Professor Aldrich is new to teaching, but she pulls it off well. I'm in her stats class which is hard, but she gives us plenty of opportunities to fix tests and homework. She is always available during office hours and more than glad to help. Although, stats is a hard class she was more than fair. I would highly recommend her for any psych courses.

She is a very good teacher. All of her lectures are done with powerpoint which makes it easy to take notes, and the lecture powerpoints were also available online. She was very knowledgible, but if she wasn't sure about something, she'd just say she wasn't sure and not try to make up some random answer. She was a good instructor.

Research Methods: Christina is an AMAZING professor! She is so caring and if you ever need any extra help she is always willing to met with you outside of class. All lectures are power point and easy to follow. I have learned so much from her and am planning on taking another one of her courses next semester.

She is nice and is a pretty decent teacher but she is really hard and is a really strict grader......beware.

I agree that she is a pretty good teacher, willing to help you. She was the best math teacher I took at FLC. However, I don't agree with most of you who said she is a hard grader. She does get stringent, but she sets it up where you can get a pretty easy B if you put in some effort. She is a great teacher, I recommend her for math.

For research methods, she does not give you a lot of work which makes the class a little harder. A B is not that hard to get, however an A you must really study for the tests. To get an A in this class I do not recommend taking it at the same time with Stats. It makes it a lot harder.

Dr. Alrich is a very very nice person..the class has some assignments you have to pay careful attention to each assignment cause is very easy to lose lots of points.towards the end though is very interesting and she's very nice

She is extremely helpful and understanding. Before this class math was not one of my strong points, but she makes it fun and an A is entirely possible. As long as you attend class she lets you correct you test for .5 of the points, and homework for full points. You have to use SPSS with all your homework, but she provides step by step instructions.

Psy research can be a very boring subject, and sometimes it was, but she attempts to make it fun. She provides examples from published articles to illustrate her points, and even lets you conduct mini experiments. I would recommend taking this and psy 330 concurrently because it will help you on your research proposal. Plus, she gives study guides.

I love prof. Aldrich. The class is very interesting and fairly easy as long as you stay on top of your work. All of the notes are online so if you miss a class there is no sweat. There is also no papers which I really like just quizes and tests. I recommend taking her for this class.

Nice Lady! Memorize PP Notes off D2L & Due your Chapter Objectives. Study those and you will Ace this class, I did! 95.8% OOOOHHHH Yah!

She is a cool teacher. Be sure to take ALL the online quizzes and literally DO NOT miss any article questions or you will be screwed with nothing more than a C in the class.

Nice teacher. A bit too "black and white" for psych though. Grades papers very subjectively. Changes sentence structure to fit how SHE thinks you should phrase it, with no apparent purpose or gain in clarity. Wouldn't rec taking this class if you haven't taken stats yet, as she wont cover stats material well, and grades you as if you know it.

I had Prof Aldrich for stats/research methods and enjoyed both. She makes stats easy-part of each test is open book and you can correct tests and hw. She is always willing to help and posts grades promptly. One of the best teacher's i've had at FLC, i would highly recommended her. Might be dry for psych 300 or 320 as she is very straight forward.

Easy class, but you were screwed if you didn't soak up the specific terms for everything right away. All of her quizzes are open book/online, so they were easy, but her tests were difficult. She had 'short answer' sections where she would have you describe a term and write a paragraph about it, so you better be good with the technical term names

Very nice teacher. Come to class take notes and you will do fine!

Aldrich makes Social Psychology very clear. You want to be damn sure you cram book definitions and you'll do great -at least there is no fuzziness as to what you need to know. Good teaching style, nice demeanor. She is open to discussing opinions, especially if you are prepared to back up your claims with text. Will definitely pick her for my Stats

Professor Aldrich is a wonderful teacher! Her exams are pretty challenging, but if you follow along with the lectures and read the book you should be able to get a B or an A in the class. I really enjoyed this class, it was very interesting!

