Good teacher but you have to read all the chapters. She's very interesting and the class time goes by very fast.

She definately knows her stuff, but you have to read the chapters of the book and not count on lecture notes only

Dr. Cook really knows her stuff. Her tests are hard as she gives part essay and part multiple choice. Give all the details you can when answering essay questions and by all means READ YOUR TEXTBOOK!!! Alot of the questions on the test come from the textbook.

Dr. Cook is a good teacher. Her teaching style is slightly different than the norm. Her examples are educational, entertaining, and easy to recall on tests. The only people I would not recommend her to are those looking for an easy A.

Great teacher. Lectures are entertaining, but tests are difficult- You do have to pay attention and COME to class - Serious students need only to apply- She is certainly the most attractive teacher on campus -

lectures are great and very informative. tests are very very difficult. must read and re-read book and notes. she is very funny! the project is fun and not too difficult. if you make a "c" in her class, that is like a "b" in another due to her toughness. serious students only!

one of the hardest teachers i have ever taken. not for people who dont like reading. but when you leave her class even with a c, you are GLAD you took it bc you actually learn something. she is halleriouse too!

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Trust me.

Dr. Cook is by far one of the hardest professors i have taken. her tests are very detailed and everything requires memorization. her class is definatly not for the ppl who come onve every week, you must come every single day to pass. as hard as she is, i had SUCH A GOOD TIME in her class. TAKE HER!!

Dr. Cook is awesome and I am not just saying this because I got an A. I worked my BUTT off in this class. You have to read the chapters and go over the notes.My strategy was to read the chapter first then, go over the notes for the chapter.Do the potential essay questions last.Great Professor!

She was incredibly hard, but was so helpful.

dr. cook is awesome. she really cares about her students which is rare!

You will work, you will learn, you will laugh. If every psychology professor was this good, I would change my major. A+++

She is an awesome teacher. She has a lot of funny stories that relate to the chapters. You have to read and keep up with the nots. Also do the essay questions before the tests! They help. She is really hard but a really good teacher!

Really interesting, makes you do work, but it is not too hard. Very good class.

Dr. Cook is awesome! She is so nice and very smart. She explains everything very well and will answer any questions. She is very fair and her tests are good. I am taking her again.

Dr. Cook is Super. Really takes interest in her students. Answers any question you may have if it is class material or not. Has great stories that relate to the class material. I am taking her again this semester.

I love Dr. Cook. She let us decide the format of class and of her tests. She makes the lessons very interesting and relatable to everyday situations. Her class is very interesting. Tests aren't bad, as long as you do the study sheets. Pay attention to her stories in class, because she asks extra credit questions on the tests about them.

Great teacher. The class is hard, but her examples and visuals help a lot. She always keeping the class interesting and almost fun.

Very good teacher.

I enjoyed the class at the beginning but it became a little monotonous at the end. You definitely have to read the book to do good on the test because the study guide she gives is not very helpful. Overall I enjoyed the class.

This class in very hard if you don't like to read. You HAVE to read the book to pass!! She doesn't give much extra credit. Study guides aren't too helpful, but I would suggest doing them. Test are HARD!!

She has a great sense of humor. Her tests are a little difficult. I learned so much in her class that I could later apply to other classes. This is not an easy class, so be prepared to study. She does make the class fun and very enjoyable though. If you get the chance, I would highly recommend you take one of her classes.

Dr. Cook is tough, but she's a good professor, and you'll learn alot. Her tests are pretty difficult, although they mostly come from the book. Lectures are always interesting. She can be quite animated, which makes them all the more fun

Dr. Cook is an outstanding teacher! Read the book, pay attention in lecture, ask questions if you need help and you will do well in a challenging, but very entertaining class. She has a great sense of humor and makes class worth attending. She is very willing to help those who need clarification.

Come to every class and pay attention 100% and take very very good notes, and the tests are manageable. Coming to class isn't a chore at all because she's entertaining and very thorough. I love her! She's one of my favorite teachers. And she teaches this class very well. I've learned so much about LIFE, not just useless textbook facts.

I loved this class and Dr. Cook! But don't get me wrong, you'll have to try in this class! Dr. Cook knows her stuff and loves what she does. Her stories are the best, they all have a way of tying in real life events with things you need to know and understand. Take her if you are interested in psychology and understand it pretty well. Loved her!

