Very challenging, if you study you do well on tests, slackers will fail.

She is a free spirit, so yeah shell interupt your group stuff. She is challenging, but you have to ask the right questions to get the right helpful answers. Overall I had a great time in her classes, take her if you want a fun challenge

I love her. She may be hard, but she is helpful if you just ask. Don't take her if you dont want to read, cus that is a must.

dr. c is a great teacher who is helpful as long as you know what to ask. 303 is a great class fun everyday. 313 is alot of reading but attendance isnt really necessary tests straight from notes.

i was terrified after reading the reviews on here i was so ready to switch out..but i'm glad i didn't! this class is sooo easy provided you read and study the textbook--she also prints out outlines that are helpful and is not mean AT ALL!! don't be afraid to take her class in the least--she is very energetic and funny!!

first of all she is great. you just have to go talk to her if you have problems and read. You may have to do work but i have learned more in her classes then any other. I strongly recommend her for 313. it is the best class i have taken.

i love dr. cat!! i don't know whya ll these people hate her and why they are saying these things!! i have never ever had a problem with her! she is really funny and really nice and she NEVER EVER has taken attendance in our class. the tests are really easy and the class is interesting. these people are just crazy.

Dr. Cat is amazing. I was so scared after reading all the comments posted on here, but she is amazing. She gives EASY hw and grades it and her tests are soooo easy. Also, she doesnt care if you dont come to class and she grades on a curve (any 85 or above is an A) TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, YOU WILL LOVE HER!

Dr. Cat keeps this class interesting, she seems very outgoing and is quite comical. She gives interesting homework assignments and explains things very thouroughly. She is an awesome prof.

Wow, I'm appalled by some of the reviews on here. Dr C was probably the easiest and nicest teacher I've had in all my years of school; the lectures don't do much but if you read the text like she asks, you'll do fine. The lowest grade I received was a 90 and that was after not reading a chapter for the test. Highly recommended!

She's an awesome person & i loved her sense of humor. The class was easy if you do the reading. No attendance policy and she grades easily. Passionate about subject and teaching. loved the class.

AMAZING TEACHER!! I absolutely loved her. She is very passionate about psychology and teaching. And she's very energetic and fun. Highly recommended!

Dr. Catanzaro is a great professor. She's really the only reason I woke up in the morning to go to class. She was interesting, funny, and kept the class entertaining for all. Learned a lot about psychology, and possibly may choose to minor in psychology due to the class. Really good teacher otherwise. Also, easy to get an A (85%).

She is very relatable. She uses funny examples in class that also help you learn. You have to read the text and study to get the A. She always offers help. Her class interested me and reinforced why psych is my major.

I had so much fun in this class. She usually just teaches right out of the textbook, so make sure you read in order to get the grade. She gives study guides for all tests. DO THE HOMEWORK - not that much and not that hard, but a big part of your grade. 5 tests, but awesome grading scale (85% and up is an A). TAKE HER!

Seems pretty nice for the most part, but then all of a sudden she'll snap at you when you least expect it. I felt bad for another student when I took her, the person asked a question she thought was dumb and gave the poor kid a nasty look. I don't get it, she has an attitude sometimes!

Very Beautiful

She gives you a lot of options for extra credit and she makes the quizzes for you to learn. I liked her a lot!

You've got to read the text, and if you take good notes on it, you'll be in great shape. Everything on the tests is directly from the text. Class is mandatory but somewhat chill. Some of the assignments take a lot of time but they're pretty easy.

I am not sure why there are so many bad comments about this professor. Yes the tests come out of the book, but so do her notes and her lectures. Rd the chapter along with the classes and study before the test and you should be fine. Her grading scale is also a lil easier than normal 87+ is an A! I liked her. Rd the green parts of the book!!!!!!

all you have to do is keep up with the reading and take notes as you read and you're golden. i think she's a great teacher! she really cares about your success as a student and gets that her class isn't the only class you're taking. she also lets us pick test formats and how we want it to be graded. i would recommend her to anyone!

