Success of the student isn't her priority. She likes to respond with a sarcastic reply. She could use a few therapy sessions. She must turn on the charm for her higher ups & peers. She also has a problem telling the truth.

She does not help with the research project. With the take home you cannot interact with others; might as well just take it during class time. She is absent a lot. If people miss the same problems year after year, then there should be change on her part. Book and teaching the same = lack of learnin.

She does not explain the rational of what she teaches. She shows all the steps on the board, but the book teaches it a little different. She is confusing and is not open to questions, although she encourages you asking questions. I would definitely not suggest you take her for this class. I have had her for other psych classes and she was fine.

She is very unclear, when it comes to explaining a subject. She does not explain things all the way and will keep you wondering. She is very nice but expects you read before class, and her stats exams are very difficult. If you want an easy A, then this is not your class. Research Methods is also very difficult and you will conduct a real study.
