Awful notes, they don't make sense at all; she's boring but they're good classes
Extremely disorganized, and very unhelpful.
bad notes, course not as good as i thought it would be
Her notes make no sense but if you take your own things should be ok.
If you fail her class it's your fault because she is an exceptional prof.

Interesting stuff, Dr. E. H. is great. The class is fun and useful.
I dont know what everyones talking about, her notes were good!

One of the best classes i have taken. HOTTTTT
Nice personality. Talks about interesting topics.
good prof, and interesting material
Loved her teaching style and she made the material much more interesting with her personal stories. Be sure you know shorthand:) Keep up the excellent work Hannah!!
Funny, easy, very clear what you need to know didn't show much interest in students
Great lecturer for a fun topic. Shows concern for students. Tests are straight-forward. Not a slave to the textbook....Willing to discuss anything.
No Comments
This course could be so interesting, but she makes it extremely boring. Everything is so monotone and dragged out, not made fun at all. Tests aren't too bad, but there is never anything on them that she emphasizes in classes.
She is the best. She makes sure that you know what exactly you need for the exam. Loved this course. Keep up the good work Hannah
Good class... she's an ok teacher, but gets mad too easily if people are late! There could be circumstances! But after she was over that everything was fine. lol.
No Comments
Booooooring! Crabby! Why she's so opposed to putting notes on the net is beyond me. And for someone who's hard on interruptions she stalls the class longer than anyone I've ever met.
Very very fun class. She does makes sure that you know what exactly you need for the exam. She cares and her personal stories make most of the students laugh. Keep up the good work. Awsome class. I loved it.
Great prof!!!The right person for such a course.She has no shame in discussing anything.I would recommend her to anyone interested in psyc.
she isn't a good prof, she's not approachable and her notes are not clear either. on the up side her exams are fair in that if you read the book and read over her notes then you should do ok in the course
Kinda boring, but what do you expect for Adult development and aging? lol overall not a hard course, but there is work involved. Prof could be slightly more interesting, but again, it's hard to do it with this course.
Wouldn't recommend this prof.
great course, very interesting at times,she is funny and her tests are not too hard
very good course. she has no shame and will tell you anything.
Very entertaining, an enjoyable person, and fair. So she doesnt like people who are late! Just dont be late!
Perfect prof for this course, she has no shame. Gives good notes but the book also needs to be read. Exams aren't easy but they are not horrible either. DO NOT have your cell phone on in class!
she made sex boring. half assed studying will get you an A or at least a good B
No Comments
She ruins the word SEX..what a God aweful Prof...she doesn't seem to care how you do and is not one bit approachable and I founfd her to be rude..her notes are terrible and from an "A" student I found her tests were fairly difficult
I liked her class....she was fun, but sometimes a little dull. Anyway is was alright.
What's up with this prof? I never seen anyone who hated cell phones so much. She is very rude and condescending at times. I think she has an on-off switch 'cause she is able to turn nasty on the class in an instant. Not all that interesting either.
Nice lady but she doesn't know how to properly use the mic in the lecture theatre. It is so obnoxious sounding when her mic gets horrible feed back. On top of that her accent is a little rough
Good prof, just don't be late, don't talk in class, and turn off your cell phone off, but that's all common sense, and common courtesy. Study and read the text and you'll be fine.
She's nice enough, but don't be rude or forget your manners in class, cause she'll turn on you in a second!
This is my 3rd course with her, she knows her stuff. She keeps the class on track, and I agree with her you should not have cell phones on in class - I mean come on are you really that busy you can't turn off the phone for an hour?? and the chit chat in the class in annoying to the other students!
She is a very condescending woman. Very nasty and although I agree with the cell phone bit, when it comes to whispering in class, especially about course material, I think she needs to remember...we're paying her to teach! So shut up and do it!
An awesome prof for a very interesting course. She reminds me of the "Sunday Night Sex Show" Lady. And come on, you're in university, not high school, stop chatting in class. Have respect for the prof and other students who are actually trying to LEARN.
urgh, that's the only way to explain her. really nasty, and her way of telling you to shut up makes you want to talk even more and louder. she gives WAY to many notes, which are more or less irrevelant to the course and she's hard to understand " excuse me, are there any questions up there?"
