Amazing Teacher.Only 2 tests for the semester, and they were both open notebook! One essay. Class extremely easy if you take notes, because you are allowed to use them during tests. I got a A!!!
She is an amazing teacher! i loved her.. 4 tests 1 essay.. if you take notes you will get an A.. open notebook tests.. deff take her amazing!
she is a great professor.she explains good.open notebook test. just need to takes notes everyday and need to attend class.definitely take her.
Take good notes. Open book. Put effort into term paper. She wants it done to perfection. Otherwise easy teacher. She talks a lot. Can't get a word in edgewise. But she wants participation. Answers all questions. Positive and upbeat. Highly recommended.
very nice and sweet woman. wants you to participate and ask questions, shes more than happy to answer them. take notes in her class and use them on the tests. put a lot of effort into the term paper and youre good to go.
She is very nice, but boring to the point of making me dread going. I would rather have a nasty tecaher that keeps me awake. I would say take someone else, iheard there are some much better proffessors for this class.
If you need an easy A, this is it for you. Open note test, ridiculously easy!! That being said, you will need to stick needles in your eyes to stay awake. The most boring professor I have ever had. Copies notes from her paper onto the board, talks and talks and talks, and doesn't look up or make eye contact. Easy A, but EXTREMELY boring!!
Take the notes from the board to use for open book tests! I liked that we didn't have a mid term and final. We had 4 or 5 open note book tests ! Do a good job on 1 paper.I would take her again for sure.
greatest woman alive! just make sure you stick to the paper guidelines and have correct spelling and grammer and you'll do great ! open notebook tests garenteed 100 as long as you take notes off the bored or out of textbook
It was a pleasure to be in Courtney's class. She is a great professor. She believes that cramming information is useless, being able to relate will allow you to remember information better so she allows you to use your notes on tests. Follow her guidelines for essays and come to class to take notes and you will get an A.
I took her for Intro and really enjoyed the class. Even though it was an 8 AM class she always seemed genuinely happy to be there. 3 two page papers and 3 open book quizzes. She even offers to look over your notes before the quizzes, so, failing is impossible unless you really make no effort whatsoever. She's very approachable, I'll take her again!
very nice teacher. OPEN NOTE BOOK or atleast for my class. no attendece policy not too boring. one essay and fair grader
she is an awesome teacher. she writes everything you need to know on the board and as long as you write down what she writes youll pass the tests. all the tests are open notebook. the papers you write are basically just a reaction paper, easy grader. shes deffinatley an awesome teacher to take. i have taken more then one class with her
Awesome teacher! Explains everything great! I was scared to take the class but did excellent!
AWESOME TEACHER. Not onl does she make it interesting with movie clips but she writes every single thing you need to know on the board. Aslong as you attend class and take down the notes its an easy A. This is my second semester with her. ALL her quizzes, the midterm and the final, are open notebook.
She is the sweetest thing. Everything is open notebook. 3 papers based on online articles (which she gives you the links to in the syllabus). Don't buy the textbook, I never opened mine. All you have to do is copy what is on the board and you'll be golden. Find someone to copy the notes from if you're absent though, or you'll regret it on the test.
Great professor!! She's so nice and makes everything fairly easy to understand and pay attention to. the tests are open notebook, I wouldn't recommend getting the book if you're trying to save money, I got a solid B+ without touching it last semester.
Super easy and a funny woman! Open notebook tests. You don't need the textbook (even though she said we would use it). Her test questions come right from her lecture,which she writes EVERYTHING on the board... Essentially, you write down your own cheat sheet. Pay close attention to the things she doesn't write because that's what is most important!
she is awesomeeeeeeeee... love her , very understanding. he tests are open note book. 3 essays. tests are bit hard but if you pay attention during lecture you will be fine. take her take her take her :D
omg awesommeeee prof. extremely esayyy .. got an A.. dont buy text book unless your major is psychology. 3 tests. open note book. but you have to listen to her lecture in order to do good in the class. and you have to write 3 essays.
awesomme prof. extremely esayyy .. got an A.. don't buy text book unless your major is psychology. 3 tests. open note book. but you have to listen to her lecture in order to do good in the class. and you have to write 3 essays. love her
3 essays (simple) 3 open note book tests.. just pay attention to her in class- write down not only what she writes on the board, but also what she says.. super easy professor. loved her.. didn't really make eye contact with the class when she taught which was slightly odd.. but she was great, deff take her! easy A if you attend and pay attention
Easy class. Three open notebook tests, and three short papers on articles she assigns. Show up to class, and take all the notes she writes and you will do great.
