learn by watching t.v., if she likes you, you get an A if not watch out
kiss her behind and you will be fine. Attendance is key and the tests as said before are open/book. She is an excellent teacher of psyc. though. Enjoyable.

What a nutjob. Never shows up to class! Unclear objectives, and prefers some students over others. Is that normal grading procedure? I didn't it was fair.
She is a great teacher who knows her stuff. She kept me awake in all her classes and she doesn't even get up out her chair. Gives stories and makes jokes in between lectures. Fair grader and all tests are open book/note. Hard on tardies.
Awesome teacher! Not particular with students-extremely fair grader. If you study and come to class, you do well. Nice person and very knowledgable!
Good for beginning Psychology. Not too hard a class, keeps it entertaining, and if you actually study and pay attention, you will do fine.

Good teacher. As long as you go to class and know your stuff, your good to go. Sometimes doesn't come to class so you get some days off. Very nice lady and makes the class fun.
She's a great Teacher! As long as you go to class amd buy the book you'll be fine! The tests are all open book and there's only 3 total. Very Fun!!!!!!1
Agreed -- Be nice to her from the begining and she'll be nice to you. Just make sure she knows your name.
Dr. Greenberg is a hard teacher because she demands students show up on time, have their materials, and be prepared. Yeah...that's asking a lot, huh??!! She is an awesome teacher! Her lectures are cool and essay tests are easy..OPEN BOOK!!
She was very pleasant, although made pre-judgements about certain "stereotypes" - old fashioned - get past that, come to class, do your work, sit up front, and be pleasant back & youre in for an easy A. Lectures in outline format at beginning of
Easy as could be as far as class work goes. The problem is that she is old-fashioned and stuck-up. She thinks she is God, and believe me, she is not.
Yeah..Greenberg. not very helpful as half of her class is actually a PARENTING lecture that has nothing to do with the material. In addition, her notes comprises maybe 10 percent of the actual test. That and no one wants to hear Greenberg's dirty jokes or visual images that she so loves to paint.
is none
She is a **** and her class was the most stupid and horrible that I ever had in my life. Don't take her never ever.
She has open book tests but know your chapters if you take her monday, wed,frid because the class is only 50 minutes. I didn't like her she i didn't think she was a very nice person. She misses alot of classes because of health problems
a very easy class if you just show up and make sure to bring your book to tests (all tests were open book and notes). just make sure you dont talk while she's talking and you'll stay on her good side. easy a.
first thing, dont take this teacher, ever. She wants to show up everybody on time like high school students. test unclear, treat you like stupid,quizzes unclear
Awsome teacher. Easy A if you just show up to class and bring your book. Tests are open book and notes.
I took her class in 201 and it wasn't too hard because it open book, open note tests. However, I don't recommend you take her for 202 because you have to do community service and a research project and the class seems much more diffcult than 201
Bad. She should have retired a long time ago. The unstimulating teaching style she relies on belongs to the 50's.
Please dont take this teacher. It is my advice if yo u really trust me. unclear quizzes and notes. She is old however still have bad attitude. wants you to show up on time in class like high school students. treat you like stupid.

ok....if any of you folks taking her class rite now then god help you all... I took her class last semester and guess what pop up quizes which were unclear and if you get two answers wrong she gives you "F". she give smart ass comments if you show up late. All of her assignments are F*cKing unclear.
SHE IS A VERY EXPERIENCED AND SMART TEACHER. SHE DOESNT LIKE JOKERS IN THE CLASS. SHE DISLIKES PPL WHO WASTE TIME. HER CLASS IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND YOU CAN LEARN ALOT FROM HER. SHE IS a great teacher.
This class is an easy A if you attend the lectures and take notes. The pop quizzes help you earn extra credit points. As a teacher, she can be very crude and rude in her joking and will humiliate you if you are goofing off or come in late. For a grade-yes. For the teacher-NO!
EASIEST TEACHER ON EARTH, ALL TESTS WERE OPEN BOOK/NOTES, AND YOU HAD TAKE HOME "POP QUIZES" TEACHER IS HANDICAPPED AS WELL, THEREFOR CANCELS CLASS EASILY FOR BAD WEATHER. GREAT CLASS TO TAKE TO BUMP YOUR GPA UP EASILY.