Excellent prof. Her classes are interesting and her notes are good.
it's like this, she is a great prof. her notes are helpful and her tests are average. the only people who don't like her are either people her don't study or those annoying people who talk during lectures and take their phones to class. she is really sweet and fair.
I don't care what you say, this prof is great. I loved the course and she made it interesting. The only reason some of you don't like her is because she tells you like it is. Just shut up and listen for once. Other people have paid to do this course just like you.
a very sexy and intelligent woman
I think this prof is ok. I think she does overreact when it comes to people talking. I mean is it really a crime to ask the person sitting next to you a question? And who really notices anyway? Overall her tests were fair. A little on the boring side but she do have some good funny stories.

I think this teacher was far, very clear in both her notes and her lectures. The people who find it hard, shouldnt go into a 3rd year psych course expecting it to be easy
Great prof for this course, she has no problems telling everything like it is. Bit hard on anyone who talks, but great nonetheless.
This course was absolutly awesome. I would recommend taking it with Elena Hannah any day, she was wonderful with the course, and was very approachable. It was a very interesting course indeed, and the class discussions were relaxed and comfortable. This one of the best courses I have ever taken!
she's not bad, doesn't make it as interestin as it could be, class is a little boring, her notes are clear. at the beginning she has a good pace, but by the end she is in a mad tear to get it all done and will do a chapter a day... just don't talk in her class
Slow pace at beginning of semester, but at the end - she does a chapter a day to get everything done. Notes are mostly jot notes and sometimes hard to follow. She needs to CALM DOWN about people talking in class. Overall, a very funny lady and a very good prof.
Her notes and lectures were clear. I was really annoyed how she tripped everyone up by making the second exam much harder than the first. If you take a class with her make sure you turn off your cell phone and keep your mouth shut...oh yeah, don't stand by the door when she's teaching.
Very articulate. Very helpful with questions during class. Knows her stuff. I loved her analogies and anecdotes for areas of discussion. Her lectures were entertaining and maintained my attention. Give her a shot.
she is great.. very interesting.... doesn't mind talking about the subject of this course... very open and willing to discuss anything... shows concern for her students (which is hard to come by in this level of education).. She is an excellent professor!!! do your work and you'll do fine!!!
she has to get a clue... does she not understand that people have classes on the other side of campus? her complaining and yelling at people for coming late is more of a distraction than the people actually coming! don't take any of her courses.. do them by distance!
Boring but Easy! Dont Talk and be on Time!
Very knowledgeable and has answers for just about every question. Decent notes but some questions on the exams are extremely tricky and require you to know just about every detail from the book or notes. Wastes a lot of time herself interupting class for 1 or 2 ppl talking. very annoying for all
VERY RUDE WOMAN! Be very specific when asking quesitons or approaching her, she doesn't understand things well for some reason. She is rude when she wants to be, and don't talk in class and turn off your cell phones, she hates them! Also, tests are too specific and kind of hard. I don't like her!!
This woman is very biased against men. Throughout the term there were anti-male feminist overtones ever present, especially when we covered sexual assault. She gave plenty of statistics about men, but never gave any about women. If you want a non-objective course on man hating, this is for you.
Cons: rude at times, sassy, overemphasizes if you whisper to the person next to you (i dont know why??) Will embarrass you if you whisper, leave early, or have to repeat something. Makes the class quite boring. Pros: easy marker, is very insightful with inquiries, take her for the course, not hard.

the course is boring as hell, and she's an evil, evil woman.. don't do it.. or do it by distance
Well, her classes were good and interesting, but I think that she could have been a little earier on people. Some show up late for many reasons, but that is no reason to pin point them. And that class were the notes went "missing". I think that she really could have handled that situation better!!
She's a very good teacher and the course was easy, however she is a mean, mean lady!

Good prof I suppose. The whole thing with the 'missing notes' made her seem like an unstable drama queen. She knows her stuff but the way she does the notes on the over head is annoying and not very helpful. Her notes are garbage and she doesn't pay enough attention to the book. I still got A's in both classes but it took a lot of work on my part!
the course is easy, however, she's the definition of a $%#&*!! if you're looking for a VERY stressful course and looking to catch up on your swearing against a person, then this is for you!
