor! A lot of the quizzes was on quizlet and if you do need help with anything you can email her and she'll get back to you in 24 hours.
I had taken classes with Prof. Levington before and really enjoyed them. This class was no different, and she continued to bring lots of attention and energy to the course despite it being online. My only complaint was that the Lumen Learning software integrated into Blackboard was a nightmare and not intuitive at all.
Brilliant class - I enjoyed it and now I "get" what mental illness really is. Class went in depth. The Lumen text was easy for me to use - teacher is there to help and interesting and engaged. She loves what she does. Made me realize we need to learn about mental illness and mental health so that we can be more understanding of one another.
She's very understanding. Her content is easy to grasp and expectations are clear. Definitely take her class.
Excellent prof excellent class. I did not like my other classes or teachers half as much. I liked the course materials too. It was online and I felt connected anyway plus it worked with my schedule.
A requirement for degree so I take the class thinking I blow it off. Go figure I learnt something. There is homework but not too much the usual. She cares & helps and give good feedback on stuff. Tech stuff too. Interesting class Recommend!
I took her psychology summer class, she was very kind and friendly, she was very organized with the blackboard, and replied to all of my emails, participation matters tho other than that she's awesome. You won't regret taking her class.
I took the 8 week version. It was a lot to cover in 2 months but class was just awesome. Well organized and even tho it was online I was connected to everyone. I learned a lot. I like the discussions we had in class too. It is informative and now I understand about mental health more. Dr C is kind & understands her stuff. The best teacher!
This is an easy course, however quizes decide most of your points. Everything is due by saturday and work is given over break. She'll say theres no quiz but there will be a quiz posted. Final is worth 330 points it will either make or break your grade, no matter how well you've done. No notes/lectures/study guide is provided for the final.
I loved this class. It was not easy but it was not hard. Her expectations were clear and you have to read the syllabus and course announcements. Lots of changes to succeed. There was no work assigned over break. I liked the discussion boards the most. Highly recommend.
Good class its interesting and organized. The info is good to know for now but also you learn of history of psychology studies. It is not hard you get to talk online and there are lectures quizzes readings and great videos and also the final. The tests are not hard if you do the work. Her expectations are clear and you can do well just do the work.
One of my favorite classes ever. Full of information and also wisdom and sensitivity. Class is easy to follow and organized. She is very easy to get hold of. Creative and fun too. I will try to take her again.
Shout out to Dr. L! Liked the class and her. Had to take it for my major did not know what 2 expect. It is easy just read the syllabus do the work. She send email twice a week or sometimes more and worked with me whenever I needed. Gets right back 2u. recomend!
Prof gives food for thought about mental health and mental illness. Passionate about topic. She makes you go deeper than I thought. It was a lot to cover in 8 weeks bur worth it. My bro has MI now I know more. Dr. L is funny and smart and gives good lectures and feedback. Very easy to reach, laid back. I will try to take her again.
The class is easy if you do the work. Dr. L helped me understand some concepts I just did not get (I took the course once before at another college). She is relatable and kind. Her feedback is specific so it helps you prepare for assignments in this class (honestly it helped me with other classes I was in too). she is my fave so far at Harper.
Class is good prof is great and I will miss this class lol who would guess! She is da bomb. I learned a lot and it made me more understanding of myself I have ADHD and now I get more about psychology. She knows her stuff. Also gets back to you right away it is great take it u will like it!
Professor Levington is amazing! Her class was structured perfectly for an 8 week course. She is a very fair grader, be prepared to read and put in effort for your grade.
Loved the class and the prof was awesome. Very fair grader but gives a lot of good feedback. Helped me a lot to do better than usual. Discussions were fun too.
Where is she? I took her a few years ago and I still think about the class. It was so awesome! It made me think about a lot of things differently. Also she was brilliant and so kind. Made us think for ourselves. Always made me feel welcomed and valued. I want to take her again, please!
