Great teacher, I wish they were all like her. The class is really clear and the tests easy.
If you are not a psyc. major but still need a psyc course or two for whatever reason... take Strongin! She is an awesome Prof. and you will come away understanding more than you thought you could.
An EXCELLENT teacher! She makes an effort to help you understand and gives you study guides for all the tests. She puts effort into her lectures and makes them really interesting. If you take this course, take it with her!
She will meet and answer any of your questions, is fun to listen to, and has unbelievably interesting lectures. She is very passionate about her work, and will help promote the success of anyone willing to put in the time and effort.
She makes the statistics easy to understand, and is great at finding life-applicable examples to help clarify. Her tests cover only things that have been specifically mentioned in class.
Extremely helpful, knowledgable and concise!
great teacher one of the best teachers i have ever had made me want to be a psyc major.
her lectures are not visually stimulating but she is animated and passionate, tries not to go over students heads and willingly repeats herself when she gets confusing. Which she will. Be ready to take 3-4 pages of notes per hour. she's fun.
Fascinating lectures...well worth taking, even if not your major.
Helpful with students. Teaches material straightforward. Makes class fun with examples. Tests based mostly based from notes.
She is a great teacher. If you want to take Intro to Psychology take it with her. She is funny and great at explaining things. A very fun class!!
terrific prof! very energetic. notes, notes, notes... but she goes over everything until everyone understands. i definately recommend her!
Strongin's the best!
I loved her so much! She is so happy about phych and always willing to help. Lots of notes but well worth it. her class is so interesting! she helped me decide to major in phyc

love that class
She's the bomb! This lady has tons of energy and is very animated in class. She makes each lecture interesting, and loves to go on tangents that apply to the class. She is more than fair and is willing to help anyone in need. Her enthusiasm and professionalism creates a positive environment for learning. Let's just say, it's never boring in her class! Her tests are fair, somewhat indepth as most are essay form but she gives a great study guide and reviews before test! She has won Teacher of the Year at Stan
Awesome. Just awesome. She made the material fun and exciting. She loves what she does and isn't afraid to be enthused about it. I always found myself laughing in her class. Highly recommended.
The best.
she's a GREAT teacher. She's funny and she gives lots of examples
She is a great professor and is always willing to lecture about a certain topic as well as demostrate it!!!!
Strongin is one of the BEST professors I've ever had. She's incredibly smart, funny and totally makes you want to go to class.
GREAT TEACHER! BEST IVE HAD!!!! She makes you LOVE the subject! Well-written tests and study guides!
GREAT CLASS!! GREAT PROFESSOR! Tests were RIGHT off the lecture notes which she wrote on the overhead and she even gives you the answeres to the last 1 or 2 questions! All u have to do is copy it! no quizzes. This is the easiest class ever.

Best prof. i have ever had. I highly recomend her. Tests are right off the lecture (dont bother buying the book...its a waste of $$) She is funny and very helpful.
I had her a couple of semesters ago. She is one of the best, if not the best, professors I have ever had. Her class was so interesting, and her lectures were amazing. The tests were very straightforward; all from her lectures and nothing from the book. Highly recommended.

Fascinating and applicable
Wow! No teacher like her. A real inspiration to any student who wants to learn. Expects alot out of her students but explains EVERYTHING and really cares if the students understand the material. Does not just teach to the test but teaches to life.
Beautiful, Brilliant and Smart! Everything a person could aspire to become. Loves the subject and makes sure that everyone understands the material. Would recommend her to any student!
she's nice and ethusiastic about the class but her notes are annoying! too sloppy and unorganize! don't like the class that much. 4 exams and 4 quizes. Allows you to use a cheat sheet on quizes.
Very thorough but interesting
She is an amazing person. Someone I would aspire to be like. She is passionate but challenging. If you really want to learn something take Dr. Strongin. If she jumped off a bridge, so would I :-)
Her classes are hard, but she is fair. She keeps you wanting to come back for more.
I hope that I can teach like this when I'm done here. She makes it fun, interesting, and does little skits to help you learn. She is always available to help if you just don't get it. Best teacher at CSU in my opinion! Only quirk: NOT LINEAR AT ALL! Notes are all over the place! But they still make sense!
