Dr. Furlong is a great teacher who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I enjoyed her class and learned a lot from her. I would recommend her to anyone.
Close minded, unopen to debate on articles. But easy class, nice teacher. I do recommend her.
EASY CLASS BUT SHE DOES NOT LECTURE, LETS YOU USE NOTES ON TEST, A BIT RUDE AND UNOPEN TO DEBATE BUT MAKES UP FOR IT IN EASINESS.
I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somewhat closed minded but makes class interesting. Very pleasant personality. Would recommend class to others. Notes are allowed during some tests. Fair grading with individual and group tests.
Great Teacher, would recommend.
Everyone should have the chance to take this teacher!
Good job!
Take her transpersonal psychology class, its the best I have had in college so far. This teacher rocks!
Pretty good teacher. Her coverage of material was clear. The only turnoff was the "I am woman hear me roar' **** video that we had to watch that had nothing to do with psychology it was simply an hour of bashing men. Other than that it was a good class.
Best teacher I have had in college, if you have the opportunity take her. She's wonderful! (And the I am Woman Hear me roar video rocked!
Not many lectures since this was mainly a "group work" type of class, but she did have some valuable input from time to time. Fairly easy class. The class discussion activities were the best (especially the 20 Questions for the guys and girls activity).
Dr. Furlong is helpful and knowledgable. I enjoyed her Human Relations class and learned a lot! I also took her for Independant Study (and would recommend it only to those who love volunteering--a lot!) If you have any problems, just speak to her and she's more than happy to help! Recommend!
I worked hard for a B, but easy A if your good with lecture notes. I did learn a lot, but I wasn't expecting the study time.
Interesting, smart, and she definately has teaching down...covers what she wants, but still alot of time for discussion. If you're just out of high school, and just want to show up and not study, then maybe she isn't for you, but if you can take notes and study a bit for the tests, you'll get an A.
dr furlong is very passionate about her class. she will do anything to help you and honestly cares about her students- she is a wonderful teacher and person
Dr. Furlong is a great teacher. She knows her stuff, teaches what she wants and tests you over what is taught- rather than some unknown material. I would suggest this class to anyone that has to take it.!! Dr. Furlong is a great teacher!
I was a little nervous coming into this class because there is mostly GROUP WORK, but it was a Great way to meet people at college, especially in my first year of college! All exams are Open Notes (handwritten only) on the reading material- but exams are still really tough! she knows her stuff though and i have learned so much!
She is the best teacher I've had! She was extremely helpful, and I learned a lot. Plus she helped me in deciding other classes to take for the Psych. feild. If you go to class, take notes and participate you'll do great. I received an A.
GREAT TEACHER! Made an A in the class. Take notes and do a little studying and you'll be just fine. Easy A! She is a really nice lady to, easy to listen to in class, not boring at all. Highly recommend to anyone.
Awesome professor! Very helpful, very nice, would take another class with her. I made an A in her class and enjoyed every minute learning with her. Her examples and stories are hilarious and really help to understand the psy concepts. A++ Take any class she teaches you will enjoy it!
Human Relations, I have to admit was a fun class... interesting to meet new people and work in groups. As for Dr. Furlong, I could not stand her! She is head of the feminist group if that tells you anything! Was always late to class, came in, gave assignment then left the classroom... came back eating yogurt or whatever else. Very unprofessiona
It was sometimes a fun class, her tests are hard, she doesn't give bonus work, and she was almost never in class. She also messed up on my grade, she doen't reply to phone or email
Intro to Psych. - She is very knowledgable and clear on all topics; I like going to class! I had a MWF class, and she gave us all Fridays off! I highly suggest her, and ALWAYS read the assigned book readings. She'll give short quizzes over very detailed information on stuff you're supposed to be reading on your own. Just keep up and it's easy.
Class is too short to accomplish group work. Test are extremly hard when there is no lecture. Always guessing what the teacher thought was important for test. Readings boring. The class work was fun and enjoyable. Cathy is a fair teacher.
