does any one know how she teaches if so plz post comments
She wears lacy camisoles. probably should appear more professional
I love this teacher. She is very knowledgeable of this subject. I am going to take her again next semester. Her test aren't hard because she gives you a study guide. I would recommend her to anyone.
wonderful class and professor, take her for any class that she teaches!
Wow. Great professor. This is a great professor that is willing to work with the student to get the grade that you deserve.
Easy A!! I'm taking her for any other class she offers. You don't have to buy the book, she gives you the notes, overall good class.
She is a wonderful, quirky, enthusiastic professor that makes coming to class a delightful experience. In addition, it doesn't hurt that she is very beautiful and sexy.
She is a great professor. I recommend her to everyone. Her grading is pretty easy to understand, and her assignments are created from the notes, so its at least an easy A. The test are fairly easy as well, just study the review that she gives out, and for the final, its the same questions as in her tests..Fully recommend, great teacher.
Cynthia was so sweet and so helpful, she didn't give any test except for the final and the final was open notes. Take her if you can she is so cool.
Dr. Stewart is energetic and laid back. She keeps it wild while still being a good professor. Definitely reccomended. Take 4 everything
This professor is the bomb!!! The course is so well prepared and will stay with you for ever. Take her for everything if you can
Cindy is a very sweet professor and very funny. She makes class very interesting everyday, you would not want to miss it. She is a very easy going professor, take her for every psychology class that she teaches.
She is very nice and sweet. As long as you get her notes and study with her review sheet and do the assignments you will get an A or B depending on you. She also tells very interesting stories.
Very helpful, easy A
Easy "A" online class, you ouline the book and write two papers.
I loved her class. She is very fun and laid back, but she also sticks to business when it comes to doing your work. She gives you bonus opportunities, so it's not too hard to get a good grade. I highly recommend her.. maybe my favorite prof. in all of college. You won't want to miss her class!
Excellent Teacher. Her lectures are always so interesting, you don't want to miss a class! Very informative lectures, great applications to everyday life. She's very easy to talk to and so helpful. Her tests are fairly easy, but you can't miss any class, questions are mostly from notes. Gives a review sheet, just study it, easy A or B. She's great!
GREAT PROFESSOR. RECOMMEND FOR EASY A
Very good class. You will pass as long as you do your work. Responds to emails almost immediately. You will enjoy her class, she cares about her students. I will take her again.
this professor is nice but she is kinda "blonde"... her lectures did not follow the book at all... she gave us a midterm and a final and some group work... our final was over 8-20... then in the final she brought a dog in that distracted me... I wouldn't take her again..
Dr. Stewart is a good professor. I have taken her before, but this semester she seemed a little out of sorts. She was overwhelmed we had many assignments to complete. She couldn't get them back in time. Hopefully things will be better for her next semester.
I took her class online and she was wonderful!!!!
I enjoyed her course.As long as you READ and complete the three papers by applying what you learned, you should do well. I made an A and enjoyed including my kids in the studies that we were required to do. You will read every chapter in the book and there were four exams. Interesting material...do not let the first chapter scare you!!
Quizzes were online, very difficult, and completely unrelated to what was talked about in class. They were open notes and curved. I received an A, but overall, I wouldn't recommend this professor or this class.
Class is not too dificult. Took it online. She is bad about responding to emails or postings. Took in the summer and is fast paced. Good class bad teacher.
Education Psychology Online: Great class and would be beneficial to anyone wanting to be a teacher. There were 4 exams and 1 paper due. Keep up with your reading and you should do well. Exams are tough as you have to apply reading to scenarios.
I don't know how she was before but this semester was totally different. I think our syllabus was changed on us about 3 times near the end of the semester in order to accomodate her lack of organizational skills. We took like 3 tests back to back.
First, this professor has apparently gone downhill since her previous years of teaching. Second, she comes to class and rambles about crap unrelated to the subject then hands us the test review sheets with 50+ definitions and other material. Gave us notes 10% of the time. To top it off, she lied in an attempt to accuse me of cheating on a test.
