An easy A if you read her notes and listen to her lectures. Her projects are not hard just make sure your group are not slacking off like mine. She's a cool teacher. If you have a question or need help then just ask. She also gives students lots of chances; if your paper are late just slip them under her office door the next day or that night.

I really enjoy Prof. Maloney as a teacher. Her teaching style makes you want to pay attention and learn. Homework is easy, and she goes over everything that is going to be on the tests. If you're unfamiliar with drugs then you will need to study more, but this class is easily passable. Check your email daily, because class gets cancelled often.

Maloney juggles a lot on her plate inside and outside of class. She currently teaches five classes and serves as the SJDC Teacher's Association President which likely fills her schedule up even more. This probably why she's absent so often. She also doesn't teach so much as read from PowerPoints in class. Disorganized, but Psych 1 is easy anyways.

Lectures were just powerpoints given by book publisher. Current text used contradicts itself & the tests contradicted the text. I had to message prof. several times to fix scores. Frustrating when wanting to learn! Weekly Discussions w/classmates helped most, 1 paper required. Professor only facilitated but didn't teach any course content.

Professor Maloney is easily my favorite professor. The class has a couple negatives like lectures are just her reading off of slides, but she makes things easy to understand. Class is also cancelled often. Positives are handout homework can often be completed in under 10 minutes, and she lets you know EXACTLY what will be on exams. You can tell she has a real passion for what she teaches and I would definitely take her again.
