She is full of energy, which is one of the factors that people will get interested in her class.

Very enthusiastic and a great sense of humor. She makes the class interesting even though I don't like the subject matter.

She is so full of engery. She constantly keeps teh class entertained while teaching us the course material.

Full of energy and has tons of great examples and activities. She also adds in random interesting facts. Tests test you on information only from the lectures so as long as you pay attention in class you should do ok.

She was awesome!! She tells jokes, lots of energy, and makes the class fun with little games and things for us to do!!

She's funny, keeps you entertained, and super helpful when it comes to answering questions. I highly recommend her. She's very active so you won't be board either. Best psc teacher yet. Plus the tests are only on lecture material so you don't really have to read the book unless you want more indepth info. She's great!!!

Lectures are great, make sure you go to them because midterms are based solely on lecture. She uses jokes an little stories here an there to illustrate the main points, which keeps you awake. Go to office hours, too, because she is really helpful outside of class, and will make sure that you understand the material. Great, overall!!

I never expected the class to be this fun. I don't fall asleep in the lectures unlike all of my other classes, plus she's funny and explains everything if you just ask. Oh, but she's not very good with computers. :)

For the love of all that is good and holy DON'T BUY THE BOOK! I wasted $95 on something I didn't use once! The class was fun though and the midterms are easy as long as you go to lecture because that's all they're based on. She talks about her daughter a lot and her midterms aren't very well written. Other than that I really liked this class.

she's the greatest ever! so hilarious and patient. everyone should take a class with her!!!!

Fun Class. Tests are based on the lectures, so don't miss them. Book is worthless; it may confuse you. She's a good teacher. Great class even though I don't really care for psyc subject matter.

SHe is amazing!!!! The subject matter is so interesting already and she makes it even better because she is HILARIOUS. No homework. Just midterms that are easy if you attend lecture. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!

If you can take a class from Mitchell, do it! She's young, she's funny, and she makes her lectures current and relevant. You don't need to read the book at all as her midterms are solely based on lecture, and she doesn't post lectures online, meaning you have to go to them - but that's okay because they are FUN. Always helpful during office hours.

Best prof I have had so far! Material is clear and her tests are based solely on the lectures! She is VERY funny and interesting (and obsessed with celebrities!) I love how she always gives real world examples to the concepts she presents.

Prof Mitchell is the best! The class is super easy, and tests come directly from lecture. She and/or the head TA also hold review sessions before each exam, they are very helpful! She talks pretty fast so I would recommend typing your notes on a laptop if possible.

VERY good teacher! great at explaining the materials. very energetic as well! final review.. she gave out candy! good teacher.. very approachable... RECOMMEND this class

If you are going to take PSC 001, take it with Professor Mitchell. She is really fun and her energy gets students excited about the subject matter. She also shows movies and brings in star gossip that can be related to the material. It's a fantastic course!

Taking this class helped me decide I really want to be a PSC major. Incorporates celebrity gossip into lectures and make them fun to attend. Tests are based directly off of her lectures so go to class! Best class I've taken so far. Would definitely recommend taking PSC 001 with her!

I like her class. I attended every lecture. She is very fun and energetic. Even though the class is about two hours long it you still won't feel bored.

She's incredibly enegergetic and really keeps the attention of the class. It was the only class i looked forward to going to.

she's an awesome teacher! a lot of fun and very energetic! she is genuinely excited and passionate about her subject and very enthusiastic in lecture. No chance of ever falling asleep!!! but thats a good thing because you learn a lot!

If you don't take her class for PSC 1, YOU"RE MISSING OUT!!! TRUST ME< TAKE HER CLASS

Professor Mitchell is amazing. She makes psychology fun and interesting, and it was honestly the only lecture I've ever looked forward to attending. She's also the only professor I've truly liked and learned so much from during my two years at Davis. If you're going to take PSC 1, make sure it's with Mitchell - you won't regret it!

Great professor, taught a variety of topics well, lectures are more important than the textbook, so go to class!!

Great professor. Her examples make you remember things really well.

Great and FUNNY Professor, easy class and fair tests. I actually came to this 6-8pm class b/c she's entertaining and her lectures have just about ALL the material on exams ;)

Amazing teacher. Tests are straight forward, just read the questions carefully. Lectures are amazing! Dr Em is phenomenal! Best teacher at Davis by far. Makes psychology 1 an amazing class.

Great sense of humor. Very lively lectures. It's hard to hold together a class of 500 but she does a great job. Makes the subject matter fun and interesting. My only complaint is that her exams sometimes have trick questions that are easy to get wrong even if you study.

very good examples and explanations. very interesting. great teacher.She is always full of life during lectures.

excellent! take her! she's fun and reminded me of my psc 1 teacher, Professor Reed, whom i loved!

