Good Teacher, but tough grader. Her tests and essays are tough

Friendly. Knows her stuff. If you can write 2-page assignments once every few weeks and take multiple-choice tests, PSY 110 with this professor is highly recommended.

not as hard as she states, but don't take her lightly. you have to study hard for her quizzes and tests, but she posts notes online and they cover ALMOST everything. she is very nice and approachable too.

She not easy, but she's a pretty good teacher... can be kinda mean sometimes... very strict grader, but she means well

Great teacher, tough course. Study hard or you will fail.

she is hard, but will learn a lot. first day she said "don't be surprised when you get a 30% on the first quiz"! and i did, along with the 2nd, 3rd, etc. if you ask for help, she's very understanding & shows genuine concern. gives xtra credit.

You WILL have to study, you WILL have to go to class - but its worth it. You will learn a lot. VERY approachable. Will go out of her way to help you. One of the best professor's I've had at WPU. You leave her class aware that you've learned something.

tough, you will need to study alot, but shes very helpful. easy to talk to. in class activites help break up boring lectures. would def recommend.

Yes the first day she comes off as tough, although it really isn't so bad. If you are there everyday, are attentive, and get her notes from BB and take notes on top of that you will be fine. A lot of quizzes and assignments, exams are a lil tough...but you will come out ok if you put 100% effort in.

Awesome Teacher

awesome teacher. its a lot of work but as long as you show up every day and study a lot, its not that hard. she explains everything with clarity and she really cares how well you do in her class. and she is a great person to talk to if you have a problem.

Go to class, dont be lazy, actually put some effort in and youll receive a good grade, you get many extra credit chances too. She is beautiful, and intelligent, so dont get so angry by her arrogance, she has good reason to be.

She is a tuff cookie but is a GREAT role model I loved her class

She comes off as being really tough but its really not that bad once you put the effort in but don't take her warning lightly either. Great person to look to for guidance. She knows what shes talking about and it wasnt that long ago when she was a student too. She's approachable and willing to help.

She's an awesome teacher/rolemodel. Inspired me to become a psych major.

Great teacher, true she's tough, but you will get alot out of her classes. Gives easy to follow handouts for each chapter in most classes. Take notes and pay attention to things she emphasizes! Very easy to talk to and keeps class interesting. I've taken her 3 times and wasn't dissapointed once.

You will need to go to class and you will need to study but she posts the notes on Blackboard for everyone. Class discussions were really interesting and that made social psychology fun. Dr. Haines really cares about you do in her class. She is one of my favorite professors at William Paterson.

She's really nice and a lot of fun. Likes to make the class really interesting and loves discussions. Talk and you will do well. Quizzes every week are hard so study powerpoint printouts. Don't really use book. Attendance is crucial. Assignments were fun - the more you write, the better you'll do. She loves people that have a lot of opinions.

Very intellegent and well organised, and will help you if you have trouble. However, she's not an easy grader, and she sometimes bases assignments of materials that are either unavailable or hard to follow.

Total hardass, but an incredible teacher - In my top 5 of professors I've had. As long as you're willing to work, she'll do everything to help you. She spent 3 hours on a Saturday with me working on my final project. Not exactly tough on the eyes either.

No Comments

very hard class and almost impossible to pass but the fact that she is pure eye candy makes up for all that.

GREAT professor. Class is VERY difficult and it's a lot of work but she is so willing to help you and she is such a nice lady. I actually enjoyed going to class and learning the material...tests and quizzes were very difficult though

Great teacher... She keeps you interested and makes does the lectures on a more personal level. She's really helpful if you need her and she's good at remembering names. Very strict with attendance but a fair grader.

take this class if you want to work. you have to put exactly what she wants on your test and quizzes word for word. i was looking forward to taking this class but i had to drop it.

Very good professor. Quizzes are very hard, tests are a little easier. She's tough, but does what she can to help. Tries to get to know everyone in the class.

second class i took with her. classes are so interesting - both info and the way she displays it. dont take her if youre not a psych major. you need to know this stuff if you are and she's good at helping you learn it and understand it. probably the only professor ive ever taken where i still remember the info after the final

Keeps you interested. Alittle tough, but you WILL learn the info. Have quizzes after every couples of chapters and test. 2 papers of 2 pages each. She's really sweet and knows her stuff.

very fair...willing to go the extra mile to help students. lot of work...be prepared!

The most amazing professor in William Paterson. This women is absolutly great. It's a tough class but the concepts will be learned and will stick with you far after the exams.

awesome teacher...you can't slack off much, but its well worth it. She's really smart, taught me a lot, and is always there if you need help. She will really make extra effort to help you if you care enough. Best psych prof at WP.

