Great Teacher! Easy! Tests&Class Curved, MultipleChoice Tests No Essays AT ALL!

This class is fairly easy, the lectures are the tests. Almost all exam questions based on hypothetical studies/analysis discussed in class. For scholars you only have to write a research paper on a topic of your choice - way way easy!

Dr Chin is the best. Her lectures are clear and interesting and she's very fair.

Very Interesting Class. Multiple Choice Tests.

Good teacher. Teaches for the most part out of the book, and then incorporates a little lecture and experiemetns into the test. Not too hard, but challenging. Provides some small extra credit opportunities.

Her class is very stimulating and fun. She is very knowledgeable, straightforward, with sincere concern with students' questions and concerns. The tests are not hard, rather, challenging, and keeping up with the reading will help a lot. TAKE HER!!!!

Very nice teacher. Her class is interesting and tests are ridiculously easy.

very knowledgeable, lectures are never boring

She's very nice. She's very helpful. She has a sincere concern for her students. Talks about interesting subjects, but she can be a bit of a bore. Don't take a late class, you might fall asleep. But tests are fairly simple. Anyone could pass this class.

she really cares about students. Gives out great examples in psychology. It's just great being in her class. Very interesting.

i recommend this class for any reason. very cool chill teacher. pretty nice. sometimes lectures put me to sleep, but even then i still got a B on the midterm. relatively easy, just kinda pay attention in class and kinda study the study guide she gives.

Dr. Chin is the best teacher. she is very smart and explains everything very well. There is no work in this class except tests. lectures are not boring either.

She is one of the best teachers at SMC. She genuinly cares about her students. As long as you read the material and pay attention you will have no problem. She is also really chill and funny, i definetly reccomend her.

She is so nice and her lectures are so interesting. Her tests come right off the study guide and she is always there to help you. She is a professor at UCLA and she is extrememly knowledgeable. Take her for sure!!!!

very good teacher, recommended to all. seems kinda hard at first but when you get to know her, shes chill. tests are fairly easy, just do the study guides she gives and you'll get an A or B on every test, including the final.

Psych 1 is a very hard subject if you take it with the wrong teacher. Dr Chin explained everything in depth and gave examples for everything. She was the most organized and helpful teacher. She is sweet, nice and is an extremely fair grader. She curves

She is a nice teacher w/a easy class to boot. I couldnt afford book so winged it , just listened to lectures and studied my notes, got a B in the class. She does both a curve and a % scale so you can get the higher grade.If you read the book guarenteed A.

No Comments

Kindness most prfessional professor you'll ever have. She is intellegent and helps you as much as possible. Outgoing, carismatic, and very good teaching skills.

I love her! She's very sweet and makes psychology VERY understandable, easy to follow examples for everything. Tests are multiple choice and curved. She doesn't care about your attendence. She makes the subjects interesting and easy to understand with her examples.

Good teacher. Study the questions she hands out before an exam and you will get an "A"

good teacher. Tests are easy if you go through the study questions she gives ahead of time.

Dr. chin is very statistical. she loves to talk about psychological stats. essays are easy if you read her articles. tests on the other hand are straight from the book (which is extremely boring) some quest. come from her lectures but READ THE BOOK!!!!! GRADE IS CURVED!!!!

She's a great teacher, and her lectures are interesting and enlightening. She actually made me want to study more about psychology. Read the book for the quizzes+study questions. She is a diferent person when she is not teaching, and not as amiable/smiling...(she puts on a "nice face" for teaching)

Basically shes a no bull kind of teacher. If your willing to work hard on your own, this is a good class. She is funny, but if you like taking a test in class and getting to leave, she is NOT for you. She is on an egenda and NOTHING changes that!

D.Chin, Very nice teacher. A must take.

Professor Chin is excellent! She is very helpful, and her class is very clear. An easy A!

Very informative and helpful. Great to deal with professor, not mean at all.

Although Dr. Chin won't necessarily inspire a newfound appreciation for the subject matter, she does a great job of augmenting any pre-existing interest in psychology.

This is the second class I've had with Dr. Chin, and I cannot praise her enough! She is intelligent, knowledgeable, sincere, and cares about her students. I enjoyed the forum-style of Psyche 35, where we all had our desks arranged in a circle, and each had the opportunity to regularly share our thoughts and ideas regarding the subject matter.

