Professor Louie is an amazing professor. She's really funny and her lectures are very interesting. I think she assigns a decent amount of work. They're all very doable, and she gives you an adequate amount of time to get them done. There were only 3 exams, and she allows one card of notes. Highly recommend!

Professor Louie was awesome! I took her online class. I got an A in her class. Yes theres a lot of reading but if you read and do your assignments its pretty simple to do well in the class. Her Quizzes are on a program you have to buy access to but you can keep answering questions until you get 100% on the quizzes.

Professor Louie is so sweet! This online course consisted of discussions, quizzes, a variety of extra credit, free-response assignments, which are usually watching videos, answering questions and your reactions, and a report, which was the biggest assignment. Although it was an online course, I was able to see that she cares. I recommend Dr. Louie!

She's a sweet person but I feel like she makes so many small errors and it takes a toll on your grade as a student. I took her online class (currently finishing it) and so many assignments were due on two specific days but then she'd change the deadline. Ex: writing assign. due Tues and Thurs she changes one of them to Wed morning without notice.

Shes nice and replies to emails on time but her workload is intense. So many videos that were more than an hour each, quizzes were hard but you get 3 attempts, book required. Overall she was unorganized and never really interacted with students. Didnt enjoy the class as much as I wanted to

I took this class in a winter 6 week course. There was a lot to get done but that is expected in a 6 week course, she does have you watch several videos and some can be an hour or longer I recommend taking notes of the people's names because she will quiz you or ask you about a people in the videos. Other than the long videos it was a great class!

Took during winter so a lot of work in short amount of time but that was a given. Although long, all the videos were enjoyable. Make sure to pay attention to the videos because there will be multiple assignments regarding the same video. Quizzes were hard but she gives 3 tries each. Gives out a lot of E.C. Don't need to buy book but it would help

She's really nice, but she gave us a lot of homework. We'd be assigned two chapters to read a week and each chapter would be super long sometimes. There'd be quizzes and discussions for every chapter as well as video assignments. The videos would be at least an hour long so I wouldn't procrastinate too much for this class.

Professor Louie was an awesome teacher! I really enjoyed taking her class even though there was a lot of homework. I particularly loved it because I love Psychology. Just be prepared with your readings, and concentrate on the concepts you have to learn. She gives a lot of extra credit too, so if you are struggling make sure you do them!

She is a good teacher for this subject. However, if given the choice to take her class in-person, I would absolutely recommend it. It is obvious that she is not used to an online environment since she practically leaves you to read the textbook to learn. The final that she gives is a great application of all of the knowledge that you have gained.

Intro to Social Psych. This was an asynchronous class I took in Fall 2020. I greatly appreciated Louise's detailed feedback. If I did bad on an assignment, she told me exactly what I needed to fix each time. No exams, just 1, 25 question long multiple choice quiz each week. 13 quizzes in total. She offered so much EC, it was so easy to get an A.

asynchronous and don't recommend. she's nice but her quizzes are awkward. the textbook is only available in hard copy. she isn't clear about how to increase grades. will make you overshare in discussions. book was more interesting than the class - pay attention for the quizzes.

Personally, you don't get professors like Charis often. She provides insightful feedback to help you get higher scores and makes the course relatable and fun. She sincerely cares and is someone you could lean on for academic and personal needs. Take her!

I took Prof. Charie right when covid hit. I was so stressed out w/ the transition of going to online learning and almost dropped the class, but I'm so glad I didn't. She was very understanding, and I thoroughly enjoyed her lectures and videos. I learned so much from them. It was an eye opening to me. I highly recommend her if you want to learn.

Great professor she cares about her students. I took a 16-week async course, lots of assignments, heavy on writing and sharing. Quizzes every week. Textbook only available in hardcopy and requires lot of reading for quizzes. Very easy to fall behind in this class, but she offers extra credit and accepts late assignments with deduction.

Well, Professor Louie keeps it real, she's clear on grades and HW assessments. Everything you need is in the book, so make sure to read it. She also gives amazing lectures and loves to interact with her students, instead of just receiving a lecture, you are part of the lecture. She will respond to emails and show genuine care. Great professor!

Don't listen to the reviews saying her grading or feedback is not good because it is idk why they act like she doesn't give 35PTS EXTRA CREDIT. Her lectures are AMAZING.

She seems like a nice teacher and the assignments aren't that hard (very time consuming though and grades somewhat harshly. I'm writing this review though because my grade has been the same for like a month. I'm not sure if this has always been a issue in her class but half of my assignments still aren't graded which is frustrating.

SHE'S HORRIBLE, DO NOT TAKE HER. SHE IS PICKY. She gives lots of hw, but her grading is very harsh and she would give 7/15,8/15,9/15 for homework scores just because you didn't explain well enough even though I wrote two paragraphs. She wants you to explain with details but if you explain it with details, she will say this is AI and give u a zero.

Let me start off by saying, this class is very time consuming. There are a lot of assignments and you will be forced to watch multiple 1 hour videos that you can't skip. There are quizzes every week, lots of writing and reading, multiple resources given, strict with AI, and very easy to fall behind. If you don't want to put in work, don't take her!
