One week I didn't have money to take the bus to school and told her I had to miss class. She gave me money for the bus and told me I didn't have to pay her back. I would have had to miss all my classes if she hadn't done that. She's reviewing for the book review so I don't think it will be that bad.

You just have to listen while she is talking, get involved in class discussions and you will pass the test. She gives reviews so what else do you need?

Dont recommend taking her. She was a sweet lady, but her style of grading was very bad. She made us read a book for an essay test, but we didn't even need to read the book for the test. Alot of the material on the exams were a bit opinion based. Not good on giving instructions either. Stay clear of this one.

I would definitely recommend this class to anyone. She talks alot only b/c she has a passion for psychology. her lessons are straight from the book so if you miss class all you need to do is read the chapter. her notes & reviews are pretty helpful but most exam questions come from the book.

I took this class because a friend recommended this instructor. I really enjoyed her lectures and learned a lot. She gives out a study guide for the textbook tests which is super helpful. We read another book and had an essay test on that book and she gives out the actual questions before that test.

Great class, great professor. I would take her again. She gave us 3 mc tests, 1 essay test, and 1 mc final. Just follow her syllabus, do the readings, study what she tells you and you will pass. She's straight to the point and all all the guidelines are clear but you do need the books to pass.

After reading the reviews on here its pretty obvious that she writes her own reviews. I chose her class last minute since it was the only one available and I really regret it. Paying attention to her lectures are completely pointless since the exams are based from the textbook. I couldnt wait to get this class over with. I recommend not taking her

You have to work in her class, but it isn't any harder than a regular college class. Going over the chapters before class really helps. This class covers a lot and lots of reading. Tests aren't impossible, but they aren't a breeze either. Very interesting lectures. Gives bonus points on random days to students who show up on time Take her!

Professor Mello likes to tell stories while going over the powerpoints which really helps in understanding the topics. She drops your lowest test grade, there are lots of extra credit opportunities-she gives extra credit for each test. Pay attention when she's teaching she gives hints on test questions. 4 tests, an essay test, comprehensive final.

I took her 5 years ago when I was going back to school to become a nurse. I graduated from Texas Womens nursing school, but I still remember this professor. She is the best professor Ive had. She really prepared me for how hard nursing school would be and even taught us APA format because we would use it in nursing school. Would take her again.

I ended up buying the textbook and never used it for the summer semester. I only used launchpad to study. I did not read the book, I read the summaries, did the learning curve sections for each chapter, and matched the vocab a couple times and made As on every test. She offers extra credit at the end and there is one short essay.

Very passionate about the subject, if you really want to learn this stuff she is a solid choice. I only took it because it is required for my degree, so if you are like me, stick to online. Received a "B" off of power-point learning, hardly showed up to class and rarely did I open the textbook (maybe once-ish). 4 exams, the final, and a term paper.

I took this professor for a required class. At first she was great, started the semester with a positive attitude. After the first exam a few weeks in everything flipped. Though she provides a study guide and encourages questions, she easily gets irritated when a lot of questions are asked. Overall, if you ask questions expect sarcasm or attitude.