If you can avoid taking a course by this teacher I would highly recommend it. She knows her stuff but has HORRIBLE notes and doesnt seem to enjoy helping her students with questions. She treats questions from her students as a bother and has a way to make you feel like you are inconvenincing her.
It's a big class so it's easy to blend in, which is good b/c you DON'T want her to notice you. if you have to come late to class, then don't come at all. Just sit there, shut up and you'll get through it good. The course itself is easy and interesting.
I don't understand why everybody here is giving her such a bad wrap. I almost didn't take this course because her ratings are so bad. What a mistake that would have been! The material is very interesting! She is a fabulous instructor and makes the material easy to understand. I just took the 1st midterm, and it was excellent with no surprises.
Great Prof! She treats people with the same amount of respect as they show her. That should explain some of the other comments on this board!
I had this prof for 2 courses. She is an interesting prof. Her tests are very hard, you never know what to expect, she picks her questions from little detailed things. When approaching her, she will make you feel like an idiot, believe me I went to see her many times, and she is VERY ignorant to you at times.....
Her lectures interesting and very informative. However, I agree it is best to blend in with the crowd and not attract attention. Be sure to attend class or get notes from someone who does, because test questions are often based on her extra teachings that are not in the text. She is a good lecturer but often makes people uncomfortable one-on-one.
Stops at least once per class to scold/belittle someone for talking. "I can see you." "Would you like to share with the class?" "Is there a problem?" I find her constant interruptions far more disruptive than any student chatting. The most boring, unoriginal notes (point form on overhead) I've ever seen. I wish I had done this by distance.
This prof is great. The only people who really have a problem with her are the chatty ones. She's clear with her expectations, and if you're willing to meet them, you'll ace her classes. If you keep quiet during lectures and study the notes, you're fine.
Overallm, i enjoyed the course. However, she uses terms on her overheaed that she assumes people don't know (when they probably do) then she doens't tell the class what they mean, she waits for someone to ask, she actually stops talking and say "does anyone have a quesiton" . If she thinks no one knows what they mean why doesn't she just explain it
Easily the worst notes I've ever seen. For anyone who has just registered with her and is looking for the take on her; look no farther than her notes. Many arbitrary terms are listed vertically (e.g. Sexual dysfunction, possible therapies, controversy, understood, pumpkin pie). You have no prayer of getting anything from them.
Don't listen to these people. Elena is an absolutely brilliant woman who knows how to teach. Her notes are fine. If you go to class, and study them, you'll do fine. Very fair exams, great instruction. Answers students' questions well. The finger-pointing she does in class is just to get the talkers to shut the **** up. I'm grateful she does it.
i think the class was pretty good..i found the 2 tests were fair..but i got killed on the final..i wasnt expecting it to be as hard as it was compared to the tests..
I loved this prof,she loved when the class got involved and asked questions, her lectures were interesting and she's going to treat you well if you do likewise to her. Ask questions, and keep quiet and you'll do great. her tests can be tricky, very specific sometimes but don't hesitate to take a course offered by her!
Elena is one of the best profs i had at mun by far, she made the course more interesting and her life experiences added to it! and no matter what anyone else says, her notes are fine and her lectures are better!
Good teach, learned alot, very interesting
By far, the best prof that I've ever had. Great woman!
I really enjoyed this course! At times, she would emphasize *her* point of view though (mostly in the bith and menopause topics) and I felt she sometimes did not take other students' points into consideration. She can be a bit intimidating but I thought she was pretty nice. I enjoyed the class though and I would recommend her as a prof.
While I really enjoyed the course, I found that Dr. Hannah's opinion was really emphasized and that students couldn't have a different opinion. In order to do well you really had to stay in tow with her opinion. Not a very open minded prof at all regarding the menopause or bithing issue! I'm not sure i'd take another course with her!
found she made thing seem easy and thought she had genuine concern for the achievement of her students. Would do another course with her.
Love her. I thought she really knew her stuff and presented it in a way that was intresting and easy to understand. Also, not only did she know her material, Dr Hannah expressed a real concern for her students education wise and other. Truly an awsome women.. cant wait to take another class with her!!! : )
great prof, great notes. got a kick outta her, but whatever u do dont piss her off her talk in class or move lol she will put you down. TURN OFF CELL PHONE. had fun
She is definately good at reading notes from the overhead* ...... & yeah. don't talk in class or your on her bad side FOREVER. also. does not seem to care about student progress and really wants you to understand her point of view and agree on EVERYTHING or its over. your out of her good books. the end. I would never take another course w/her.
