Prof. Springer is awesome. I honestly have nothing negative to say about her.
funny but hard tests.
She is a terrible professor
PROFESSOR SPRINGER IS AWESOME. SHE GIVES GREAT NOTES AND MAKES SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. HER TESTS ARE A BIT HARD BUT IF YOU ATTEND CLASS YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM.
I had her for ss-510, and ss-520. She's a wonderful professor. But you better know your material otherwise you'll fail. Her test gets a little tricky sometimes.
Her lectures are very well presented, everything is clear and to the point. Granted, she is strict and her tests are hard. Putting that aside, I'd recommend her if you want the material delivered in a straightforward fashion.
This professor is the hardest teacher in the department of psy. She knows her stuff but she makes it harder thatn what it is, when it comes to testing you forget it, you wouldn't like to know. The only advice i can say is pay attention, don't ask stupid.
She is very hard. She could care less of anything. Test are word fillins and are very hard. You have to pay attention. If you put her on the spot you will see, she does not know much as from her lectures it felt that way.
She is the worst professor I have ever had!!! The tests are almost impossible to do well on. I would not recommend this professor to anyone!!!!
i think that she is the best teacher she explains everything clearly and easy to understand she writes good notes on the board and her tests are not so bad if u study.
i took intro with her. she's funny in class... but she makes the subject harder than it needs to be, that's for sure. if you could take someone else, do that
She's a great lecturer. Spoon feeds you the material at first, and gradually speed things up through the semester.Her exams will gradually become harder with more critical thinking skills involved. (You'll walk out of the final with a headache!) If you do well in her class, A&P will be a breeze.

I took her for both 510 & 520 and she is by far the best professor I've had. She doesn't tolerate crap from anyone and I respect her for that. Don't expect to pass her tests if you're going to just memorize the material. If you fail, blame no one but yourself.
I Love Her!
by far one of the worst professor i have ever met .She makes it immposible for u to pass her class. She appears rather disinterested in the sucess of her students. My advice stay far from springer.
She is mean some days, but there are days that she is happy. knows her stuff, but doesnt care about her students.
If you mess up on one class you will be screwed since she does not drop the lowest score. You have to pay attention in class to do well in her class and you must read the book.
She can be rude and determines your grade by all the 3 test she gives you. If you mess up on one test you will not get a good grade since she does not drop the lowest score. There are no extra credit. Her test are quite difficult too. You must have a clear understanding of the material in order to do well on the class. This is not an easy class.
THIS IS NOT A TEACHER THAT I WOULD RECOMEND. 3 TESTS ARE HARD SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GONNA BE ON IT. SHE DOES NOT REVIEW AT ALL "DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS" IS HER WAY OF REVIEWING. I HATED IT
tough tough woman...has major control issues...would not recommend
She puts you to work. Don't beleive you're gonna chill in her class you have to be on the alert.Knows her stuff.
She very clear on what she said at times. She makes you read the textbook for NO REASON. Her exam became much easier than they were before..
the worst teacher ever!!! do not take her!

MAKES THE CLASS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE. GREAT LECTURER, TEACHES WELL BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER. YOUR GRADE IS BASED ON TWO TESTS AND A FINAL. THAT MAKES IT HARD ENOUGH!THE TESTS ARE RIDICULOUSLY HARD. I LOVE THE WAY SHE TEACHES, BUT IT'S TOO DIFFICULT.
she's horrible!!! I would not recommend her because she makes things very complicated. She never gives her students any extra credit and student's opinion are always not aceeptable unless you prove it with data. i hate her.
No Comments
The vocabulary in the book and in class is easy to understand but her tests questions are very difficult to comprehend. If you want to learn about babies take her if you want to pass take someone else.
Very strict teacher, she is good at what she does, explains things well but she is tough, You got to pay attention and come to class. She makes the class very interesting and her tests are not that difficult if you pay attention in class.
TESTS ARE DIFFICULT IF YOU DO NOT READ THE BOOK AND STUDY NOTES. NO EXTRA CREDIT, HOMEWORK, OR ANYTHING. SHE JUST BASES YOUR GRADE ON THE 3 TESTS. VERY HARD. YOU MUST COME TO CLASS AND PAY ATTENTION. GOOD AT GIVING EXAMPLES, BUT IS VERY UNCLEAR. SOMETIMES RUDE AND PUTS PEOPLE ON THE SPOT. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND TAKING HER.