Her tests are open note so if you're at college level ability they're the easiest tests ever, like 6th grade easy. However if you're not at college level ability or English is your second language it may be a little harder, but not much. She is ridiculous about being on time and attendance.
Easiest teacher ever, I had a 105% class average, dropped to a b+ for missing 1 and a half classes and being late by 30 seconds 3 times. My grades were all A's and I turned in every assignment, so this teacher grades HIGHLY on impression of you. Don't take her if you have trouble coming on time
I love this professor, she is the best.Take her, she will help you a lot if your first language isn't English. She will give you extrat time on open book test if you come and ask.
she is very nice lady and she gives you a lot of credit. Her tests are open books. she is the best teacher.
She isn't very clear on some assignments but I'll make this clear for those thinking about taking her class.... she sucks
this fat ladie she really suckksss i dont think u should have her for this class all she dose is drink her ice tea and sit on her fat a** taken up all the f*ckn space unclear tests n shes really mean good luck people of nova
This teacher is very easy. Her tests are open book and all the answers are in the book. There is basically no need to pay attention in class. She gives a lot of extra credit, too.
This was a very good class except for the fact that Dr. Greenberg always said that my "favorite" word was "death" which isn't true!
Don't think about it!!! i love phsycology but not with this teacher i dont. The class seems to be easy with open book/notes. But she is you are late a couple of times or leave early she will hate on you and bring your grade down. She is mean and very rude. she has a brain of a five year old kid.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR , DO NOT TAKE THIS PSYCO. YEAH HER TESTS ARE OPEN BOOK BUT SHE DOES NOT GRADE FAIRLY; IF SHE DOESNT LIKE YOU SHELL FAIL YOU. SHE IS NEVER AT HER OFFICE DURING OFFICE HOURS PLUS SHE IS ALWAYS SICK SHE IS THE WORST AND SHE HAS NO SYMPATHY AT ALL
At first I thought she was a bit odd, but a good professor, I was wrong. Most sixth graders in Ffx County could pass her tests and do well on the projects, but she will stick it to students who aren't her pets. Which, as proven by the dropout rate, is less than half the class and has nothing to do w/ whether you're a good student or not.
Dont let the open book fool you!!!Her tests are not clear, and let me tell you...she is PSYCHO!!! She is rude and puts you on the spot infront of everyone, and if you respond to her, there goes your grade!!!Trust me from experience, not a good choice!!!!!
she called me out in front of the class and said i was having sex with the girl that sat next to me
She sucks. Period. She gave me an F for not putting my name on extracredit. She talks about people in class all the time. Never i mean Never take her. I have to stay one more semester because she failed me. Don't EVER take her.
DO NOT TAKE HER....I dont know how shes still teaching..shes like 78 years old and shes the biggest B**** ever...she could care less about her students and shes reallly mean..so DO NOT TAKE HER
seems like a nice old lady but she turns on you. she kept me and a couple others after class to yell at us for not paying attention to a movie and wouldnt let anyone defend themselves, cut us off and made fun of us. 4 open ntbk exams, are timed so it makes it harded. i got an A but you have to hurry during tests. Dont have to take final if have A.
don't be fooled by her open book exams! its hard and shes mean.
Not a good teacher. Mean , always complains, rude. Her open book exam is not easy, It's time for her to retire!!!!!!!!!
This woman is a menace, she spends all of her time yelling at the class and telling pointless elaborate stories about what she thinks expands on the subject. Worst teacher i have ever had PERIOD.
she could care less about you. she makes stupid pointless jokes that she expects everyone to laugh at. she's ALWAYS talking about herself and her grandchildren. she never shows up for class and fails to make them up. she's rude. she has these stupid rules about attendance when she herself is never there. i could seriously write an essay on her.
I wish so much I had NOT taken her. She missed so many classes, she is totally unfair in her grading, and she expects students to kiss up to her. I am VERY dissapointed with this class. She is crazy. If you're not in her class yet, DON'T take her and if you have already signed up for her class, DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT!
