Great class, easy A/B if you put in the work. She's one of those teachers that really holds your hand through this class. She teaches the material you're going to see on the test. 1 essay that she grades quite generously. Just make sure you show up to class even though she doesn't always take attendance. The material you see in lecture is the test.
She is absolutely hilaroius! She makes the class fun, offers extra credit and grades generously. Deff take this class with her. :]
shes wild, but keeps class interesting and is a really good at teaching
omg she's soooooooooooo freakin funny! i loved her class! she's hilarious! i couldnt go to the lecture often but wen i did class was sooo funny! i love u mrs. breeden! btw remember her name!!! its an extra credit question
Great teacher, interesting, and fun.
Very charming teacher, and knows her stuff. Class is very fun and fairly easy, and worth showing up for. She finds ways to bond with her students and keep everyone engrossed in the material.
She is awesome! She gives great study reviews + extra credit. You have to be a slacker not to pass this class! She makes it so interesting that you want to come to class. I'm taking more classes with her.
SHE IS SUPER FUNNY. GREAT CLASS SHE MAKES YOU WANNA COME TO CLASS, ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE EVER HAD!
She makes the class so interesting and fun, really relates the material to life. She gives you a study guide of whats on the test (though sometimes her test ques. are worded weird). Lectures are all online! One big paper that she grades somewhat on a curve. Whether or not you like psych TAKE HER CLASS!
Emma Breeden is really awesome, funny, smart, interesting, and easy on the eyes! She keeps you entertained and most important interested in the subject. She is very knowledgeable in her field and has experience which counts! The thing I loved best is that she allows her students to be active participants in a fun way. Great professor!
she is hot teacher. she is clear and willing to help you. do the journals (1 per chapter) and sometimes you can do two per chapter(extra credit) there are 4 tests very straight forward and the class before the test she would do a revie streight from test so you know what to study. take her! great teacher
By far one of the funniest teachers I have ever had. I had her for a once-a-week 3 hour class, but I honestly never felt like I was there that long. She is entertaining and makes the time go by fast. We got a 3x5 card for each test, which is enough to get you a good grade. No homework assignments, 1 term paper.
This teacher is amazingly nice, crazy and funny. She makes you love the subject and is never ever boring. By far my favorite teacher!!
Breeden was a great teacher! She really knows her stuff and it shows in the way she teaches. Not only was the class a lot of fun, but I learned a ton! Take her for any Psych class you have!!
One of the BEST! Her experience and excitement makes the class enjoyable and very, very interesting. Take Her, you will not be disappointed, Psychology is fun and entertaining with her.
Absolutely fantastic teacher in every way, she makes the class a blast to attend. If you want to get anything out of psychology that's not just credits on a transcript, all it takes is Breeden's abnormal psych. Funny, very knowledgeable, and helpful.
Definitely one of the best professors at SCC! I highly recommend this class to everyone! Professor Breeden is very helpful and she really teaches the material well. Her class is an easy A if you just read all of her notes before the tests. A MUST TAKE!!!!
Emma was a great instructor and class was always so much fun! she makes boring material so interesting and relates it to everyday life. She has a fun personality and lets you use a note card for the test! recommend her class!
Took, Ms. Breeden's online summer coure, was very fast paced, and definitly a lot of work. However learned alot and got some units done. She is very fair and very clear in what she wants, also provides many notes, ppoints, and other things that help prepare you for exams!
Overall her lectures are easy to follow and she explains concepts well. Though she has a good sense of humor sometimes it went a little too far haha.
Emma is a genuinely great teacher. Not only does she get the material through, she actually cares about her students and is quite engaging. Personally, she's my favorite Psych professor on campus, and I really do wish she taught more classes. The work can be difficult, but it's totally worth it. If you have an option, take her over other psych prof
Professor Breeden is a great teacher! She used powerpoints during her lectures and explained them very well. Everything was easily accessible on Blackboard and she constantly kept the class updated. Her journals and tests were straight forward and directly from the notes she provided. She made learning fun! Definitely recommend her class! :)
Professor Breeden has a very big personality, and she has a lot of fun teaching psychology. It's very easy to learn from her because the way she teaches and tests is very low stress.