Style fun, easygoing, helpful, equal-grounds, iwilllearnasmuchasyouinthisclass-sort of approach She's got a lot of experience and she is young and enthusiastic Based on participation u will do lots of talking (grade based on participation) u'll do some reading (U R required to read your exposition material)I did well Just relax n have fun

Ms. Chin is a very nice teacher, she grades on a curve which can also be helpfull and she is easy to understand

Dr. Chin is amazing. Shei son eof the most lucid, concise, organized professors I have evr taken a class from. Additionally, she is very supportive about learning and career growth. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's great!

Dr.Chin is an incredible teacher. Her lectures are very straightforward and so is her tests. She doesnt give quizzes or homework. For her big exams, if you study your notes you are in good shape. she is always willing to help her students if you they have any quiestions! strongly recommed taking her classes!

awesome teacher! super nice and her teachings are concise! if you study your notes for her exams, you are in great shape. she is willng to help you out whenever you ask her! you do take quite amount of notes and a bit of studying.. so if you are looking for an easy A, i dont recommend it.

She's very clear, she doesn't take attendance. Look at it this way: The more you show up, and take good notes...the less you'll need to read out of the textbook in order to do well on her tests. She gives 3 tests and a final. Final has 75 questions.3 tests have 30-37 questions.All multiple choice, but not that easy.The second test was the hardest.

I do not have much interest in the field of psychology and have taken multiple courses in it, but Dr. Chin made it interesting. Her class can be monotonous at times but she is a fair grader. She had tests that force you to choose the "best" answer as opposed to merely right. Expected a lower grade but was surprised, thanks Dr. Chin.

She's nice, intelligent, and chill. two tests, two essays, final. has the whole semester planned out on syllabus. just read the textbook show up for class. tests are easy and curved. No homework :)

Nice professor. Ask questions and take good notes since that's where she gets most of her test questions from. Very helpful and informative. Good person to get a letter of recommendation from if you're a Psych major.

I think Dr. Chin wants to help educate her students, not to impress them. She is also kind and helpful and down to earth, even though she has been so successful in her professional life. If anyone deserves to be arrogant but isn't, its Dr. Chin.

I enjoyed going to her lectures, take good notes even on things you think you don't need to take notes on because most her exam question come from there, a few from the book. She does activities which helps learn what she teaches in class, she answers all the questions you ask and participation is extra credit.

Honestly i think its apparent from the grammar and spelling of people that complain, they dont know what theyre talking about. Sure, she doesnt devote her life to this class at a CC, she does her best and knows the material well. She doesnt give study guides, make them yourself! Take notes and study overlap and your golden. 3 MC tests. good class

Loved her. Personable & keeps class interesting

She gives lectures using powerpoint, she is verry helpfull whenever you have any question. All you have to do is take notes in class, and you will do good. The questions that she gives on her test are tricky, because you have to pay attention to the wording of each question

It's not such a bad class, but you do need to be motivated enough to do the work on your own. If you need constant guidance, then online probably isn't for you anyway. Read the textbook (which is fantastic), do the discussion and you won't have a problem on the tests. Interesting material, and relatively easy A.

Easy A and very interesting class! You teach yourself from the textbook, and all tests are multiple choice. I refute anyone who says she is confusing or unclear- everything is straightforward if you just follow the syllabus. Its not even that heavy for a half-semester course, totally go for it!

Easiness5 Helpfulness4 Clarity4 Rater Interest3 I took Psych 19 online and it was fun. You just gotta make sure when everything is due. Study and read before any assignment, everything is pretty straight forward. You have to read and study well, though. Prof Chin is very organized. Follow the syllabus and her instructions!!!

I also took Psych 19 online. It was great! Prof Chin is very organized. You just got to make sure when everything is due. I needed to study twice a week for 6 hours. You have to study on your own because there is no physical class. Everything is straight forward. Follow the syllabus and her instructions!!!

Professor Chin presents very good lectures, therefore you should take good notes, and be very disciplined and learn, because she won't provide you with handouts or do any reviews before tests. THE TESTS ARE HARD, and sometimes the questions tricky. You won't get an A easily!

I dont understand why people are saying this class is hard or that the tests are difficult. Its college. All you need to do is go to class, take notes and read the book. And I promise you'll do fine. I got an A on every test, and it wasnt due to extreme studying. It was due to taking notes in class, and actually reading. Take Chin!

By far the easiest online class I've ever taken. Just read, highlight or take notes of the bold words in the chapters. Tests are simple and straight-forward. Tests are given in between Monday-Wednesday...which was perfect in my opinion. Not sure how she is in person but the online course was a piece of cake! Easy A.