Her Psych 1 class is very easy. Make sure you go to class though, as all test material comes from there. Pay attention to the studies she mentions in class, because they show up on midterms as well.

this was my first psc class and i love it! she makes a two hour class FLY by! don't bother reading the textbook..all questions come straight from letures and pay attention to studies! it's an enjoyable class and will probably turn you into a psc major (along with the rest of davis!)

loved her! exactly what the person said below. i highly recommend you take her. you wont regret it!

Very nice and funny! It's a interesting class, but hard. Her lectures are very helpful so I recommend going -- the examples she gives in class really seem to stick in your head. Powerpoint lecture notes are also online.

She'll keep you entertained for the most part. Tests were fair, TA knows her stuff. 4 midterms and an optional cumulative final. She lets you drop your lowest score (total of 4 midterms tho). Make sure you know how to apply the terms to situations...that's key, and take the online midterm early because you can get 5 extra credit pts this way.

Energetic and interesting lecturer. Fair tests. Easy A

This professor is very good! Her tests are based solely on her lecture! If you study that, you'll be fine. We only use the textbook to do chapter outlines, which are helpful. She has a way of getting the information across and having it make sense. She makes a 3 hour lecture class go by so FAST! I highly recommend her class!!

PURE AWESOMENESS! FUNNY! EASY! AWESOMEEEE!!!!

tests are based on material covered in lecture. so show up for class. she has a strong voice which makes her lectures clear. anyone planning to have kids some day should take this course.

Dr.Mitchell is a great professor - her lectures are always interesting and engaging and she has great stories about her daughter that help clarify the points even more. Attend lectures, take good notes (laptop recommended), study hard. I found that all the pertinent information was said in lecture - the book was good as reference.Fantastic class!

Professor Mitchell is funny as hell and great at explaining and clarifying things, but she talks way too fast sometimes, making it difficult for students to jot any notes down. There are 3 midterms and an optional final; she does not curve. Overall, a good class and a good professor.

Despite her being a younger prof, she's one of the best I've had so far. She's bright, funny, and knows what she's talking about. Her slides are more like rough outlines, which means you're responsible for taking notes (Laptops are VERY handy.). Tests were fair and straight forward--study your lecture notes and you practically have the answers!

Really interesting and entertaining lectures. Talks pretty fast. Tests were not extremely easy, but they were fair.

Professor Mitchell is by far my favorite professor I have had at Davis thus far. She makes a two-hour lecture fly by! So funny, witty, and intelligent! Absolutely refreshing. I will definitely be taking any other class she offers.

She is an amazing professor!I have now taken 2 of her classes and I wish she taught all psych classes because she is so interesting and fun!She does talk fast but she doesn't mind repeating information if you don't get it the first time.Go to class and take notes.dont need the book if you go to lecture.Read over old tests if you take the final.

very enthusiastic, makes lecture fun and interesting and explains concepts clearly. tests are strictly off of lecture -- go to class. print out the slides and take notes! otherwise it won't make sense while you're studying. yes, look over the tests before the final if you take it, questions are reused. fun, easy class.

My favorite professor at Davis! She is hilarious and made lecture so interesting. I didn't do very well on the first exam but then I started bringing a laptop to class and got A's on the rest of the tests. I am staying up for summer just to take another class with her! She's AMAZING!

LOVE this teacher! She makes the class so fun, the time flies in this class. She does talk fast, and her slides aren't going to make much sense unless you go to her class. GO TO HER CLASS! You won't need to buy the book if you attend class. Bringing a laptop would help a lot since the material goes fast, but she doesn't mind repeating things.

Absolutely a GREAT teacher!! The best I have ever had!!The material she covered was very interesting and fun!

I don't know why I bought the book, I haven't opened it once! She is really energetic and lectures are clear. Go to class, bc powerpoints (although online) are like guidelines and do not cover a lot of what she says in class. DONT wait till the last minute to do ur APA paper!

Very clear, energetic, and entertaining in lecture. I always looked forward to going to class. Exams are lecture based so you'll be fine without the book. 2 midterms with optional final. Go to office hours to review previous midterms to ace the final because she recycles the questions! I wish I had her as teacher for my other psc classes!

LOVED THIS CLASS! She is one of the best lecturers at UCD-funny and clear. Attendance is a must-especially if you don't buy the book. Exams are multiple choice and pretty easy. The paper was a breeze (as long as you pick a clear article and follow her guidelines to a T). Overall, one of the best classes I've ever taken.

Go to class, take notes, and get an A! And if you don't, go ahead and take the optional final. She kicks ass! Oh, and a word to the wise-don't buy the book! you won't need it!