Although Dr.Stewart was fun and a very sweet person, her teaching skills were not good. She did not lecture from the book at all! If she did lecture, it was in no relation to the chapters!Much of her required assignment were on line, quizes were on line and difficult (because she doesn't teach from the book!)You basically have to teach yourself!
I am taking the hybrid class now. If you show up to the class all you hear is her rambling with whatever anyone wants to talk about. Throw away the notes you get from her they are useless.The online tests we took were always screwed up. She did give us a curve though. Very dissorganized and is horrible at answering emails.
I am a psych minor and I had a horrible experience with this teacher. She is bad about responding to emails and is always late on grading. She needs to take on less classes. I would not reccomend her hybrid class.
This teacher is very unorganized. I took her class because I heard she was a good teacher but that was so wrong. You send and e-mail, don't expect a response for a month. To top it all off, at the end of the semester, she gave me the wrong grade because she did not add them up right. be carefull. pay attetion to your grades, make sure you have al
Don't take her, in a summer class told us about the book after clss started, hard grader, no communication on why you get the grades you do.
this professor is really nice and sweet. she is very passionate about this course and very helpful. She does contact you back with emails and will give you other contact numbers to cintact her by. She does do extra credit when it comes to test. I had her for a hybrid course so the times we did go she rambled just a bit but i thought the rambleing w
She is an ok teacher. But, I hated her at the end of the class. She said if you were a few points away from the A then she will give it to u. I was 3 pnts away and not 3% pnts and she didn't give me the A. I am an A student. I got A's in way harder classes and i have a very good GPA. I hate her. Take someone else if you can
I have taken two classes from her and each time she gets worse with responding to important emails. She makes mistakes on calculating your major paper grade. Double check for yourself. I don't think I will take her again.
RUN!! Very unorganized...talks about nothing but her kids! Tests were random and info was never taught. Hope you like to read because you will be teaching yourself. You will never get your tests back so you have no idea what you got wrong. Took her for Hybrid and it was horrible.she will cancel class at the last minute but expect you to know info
she is a bit dingy, but has a great heart and is a very fun teacher
This lady caused my GPA to go down. I took her class online, but I will never take her for any other class. I could n ever reach her by email, no matter how important my question was. She gives 10 discussion questions and 1 major paper. She will grade the paper as though she is an English prof. Students were dissatisfied with grades in the end.
Don't believe the hype. This is one of the most stress-free professors at UHD. I've taken her for 3 classes. Love it!!
I am not understanding some of the ratings. If you read the full syllabus and website you won't have any issues. I find the work to be very easy. And I am great at writing papers so this class was easy and she seemed like a nice person.
I am an honor roll student or was until I took her online class. She had 10 discussions worth 10 points each, and gave 10 points pretty much if you participated. Then at the end after the evaluations were distributed to students she had a paper worth 100 points due. Then the class was over. My A turned into an F with one paper. Run!
She is not clear on her expectations and does not follow through with extra credit opportunities. Not helpful at all, does not respond to email until it is too late. If you want to learn and you want a reliable teacher, take someone else.
Grades like an English prof. on the major paper. Not clear about dicussions. Even if you think you did them correctly she gives you half credit. Takes forever to respond to email, waits until last minute to email extra critical info to class about major assignments just before due. Over complicates things. I wouldn't recommend.
RUN RUN RUN. This lady is crazy. She expects way too much, but doesn't tell you what she expects. She gives you points, but won't explain why she deducted. She sent the book list out one week before class and expected us to jump through hoops to get it on time. I think I am learning more from my classmates and the book than her.
she explained that her first few online discussions would be easy, and as time progressed she would grade them harder. Dr. Stewart is very excitable and funny with her lectures, making it easy to sit through, while learning. All in all to me her class was never boring, its was interesting, and i learned.