She REALLY needs to retire. I think at one time long ago she was a good teacher, but not anymore. She doesn't care about teaching or students learning. I got a B out of her class and I was one of the lucky ones.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH "DR" GREENBERG. she is unfair, unkind, and a ****. i'd like to saw half way through her walking cane.
Tests are all open book and open note which is good, the class is very easy over all its just that dr greenberg is old and she can be a little unfair at times. She snapped at me a few times and she gave me an F cause i never went
She doesn't know how to teach to save her life. I was so interested in that class, but she made me lose interest. And I agree she is unfair, but if you get on her good side then she'll be nice to you. And she is too old she should retire, and move far, far away.
bad bad bad! she is such a bad teacher!!! she is def an unfair teacher, i would not recommend you take her class if you want any chance of getting a good grade. tests are open book, but that will not help you at all!!!! lol thats a bit NO form me,
Teacher never shows up for class then she crams like 6 lessons in one and expects you to know it for the test next class. Do not take her.
She gets off on a power trip and even though her tests are open book, she will find a way to fail you
You would have to be borderline retarded to fail this class. Write down what she says on a piece of paper. Read the chapter in the book. Find the answers to the test questions in the book. Receive your A. Granted she's old, and she does miss class for cancer treatments, but she likes what she does. She hates kids who come in high and pass out.
This class is a piece of cake, she's relatively laid-back, just be respectful and you're golden. There's nothing bad to say.
SHE SUCKS, dont ever take her! the only good thing about her is she cancels class like once a week, but the following class she will cram everything in one class. shes rude and mean. if you dont bring a pencil on exam day, and barrow from a classmate, she will not grade your exam.
Dr. Greenberg is hilarious! =] I enjoyed her class very much and I wish I could take it again. If you go in there with a positive attitude, you'll get a lot out of it. Although, you should ALWAYS be in class and she definetly doesn't like late comers. But, sit up front, she tends to like those people more. Be respectful and she'll love you! =]

This woman is ruthless, l am very surprise why Nova employed her in the first place. She yells at students when they want to ask her a question forgetting that without the students she has no job. Meanness is her middle name. Please, don't ever take her class so pitiful and you would end up the same way.
You must be on time which is not bad. Her test are open book with short essays. The prolems is that she isnt very specific on what she wants in the essays and then you get a supirise grade. You must kiss her @ss to get a good grade. She is rude and loves to put ppl on the spot, and she thinks its funny.
Dr. Greenberg is very sweet and funny. There are 4 exams, all are multiple choice. The text is essential, know the material because a few questions might be a little tricky. Be on time and pay attention. Plenty of opportunity for extra credit.

If all the other classes are full...wait for the next semester, before you take her. If she's not in a good mood,and you don't do/look/ask/answer the way she expects it...she'll pick on you the whole semester.
DO NOT BE LATE! EVEN 1 minute. If the door is shut, your late, no further discussion. I drove 90 mph just to get to that class on time. Just know the layout(sections) of the text and you'll be able to find all the answers for the TESTs. If you receive A's on the first 3 tests you'll be exempt for the last Forth Test "Final".SheDoesGiveExtraCredit
the environment in the class will most likely make you sleepy. it's pretty much like listening to a tape. there is no vitality. if you are interested in psy you might wanna think about taking the class with someone else. but if you want an easy class take it with her. exams are always open book.
She like an old mean teacher you had in High School. She will spell every single word and exams ARE NOT OPEN BOOK this term
She is a very good professor. She can be hard sometimes, but she is very nice if youre nice to her.
Funny Teacher but dont get on her bad side. try to help her with the table and chair she sits on and she'll Love u, the whole sym Her exams are Straight from the study guidegives 20 Questions from the studyguied, she has 4 different tests so u have to memorize all the 40 multiple choice from the study guied. there are opennotes quizes evry chapter
She's The best, but If u want her to like you, Respect her, Helper wiht organizing her desk and chair she sits on. she gives lectures and have open note quiz for extra credit.exams are straight out of the Study guide, but careful, u gotta read all 40Q. on ther for she gives out 4 diff.exams. relly strict on writing names on test. do that&u'l pass.