This woman is AMAZING! She is an inspiration to me. Her class is jam packed with information but anytime a student has a question she goes out of her way to make sure it is answered. Her lectures are throughly interesting. Her exams are fair. Take her if you want to learn.
She is hilarious. I definitely enjoy going to her class. She doesn't give out any homework. You NEVER need the text book so do NOT buy one. The tests are on the notes taken in class so it is madatory to get everything down. Other than that it is a relatively easy class.
All questions are "good questions." To answer, she'll often ask you questions about things you already know and make you feel smart when you put the pieces together to come up with the correct answer. She'll even work with you one-on-one if desired.
I loved this class! I suggest taking her, she's entertaining.
Dr. Strongin is the best teacher i have ever had in my entire life!!!! No Joke! She is amazing and her class is awesome you will definitly enjoy them!
Excellent teacher. Don't buy the book for Intro - waste of lots of money. Go to each class and pay attention (although it's hard not to).
one of the best professors i've ever had the pleasure to take a class with. she makes class fun and interesting! if you copy down the notes she writes on the overhead, you'll be fine. very easy and enjoyable. WISH SHE TAUGHT EVERY CLASS I NEED!
Dr. Strongin is an amazing psych teacher! I highly recommend you take her for the intro to psych class! Her tests are straightforward. Don't buy the textbook because everything that's on the test is right off the notes.
Honestly the best professor at CSUS I have taken. The class was not easy but I learned the material, applied myself and received an A. She is ALWAYS willing to help a struggling student and is down right funny, maybe a little crazy, and defiantly knowledgeable.
She was fabulous! Easy, and funny! And you actually learn a lot in her classes! Whats in your notes, and the study guide, is on her class!
FANTASTIC teacher. She makes the lectures funny and interesting. As long as you pay attention and refer back to your notes, the exams will be easy. Take this teacher if you need intro to psychology
my most favorite teacher in my college career. does her best to help you understand. uses written notes, performances, & metaphors all at once to make sure you learn. GREAT for people w/ diff learning styles. tests are essay, but she's flexible & gives a study guide. pay attention, ask qs. VERY ENTERTAINING LECTURES! just dnt wear perfume! lol
Professor Strongin loves what she does. Each class is filled with great information put into real-life scenarios. If you show up & take good notes you'll do great. Tests are from lectures & she gives opportunities for extra credit. Does not use the book except for reference. Great Professor! Take her for all your classes if you can.
THIS CLASS IS A MUST!
I thought I was going to hate her the first week but wound up really liking her. She's a little out there and literally tells you to "remove your gravity boots." Has you draw and color a lot (no seriously). Cool lady, cool class. Not easy though, prepare for a fair amount of study time.
The Best prof I've ever had. She's fun, entertaining and the best part she loves what she does for a living and makes you want to learn. TAKE HER!
She's a very clever and nice teacher. Very easy going all u gotta do is study ur notes and read a bit and ull get an easy A
She's a very clever and nice teacher. Very easy going all u gotta do is study ur notes and read a bit and ull get an easy A
Come to class and takes notes and you will do fine. best teacher ever!
Loved her class! She was my first college professor and I loved her class! I looked forward to going! She's funny and makes you really want to learn. Take her class!
Dr. Strongin is probably one of the best teachers anyone could ask for. She made my first semester so awesome. She always is silly and uses students for dimistration to make sure we get it. She is the person who made me decided to do psychology because she makes it so interesting.
Never have I learned so much in a 3 month period. What a great experience...everybody should be required to have her at least once while at school...your life will be better for it.
This class was extremely hard for me. You have to practically memorized everything in the lecture notes to earn an A or B on test. NO multiple choice! All tests consist of several short/long essay. Learned a lot in class. Definately one of the best teacher, she really knows her stuff. Take her if you care more about learning and less about grade.
Very interesting,& you learn a lot BUT very challenging class. Grade is based on 4 exams, ALL essay questions. Lectures on overhead projector & she makes mistakes. The syllabus said we would have quizzes but we did NOT. The prereq's are ONLY Psyc 2010 & 2020 but if you have NOT taken Psyc 3100 or Psyc 2010 with her, you WILL struggle. Good luck!