No question, she is tough. You really have to read and stay on top of things or it will leave you behind. Her lectures are very interesting, and she always has good examples of concepts, and if you're ever unclear on something, she is always willing to help. She's good enough to make me take her a second time.

Dr. Cook is amazing! She's extremely sweet and funny and is great at applying complex concepts to real-world situations. She's helpful and warm outside of class and welcomes your opinions and class discussions. Her tests are difficult and you have to read the book to comprehend everything. The practice tests she post on e-learning are a great tool.

She doesn't hold your hand during the course. You are required to learn the material but if you take her practice test and listen during class you will do well. I didnt read the text but some people had to in order to understand the class. She grades kind of hard but fair. I always thought I did well on her test and was surprised by the grade.

She is very interesting and has a passion for what she teaches. You must read the book or you wont do so hot. Also her Tests are pretty tough so a little extra studying might help. Other than that, she is an excellent professor

The class was hard but manageable. She is a great teacher who really knows her stuff. Someone stated that she just reads from power points and that is very far from the truth. She always makes class fun and interesting! Her real life stories make things easier to understand. Don't get me wrong she is tough but worth it.

Very nice, gotra pay attention and take lots of notes, but well worth it

Dr. Cook was so fun to be around. She made human growth fun. She always has a story to go along with everything. Takes lots of notes, and pay attention in class. Don't miss a day or you will be behind. Test are multiple choice but are hard.

Dr.Cook is an awesome teacher! Really knows how to explain concepts. Great stories and available for help! Hard test, but they are manageable. She does not baby students. She also wants you to pass! Take her if you want an interesting class. She is very funny!

Interesting, but very hard. I paid attention, took notes, etc. The first test came out of left field. She doesn't do a review & her study guides are too general. READ & STUDY THE BOOK, not her powerpoints. She is full of great information, but not much of is on the test. Nice & helpful. Not an easy A but most people passed.

Dr. Cook is a great professor. However, you must read every chapter in order to do well on the test and in class discussions. Did lots a of group work which I'm not a big fan of. Her test are pretty hard. She does expect a lot out of her students. Has a few out of class assignments that will help your grade out. Would take her again If I had to.

Dr. Cook is awesome. Tough, but very fair. Genuinely interested in her students success. Reading the books not such a big deal, I never did and got a B in her class. I also skipped a lot, but passed every test.

Dr. Cook is a fun teacher, but you must read the book to do well on the test. Her tests are not bad if you read, read, read. She does want you to do well. She grades her assignments fair and gives extra credit opportunities. However if you take her class through elearning you must attend class every week! Great instructor!

While her class is not easy, especially if your not interested in psychology, she is very helpful and a great instructor.

If you are familiar with the textbook terms and the information contained in her Power Points, you can definitely make an A in this class. She is friendly and helps those who need it on the side. Class time is primarily spent watching / listening to her Power Point presentations.

Helpful! Tests are hard, you have to read the book to make good grades on them.

Diane Cook does not encourage class discussion, as she is dead set on getting through ALL the material on the syllabus, so she talks all the way through class and uses slides. You won't make above a B- on her tests if you don't read each chapter more than once, and thoroughly. Harsh grader. Gives quizzes and essay questions on D2L material.

Overall good teacher. I wish her lectures were a bit more clear and on topic. She is very entertaining and keeps you laughing but doesn't teach the information very well. You MUST read the book cover to cover to be successful in this course. If you need help, she is definitely willing to help!

gives amazing examples and loves to tell jokes. there are daily lectures but all worth it. pop quizzes but always tells you a head of time. the textbok is used before every class at home. she literally gives you the questions that could possibly be on the test in the lecture. she will also give a lot of examples to help remember definitions & chart

Love Dr. Cook! You'll definitely want to read the book and go through all study guides to be sure you're learning all the material for tests, but I've certainly never had a problem. She encourages plenty of class discussion and keeps the class very interesting. She's also always been incredibly friendly and helpful.

Dr. Cook does an excellent job making the immense amount of information she has to teach relevant with a ton of examples so students can relate. Her course is straightforward and she doesn't load you down with crazy group projects/papers. You do have to read/study for her tests and if you do, A's are easy to obtain. Would definitely recommend her.

Intersting examples, no papers, and relatively easy tests if you study. Everything is very straight forward as long as you pay attention and put forth the effort. Not as easy of an A as I expected going into the course, but it wasn't bad. Solid choice for PSYC 1101.