SHE IS THE WORST!!!....she is mean....speaks way to much....waste of money!!!
horrible horrible horrible horrible. she tries to be funny, shes very unfair. she makes psychology such a bad subject. she is the worst instructor ihave EVER had.
this class is awaful.,she gives Extra Credit but is very hard to get. her essya are hard and everyone gets -20 in them. or most people. attanace is a lot of your grade go to class you pass you get low grades in exams but pefect attanace you pass the class. gotten an F- A-D- gotten B final grADe not bad
SHE IS HORRIBLE. IF YOU DONT WANT TO FAIL DO NOT TAKE HER. THANKFULLY THE SEMESTER IS OVER! TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO MESS UP YOUR GPA!
Dr. Greenberg is full of surprises. Everyday is a whole new experience. But, the one thing that remains constant is that she does not mess around. Don't play around in this class, and make sure you are ALWAYS in class.
Mind your manners in this lady's class. She is very serious but if you come to class and do your work like a responsible student should you shouldn't have a problem. quizzes are lecture based. Exams are textbook based. Exams are opennote and open book.
She is absolutely the worst teacher I have ever had. Too lazy to stand up. She spells out every single word wasting more than a quarter of class time. She tries to be funny but fails miserably. Do not take her. Her tests deal with the most picky details of the chapter and while learning psychology can be interesting she makes it tedious and boring.
STUDY DID MY WORK GOT AN A
Don't take this lady's class. The only people that say that "she is WONDERFUL" and "HILARIOUS" are those who sucked up. I regreted taking this class just after 3 or 4 lectures. Knows what she is talking about but her tests, rules, expectations, AND PERSONALITY are ridiculous. No good if her teaching and exams are irrelevant to each other!
ok..so she is sumwut amuzing bcuz she is so strange-she spells every other word during her lectures. her lectures r relevant bcuz if u take notes you can use them onher open note quizes.howevr,tests r hard bcuz they r based on the book n then you have an essay qustion that is random. hrdly EVER allows u 2make things up.dont take if u like ur gpa...
The most ridiculous teacher ever. She's 70 y/o n needs to retire asap. Doesnt write on board so its all lecture. She hates late comers and tries to separate them by making them sign in after class and she even separated 2 rows just for the late comers. Extra credits are given but hard to earn. Is very harsh on students has no heart.
she's mean and cold hearted, is not understanding towards students. she wouldnt grade my exam b/c i didnt bring a scantron. She's a waste of your money!! She needs to stop torturing students and retire quickly from NOVA, before she makes more students upset.
Wow is really rude if you have any type of questions, if you take her do not ask her anything or she will out you on the spot in front of everybody. She'll miss a lot of classes cause of her heath, she missed about 2 weeks for me. Also because she so old she cant do much so all you do in class is listen to her and just take notes.
Worst teacher I've ever had.
This professor was probably the worst I have ever had in my college experience. I suggest no one take any of her classes...ever.
If you wanna have a great day, DO NOT TAKE her class. She will ruin your day for sure. She has no manner and she loves making fun of students in a bad manner.
Greenberg is without any doubt the most incompetent teacher I have ever had. Her lectures are unstructured and difficult to understand, not to mention boring. Her tests are difficult because they cover almost none of the material she lectures on (what little there is anyway).
don't take her she is a horrible teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry the class was Psy 201
Dr. Greenberg was the worst professor I've ever had in my entire school career. She's mentally stuck in 1952, discourages talking of any kind, let alone discussion, tells the most inane and useless stories and is more concerned with you copying down the exact words she says than whether or not you actually understand the material. Avoid her!
Ok.She said the final exam was 'optional'(she didn't mention after the exam you couldn't go back to your previous final grade),i took it trying to improve my grade.I had a B before the final,after the f.exam i had a C.what she did?she told me that the C stayed as my final grade.Later,i took the class again with Dr.Vanevery and got an A. >DNT MS.G<

I have never had a teacher I truly detested until I took her class. She rambles, she's cranky, and she pretty much treats the students like they are complete idiots. On an exam i should have gotten 100% on she gave me an F MINUS (do those even exist?) because I forgot to write the test number on my scantron.
