Don't even show up, read the book in your room and still get a good grade
Weird grading system. Book based. Boring.
you dont have to go to class- just read the book and you'll be fine on the exams. as long as you do the reading you will get an A
Easy, if you don't go to class, it doesn't matter, just read the book.
easy easy easy easy easy easy - if your interested in psychology the class is ok if you're not just don't bother going
she's a good teacher who makes psychology clear. her exams are pretty easy if you study the book and the study guide. sometimes her class makes you sleep but all in all she's a good teacher.
Sadly, you don't have to go to class. Everything is right out of the book, very book-based. If you don't like psychology the class will be extra boring, because she's not a very exciting professor.
Yea.. the only thing that gets me thru this class is wondering how high her jeans are gunna go up her ass in every new class..lol.. BORING!! kinda funny at times but rare.. easy class tho.. just read!
She is probably the most boring professor I have ever had. Just read the book and save yourself some time by not going to her lectures. Also, she succeeded in making a usually interesting subject very boring. You can get an A just by reading the book.
Some of the psych professors are terrible so I'm glad I have her. Her class does get dull, but its not hard so it's worth taking her.
Don't go to lecture. She just reads from the book. The tests are right from the study guide. All you have to do is read alittle. If you do go to lecture make sure you bring something else to do cuz shes boring as hell.
Only a lazy ass will not get an A in this course. Yeah she's boring but if you study the study guide and read the textbook, then you're all set for the exam cuz the exams are 100% from the book. Lecture is optional if you have insomnia. She's cool though!
she's good. a little boring but if you do the study guide you'll do alright
the class easy... the teacher boring. but if you do the study guide you can't fail.
Taught Abnormal Psych... made an interesting topic so painful i had crap coming out of my ears. Wow! I didn't know her hair could torture students, but her cobra face was kind of funny. She made us do a ridiculous amount of book reports. Do not take!

You don't need to go to class if you read the book. All she does is lecture straight from the book
easy class, just read the book and do the study guide. exams are multiple choice and she drops your lowest out of 4 exam grades. she's really nice if you talk to her. you don't have to go to lecture but it helps reinforce the material.
everything is right from the book, her teaching makes you fall asleep so there's no point to going to class, exams are easy but there's alot of reading
Generally easy don't need to attend lecture the book and study guide are enough to cram overnight. Just don't listen to her cause her test cover more than the material she discusses
summer course- thought it would be a lot harder, most material is in the book, essay questions were annoying but she gave extra credit. not good at answering emails
the class was not that hard but she made it hard....boring lectures but could get a C in the class if u want even without reading, well she just reads the text and the bold writings soo u really dont have to go to class...not that great dint like her!
I really enjoyed her as a teacher. It's true she's basically a walking textbook, but she did entertain student questions and covered all the material. Nice easy A as long as you go to class and have a decent memory.
I don't like the fact that she's so by the book...it doesn't make me want to go to class. I was planning on majoring in Psych but now I'm no longer interested.
She teaches straight out of the book. I just sit in her class and highlight my book as she lectures. She might as well read straight out of the book. Her essay questions on tests are also based on the book questions at the end of chapters... sometimes the exact questions.
This class was pretty good.. I liked Prof.Bryant, she was really nice and her way of teaching was unique. although she did teach straight out of the text, her charisma made the course interesting
I hated her, she sux dont ever take her class. Her final is a 16 chap cummulative!!! Basically she is the worst psych teacher ever.
This is by far the hardest class I've taken so far in psych. Final was ridiculous and 12 chapters cumlative plus 2 take home essays! I'm a dean's list student and found it difficult to stay focuses and interested in the material. Highlighting worked since she teachs str8 from book! don't do it
Very nice lady and the class was very interesting. As long as you study from the study guide and book you should do well on her mult. choice tests, 75 questions.i aced this class with little effort. no homework or anything either. i definitely recommend it!
I really enjoyed this class and the professor was great. She made class interesting. I appreciated the fact that she answered my emails quickly and efficiently. The tests are 75 questions each and multiple choice. I recommend this professor for all those interested in psych and getting a good grade!
Wonderful teacher, used many examples during her (regrettably) boring lectures. Good subject matter. Tests from book. BUY THE STUDY GUIDE: your grade will soar if all you do is take the practice exams there.
She is the wors professor I have had- Worst. For this class you HAVE to memorize the book, and you have to study 300 pages for every exam and she does not specify what you should concentrate on. Unreasonable... she thinks her class is the only one you are taking. Exams are very unreasonable.
THE FINAL IS CUMALATIVE!!