Very nice and helpful. Dont miss any classes or you'll be lost. Take advantage of correcting your homework to get half the points back.

i loved her! social psychology has been my favorite class thus far because of her. she was extremely helpful, and the whole class got into a lot of liberal discussions to help explain key points! keep up on the hw and you will do great!!

She's awesome! I took her for Social Psychology and love it! She is the first teacher I've had at Folsom Lake College that actually knows that their doing! She knows her subject, presents the information well and is very helpful. Her quizzes are fair but her midterms are challenging! Study hard and pay attention in class! Take the class!

I don't get all the comments saying this teacher is "degrading". I think some people are too sensitive and take her constructive criticism too personally, but I find it helpful. She's always around for questions and help and really knows what she's talking about. The only bad thing is she has a bit of a monotone...

Nice lady. She's willing to help you. Attend office hours. However, lectures are boring as hell. She doesn't make the class interesting even though she's knowledgeable. Her tests aren't bad and she gives notes online you can print. Overall, it's not a difficult class but I'm waiting for it to be over because it's so boring

I enjoyed her Social Psyc class. I took it in summer school and it was a cool group of people, many of who took every opportunity to make the class more entertaining and she encouraged that. I respect her for that, and for her knowledge and clarity. She came off kind of harsh to some people from what I heard others say but she's cool in my book.

By far my favorite teacher I have ever taken. It is a hard class but well worth it because she is so easy to understand. Made me excited to be a psyc major!

Hated this class.Tangent city!She is great though. Class is tough for an elective.Seriously if you think you want to take this class & skate by think again.Won't happen. You have to study for exams. HARD! you'll pass if you do all assignments and score a min of 70% on them.And you can score low on exams too and still pass. Buddy up for quizzes.

She is a wonderful teacher. She makes a tough subject approachable and understandable. One of my favorite teachers ever.

Kept me interested and kept me thinking. Easy on the senses. Great teacher.

She was super nice and explained everything perfectly with lots of examples. She is super nice and understanding, isn't crazy strict, class wasn't too hard. The chapters we had to read were really long but the quizzes and homework summaries aren't difficult to pass with a good grade. I recommend this teacher!!

Class based off 4 exams,3 spss,practice problems,and final. Must attend or will be lost. Just lectures. She's clear about what you need to do. Exams are short but time consuming. Part of it is open book/notes and calculator. You can retake 3 exams the following week if you do assigned practice problems.

She is very knowledgeable as well as helpful if you visit her office hours. The work load is insane. Multiple grp projects, an individual research project, online quizzes(timed), midterm and final. Hard but manageable!

I am currently in her psych320 class and she's great! The chapter summaries are easy but the multiple choice quizzes are kinda tricky but easier if you actually read the book. The midterm and Final are online (just like the homework) so you can use your notes but you still have to study!! those questions are hard.

Aldrich is the best professor I have ever had. No, the material is not easy, but she is so knowledgeable, helpful and clear --she really makes it doable as long as you do your part. She is very willing to help, gives great feedback and maintains a perfect balance of professionalism. If this is your major, as it is mine, she will prepare you well.

This professor is very knowledgeable about the subject and is great with lectures. She makes the information more applicable so it's easier to understand. She is very organized and helpful. Highly recommended.

The class I took was 3 hours long and we met once a week. We only stayed the full 3 hours once. She's really nice and her powerpoints are really clear. There's homework every week - you read, take a quiz, write a summary. For our class the midterm and the final were online, so it made it easier. Overall, good class, good teacher.

This was my first Pych class, i looked on here because i wanted to choose the teacher i thought best fit my learning style. She is clear with whats required, presents the information in a clear and detailed manner, and honestly cared about the success of her students. If you read the chapters, and do the reviews, you will do good. TAKE HER CLASS!

Most inspiring teacher i have had. She really sparked my interest in psychology. Lots of reading, but same routine every week - read a chapter, complete the chapter summary prior to class discussion. Then, complete a chapter quiz before the next class. Loved that it was clear what to expect and you are in charge of your grade. Definitely recommend!

Lectures allow discussion to supplement reading and provide clarity. Good selection of short videos to support topics.