Greenberg is ridiculous. Embarasses students in front of the class, and doesnt tolerate discussion what-so-ever. Shes 72 and should have retired a long time ago. Misses alot of class. Believe me, dont take this class. I am a 4.0 student and got a D. Refrain from taking her classes.
Good teacher, easy A and i recommend her.
she lectures in class a whole lot.. but if you are just looking for an ez A, just buy the book and the study guide. her exams are copied right out of study guide q&a. only bad thing is, you NEED to follow her exam directions (clearly told) and there is no make up exams unless already planned. I will get a c cuz i missed one but the other ones, 95%
worst teacher ever!!!! Accused me of cheating when innocent...she is horrible and will undermind everything you say...
Unfair: does not offer clarification after stopping the lecture and telling students to ask her questions, not your neighbor; tests are fairly short (15 questions) but often gives out F-'s for things like not double spacing the essay portion.
Buy the book and study guide. Her tests are straight out of the study guide word for word. Attend her lectures, speak out once in a while and make sure you follow HER directions on her exams. She gives you a photo copy of a scantron filled out the way she wants. There is No reason why anyone should make anything less than an A in her class.
This is one easy class if you know the way around. Tests are out of the study guide WORD FOR WORD. Text is useless, all i tooked at was the questions for the test from the study guide. Come to class and sleep. Dont do anything to get on her bad side as she has a weird attitude. Take her class, i did nothing and got an A.
okay person but not the best teacher. class discussions have nothing to do with what's in the book and the tests come straight out of the study guide that goes with the text. has the temper of a two year old. anal about writing name and number on scantrons and papers. good person just a poor teacher
Completely ridiculous: finicky about EVERYTHING. Her grading system is completely nonsensical and unfair, grades down on silly things. She is rude to students, often treats them like children, has a horrible temper. Teaching method is terrible, I'm here to learn, not here stories about your life/learn how to spell easy words. Never taking her again
Honestly, she is a mean, rude , picky or can fail students'test (F-!!) almost on anything she dont like. Werid unclear, grading standard. Notes are hard to understand, never use any powerpoint to teach. Dont pick her class or you will have a great chance to get F-!!
worst professor ever. Do not take her. She is getting way too old to be teaching and misses every other class period.
I took her a few years back and thought she was just awful. I got an A but still found her methods to be condescending and unhelpful--Definitely not a student's teacher. Avoid her for the semester or two she'll still be around.
worst teacher ever had. do not take
as long as you take good notes youll pass the essay part of the exams and you dont need the text book just the study guide and the multiple choice from the study guide is the exact test questions. at the end you dont have to take the final if you have taken 3 of her tests already.
Probably the worse professor I ever had. She is always so bitter. Greenberg is very critical of everyone as well as how she does her essay grading. As for the multiple questions; they are all from the study guide book so I suggest you buy it if you take her class (which i don't recommend--you will be miserable!) She has an attitude when helping me.
Bitter old lady. Just mad at life in general. Needs to retire and is always missing class because of health issues! Grades tough. Do everything HER way.
WORST BAD HORIBLE..... she thinks she knows everything and gave me an F for cheating. which is totally false.
All Multiple choice questions on exams are straight from the study guide. . . word for word
Florine Greenberg in a nutshell - she frequently trails off on half-hour personal tangents that are completely unrelated to the subject matter, she berates students who request her help, and she indulges in a smug and arrogant attitude despite the fact that her aptitude in teaching is questionable at best. Avoid this woman if you have the choice.
Very nice and sweet lady! The other people who "hate" her probably never came to class, was always late, never paid attention, or never did work or studied for quizzes/exams. Her exams are usually multiple choice and essay questions. She gives essay questions a few days ahead so you are able to study. Likes to make students laugh.
The most worse and horible instructor i had ever come across.very mean.always spends an hour to talk about her sickness and grand children.please serious students who want a good transcript should avoid this old woman.miss classes because of sickness.i think she should go on retirement.97% of the class hate her.
dont take her...her test are completely different from class notes.she doesnt teach what is on the test...