Worst professor I've ever had. She is rude, condescending, and not a good lecturer. I would NOT recommend her. If you want a good grade... don't take her!!
she caught all throughout the class, she is very rude to the students. She is the worst teacher in NewYork.
very disrespectfuly individual.
One of the worst teachers ever.Probably got issues at home and brings her issues to work( class). SHE makes it extremely difficult for students to succeed. Don't even consider her. I planned to go into nursing and she messed up my prerequisite GPA to getin, I had to change my major ****.
IF YOU ARE TAKING THIS PROFESSOR, STICK WITH HER, YOU WILL LEARN A LOT. NO HOMEWROKS, SIT BACK AND RELAX DURING LECTURES.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!
First of all, most of you don't like her b/c she doesent baby people. Most of you who did bad did so because you still belong in highschool. Grow up people we are in college, Cardoza is across the street.
She is a good professor, but she has a bad attitude. She needs to be more nicer, and respectful to her students we are all adults here. We don't act like babies she is not nice most of the time.
she is mean and gets annoyed easily
A lot of data to learn during the lecture. But 90% of it is in the text. So if you can't take good notes, learn how to read. She curves her exams. What more can you ask for?? QCC students are pretty dumb. I wonder how most of my classmates even graduated HS.

omg... this is the worst proffesor EVER ..she doesnt care about peoples opinions and she doesnt even care about your names .. her attitude is soo nasty.. why would you care if people are talking on there cell phones on a bus??
THAT WOMAN IS THE DEVIL! SHE KNOWS HER STUFF BUT SHE'S A U KNOW WHAT. IF U DO TAKE HER PLEASEEEEEEE MAKE SURE U READ AND STUDY ALL I MEAN ALL OF HER NOTES! SHE'S NO JOKE.
Horibble Teacher... She doesn't teach you well. Hard to understand her lesson... She teaches you like you already know the lesson.. Doesn't explain well... If I were you, I wouldn't take her class. Her tests are rally hard..
A Professor: A person that professes within their profession and conduct lectures in their field of study but also train young Students.Consequently, a professor who hold Tenure is virtually inmune to dismissal and has an appointment for life the reason for the existence of tenure is the principal of Academic freedom and not to descourage Students.
She is a very intelligent lady.. She doesn't take any crap... Meaning she doesnt answer stupid questions that people didnt put thought into be4 asking.. the tests are tough but if you studied your notes and read the assigned pages you will be fine....The multiple choice questions are a little tough but read carefully...Be quiet and respectful
Very difficult professor, must come to all classes and read text, but she does keep the class very interesting and u will really LEARN PSYCHOLOGY!
She is the best professor I took at QCC. I'll admit her tests are not the easiest, but her notes are extremely helpful and she is always willing to answer any questions. It is true that she does not want to know your names, but that is simply because she does not want her grading to be biased. This is the most interesing class I took in this school
if ur a good note taker then take her!! she's good but her test are hard..a lot of memorizing.. and she gives 3 test.. test #2 is the hardest so be ware!! don't take her if u want an easy A
professor springer was a horrible teacher who could not teach at all. it is very diffcult to understand what she is talking about even with reading the text book. the tests are extremely diffcult and makes it impossible to pass. everytime you try to answer a question ,she always says where is the data? which is very annoying and acts as though she
This Professor plays no games!!! I found her attitude to be very cold and her teaching was not very clear...it almost feels like you have to teach yourself the material---I seriously suggest for all students to take a different professor (other than Springer)for Intro to Psychology.
the worst professor i ever had. springer has a real nasty attitute and thinks of people as social security numbers. she has no respect for any of her students and the exams are extremely diffcult. avoid taking her class and stay away from her.
She is smart and knows the topic well But she gets crabby if you ask her a question and kind of makes you feel like an idiot.. Its weird b/c she encourages you to ask..But her exams are very tricky and she does it intentionally
Professor Springer is a very disrespectful indivdual and antisocial towards the students. Her teaching was unclear, gets very annoyed when people asks questons, and humilates them. Avoid taking this professor, since you don't learn anything.
The worst professor ever, Springer is a very nasty individual that needs to treat her students and other with more respect before critizing and humilating others. Is not intrested in the success of her students, and the exams are make diffcult on purpose. avoid taking her for psychology.