Psych of Women- This was my favorite class! Yes you have to pay attention but if you do you will do very well. What you learn in this class will stay with you long after it's over. She is not only a great prof but an awesome person overall.

Put it this way, I was going to go into teaching but after taking her class, I'm now heading down the social psych. path. It's a challenging class, but she makes it extremely interesting, you will learn a lot. She applies a lot of the concepts to everyday events you'll understand. Very down to earth! Take her!

She really knows what she's teaching which is so refreshing. She uses good examples for easier understanding & the class is fun. Tests are tough but most of the stuff will stick in your head after the class ends. I really enjoyed this course!!

Probably one of the best professors I've had the pleasure of dealing with. The material is challenging, but interesting nonetheless, and she does a great job presenting it. You do have to do your readings for the tests. Highly recommended!

She is a great teacher! Take her if you get the chance! She is very helpful don't hesitate if you need anything.

sHE IS THE BEST

She is a great instructor. Her class is challenging, but you have to keep on top of your assignments.

If you have any discrepencies about WPU (and I know many do) TAKE HER! If there are problems here she is the school's redeeming factor. She is the absolute best! I never knew a class could fly by so fast! She enthralls you in the subject and her knowledge amazes me. BUT: She is tough. She moves fast, expects you to know ALOT, and gives really hard

Great Professor, very smart! Everyone on on here who commented is just lazy. Unlike other professors at WPU, she expects you to do the work. SHe is very good at lecture and uses examples with everything. You need to go to class to understand the info, but you should anyway. It's college people, grow up and put some effort into your work!

hard, but a great teacher. i had her for E1 and social psych. learned alot from her, i was well prepared for my E2 class, which is more than i can say for half of the class. expects you to do the work, but thats what you're here for.

slackers do not take this class. She makes her expectations clear from daay one. Excellent teacher. Do not miss class, take notes, and take on-line quizzes as practice. No trick questions on tests and quizzes but you must put time into studying to do well. I definitely recommend her class if you really want to grasp the subject.

amazing teacher very interesting its just imposible to get an a in her class.

She gave excellent notes that were in synch with the books and made sure students understood. The quizzes were tough but fair, so long as you paid attention. She's a really smart lady and knows her stuff. I actually felt like I earned my grade unlike all my other classes that semester (like History and Systems with Holle).

This class was very interesting. but if you are looking for an easy A press the "back button" now. She is very tough and you realize that the first class. She tells you what she expects from you from day 1. She is always there 2 help a student out. This class is a lot of work but worth it. Very interesting class.. learned a lot.

Very hard class, but she was very helpful, approachable, and easy to talk to. wanted students to do well and always asked for feedback of her teaching methods and wanted to know what worked well for students to learn. definitely recommend her for this class, she'll really help you every step of the way!

i'm taking her now. i was a little nervous because of all of the things i read on this site, but i'm really happy i took her anyway. she explains things perfectly. sure shes tough, but she's clear in her expectations[which are not impossible to meet] and as long as you meet them you're fine. she's a fair grader and super nice.

Despite what you hear from others....TAKE HER! She is awesome. I learned so so much. It was hard, but totally worth it. And she's there for you every step of the way. Oh and....I want to be just like her when I grow up. :)

A friend told me she was too tough to handle, but I took her anyway. I don't regret it at all! Haines wants you to learn, so her class is not a breeze. If you're willing to actually put in effort for her class, you'll do fine. It's not easy, but it's definitely worth it. And she's so funny!

She would make anyone WANT to go to class!

Her personality is great, she really makes the class fun and interesting. Her work on the other hand is extremely way too much when you're dealing with 5 or 6 other courses. 4 exams, 5-6 papers, many quizzes, etc. It's way too much and the papers are very in-depth. If you want an easy A, don't take her. good luck if you do!

Dr. Haines is super tough but absolutely doable. She does expect a lot, but not more than you can offer. A lot of dedication is required and a lot of work is assigned. For E1 there are 12 quizzes, one every single class, one 6-8pg paper due every class as well. I learned a lot and my interest for Statistics increased. She is there if you need help.

Dr. Haines seems tough at first but she really is such a great professor and she loves what she does. The work can be a lot but pay attention in class and read the text and you'll be fine. I have to say that it's because of her and this class that I want to go more into social psych in my future. She is awesome! =]

If you are looking for an easy A do not take this class. Numerous assignments, tests, and quizzes. Reading the tb will help a lot, and all documents and lecture notes are on blackboard. She has a passion for what she does and wants her students to be interested and learn. She has a great personality, but the class is extremely hard.

