She is very encouraging and loving to students and fair. Also a lot of fun!!!!
She's not all bad, but rubbed me the wrong way for two reasons. First, she spends more time giving her take on social issues like gay marriage than she does on the material. Secondly, she is anal retentive about students coming back from break on time, and actually confronted me when I came back late a few times. I eventually just dropped the class

Great! I would/have recommend her to anyone who is interested in taking psych. She really works with you as a class and as a student. Along with having a wonderful sense of humor. Leveque takes the cake at being a kind-hearted and wonderful teacher.
Super nice. I took her awhile ago so I'm not really sure but I think she graded hard. I don't know

can talk to about anything.
Darcy is great, I loved every minute of class. She has probably the best sense of humor out of all teachers i've ever had. I definitely recommend her classes.
Darcy is such a great teacher. She loves what she does and she really wants to get her classes interested in psychology. she's hilarious too. she really has a passion for what she does and thats awesome. shes more than willing to help out on assignments and whatever else you're struggling with...one of the best teachers at las po by far.
What a funny classy Lady!!! Darcy is a very dedicated teacher, special person and she can teach me anytime!!! Her classes are very interesting and she has a lot of energy!!! Psych 10 was a blast with her as a teacher. She is defintely very helpful, kind and encouraging. Blesings on her students with a teacher like her!!!
she is hot and super nice. Just take good notes. Dont really need the book. She is very helpful.
She knows her business. She won adjunct faculty of the year and she's only been here a few years. If you want a fun class that is interesting, take her. If you want a teacher with a big heart, take her. If you want a teacher who is built like a brick sh*thouse, take her. If you don't like assertive women, don't take her.
She is a wonderful lady, don't get me wrong. However her class seemed 2 function much like a high school class rather than a college course. She would pick on students that were late, rather than letting them take responsibility. She tended to treat students with different levels of fairness. Take another psych course b4 having her, or u'll be lost

She is a fun lady. She has a great sense of humor. If you want a fun class take her. She is so funny and down to earth. She acts like a teenager somethimes and its fun. Our class had the midterm and final as a take home which was awesome. make sure you show up every day
First psychology class I ever took and now am a psyc major. Amazing lady, awesome class. One of the most memorable teachers I have ever had -- a good mix of fun personality and excellent teaching, and most of all, she really cared about her students. I miss her now that I have transferred out of Las Positas.
She's an awesome teacher. Though a little crazy, she's so easy going, and she makes you feel comfortable. She let's you take home the midterm and final, which makes you really get into it with friends, and you learn a ton just by that.
I love love love this teacher! She is so much fun and I have learned so much. I actually would look forward to class. I told my friend that if she took a psychology class and it wasn't taught by Darcy, I am seriously disowning her. Best teacher I have ever had!
Really nice, the one paper in the class is worth 50% of your final grade. She was a pretty good teacher, not the kind I favor tho.
Probably the best teacher I've ever had. My "perception" will never be the same again. Definitely take her classes.
Smart as a whip, funny, engaging, tough on lateness and absence, keep up with your reading and do your work, you have her in your corner!!! Another mentor, you have to be open to her quirkiness, she's willing to help you in any way she can!!! Love her!!! Another mentor!!! Keeps her students in stitches!!!
shes hilarious, you just have to be open to her personality and realize that her 'crazyness' is not an act. shes cut throat with attendance so dont be late. the paper is half your grade but it was easy and i actually kept it. you learn alot about who you are as a person in her class. you gain more then just the subject matter.
She is AWESOME! I had no intrest in psych before her class! She is very helpful, and literally goes down the tests question by question and tells you exactly what to study! Sounds easy but after you study exactly what she said, you end up learning so much more. There is a paper that is worth half your grade but it was a lot easier than I thought!
You would be crazy not to take her class. Learned more than I thought I would...Amazing teacher...wants her students to learn..The most helpful teacher ever. If you don't understand something, she will stop everything and help you. She "gets it". Beware, after you have her, you will hate all your other teachers :)
Woman is nice, but really wacky! Instructions all over the place, would never, ever take again.
Psych of Human Sexuality class. Darcy is an amazing teacher and a total fox! Recommend this class to anyone (covers the LPC health requirement)
I absolutely loved her class
She is very energetic! She loves what she is talking about and doing! She does assgnments and doesnt have any guidlines so that may confuse you a bit. Other that that she is great!
She expects you to read every inch of the book. What i hate the most is she won't ever lecture and when she does she goes way to fast. Good luck with this class she is always in bad mood and takes it out on the class.