One of my best professors this year. Excellent examples, clear instructions, awesome class!
very interesting and tests are clear. suject is boring but she relates it well
a 16 chapter cumulative?! teacher is freakin whack! lectures are extremely boring. there's no point in going because she barely covers half the crap that we need to, which comes straight out of the damn textbook. take another teacher cuz this one blows.
GET ANOTHER TEACHER FINAL COVERS TOO MUCH

horribly BORING! :( write on board and erases it right after so you don't have time to copy everything. doesn't relate things to REAL LIFE well & i know this topic is something we see everyday! the book is expensive & you also have to buy a separate workbook to do the homework! i especially HATE how we have so much HOMEWORK & she collects it! UGH!!
She is a very good teacher. Comedic at times which helps through the lectures and to remember key points. If you go to lecture she tells you everything you need to know for the exam, you just have to listen. Excellent teacher!
Writes on the board in ALL CAPS WITHNOSPACESBETWEENHERWORDS. Uses a workbook that doesn't match the textbook, with homework assignments due on the day of each exam. Exams are confusing. Pretty boring class with a pretty boring professor.
She's pretty clear when she teaches. What she teaches is straight out of the book. You could just read the text and be fine w/o going to classes.
She talkes really fast and someone needs to show her how to put spaces on between freakin' words. She needs to invest some time learning how to use powerpoint or something cuz her notes on the board are useless. She gives tons of homework and the exams aren't that easy. Take this class with someone else.
worst teacher ever!!! unless you enjoy doing a lot of work avoid her. 4 exams and a final paper. not to mention the homework
She was horrible! She gives you these hw assignments, 4 exams & still a final paper. if you can avoid her please do! She is boring and very unlively
avoid this professor if possible. 10 long hw assignments, 4 60-question exams, and a big case-strudy/research paper due at the end of the semester. not only will this class bore you to sleep, she is just not a good teacher. mianly talks about experiments w/ rats and doesn't know how to make it relate to real life. come see for yourself. :(
Trust me when I say do not take this woman.I kno sumtimes I take a class even if there r bad ratingS but i'm telling you DON'T! 4 60 questions exams, a long essay/paper due a week after the 4th exam, and bs workbook hw due at every exam (and it very long). Exams worth 50%, hw 20%, and final 30%. too much work for an undergrad class! STAY FAR AWAY!!
Horrible teacher for this course. she gives written homework assignments that have nothing to with what you learn in lecture, tests are average in hardness, but has 4 exams with a take home final, she thinks this is the only class people take. oh ya, she looks like a lumberjack.
Dr. Bryant is great for general psych, however, don't take her for upper level psych courses. She's boring, but interesting at times. For general psych just read the book and you'll be fine for the exams. She's not bad for general, but for classes like cond/learn, abnormal, cognition, etc-don't take her. There are better ones for those.
gives alot of information. doesnt relate lectures to exams. especially the take home final. all experiments in class done on animals, never relates to humans, expects you to know how to on your own. teaches class like its a grad. level course.
if you want to fail, take this class. absolutely horrible teacher: can't understand her and can't see what she writes on the board. all about experiments & doesn't relate class to humans. didn't learn anything.
hate this class. 10 homework assignments, 4 exams, and a final take-home w/ 6 essay questions & a case study paper. and she doesn't even go over how to do the homework or what we should study. make life easier for yourself and take this course with anyone else.
take this class at ur own risk fati..dont whine bout it later..apparently shes ok for general psych
Awesome prof!Very down to earth and easy to talk to. Makes long lectures interesting and the class interactive. 4 exams, but no final. Make sure to read book for exams for an easy A. There is a term paper though about how psychology applies to your life (easy but long).
absolutely terrible! only talks about rats & pigeons. worst grade i've gotten in a psych class & its my major. so much pointless information! take this w/ someone else b/c apparently it's easy if you don't have bryant! WORST CLASS EVERRR!!!
Great Teacher. Very clear and to the point. If you want an easy A read the chapters ight befor eclass and you'll be fine.
Easy A, i never go to class, just read the text book and your good to go. But when i was there she was interesting to listen to real easy to take notes on.
Boring lectures! If you just read the book and take good notes you'll be fine. She makes do the RPU's and write the paper though. I didn't really need the study guide for her class but I guess it helps. Boring lectures!!
This was one of my favorite classes. Dr. Bryant is funny and interesting. If you study her notes before the exam you will do well in the class.
Easy class if you study! It's alot of material. She is funny tho and she explains the material in a relatable way. You will know her family inside out. Study the book! Her notes alone aren't enuf most times.