Class is easy and interesting, but forget that Prof. Mitchell is smokin hot, its worth going to class just to see such a pretty lady who should be on my sport illustrated calendar

Amazing professor! By far one of my top 5. She does talk really fast but is always willing to repeat herself. The tests (3) are multiple choice and she drops the lowest score, so the class is kinda fail proof. Study and definitely go to her or the TA's office hours to go over the questions you missed because she recycles questions.

The most helpful professor ever!!!!! She goes above and beyond what is needed to make sure that you understand the material and do well in the class. She is extremely funny and attending class was always enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

I really liked this class! I only took it because it was a requirement for my grad program, but I'm really glad I did and that Mitchell was teaching! She's fun and makes the class entertaining. The paper was pretty simple and the tests weren't too bad, especially since you could drop the lowest grade. Take her if you can!

First day of class Prof. Mitchell kind of scared me. She was really REALLY energetic, and I found it odd. Must have been too used to monotone profs. But I found her lectures very entertaining (funny!) and useful. She talks fast, but repeats things she wants you to know. Probably my favorite PSC professor I have ever had at UCD. Highly recommended!

Very clear lecturer though she speaks fast. Offers lots of help, tests are the notes and are pretty easy. The paper isn't that bad just revise before you turn it in. It's a super easy class to get a B in and a little tougher for an A. Don't bother buying the book. Lecture is all you need. Highly, highly recommend. She's funny too. :)

Very funny, interesting, and enthusiastic professor. Class was fun and never a drag to attend. Tests are straightforward--just study the slides and you should be fine. However, watch out for one of the TAs ("John"). He has a reputation for grading unfairly, and I found that out the hard way. Overall, other TAs were very helpful (makes up for him).

I don't know what the person below me is talking about, probably just got a bad grade and is taking it out on the professor. She is one of the BEST lecturers on our entire campus. Take her if you get the chance=)

She is awesome. She makes class so interesting. The tests are not easy but she is very fair. She assigns very little homework, and it is very helpful for understanding the information. You don't need the textbook at all. Easy class, awesome professor, and super interesting.

This is my second course with Dr. Mitchell. She's definitely toned down her cursing but she's still just as amazing as the first time I took her class. She effectively made a boring class slightly interesting. The tests are a little tricky but as said below, she grades fair and is always encouraging students to go to her office hours.

Explains things very thoroughly in lecture. Difficult to approach in office hours (so many people attend them!). DO NOT get the textbook - was not used at all! Enthusiastic, animated teacher; would definitely take more classes with her.

Good professor! She is very approachable (encourages questions) and tries to make a dry subject more interesting. It was an easy A. You just need to go to class and take good notes. Tests 100% lecture-based (don't waste $ on book) and very straight-forward (she allows cheat sheets). Easy, infrequent homework, no papers. Would def take her again!

I wouldn't say that this class was the easiest psychology class ever (some of the exams were difficult), but Professor Mitchell is awesome! Don't waste money buying the textbook...seriously. Not used AT ALL. I struggled a little bit in this class just because the material is so dry--but she does what she can to make it interesting!

I dont usually post comments, but she is a really good professor. She is funny and super helpful. She makes so many examples its hard NOT to understand the material. The book is not needed. Her test are not bad. She is my favourite teacher so far.She makes a boring subject interesting. I had her at 9 in the morning and i didnt mind going to class.

Crazy teacher. Decent class.

She's loud, funny, crazy, and keeps your butt awake for an hour and a half and makes the material stick in your head. Midterms (and optional final) were easy. But clicker quizzes in class and tough-graded worksheets can screw you over. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. She never assigns reading, and never even references the book in any regard. It's all lecture.

BEST TEACHER IN DAVIS. SUPER FUN its actually difficult to FAIL this class. If you just go to class and take notes, you are guaranteed a B- and if you study you'll do better. No need for the book at all. I absolutely LOVE prof mitchelle, funnest teacher in Davis AND you get to learn!. What beats that??

It's amazing that she could be so funny and yet make us learn SO much at the same time. I never daydreamed or fell asleep a single lecture, and they are almost 2 hours long each. She definitely keeps the class interesting, although the topic is pretty interesting in itself. Her tests are actually kind of hard and tricky though, so don't be fooled!!

Don't buy that book. She's awesome though.

One of the best I've had at Davis! She is fun, energetic, and an amazing teacher! Psych 41 is a boring class but Prof. Mitchell makes it great.

I love her! She is so funny, but if you don't like cussing, she really isn't for you. I was nervous for research methods but it honestly was easy as long as you pay attention, study, and listen to her feedback. There is a paper you work on all semester long but if you're good at writing it's pretty simple. My textbook has never left the chegg box

This class is so fun and interesting, you will love it!! But the tests are extremely hard because there are questions from the textbook on them.