Professor Breeden has a upbeat and humorous way of teaching. Very clear and uses great examples to really get the concepts to stick. Take her. An A is very possible to attain, if you do the minimum you can still manage to get a B in the class. Highly recommended to take Abnormal Pscyh w/ her! Oh, and did I mention she's attractive haha.
Professor Breeden is a phenomenal teacher. She has a lot of psych experience that she brings to the class. The class is challenging, but the way she relates to the students and breaks down the material makes it doable. I would recommend taking her for any psych course.
Mrs. B has got to be one of the best (and hottest) profs on campus (SCC), in my opinion. Had her for intro and abnormal psych. Tests are easy to comprehend. Lectures are broken down into manageable power point presentations that are both fun and comprehensive. She has an awesome personality and a sense of humor as well! Highly recommended!!
Took her for Human Sexuality and she's very entertaining! She keeps the class interested with plenty of examples and her power points have all the information you need for exams. She even brought in a toy lady to help with examples! It's a great class and very informative! Plus she's really not bad to look at!
amazing teacher! makes class fun and helps concepts stick by using relevant funny examples. best teacher you will ever meet. tests are easy if you attend lectures and do the study guides. if you dont study you will not do well.
Amazing professor! She's on her game. This woman knows psychopathology and has a passion for it. She's honest to a fault, has a great personality and will really make you enjoy learning about abnormal psych. (Spring '10)
great teacher
She is so funny and down to earth! She makes learning fun and easy. Really an excellent all around teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory, but u never want to miss a class its so fun!
Best professor I've had, you actually really want to go to class. Makes learning fun
Professor Breeden is a great professor. She is a really down to earth person and speaks the truth. Her favorite lectures are: Drugs and Sex. Homework is easy (10 one page papers), 4 exams that consist of 60 questions and gives a few extra credit questions on the exams. I would take her class again.
Pretty easy class. Really boring and routine, though. Not the prof's fault. Lots of reading and discussion boards. Prof. Breeden was very clear in her expectations and was quick to answer questions if we had any. Didn't really get to see her enthusiasm for the subject shine through too much, but I blame that on the course being online.
Mrs. Breeden is one of the best professors, here at Santiago Canyon College. If you're looking for a teacher that interacts with her students, and is always willing there to help you. Than she is the professor for you, for psychology and other subjects.
I've taken 3 out of 4 of her offered classes and plan on taking the 4th this Spring. She's absolutely knowledgeable in the Psychology subjects. Her teachings convinced me to switch my major! Not to mention, she's caliente!
She's an awesome professor. I've taken her twice now, and she only gets better. She makes lectures very entertaining and is very knowledgeable about the subject. Tests are relatively easy and the workload is light. I truly recommend taking her.
Awesome!
Awesome Teacher! If you're just getting into psych, definitely take her class! She is super funny and the class is always interesting. I'm currently in her lecture hall and I think it's awesome how she can make 140 students laugh at once!
She is a great professor! If you genuinely are interested in Psychology then you'll really enjoy this class. I took her late night class which was cool because I am such a night owl and her stories while lecturing are so entertaining! If you can do a little work and actually pay attention then you'll do just fine in her psych class.
Breeden was the best professor I've taken so far! She makes everything clear, and you can tell she knows exactly what she's doing. Her tests are simple, just study of course! Her lectures were the best, she'd always make it interesting. I'd take her class again in a heartbeat.
She is so passionate about her job and you can tell!! Her lectures always keep you interested, she's outgoing, loud, energetic and passionate!! She makes us laugh constantly. Review sessions in class are just like the test! If you put the work in you'll do great!