One of the best professors at Stanislaus. Her lectures are interesting and as long as you study the notes you will get an A on the exams. I didn't open the book once the whole semester
Loved her class! Tests are easy as long as you study. I really enjoyed going to her class because she made it fun and interesting. Take her!!
GREAT professor. No multiple choice tests, so you thoroughly LEARN the material. Class was always entertaining, i wish every professor was as engaging as Dawn Strongin. Excellent class, excellent professor.
She is AMAZING!!! She makes class fun, interesting and excited. She is very clear in what she expects, her tests are easy as long as you attend class and STUDY!! She makes everything clear and her attitude is amazing! I recommend her, I loved going to her class because she made sure we understood everything. :) One of my best professors!!
The best professor I have ever had at CSUS. She is so awesome, and her tests are simple as long as you study the notes you took from class. The test questions are literally taken from your notes. I highly recommend taking her!
Amazing and fun professor! Makes sure she teaches you everything exactly the way it will be on the exams.
She is absolutely a great professor. She helps you learn by using fun examples and is so enthusiastic about everything. She teaches in her lecture exactly what will be on the exam AND she gives you outlines before the exam which will ensures you will get an A. My favorite class by far.
She is the best teacher I have ever had! She is humorous, easy to understand & the course is very easy if you focus and study for her exams. For intro to psych there are only 4 midterms and no final and no hw. Love her and I would take that class over in a second!
BEST TEACHER EVER! She knows her stuff, and all of her tests were easy because the questions were taken straight from the notes we took in class. Best class I've ever taken! Also, don't wear anything with a fragrance...and if you do, sit in the back!
Excellent teacher; easy A if you attend lectures. I began the semester reading the textbook but ended up not using it at all; her 4 exams are all lecture-based, the text book doesn't help. (Try renting/sharing with someone to avoid its costs) NO FINAL. Just 4 seperate exams throughout the semester. She's a very popular psych professor
Prof Stronin is one of the best professors at Stanislaus. She is tough, fair, open, and clearly loves what she does because she is an excellent professor. She imparts info in a way that helps you understand it without memorization. Her classes are a blast and you will learn. Take any of her classes, you will not regret it!
Awesome professor!! TAKE HER!!! She makes class fun, goes by fast. Very interesting class, she is smart and funny. Lots of material to know. Tests are essay form, she is easy grader, tries to give points out when she can!
I HIGHLY recommend her class, she is quite easily one of the best professors in this school. She tries really hard through examples to truly make you understand the material. She is funny and knows how to keep you interested in what she is talking about. Her tests aren't hard if you actually study with the study guide that she gives you.
Excellent teacher! She made the class very interesting and she's so funny. There's no point in buying the textbook and she makes it clear the first day not to get it. Tests are so easy as long as you review the notes or do the study guide she gives.
She is so funny and knowledgeable. She really knows her stuff and so will you. Only 4 tests, no midterm or final. She puts out a study guide for each one and as long as you do it you'll pass the class. TAKE HER!
She is AWESOME!!! You must take her! She's extremely helpful, nice and super funny!!! My absolute favorite teacher!!!! I loved going to her class! Her stories in class were relavant to the lecture, and memorable!!
One OF THE BEST TEACHERS THAT I HAVE EVER TAKEX, she is awesome, no final, only 4 tests, the test questions are literally from the notes so take them and study,
For major-level classes: Dr. Strongin is easily the BEST professor I have had. She is quirky and entertaining, her lectures are not boring in the slightest, but she is also fair and gives credit when possible. The material is not easy and filled with information, but learning it is very rewarding. Four essay exams, textbook optional but helpful.
Great teacher. Keeps class interesting. Tests are all from notes and study guides, never had to look at the text book.
The class was great I really recommend you take her!! She makes the class fun and you actually do learn!
Awesome professor! She's really funny and makes psychology very fun. Before this class I wasn't interested in the subject but she made it very interesting and I actually learned. There are 4 exams in all and all of them are based on notes, no surprises. I really recommend her, she's been one of the best professors I've ever taken.
She is amazing. One of the best professors I've ever had. I actually loved going to class. She kept them fun and interesting. Super easy, clear, and helpful. She really loves to teach, and is good at it. I really felt like I learned a lot.
