Great instructor! You know what to expect from the first day. I wouldnt say this class is easy there are times where you have to think outside the box which makes it fun. The tests are easy for the most part some questions are detailed and hard to recall. Reading the book can help but its hard to learn from lengthy and dense textbook chapters.

Great instructor! You know what to expect from the first day. There are a few discussion boards and 3 "major" assignments that I thought were interesting. The tests are easy and most of the questions come directly from notes. Reading the book can help.

Awesome instructor. Took Dev. Psych online and enjoyed it immensely. Open-book tests, clear and simple syllabus/instructions, and interesting assignments. Just do all the assignments and be familiar with the chapters before the tests and you'll do great.

Took her Developmental Psychology class over the summer, and recieved an A. Naturally, you don't need the book because of the emphasis she puts on her lecture notes. Read the lecture notes and you will do great in this class. Four quizzes and three papers which I do not even belief she reads. Overall take the class.

Took online. She sent out emails on EVERY WEDNESDAY and SUNDAY telling what the next assignments were. Appeared helpful, but I sent her a question and she NEVER answered it. Did not enjoy this class. All the answers to the tests are in her lecture notes, never read the book. Got an A. Was not clear, but the class was easy (8wks)

Took her developmental psych class online. Easiest online class ever. She sent out very clear emails, if you didn't understand then you have a problem. We had 4 tests, a few assignments, and a few discussion board questions. So so so easy. And yet you still learn a lot! Not a blow off class, but definitely not too difficult. Take her for sure!

One of the best professors I've had so far. Took Intro. Psyc. online 8-week course. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be and I learned a lot at the same time - very well balanced. I definitely recommend this teacher if you are someone who wants a good grade AND wants to learn the material as well.

I took Fern Marrs' for Developmental Psychology online. The assignments and study materials were posted to Blackboard and were easy to find. He opened some of the discussions and other assignments early, so that allowed me to work ahead, and he highly recommends that students do so. I was allowed to resubmit an assignment, so thats cool.

I took Developmental Psychology as an online summer course (and don't regret it) as a part of my pre-reqs. Ms. Marrs was always available when I had questions and responded quickly to emails. Read the assigned chapters in the book and review her notes and the tests are straight from that. Do the other work assigned and you'll get a good grade.

This is the easiest class I think I have ever taken. She gives you notes that are identical to the tests, which are open note. I literally copy and pasted the notes into one document then searched key phrases for the tests. The introspective type papers that were one page. VERY EASY.

She took FOREVER to respond to emails & there was 4 days between last test & final, over 4 chapters each, a week before sem is over. I complained to & about both those facts to her & the dep head, and I think she gave me a low score on the last grade, dropping me to 89. When I asked what she took off for in my discussions, I got no answer, still.

Hardly ever responds to email. Not clear on due dates for assignments or tests (Due dates are NOT on the syllabus). The web text is confusing. The class was easy to pass, I just wish the instructor could "INSTRUCT". I have taken online classes before and never had this many issues. Left me frustrated many times. Great subject, bad instructor.

Great online class if you have a life. But you will still learn. Tests from her chapter notes almost completely. I probably could have been fine without the book, but it's a pretty good one with some interesting extra articles. Teacher is always available and gets back quick. She wants you to do good! ... and you should do good it's easy peasy.

Mrs. Marrs is really good at responding to email questions, and is not condescending when you have questions. Her Assignments are interesting and she rewards effort. You have 5 tests that are open book and a couple written assignments that are easy A's if you are on the right track. There are discussion board topics to answer too. Lots of reading.

Fern Marrs is the worst professor! She clearly does not care about her students. She would test on material and allow her students to use two different textbooks. The new edition is the book sold at the campus store and Mrs. Marrs clearly didn't update her tests or power points with the new edition. I was disappointed in her class!!! Worst prof!!!

Professor Marrs is an easy grader in regards to the 4 critiques and discussion boards - however, she had a few due date errors that made it confusing and the tests seemed to reflect a previous edition of the book. Marrs replied to emails quickly and sent out reminders bi-weekly. Pretty easy class minus the tests!

Ms. Marrs was terrible. Due dates were unclear. There would sometimes be 3 different due dates for the same assignment. She did not care for the success of her students. Tests had questions that couldn't be found on her study guides, powerpoints, or in the book. When my concerns were addressed, she ignored them. Do not take her classes!