Very easy class, but lectures can be extremely boring. 3 open notebook tests, one essay & a final. Easy A if you show up and write down all her notes.
Im not going to lie, this class was easy. However, probably one of the most boring lectures, all note taking. Shes a great professor 3 easy essays and 3 open notebook tests. Take if you don't mind note taking the whole semester, everyday. Do not purchase textbook
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! 3 Tests, which includes the final, they are open notebook. 3 two pages papers. You DO NOT NEED TEXTBOOK! No projects, take notes, listen and you will pass.
Best professor to take if you want a guarantee pass in a psych class. All tests are open notebook, just have to copy a lot of notes. SOOO EASY. Lets you out of class early 90% of the time.
Approx. 4 open-notebook tests. Write down what's on the powerpoints and you're guaranteed an A. There are 3 essays (2-3pgs) and if you hand each one in a week early, she'll correct it and if you fix what she says you'll get a 1010. Gives up to 5 points of extra credit for your final average. Very relaxed class, very sweet woman. Would take again.
Her slides are her tests. And her tests are open notes. Her attendance isn't mandatory, and she gives one major paper in which she will work with any questions you have. She does assign one final extra credit assignment. She's amazing. Take her. For anything.
SO EASY! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It was so nice to not have to stress about this class. She gives you the powerpoints on Blackboard to print out. Three test (including the final) all open note! One five page paper that she corrects and gives back, you can rewrite as many times as you want to get an A on it. Oh and DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK!
okay she's easy to a degree. I had the highest grade in my class. tests are all open notebook which is easy but kids still failed. if you don't agree with her opinion on a paper you won't get a good grade. offers extra credit which saved my low paper grade. take if you're good at taking notes and understand application questions.
Excellent professor. Gives very few easy, short writing assignments. Gives open note book quizzes. Extra credit opportunities. Puts power point slides online for us to view/print. Not one bad thing to say about this professor. Pretty, nice, funny, lively, etc. Highly recommend taking her in all courses !
Couldn't ask for a better teacher if you can't pass this class with an A you shouldn't be going to school!
I started with Intro to psy with Courtney and this is my second semester with her and abnormal psy. She's very thorough with her notes and provides power points all the time. Her tests are open notebook, gives extra credit, and minimal assignments. Would love to take her again!
She is just the sweetest. If you do the work you have nothing to worry about. Her lectures are great, she loves answering questions, and really wants her students to learn.
basically the class is consisted of 3 tests and 1 five page paper. you just copy down notes from the slides and you can bring them for the test which is open note. the paper wasnt too bad but i think she is an easy A. there is one extra credit you can do which is 5 points added to your overall average. i would take her again if i could less stress
This is a great intro class, an easy A. All of your notes are prepared in advance, all you have to do is print them, and add in supplemental notes she gives you in class. 3 Quizzes you can bring your notes for, 3 small papers instead of 1 big one, no homework, and a bunch of extra credit opportunities. She's a very nice teacher too!
Professor Brewer is one of my favorites here at SCCC, her class is an easy A if you print out the slides and take notes on them. ALL the tests are open notebook and the questions are very straight forward, however if you miss class and don't get the lecture notes the test may be a little harder (she gives examples or stats that will be on the test)
She is a great professor! Very friendly and easy to talk to if you have any questions or concerns. The tests are very straight forward as long as you show up to class and take notes you will do great. All the tests were open notebook! Would defiantly take her again. Don't buy the textbook.
Take her!!! Easy A. Don't buy textbook. 3 short/easy papers. All tests including final are open notebook. Grading system is clear. She's bubbly and kept class interesting. Print the power points and write the notes she puts on the board and you'll get an A!!!! PS she gives extra credit opportunities that adds 5 points to your overall average!
I had her for psych 101, and she was great. 3 short response papers and 3 open note quizzes make up your grade. Plus she gives a 4th paper for extra credit which adds 5 points to your total grade. 10/10 definitely would recommend.
Professor Brewer is amazing! She assigned 3 article assignments, 3 exams that are open notes & one extra credit assignment that's worth 5 points towards your grade. She's so sweet & chill. If you take her you won't regret it!
Dr. Brewer is inspirational you can really learn a lot from her. She genuinely care about her students. She assigned 3 article assignments, 3 exams open notes and one extra credit assignment that's worth 5 points towards your total grade. I would definitively take one of her again.
Dr. Brewer is an excellent instructor. She is straightforward with her expectations and is very fair. She assigns 3 short papers based on assigned articles and 1 optional extra credit paper. She gives 3 quizzes and you are allowed to use her lecture slides and your notes. It doesn't get much better than that. Pay attention in class and you're set.