Holy Zeus, C+L is the most confusing class in the whole major. Seems like a nice person, but does NOT know how to teach the material. Just reads off her notes which are straight from the book. Tons of work from the book, which is expensive, and she grades on correctness, not effort. (Oh, and she really does looks like a lumberjack.)
Thank God there are 4 exams, non cumulative. Confusing material, & lots of homework which she grades but does nothing to help prepare for exam. Book is difficult to read, it's as if people take seemingly intuative ideas and make it as complex as possible. Will need to visit her often if u really want to get the material.
shes a nice lady and all, but she is the worst class i ever took. essay, 4 exams, and so much hw. very confusing and she does NOT know how to teach. trust me and trust the other comments on C+L. very, very bad class.
she's horrible...avoid her at all costs...monotone ...dry boring material. unhelpful.tricky exams... 4 exams, 1 paper, lots of homework...
She's crazy to be teaching this subject. She must know every single thing...yet, how are her lectures so confusing? She rushes through talking, i can't keep up. Please professor, have some mercy for the upcoming semester!
horrendous...dont ever take this class. its just so long and BORING and stupid and every day i cant help but say how much i hate this class along with everyone else. homework is stupid, final is stupid, material is terrible...just all around horrendous. also its pretty much useless for life
yes, the class was extremely boring, but she's actually a pretty nice lady. i got a D,F,D&C on the 4 exams, a D on the final and got a C+ for the class: do the HW! it's annoying and long and stupid but it will save you from failing.
This was my 2nd time with her. She failed me the 1st time. How in the world did the person who wrote the previous entry get a c+? I did about the same & did worse! wtfreak. ugh. Don't take her. She is very boring. I don't know how else to put it. Just don't take her.
Give her some slack, it's a hard class. Yes, the homework is tedious, but without having done it, I'm positive I would have failed, but it forces you to think about the material and therefore learn it better. Lectures are boring, but a class mainly about rats isn't exactly the most exciting thing in psych major. My grades - DCDDD & I got a C+
High use of book. MC tests. basically if u go to class you'll hear the audio version of the book, but what she stresses is what's on the test for badem. Read the book as if its the bible. Tests are hard- but the amount of work u put in = grade.
Clearly tells you in lecture what is important, but tests you on questions that you need to read in the book on your own. the book becomes your bible. That is life move on. yes its hard, yes she's impersonal, but it is what it is. take her if u like not going to class, and just reading the book on your own. in class she will emphasize the more impo
This is a very hard class. Her exams are very tricky too! She gives 4 exams, one right before the final. And then on top of the 4 exams, theres also a final! Don't take infant and child with this professor unless your ready to read the text book like a bible. There is a lot of memorization you need to do. Alot of prep needed!

Worst teacher EVER! You have to read this 600 page book and know EVERYTHING! That's not even the bad part, because she goes out of her way to make the exam questions as tricky as possible, meaning all the answers sound the same! I went to all the classes and di worse than my friends who never went because she is so confusing!DO NOT TAKE EVER!
Her class is very bland. She writes on the board in a big lecture hall thinking that everyone can see exactly what she is writing. Teaches right out of the book, but dont think you can get away with just reading it, you have to go to class to catch the random arbitrary things she mentions that maybe on the exams. DROP HER!
Hardest class by FAR! She is a very boring teaching, with no communication skills. Her exams are EXTREMELY difficult, because her question are not only tricky, but her answers all sound a like. Average grades in our class are D's - F's. Final exam is also commutative, which means you have to know 600 pages inside out.
unneccesarily hard class, very old fashioned style 5 total exams including 100 quesiton cumulative final. you can study your ass off for the exams but she just takes it that extra step further to make it nearly impossible to be completely ready for any exam. i took it for the 3 credits, this is definitely not a good class for that, good luck
TAKING THIS PROFESSOR IS EQUIVALENT TO BEING ANALY****BY RUSTY, JAGED EDGED, FLAMEING ROD.( NO LUBE ADDED). 4 HARD AS TEST 75 QUESTIONS EACH, FINAL IS 100. NO CURVE. LONGGGGGGGGG UNINTERSTING, BORING LECTURE. MORE INFO IN EACH LECTURE THAN THAN U LEARN IN A SEM IN ANOTHER CLASS. A GOOD COURSE RUINED. NEED TO LOWER UR GPA TAKE THIS CLASS.
4 exams (75 mc each) and cumulative final (100 mc). Exam 4 is one week before the final. Says she doesn't curve, but an overall 80% is an A. Can't ask her questions because she doesn't know the material. She just reads out of the textbook. Exams are unnecessarily tricky and frustrating. Take a different professor if you can.

