Great professor. Goes over exactly what she wants us to read.Also has everyone read aloud in class to get an easy participation grade/points. One assignment about taking bubblebaths with rubber duckies!!! Reviews test material two classes before exam, and got an A in the class. Wish I woulda had her for PSY2012...oh well. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!

GREAT TEACHER! Her lectures are helpful for the final and midterm. You'll enjoy her class.
She is a cutie! She knows her stuff and makes learning fun, her lectures are helpful for the final and midterm. YOU NEED THE BOOK to follow along! Shes super funny and gives realistic examples.
This teacher is great...Very easy and she is always giving extra points for little things...she is serious about attendance and tardiness.....you will need the book for her class to go over especially for midter and final...she gives you all the questions on the test so you cant fail...
Dr. Sydnor is very funny and her class is great. She is very easy to talk to my down side was a lot of people in my class like to express they're opinions which gets a bit annoying. Very understanding and her class is simple once you come to class and listen.
this teacher loves her job as a psychology. take her class! she tells stories form real life experience into your lecture. her class is extremely easy
AMAZING teacher :] I love her class. Easy test and she tells real life stories. Also she is willing to listen to you if you have any problems. Come to class ON TIME and never miss a class & you will be fine :].
Very fair class. Nice teacher, Don't be late. But I most say, she treats students like kids instead of adults. Not too open-minded on opposing veiws. However she's very fair and helps you out if you need it.
Amazing Teacher!!! I love this lady her tests are somewhat easy and the assignments that she gives is a piece of cake I would recommend her =D
OMG! This lady is freaking awesome! She loves teaching and she loves talking about sex. Mind you, she is a certified psychologist and she's always making a "psychological analysis" as she would say on each student. Her assignments are all extra ceadit, and there are only 2 test. MIDTERM AND FINAL. You'll love this class! TAKE IT!!
LOVE HER shes the best very funny ..... never miss class and be on time.... and do all the extra credit... it helps and study and take notes for her test which are the mid term and final only depending what you average on the test can dramatically change your letter grade ...
She is The Best Teacher to take for Psychology. She's super cool, very funny, makes the class interesting and you learn a lot from her. Just attend every class period, write her notes down and you pass her class with an A!! I wish I could have taken her again... She?s that great!!
She is an awesome teacher. Really down to Earth and bold. Take notes, do the extra credit, and dont be absent and dont be tardy. She grades you on attitude and behavior as well. OVERALL she is a Great teacher, hands down.
Feminist. Guys watch out she will make you the laughing stock. Amazing Teacher though. Requires you to read what she tells you, sometimes she will make you teach the class in a group, tells you what will be on the tests. She helps you better understand by relating what your learning to real-life scenarios. Can't be late or absent more than 3x.
She is the best teacher EVER. She gives lectures and tries to relate to the class. her tests are not easy and requires you to STUDY alot and she does give EXTRA CREDIT but if you dont read the book and study then you ain't goonna pass. But i Luv her though she was interesting and made the class knowladgeable and yes she does teach you
OMG! I'D SAY TAKE HER RIGHT NOW!!!best teacher ever!!!!!!!! she's so down to earth and so cool about every subject! don't be late and don't miss class, also gives review b4 every test and only one writing assignment, not much hmwk. easy class and enjoyable!
I loved her ... Her tests are super easy just as long as you study material she tells you too... duh. easily related and very enjoyable class! She does weed out the week in the first week shell act strict and blunt but thats all a tactic . DON NOT BE LATE OR MISS A DAY OF CLASS.. one page essay and just two test a mid and final lots of extra credit
extremely outstanding professor
worst professor i've ever had. she doesn't even teach. she reads out of the book word for word, a child could do that. i'll admit, she knows her material, but she's a horrible professor. there are only 3 grades the entire class. i wouldn't recogmend her. for that, teach yourself and show up on test day.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! VERY FUN & ENERGETIC! EASY A! EASY EXAM! EASY ONE=PAGE ESSAY! SHE READS FROM THE BOOK BUT SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT! TAKE HER!
currently in her class...very witty//has you lasughing//she is big on attendance///wants dher students to do well// midterm was easy as 123...take her =)
BRILLIANT PROFESSOR. She is very adamant about attendance and arriving ON TIME. She is very witty yet relatable. The test were unbelievably easy, she gives test reviews and as long as you read the book you will do fine. The class was a VERY EASY A if you ask me. TAKE HER, you will be sorry if you don't.
SHE'S AN EXCELLENT TEACHER! very funny.. she does study guides before the test. She does like you to read the book. She gives EXTRA CREDIT. An easy A i would of gotten an A if i didnt miss my final exam
VERY EASY!!!SHES THE BEST PROFESSOR!!EASY TEST AND FINALS!!BE ON TIME AND COME TO CLASS!YOU SHOULD PASS WITH AN "A"!!SHE MAKES THE CLASS FUN AND GIVE EXTRA CREDIT!!
Professor Sydnor is the BEST! The fact that she's an actual psychologist she knows what she is talking about unlike some professors. Though she may get off track with her stories, her quizzes are a piece of cake. She gives test reviews, and make sure to READ READ READ! She likes when students read.