Dr. Haines is the best professor I ever had. You do have to work at it, but I learned more from her classes than any other Psych course! Her classes r very interesting,she loves what she does - always a plus - and she gives PowerPoints 2 parallel the text. Don't listen 2 the whiners complaining she's 2 hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it!

She's super duper helpful will go any length in order to help you do well although you do have to put in a lot of work. Be attentive sit in front of class you learn so much from professor Haines. When you actually put the work in and don't be lazy like I did you probably do better, but I will say the course is not easy. You will need to work hard.

She's really nice, really intense, really hot. As long as you have good ideas she will help you out a lot. But if you didn't learn much in E1 don't take her. You do all of the stats and SPSS by yourself, she won't help with that. Also don't bother with the textbook you literally don't use it at once, just pay attention to her slides and tangents.

She expects a lot from you but I learned so much in this class. Be ready to spend a LOT of time on this course if you want to pass. Hardest class I've taken in college but it was worth it. She is really helpful too if you ask for it, always willing to meet & responds to emails fast. She's also really funny and nice, despite what others on here say.

Haines is a hard teacher, I will not lie. I had her for both E1 and E2. She gives a lot of information in her lectures but she has to. Many times these classes are only once a week and she does want you to do well, but she doesn't want to spoonfeed you. If you take both classes with her, you'll be prepared for your E2 experiment.

I absolutely loved her as a professor. She truly enjoys the information she lectures you with and wants you to understand and like it too. Her quizzes are always slightly more difficult than her exams but that's because there is more in-depth information. If you listen and pay attention in class (take notesbriefly skim the book) you'll do great.

She is great! Although her lectures are long if you focus and pay attention you will do fine. I received 90s on all my exams in her class. Her quizzes are excellent , everyone fails the first one but you tend to know what to expect for the following ones. I am taking her for E1 & E2!

Dr. Haines is the most genuine professor at this University. She is very intelligent and passionate about what she teaches. She can be tough and she has a lot of energy so you'll have to keep up. She is clear on what to expect, show up to class and pay attention to her lectures and you will do fine. She makes it very easy to stay engaged.

Prof. Haines is one my favorite and very inspirational professors. She is a tough professor, but only because she makes you work for your grades. Study if you want to pass! She drops the lowest quiz and test grades. And the tests contain answers from the quizzes, but you will have to study since there will be new questions on it. Glad I took her!

Professor Haines is an amazing professor, who is there to help you succeed. This is one class that you cannot miss days on. Extra help is available. As long as you do your work, and take notes during the lectures, you will be fine. Glad I took E1 with her!!

Dr. Haines taught by far my favorite course I have taken at William Paterson. There was something special about her lectures and her teaching method. She made the topics interesting and taught in a way it was easy to understand. You will have to put in the work, watch the lectures and take notes, but I promise you it's worth it!

Easily THE BEST professor I have had at WPU. She cares about all of her students, and provides an immense amount of information and help. Phones are absolutely not allowed in this class, but times go by so fast because she engages with all her students. She is the best

Professor Haines truly loves the topics she talks about, and I believe this is why it was so easy to digest the materials she gives. Her lecture materials usually consisted of her own recorded lectures, and sometimes YouTube videos, podcasts, and some text. Her tests at the end of the week were only difficult if you didn't read/watch the materials.

Professor Haines truly loves the topics she teaches, and I believe this is why its so easy to digest the material she gives. Her materials to read/watch are usually YouTube videos and her own pre-recorded lectures, and she conveys the material very easily. Her tests at the end of the week are easy if you read/watch the materials!

Prof Haines was a good professor, assignments and syllabus was clear and straight forward. There will be a few discussions and quizzes you need to complete but nothing crazy.

She's very passionate about the subjects she teaches, which is rare to find in wpu professors. Makes lectures go much faster, she makes them engaging and interesting. As long as you pay attention and attend regularly, you'll be good.

Professor Haines is passionate about the subject and engages students. Lectures can be fast-paced, but staying engaged and using tools like unstuck study for study prep can help. Attendance is a must, but the workload is manageable if you put in the effort.

I loved every part of Dr. Haines's class, as my passion deeply lies in Psychology, and I am always eager to learn more from a new perspective. In communicating in open discussion with the class, I feel that I have further enhanced my knowledge from the additional perspectives of my classmates in the room.