I always looked forward to Aldrich's lectures! She was super clear, knowledgable and always quick to respond to my emails. It was a 3 hour class, but went by fast because all the lectures were interesting! If you take notes, you will pass. Midterm & final were online. I would definitely recommend Professor Aldrich to anyone. Awesome teacher!

This class is hard in general and Aldrich did her best I believe. She is great for help outside of class and gives really great feedback. She wants you to do well. Although there is a lot of homework and projects it does make a big difference in how you understand the materiel.

I feel bad that students are bashing her. She's so smart and willing to help. I attended almost ever office hour and she was able to explain a complex topic in a way for me to understand. This class is hard and have to put the work in, and if you do, your grade will show it. If you're a lazy student- don't take her. Definitely a top notch teacher

Professor Aldrich is a very passionate teacher and that shows through her extensive knowledge of the field of psych. She's a tough grader, but you will LEARN something from her, and she's really good at what she does. A lot of group projects, which suck, but are manageable. And have a good knowledge of SPSS as you will be using it several times.

She is one of the best psychology teachers I have ever had. I started at Folsom Lake and continued to Sac State and to this day, I still contact her for help. She is extremely knowledgeable and understanding, she is there to help you every step of the way. I don't know why people say she is monotone, I think she keeps you interested. I LOVE ALDRICH

The class itself is very challenging but Dr. Aldrich made it very easy to understand and she was very clear on what to expect on tests and the final. I don't usually do well in math but she made it so the class was very doable and I was able to understand the material.

This class is more involved than a typical 3-unit class. We did group work every class session and there are three group projects, a group presentation, your own individual project, plus homework. Aldrich is clear on her expectations & gives detailed feedback on each assignment. Overall, I recommend the class if you are willing to put in the work.

Loved her empathetic approach toward teaching, but the class was super hard. The class itself should be a 4 unit class instead of 3 because we didn't have enough class time for the topic we were learning. She is very helpful and accessible during office hours for her write ups.

Professor Aldrich is truly the model professor any engaging student would desire. Her grading system is very clear and followable. Her lectures are interesting especially when students engage and ask questions. Most importantly your beliefs and political views have no impact on how you are treated. I was able to apply course concepts to my life.

Prof Aldrich is absolutely lovely. However, this class is hard so here is how to pass: 1. NEVER SKIP CLASS, 2. Go to office hrs or the tutor that she recommends and get help as soon as you start to feel overwhelmed, 3. Take good notes and practice chapter problems. This class requires maximum effort but if you put in the work you'll be fine :)

Lectures involve lots of class discussion. Lots of application to the real world. Sometimes lectures go on too long because she just keeps asking questions. Homework is easy but midterm/final are written and she grades a little tough. Very easy content, overall quite easy class. A as long as you don't skimp on homework.

Love her as a person! Always available during office hours and will always help you out. The class itself is extremely hard and its the hardest class I've ever taken. Try taking it at another college.

Outstanding professor! The material is hard but she's incredibly thorough with her lectures and takes time to answer any and all questions, just make sure you're paying attention. Half of each test is open note, so I'd recommend writing a step-by-step page on how to run the problems. Incredibly sweet and reachable outside class. Would take again!

This is a difficult class and honestly any shortcomings of teaching is due to time constraint. Be prepared to study outside of class and visit her office. She's a sweet woman and I see that people who dislike the class fail to put in the outside time. Unfortunately, it's necessary. I don't find the textbook helpful, just photocopy the pages needed!

One of the best professors I've had! Psyc 300 and 335 were two of the hardest classes I've taken, but she explained them so well and helped so much. Psyc 335 is basically just a bunch of group research projects and then one final project you do on your own, it's challenging but fun as you get to conduct your own research and calculate your results!

Aldrich is a wonderful professor! I took psyc 330 with her and it was challenging however she does a great job providing you with extremely helpful lectures and is very approachable when asking a question. She explains the concepts well, is encouraging, and knowledgeable. This is a difficult class and the tests are graded harsh but is possible!