This professor is amazing, although the material is difficult she makes every effort to help you understand it. As long as you send her an email about being absent or late she usually is very understanding. Professor Breeden's lectures are very energetic and very close to her exams. I am and would take her again!
Best Psych professor by far! She is so funny and her lectures are really interesting. Her reviews are EXACTLY LIKE THE EXAM. So make sure to write the questions and answers when doing the review in class and you will get an A! I'm a psych major and and looking forward to taking her for abnormal psych next semester! Not done with the semester yet.
AHHH SHE WAS THE BEST! I took her over the fall of 2015 and she was amazing! She actually diagnoses patients so she really knows what she's talking about. Her teaching methods are just so good!! I swear, she made me fall back in love with psychology. Honestly, she's probably the best psychology professor that I have EVER had. Definitely recommend.
Very kind professor. I only met her once to get my grade sheet filled out. This was the first online class I did not drop. She made it really easy to reach by email, and replies quickly. She offers extra credit. If you take this online, then make sure the computer you take the exam on has a good connection. Only 2 attempts @ exam. Last score used.
Emma Breeden is amazing. Very funny woman and makes her lectures very interesting. First name basis with all students and she is super genuine. She is very witty so get ready to laugh. A lot. I loved her class. She is also smokin' hot. You'll love her class.
This was my second psychology class I have taken at Santiago. Mrs. Breeden is a great professor has many years of experience in her field and her lectures were super interesting and she always made the class laugh.
This is my 2nd time taking her! She's the best! Her lectures are so interesting! Breeden is the reason why I majored in Psychology. Take her, trust me! She is a bit out there but in the best way possible. THE EXAMS ARE THE SAME AS THE REVIEW! Go to the review and RECORD IT! That' s how I passed with either an A or B in all my exams! 1 term paper!
Professor Breeden is a fantastic professor! If you ever have the chance to take her class, jump on it! Her class made Monday my favorite day! Her lectures are so interesting and it is very easy to get an A in her class, just read the book and study the notes and you'll do great. Also, listen to the review sessions! She is hilarious as well!
Breeden was a great professor, but not as easy as the reviews here say. She knows her stuff and it passionate about the subject matter, but she expects a lot from her students. The tests are hard and the assignments require a lot of writing but are fun and useful. She truely cares about the students and make the class fun. Minimal extra credit.
She teaches the material okay with interesting stories that will help you remember certain terms. Study guides are given for every test & are easy if you review the night before. However she sometimes makes inappropriate comments and overshares her personal life. As a psych major i didn't really enjoy her class and wouldn't take her again.
Breeden is a nice teacher and very active in class. She lectures based off PowerPoint. She goes over a lot of material so pay attention. There is a term paper given half way through the semester, it is easy if you put the effort into it. Look over the study guide a few times before the test and you should do fine. Good luck!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! her lectures are very special by being loud, funny, and interactive, to make the material stick to her students. really knowledgeable teacher.
She is amazing! She makes her lectures very interesting. Her teaching style is very animated and involved which helps the students remember the information.
My favorite teacher. Ever. Super nice, funny, energetic and relatable. Teaches everything necessary but ACTUALLY makes going to class interesting and fun.
THE BEST TEACHER OF MY LIFE. hilarious. she makes learning so much more and creates amazing discussions. I've had her twice and she's created a passion in psych for me. She tells amazing stories every second&is easy to talk to. CANT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS! if u want to get an A in her classes GO TO EVERY REVIEW, TAKE NOTES on every ? ,& MEMORIZE
Professor Breeden is so amazing! she's hilarious and gives a lot of scenarios from her past working as a psychologist that really helped me personally remember certain things. STUDY STUDY STUDY! and make sure to do all the application journals, very easy and will really help your grade.