Intelligent woman, terrible teacher. When she did come to class it was usually late, IF she responded to your email it was either too late or not at all. Very vague as to what material to study for on tests. If you arent interested in hearing about her personal life and children as in-class lectures I recommend finding a different teacher.
Horrible experience. I've taken Hybrids before, but none this disorganized. If the tests were about her kids, everyone would get A's. Unfortunately they arent, and anything she says in lecture is irrelevant. Being vague about what to study and giving 25 question tests per 5 to 6 CHAPTERS in the book is not the way to teach a class...Avoid!
Prof. Stewart is AMAZING!! I took this class online and got an A. She grades fairly and anyone who thinks she grades papers too tough needs to remember that this is an upper COLLEGE level course!! I recommend her to anyone! I am not the smartest student in the world, took 20 hours and still received an A!There are NO TESTS & only 1 5-page paper!
Don't walk away, RUN AWAY! Take AT YOUR OWN RISK. I read the post before taking her class, and decided since I'm a A/B student, I'd do ok in her class. NOT! I had a A before the final paper was due, after the paper was graded my average was a D. I even tried to meet with her about my grade and she rejected my attemps. Proceed with caution!
DON'T TAKE HER. DON'T DO IT. YOU WILL REGRET IT.
RUN AWAY IF YOU CAN!All online classes I have taken before close an assignment on Sunday at Midnight. Stewart only opens it Monday through Friday so if you are a full time employee and mother and complete most assignments over the weekend then avoid this professor. Also, she takes forever to respond to email or answer questions and grades unfairly.
She is one of the worst Professors I've ever taken. She is not helpful at all and oes not care about her students. If you happen to miss anything. then you can pretty much forget itt!..I would take another Professor for whichever course you're trying to take instead of this one. Proceed with caution is definitely right!
Dr. Stewart, is a very fair professor. Everything she requires you to do is in her syllabus. She responds to emails fairly quick. The discussions are simple; test are hard. No study guide is given;tests are based on 4 chapters each. Multiple choice tests. Do not recommend taking course during summer sessions/ mini-semester. Nice teacher!
Dr. Stewart is an excellent professor, excellent communicator and grades according to mastery, If you listen, follow instructions, and be receptive to learning you'll be fine. I would consider her to be one of the better professors at UHD's psych department.
Dr. Stewart is a good teacher ! She wants the best for her students and has plenty of work to test our knowledge. Online classes required self-determination in the first place. Finished the class with an A. She replies to emails quickly. She has many quizzes and discussions that you have to remain active in. :) She is good overall.
Took class in Spring 14, online easy class as long as you follow the syllabus and submit assignments on time. Had a research paper due and weekly discussion( at least 500 words original and reply to classmate)
If you're smart enough to know how to research things a bit - you'll pass this course with an easy A - took it online during the summer - all self paced. A bit reading intensive, but if you're smart and intuitive, and know how to find things - you'll breeze through this class. Great prof.
I would not recommend this class to the smartest person in the world. Although the course is easy she does not respect the students and their opinions. She says one thing in her syllabus and does stuff totally different.
Professor Stewart is great! Gives good feedback and is very clear in what she wants. A paper, discussion posts, and quizzes. Very good to take. Would definitely take her again.
This teacher has changed my life! She is an AMAZING and inspiring teacher whom I hope to one day resemble. She is so kind hearted and so knowledgeable. Participation is a must especially since this was an online course. Do NOT miss an assignment unless you have a Drs. excuse. She responds dilegently. TAKE her you will not regret it!
This professor is honest, intelligent, gentle, caring, and loving to all her students. Simple, just do what she asks and expect what you put in! You earn your grade in this course, get your work in on time and everything will be fine. Online course requires focus and determination, you must stay on top of your work and it will pay off in the end.
