Not a great deal of "teaching" pre se. The text book which was suggested to buy did not ultimately reflect the units of sudy...most of those are in Course Compass. The final is exactly what Dr Boyd Tells you..no hidden adenga. You need to write quite a bit to get full points for discussions and your research paper. Good Luck!

Assigned text book is a waste of money. All of the readings/test questions are directly from the Course Compass. Material is interesting..and discussions are compelling. The instructor is condescending to any student to poses a question..she will ultimately answer. It takes talent to convey that level of patronization..she does it well.

Mrs Boyd is an easy going professor. She issues her share of the work but doesnt make it extremely difficult for you to pass her course.

Got an A. The tests are tricky. The discussions were fun. For a 3 credit 5 1/2 online summer course the 12 required videos(6 were 30 minutes/ 6 were 1 hour long) were ridiculous because outlines with 5 major topics were required for each videos(Amounted to 30+ pages). Writing about the videos would have been a better format.

You must read the book to be able to answer the quizzes and the quizzes are not easy, they make you think! You have to complete a video journal which consists of watching 12 videos and writing an outline on each, start this early its very time consuming,mine was 25 pages. Keep in mind SHE wrote the book you will be using but I ended up w/ an A.

Test & 2 discussions due every Sun. Tests are hard & tricky. u literally have to read every word of her notes and text to get 100. Very info intensive! Tests would take 2-4 hours to finish. Video notes took over 12 hrs ( 5 videos; an hr long each). Final took 7 hrs to find the answers. It was ok- but lots of time required.

A bit of reading but easy. 13 quizzes ("Learning Checks") w/15 questions each through Canvas, each sub-chapter through Pearson has a quiz with 5 questions, a short writing assignment (500 words) and a final. A lot of extra credit if you need it too. Almost everything is open to complete from day 1

She is an amazing teacher. She motivates students to do their best and makes sure you follow trough with her expectations. midtap assignment's you have 3 tries and exams you can retry if you get the questions wrong .In the research paper she expects you too know the material for full credit. Class was fun not stressful. Accepts late work

I took her for 8 wk class. Easy A. Great professor overall. I had 4 quizzes, mid-term and final, along with 3 video reflection short essays (2 paragraphs). Answers in her book or online. Not a class to stress about, but involvement matters so that you can get an A. Take her, she is the best choice out of the PSYC teachers I saw.

She wants all of us to succeed and gives us many extra credit opportunities. If you read the textbook and study, you'll pass the exam. There are questions from the textbook that are short. Do the discussions on time 100 words each paragraph. Not as hard as I thought it would be. The assignments were due every Sunday. One term paper. Easy grader.

Dr. Boyd was great. Her course wasn't bad at all. It's definitely a lot of reading and discussions. And as long as you read the required chapters you should be ok once the quizzes and exams come around. The final was pretty tough but if you know your materials then you should be able to pass.

Just finished fall semester with Professor Boyd, and she is amazing. You get extra credit by responding to her announcements in Canvas. She also allows you to submit your work late, but for -10pts. Her syllabus and grading is very clear. There is even a grading formula posted. Assignments are done through Cengage/Mindtap, and are fairly easy.

She is an amazing professor and I would highly recommend her! She gives you extra credits if you reply to her announcements! The only issue is, there will be two Data Analysis Projects and her instructions will not be very clear and you need to message her to clarify about it.She gives you a second chance even if its wrong. Its an easy class!