If you are INTERESTED in Psychology take someone else! I started off very excited about the subject but now I cant stand going to her class. Basically she just complains the whole time about our generation. If you just need a good grade take her. She tells us what to read(doesn't matter if you do) and never gives a lecture. Waste of time and money!
Humorous teacher, she is a fire cracker. Makes you read from the book aloud, relates what you read to real life. Wants you to write down everything she says word for word, but she talks too fast to get it all down. She is quick witted and has no problem calling you out. Lots of group presentations where you teach the class.
i love this professor, because this is the only professor that encourages students to read, and also she is very serious about her time. You have to be there not one minute late
Loved this class. We had discussions every class. She basically skims the chapters quickly and gives you reviews for each test.Whatever you do DONT BE LATE! and if your on time... YOUR LATE... come 5 minutes early and have a good attitude and shell love you. EASY A.. take the class!
Fun, witty and interesting to listen to! She makes reading from the book fun and not torture! Super easy when it comes to the grade and doesnt bs you with the complicated memorizing. The only negative thing i have to say isthat she tells you were to read up to and then gets annoyed if people dont read atleast a chapter ahead. But overall, AMAZING!
OMG! she is the best teacher in south campus very easy A trust me. i recommend her.
Love her! An amazing teacher. Very knowledgeable & funny. Super easy assignments and quizzes. It's hard to fail but she does take her time very seriously. Cares about her students but wont tolerate any foolishness. Reading from the text book is a MUST! Trust me, take her!
Awesome teacher, and the easiest grader at BC. Very, very funny lectures and she gives great review (she GIVES you the questions!) before each test so its hard to fail. Read the book and know a little and she'll go the distance for you. Need an A for your GPA? Take her!
One of the greatest teachers I've had in my time ever attending a School. She's very clear about everything. She always has something funny to say and keeps the class engaged. If I could have her as a professor again I would. The work is very simple, starting the class I didn't think I was gonna do well but ended with an A.
The best teacher I've had at BC. She talks and helps you understand the book through real life. I loved listening to her speak and coming to class. I recommend her.
She was really helpful even when you have a low grade she always provided extra credit work there is a review before a midterm and final she makes class funny and related to actual life so you understand everything there is not much homework or book work no power points just be present every class she goes thru every chapter
This class was great, I learned a lot about psychology. We used the book 100% of the time. The tests/quizzes were straight from the book, no tricks. The professor was funny and her class is enjoyable. I recommend this class to all.
This class is why I changed my major to Psychology. She made the class interesting and made it interesting. My grade was a result of hard work and paying attention. Reading was a huge plus. Made the test easier because I knew the stuff. READ THE BOOK.
Amazing teacher!! Dont be late and never miss a class. she really strict with attendance. Buying the used book is better. Read as much of the book as possible because she will ask you questions pertaining to the assign reading.Shes more willing to help you if you're helping yourself. If you read and study you'll pass. Attitude affects grade also.
I recommend her all the way she is an amazing person and even better professor cares about her students and their grades and teaches so you can actually understand, the best prof. I've ever had, no joke, I love her!!!!
She is very serious about attendance & punctuality but that's only bc she cares for you to learn, uses only the book, you MUST read, must pay attention in class, if you do you'll do good on the tests
BE ON TIME . She doesnt teach nor does she give lectures , she tells u what to read and you go home and study it , if u dont you wont learn . She is funny but very repetitive you will remember her life story by the 3rd week of class cause she forgets she already told us , she is a good teacher though & She didnt give us a final exam either so
She is a very straight forward teach from the jump. Her assignments are not hard at all and every easy to complete. She does not like people to be late, use the phone, or talk in class among each other unless in a group assignment thing. He class is all about the book so read if you want to pass with a high grade. Her quiz are easy. 1010
She was amazing. She was my favorite teach so far in the my college career. But if you skip class you will not pass. A little bit repetitive, she forgets what she says. I would take her class all over again if I wanted to.
Very great teacher . Class requires a lot of reading. Very good sense of humor. Amazing personality all around contagious joyful person
I love her, interesting convos so time goes by, easy quizzes all you have to do is read and be on time. If i could i would take her class again
Dr. Sydnor is a great professor and gives great lectures. I enjoyed going to class each morning to hear her stories and knowledge in psychology. Dr Sydnor has a a great personality and makes learning fun. However, get ready to read and do not miss any classes! This class is not easy but it you really want to learn about psychology, take this class!
Amazing teacher full of knowledge and an easy going person. Get ready to learn a lot only 2 papers a midterm and a final. I wouldn't say its an easy class but it is an overall fun class.
First day of class I thought I was not going to like Dr. Sydnor. However, I was wrong and I am glad I took her. She is a great person and she really cares. She can be a bit repetitive, but you will get use to it. Everything is from the text as she does not really give lectures. So be prepared to read before each class it is an ABSOLUTE MUST!!!
when I first walked into class I knew she was serious about us learning. ALWAYS BE ON TIME!! OR ELSE YOU WONT PASS. Her lectures are a good length. she is a very caring person & wants you to pass. very fun & funny personality. I loved her class and couldn't wait until 10 am to begin class. the class time flew by. would love to take again hands down
LOVED her! best psych teacher. she was really nice! will definitely take again ! great lectures.