Really good professor, makes it easy to pass the class. All her tests are open notebook and she takes great notes on the board. She lets you hand in your paper early for her to fix and then hand in a final copy. Papers are pretty simply. I would definitely take again.
Hands down the best professor ive had, easy A , 3 easy essays and 3 quizzes open notebook , notes right off her powerpoints and write down everything she writes on the board. If you go to class and take notes this will be an easy class for you. She is very sweet and understanding and can tell is very interested in psychology and cares about you
Dr. Brewer is a great professor-her lectures are informative and easy to follow. You can tell she really loves what she does and is very caring and easy to reach outside of class. Absolutely would take again!
Mrs Brewer is amazing, she loves her job and wants you to pass. You have 3 papers due. She lets you hand them in early so she can correct them, so you can get a great grade. 3 Quizzes that are open notebook. If you show up, are respectful in class, have the power points and take down the notes she writes down you will pass with no problem!
Professor Brewer is great at what she does. Class consisted of 3 short 2-page essays, three tests (which are open note) , with a few extra credit opportunities. Great professor.
Very good teacher. Her lectures can be kind of boring sometimes but overall she is a good teacher. The only homework she gives you is (3) papers that are only required to be two pages long. Her quizzes are open notebook and her final is open notebook as well. Sometimes there are things on the quizzes that are not on the slides from class.
The class was very easy. Show up to class take notes and youll pass. All her tests are open notebook, should study ahead to get a bit of the info memorized, but not really needed. gives extra credit.
I had Courtney Brewer for psy 101 and I loved her. She told my class she was teaching child psych and I had to jump on that chance to get her again. She is the best. I loved her. In psy 101 there's 3 papers, 3 quizzes open notebook and an extra credit. In psy 203 1 paper and 3 quizzes open notebook also. I highly recommend her! You won't regret it!
Prof. Brewer is the best. She only gives 3 quizzes that are open note, one 5-7 page research paper, and she also gives you a couple ways to get extra credit that are rather simple. Her lectures are information-heavy, but she pretty much reads off the slides. Definitely a class I would take with her again!
Her open book tests arent that easy. There are a lot of scenario questions, questions are very in depth. She gives one paper assignment 5-10 pages long and 3 tests. Her lectures are pretty boring. I wish it was more interesting
I really liked her! She gives you 3 essays to write at the beginning of the semester and you can hand them in as early as you want and shell give you feedback to fix it. Her lectures are long and tend to be boring if youre not interested in psych. Besides that shes great.
Easiest class you will ever take. She's an amazing professor. Super nice and very clear about what is expected from you to get an easy A. All tests are open notebook, she lets you print out slides & literally use those. But honestly, I wouldn't skip class or at least know a friend for notes, because tests are in depth. Need good notes to pass!
This was my second class with Professor Brewer and Id take her classes again in a heart beat. Brewer is so caring and her lectures are actually super interesting. She gives a few quizzes, but they're all open notes which makes it hard to do poorly. If you get the chance, take this professor.
3 exams(including final)all open notebook. You do need to study even though its open book. You need to understand all the material for the scenario questions. Make sure to print all the slides. 1 course paper(at least 5 pages). Textbook isnt required. Great professor, super caring. She answers all of your questions, and emails fast. Take her!!!!
Very nice, caring Professor. No homework, 3 exams, 1 paper - fair, clear grading criteria. I loved her teaching, lectures are a bit tough to sit through at times but shes so worth it!! Take her class if you are a psychology major. Shes great. I learned so much from her class.
Dont bother with textbook. I could only buy it new and never used it. Three writing assignments, hand in early for rewrites. Two quizzes open notebook (print and use slides) take notes she writes on th blackboard. Quizzes multiple choice 40 question. Final mc 30questions. Extra credit was another essay or sitting in a study session. Very easy A.
Good professor, lectures can be a tad boring.. write down everything she says, print out all her slides and you will do good on her exams. Her extra credit assignment was interesting and fun!! Take her course!
Professor brewer is amazing. All of quizzes including final is all open notebook!!! Lots of notes but uses all of them on quizzes. Theres 2 quizzes that are 40 multiple choice and then the Final which is 40 as well. Theres 3 papers all double spaced and 2 pages. The third paper is an extra credit assignment which is +5 points. Hope this helped!
I really liked her. The first exam of hers is intimidating but the other one and the final exam is pretty straight forward. Everything is open notebook but you need to study anyway in order to get a good grade. I thought she was nice and caring. Lectures can be boring
Easiest class I have ever taken! All the quizzes are open notebook. She had us write 3 two page papers but they were super easy. If you print out the slides and write your notes on them you easily pass the class. Her lectures are a little boring but they are so worth it. I am taking her again next semester!