I loved this class. She's an amazing professor, keeps things interesting and fun, has a sense of humor, and is always there to clarify something if you don't understand. 4 exams, all multiple choice, and you're often given a freebie or 2. No hw or quizzes, never opened the book. Exams are based off the notes.
best teacher i ever had. very friendly; dont hesitate to ask questions, shes always more than happy to help and answer any questions u have; even if they are dumb. wont make u feel stupid. very clear on what she wants. exams from lecture. provide great Study Guide. strongly recommend her. wish she taught cdev classes. would love to take her again.
She is an awesome teacher for this course! I am gonna tell it how it is. She lectures and gives exams. Anything else is mainly extra credit. Exams are always 35 mult. choice questions and are identical to the study guide she hands out. A very interesting course to just dip your feet into the world of psychology!
She is awesome! Totally recommend taking her. Attending her class was fun, she tells interesting stories that make the material stick. If you study the study guide the test will be a piece of cake, also the study guides are exactly what she talks about in lecture. You won't need the book if you attend class.
Dr. Strongin is so awesome. I enjoyed listening to her lectures and looked forward to her class. The way she presented the material made it easy to understand and fun to learn. She is extremely helpful and encouraged questions. She is also quite hilarious. Our grades were based on a total of four exams. I would 100% recommend her!
Great Professor. Exams are easy if you take a little bit of time to study before the exam. If she ever throws a curveball at you in a exam, she will dismiss that question and either give everyone that free point or not count that question when exams are handed back. She is a delight!
Dr. Strongin is a good teacher. She is very funny and has a way of helping you remember the material. She is very open to helping students outside of class time. Her class is not easy. You have to pay attention and want to learn.
Favorite teacher! Made me love psychology. Tests are easy too! No book necessary; goes off notes!
I love this professor so much shes so funny and easygoing.It would actually bothered me the few times she missed class because I always looked forward to her class! I RECOMMEND!
She's a really funny professor so it makes the class interesting. She's a bit of a potty mouth. There r extra credit opportunities. She gives 4 tests and study guides that are similar to the test. Attendance isn't mandatory but I'd recommend going to each class since the lectures are extremely helpful and she gives many examples throughout lecture.
Great teacher, scatter brained at times, but was helpful in explaining things further. I would recommend her, as well as take another course with her.
I took Intro to Psych with Dr Strongin and she was amazing since the first day of class. She doesn't use powerpoint lectures she interacts and takes notes with the class and she is hilarious and makes the information easy to understand. Her tests follow the study guide and the study guide follows all the notes she gives in class. Love her.
Besides inspirational, this woman knows her stuff and genuinely cares for the success of her students. She will challenge you and educate you. If you are serious about Neuroscience, take this course. By far the best professor on campus. Lectures are engaging and entertaining.
Me and my friend took this class, just to fill up credits for full-time. We got so lucky. She is so funny, and you DO NOT HAVE A TEXTBOOK. She makes all her exams from the notes and gives study-guides, and SONA for extra credit. She is very social with the class and helpful, and cooperates and gets along with students. No Roll. Time goes by fast.
She is hilarious and makes the class so much fun! also the tests are super easy. This class is honestly one of the best classes i took and one of the easiest. I recommend her!
Is a person you can't help but want to be around.
I took this course because I had to fill up units & I'm glad that I did. She is an amazing lecturer who is incredibly knowledgeable about psychology. The tests are fair, just make sure that you study & you will get a good grade. She is hilarious in her lectures and is a bit of a potty-mouth which makes her even more amazing. I recommend taking her.
Best Professor EVER! Her lectures are easy to follow along because she makes it so fun and interesting. No textbook needed, test questions are all from her notes. As long as you memorize the notes, you'll get an A!
The test are based on the lectures. It is almost word for word from the lectures. Sh gives a lot of real life examples that make it easy to understand and makes the concept stick. She has a lot of real life experience.
Professor Strongin is amazing. She makes the material clear, fun, and easy to understand. Although it is a lot of material, and at times difficult it is still manageable. She is there to help you every step of the way, amazing personality. Learned a lot and would take her again.