Her test are curved and fairly easy. Most her questions comes from her lecture. As long as you pay attention in class, you'll do fine. I tool her twice- intro to psych and human growth and development. I ot an A in both class... all without much studying. All I did was go to class and actually listened and take notes.
She is a great teacher. Her tests are hard, but they come directly from your notes. The only people that are complaining about her are people who are bitter that they did bad in her class, yet they should be blaming themselves b/c if they studied their notes like she tells everybody to do, they would have earned an A. Its not rocket science people.
Springer's attitude towards the students is quite cold, rude, and digusting. She humilates students and makes them feel stupid when they attempt to answer a question. Her tests are diffcult on purpose and her teaching sucks since her lectures and notes are confusing. you will regret taking this professor.
She is a very good proffesor, but Unfortunetley she try to showoff her power in the class. tests are xtremly hard. Ratin s@#$s. You learn alot from her class. but you will not get a good grade. I got my A after workin my A#! off. Its not worth it. cause there are other good prof in this college... Trust me!! U take her, u will end in depression.Glu
I used to love the field of psychology before this class, but this professor completely ruined it for me. I would not recommend her to anyone. I got all A's except for her class. Now I may not be able to get into the Nursing program because her grade brought my average down. She is very unapproachable and not helpful at all. Grades were very unfair
She based our grades on only 3 exams. I took amazing notes and most of the stuff that she lectured on wasn't even on the exams. There were no reviews for the exams. I studied very hard for her class and was not able to get an A. That makes me wonder if anyone in our class got an A. She's menopausal now, so if she was mean before, she's worse now.
I feel bad for anyone taking this crazy moody evil professor since Springer does not explain things very well and catches a ****y attitude when people don't do things her way. She bases the grade on two exams and a final and there is no review sheets or extra credit. The exams are made diffcult on purpose and I think Springer fails the students on
If you taking this class good luck. she doesn't teach well you have to end up teaching yourself.
This professor is weird, like displaying her childhood experience on her attitude. Test is fair, if you study a little and go to class, you will get an easy A. The Class is boring. She seems to make the easy subject complicated. Don't argue with professor, cause you will get nothing. good luck if you have her.
Tough teacher, her tests are extremely hard, and tricky, with a 21 point curve the class average was 75. She explains everything clearly and gives examples, but she is tough, it?s a rough, i dont recommend it if you want to maintain a high GPA
This professor has some serious social problems when it comes to talking to the students. This nut thinks she can disrespect people that way she wants, because she has tenure. Who cares if you have tenure? Learn to treat students with the respect that they deserve. Springer spends more timing badgering students with learning. Very nasty person.
I took all of Dr. Springer's classes. Yes, she's hard but that's because she has respect for the discipline she's teaching. She was one the most influential teachers I've ever had. She teaches you how to THINK critically. Take her class if you want a true understanding of psych. If you take good notes and study off of that, you should be fine.
The only real words to sum up Springer is rude, arrogant, cold, egostistical, and a ticking time bomb that has a bug up her ass. Extremely unapproachable when asking questions and condescending.
She doesn't coddle her students and wants them to think for themselves. im a psych major now, and i still remember the lessons she taught. Wasn't that difficult to get an A either...Would recommend if you are interested in psychology and have half a brain :)
However says that this women knows how to teach, must be out of their damn minds. I found Springer to be one of the most nastiest and hardest professors at Qcc that I have ever encountered. When I look at her, I see someone who cares more about being a dicator than a teacher. I felt like I didn't get squat out of the class. Avoid at all costs.
I've encountered "tough-love" professors like her in other 4-year schools [Barnard, Columbia U,CCNY].That means she has high expectations of students and grades with a critical eye.However, it does not mean you can't do well in the class. If you do achieve an A in the class, consider it an A well-achieved in a 4-year school. Nursing Dept loves her
I took Prof. Springer my first semester at QCC, although she is hard it's nothing you can't do well in. It's college you need to work hard to get good grades. She is not there to be your friend but have you walk away with knowledge on the subject she teaches. As long as you show up write notes you will do fine. Prof. Springer if you read this you
I was also a fellow student that had the evil springer in my first semester. I don't expect all college professors to be your friend, but at least have some damn manners and courtesy which are skills Springer lacks. I am not bitter, but I am proving a point that some professors only intent on bring down a students morality.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER.. PERIOD!
I would recommend avoid taking this professor since Springer reminds of the evil devil that loves to cause and havoc around her, which her attitude reminded off.Very distant and cold like a shark that seems to be in it for the money than teaching.
