The only complaint is that she didn't return quiz grades until a while later. But there are only 6 quizzes total, no exams. She drops your lower grade, & let's you make up your second lowest grade on the last day of class. If you get an A average on the first 5, you don't have to take the final. Offers extra credit, very helpful & caring.

Entire class is a powerpoint lecture along with classwork that almost always counts as extra credit. Although the lecture can be long, she never gives homework. There are weekly quizzes that always have at least 5 extra credit points (and up to 30 points). No final, no essays, and no projects. She also requires 2 research participation points.

I absolutely loved her class! I've never been a good test taker or good with anything in realm of science but she made everything interesting and easy to grasp. She hates when people have their laptop out in class, but loves when you participate and raise your hand. She gives so much extra credit and her study guides make it easy to pass the test!

Lots of extra credit for each quiz. So if you're not a good test taker like me use that to your advantage. She does take attendance randomly at times. I didn't like her attitude 2-3 times when she was speaking to the class. Overall she wasn't bad but nothing crazy. The material she taught was easy. Print out the slides so you can write on them!

Attend class otherwise you'll miss important group activities and will get a 0 for it and can't make it up. She has a bit of an attitude and seems happy one day and annoyed the next, but she'll answer any questions you have. Show up to class, meet deadlines- but don't wait until last minute, and STUDY!!!!

Her quizzes are kind of hard, but if you put in time to study you will pass. She offers A LOT of extra credit. She is the reason I'm into psychology now and taking more psych classes.

She does have you do a lot in pairs or groups which is refreshing. As long as you skim or read over the chapter's you'll pass the quizzes. And it's open book.

Horrible experience. She did not care about her students and has a ineffective teaching habit. She spends her time that she has for classes going over the simplest and most random things which makes it very hard to learn anything without having to sit and read through her 20 slides in two days.