Dr. Strongin is an amazing professor, her intro to psych class is phenomenal and I would highly recommend it to anyone. She is incredibly funny and makes the material relevant to her students. Only has four exams, non-cummulative, there is no homework and she offers extra credit. Hands down has been one of the most enjoyable classes Ive ever taken
Dr. Strongin is amazing!! Best professor I have ever had in college. She lectures with so much enthusiasm that help you remember during the tests. Just don't skip class because you won't pass the tests. Her lectures aren't boring at all I enjoyed taking her class besides that she's hilarious I loved her!
Strongin is the best teacher ! i really enjoyed her class a lot because it was so funny and easy the only thing she gives out is test and those are pretty easy just study your notes and she gives a lot of extra credit options.
She is the best teacher on campus for intro to psychology, if you dont have her, just wait another semester. Its not easy becasue she makes it easy its easy because she understands the material so well and is able to teach it the same way! Show up study your notes and ace the class!
I already Liked Psychology but she made me LOVE it ! She is AMAZING! One of my favorite Professors ! Her lectures are interesting. Exams are easy! She explains everything! You will love her!
Dr. Strongin is amazing. She makes the material so easy by making real life connections. She has a way of explaining the material that makes it so easy to remember. You don't even need the book! She gives a detailed study guide and the class is structured through the tests and some extra credit. She gives awesome videos that make learning easier.
She's a great professor. I enjoyed her classes, and I learned a lot as one should. Definitely would take again if I got the chance to do so. Most importantly her charisma and way of teaching made me interested in the major.
Such a great professor! Even though its a very challenging class Dr. Strongin is always very helpful and gives study guides for each test, so you know EXACTLY whats on the test and tells you when you will have quizzes and what to study for. NO textbook required either.
She's one of my favorites at CSUS. Took her for 2010 & loved her- easy & made class interesting. Took her again for upper div classes. Warning: if you want easy, don't take her upper div! She WILL make you WORK for it! Start studying in advance!! No text required, & don't get one for 2010 if she assigns one. Cost me over $100 & never opened it.
She gives good advice in class and keeps the material interesting. Just show up and write down the notes and you should be fine for tests. Tests are easy but only if you show up to class.
Best Class ever! Strongin is an amazing professor. Class consist of just 4 exams and extra credit. Tests are multiple choice and mostly from the notes. Easy class and lectures are interesting. I highly Recommend taking PSYC with her.
I found her class to be very confusing, unclear, and didn't really get help from her when I asked. I do have to say that it was her first time teaching an online class so that could have been why but she is a tough grader. Exams are written. DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE CLASSES!
She is great! If you are the type of student that needs a lesson very systematically then her class may be slightly confusing. Although, she is very good at explaining concepts, using examples, and utilizes drawing her Cognitive Processes class. For that class, her exams are short but very in-depth; you have to explain your answer zero Mult. Choic
Strongin is an amazing professor. Class consists of just 4 exams and extra credit, she assigns no homework. Attend class and you will pass the tests, tests are multiple choice and mostly from the notes. Easy class.
Was a little weirded out at this class being one of my first college classes ever. Strongin makes the hour and fifteen go by super fast. She is hilarious and doesn't hold back what she's thinking. The class is all lecture, no book.
My favorite class by far. She is super funny and knows how to make the lectures interesting. Her tests are really easy and she did not have us use a textbook. Would take again.
Dr. Strongin is such a great professor. She's so funny and straight forward that it makes the lectures interesting and worthy of hearing. There's 4 exams and barely any homework so make sure to study because the exams are what really matter in this class!!!
Strongin is great man! she is funny and makes lectures worth your time :D attendance is not mandatory but if you don't go you'll miss the lecture!3 tests only and SONA points(4)which REALLY help your grade and are very easy to get!The test have what is on your lecture notes! and the study guides answers are on your notes! She the real MVP! TAKE HER
Dr. Strongin is an amazing professor! Her connection to the class content and her stories are definitely help for and what make her such a great professor! I've considered changing my major just because of this class! I highly recommend taking this class!
Strongin was really great, she's very funny and makes the lecture entertaining (curses and yells a lot for humor). Notes are pretty clear and if you have questions/concerns, just ask she's always there to help. She doesn't take attendance and the textbook basically doesn't exist in class, she'll tell you not to waste your money! Great professor!
one of the best professors i have had by far, her lectures are amazing she explains the material in a way you actually understand it and learn it
She is an amazing professor who really makes lectures exciting. Everyday after class just rewrite your notes, and memorize them. I passed the class with 100% and It was the only class I have ever been disappointed when class was canceled.