Very easy class to follow. Has a lot of lecture. If you do any kind of studying you'll get a decent grade.
She's interesting. She's pretty easy, alot of notes and stuff but if you study you can get an A. she's a feminatzi, but other than that she's cool.
She is a very knowledgable teacher. Her class is not hard, if you attend and take notes. Her tests are done individually and then as group, which can help your grade. She allows for quite a bit of discussion in class, and she is always willing to answer questions.
Dr. Furlong is awesome, she actually practices her teachings (she has her own Psychological counseling practice), and has been in the field for a LONG time. She brings in her own case studies and will you let you know ahead of time about your exames - which are generally very easy if you just pay attention.
LOVE HER! she is soo interesting!she's very happy, and hilarious! she'll take you by surprise sometimes with her off the wall stories about certain clients of hers in her pricate practice! very real and easy. gives plenty of opportunities (no xtra cred) to make a good grade. group tests and lots of quizzes. show up to class and ull be fine!
Very good teacher. Highly recommended. I took her for Intro to psych, Developmental Psych, Human Relations, and Guided activities for service learning
I loved this class...very easy...lets you use your notes on the quizzes and lots of fun group work!!! Would love to take her again!!
Great teacher! Her class is super easy. Show up & take notes & you should be fine. I would definately recommend Dr. Furlong!
this was a TERRIBLE class probably one of the worst i have EVER taken..its easy but you learn absolutely nothing!! she doesnt lecture so you come to class and just play games. she doesnt know the material very well. if you ask her a question she cant answer it so dhe just re-states your question..terrible class
i dont know what everyone else was talking about but i wouldnt take this class again if someone paid me too! haha thats how bad it is. it reminds me of kindergarden you have to make "name tags" & present them on your desk everyday! the worst part is people pay good money for college classes & you will walk away learing NOTHING from this class!!
I took her Human relations class and it was like the others say...Pointless! I was honestly Livid that I had to go to that class everyday; because i was paying to teach myself. gives a sheet of your reading assignments on them; which were to be read before class then she expected to discuss it in "support groups" for an hour and twenty minutes
" busy work" assignments thats she wanted us to discuss for the entire class period! and also got on to you for leaving the classroom to go to the bathroom! did NOT like the class or think it had a purpose the way she taught it( human relations)
Dr. Furlong is an excellent teacher. read your assignments and take notes and you will do good!
she is a pretty easy teacher. sometimes she rambles on about nothing that pertains to the subject we are supposed to be going over. but hey its an easy class and she is actually pretty nice.
I did not think she was very good at teaching. She needed to use the textbooks more. Thats why we have them and them to learn the brain on your own is stupid, that's what she is for!!!
Awesome teacher. She is interesting and will share stories from her private practice. Its easy to understand the material and all you really need to do is show up, pay attention, and take notes. Her tests are not hard either. Final is not comprehensive
I spent three years at tcc and have never had a worse teacher than furlong..(human relations)... she will treat you like you are in grade school.. name tags, no bathroom breaks, have to be exactly on time you will be kicked out of class room. and after missing three days she will withdraw you. she ic cranky and will not answer questions.
HORRIBLE!! rambles on about useless material. doesn't tell you what to expect. Grade is all based off of tests and quizzes. Never reviews you and is SUPER BORING!
Took Dr. Furlong's condensed week-long summer course. It was tough, no doubt, but definitely doable if you're committed to the class. She's very interesting and fun, and I'd certainly recommend her. Quizzes and exams are from lecture and text book, so if you take good notes and read what she says, you'll do great.
grade is based on quizzes and tests. if your looking for a class to slack off with this is the wrong one. Tests are prity big and usually based over 3 or more chapters at a time. Dont ever text or go the bathroom during class, she'll flip. Take really good notes and hold on to every handout she gives you, the tests are over all of that.
GREAT teacher. Her lectures are interesting and she posts reviews for each exam. She drops your lowest quiz grade.Has group and individual tests &it can only help your grade! Lectures everyday and is usallly late unless its a test day so if your 5 min late no big deal. Does groups for the brain assignment and she gave us a 100 on the oral test.