Darcy is a wonderful person. Really relates well to the students and is very straight forward (real) in what she is saying. She has strong opinions and is great when debating an issue. Very good sense of humor and can see right through excuses! :-) I'd take her again in a heart beat.
Awesome. She loves psychology and she expects you to respect the subject while in her class. Doesn't like tardy's and doesn't like excuses. She is very energetic and enthusiastic. Will keep you interested. Just be sure to do the work and take notes and you will do fine.
Darcey is AMAZING,very straightforward and hilarious! I changed my major to Psych because of her. Make sure to finish all the readings and come to class daily- she WILL fail people for not attending. minimal HW but alot of required reading. Be open and you'll understand everything better.
Currently enrolled in her psych 1 class, she has a big personality,never know what to expect,but it makes things intresting.Reading is an absolute must!!Exams are based off reading and she will even kick you out of class for not knowing what the section is about.So basically show up,dont be late,read and study other then that you will love it.
Darcy is an amazing teacher! truely inspiring. She is hilarious and entertaining. She doesnt take excuses though and I love that she will call you out on B.S. Her office is open for her students even when it is not her office hour. She helps with everything you need and makes you really want to learn. I hope to take another one of her classes!
She's awesome. You need to read each day and be up-to-date with the reading. Her tests are very hard so i suggest you study A LOT.
Leveque is amazing. She really made me enjoy psych, which I thought I was going to hate. She really kicks you in the rear end to keep you focused and thinking. Everything she does, all her effort is for you and it is all worth it.
She's entertaining, the tests are easy but I didn't feel I learned much. The project was interesting but her directions for it changed w/o notice & she didn't seem to take it too seriously. She definitely didn't put enough stress on the fact that we were evaluating another human being who may or may not be unstable & what we do could be harmful
I think the only reason she is getting good rates is because she gets off topic easily. There is an essay that is worth 50% of your grade. She says she is able to tell if you wrote it last minute I wrote mine the day it was due. Got an A, got A's on all test. I got a C in the class at the end for missing 5 classes because i was pregnant. Teacher =F
Darcy is awesome. She was a great teacher and keeps the class entertain while teaching! She challenges you, but in a fun way!
She doesn't actually teach you anything and the project is completely unethical. People have gotten hurt because of it and she doesn't take any responsibility for it. She doesn't care. She has no business being a teacher.
Such a great teacher! Very interesting class and she truly wants her students to enjoy the class. Just make sure to read the chapters
She's an amazing teacher with a wonderful personality. I would love to take another class with her!
You people that complain are retarded, and you people that do not pass or receive anything lower than an A are retarded. 1 in-class exam that you can fail and still get an A in the class. Take home midterm, take home final. ONE essay about yourself and the only way to not get an A on that is if you do NOT follow her criteria to the T. Don't be lazy
Wow I am really surprised she has such high ratings. She does very little teaching. You must learn everything out of the book and do your own reading. She lets you take test home but threatens she is not going to then last minute decides yes. I have learned nothing. She is a nice lady and funny just bad at teaching! Be prepared to teach yourself!!
Darcy is the best! I learned a ton from her class and I still go back to see her and well chat and whatnot. Tests are a pain but they're take home so its not bad. Definatly makese you want to go to class because she's so wacky. I always recommend her! Easy to talk to and totally respectful.
Darcy is the best teacher i have ever had. she is really funny. you do a lot of activites in her class. not a lot of lecturing at all. i definitley reccomend her. but you do need to read each chapter and take your own notes they will help you out a lot!. especially on the midterm =]
Definitely one of the best teachers on campus. She's fun, makes the class really interesting, and really cares about her students. I highly recommend taking her class!
She's really strict about attendance, your grade is negatively impacted even for being 2min late... However, she is fun and energetic, you have to work hard at the class, but she is fair with the tests and gives us fun activities to do during class.
Worst teacher i have had at the college. Be prepared to teach yourself. Very little lecturing and her lectures come straight from the book. Her assignments are irrelevant and don't have clear guidelines. Very unprofessional teacher. DO NOT RECCOMEND
Not that great of a teacher. The tests are extremely hard. She doesn't teacher the material as she should. Rarely does lectures and when she does we always get off topic and never finish the lecture. If you want to actually learn the material, make sure you read every chapter does many in class activities that are useless.
I like Darcy but i HATE the way she teaches! She expects you to read the assigned chapter before the next class and the tests are really hard!
