While it's true that she did seem unknowledgeable about the content most of the time, her notes were pretty comprehensive and 15% of the course was based on participation and forum posts, which are basically free marks. The midterm and exam were tough but completely doable because they were open book. I pulled an A solely through using control F.

I don't really understand the hate I see her getting. I think she's a new prof but I thought she did good. The notes make sense and the exams were fair. The paper for this class was graded fairly. Also, she was very understanding and caring towards me over emails. She seemed like she wanted everyone to do well.

Good prof, great exams

Good prof, great exams i dont know why the dude below is complaining, Erin Scully is the GOAT ��.

Her notes were simple and straight to the point. I don't understand why some people rated her so poorly. She explains stuff easily by providing examples that are really easy. Her exams were fair. No textbook is needed. All of the questions were from her slides.

Given the format of the class, I was really impressed with Dr Scully. Her lectures were great (but prerecorded), and her notes were clear. Both midterms were fair and easy, and it was just a very enjoyable experience.

I don't understand why people don't like her- Dr. Scully has been nothing but awesome all semester. She's accessible outside class, accommodating, and is kind and approachable. Assessments were very fair, and things were marked in a timely manner. Epic!

I really enjoyed professor Scully's class this semester. Her midterms and the final were very fair and the assignment that she had us to was very interesting. She added humour into her lecture which made the material much more interesting. Despite other reviews she is very knowledgable in her feild and is always helpful with the material.

She is the best!! I don't know why other people are hating on her but she is my favourite. She explains everything so well. She jokes around in her videos too which made me look forward to her videos. Her exams are super fair. I would totally recommend taking her

Literally the best and coolest.

She's a new prof and psychopharmacology is not her field of study. She makes lectures interesting but definitely doesn't know the material as well as I would have expected for a 400 level class. Her dyslexia definitely doesn't pair well with pharmacological terms and she can't elaborate on lots of the info. I would take another class with her

Definitely cares about being relatable and making the lecture fun. This class is honestly free marks with the low difficulty of the exams and very very low workload. You could easily get by on just the videos she's provided.

Professor Scully was excellent for PSYCH 473 (Seminars in Biological Psychiatry). We had student lectures (which needed participation) about half of the time, and then asynchronous lectures the other half. The presentation was very doable, and exams were fair. Professor Scully is an engaging lecturer and such a nice person, would highly recommend!

Prof. Scully is a solid professor, she does her best to make class interesting and is energetic and nice. The course was quite easy and very low workload, just exams (require some memorization), research participation, and one very simple written assignment. Recommend if you are interested in the topic or want a more chill Science elective.

The best new prof. I love going to her lectures. I know some people didn't like the exams, but it seemed more like people had never taken a psych exam.

Take the online course if you want a laid back class. Test were fair. It's just kinda long. Dr. Scully was really nice but the online videos can get boring.

she was an easy marker and she had very clear expectations in some cases it felt like she expected much less so overall in the sense of presentations and the term paper it was a breeze. The lectures aren't mandatory attendance but she verbally tells you a lot of information which may be more helpful than just what she adds on slides.

Fantastic Professor! Makes the topics you learn interesting. Good comedy. Respectful to students. Excellent communication skills! This is a professor that cares for her students and for her specialization. Classes were fun and enjoyable every time!

She did a very good job teaching the material but I found the course layout just awful, each chapter was broken down into individual videos which made studying a challenge. Be prepared to keep track of which video (and time stamps) she talks about each topic and you'll do fine.

The tests were not difficult she will tell you what to expect on the test. She was also super chill during the lectures and made psych more interesting. There were 2 midterms and an assignment that was 6 brief questions that you could send to her for feedback and basically get an easy 100% on 5% of your grade. A real GPA booster with a great prof.

One of my favourite courses I've taken thus far! Sure, she said a few things that were incorrect, but she would always correct herself, and was learning along with us (it was her first time with this course). Those who had trouble likely did not show up to class or ask for other students' notes. I was able to stay engaged for the entirety of class!