One of my favorite professors thus far! She keeps lectures interesting and makes students feel comfortable. Pay attention and take notes! Tests are pretty much off of what she says in class
Her lectures are important-- a lot of things on tests. Not hard to focus because she's a good teacher. Very quirky and funny. Obviously passionate about psychology. Her online classes are more challenging than in person.
SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! As long as you have the lecture notes for each lecture, you will pass with no problem!! she makes the course fun and easy, and even offers extra credit. Her exams come directly from the study guides and notes, I got an A on all of my exams and even missed class quite a few times.
The best psychology professor at Stan!! She truly loves teaching and I really enjoyed this course. Just show up and listen to her lectures. You'll be surprised by how much you can remember. There was no assigned hw and textbook was not needed. I skipped a few classes and ended up with an A.
Dawn is the funniest professor I've ever had! She gives amazing lectures and is always open to answer any questions you have on her lectures. She tells GREAT stories that will help you remember certain ideas and she also offers extra credit!
Dr. Strongin has amazing lectures!! She keeps thing simple and very interesting, and if you're not a Psychology major, you may want to change after. She uses ALOT of visuals and there's no homework. Exams are easy if you are listening and taking notes, always feel free to ask questions!
Dr. Strongin is easily the best professor I've had. I learned more in this class than any other class I've taken. Her lectures are always interesting and she makes really tough material easy to understand. If you want an A in her class, be prepared to study A LOT and include everything you know on the exams.
This class is a lot of information, so if you are taking many classes this won't be so much fun. You need to actually spend too much of time for this class if you need to minimum C grade . I struggled because I took 6 other classes so this was too hard for me to handle. Dr strongin is funny, really smart and she likes when you ask her questions.
Take notes and study! Oh, did I say study? That's a must. Otherwise she's super witty and snarky. Just the way that I like them. I will admit, I had a little crush.
Dr. Strongin is amazing! She is great about explaining things multiple ways to ensure that everyone can understand. Also, she makes lectures fun, both with her great sense of humor and with her interactive demonstrations. I would gladly take any class offered by her! Grading is based on open question exams. No homework, but attend and study!
I took her class in the Spring 2016 semester but I still remember how great of a professor she is. Her lectures are hilarious and its actually quite hard to not pay attentionthats just how interesting they are. She has some tests, some quizzes, and all are based off of her lectures, so be sure to attend class, pay attention, and take good notes!
This was her first time doing this course online. Her exams were easy and always had fun lectures. The exams were sometimes a little different from what she talked about in her lectures and the study guides. Probably wouldn't take this professor again since the exams and lectures didn't match up, which made the exams a bit more difficult.
Dr. Strongin is hilarious and definitely knows what she is talking about. I was initially worried about it being an online class, but Strongin makes the lectures understandable and the test are on exactly what she goes over. I would highly recommend taking this class, I learned a lot and had a great time in this class.
Dont recommend her online class the test never matches the study guides. The test was always unpredictable. She does drop lowest quiz score so thats a plus
Summer course. Dr. Strongin's lectures were repetitive, with little information. She wants CREATIVE answers on tests, and so you have to guess most of your way with the little, repetitive information given. 3 Tests all worth 100 points. Lots of lectures, lots of videos. Do not recommend her summer courses, HATED her tests.
I loved her and her class! I took her three week online summer course. Go into the class prepared to work very hard for a short amount of time ad you will do well. 3 exams worth 100 points each. she gives you over two days to finish them and if you take your time you will pass! Very nice woman and responsive in emails. I felt I earned my A.
Dr. Strongin is truly one of the best teachers I had at CSUSTAN. She believes that if you can expain it you know it. Her style of teaching really ensures that you are learning something. If you are there to learn, do not miss this class. Seriously!
Her class consists of 4 exams, no hw. The material that is covered is exactly what you should expect in her exams. She is absolutely great! Takes hrs away from lecture just to clarify all questions. Works with what best fits the class, TAKE HER & STUDY!!! she makes class very interesting and used examples that are hard to forget. fav teacher ever.