Greenburg just lectures all class about stuff that does not relate to the textbook at all. Then her test are "based on her notes" from class, so you cant miss class, but she has trick questions and they barely relate to notes!! Just do not take her, I went to class everyday, took tons of notes, read the chapters, did the essays and still got a B-
Dont make the same mistake , don't take her , for your own gooe
She is boring and spells words out for the class like we are in preschool. Test are on her notes, not the book. I walked into class 15 min early for a test so I could ask to buy a scantron from a classmate. She had already started the test and almost kicked me out of the classroom. I have a 3.5 gpa, I'm not lazy, she is just terrible.
This professor is completely unfair. She doesn't answer questions if you ask her,she is exteremely unhelpful. For her writing ssignments, if you do your best, she thinks you bought them. Her exams are just general knowledge, they have nothing to do with the lecture or textbook. Honestly she is the worst teacher I've ever had, because she is unfair
I made the biggest mistake of the semester, which is taking her class. Extremely boring and very mean to foreign students. not considerate of the difference of being foreigner. We may be foreigners but we are not stupids . Please don't wast your time whether u r natives or foreigners. She is mean to ppl ... not nice at all!! west of time ...smh
greenberg is a nice teacher if you don't say anything in class. asks open-ended questions on exams, such as "the earth is [blank] years old." I studied the hardest I've ever studied for each test, and still ended up only with a C after a grade curve and a 100 point bonus she gave the class for "participation" (aka, she wanted to cover her ass).
Worst.Teacher.Ever. She is by far the worst at NOVA
No Comment
If you value the status of your GPA do not take the class!!! Her way of teaching is completely inadequate, and her rules are unfair. She does not uses the book at all, the test will be on the notes she gives out. 25 question test, 24 of them fill in the blank (no word bank) question 25 is an essay out of 4 essays she gives a week before. the worst!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR... She is just not mean to students but also if you ask any question to her, then you're gone.
There's four tests and she drops the lowest grade to one of them. The tests are open book and are really easy if you take notes. she gives extra credit for weird things. She's pretty boring cause all she does is sit and talk.
she doesn't use the board to write, talks pretty fast and she does not use textbook at all. You are not to ask questions. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Greenberg is an amazing teacher. You will pass if you pay attention in class. Test is multiple choice with short answer questions. Bring a tape Recorder because that is all you will need for studying for the exams. Very funny lady. She will open your mind. Highly recommend Her
Dr.G. is one the best professors I have had the pleasure of learning from. She is more than willing to go the extra mile if you are willing to make an effort to learn. She is tough but absolutely fair. I have no doubt she has forgotten more about her field than I could ever aspire to know and hope one day I can be as well versed in my field.
She is a great teacher and I do recommend her class. Her tests are not all that difficult if you PAY attention and take notes. She does give a word bank but may have more words available than needed. She sits because she is disabled and walks with a cane. However, she is absolutely brilliant!
Stay away from her class.
she is great. Slow talking. Linear thinker so do everything as she wants. super easy test
great professor
REally Good Teacher!! smart lady.
Honestly Dr. Greenberg is a great proffesor. Her lectures are clean and straight to point while being entertaining. There are 4 tests, you are only required to take 3 and they are all open note and book although you dont really use the book. The class is easy just come to class and take notes and youll get an A
Worst professor I've had in my entire college career so far. Despite her warning that the course "would proceed very quickly", we progressed at a snail's pace. She sits at her desk and talks at the class for three hours in a very slow, very monotonous voice, without even engaging the audience. By the end of class I just wanted to hang myself
Has medical reason she sits behind desk for class; tests are open book, handout and notes; very slow in lecturing; can be rude and disrespectfully to students, treats them like children; be warned, but if you take good notes and attend class you'll pass the tests - just watch out for her attitude.
Dr. Greenberg is not your conventional Psych Professor. She does not cater to lazy students and she does not spoon feed the information into our mouths. I am a Psychology major and plan to continue my education for my doctorate. Dr. Greenberg can be rough around the edges but has the best intentions and is passionate about psychology!
Her class is super easy whether you take notes or not. And the exams have a word bank. Just show up to class and you should be good. Easy A!