Erin is a good proff. Not sure why she was rated lower since the beginning of the year she had a nice 4.5/5 rating. She was easy to understand and made instructions clear. Would take it again if you're looking at PSYCH as an option. She has terrible jokes lol and has a weird sense of humour, but not too shabby.

Her lectures were engaging and I found the course easy enough for the most part. The written assignment was a free 5% and she outright tells you what's going to be on the exams. However she was pretty disorganized and I might be hesitant to take a higher level course with her, might explain the contrast between her reviews in 104 and 275.

Okay - she is a very nice and funny person. If I could learn neuroscience from personality alone, I'd give her a 10/10. Unfortunately she was just not well prepared to teach this course. I know it was her first time, so I hopefully she can move forward with a little more familiarity with the material. I'd love her if she just knew material more.

Dr.Scully is hilarious! I thoroughly enjoyed her lectures. I would suggest attending class as she gives a lot of examples to help you remember the material better and hints about the midterms and the final.

Super fun prof! She won't grade anything that was not discussed in class and the course goals are super clear. Loved the notes and her support, 10/10 would take again

Not here for the Scully slander. She is very approachable and takes criticism with her teaching very seriously. I've had her for 2 classes and she had made these awful bio heavy classes so much easier. She knows her stuff and knows how to simplify things for the most thickheaded individuals (me). She has great energy and responds quickly to emails

I had her for the first time this semester and she was awesome. Her lectures were actually enjoyable and it seemed like most of the class wanted to be there. I didn't find her tests to be very hard, and there was only one small homework assignment

Scully is a rlly good prof, she tried her best to make the lectures entertaining & related them to her own life, making it easier to remember. Her exams were pretty easy too, if you pay attention & just study you'll do good! Her final is cumulative but it was so crazy easy, very surface level with no crazy indepth questions. 100% recommend.

Very enthusiastic about what she taught, with lots of examples provided to reinforce concepts. 2 midterms that you could receive good marks on with small-medium amount of studying, a 1-page written assignment, and a 100-question final that was slightly easier than the midterms. If you need an easy and interesting elective, I recommend Dr. Scully!

loveddddd erin, she came up with little stories to describe ideas and they helped me remember things better for the exams. shes so fun, I actually enjoyed going to her 8am. and she gives such good hints as to what will be on the finals, throughout her lectures she will literally give us the answers.

I'm unsure if this is due to Dr. Scully or because of the course material itself but this PSYCH 104 class was probably the easiest science course I have taken in my entire life. Despite this, I remain fond of Dr. Scully. I found her lectures very entertaining, and her many attempts to assist the class may have very well led to my success.

Don't be scared by these reviews. Class was great, easy A. Scully has the background so sometimes she jumped ahead of us, but always reined it in when we had questions. Also gave extra credit.

She's very knowledgeable about the topic and can easily answer any question her students have on the concepts. She's very clear on her instructions and expectations for the midterms and final exam and completely understands the life and stress of a student. Would definitely take again

Scully is an amazing prof! She made classes incredibly entertaining and gave good examples for specific topics. The midterms and final were very straight forward. She is also available after lectures for questions, and has accessible office hours. Her review sessions tell you EXACTLY what to study for. I highly recommend her to any new student!

She was a super great professor and always made assignments as easy as possible because she doesn't like to grade things. Although attendance isn't mandatory it is really useful to go because she gives answers for the midterms and final. She had a whole class before the final to tell us exactly what topics to study before the exam.

Erin is a really great prof and makes lecture very enjoyable. It's her second time teaching this course, and she 100% took the feedback she got from last semester to improve for this one, so I really appreciate and respect that. She is also very easy to follow and gives good examples. I highly recommend her, she makes the course easy and fun.

It surprised me to see such a low rating. I love Dr. Scully and her class!

She is one of the funniest, and easy-going profs you will find in uni. She makes class so fun, and she always sets her students up for success. She informs us what the test will be on, and makes sure we are fully prepared.

Her lectures were good and a lot of the material was a repeat of Bio 30 so sometimes it would get repetitive. Her exams were very straightforward and it was not like she was trying to trick you in any way. She isn't the most professional when it comes to emails but the class is so easy you probably won't have to email her anyway.