Before the final my grade was a B, the final wasn't actually too bad, and i ended up with an A. A pretty hard class but the curve makes up for it.
Absolutley the worst professor I have ever taken, she is asbolutley ridiculous and if you go to extra help, she'll just tell you to study harder.

God awful like everyone else will mention. She reads monotone from the book, tests have a ton of ages. 4 exams, and a cumulative final. Need I say more? DO NOT TAKE
She was awful. Lectures were dreadfully painful to sit through. She lectured word for word from the text, not proving she knew anything. Just memorize the text to do well on exams. Too many exams (4 plus cumulative final), most boring and pointless lectures you could ever sit through. Do NOT take this with her. It's gotta be better with anyone else
I got an A in this course, but not without reading every single chapter and taking detailed notes on my laptop in class. I found it difficult and I am so glad it's over with. If you have the opportunity to take this class with another professor - trust me - DO IT! She is monotonous and her writing is incomprehensible. Interesting topic-Awful class!
teaches straight out of the book. wasnt hard, wasnt easy, just average. Im sure there are better psych teacher out there.
seems simple just reading the book but if your memory isn't the best i wouldnt recommend her. read the book for tests and get an easy C without going to class. if you're actually interested in psych i would suggest another teacher. 4 exams and a final paper, no homework
She knows a lot about the subject & you can tell she loves it. She's very quick with her notes (which she writes on the board) and with her explanations. She's short and to the point. You must be on time because she starts class right on time. Attendence is not mandatory, but I highly suggest you attend if you want to do good or just read the textbook
Cool teacher. 4 exams and 1 paper. You have to get 5 RPU credits or write an optional paper at the end of the semster. We watched a lot of videos in class which made it interesting. She is responsive to emails and reading the text book before exams help. Easy B, study for an A. She also curves if the class average is low
Class was boring but the she did a good job at making the lectures interesting with her examples and videos. Attendance is not mandatory but it may be wise to go. I got a B+ in the class and I focused on studying the text book.
She is a VERY boring professor. Probably only had 45 out of a 250-300 class show up to lecture. The powerpoints are online, so as long as you print them out, you really don't need to go to class. The exams are pretty tough, so be sure to read the book and the powerpoints. But, the upside is that she didn't have any homework/iclicker assignments.
It is one of the hardest level 100 class that I have taken. Some level 300 are easier. The only problem is that her test asked too many very detail questions that no one really remembers. While there is a final paper that boost your grade up, but it is still a hard class.
easy class. four exams, 5 RPU credits, one paper. exams reminded me of high school health tests. simple, but you have to read. make sure you use the study guide. prof bryant is very helpful and friendly
She was a boring professor in her lectures. But for the most part, she was pretty good since she posted her slides on Sakai, the paper that she assigned was an automatic boost to your final grade in the class, she gives 4 exams, and makes you do 5 RPUs worth of experiments. Got a B+ from her.
The slides are posted on sakai, but going to lecture helps because she explains the topics more fully. Some questions on the exams are from lecture alone. Final paper definitely boosts your grade.
Ignore the extreme comments!!! I got CDCC on my exams and got a B in the course- how nice is that? Slides are online so yo don't even have to go to class (I never did). No clickers or online assignments. NO FINAL! Just an easy paper about yourself.
truthfully.... shes not that bad. the book is rediculously long so i didnt read it. i went to class every time and she noticed because i got c's on the exams and i ended upwith a b+. just go to class and sit in the front, and participate and youll do fine
She's really clear and the lectures are straightforward. I cut a bunch of times and studied the slides online and got like 60s out of 75 points on exams. If you're gonna cut, make sure to put in a lot of studying time. But her lectures really are quite interesting and there's a fairly simple final paper instead of a final. Nice deal. :)
doesn't take attendance but lectures are very interesting and helpful.. exams are difficult, definitely read the book.. final paper will most likely bring up your grade
Hard exams and too many compared to other psych classes.. take it w someone else if u have the chance for ur own good
I went to class, studied slides,and it didn't help. By the time the second exam came around, the class average on both exams were in the forties. No curve was mentioned, or any grade at all, so I had to withdraw or risk failing.
terrible teacher,...you will learn nothing from the slides...read the book...take notes...never went to class and got a B+ ....exams are all situations and very tricky...there is a curve , apparently it's generous because I had a C+ and ended up with a B+ after the final paper
Tough exams. Lecture material was not interesting and voice was monotone. You have a choice of taking the final or writing a short final paper, which was easier to write up than I thought.
