This is an awesome professor! I dont understand why she didnt have any ratings. She makes the class fun. Shes very corny and lively. Does a bit of lecturing but all are on power point and can find them on the website. All the notes are on the test. Easy A if you study the notes. A bit of class work and a little homework. VERY FUN CLASS

She is a GREAT teacher! funny, very helpful and knows her stuff. There is always group discussions which is fun and you get credit for it. The only homework is a "lab" she puts videos or articles that you view and write up a 1pg. d/s evaluation and reflection, due every wednesday. journals are 2pg's d/s due mondays b4 exams. Always fun & awesome

Awesome teacher. Although the tests can be hard if you aren't fully prepared, the class was extreamily intersting. She has a cute bubbly personality and will work with you if you just ask for help. She makes time go by fast and skips over most of the dry and boring parts of Psychology.

I don't much care for her as a prof, mainly because she does a poor job of preparing you for her tests. You get a study guide prior to her tests but many questions are not on there or are vaguely and indirectly related. It's nice she goes off on tangents/is chatty/likes to talk about interesting things, it still doesn't make her a very good prof.

best psych professor! for an A you need to: turn in all of your work on time, print out notes and add to them in the margins, and refer to the notes when you're studying the study guide. That isn't too much to ask since she grades work based on completion. The book is almost useless.

Good teacher. I actually kind of liked her. Explains everything really well. Too much group work. She wants us to discuss EVERYTHING in groups, simple stuff that doesn't need to be discussed further. Tests are kind of hard. The questions are way too vague/ambiguous. I WAS a 4.0 student but never got higher than a B on a test.

The subject itself is very interesting. However, the book and Prof. are extremely bias. Almost part of her woman's psychology class too much. Don't bother speaking your mind either for it has no use in her class. Found her to be very rude at times and not forgiving at all. Second consideration in enrollment is highly advised!!!

Prof. is very personable and funny, however she is very unorganized. She does not know how to structure her class time. You have to read the book to do well on the tests, don't rely on pure ppt or class activities. Also, she's not that great at facilitating great discussion like you would expect from a psych teacher. Discussions are surface level.

Her lectures are interesting but they don't relate to what's on the exams at all. Exams are all online but even with her powerpoints(that are only on blackboard) it was still impossible to get an A. She's very unorganized and missed class MANY times. Doesn't give feedback on exams. Don't know why so many love her, I wish I hadn't taken her

A lot of her classes are flipped, leading to her class being lecture-based, but it's more of a discussion where the whole class can be involved. A lot of group activities and discussions as well.