Darcy is by the far the best teacher I've ever had. She has a funny personality so her class is never boring. She is fair on tests, if you do good on the first few quizzes she'll let u take home the final. Her lectures arent that great because she expects you to read on your own but shes a fair teacher.
I love Darcy! Although her lectures are scattered you always have meaningful conversations that keep you interested. Tests are difficult but she let my class create our own final. Take her if you don't mind teaching yourself the material, won't get much out of lectures. Connects with you as a person not just a student. Very cool, worth taking!
SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER AND IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND EASY TO LOOK AT AS WELL
Selling my used text book on CL east bay books, cheaper than renting. Had her Fall 12, Show up a few minutes early, no side convo AT ALL, participate a bit, you'll be fine.
She might be good for some of those who come right out of high school without any goals of learning. But for those who really want to learn and those who are professional and mature ppl, wouldn't get anything out of her class. She knows nothing about her subject. She is good for avg. students but intelligent folks will get into real time trouble.
I have no idea, how come this lady made to the college. She is super confused and highly non-professional. Many other things which I don't want to mention here. College need to have a closer look on what she is doing in the class. There are plenty of question marks.....
It's a required class most of us already don't want to be there. It's a bit confusing,her lectures are more like group discussions. She is very helpful if you go to office hours and she really cares about you as a person.JUST STUDY! The people who complain on this site about this class being hard probably didn't. It's not hard if you do the work.
Darcy is a great teacher if you are responsible, respectful, hard working and dedicated. The tests are hard only if you slack off and don't read the book. For her every hour in class you def need to spend 2 hours studying for it.She is fun and you always learn from her classes which are never boring. If you're lazy or disrespectful don't take her.
She's not that bad, but she's not that good. She is a fun instructor maybe a little too fun and I think that kinda get's in the way of her teaching, I feel like she rushes our assignments at the last minute. Luckily we do have take home exams because she can be all over the place. Darcy is hard to keep up with so be prepared to at all times.
She can be a lot of fun, but don't let that be a distraction to your work. You really do need to read the book and study, but she is very helpful when you need her.
Darcy is a wonderful instructor that keeps you interested in class. I can honestly say that there was not a single dull lecture. Though her lectures are scattered and she lacks a bit of organization, so long as you read you will do fine in her class. She truly is a wonderful and smart professor. I would highly recommend taking her class.
By far a waste of my time. Did not learn a thing from her! Learned all the material from the book. She is not clear whatsoever about what she wants from you (Homework, projects, etc.) She is funny but what does that matter when you're trying to learn? DO NOT take this class.
Wow, worst professor I've ever had in my life. She is very bipolar, so you never know how she will be. She is not very helpful when you go to her, and often will give you attitude. She yelled at me many times and gave me a lot of anxiety. I feel like I learned nothing. Even though she is funny, I did not like her teaching style at all. Don't take!
She's a great person and tries to make things fun so she doesn't lecture enough. The test are really difficult but you can pass them if you study like ten hours on each and if you take her for psyc 1 don't! She makes you write a really personal paper that's really hard to wright because its to personal and its worth 40% of your grade
I had a great time this semester. She is a fun and informative teacher. You need to read the book and you will be fine. The people who say her exams are hard overlook the questions asked. The final paper may be personal, but you learn a lot about yourself. You won't regret taking her classes at all. This is my second class with her.
The reason she asks for writing very personal papers is that these data help her in her business. She is a therapist/psychologist and running her private practice. That's why she has a very high percentage for that stuff (like 40%). Other than that she is least interested in lecturing and conveying knowledge to the class which should be primary.
I thought Darcy was an amazing teacher. She may be strict but she just expects students to take the course seriously and act like mature adults. I think she genuinely cares for her students and is always willing to help outside of class. I highly recommend her! it also doesn't hurt that she is hilarious!
She is hilarious. Read the book, study for the tests, participate in class and you'll be fine.
Darcy is a wonderful teacher and her personal stories are very inspiring. Her tests are a little tough and she covers a lot of information in very little time. She makes you write a paper on your perception of everything and it is a big eye opener. Other than that, just read the textbook assigned and you should pass.
I hope and pray that people don't get fooled by the drama she creates through her stories. She is absolutely under-qualified and immature.
I had a hard time with the teaching style. The class felt thrown together and very unorganized. I was uncomfortable at times because the Professor was not consistent and very unclear. I did not enjoy writing what I felt was a very revealing term paper. I really did not enjoy this class, it did not feel like a good college experience.