This was my second time taking this class (failed it the first time with a different professor) and this time I'm passing with either an A or B. I even missed a few lectures and was able to fill in that info from the textbook. Only grades that count are tests but she does give extra credit for participation.

Awesome professor. You have to be really stupid to get anything less than an A in her class.

Great Professor!

really good teacher. very clear in her lectures but dont expect an A if you dont study or come to class

3 tests, 1 final, and 3 papers (lowest gets dropped). Extremely easy and straightforward. Try not to miss class since most of the tests are note based (multiple choice). Take detailed notes and skim chapters since she throws in material from there sometimes. Lectures are interesting and she's very nice & helpful. You'll pass if you're not lazy.

Dr. Chin was definitely my favorite professor I took this fall! She is very knowledgable and her lectures are very clear and straight forward. She hands out study questions before tests and all the test questions are from lectures and she says what chapters to study in the book in the syllabus. There are 4 tests a final 3 papers and she gives EC.

Dr. Chin is by far one of the best teachers I've had this semester. If you take advantage of the study guides she hands out-plus the curve on every test-you can definitely pass the class with an A. Make sure to get the textbook for the class and take the notes down word for word. Lectures can be long but they're interesting.

3 tests and a final, 3 ted talk reflection papers (2 pages each). Some extra credit. Lectures are great and all you need for the tests but if you cant attend class if you study the book you'll probably get a B. Attendance is not mandatory but encouraged. If you have a problem, talk to her, she is really easy going.

Very organized online class. Read the textbook, study the vocabularies, and join the discussions every week to understand better. There was self introductions, 5 exams, and about 5 discussions for the TED talk, short story, psychology game, or a youtube video. Her responses are nice, I wish I could meet her in person & thank her! Don't stress out!!

I love this class so much! I really had no idea that Psychology would be my favorite subject until I took her class. There is no homework, 4 exams and a final. If you come to class every day and take notes, you will get an A. Highly recommend her as a teacher.

very organized and understandable teaching methods. no homework, just 4 exams and 3 papers. wants you to succeed!

Stereotypical college class-lectures and taking notes. She doesn't care about attendance or participation, and she curves her tests. What you take is what you give. 3 short assignments and tests, but they're hard if you don't know your stuff. Essentially, if you do what you're expected to do, this class is very enjoyable and a piece of cake. Study!

Nice teacher, very communicative and sends us messages during weekends and tips for the class. The discussions are optional. 6 units (for the winter class online) and 5 exams with about 36 questions.

Easiest online class I've ever taken. Just a few discussions and quizzes and voila, before you know it, your semester is already over.

Professor Chin is a great teacher. I took the class online and I'm so glad I decided to take her class. Take her she is the best!!!

Her class is only based on the three essays (only 2-3 pages) you write and your exams. The exams and essays are fairly easy. She doesn't use canvas, which makes it hard to tell what your grade is. Gives Extra Credit options.

Only graded on 3 tests, a final, and 3 reflections (lowest is dropped) 2 E.C. assignments. Curves her tests. doesn't use canvas, so you have to guess what grade you have in the class. Tests are mostly based on stuff in class, participation/attendance aren't mandatory. Lectures are really interesting and engaging. If you study enough, u'll get the A

Very nice Professor. Easy because of COVID-19 online version (5 short exams) compared to original version (2 midterms, group project, final). She's a late responder (few days sometimes). Her lectures were very interesting and got everyone involved. The class would've been more difficult if we stayed on campus. I am so happy that I took her .

Really easy class - 4 tests/quizzes and that was it. Yes, there was textbook reading, but it wasn't a lot and it was quite interesting. Great professor that made this online class a breeze to take. Highly recommend!

A very easy class but there is LOTS of reading to do every week. It helps to pace yourself and write solid notes. Make sure to review your notes before the weekly exams. The whole course was very interesting and insightful!

Dorothy Chin was an amazing psychology teacher, very sweet and caring. Was very reasonable when it came to late work. There was reading in the class but nothing too overboard. Professor Chin truly educated me when it came to psychology.

i took an 8 week course thinking the workload would be a lot, but it wasn't! sometimes we wouldn't even have homework. she always left nice comments and give us really engaging assignments. various opportunities for extra credit, and the textbook was pretty nice to read. i kinda wish i took a longer section of this because i thoroughly enjoyed it.

I know a lot of people didn't like Chins class but I didn't mind it. I took psych 1 and it's just 5 exams around 35-40 questions each. If you read the book and make flashcards the tests aren't difficult at all. If you are someone who prefers lecture-heavy teaching and you mostly take in person-- take an in person class instead.