Excellent professor! she attempts to be biased free thats why she doesn't give a damn about names and thats the way to go. I read a lot baseless complain about her ,but if you are ready to work you will get a justifiable grade. I see a lot of inflated grading ,but with Springer you get what you merit.Other professors should adopt her policy of usin
I found Springer to be the worst professor ever at Qcc. She is such a monster that humilates students and takes no interest in getting to know them. There is no review for tests or final, so you pretty much screwed in that class.
She gives handouts that you can use to take notes and 98% of the test are taken from lecture and notes. She also gives a retest to improve your grade, and extra points in class if you excercise some critical thinking. If you cannot understand why she tries to be unbias by not knowing names, maybe you shouldn't be in college
I actually found Springer to be the teacher from hell. I felt that she made no effort to connect with the students in the class. I also hated that she wanted use to write our social security numbers on our exams,which I felt was a breach of privacy. I also felt that she gives people an attitude when asking a question. She makes people feel dumb.
Hard Grader....The worst Mood swings
I found Springer to be a very hard person to please. It was almost as though she was setting out to fail the entire class, depending on her mood swings. She is not helpful with her lectures or teachings at all. Very unapproachable when asking questions. Stay the hell away from her, since most people won't do well in this class.
horrible professor, must people failed her class and other only got a D. if you see run from her
She is the best.Wish I could lisen to her lectures again and ..again ..amazing profesor
She is the best.Wish I could lisen to her lectures again and ..again ..amazing profesor
I thought this professor was crazy, since I felt rather uncomfortable in her class and she tended to make people feel worthless. However said that she will pass people is wrong, since she is a tough way.Stay away from her if possible.
SHE IS THE WORST! If you want to make your life harder then it already is by all mines necessary go a head, but if you want to have a little fun and actual learn something with out being insulted take MARSHALL PELLER he so much better!!!!!
She is the worst of her kind in terms of teaching both attitude and professionally. Not a very pleasant to be around and shouldn't be teaching.
She was helpful if need be. however, the way she teaches is hard to understand. I study vigoursly for her tests, and it never benefit me because her test were extremly hard. And if u read the text thats provided for this coarse it will confuse you as well. I personally will never tak her again, For any social science coarse.
The way that she teaches the class was rather hard and her tests were very difficult. It seems as though a lot of people have a hard time passing her class. Would not recommend since she tends to be rather grouchy and cruel towards students.
To the ppl that are hating on her college isnt elementary school no ones holding your hand.I'm taking the class now and yeah its hard but tough luck I bet i'll know 5 times more getting lectures in springers class than some professor who gives out easy A's and the name thing btw are you people retarded she's not your mom or your friend.
The way I see it, if you want somebody who is grouch and inhumane teacher then she is the one for you. However if you want somebody that is more compassionate, then she is not the choice for you. However says this women is great, I disagree. This women is pure evil and seems to hate everybody. Avoid her at all cost and a headache as well.
A real nasty lady with a huge ego problem who treats her students as though they are beneath. I don't think that she should be teaching since she is not at all approachable and friendly when asking for her help. My advice is to avoid taking her at all costs since you don't really learn anything and her exams are very hard on purpose.
Prof. Springer is an excellent teacher, probably the best teacher that I have ever had. She explains everything in great detail! She makes sure that the students understand the material before moving on.I really don't get the negative comments!! Maybe instead of complaining you should have spend some time reading and you could have gotten an A !!!
The way I view Springer as that it seemed that no matter how hard you try to read the text or ask questions, It felt as though it didn't really matter since I think she depises her students and her job.
She's crazy. BUT a REALLY GOOD Professor. She makes sure that everyone understands before she moves on. She's passionate about teaching, and appears to be anxious for her students to grasp the material that is beig taught. However, she's unapproachable and grouchy! I like her in a weird way.
I would not recommend taking Springer, since she is very cold and a calculated being who seems out to fail her students. She does no review for the exams which don't help at all and is very mean to her students. I would recommend taking a different class.
she is overall not a good professor is cold and bitter. She is hard to talk to and sometimes she gets upset when you have a wrong answer. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS !if i could turn back time i wouldnt have choose this class.