Your semester grade is based upon 4-5 test but it is super easy! There is no textbook so she gives detailed notes of exactly what she wants answered on the test and even throughout the test if she realizes she had not covered a matter she will give you the answer. Along with this there is a chance to get extra credit. The extra credit is super easy
Strongin has a brilliant mind! She actually TEACHES you the material. She makes coming to class very fun. The material is fascinating and she makes you care about it. She cares about her students. Your grade is based off of 4 exams only. You definitely have to SHOW UP and take great notes. You have to really study for the exams. But she's great.
Dr., Strongin is clearly passionate about what she does. Her lectures stick in your head all weak because of the funny examples she uses. Tests are easy if you look over your notes. You wouldn't regret taking her classes. She has amazing energy and really wants her students to succeed.
This is a very complex course that can go in depth about the brain and functions, so you really need to study for that A, but prof Strongin is simply amazing & a genius in her field! She has inspired me in many ways with her amazing lectures that just make so much sense and are extremely interesting. She's become 1 of my favorite prof ever.
Your grade is based off 4 exams and 9 quizes. Each exam is worth 30 points and each quiz 5 and she doesnt drop the lowest test or quiz score. She did give a decent amount of extra credit I wanna saw like a total of like 10. She makes her exams and quizzes they are not on quizlet. Each exam covers like 1 hr and 30 minutes of lecture videos.
Great teacher! I took her online class. She has amazing lectures. Study and take notes for this class. As long as you do that you should be able to pass. Grade is based on four exams and nine quizzes. Be sure to check on blackboard or on the calendar the date of when tests are to be taken. Quizzes last 30 minutes. Exams last an hour and a half.
10 out of 10. I would totally recommend this professor. This has to be the best class that I have taken thus far. Her lectures are extremely interesting and she's always throwing in a joke or 2. 4 exams (straight from her lectures), & a few quizzes, that all, nothing more or less. And you don't need to buy a textbook, what else could you ask for??
She was a great professor. All you do is take notes online. She was very good at explaining things through her power point notes. For every lecture there is a 5 question quiz which is super easy. Then after every 2 lectures you take a 30 question test on them.
Professor Strongin was amazing. I just took her for the summer and she was great. Her lectures are detailed and specific. Everything that you need is on BB. Her tests are based on the notes and videos that you watch. I definitely recommend her. She's also funny and answers any questions asked as quickly as possible. She's an awesome professor!!
I am currently taking her during COVID-19 (online). Her class has been really easy for me. You have 4 exams and about 6 to 8 quizzes (can't remember). Exams and quizzes are based off the lecture. Provides great examples during lecture, gives extra credit if you choose to provide your own example of the topic being taught. SHE IS THERE FOR YOU!
Shes very enthusiastic and loves what she is doing. This class was fun and her exams arent tough but they arent easy either. Make sure to pay attention, no textbook, easily reachable, and her content is A1.
I really enjoyed PSYC 2010. The material is really interesting. She is not the best with emails. Doesn't always respond; cancels quizzes and exams without letting students know. Overall, she isn't too bad. It's a good class to take.
The class was fully online, there were no class meetings. There was no book so you rely on lectures. No homework or assignments all semester. You rely a lot on the professor to post lectures so at times the quizzes and exams were very hard.
Super super funny. Her classes had no zoom--no attendance required. Every lecture was online on videos. NO HOMEWORK. 4 exams. NO FINAL. Loved her class.
I really enjoyed this class, the professor is so sweet and understanding. It's really easy to get an A in this class if you just take notes on the lectures she posts. Her lectures are very interesting and her quizzes are not hard if you watched the lectures. Would definitely take this class again if I could.
She was very straight forward. But if you want to pass you need to pay attention VERY well to detail in the video lectures. She never posted modules on time, and cancelled a lot of quizzes or moved the dates last second. Im surprised I passed. No homework just exams and quizzes pertaining the info from the lectures. Also didnt keep up with emails
I took her class before and it was fine, but this semester is different. Her lectures are long and boring but you have to pay attention to them because it's on the exams and quizzes. I don't get her though, we write notes for her lectures but she wants the answer on her quizzes and exams to be different. Her class is a little all over the place.