ALOT OF WRITING 800 AND 800 RESPONSE . TEST ARE COOL NOT TIMED THAT WAS AWESOME
We had five discussion posts, and they were insanely long (initial AND response posts being 800 words minimum)! The discussions were probably that long because there were no exams. We also had to do 10 quizzes and an application activity. All the assignments were open online, so you could finish the course in a week if you wanted to.
This was my second semester taking Dr. Stewart for a class and I must say, I absolutely LOVED it! Do not believe those who rated her as "poor" because they were probably the ones who were late on turning in assignments or something. I took the class online and the quizzes were self paced which I loved. The discussion boards are not that tough.
Professor Stewart teaches an excellent on-line class. The tests are open book and are not timed. The discussion questions are easy to answer. You can finish her on-line class in a week if you want to because all her materials are posted on blackboard at one time. She reads all emails sent to her and answers all questions.
I really loved this class. The work was not overbearing and it was not a heavy workload. Although there are five 800 word discussions and reposes its really not that bad and the topics are interesting so writing 800 words is not a challenge at all. There quizzes are easy and not timed. AWSOME TEACHER! TAKE HER!
She is the best professor I've ever had. She helps you every step of the way. She teaches with so much passion, it's hard not to get into what you learn. She has given me the boost I needed to get through this normally painful statistics class. To sum it up: If you have to choose between ANY professor at UHD and Dr. Stewart, choose Dr. Stewart.
She's just an overall great human. She understands life can happen and is flexible. Never a dull moment with her.
I just finished taking this class for the summer I session and I really enjoyed it. There are 10 untimed quizzes and 5 discussion post. The discussions you have to write 1000 words for your original and reply. As long as you follow her criteria for the post and write a thoughtful response you will do just fine. I got an A. I recommend her.
Bad experience with her. Worse professor ever. Don't take her!
Special Projects. 2 online & inperson meetings. There's a fair amount of writing each week. She's a passionate, nice, and interesting prof & person, so I wish i had taken her before in person! We were confused on the analyzing stats part of the major group project, but the project is satisfying & you become familiar with domestic violence psych.
Love Dr. Stewart. Assignments are clear and easy to understand. Taking her for HEA 4380 so I'm excited! She will help you with anything. Takes a while to respond emails so beware.
10-12 quizzes. 5 majors discussions (1000) word count each. Clear grading criteria. No midterm, no final. Quick to respond. Gives good feedback. You will need your textbook for the discussions and the quizzes. Reading is not that bad. The syllabus is in line with textbook. Great professor!
I really enjoyed this class , in the beginning I saw the discussions and was like omg why so many words. I learned a lot in the class and also about myself through the readings .
I took Adult psychology class online, first online class ever! she gave all the work up front and it was due on the last day of class. You can work at your own speed but recommend working on discussions before the last week. Discussion 1000 words along with 1000 word responds (which are tough)! I made a B and I didnt do a discussions
She is one of the nicest professors I have had. The part of this class that was the hardest for me was the homework. She doesn't teach you what is on the homework so you basically have to learn it yourself & most of the problems are very long and time consuming. Besides that, she is very caring and willing to help.
This is a required class I have never been good with this type of class, but the teacher made me feel at ease to teach the class. I would take her again for other classes. Did not really use the book, no final. Great teacher really wants you to understand without looking down on you.
Shes an easy teacher and grader.
Great Prof In this class we had a 10 pg literature paper. Every week you had to turn in sources for diffrent topics that you will include in your paper. It makes it easy when the paper is due you have basically been working on your paper the whole time. Do the research keep on track no final exam. I would take her again she understands students.
She is great. I am hoping I pass I just have one more assignment to be graded. She says go at you own pace but this is only for the quizzes not discussions. One is due maybe every 4 weeks. And one paper due at the end of the course. Try to do everything at the start of class.
I did enjoy the class. Be prepared to write on your discussion posts!! We had to write an 800 word original post and respond with 800 words to 1 peer (there were 5 discussion posts). The quizzes were easy and untimed also the major project was easy too. Overall not a difficult class at all.