Dr. Furlong is a wonderful professor. If you show up to class, study hard, and act like an adult, then you will do well. Her class is very interesting and you will learn a lot if you try. As for all of the bad comments, I am sure those are the people who didn't plan on having to work for a good grade, and just wanted a blow off class.
She is an amazingly intelligent woman! She knows her subject and how to teach it! She actually practices it in the real world too!! Class was so easy if you showed up and took notes. Tests were not too bad and the quizzes definitely helped with grades. I actually learned sooo much! She doesn't give you pointless material you'll never need.
I took Intro to Psych in 5 days. I totally recommend this class, timeframe, and teacher. Dr. Furlong is very clear and great with her lectures. It was v. fastpaced but totally doable. I took off work, prepared the kiddos,and dedicated myself. Lots of memorization and she lets you know what to read and study.Great teacher!
She is an excellent teacher! Great at explaining the material and very interesting. You'll definately have to work for your grade but its worth it. Take her if you want an interesting class.
The best teacher you could ask for! Her lectures cover everything on the test, some reading is required. I took her for Into to Psych and loved all of her classes. All of her lectures are interesting and all of her tests are easy if you review your notes. She is almost always at least a few minutes late. She teaches a few different classes, take he
Dr. Furlong is a great teacher. She does base her class only on Lecture and quiz/test grades. As long as you pay attention and take notes, you will do fine. She gives out reviews to exactly what will be on the test.. she's awesome, changed my whole perception on psychology.

I took the 5 day fast track class. Great teacher, very clear about what to know, plus she has experience in the field. Interesting lectures. Workload can seem overwhelming at first but you can do it if you reallllyyyy study. I bet her full 16 week course would be a great class.
Dr. Furlong's Human Relations class was very interesting. Easy A if you do all assignments which take bout 10 mins each, no big deal, very easy. She is a huge stickler on attendance though and if you miss more than 3 she will withdraw you or drop you a grade level. Other than mandatory attendance very easy A.
Professor Furlong is a great teacher!! I was really looking forward to taking Psychology and she made it even better than what I expected! No "homework", but there is assigned readings. The tests ARE easy if you pay attention! Great teacher. Great class. I would highly recommend everyone to take this class and teacher if they need it!!!
This professor is incredible!! She is willing to work with you and really make sure you understand the material. I reccomend her to any student. She knows what she's talking about and you can tell that she is passionate about what she does. One of the best teacher's I've ever had!!
Dr Furlong's Human Relations class was great. She requires attendance and takes points if you're not there. No make up work. Notes on tests. Make sure to participate in class discussions!
Good teacher. easy to understand. do NOT have your phone out, she will make you leave. 3 tests, kind of have to think like her to understand what some of the question mean. I recommend taking her Intro to Psych class!
Best professor ever!! She is so passionate about what she does, and knows how to make her students care just as much about the subject. Easy A if you pay attention in class and study for the tests. I took her intersession course, and it did feel like alot, but with Dr. Furlong teaching it was very manageable. LOVE her! =)
Treats the class almost like high school students. Must attend class. I wasn't really fond of the way she taught. Pretty strict and lots of assignments.
Took her online class over the summer and she was very helpful in answering questions and responding to emails. Homework was easy out of the book and the tests were directly from book. Would recommend!
She is strict. Requires.class attendance, very strict, but it works! Would recommend her class to anyone. I never thought I could love this class. She is awesome!!
Do not take her class online!!!! She is passionate about what she does, but there is no grace for anything. If you were unfortunate enough to already be in her online class, remember to take your tests at the NorthEast campus the Wednesday assigned.
The busy work is easy points but the tests are very very hard. They are concept questions and not from information in the book. If you are looking for a teacher who goes straight out of the text, do not take her.
I took Intro to Psyc with her & Human Relations.Dr. Furlong is a great instructor.She lectures very good.Her tests aren't straight from textbook because she wants you to be able to understand her subject and to apply your knowledge to all kinds of situations. If you study and listen to her lecturing you will get an A.