I took her for psych 101. Show up and do the work and it's an easy A. 3 (open notebook) 40 question multiple choice tests (one is the final). 3 case study writing assignments (2+ pages double spaced) very interesting to read. Skip the textbook but you must have the case study book. She gives extra credit as well. She really knows what she teaches!
I took professor Brewer for an online child psych class. We had weekly discussions with quizzes and writing assignments every so often but not too many. The workload was appropriate and if you try you get a good grade. Shes a very honest grader and shes very understand. She always responds to emails and addresses any concerns. Would recommend!!!!
PSY101 was a breeze with Prof Brewer. Her slides and notes were easy to follow, and I appreciated the open note exams. I am taking her next semester for abnormal psych. Do her extra credit!!
Professor Brewer is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. Took her course online. The workload was fair, and not difficult at all. Weekly discussions, 3 quizzes and 2 writing assignments. She was very prompt with emailing you back if you had questions about anything. 100% would take her again! Textbook is needed
boring !!
She seriously cares about her students. All quizzes are open notebook. You have to pay attention and still study Gives 3 writing assignments and lets you hand them in early so she can correct them and let you fix your mistakes for a better grade. Textbook is free its online. Loved her class!
ThIs professor is great. No homework . 3 essays 2-3 pages. 3 quiz last one is final . 3 extra credit worth 5 point each if did poorly on any work assignment. Only need case study book for essay. PowerPoint has everything you need . Take her for your psy 215. Nice professor you wont be disappointed
There is a discussion due every Wednesday, and you must reply to another student by Sunday. There are a total of 3 quizzes about 20 questions each the third quiz is the final. There are 2 case studies due as well, but they're straightforward, and you can do a 3rd for extra credit She is super sweet and offers workshops for extra credit if available
Prof Brewer was great. She has clear grading criteria and is very thorough in her lectures. You always know where you stand grade-wise at all times, no surprises. 3 tests and 3 short papers which you can hand in early for corrections. Plus a generous Extra Credit assignment to help if you are struggling. Highly recommend!
Nicest and sweetest teacher ever. She understand that you're a college student. Gives out three tests and they are all open notes. I recommend to take notes as much as you can, especially for the tests. Textbook is not mandatory but is available on her website. You'll love her!
love professor Brewer! Took her for psy101 and the tests were open book and based solely on the power points that are posted online. Other than that shes such a good professor and a nice woman!
this teacher was terrible even with the COVID19 this class was difficult she brought her personal politics into the class when it had nothing to do with the subject material and went on and on about Sigmund Freud and gave me a 0 on a paper that was exactly what she asked for this woman needs to take a chill pill and cool out and learn how to teach!
Shes a nice lady. Shes really caring and helpful. Lectures can be boring at times, but that happens often. Shes one of the best psychology professors at Suffolk overall. If you need a psych class I highly recommend taking her! I love her!
Clear instruction, kind and will willingly guide you to understand this course.
Best professor I've ever had. Gives you all of the material you will need for the class and in incredibly intelligent. Also offered help as an academic advisor and went above and beyond for me when I asked for help with scheduling information for future classes and career advice. You can tell she is passionate about what she teaches isn't boring!
This professor doesnt care about her students at all. Doesnt respond to emails or let you make up work even if you are sick and have a doctors note. My grade reflected I had a D she gave me and F and now I cant graduate. Worst professor at Suffolk.
THIS PROFESSOR IS THE WORSE. I took her for my summer classes and she complains ab everything. She wants everything to be perfect. Even if you do what she ask for she still complains. DONT TAKE HER!! ( but the class itself was very educational but she sucks)
I Took her class online this summer and it was an amazing experience i learned a lot and it was very well balanced for a summer class and you. get plenty of times to write your papers. I highly recommend her 10/10 i passed while being lazy and if i actually tried and study i would have a better grade
I love Professor Brewer! She gives a decent amount of work, but all was fairly easy. There are weekly readings in the textbook that coincide with the discussions as well as quizzes every other chapter, writing assignments, and exams. Shes easily accessible and cares for her students. I am taking her for another psych class, so I recommend her!!
Professor Brewer is good. I took her class in person and she was very nice and makes sure you have what you need in order to excel and pass her class. She is lecture heavy. The class however may not be what you first think of when you think about Psychology unfortunately. My class was not very engaged so as a result the experience was strange.
Very straight forward quizzes and assignments. Her power points were concise and gave you all the information you'd need. Overall a great summer class to take, 10/10 recommend. I wish I had her in person because I'm sure she's a great person!
