Do not take this lady!! She is very monotone and she insults everyones intelligence by reading straight from her power point notes in class. She does not put them on Blkb so you are forced to go to class and be read to like a child. She does not interact with the class she just reads like a robot while you take notes! Don't take her!
I really like her. Class is not the most fun ive ever had but its ok. Her test are very straight forward. Her notes are also very straight forward and easy to understand. I would recomend her to any there is no reason that anyone should make less than an A in her class.
This is her first yeart to teach, I think as time goes by she will get better. Her tests aren't hard but the questions are hard to understand sometimes because she does not convey information well at times. Like I said, I am sure she is a good teacher, she just needs more experience. If this class is a core class I may take another teacher.
To the other comment, of course you have to go to class it's college and you're paying for it. She is a bit boring and she covers an excessive amount of material, but if you know all of your notes you will get an A or B on her tests. I recommend her.
She is such an awesome teacher!! I highly recommend her. She explains thoroughly and everything comes from the notes and she tells you exactly what to read from the text book. I AM TELLING YOU TAKE HER!!!!
IF YOU CAN AVOID IT, DO NOT TAKE HER. She sucks. This was her first semester teaching and it showed. She has NO personality, covers way too much material. Talks way too fast, can't pronounce ALOT of words. She thinks we're illiterate I guess b/c she reads her power point directly to you! If you ask questions, she never knows the answers!
She was a really good teacher. She gives you the notes and all you have to do is go to class and fill in the blanks. She also gives quizzes so that you can bring up your grade (they are open book). If you go to class, you'll make an A. She is very clear about what is on the tests.
take her. good teacher
HORRIBLE! Doesn't know what she's talking about, gives horrible examples, not interesting at all, worst psyc teacher i have ever had, DO NOT TAKE HER!
She uses powerpoint and you print the notes and fill in words. This is very helpful but it is a ton of information. Her tests are very lengthy. If you have a great memory you will do well.
She was the class I looked forward to. She posted your notes with certain sections blank for you to fill in during her lectures. Her test were easy and concise. I loved her and her life related examples. If you can, take her. She knows her stuff and she loves class participation. Ignore the bad critiques, they just didn't study or attend class.
Love her! She is very helpful in class and out. Tests were very straight forward. She has essay questions on the tests, but they are easy. Definitely take her!
She is a very good teacher. I learned a lot from her. Do not take her if you are not up to studying a lot of tests though. She gives powerpoints to print out for the tests but they cover a lot of information.
I took her during the spring semester in 2009 and she was pretty cool. I liked her and I thought this class was going to be easy but I was wrong. In the end, I came out with a B which wasn't bad. I learned alot about Sigmund Freud and others in psychology and also I can identify what bi-polar is now.
this class is so boring, she's not great at answering questions. her exams are extremely hard and her so-call study guide does not help at all
Very sweet. She does a great job for being a relatively new professor, AND for having another job. She's slow to warm up, but in class, she's warm, loud and crystal clear. She has lengthy notes, but that's to be expected in a good college course. My only criticism is her low experience, but she should make up for that in time. Take her!
mk u don't have 2 go if u don't mind reading through the book to fill in the blanks from the notes off of BB. um... her tests r kinda hard but if u study like a day or 2 ahead of the test u'll be ok. i never went and i studied the night b4 and made an A. the research paper was fairly simple 2 bs as well. so i'd recommend her.
I like Ms. Parker very much. Her lectures are easy to understand and she is very nice and helpful. I would recommend taking her to anyone who needs to take psychology.
I really enjoy Ms.Parkers class. You learn alot of interesting things and she knows her stuff. Her test comes straight from her notes, which are fill-in-the-blank & powerpoints. Just go to class, study her notes and you'll pass. Dont take her at 8am if your not a morning person!!
She's very easy if you go to class. She keeps class interesting and makes it easy to learn. She's also really sweet and understanding
She was so helpful. I enjoyed her class and it wasnt too difficult. If you attend her classes daily you will have opportunity to take her bonus quizes and group work which are very helpful for tests!!