Took the 8 week online course. Tons of homework on Connect, easy points but didn't seem very helpful because the tests weren't over the main material, the questions were mostly little things that could be easily overlooked. Fairly easy to keep a decent grade but you have to really read the chapters well to do good on the tests.
Dr. Furlong is not a good professor. What do you call a doctor that graduated with a "C"? Doctor. This describes her to a T! Exams over multiple chapters will have you pulling your hair out.
Dr. Furlong is a great teacher. She does an excellent job explaining each subject and you can tell she really loves what she does. You do have to put the effort in to study and do the assigned readings since your grade is just made up of quizzes and 3 exams.
Second class of hers I have taken. Love her!! Easy class, but yes you do have to attend and actually do work. This is college after all. Cares about her students and definitely KNOWS her subject. Seems kind of indifferent until you get to know her. she has high standards and expects the best out of her students. Take her!!
I took the 8 week on line course. There is alot of home work, but it's really easy. The tests are a little more complex, but if you review the study guide, and read the material, it's a breeze. Take advantage of working other chapters, thus staying ahead, gives you more time to study and focus. No essays! Take this class
Took the online 8 week class. Everything was on the McGraw Hill learnsmart program online. Very clear instructions, just do not fall behind.
SO. MUCH. READING! Take so many notes. Take the practice tests. I mentioned it already but TAKE NOTES! Her tests are complicated and timed. A 20 question exam is only 20 minutes. All tests taken at home, so make sure you have your book handy. DO NOT FALL BEHIND!
Just finishing Intro to Psych online. Great class, pretty easy. Great professor. Getting a low A. All online, book used throughout the entire course! Although the online book code might be purchased separately, I purchased the paper copy as well. You never know when the internet or your computer might be down.
Mrs. Furlong is a great professor. She still has a practice outside of teaching, so she intertwines real world scenarios with her lectures. Very interesting lectures. Tests can come assigned readings and lecture and are kind of tough. pay attention and try to focus on what she talks about in the readings and you should be fine.
Dr Furlong was an amazing professor! Her class was so interesting & well taught, I almost changed my major. She's very organized, really knows her stuff (she has a private practice), & has a lecture style that's easy to follow along with. Take lecture notes & do the assigned readings! On top of her being brilliant, she is also very kind and sweet
She was really nice. She knows the material well and teaches great. There is not really much homework. Tests are easy as long as you study your notes. Sometimes she lets you bring a note card for some tests. I really enjoyed her class and look forward to learning more psychology.
I went into this class with high hopes! Psychology is very interesting to me, with that being said this class was so hard! The homework isn't bad and the activities were fun, but the test and quizzes will kill you. You have to know the information inside and out!! All are timed so if you stress normally try adding a timer slowly ticking away.
Test were very hard for me, about 14 homework assignments over 1 chaper due every two weeks (I took the 18 week course). 3 exams total including the final. All the exams covered 3 chapters each they were all multipule question and worth 400 points. No papers due!
I took the online course. Make sure you complete each section on each chapter. The quizzes are open book but timed. Read your book and do the work. Clear cut grading criteria. If you do the work and study for the exams you will certainly earn an A
No thanks. Did not really like this course, could have been because I hate reading and did not have time through out the semester to read through the whole entire Intro to Psych book. Gives a lot of homework and one quiz at the end of each that does not relate to the homework that you just spent hours on (if your read). Personally did not like it.
Worst class ive taken. She did not explain material well. When i asked for help, she told me to review her notes online. In my opinion, she was rude and was not there to help answer questions.
Seriously loved Prof. Furlong!!! This was my first online class to take, and it was an 8-week class. She has her assignments very clearly set on blackboard with due dates. Not necessarily an "easy" class but not ridiculously difficult. Lots of reading. Learned so much from this course!!!