Very scatter brained but amusing. Her tests are hard but if you study and know some psych background you will pass. She does give out a few papers but none of them were overly hard. She is very understanding and nice but she will use her psych training on you.

Prof Catanzaro is the best! Sure, she can be a little picky, but if you actually put a little work into it...you'll be fine. I took PSYC 202 and PSYC 313. You can earn extra credit in both. Psyc 202 is mainly small papers and tests. Psyc 313 is made up of tests and group projects. Great personality!

Great teacher. Really approachable. It's important that you read the text/take notes prior to class because she tends to explain ideas briefly and assume you know the details from reading. Her tests are hard but she gives weekly open-note online quizzes and journals to help raise your grade. I really liked this class/Dr. Catanzaro!!!

She's certainly not "scatterbrained." She (rightfully) assumes during lectures that you've actually read the assigned material, so if you're slacking off and not doing the reading, she might appear to jump around in lectures. Anyone who thinks she's giving too much work is in for an unpleasant surprise when they attempt other psychology courses.

I really enjoyed this class. She was always very engaging and always had interesting topics to talk about. She does diverge a little sometimes but not enough that it's annoying. I don't know what other people are talking about. This class is not overly stressful and I don't feel burdened by this class.

Pretty good teacher, good at explaining things although the lectures were very fast paced. Very entertaining woman, the tests aren't bad if you read the textbook and study adequately, but if you try to wing it you will fail. I recommend her

Awesome professor with a ton of personality!

Honestly, I loved Dr. Catanzaro. She's clearly passionate about psychology, which is clearly reflected in her lectures and one-on-one time with students. The only issue I had while I was her student was the difficulty of her tests. You most definitely has to study far in advance, and pay close attention to her lectures. Regardless, shes fantastic.

While the quizzes and tests were difficult at times, her lectures were always filled with interesting stories and anecdotes to help students remember class material. She's considerate of her students and loves what she is teaching. The class was a bit more challenging than I had expected but it was interesting and I learned a lot.

You can tell that Catanzaro is extremely passionate and knowledgable about the topic. She does several online, open note quizzes that help boost your grade and give you an idea of what to expect on the exams. Although it's not required, reading the textbook is definitely key to getting A's on exams! Would absolutely take her again!

This class is pretty fair in the assignments and generally what you should be prepared for for a college class. Tests are basically the only grades, so you should be prepared to try and ace those. She has awesome lectures though that are really engaging.

She's fun, although she can be political and opinionated. She really cares about her students and although I was in a lecture hall with her, she still managed to learn my name. I had AP psych in high school, and personally thought the class was beyond easy. I never studied and still got A's. However, some people seemed to struggle.

I really liked Dr. C! She is very funny and quirky which makes lectures more entertaining. There is a lot of reading but honestly if you enjoy psychology it won't be a big deal. She is definitely always there for you and makes an effort to learn everyone's names, even in my class with just about 100 students. She appreciates it if you participate!

I love Dr. Catanzaro! She is passionate about psychology and answers questions thoroughly and makes sure everyone knows exactly what's going on. The open note online quizzes are extremely helpful to prepare for the exams but make sure you read and take notes on the textbook, it makes everything much easier.

Dr. Catanzaro is a really funny lady who LOVES psychology. She uses really great examples to help her students understand material. There are open book online quizzes due at the end of each chapter that you can take up to 3 times and she takes the highest grade (really help boost your grade). Exams after every 2 chapters (makes it easy to study)

Dr. Catanzaro is a solid choice for a teacher. For this class she gives note handouts that are kinda confusing to read so I suggest taking your own notes. Before every quiz/test read the chapters in the book!!! If you read, you pass. Her lectures and tests are all based on the textbook. Overall good teacher and pretty easy A!

She is quirky and funny. She does everything in her path to make sure you understand the topic, can think/problem solve for yourself, and succeed. Will take one of her classes again if available.

She is VERY understanding of life outside of class. If you have other things going on, she is very flexible and generous with deadlines. Very kind and makes research methods not as boring, without killing you with work and 3 hour lectures. Gives class time to complete "lab" assignments.