Darcy is cool if you do what your supposed to do but just don't piss her off! She also assigns a 5 page personal perception paper which is basically worth your entire grade. No homework just A TON of reading. Tests are hard but she lets you have a notecard. She's funny and loud so you can tell she gets into her teaching. It wont be a boring class.
Wonderful
She's funny and very into teaching. Darcy can get moody swings but it usually ends on a good note. Psych 1 had a 7page perception paper , which is very personal that only her eyes get to read when you're done. She doesn't do blackboard or online test . Attend class and do reading assignments and you'll pass. I'm taking her psych 10 class next .
Darcy is an amazing professor, she will make you laugh everyday in class by tying in what we are leaving to relevant examples. You do have to read the chapters before class which isn't hard. she assigns a perception paper and it's hard but easy at the same time. Taking her human sexuality class next. Would definitely recommend you to take her class
Frickin horrible. She yells at you and is perfectly okay with humiliating you in front of the whole class. I've got experience. Very unprofessional and classwork is not her main priority. Then she assigns tests with 100+ questions about stuff we never once went over. Come on! Never have I felt belittled and bullied by a teacher. Pass her up.
Darcy is a great person, but I just don't like having her as a teacher. She mainly makes you read the chapter before class, and rarely lectures on the chapter that is read making it hard to retain the information. If you're okay with that, then that's fine! I'm just not.
Darcy is so funny and inappropriate at often times. She has fun stories to tell. Very strict on citing in papers. only a few papers. She made Pych fun for everyone. Don't e-mail her about why you are absent, she doesn't like that. Her tests are take home, so is the midterm. I would so recommend to anyone! So understand,cool and respectful.
She is amazingly funny, inspirational, and a very caring and wonderful person overall. I recommend that everyone should take at least one class with her. I was never bored in her class and she makes things relatable and easy to understand.
Every chapter you have chapter outlines that would eventually be turned in to her to grade. We were able to use these outlines on the exams, which helped on the exam and motivated us to do good outlines. Final project was a paper about ourself. She told us that she can't grade our experiences and would just look at formatting. Put in effort, easy A
Darcy is amazing! If I could I would have a class with her every semester, I would! She is only hard on those who do not show inciative. She wants you to want it. You can come up with any cheesy excuse why you couldn't do an assignment or study for a test and she will give you another chance. She wants all her students to pass, you just have to try
Darcy is such an amazing professor. Very understanding and caves super easily (trust me chances are you will win an argument) DO NOT contact her as to why you are missing a class, she hates that. Otherwise take her class! I'm taking her again next semester, already registered!
I find the class structure to be unorganized and not fit for a college environment. Professor spends far too much time talking about herself and not nearly enough time talking about the structure of psychology. Also, she is never accseible after class. I have reached out to her several times to know avail.
DARCY is a caring professor. She will help you out and make sure you understand the material. SUPER EASY A (a lot of extra credit options). If you know the material, tests are SUPER EASY. That means you have to study. You will love her. She really loves being in class and connecting with her students. You will definitely be entertained with her stories.
Darcy is a great teacher for introducing general psychology due to her making psychology the most the relatable subject in college! If you plan on skipping this class you will NOT pass The tests are 100 questions but she allows you to use your textbook. Attending lectures and reading the textbook is KEY to passing this class.
Darcy is an amazing teacher. Her lectures r very long, and if u miss a lecture, don't worry, READING WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE! don't slack by not taking notes, cause u can use them on tests. Theres no way to fail her class if u read, take notes and do the extra credit! Also keep track of ur grades, cause she doesn't post ur grade until after the final.
Here's the thing, her classes are fun and enjoyable for all!She gives wonderful points of her experiences and great insight for the chapters. But her tests are STRICTLY based on the book. To pass the tests, only follow the book, don't only listen to what she lectures on. She never covers enough of what you need to know for the chapter. READ!
Darcy Leveque is effervescent and enigmatic. She brings in real world material from her job as a therapist to make the textbook pages alive. Professor Leveque is hilarious and able to make the material interesting. She is hands down the best professor I have ever had - at community college or university level. Please take her, you wont regret it!
Darcy is an amazing teacher who really cares about her students. Not much homework at all, but reading the chapters is essential because sometimes if she thinks the class isn't reading there are surprise quizzes. All exams are take home, and you are given multiple days to finish. Attendance is mandatory, and she will call you out if you miss class.
Darcy is hands down the most caring, wonderful, engaging professor I've had thus far in 4 years of college. She cares more about her students and their success than any other professor I've had. She is unique and engaging in lecture and hilarious. She does have difficult tests but they are based n the book reading; read the book, pass the class.