This professor is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable, and teaches in a way that the student really can understand. I took her Psyc300 and Psyc335. She gives adequate homework to supplement your learning but does not overload students. Very clear expectations and is caring of her students.

I took Aldrich for Psyc 330, and it was honestly the hardest class I have ever taken, I thought I was never going to make it through. However, Dr. Aldrich is a great professor and is amazing at communicating. This is a class you really need to devote time to and work hard in. If you are looking for an easy way out, this class is not for you.

Took her for my stats class after I didn't take math for like 3 years. Always responded to emails, was always open for a meeting if I couldn't make the zoom office hours. Love her lecture videos and skeletal outline. As long as you do your outline, discussion, and quizzes weekly you should be fine.

Professor Aldrich's teaching and grading style is definitely not for everyone. You learn the content by watching about fifteen short lectures every week which becomes very difficult as time goes on. She is an extremely tough grader, there is very little room for mistakes. However, she is a very nice person and very willing to help.

She makes statistics very easy to comprehend with her step-by-step video lectures and organization. Instructions are always straightforward and tells us exactly what she is expecting. Workload can be a bit heavy, but it really helps us to understand the different concepts. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend taking any of Prof. Aldrich's classes. She is very caring and knowledgeable about psychological statistics. She did a flipped classroom design; lectures were 2-10 minute videos you watch at home and you practiced problems in the classroom. The only downside is a graphing website, which is difficult to use.

This is a very difficult course, however Professor Aldrich gives thorough, step-by-step lectures for all the material. She lets you use notes on the exams, and there is an embedded tutor for the class that is helps a lot. This isn't a class you can just coast through without putting in the work, but you are given everything you need to succeed!

The lectures were very thorough, and she walks you through each step. Tests are half-open note, and she drops the lowest one at the end of the semester. The only thing that I hated was the online homework SPSS, it's hard to use and graded harshly, but she gives you examples and theres no reason to not get partial credit for anything.

I tried taking this class before with a different instructor and was lost. This professor made it understandable! The subject matter wasn't easy for me but she made it make sense. Her feedback is very helpful and thoughtful. I would definitely take any of her classes. Everything needed to do well was provided.

For an online course it was really well organized and very clear on what you need to do. The professor was great at answering questions and I absolutely adored her. You will need access to a printer and personally I spent 40 dollars to rent to the SPSS program and it made my life a lot easier but otherwise access textbooks and to SPSS is free.

Take this professor! Lectures are very engaging and she makes materials easy to understand. Tests aren't bad, just do the homework thoroughly and you can do well on every test.

She knows her stuff. Take opportunities for her office hours and take good notes. Definitely do not miss any classes, you will fall behind quickly. She is fast paced but will answer questions. Stay engaged in class lectures. She is a firm teacher and keeps her class on task!

Prepare to be challenged in Dr. Aldrich's PSY330 class. The workload is heavy, but the lectures and embedded tutor are helpful if you put in the effort. Lean on study tools like Unstuckstudy to stay on top of the material. It's a tough class, but doable with dedication.

Prof Aldrich is probably my favorite teacher at FLC. Prof Aldrich does an amazing job teaching the material and is incredibly kind. She grades assignments quickly and is easily accessible through email or her office hours. PSYC 330 & 335 are definitely difficult classes, but having Prof Aldrich as your teacher makes things easier.

Love this professor, as long as you genuinely do your work, turn in assignments, learn the material, you will pass. I did the bare minimum and passed with an A. The workload is definitely hard, but the professor is so good at teaching and she is very clear with instructions and feedback. I definitely learned a lot from her class.

Really good professor, class isn't too hard and the workload is okay. Lots of opportunity to get your grade up if needed. Rubrics are clear, and her class structure is organized.

Professor Aldrich was great, she is a very inspirational, and kind individual. She has really clear lectures, and if you miss something in class, all the videos are online. She is a tough grader, and there is a lot of work.I have had three past attempts in statistics, and thanks to Professor Aldrich, I was finally able to pass. Highly recommend.