Mrs. Cook is a good teacher. She is really nice, and she's funny. Her class does involve reading a lot from the textbook. If you don't read the textbook, don't expect to pass. She does give you the opportunity for extra credit, so take advantage of it. She takes advantage of the she has with you in class, so I do recommend to no miss class.

She does fantastic lectures and uses hilarious examples. There are online quizzes for each chapter (make sure you at least skim the chapters to know where to find info for the quiz), 4 big written assignments, and a cumulative final. Get ready to put in a lot of work for this class!

Easy class. If you dont pass youre just lazy. I read the textbook for the first test and got a C. I stopped reading the textbook and focused on the PowerPoints and her notes on it and aced the rest of the tests including the final. She drops your lowest test and theres a research project at the end that will raise your entire grade by 5 points.

Dr. Cook was a really goof professor to take for human growth and development. You have a quiz for every chapter, but they're all online. 10 minutes for 10 questions. You have to read the book to really know the material, but it's not hard to pass. Two papers and a final as well. All together, she's a good professor.

Dr. Cook is a very personal professor. She keeps lectures up beat and ties in a lot of her own stories to help relate course materials to real world examples. For our class we had an online quiz for every chapter along with 2 assignments (papers). You need to read for the quizzes and put in some time on the paper. No tests in class.

Ms. Cook is a super nice woman. Her lectures are interesting and entertaining. Her quizzes for the reading are nothing to do with lecture. She lectures over the broad stuff and the quizzes ask for specific numbers and such. I had to spend 15-20 hours just reading the text to make 70-80s on the quiz. Dont take if u have hard classes with this

She was a really good professor especially given the circumstances that class was mostly online work. She didn't give out too many assignments. We had quizzes with a minute for question and the final was the same way. We also had discussion posts due every few weeks and as long as you follow her instructions you should do well in the class.

Nice, kind. Grades were made up of only 5 exams and 19 quizzes. Unless you are a great tester, only having quizzes/exams makes it rather difficult to improve your grade. She request a textbook and I DO recommend it! She is a great lecturer but covers A LOT of content, she does repeat some concepts to help concrete the material which is nice.

She is very kind and easy to work with. Shes very easy to talk to and makes an effort to be very accessible to her students for questions and help with the material. The tests were fine as long as you read the book and paid attention during class. For the final paper she was very helpful and it would be difficult to not do well due to her help.

Prof. Cook really cares about students. And she is open minded to new/different ideas. Her expectations are clear, but reasonable. Work hard and she will work with you. I liked her choice of textbooks as well. She will also tell you when she is presenting material not found in the textbook but required for the tests. Be sure to check E-learning.

she is a good teacher, and has interesting lectures. but beware her tests are based on the power points and the book. she supplies study guides but, sometimes they do not correlate with the test. her lectures are amazing, shes there to help if you need it, but the tests are hard and you need time to study.

Dr. Cook is very knowledgeable and has great, engaging lectures. Class is exam-heavy and the only things that are graded are the exams and weekly quizzes, which have a short time limit. Her lectures go over the more difficult/important topics in each chapter, but it is still very important to read the textbook to pass the exams and quizzes.

Prof. Cook was great! She is so sweet and funny and genuinely wants her students to learn. If you need any help, she encourages you to get help from her. The class grade is made up of your best 4/5 exams, and 19 10 question quizzes. She offered extra credit as well and encourages class attendance, but not mandatory. Overall, I loved her class.

She is a great lecturer and wants you to do well. The research paper is broken up into sections, so it is manageable. Final draft of your paper is hard to not do well on since you receive so much feedback. Her lower ratings seem to be due to her harder exams, but it's college- you need to read a textbook sometimes.

Dr.Cook gives amazing lectures. Her tests are HARD - 5 2 part multiple choice & written. Reading the Ch is a MUST to pass her test. 10 10 min quizzes.

She is awesome! Her class consists of only exams and module reviews. She does not offer extra credit. She drops the lowest test grade. Her lectures are so interesting, it is obvious that she has a passion for teaching psychology! Dr. Cook is very caring as well, she wants her students to do well in her class. The class is reading-heavy though!

She's a very knowledgeable professor and provides a lot of examples that help retain the information. As long as you pay attention and complete the module review you'll pass. I would just skim the textbook and only read the sections that were in the module reviews. If you complete the review with good information, you'll pass.

If you do the study guide and make sure to add examples to help you apply the material you will do fine. Reading is important but in my honest opinion you don't really have to read everything, just make sure you cover whatever is on the study guide