Scully was great, show up to the lectures and put in the effort and the class will be a breeze.

Scully is a hilarious prof, her lectures are never boring and she posts lectures online too. She is clear about what would be on the exam and never tries to trick much, overall totally recommended

Awesome lady, tried her best to make classes engaging and interesting. What was taught in lectures directly correlated to the midterms and exams. You can tell she wants you to succeed in this course. She writes her exams in a way that makes sense and are not aimed to trick you. Overall would highly recommend.

Overall, I liked Erin. She was very engaged in her lectures; you can tell that she is passionate about what she does. Quizzes at the end of every chapter were based on the textbook and not as much about what was spoken about in class, which I wasn't the biggest fan of.

Lectures are engaging, prof is very funny and passionate about teaching. Chapter quizzes do require the textbook and aren't off the lectures, but you get 2 attempts and searching for key words is usually enough. Sometimes questions on exams are a bit of a stretch; exams have a lot of application/story type questions. Overall very fun course.

Funny and entertaining, and clearly cared about what she was teaching. The midterms and final were straightforward and only tested on lecture slides. She held a review class before every midterm and final where she gave very helpful details for the test. Some brief open book online quizzes based on the textbook. Overall fantastic professor.

She is clearly very passionate about the material and cares about the success of her students. Her lectures were engaging, and she made sure to explain difficult concepts in multiple ways. She was always willing to answer questions and give extra help. She also held review classes and gave helpful hints for the midterms and final exam.

It was a super easy course, plus she made all the information interesting and easily understandable. she gives a brief overview of tests before them and they are always spot on so always show up to the review class before a test.

Loved Scully so much. She is forsure my fav prof I've had so far. Super funny and entertaining and exams were so easy and straightforward. The exams were lecture based, textbook only used for short online quizzes also super easy, so legit just show up and jot down what she says outside the slides and you are set. Never a boring class w Scully!

I looked forward to every psych class because of how hilarious Erin is. She explains the concepts in such an entertaining way and her passion for the topic is evident. I will say this is not a class that you can get away with not studying but it's very minimal effort needed.

Great professor. All lectures were posted online and explains content in simple ways.

If you are looking for a PSYCH 104 prof to take highly recommended. Exams were very straight forward and relatively easy. Take notes about what she says in class and study, you will do great in this course. Come to class because her examples during her lectures are so helpful.

Scully is very approachable and is willing to answer any questions you have during class and during the exam! The way she explains things just makes so much sense to me. I took this class last year and find myself comparing a lot of my new profs to her. My only complaint is that her tests are pretty difficult.

I enjoyed Dr. Scully's class, she offers lots of examples and helpful tips in her lectures. Her tests are very straightforward and not too difficult. Was recommended her class by a friend, and did not regret!

She deserves a way higher rating! She is caring about her students and not to mention SO funny and keeps the lectures light-hearted and fun. You can ask her about what is going to be on the midterm and she will tell you. She does achieve quizzes that require the textbook but other than that the tests are ONLY on lectures. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

I honestly really enjoyed Dr. Scull's class to the point where I changed my major to psychology. Taking detailed notes in class really helped me get an A+, and if you ever miss a class, she posts prerecorded videos, so you won't fall behind. She takes the time to answer any questions you have and is very caring of her students.

Erin was the BEST! I took her 104 class as an elective and loved it. She is a super entertaining lecturer and clearly explains the material with lots of fun examples. Her exams are not hard as long as you put some effort in. I will take one of her classes again.

erin is amazing! this was genuinely the best class I have taken in university. take her class if you can!!!

she was an amazing prof! her lectures were very engaging and easy to follow. she gave many diffrent examples and exsplained things in differnt ways. she is kind and easy to ask questions too.

Truly a GREAT prof! Her lectures were fun and she seemed to really enjoy what she taught which made it easier to recall later. Midterms and final were fair and all based on lectures so I would highly suggest going to class bc she even gives hints during! Textbook was only used for online end-of-chapter quizzes that were also easy! LOVE her!!