Best Professor at SCC hands down. extremely interesting and I'm going to take her again :-)
By far the best professor I have ever had! Her lectures are long but she makes them so interesting and fun that you'd almost wish the class was longer. Don't be intimidated by the term paper; it is straight forward and suprisingly not as stressful as it may seem. Make sure you study for every exam and you should do great!
Professor Breeden is inspirational and hilarious. One of the best professors I've had at SCC. I highly recommend you take her class. You definitely get the grade you put in time for her but the material is awesome.
Professor Breeden is an awesome professor. Definitely do her in person class instead of online; lectures are long, but are fun and interesting. If you put effort in her class, you'll do well. Definitely recommend.
She is pretty funny and makes the subject easy to understand. Reading is a majority of the homework. Make sure you really study before the exams.
I really liked Breeden. She is hilarious, and she makes her lectures interesting. I learned a lot because I was so engaged in her lectures. She gives intensive study guides, and there are no surprises on her tests. She takes the time to get to know her students and make them feel welcome.
This is probably one of the best professor's I've had. I also took her for child psych and I loved the class. There is a big paper due in abnormal psych at the end of the semester but I enjoyed writing it so it didn't feel that bad. The only bad thing is that your grade is based off of the exams and the paper because theres no other assignments.
Abnormal psych seems much more intimidating than it actually is, so please don't be afraid to take this course! This class was simple, with weekly discussion boards and 4 tests. The discussion boards are not gradely harshly, however she will go into detail to point out what you may need help on before the test. Could really tell she cares!
Professor Breeden is one of the best professors that I've had in my college career. While she makes you work for your grade, she is very encouraging and provides fascinating insight into her field. I am seriously considering becoming a psychology major after my time in this class and I attribute a lot of that to her fantastic teaching skills!
You need the book! She gives you an Exam study guide, USE IT. She's straight forward. Gives amazing feedback with discussions! do the work and make sure you have your notes ready for the exam! Do the dicussions! It will make a difference in your grade!!
OMG!! Breeden if you are reading this I need you to know that I love you with all my heart!!! I didn't know psychology is very interesting until I took this class with her! I promise you that you won't ever regret taking her class! You will learn a lot and you'll enjoy the class so much! She is very funny! There are 4 test and 6 applications jounal
Really interesting class and she's really funny. She sometimes takes her jokes a little bit too far though and they can get a little inappropriate. But overall she's cool, I wouldn't mind taking her again.
I took her class during Spring of 2018. She helped me realize my potential in psychology, and inspired me to change my major and shift my career focus. Without a doubt, she is the best psychology professor (and maybe the best OVERALL professor) at Santiago Canyon College. Review your notes, show effort in her class, and you will succeed.
Awesome Teacher for Psych 100, Abnormal and Sexual Psych
This professor is hilarious! She is super fun, despite me having this professor for the 10:15 am class I was wide awake during her lectures because she was so funny. There are about 10 application journals that you must do through out the semester in order to pass. And just a tip almost all of her online test questions are on quizlet. Thankmelater
Amazing class highly would recommend a total of 6 Discussion boards. For the DB you need the TEXTBOOK and READ! 4 Exam 60 questions each. 2 extra credit assignment 5 points each similar to DB. What I enjoy about the class was how she provides a link going over the power-points. Make sure to do the study guide if you want a HIGH grade on the exam.
Don't walk in late / try not to miss class. Read the text and use exam study guides from day 1 to answer all the questions. Quizzes are easy and recycled on the exams. Do the work and get your best grade. Emma is awesome ! Don't miss taking one of her classes.
No regrets taking this class. Breeden makes the classroom a fun, open, and educational environment. If you can, take her class.
Grades based off of 12 DB (6 pts each) (2 are extra credit - 5 pts each) and 4 exams (60 pts each). She grades DB's the day after it's due, very quick! Clear feedback, tells you what you missed and what she's looking for. Also, use textbook for DB's. Overall, I learned a lot about abnormal psych!