Great professor, very engaging with every single one of her students and gave her full attention and energy to everyone in the class
Dr. Stewart is seriously probably one of the most caring professors I have ever had. Although she can be hard to reach, her syllabus gives you everything you need to succeed in class. If your the type that doesn't need clarification on things then easy A. But if you do you'll still get an A but you'll just feel frustrated at times
My grade in the class was an Abefore a final paper was due. I exited the class with a D. I asked to meet concerning my grade, she said if we meet it will be because of plagiarism. My paper was not plagiarized!!! I should have fought this, but I knew Id pass the class regardless.
Amazing professor who cares all about students succeeding and understanding the course content. She also understands being a working student and/or parent. She definitely demonstrates her passion through her knowledge and lectures. She provides curves and opportunities to bring up your grade! Definitely recommend and would take her again x1000!!!
Great professor! Tough grader but does it to help her students succeed. Must keep up with assignments and meet deadlines to receive full credit. Participation is also required. Discussion posts, read text book and projects. She provides lots of feedback with every assignment which I liked.
Dr. Stewart is an encouraging professor, a fair grader, and supportive of our academic success.
Dr. S is a decent professor. There are a few assignments, and you'll need to know how to use SPSS. She's understanding but not always the quickest to respond. However, she's willing to work with you if you're struggling. Just stay on top of things and keep communication open.
Accused me of plagiarizing my paper, and when I asked for clarification, she would not respond to my emails. Never offered helpful or insightful feedback, always very surface-level.
Dr. Stewart is an excellent professor who is knowledgeable about the subject matter, genuinely cares about students' success, and provides excellent feedback on assignments. Her expectations are clear, and her grading is fair. I would take her for every class if possible.
Dr. Stewart offers this class online. Her Canvas courses are among the best-designed at the University of Houston-Downtown. Her expectations are clear, and the workload is manageable. She is respectful of students and responds promptly to questions and emails.
I waited to take this class with Dr. Stewart in person. Her lectures are invaluable. She made statistics enjoyable and easy to understand. She taught us step by step how to use SPSS, and I feel confident in analyzing data. She is committed to preparing students for the workforce.
The lectures are super interesting. Each one introduces a novel zoonotic disease. You solve a zombie apocalypse as part of a group assignment. It's a creative and fun way to apply what you learn in class. However, you must participate regularly with your group; otherwise, you will not perform well. She is my favorite professor by far.
I waited a semester to get into this class because I wanted to take it with her specifically. Her course is EXCELLENT. It helps you prepare your application materials. It is invaluable, and no one else does anything like this. She gives a ton of feedback, so your application materials are ready for your future job search.
Dr. Stewart wants students to have the skills needed for job success. Her course offers job-ready skills that helped me find a job after graduation. She also writes great letters of recommendation for students she knows well. I've taken her for many classes. She is by far the best professor in Health and Behavioral Science.
This class covers a lot of material. The book has over 20 chapters, so you should read more than one chapter per week. But Dr. Stewart knows her stuff, and her lectures are really interesting. You select the discussion topic, which I liked because I got to write about things that interested me. She's kind and approachable. I would take her again.
This is the third class I've taken with Dr. Stewart. I would take all of my classes with her if possible. She is caring, and her lectures are engaging and informative. She wants her students to succeed and works with us. She is the best professor I've had at UHD.
Dr. Stewart is very passionate about the material, making it infectious. I am a parent, and I learned so much from this class that I want to apply it with my children. She is a great lecturer, and the assignments are fun. She gives excellent feedback and is easy to get in touch with. She responds to emails quickly, unlike most. I recommend her.
Inaccessible, unprofessional, and rude.
Consistently gave vague instructions. She literally never responds to emails so be ready to teach yourself. Her whole course is just on Quizlet, easiest A.
this professor is horrible, do not take her. why she still has her job is beyond me. she is nonexistent throughout the course, you are essentially teaching yourself.