Good professor, as long as you are on her good side. If you talk during lectures or are on your phone, beware of her!!! Class gets very personal, which I like.
She's caring for each student in the class. There's no midterm, only a final paper that is 5 pages long. The only downside is that she doesn't post your grade on canvas so you can't track them. Not very accessible outside the class because she is very busy. Takes her so long to answer your email.
Regularly went off-topic, Assignment dates and directions were not always clear, Asked students to share personal info/stories during class, Talked to a student about their 504/IEP at the start of class, Uses personal # for communication, Responded rudely to emails asking for clarity, Talked in detail about her clients during class.
I will never take this teacher again. It feels like she is winging her class. Very unclear about due dates, details about assignment very minimalistic on canvas. Does no response to email. Is not understanding. Will say one thing during class and take it back the next. Her class is easy but so hard because of how unorganized and inconsistent sheis
Very inconsistent w/ Canvas. She rarely gives feedback. Shes rude if you reach out , office hours are minimalMost of her classes consist of passive aggressive comments towards students, and non helpful advice. She will say we are not doing one thing, and then there is a assignment posted on canvas. However its a pretty easy class if you show up.
Assigns projects/ papers & talk ab details once in class & won't post any info on canvas. Gets mad when you ask questions ab hw. Says to skip a study guide/ homework, forgets & assign it anyway. Won't give you any feedback on assignments, doesn't have a rubric for anything, yells when you ask ?s. Asks really personal ?s in class & will call on ppl
I will never ever be taking professor Leveque again. All she does is use class time to talk about her family problems and makes excuses for herself. But one a student has troubles that is personal, she is not considerate of all. She never posts assignment details on canvas and always go back on her words. overall really bad at communicating
She can be sweet, and I want to love her, but she has strayed away from the topic far too often, takes a while to begin class, embarrasses students in front of class, talks very often of personal life, switches up dates, and has random bouts of temper toward follow up questions. Sad to say: difficult to navigate her class, very difficult to learn.
Darcy is the best professor I have ever had. She is so down to earth and treats everyone with amazing respect. She is all about having great discussions in class and rarely ever tests. Because of her I changed my major to psych as I got to see how fun and intriguing it is. Would highly recommend any of the classes she teaches. Truly a gem
Very disorganized. Rude to students when asking for HW details. Talks about intimate details of her families issues and mental health to the point that I felt sorry for them. Took personal calls during class!!! I would NEVER take this professor again even though I got 100%
Darcy is awful, what every other 1.0 review says I also witnessed and went through. She is super rude and our iMessage group chat was the only lifeline to not going crazy and she even invaded that. Easy and simple work but the drama was not worth it.
You couldn't pay me to take her class again. If you get on her bad side- she will make your life hell. Insanely petty. Gives super unclear feedback & does not give a grading rubric- even when asked. Doesn't post instructions on canvas & changes up assignment expectations out of nowhere then will gas light you when you question it. Don't take her!!!
Spent much of the lectures talking about herself and her home life. Went way too personal and made several people in the class visibly uncomfortable by asking personal questions. Teaching style was all over the place, some days we wouldn't even get to the lecture until 15 minutes left in the class. Doesn't test often but expects detailed notes.
This class felt like a waste of time the way the lectures involved many unrelated tangents concerning Mrs. Leveque's family, which I think were way too personal and plentiful. The professor would interrogate and be snarky when asked a question by a student, and didn't want us to contact her outside of class time. It was a super easy class though.
if you want to actually learn psych, don't take this class talked abt herself + her family's PERSONAL lives the entire time openly mocked students/groups with diff POVs, rude if you ask a question tries to get you to trauma dump and asked questions that made people visibly uncomfortable treated us like middle schoolers w/ phone/bathroom rules
The lectures she gives are pretty good, but where she really shines is her ability to teach real-world applications of psychology. She touches on more personal topics than most teachers would, this really helps the class open up and have interesting discussions. However, her mood does decide the classes direction, so just hope she's in a good one.
No doubt that she has a good heart and intentions and there are interesting lectures and discussions. However, she spends most of class time talking about her personal life. If you want a class where you learn very little and it's easy then take her. Don't take her if you really want to learn psychology. She wings the class and it is very evident.
She speaks far too much about her personal life and clients, which I'm sure is unethical. She talks a lot about cultural competency, but often only talked to the group of white students in the class (including myself) and used the F slur in class because "my brother is part of the LGBT community" and "it means cigarette". Very disappointed.