Dr. G is a great professor - for students that pay attention. She is grandmotherly strict and does some good-natured ribbing to students that tend to offer too much to the class. She tells all of the students on the first day that the class is going to be very dependent on note-taking. All of the answers for the tests can be found in your notes!
If you can brainlessly take notes... you WILL get an A in this course. She doesn't stand up to do much so prepare for a preaching.
Overall not a horrible Prof but it is important that you attend each class and be a skilled note taker; exams come straight from notes and are open book. She wants you to succeed and do well in her class. Key is to act like the adult you are and take course serious, you'll get an A simply by effort. Can be snarky but it's to push you to succeed.
Easy professor. Highly recommend her
How does this lady still have a job? I took her class back in 07 and was curious to see how many people felt the same way I did. Every. singles.day. she would walk in with McDonald's and spend 30 mins talking about her medical conditions. For a psych teacher you think she would have figured out McDonald's is no good. My semester was not open book
easy class, all u have to do is go to class everyday (be on time) and take good notes (write out every single word that comes out of her mouth) tests are open book and pretty easy if you took good notes in class. just follow these things and you'll pass class with an A
she's not helpful at all, and rude! Her ckass is easy as long as you take notes, and all test are open notes. however, she likes to pick on students for the smallest things and has an attitude. If you can avoid her, do your work without asking for any help then take her class otherwise don't. i got an A but I barley ever spoke to her
Okay the professor teaches her class only by talking. You HAVE to take notes on her lectures. Her exams are open notes/book. You can't miss a class b/c you will miss so much info. Just show up & take notes and pass her exams. Easy class if you pay attention and write notes!!! I will recommend her!
very easy class as long as you take notes. all tests were open notes/book/handouts. she doesn't like to be interrupted during her lecture. she always sits because she has leg problems and can't stand for long. i took her class and got above perfect grade but others who didn't take notes or showed up failed. she gives out so much extra credit! easy.
I love Dr. Greenberg!! psy201 is super easy just come to class ready to take notes and she gives out a ton of extra credit by asking or answering questions in class. Tests are open book, notes, and handouts. I highly recommend her for this class. :)
Don't take class with her, she is old and can not handle the class very well, just talk, talk, talk,
Honestly.. This was an easy class to pass. As long as you took notes! All exams were open notes, textbook, and handouts. Pretty much if you failed an exam.. You were just dumb. Easy class to pass! She can be kind of rude, but I saw it as not wasting time on students who were wasting her time. Don't be stupid, take notes and you should pass.
She is the worst! Do not take her class!! She just talks down to all of her students and has nothing nice to say. She does not explain things well AT ALL! Her tests are fill in the blank and the questions are like ___ is the best ___? like that could be anything. I just did not like her at all!
In an instant she'll switch from fun and pleasant to strict, mean, and stubbornly unreasonable. She actually told a classmate of mine that she has mild Alzheimer's, which would explain A LOT of the issues we had in class. It's an easy class if you attend every day and take notes, but I also don't feel that I learned much, so your mileage may vary.
Easy A class. If you just show up and take notes I swear to you, you will get an A. Every test she gives is open book. Even the final if you take it (if your first 3 tests are good you dont have to).
This is a professor you want to AVOID. On the first meeting she seems like a charming old lady, but she can turn into a rude and ugly woman the second you disagree with her or point out something wrong with her boring teaching style. all you have to do is take notes and you'll be fine, but it's a very boring "stuck in the 50's" style. AVOID!
This class is an easy A if you show up, take notes and do all the assignments.You have to listen carefully because she does not provide written notes. She sits in her chair and talks for over an hour. All the tests are opened notes. The book was useless because the tests came from her notes.If you can stand her terrible personality, take her class.
She is the best undergrad professor I have ever had. She is very eager to help, and very passionate about teaching. I recommend her to all my friends.
Dr. Greenberg doesn't like to repeat herself. Don't waste her time if you're going to talk or text in class. It's an easy A.. Just listen, write down notes!! This is the key to pass all of the exams! There are 3 exams and the 4th exam is optional.
Very easy show up take notes. All exams are open notes really all you need to know is the definition of the words that she gives you easy A
Worst. She started to be an old nice lady, giving extra credits for answering questions in class, the longer it takes the worse of her class. She stops giving extra credits and starts being very mean and rude to her students. She gives incorrect info to her students. Has strong stereotype for other culture and countries. DONT TAKE.