She tries to spice up lectures & make the material interesting, providing personal examples. Tests are ALL based on lectures (no trick Qs!), & the textbook was only used for online quizzes (worth 5% and easy). She was very flexible and understanding, & had a strong personality. Some people dislike this but for me it helped make psychology more fun!

She is amazing, such an engaging lecturer. She wants you to succeed.

I LOVE ERIN !!!! She was SO funny and such a good teacher. Her analogies used in class made the concepts so much easier to understand, and her tests were never too difficult. She was such a memorable prof. Easy A.

Good prof. Tests are easy if you attend the lectures.

Overall decent prof with a strong personality. Tests can be a bit unpredictable, but at least for the spring term the assignments and quizzes were grade boosters. No need for textbook, which is a BIG plus. Always make sure to write down what she says, and not just the notes, as the explanations often ended up on exams.

Awesome prof, honestly might be the best prof for psych 104. She's very clear on what you will be tested on. There is a lot of material but she teaches it all in a way that it's never confusing, and if you are confused she'll give you examples or explain it differently to help you understand the concepts.

Best 104 prof there is. Lectures were clear and interesting. Only said useful information, easy class to follow because she broke everything that you needed to know down. Made big ideas simple and was engaging, she read the room with the class, she would make sure we understood before she moved on. MIDTERMS EASY IF YOU STUDY. Take her if you can!!

i wore a seatbelt every time i had her class. her exams were easy, and the textbook was useful. I just hate using achieve its lame

She makes millennial jokes all throughout class but honestly she is a very good teacher. She cares about her students and answers all the questions you might have. She has very good class examples. She cuts out a lot of things she finds boring(wont be on the midterms or the final). i enjoyed this class.

She taught in a well manner that makes learning easy and fun. Helped explain the concepts in a simple yet detailed way with examples that would aid in remembering the material.

She posts all of her lecture videos so attendance isn't necessarily mandatory but I would recommend attending as she tells the class exactly what would be on the test. She uses great examples and makes it easy to remember. She is funny, relatable sweet. If ur planning on taking this as an elective class like I did, get ready for a lot of studying.

I thought she was an excellent Prof. I believe that some of these ratings are way too harsh. People are complaining that her slides were right out of the textbook, but I think that's better because then you don't have to actually read the textbook yourself, which I like. Her exams are very fair, and she only tests what's on the lecture material.

Dr. Scully genuinely wants her students to succeed. She gives lots of hints during lectures and even has a review class where she'll answer q's about which concepts are important. If you go to class, take detailed notes and study you'll like her as a prof. Also, no textbook! Took so much pressure off to have no readings and made me enjoy learning.

If you study the slides progressively and ask questions when confused you will do well in this course. It's not challenging, and tests are formatted pretty well (one tested written question was confusing). Everything's clearly outlined, the written assignment takes some time but marking is straight forward. Take it if you strive to do well.

I Loved her lectures! Her lectures are fun to attend and I highly recommend attending them as they are more useful than the slides. Her exams are fairly easy. Throughout the lectures, she would point out stuff that will be on the exams and she is really helpful in the exams as well. She is the best!

the material isn't particularly interesting, but she made it very engaging and easy to parse through examples and jokes. the midterms and final were easy as long as you attend her lectures, which isn't difficult to do, because they were genuinely entertaining :) however, the last quarter of the course was very rushed.

A great professor to have! Her lectures were very fun to attend even if it was at 8 am in the morning. She taught extremely well, giving very niche examples that were so specific that it was hard to forget that level of detail for a certain topic.

can skip lecture and have no issues, just make sure you go to the lecture before midterms and the final cause she always says what is and isn't on the test

Great overall prof, made class fun and interesting, genuinely one of the greatest profs I have had

Dr. Scully was quite honestly the best prof I've had so far in my university career. She was accessible outside of lectures and genuinely cared about her students. She didn't teach anything that wasn't going to be tested and she always gave hints for exams during lectures. Her exams were very straightforward and never a surprise.