Goshhh i love her she's great. Idk her class is kinda difficult but she makes sure everyone understands. I've never written a review for a professor but with her I just had to. She can be mean but she's so interesting and funny it's soooo weird xD I love going to her class. Its interesting and shes soooo knowledgeable Awesome way to end my week :D
she is a great proff. her tests are type difficult but if you study you'll be fine. she can be mean at times but overall she is great at teaching and making sure everyone understands the topic. take her !! she's very interesting
I guess there are some students that will like Springer more than others. However I thought that the women was a utter horror both as a professor and a person. I felt that she was very cruel to her students and would make them feel like crap if they answered correctly. not very approachable either and wants social security numbers on exams. Avoid.
Great lecturer, professional, knowlegeable, and thorough. She talks clearly but fast; you must be able to write or type quickly. Her exams are difficult. She requires you to be able to identify, apply, and summarize the material. She is straight foward, and border line rude at times. I suggest that one not take core science courses along with hers.
Shes a cruel woman who does not help you. Although sometimes her lectures are interesting her test are hard. You can taka retake test but that test itself is even hard. You cant ask your any questions because she will get mad and I studied day and night... still ended up with a horrible grade. I regret taking her she brought my GPA down.
She really knows her stuff and teaches from a couple notes & from memory. She lectures for the full time and makes the concepts easy to understand. Take good notes BY HAND and read the book. Her exams are mainly her notes, the book just clarifies & expands. Her exams are straight forward and exactly what she said in class.
If i were u guys i will really choose another professor because this lady is not helpful at all. She will only help u put your gpa down.. her test are hard and tricky..
I would agree that Springer is not worth taking since her tests are very hard and she is not a nice person. I don't know she can still be teaching if all she does is treating her students poorly.
She is a professor who don't give class note. Everything are depend on the tests. Her test are very tricky. SHe is the professor that can bring students grades down.
Everybody saying this prof will bring your GPA down: Don't take this prof's class if you can't read and don't understand abstract concepts. This is an interesting prof who will teach you a lot if you impress her. If you don't feel right about it, drop early: it won't get any better. She can be abrasive, but worth it for what she can teach.
Tries to make you look stupid. No matter how much you think you understand, you will always barely pass. DO NOT TAKE HER
I found Springer to be one of the most disrespectful and horrible professors that I ever meet. She tries to belittle people who don't agree with her methods and constantly has an attitude. People like her should not be teaching since she thinks of students as social security numbers Come on Lady, treat people better.
Basically add 5 points to your final average and that should have been your grade. She goes by her archaic notes and sometimes book contradicts it. Not too clear but major concepts are well taught. The downside is that u will be taking a lot of f'in notes because she doesn't allow recording nor laptop. On avg I took 4 pgs front and back. If u care.
Prof Springer really knows her stuff. She explains in a motivated way. take good notes and you can do ok. tests are hard but she grades fair. she is tough but fair.
Worst professor ever. She is so cruel and mean. Do not Take her if you want to keep a good GPA. She will definitely bring your GPA down. She makes you feel like stupid if you don't get the right answer. Although, her lectures are interesting her tests are damn Hard and tricky!
I found this class to be one of the worst experiences of my life since Springer is cold and rather calculated human being that seems to take pride in making people suffer.
She is very rude and not helpful at all. I do not recommend her. She definitely will bring your GPA down. Her tests are very hard and tricky.
To sum it up, please refrain from taking her. If you think your GPA is too high and you want to lower it, you can go ahead and take her. The coughing in your face alone with make you sick. STAY AWAY!!! DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.... YOUR GPA DEPENDS ON THIS...
I would say that this was the worst professor I ever had at qcc since she is a very nasty person pretending to be nice while it is clear that she looks down upon her students with contempt and disgust.
You can tell she wants you to know the course! Her exams are pretty HARD. Her lectures are interesting.. I had all A's except this class..
DO NOT TAKE !!!!! she is very disrespectful and rude ! save yourself the failure!
Professor Springer was one of the most disrespectful professors that I have interacted with. I am an A student and have been throughout my entire college career. She is unclear. This is the lowest grade I ever received. Im now a Nursing major and im doing great in Nursing classes. STAY AWAY FROM HER ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE YOUR GPA!!!
I'm a student who gets all A's and a few B's, but I received a C- in her class. Her exams are extremely tough, they don't reflect the material in class. Every question is a "trick question". Her lectures are hard to follow. She looks down upon students who seem to be struggling. Poor leader, educator and motivator. WOULD STAY FAR AWAY FROM HER.
DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take any of her classes unless you want to mess up your GPA!