TERRIBLE CLASS ONLINE!!!!! DO NOT TAKE IT!!!!!! Exams are huge, quizzes are 25 questions 25 minutes. No time for error, quizzes and tests are not from the book. You have to know the definitions inside and out save yourself some time and pick another teacher.
I took Dr. Furlong's PSYC 1113 class as a Intersession/Fast Track offering. If you enjoy a real challenge, have good time management skills/study habits and are serious about learning, she's the best. She cares about her students but makes you work for your grade. Show up on time, show respect and participate and you will go far! She is amazing!
I think this professor failed to realize what an "online class" is. The people who use online classes are usually those who don't have time for a strict schedule. This professor only gives you one day to complete exams, and has absolutely no wiggle room. If you accidently missed an assignment, your screwed. No consideration for her students.
I thought this was a pretty easy course. You have unlimited attempts to finish the assignments and reading assignments. You can even check your answers before you submit it. She gives three chapters at a time and you can work ahead. Found the quizzes and exam to be easy as long as I read the chapters. Exams are easy to forget being open for one day
I took this course online. Book is expensive and you need access code. Weekly assignments due (Around 6 worksheets and an 80 question workbook) and quizzes. Four tests and the final is not accumulative. Overall easy and would definitely recommend. A little heavy on the homework but it's fairly quick to complete.
I took this class online and it was very much independent learning. However, Ms. Furlong was quick to answer email. This class is easy if you do your work.
Class is a tough A she loves to give homework , research papers , and online assignments. Shes easy to talk to a little strict . Has some class interaction and group projects .
Professor Furlong is kind and quick to respond to emails. All work is done through McGraw-Hill learning. Don't try to complete the week's assignments in one day - it's a lot. Each week: 1 chapter, 80 questions, a few homework assignments, and a quiz over the chapter. Four exams cover the 16 chapters. Take notes, read all text, and you'll do fine.
Tests are 400 points and there were 3! Also, so many assignments that do not help with the exam. the Hw for this class is unreal and so little points. My cousin has a dual masters for psch and we would average C to D's on quizzes and tests. The lady seemed nice through email but the material on the tests are crazy hard.
I took her in person class and really liked her lectures. (had to drop for health reasons) I took her online course, you basically have about 2 hours of homework a week and then a quiz. Just reading assignments, multiple choice assignments (which you can check if right or wrong before submitting)and multiple choice tests and quizzes.
I took her 8 week online pyschology class. It was my first college class, so I wasn't sure what to expect. She was very organized and explained what she expect from you. There was LOTS of reading and a lot of homework, but it was doable.
Great Professor! I took her 16-week online Intro to Psychology course, and I highly recommend this class! She uploads the entire courses work so take advantage of it and work ahead! The course was well organized and easy to follow! You can check homework answers before submitting them. I am going to take her again in Developmental Psychology!
Great professor! Taking her again for developmental psych next semester!!!
Took psych class online. Definitely lots of homework but if you do it you should do well on the tests. Super easy if you just do your work.
She gave great lectures, let you use a 3x5 cheat sheet on the tests, and the homework assignments were tedious but easy points.
There was a lot of reading but if you read and paid attention you will pass.
Professor Furlong uses the online book to teach. Built into the book is the different assignments and quizzes and tests. I had very little interaction with the professor, but I still learned a lot about psychology because the book is interactive and makes you read it and learn it. It is a lot of work though, so be prepared to read and study.
Cathy made this my favorite class I have ever taken. Everyday we would get into groups and communicate with each other. The class had no lecture. My class was Human Relations, which is interacting with others, so that's what we did everyday. She let us bring as much notes as we wanted for the test. EASY AND FUN CLASS!!!
I loved Dr. Furlong's class! We had easy worksheets due every class that we would discuss in small groups. It was fun to get to know classmates over the semester. Her human relations class didn't really have much lecture, which was a nice change from other classes. She is retiring after the summer, so take a class with her while you can! Loved her.
I took this class online over the summer. I found this course to be very easy, even while working 40 hours a week. There is a lot of reading, but its actually interesting. I loved this class.