You are basically teaching yourself, she just highlights what you have to read and that's it. The only good thing is she gives participation credit to help your grade with assignments too. Other than that you are basically your own teacher. She's serious about attendance
She is a nice down to earth teacher. You have quiz's that are 1-5 questions , she switched it up halfway through the class from 1 to 5. She reads from the book but she explains everything clearly.
Don't ever be late to Sydnor's class. Reading is a must. Always read ahead and follow her suggestions to the T. Her lectures are the most interesting and she always knows how to the make the content relevant and she puts the ignorant students in their place. She ensures that her students are working to the fullest potential
THW WORST WOULD NEVER EVER TAKE AGAIN! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO FAIL! YOU PRACTICALLY TEACH YOURSELF SHE JUST READS A HEADING AND THEN ONE SENTENCE FROM THE PARAGRAPH AND CALLS IT A LECTURE!
The only way you don't pass her class is if you are lazy. All she expects from you is that you read the chapter in advance and do the assignments (not many) exactly as she instructs you to. She wants to teach her students to be responsible adults so she does not tolerate tardiness or attitude. Other than that I got an A, anyone could.
She's a hilarious woman and teaches not only psychology, but life lessons as well. I recommend taking this course to anyone who's interested about learning about themselves and others. you must read your chapters though its the key to success. Also be sure to study for midterm, final, and stay on top of the little assignments and you'll be fine.
Show up to class, do the reading, leave your cell phone in your bag, and pay attention and there is no reason for you not to pass. Will only give a midterm and a final, but will not test you on anything that is not discussed in class.
This lady is amazing, her jokes are hilarious and she's so relatable. Read the chapters before class and you will be fine. Everything she talks about are in the midterm and final there's no trick questions either.
Best teacher ever, She actually makes me want to be a psychologist. Very smart and helpful. Will make you read but the information is interesting. Will take her class again if I can.
loved her class so much.. i wish i can take her again she actually made me want to change my major to psychology. i love her!!!! shes kind of strict but she reminds me of myself lol.
I loved her class, Dr. Sydnor is really inspirational. Be on time to class, and make sure to read, read, read. As long as you do this you will be just fine! I referred her to a friend of mine and she was very satisfied after completing the course.
just show up to class and read prior to class. class is easy she goes over the chapter so you can understand it more. made it clear and understandable. love her and will take her again. she is really easy pass her class with a high A
She is an AMAZING professor. I was a bit hesitant when I chose to take psychology but she made the class so much fun. She's insanely hilarious and is also sweet. Mostly reading, barely any homework. I'd recommend her to ANYONE.
IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN EASY A THIS IS TH PROFESSOR FOR YOU PLUS SHE GIVES ALOT OF ROOM TO MAKE THAT A.
Dr. Sydnor is very clear on her grading and attendance is required. Her lectures follow along with the book and both her lectures and book is very interesting. Show up early to class and read ahead, you'll do fine. Extra credit is available and she's very funny and passionate about her work and students.
Professor Sydnor has to be by far one of my favorite teachers at BC. She reviews all the chapters with you and brings real world problems of stories into class to make connections. She isn't hard, show up to class and DO NOT BE LATE. Follow her EXACT instructions when it comes to assignments and you will pass and enjoy the class. She's the best.
Took for spring semester and I absolutely loved her class. She really does care about her students. As long as you take the content seriously and you must read the text book you will get an easy A . Class interaction counts as well.
Prof. Sydnor is an amazing professor! Her class was very fun, and she is so funny! Be prepared to read and participate! There is a lot of reading but definitely worth it, it helps with the tests. I would absolutely take her class again.
Professor Sydnor is really such cool funny teacher. She explains the material very good and she makes class fun. You only have about 5 5point essays but those are easy too. Just dont be late to class and dont miss class.
She is an amazing professor. You definitely do a lot of reading. But as long as you do the reading you will never be lost. Reading will definitely help out for the tests. Basically if you don't read, you don't pass. By the way, she gives great lectures.
This is one of the best classes I have ever taken! Mrs. Sydnor is very funny and smart! She teachers real life lessons that we would need to know. The homework she gives is really easy! All you really have to do is show up and READ! THIS IS A CLASS THAT REQUIRES READING!!! But when is comes to the lecture, she just reads little parts from the book
GET HER! Shes an angel! Great sense of humor & easy A. You need to read, its a necessity! I had her on Fridays, every week we read a chapter. The discussions in class were interesting! There were 2 short essays, one page long and one essay, 2 pages. The midterm is easy & a test review for the final! Very understanding and the BEST TEACHER @BC!
you must be on time and read!!! besides that you should love this class! she's very smart and has a lot of stories and experience.
very very good professor
She is the best professor for psychology
This professor is sooo funny. I really enjoyed this class a lot. She's caring and really wants her students to succeed. She stresses over us reading chapters before we come to class. Just do her papers and study for midterms and finals and you should be good.