Mrs. Parker is awesome. I took her for 102 and it was fairly simple. She presents the information in an organized and clear way. The assignments were nice becuase they helped your grade in the end, and the drug project was informative. I thought it was a great class. I am taking her again in the future!!
She was an awesome teacher. The tests she gives comes from notes and she gives lots of videos to help those who learn visually. I would deff take her again.
I learned so much from her! She has fill in the blank notes on BB. Go to class, fill in the answers and take a few notes on the pages. The Enrichment Credit helps your grade a lot! I will take her again!
The class was online & it was her first time teaching an online class. She's a great teacher & responded to her email promptly. We had 7 assignments(lowest grade will be dropped),3 tests & she also gives extra credit.She also gave notes (you have to fill in). I'm taking her again for Psy. 204.If you study & do All the work she gives You'll do great
An ok class, a bit time consuming. There were fill in the blank notes.A research paper,3 exams including the final,7 assignments & an extra credit opportunity. You couldn't go back to a question the exam which really sucked. The lecture videos were about 60 minutes long.
Very rude through email and not very helpful. Study guides for each exam are at least 30 pages long. In order to answer her study guides you must watch her video lectures. Each video lecture is 72 minutes long and answers about 5 pages of the study guide.
She is such a sweet heart gives bonus for volunteer work, has print out fill in the blank notes, she is awesome
Gives notes that you fill in during the lecture. Class was ALWAYS interesting! Test are very easy if you study the notes she gives you. Drops your lowest grade. She is always willing to help if you need it! Go to class because she does in class activities. I really enjoyed going to her class. SHE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! EASY A!
She gives you fill in the blank study guides to read along as you listen to her video lectures. Her tests are SUPER EASY as long as you study the study guides and read the specific textbook pages she tells you to. She offers 8 bonus points for syllabus quizzesmoodle pictures and 15 bonus points for volunteeringfun runswalks. TAKE HER CLASS!
I loved her, she was very nice and understanding. She responds to emails well. Ms. Parker has bonus opportunities and bonus questions on all her exams. I had her for 102 and am taking again for 204! Video lectures are good and assignments are easy and fun.
She was really easy and understanding. Gives great feedback and lots of help in and out of class. Gives great and multiple examples in class. Tests: 20-30 MC, 10-12 short answers, 1-2 essays. Fill in the blank notes for her lectures study those and u'll do great. Paper: Easier than you 1st think. Turned in sections throughout the semester.
She was an awesome professor. Filling the blank notes, and multiple choice tests with a few short answers/bonus. Only thing kind of annoying is she keeps you till the very last second of class, even later sometimes.
She is very knowledgeable about the criteria. She most likely will lecture the whole class, but if you are an attentive person it should not be a problem. She repeats things that you definitely need to know. Group work is assigned often. There is a proposal due at the end of semester. Beware stay on top of research. Overall a great teacher.
She is very helpful. She has note outlines you print and fill in the blank in class. Gives lots of examples in class, some of which will be on the test. if you go to class everyday, you will pass. Very few people got below a C on her tests, and those people never showed up or did their work. She drops your lowest assignment grade.
She is SUPER nice and makes this class REALLY interesting. She gives a lot of examples and simplifies all the material. She gives you fill-in-the-blank notes to fill in as she lectures. This class was really easy, just don't take it early in the morning.
Amazing teacher, she cares about students if you email her she will email you back. If you study and read the material, you will pass with ease.
Very easy test along with printed notes she provided for us.
Very easy class if you show up and fill in the notes. Not a whole lot of studying is necessary. This is a very straightforward class.
Really great teacher and very helpful. She gives fill-in-the-blank study guides that you print out and bring to class along with a couple of assigned readings from the textbook according to which chapter you're on. Make sure you do your assignments and get your enrichment credits on time. Very enjoyable lectures and taking again for Psych 204!
She is an amazing professor! Super caring and she makes it very easy for you to get an A. She posts lecture notes on moodle for students to print out and fill in the blanks as she lectures which helped me to pay attention and really learn the material. Awesome professor and I will definitely be taking her for psyc204!