She keeps things interesting. Do the application journals, they're the only homework assignment. If you read the book and pay attention during class you don't need to study for the tests. She does 4 tests, no midterm or final. Minimal extra credit. She does thorough reviews based off the actual test questions. Highly recommend.
This is my favorite professor at SCC. She's so clear and helpful, not to mention hilarious! Her exams are online and are so easy. I still learned so much though, she is such a good professor. She is understanding, funny, kind, and such a good teacher in general. I'm taking another class of hers because she taught me so much. Take her if you can!
my favorite professor of all time!! if you study and pay attention in class, its an easy A. she is legit so funny, caring, and such a great professor in general. definitely taking another psych class of hers again.
Very comedic, fun, jim carrey-esque teacher, you can tell she did theatre lol. I learned a lot about myself as well. I suggest every first semester 1rst year student should take this class cuz the chap. on memory will teach you how to study. if youve always had trouble with grades, take this class!! youll learn a lot, just put in the effort!
Don't miss Emma's fun lectures, take one of her classes. She has a lot of insight as a person who has worked in the field as a social worker. There is never a dull moment in her classes.
Honestly... I just took her because of all the food reviews but she is horrible. She is such a tough grader and sets time limits on exams and expects you to write an entire essay on discussion board and yet isnt satisfied. Im disappointed I thought she was going to be great but she is not.
She is a great teacher and I really enjoyed her class. I am enrolling in her abnormal psych class this next semester. She gives informative lectures. Pay attention, participate and you will get a good grade. She does give you the opportunity to use an index card with all of your notes written on it for the test.
Super funny professor! She is straight forward and goes by her syllabus, a lot of reading! But you will definitely understand the lectures better if you actually do your reading. Ask questions. Attend the review days and don't miss class because application journals; small amount of points but it will add up toward the end of the semester.
Take her class!! She really knows her Psych and her lectures are so enjoyable. I took two of her classes because I loved her class so much. She's a bit tough on grading but if you follow her instructions you'll be fine.
She is an amazing teacher. I took her psyc of human sexuality class. Her class was online due to Covid-19. All you needed to do was participate in the discussion boards every week and listen to her lectures that she posted on canvas. study guides really help on her tests! Take notes and do the study guides and you'll pass.
I am a freshman in high school and took Professor Breedens 4 week summer class to challenge myself. She was amazing! Her lectures are very entertaining which made it easy to memorize the course material. She is very gifted and clearly loves what she does. Watch the lectures and read the textbook. She is very straightforward and kind.
I don't think many people realize that we're in college and these classes will get difficult. That being said when taking a psychology course theres going to be work. Professor Breeden is inspirational, she makes the topics enjoyable and easy to follow. Just do your work and ask questions and you'll pass!
This is my third time taking Breedens class and I can honestly say she is one of the best professors at SCC. She is passionate about psychology & reflects that in her lectures. Because its a college class, the responsibility falls on the student to put in that effort. However, Breeden is there every step of the way! Amazing Professor and person.
Breeden is a very unique professor. Shes kind and funny and throws in some college level jokes and her class is mostly easy. However, she has a term paper for the semester. It is incredibly stressful and I followed the paper bullet-point by bullet-point and still got a bad grade on it. Shes a tough grader, but a good professor.
Shes honestly such an amazing professor. She snapped me out of my high school mentality of procrastinating QUICK. Her lectures are great, she explains everything so well and answers almost any question you ask her. I learned so much in this class and it was when Covid got bad and we had to be online, she made it great! You wont regret picking her
great professor, discussion post about once a week. Although she does expect you to write a decent amount on the discussion board to get a good grade. Do the work and you'll receive a good grade.
I took her intersession class so it was a lot more challenging. Her voice in the prerecorded lectures sounds really professional which can make it boring (but its not too bad). If you meet with her through zoom you'll see what a great person she is! A lot of questions from the test comes from the textbook so be sure to look at that too.