Professor Brewer is great at what she does. You can tell through her lectures that she is passionate about what she is talking about and communicates her lectures well. Her tests are (At least in PSY 101), all open-note and while I would recommend studying, it's not totally necessary. Her tests are fair. She's very approachable and communicative.
She is great and communicates well. She is clearly invested in what she is teaching and is also very approachable. Only a few papers and quizzes but it's fine, they are all relatively easy and the quizzes are even open-note and graded fairly. She also gave extra credit to the few that did it which I appreciated. I would definitely take her again.
Favorite professor! She is very organized, all of her 3 writing assignments are due before thanksgiving. Lectures are enjoyable, I highly advise you print her powerpoints and annotate on them, tests are organized and you can use your notes!!! Take her!
i had professor brewer for PSY 101 and PSY 215. i took 101 in person and she was awesome! she would lecture powerpoint during class and it was very interesting. there were 3 tests and 2 or 3 papers which she was very lenient grading & an extra credit paper. for 215 online, you need to write a discussion post every week & respond, 5 tests, 2 papers
Professor Brewer is one of the best professors on campus! take her classes! she's amazing and actually makes complicated material understandable. 4 open notebook tests 3 two page papers based on the book.powerpoint slides and writing extra info on the board. amazing professor and i loved this class, learned so much.
Extremely boring professor that for some reason is so incredibly not self aware despite being a psych teacher. Goes off on tangents about nothing, wasting class time. Takes a half hour to cover 2 powerpoint slides, & will claim everything you write is the work of AI. The one good thing is quizzes are open book. She is nice, but boring & annoying
apparently all MY work is AI generated
she was rude and not understanding
LOVED HER! She is so amazing as a teacher. For starters, she is not only a psychology teacher but a way better college 101 teacher than my actual college 101. She is open to questions of all types and does not make you feel bad about it. Open note quizzes. Free essay feedback for an easy A on essays. Balanced course design! Amazing teacher
She is a great professor, who cares about her students. She will give you feedback on essays before they are due, so you have a better chance at getting an A. highly recommend her classes.
Prof. Brewer is nice and accommodating. She is happy to answer any Q's you have. She assigns 4 online quizzes with 1 week to do and 2 in-person writing prompts with printed notes allowed. Print the slides! Choose 3 out of 8 prompts. She doesn't use online textbook, but it doesn't hurt to use. Extra credit- 2 pg paper- is given with max 5 pts added.
She truly cares about her students passing and gives everyone a week to do online quiz which is not much either. She also tries to remind people to do their work that they missed and on last day she gave everyone a chance to make up anything they missed. I deff recommend taking her for any class. She is very nice as well.
haven't even finished the class yet but one of the nicest professors I have ever had has a great professional and welcoming attitude when it comes to her classroom can't wait to take her again next semester for lifespan
This professor was okay she was rude to me. I took this class online and i would email her and she would ignore my for days. When giving me feedback for my paper she asked if I was dumb because I didn't use her format that she wanted.
Actually the worst professor I've ever had for a course. Took her course online and if you write anything that sounds remotely close to “smart” you're using AI. She wasn't satisfied with anything written for discussions, literally no matter what you did to improve. Honestly not worth the headache! her tests are easy but just take another professor!
very very very easy online classes not too much work just one discussion and peer response a week plus two papers throughout course. would def recommend. liked her online class so much I enrolled in another this semester
Professor Brewer is great at explaining complex topics. Open-note quizzes and helpful feedback make this an engaging class. Definitely give it a try - Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for study prep!
Taking her PSY 215 class online. She is NOT accommodating and does NOT care about her students. Pray you do not have unforeseen circumstances, because she will not help you.
Don't take her online classes. She will say every single thing you write is AI generated, meet with you about it, listen to your side of the story, say she believes you and then she gives you an F anyways.
Doctor Brewer was very nice, grading was very clear. Consistent flow of assignments but they were easy.
Taking Summer semester. Class opened up early so you can see workload ahead of time. EXTREMELY well organized. Very clear grading rubrics. Discussion posts and responses, remote proctored quizzes open book. 2 essay papers. Free textbook provided but must buy case study book. Very interesting class. Great PPT lectures. Def take if you need a psych.
Anything you write is AI to her even when it's not. You can email her and explain it but she will still fail you
Oh boy. She started off so great at the beginning of the semester. She was so friendly and loved to banter back and forth. Then after a month she totally flipped. God forbid some unforeseen circumstance comes up she is a stickler for her attendance policy. Grades were great but failed the class due to a family emergency. She is just extremely cold.