Had her for 101. I am currently taking her for the Tv lecture class, and she is beyond helpful. Great lectures along with fill in the blank notes. Offered 15 point bonus, and 5 assignments, where one is dropped. There are 3 test total and one research paper. All very easy. She also offers small bonus assignments throughout the semester. Take again
Her material for tests and homework was always super easy. She provided notes on moodle with blanks that you would fill in during lecture. Hardest part of the course was the research paper you write throughout the semester but if you meet your guidelines and don't put it off, it's very easy to get an A, considering you're average at writing papers.
Not a class I would take a 8am if I had another choice but I'm glad I did. She's extremely helpful & provides examples for everything. Take her for 220 & 335, if you can.
Mrs. Parker is by far my favorite Psych professor I have taken. She really knows her material and is well prepared for class. She posts the notes online for you to print out and bring to class and follow along with her lectures. She is super easy as long as you study the notes. I would definitely take her again!
Took this class online with recorded lectures. You have to watch lectures to do well, but they are interesting (although long). 3 tests and 5 assignments (1 is optional). She offers a lot of bonus, like 15 points or something. Never met her but she seems very nice and approachable. Would take again.
Great teacher. Lectures are not boring. She shows videos for every class on the topics we are discussing. Test are pretty easy if you study and take good notes. There are 4 exams and She offers bonus opportunity.
she is amazing, her lectures are just like what will be on the test, you only have 3 test & a final! she does give extra credit I would highly recommend her
Really great lectures and helpful notes to print online. Actually learned in her class. Tests are straightforward. Really great teacher. Willing to help. Go to class for extra credit and little assignments
Enjoyed her class and actually learned something
Great professor! Always willing to help, and responds to emails very quickly. Four tests, a few assignments, and a small research paper. I would recommend!
Mrs. Parker is super caring and sweet. This class is not difficult if you study the material. There are a few assignments, including a research paper, but it is tolerable. The notes are given to you and you just have to fill in the blanks. I would definitely recommend her!
over the course of the class you are working towards completing the proposal, each thing that is learned in the class builds upon each other. dont wait until the last minute to start your proposal!! overall she is extremely caring and always willing to help.
The overall course material is very interesting, and she keeps the class simple. Show up and you'll do fine
Shes the greatest Psychology professor Ive had so far. Shes very clear on what she wants and her tests are very easy as long as you show up to class.
Really enjoyed this class and this teacher. Shes clear about what she wants and her test are like the notes she gives in class. She always gives bonus questions on test and a 5 point extra credit activity. I would definitely recommend.
All of the notes for the class are on her noodle page, you just fill in the blank and jot down side notes and if you study that youll pass the class with an A. She is very lecture heavy and puts a lot of info on one test but if you start studying a few days in advance youll do great, her tests are very straight forward and directly from the notes
SHE IS THE BEST! She is by far the most organized professor at SLU. All of her lectures are posted on Moodle (they're fill in the blank so you have to go to class). She breaks down the research paper into smaller assignments due throughout the semester to make it easier for you at the end. She really cares about her students and her tests are easy
She is a great teacher. I would take her for every class if I could.
Her tests come directly from her notes & assigned readings. Shes super nice! She gives assignments/quizzes randomly throughout the semester so dont skip class. Overall a great teacher.
Mrs. Parker is one of the best options for PSYC 204! She truly cares about her students success even if you are taking her online course. She responds quickly to emails & her tests come straight from our notes/assignments. The lectures are lengthy, but definitely better than taking this course in class! Take her if you have the option! Super sweet
I loved having her as my professor for Psych 117H! She made the class so fun and I feel like I learned so much! She lectures in class and posts notes to go along with it. Her exams for honors are half multi choice half short answer. They were really not bad! Make sure you watch the vids she posts, they are on exams! Take her she's great!
her class is very lecture heavy, it a lot of notes for the test, but the material is not hard. there is 7 in class assignments and she drops the lowest one. gives bonus on every test, but test are not hard.
Mrs. Parker truly cares about her students and their interests. She works to make classes interesting and interactive. She is a fantastic teacher. Do not pass up a chance to take honors psych with her.