Lectures are long but break them down and pause for 30-minute mark, discussions are well understood but be detailed and specific use examples from the book, attendance do homework on time and discussions, though she was concerned about my grade- email her for assistance. Took this class for like 1 or 2 months, study guides are provided for exams
Prof. Breeden is amazing, patient, and helpful. I took her Abnormal course online, but I wish I took her in-person b/c she's so nice! The course was video lectures, weekly discussions (LOTS of fun; gives you real examples of what you learned), and four 60-question MCQ tests. Read the book. Ask questions on the Q&A form. Visit her office hours.
I took the online 8 weeks course Psychology 101, don't waste your time memorizing the 100 definitions words that she recommends because they are not in the exam; read the chapters, and that's all that is in the examgrade fast which is good. She does little teaching the test worth most of your grade. I recommend this teacher.
Professor Breeden was always very helpful and gave good feedback. Psych. was not a favorite subject of mine, but I managed to get a B with the assigned coursework and lectures. Thanks, Professor Breeden.
I have taken Prof Breeden for a total of 3 classes now. If you do the study guides, listen to lectures, and read you will get As on the exam.
Prof. Breeden would be a tough grader on some things but that was also my fault as I would not really follow the rubric and not give my full effort throughout the semester. Overall, she's a really good professor and I highly recommend
Professor Breeden is a great professor. Her assignments require a lot of writing but it helps you to understand and demonstrate your knowledge. She is exam heavy, with an exam once per month. Though online, her lectures are clear and helpful, Papers are graded quickly.
Amazing, the lecture videos she gives are very helpful, and when she doesn't give lectures the videos she provides are really helpful. Textbooks are also really good at helping you on topics. She also grades at a really great pace. Take this teacher
Funny, knowledgeable, unique. Has personal narratives that relate to the class material, so you will never be bored in her class. Take her in person vs online b/c these traits are best expressed in class.The term paper around the end of the semester requires a lot of effort but she is willing to help. Graded on participation, term paper, and tests.
I took her 4-week summer online course. 10 discussion boards, 4 multiple choice tests (60q 60m). My only problem was that in the beginning of the course she said we could use notes and textbook for test and then halfway through she decided that if you exit the tab to view your notes or textbook it's considered cheating. Other than that she was good
Professor Breeden is Great at what she does, her class was tough, but I learned a lot from it. There were weekly quizzes, and the discussions involved a lot of detail, and her lectures were fun and interesting. Make sure to do the readings and to reach out if you need any help, she is very understanding and helpful! I would highly recommend!
She is the best professor I have ever had. So funny and engages with her students during lecture. Her exams are straight forward.
She is an amazing professor! Definitely recommend child psych if you're thinking of it! She LOVES discussion journals and they are fun. Textbook, but you can find it (online for free psssttt)No papers. You have to keep up with your reading. If you study averagely you'll get an average grade on test. Study good, and you'll do great! LOVE HER!!
This class -Psychology of Human Sexuality is really just a human sexuality class, its a joke. I'm a psychology major & this class had nothing to do with psychology. PLEASE be aware. During exams you can't leave the exam page, which means no using google to help with a questions. Study guides are ridiculous, you have to memorize the book to do well.
Very caring and funny professor. Had office hours.
Breeden is my FAVORITE professor ever. She is full of life and energy, be prepared to have fun while learning. Her classes are always entertaining and she is really understanding when it comes to work/school/life balance. There is a reason why her score is so high. She is a huge inspiration to me and a big reason why I am majoring in psych!
Professor Breeden brings great energy and passion to her classes. The material can be challenging, but with the textbook, engaging lectures, and tools like unstuck ai, you can succeed. Definitely take this in-person if you can.
She is passionate about her job, but veers off of medical science in some of her personal views that she shares, an example being that she seems to despise psychiatry and psychiatric medication. The subject material is fine, and her review sessions for exams are great. She's just a rough personality that isn't for everyone. Take at your own risk.