Overall a great professor. When lecturing she uses examples of clients to create discussions in the classroom which I thought was interesting. Little homework given and spaced out dates,mostly just study guides.She expects you to read the chapters before coming to lectures. Very caring person, students always came to her after class hours to chat!
She is the most amazing professor you could have :)
One of the worst psych courses I've ever taken, she basically just goes on rants and vents about her issues for most of the time. Just do the papers and study guide and you'll be fine, also attendance and punctuality are huge. She seems like a nice person but definitely needs to be more professional.
Professor Leveque only talks about wanting a divorce and uses the F slur when describing many different people. Doesn't allow any talking in the class but her own, your grade is determined by three papers. You will EASILY get an A if you turn each paper in on time and stick to guidelines, attendance mandatory. Made students very uncomfortable daily
Spent entirely too long talking about her family's personal business then would get mad at students for missing class. Believed she was not prejudiced because of her gay brother and children that are POC.Uncomfortable class for all the queer and POC students. However, it's easy to get a good grade if you don't question her.
worse class I have ever been in in my entire life. you get 3 absences, 4th absence your grade goes down 1 letter. she only talks about herself & her problems. on lecture day, instead of going through the slides she would pause on each slide for 15-20 minutes talking about her and giving examples that do not even correlate. DO NOT take this class.
class is an easy A, no tests at all, but you need to show up everyday for all the notes: they're very long (psych). assignments are easy, sometimes hard to reach outside of class but when you catch her she's extremely helpful! don't be afraid to ask her questions AT ALL--- that's how you fall behind. if ur class doesn't engage it can feel boring.
She only lets you have 2 absences the 3rd drops your grade, but she canceled class like 4-5 times. She vents a lot and forgets to explain assignments. She is rude to her students. Confronted the class and got upset for some students going to the dean. Unprofessional. She acts erratic and sensitive. I think she lacks compassion for people.
I tried to like this teacher; I did. Be warned, she holds grudges; if she doesn't like you, she will make that clear. There are very few assignments and no clear grading criteria. You are just told to write a paper with no direction whatsoever. Extremely confrontational and will call out students in class. DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU VALUE YOUR GRADES!
couldn't plan out when to do finals / assignments or explain any assignments to us in a reasonable time frame so that we could prepare. She would go on about talking about her own family and husband complaining about them. She would talk about things that were so off topic and canceled classes randomly but would get mad if we missed 4 a good reason
Worst experience I have EVER had in school. She does NOT take grievances the way she claims, does NOT respect her students, and is NOT afraid to threaten with assignments and call people out in class if she has bad blood with them. She goes EXTREMELY off topic and is so disorganized she hardly gets through the required subjects. Trust me. Don't.
She is really good I learned a lot in this class all the students giving her bad ratings don't know what they are talking about.
She is boring. I barely learned anything about Psychology. She assigned essays about "What affected our perceptions at different stages of our lives", which I did excel at doing. However she did not have any tests, which did not motivate us to read the book.
A grotesque monster inside and out
you should be able to get a good grade as long as you show up. professor is strict but nice. not demanding, assignments aren't difficult and mostly clear.
Had her a previous semester. Possibly the worst class I have ever taken. Class is more of a soc class. I didn't learn much b/c lectures moved entirely topic, and the reading was not psych-related. Criticized students heavily for answering her questions. Did not feel comfortable at all in her class.
this class was such an easy A. even though she is never clear on instructions or criteria for assignments, she gave me full credit on all of them. but you won't learn anything because her class is 10% lecturing and 90% her rambling about her family problems or her clients
class is a pass, no midterms, but you need to show up for all the notes: + attendance is ur grade. assignments are manageable, hard to reach outside of class but she's helpful- ask questions, make the class fun. this was my experience. do not miss one assignment and try to get full points. I liked darcy, wasn't as bad tbh, just follow the criteria.
Easy A, since the only assignments are 3 papers. But I'd rather have had to study than be in her class. I'm not even sure how she has teaching credentials: she is very disorganized, shares private details of her family and clients to her class, and makes the class extremely uncomfortable for minorities with her unnecessary and unwanted stories.
The class was a slog to get through. Darcy can be sweet (or... very mean), but spends SO MUCH time tangenting about family. These anecdotes actually hardly connect to the material, and I personally gained more from her personal accounts of doing therapy. By the end of the semester, I didn't learn much, if at all (99% of class is Cengage slides).