I treated her class like any other class, I watched two lectures a week. I popped all the necessary information in a quizlet from the lectures and the guided notes. She has 5 25pt assignments and one is dropped. Her tests are fairly easy but some questions tricked me up. The only thing she doesn't have is compassion. I received a 89.94 in her class
She is a great professor to take--I strongly recommend her! She gives you all of the lectures and assignments and even extra resources at once. She is very helpful outside of class. She provides assignments and exams with the class and bonus points at the beginning of the semester. Her lectures are easy to understand and if you study you will pass!
Took online 102 and was pretty easy. The video lectures were time consuming, but do able and helped a lot for the tests! Id take her again. Ending w an A!
Class is fairly simple. 1 test + midterm + cumulative final. there are video lectures about 75+ minutes each. they are kinda boring but very informative and helpful for the tests. 8 assignments worth 20 points. the lowest assignment grade is dropped. need 6 enrichment credits. they are easy surveys just dont forget to do them. do the extra credit
I took this class over the summer and it was super easy. There were 3 exams and 5 assignments which were 1-2 page papers and she dropped the lowest grade. She also offered bonus points.
If you have to do hybrid I would recommend going to class if at all possible she tends to walk away from the mic a lot causing online students to have a difficult time hearing along with videos that are played if youre not in class you cant hear them .
Professor Parker is pretty good at teaching her classes. My only problem was my final exam malfunctioned and she immediately sent me to a help desk that did not answer my call. After reluctantly fixing my exam for me, she did not give me the full time I had left to finish my exam which resulted in myself not being able to finish before time ran out
There's 25 video lectures. You need to watch them to get a good grade. There's notes she gives you to fill in as you watch. 2 tests & cum. final. Watch 2 videos/week to stay on track. 5 assignments where you write a 1-2 page paper using the questions she gives. All are super easy. She drops the lowest assignment grade. Up to 3 points extra credit
Very caring teacher with lots of grade opportunities. Tests are pretty easy if you study. Lectures for most of class but also has opportunity for you to participate. Very open to communicating and helping you out with anything. I've taken her for 2 classes and would definitely take her again.
Shes amazing! Her tests are not hard if you just pay attention in class. Shes super nice and helpful! I would 100% recommend her.
I had her class online by mistake, but honestly, I wish I had her in person. She sounds like a really nice lady. I wish I could have met her. Overall, her tests were pretty easy, but I had to print A LOT of notes.
Well first of all she will not round and it's in her syllabus 89.99 is a B and she will not round it. Her lectures are a lot and there is assignments due every week. She doesn't allow you to go back to questions on the exam so if you have test anxiety good luck. LOTS OF LOTS OF studying. I struggled hard in this class.
Honestly good teach and even provides lecture guided notes for the class, she is literally the only prof that does that. I have had her twice now for lower and upper psych and she is pretty solid, her test are a little hard so try to study better than I did and you will be fine! Offers bonus outside of class and on exams and does have assignments.
Mrs. Parker is one of the few professors that provides study guides that are actually helpful in getting a god grade. She spends a lot of time explaining the concepts and provides many examples. Be on the look out for textbook readings because those will be on the test. There were a few bonus opportunities to help cushion your grade.
3 tests (45 mc + 5 short answers). Easy quizzes & sometimes assignments every week. Exams come mostly from online lecture videos, but the final included some from additional videos from canvas or achieve as well. Lots of online lectures that feel long (30 min) but she provides notes for you to fill in! Taking her online was the best decision I made
This was probably one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. It took me a long time to bring up my D to a C, and when I got my final grade back, she refused to round up my grade. This class is just overall very boring, but she will give bonus from time to time. This is one class you cannot put off studying for.
I loved Mrs. Parker so much! Research really scares me because I don't feel like I have a fantastic background but she made it so clear and accessible. Her feedback was always clear and helpful. If you take it into account, you will have no problem getting a near perfect grade on that final paper. Expectations are clear and it's really interesting.
Study the materials and you would be perfectly fine.
I took Parker for psyc 440, and I really liked her 3350 setting over the 440. She makes it more personal and really tries to get to know her students. If you turn something in early enough, she will sometimes give it back to you to get a better grade on the assignment. I overall enjoyed taking Parker for 3350!