Overall, I enjoyed the class. The professor had clear overheads which held most of the information needed for the tests. The class is graded on two tests and an exam. A significant amount of reading, in the text book, but reasonable. I recommend this class.
GOOD at reading notes. Often goes off topic on stories about her children, family and life in Argentina which are interesting to say the least, but have nothing to do with the material. Tests are largly based on notes & final has a lot from text, but mostly common sense questions that do not require smarts. I did NOT enjoy this PROF or course.
She Does not seem to want to teach .... out of three hours a week we were with her she had "discussion" group one day and "presentation day" on another. A Teacher is supposed to TEACH! She expected us to write on everything that was in the book, despite that her questions were specific and directed towards one topic. I wouldnt reccomend her.
She's sweet, and always cheerful. I dont know why people say she's mean, she never once got mad. The class is really interesting, and she's really funny! You need to read the text and notes, but it's easy because it's all so interesting!
nice person but extremely boring and makes REALLY hard tests. boring prof for a boring course
Great psychology prof! She's very funny, and the class is very interesting. She's clear. Print off the notes beforehand because she goes through her powerpoints VERY quickly. Exams were quite difficult. I reccommend her, though!
good prof, clear speaking and good notes. come to class as alot of random stuff can be onthe test. the tests/ exams are fairly hard so make sure you study.
she made sexual behavior boring..ugg i hated going to class cause i was always so bored
Attendance is mandatory in this class very little comes from the text the notes are everything. If you want a proff who respects students and speaks to them as peers and equals, look ELSEWHERE.
Very good professor, lots of examples, went through concepts in detail. Emphasizes major course points. Dislikes interruptions to class in the form of ringing cell phones, distracting computer screens, and people disrupting the class while leaving the room.
Highly recommend this prof. She does go through slides fairly quickly, a good idea to print them before class, and she makes it clear that they are a supplement to the book..not meant to follow the book exactly.Very interested in student opinion, esp during class. Exams are difficult, but fair and reasonable for a 3000 level course. Great class.
She isnt the friendliest teacher ever! VERY intimidating, and she's an old woman. The tests were fairly easy, very good notes (although sometimes very confusing). Interesting course overall, but she could have made it a lot more fun! She is very cranky & god forbid you have to leave during class or your phone goes off.
EXCELLENT prof! She knows her stuff and loves to share it with whomever is willing to listen. In order to get a 90 in the course you must read the book and attend class. She mentions things in class that are not in the text but do pop up on exams. Highly recommended course!
I found this Prof to be alright but nothing special and I found she was very bright but I didn't really enjoy the class material
This woman is like, 60 or older maybe and has no shame. She is so funny it is impossible, read an email a student sent her about squirting (didn't identify the student of course) but the entire class was crying with laughter I'm sure. She tells you what classes you can just read the book and not come to. Brought sex toys to class. Enough said.
Kept me entertained, very high energy, kept everything interesting. She took a lot of feedback from the class, the exams were very specific to what she taught and told us to read. Excellent prof, can't wait to take another class with her!
Great prof. Sounds like the bat on Anastasia. Go to class because some slides are in her lectures that do not need to be studied for the midterms. She appreciates student feedback about her course and is very helpful. Read the text though, this course covers a huge amount of material.
She is a great prof! One of my favouites professors, I will definitely take another class of hers. Her slides usually include summarized information from the class. She is always specific to what information the exams will include and is great at answering questions, she loves feedback.
This prof is pretty awesome. I will definitely take another class with her. She is very nice and tries to make the lecture interesting. Would definitely recommend her! Exams are pretty easy.
Ms. Hannah was a great prof! I would recommend her to everyone! Maade the lecture very interesting and gave great class notes.
I liked her, but I didn't love her class. I found her classes a little boring. The content was fairly interesting I just found it hard to pay attention in class. Overall, really wasn't a bad course.
Not a fan of her teaching style. Class notes are vague and too casual. Lots of unsupported statements, her notes don't correspond well with text material. Testing does not reflect what is covered in class. Read the text carefully and pay attention to her nonsense notes - she tests on them directly. She is an interesting person!! Too Bad.