Dr. Strongin is a great professor! I learned so much in her perception class.
Her class was extremely easy. She posted lectures on canvas and we could go through them whenever we had the chance. The only graded assignments were the quizzes and tests we took. The quizzes had about 5 questions and the tests had about 30 questions. All of the questions were pretty straightforward if you listened to her lectures.
I have taken Professor Strongin for 2 classes now and I absolutely love her lectures! They are long yes, but she gives you PLENTY of time to watch them and everything on the exams is based off of those lectures. She gives great feedback on how to improve on your exams, and helpful study guides as well. She is a great professor, one of the best.
By far one of the easiest classes I've taken. She gives out lectures that are somewhat long but you have a whole month to go over it. For exams just make sure you study because they are not multiple choice and only consist of 5 q's. She is super sweet!
Even though this was an online class, she does a great job with her lectures and makes them genuinely interesting. You can tell she's a great person who really likes being a professor. I'm interested in psychology now!
such an easy class and the way she explains everything is fun and exciting. i got a D in the class because i forgot about the last exam. i had a B in the class originally so don't forget exam dates because its online and theres no redoing it!!! besides that it was super easy. you watch videos, take notes and then quizzes, all online
Easy class, lectures are straight to the point and interesting. The only issue is you better hope you do not have an emergency. Got extremely sick, and had doctors' notes excusing me from an exam. Didn't bother answering my email, and gave me a zero, jeopardizing my whole grade. Went from an A to D+. Shame, because I did enjoy this class.
Dr. Strongin was a great teacher, I took this 3 week course. She had 1 module 3 quizzes and 1 exam. If you watch the lecture, and read the content, you should be ok. Her quizzes are short essay style quizzes and tests. She points out what she will ask on tests or quizzes in the lectures so PAY ATTENTION. No book required it's all based on her lx.
Graded on only 4 big exams, they were all very specific essay questions and they were hard.
This class was easy, laid back, all the exam/quiz questions are based off lecture. take notes and you'll do good. Lectures were so interesting and fun in my opinion, prof was really good presenter. no textbook or anything. This class made me realize I do want to continue to pursue psychology !!! take this class it is easy !!
I had her online and she was a very great and easy teacher. You could tell she cared about psychology a lot which is pretty rare nowadays. Her tests and quizzes were always very easy and straightforward. Great teacher and 10/10 would recommend.
It is the easiest class I have ever taken. It only consist of 5 quizzes and 4 exams. All of the answers were provided on the lectures. She drops your lowest quiz grade at the end of the semester. I probably only spent like 30 minutes each week on this class. It is an easy A as long as you do the quizzes and exams.
Professor Strongin's PSYC2010 class is a breeze. The lectures are engaging, and with a little note-taking, the easy quizzes and exams are a breeze. unstuck study was a lifesaver for study prep too. Highly recommend this class!
This class consist of four exams and if you are wanting to achieve an A it is pretty difficult since it is based on just your exam grade. There are no retakes for exams. Only positive is that you get to use the lectures while you take the exam. Professor strongin is good professor but a tough grader
Dr. Strongin's lectures were always so engaging and interesting, they were never boring. Every quiz and exam is based off her lectures, so take some good notes and you'll get that easy A.
PREPARE TO WORK! This class was not easy by any means. If you're looking for an easy class that does not require much studying, this is not what you want. She is a harsh grader, and her tests are time-consuming and difficult. If you put in the work, study, and take your time to understand the material, you will do well. Lectures are not up to date.
Her class is amazing but it was not easy to pass. Be prepared to watch lectures as well as take exams. She is a very rough grader on the exams but she does provide good feedback! Overall, this class was amazing and i recommend taking only if you're up for a challenge!
Lectures are outdated from 2016. She can be a little disorganized with information, but lectures are still comprehensible. Overall not a hard class but all quizzes/exams were all written answers. Took it in 3 weeks. Be prepared to study.
I am a B average student who had to drop the class before I was stuck and could fail. I listened throughly to her lectures, took notes, took my time on the test and left feeling good about it only to fail due to harsh grading regardless of citing the lectures as requested. I was taking this as an elective and this sure wasn't worth it. Beware
It was very fascinating learning about why we work the way our human minds think. This class is highly recommended.