Very hard to pay attention to. EXTREMELY boring. PLEASE don't take this class unless you have prior Psychology knowledge. The book is useless didn't use it once. Everything on the test is what she says. No power points or anything sits there and talks for an hour. Very rude when you ask silly questions.
This woman.. If you do not have patience, please avoid taking this teacher. She puts people to sleep and she does not have a nice attitude towards her students. She acts like she is the queen and if you even stretch, you are insulting her and she will call you out. Avoid!! The class is easy and her tests are open notes. I did not enjoy her though.
The exams are long and almost entirely based on the textbook, which is not used in class. She tends to wander off topic in her lectures, which makes note taking difficult.
She tends to wander off topic in her lectures, which makes note taking difficult. Often keeps lecturing five to ten minutes after class should have ended. Every class is a long, boring lecture and the textbook is not used. Exams are long and based entirely on confusing lectures. Very rude when asked for clarification on anything.
She is rude and terrible. Prepare yourselves to write down every single word she says in your note and you'll be prepared for the exams. Her class is boring. She gives out a study guide of keywords before tests, but not that helpful, because it includes words like "two". I'd choose another teacher who's more interesting and helpful.
Easy. Easy. Easy. As long as you show up, you'll pass. Although the lectures could (and have literally) put me to sleep, she's sweet, sometimes sassy, but helpful. I would take again.
Very rude, disrespectful and condescending toward any student for any small reason. For example, asking a question at aporiot times before or after class. You can do well in her class IF you take notes of everything she says. No power points. No writing on board. You have to listen. Again, EXTREAMLY disrespectful, condesending, rude and mean.
Very easy going, although can be sassy sometimes (which I find hilarious!) Units are easy to follow. Tests are a breeze!!! They are open note and book. She only lectures (no power points) so you have to go to class and pay attention. I recommend recording the class on an electronic device. The textbook sucks so we didn't use the textbook very much!
she is the best! all you have to do is listen to all her lessons. she give good examples and tells us stories. take notes on what she says. sometimes she spells out word to help us out if we were not able to spell it. she sometimes tries to be funny which sometimes they are. all her test are open notes and you would be able to use your textbook.
OMG she is horrible. You better record her, really record her because her exams are based on everything she talks. Don't ask question otherwise she will make you feel like "pos" in front of the whole class.
Her grading did not make sense. She talks so much bs that I would be mistaken if she's saying something that happened in her life that was about 100 years ago or if it was actually part of the damn material. Btw, she's sassy, good luck taking her class. She's old too, just a brief description of her
This class is easy!! People aren't lying when they say she has an attitude, but that's only if you are being disrespectful and talking in class. She sometimes may not like to repeat her self because well why weren't you listening. TESTS ARE OPEN NOTES! Not a lot of homework, but we got a lot of handouts. Many chances for extra credit which is great
Her exams are mostly on what she talks about in class. No Point on buying the textbook for class. She wont hesitate on putting you on blast for talking in class or being late to class. Barely gave homework or collected it.
Dr. Greenberg's lecture is only verbal so take good notes. She gets distracted very easily. Sometimes gives wrong information but you can't say anything because she'll degrade you in front of the class. Her grading technique is strange and she won't tell you what grade you got. She doesn't give clear instructions on how to complete assignments.
i would never take her again because she talks a lot .. mostly her lectures are just her talking and have to take notes from that. Her exams are something that she never teach in class ... please dont take her
I took PSY201 with her & loved it. She's a bit forgetful but her tests are open note and in direct correlation to her lectures in class. Sometimes she goes on tangents but some of those showed up on the tests so write down what she says!!!!! Very easy A if you listen and take notes :)
She's pretty easy. However if you need help she acts as if she's above everybody. Very condescending, rude, and unhelpful. Her tests are all open notes but it has nothing to do with lectures. I asked her for help once after class and she yelled at me, shooing me off. Hated her, and I'm glad she's leaving.
She was very clear she's older so she has lot's of stories to tell. The easiest Professor I had thus far.
