She is a really cool teacher. The class is pretty easy and so are her tests if you study. She goes over the review guide and tells you what questions to study before each test(which are only 3). The final is optional if you have taken all tests so make sure you show up on those days. Shes very helpful and funny. and she is pretty hot if i may add.

Definately a great professor! I would reccomend her to anyone! Tests aren't too bad as long as you review the study guide and take a couple of the practice quizes from the books website online. She gives you the essay questions before you even take the test so you have time to prepare for them. Take her class, you won't regret it.

Professor Collins was absolutely amazing. Very lenient on getting things in on time. Lots of reading. There's a bit of online work to do, but as long as you have the book it's easy enough to do. She loves what she does, and it shows. She is a bit disorganized, but it's worth it honestly. Really easy to pass this class if you do online work.

All of the assignments were clear in the syllabus. There was plenty of time to complete the assignments. The issue I had was that she was not available. She took months to grade forums and I never did get my research graded though it was turned in 6 wks prior to the end of the semester. When asked about grades she always had an excuse.

Great teacher, and I will be taking her again for Developmental Psychology too. She is thorough, but the extra credit that she gives (which is a lot) can easily bring you up an entire letter grade. This class is good for those who are self starters, and don't mind reading the book. Only complaint is that she doesn't post grades quickly enough.

Teacher is very nice! She sometimes takes a little while to grade and respond to your emails. But, as long as you do the work you will get an A. I took her online in the fall and she only assigned one paper. The rest are all quizzes and tests. The required discussion posts are 1 question about an article/video, 1 about the text, and 1 optional :)

Although the class itself was easy, it was extremely hard to sit through class. She often showed up late, is highly disorganized and really like to ramble. Also be prepared for breathing exercises at the beginning of each class and required volunteering. Not the worst professor, but if you value your time, don't take this professor.

Professor Collins was great. Her online class was pretty straight forward. Just as any other online class, procrastination is not your friend, so ensure to complete all assignments. If you complete all 5 test with a grade you are happy with throughout the semester, the final is optional which was amazing!

Be mindful on what class of her's you sign up for. Her class is normally associated with Service learning. It sounds scary but It actually was an amazing experience for me and I learned a lot.

Doctor Collins is an amazing teacher. Yes there's a lot of reading, you'll have about 3 weeks to read over 3 chapters then take about a 60 question test on it. She also goes over a PowerPoint on them each. She also requires you to volunteer (AS A MANDO GRADE) at a elementary school called Pinecrest (you can ask to go to a different one) and don't be fooled, the kids are AMAZING I loved them I'm going continue to go to the school and volunteer.

She likes to start off with relaxation everyday, which is nice, I guess. You will have to make time to go to a school and help out with a child or a teacher though. That was unexpected, so if you work or have a lot to do, you might want to take a different class, or find a way around it, because it's required to pass.

Dr. Collins is a great professor she really knows what she is talking about. 4 tests (2 take home 2 in class). Make sure you study they are not easy. However, her class is enjoyable and the service learning that is mandatory is very humbling. At first I thought service learning(8 wk) why would I want to do that, but I really liked going each week.
