She's a really nice lady. I thought her test would be really fair. After the class average was around a 60 on the first test, I thought that she would curve a little bit (seeing as though this is an intro/gen ed. class) but she didn't. It was a little upsetting.

She knows her stuff but the class is looong and boring. Her tests are difficult and the class averages have all been failing ones..she isn't a bad teacher jsut study for her tests! she doesn't put all of her slides on blackboard so you may miss something if you don't go to class.

This Class is really really easy. It's too easy for lots of people. If you read the book, and go to class, and take notes, you'll pass. She doesn't really stray from the book much, which is boring, but at least you know whats on the test.

I think that she is a good professor, and yes the class is easy, but who doesnt like a neasy class once in a while. I have cognitive psych with her and she is very knowledgeable. most of the comments are about psych 101 and that is a class with tons of info so that is why it might be hard, but it is not impossible if you go to class and take notes

The professor was very clear and gave great notes. The lectures were kinda boring and too long. The class was pretty easy... only problem was that she crams TOO MUCH information into each exam....like 35 pages of notes for each exam...and I write small! Overall she's really nice and knows her stuff. Study every day after class...it helps!

All i have to say is the only days you should go to this class are test days. DONT waste your time with this woman- a terrible teacher who reads STRICTLY from her powerpoints. All you have to do to get a decent grade is outline the chapters FROM THE BOOKshe tests right from the book. Also she gives a 6 pt. curve to your final grade, so I got an A.

These comments are really unfair... PSY100 is a hard class with any professor! There's a lot of stuff to go over. Prof Shivde is more than willing to help, you just need to go to her. She's very enthusiastic about cognitive psych, and her slides are really helpful. PSY100 is NOT supposed to be an easy A class!!!!

The class was very very difficult and I studied for hours b4 each test. Barely got a C-. However, Dr. Shivde is eager to help you in anyway possible. Overall, would not recommend.

You'll understand the experiments in book better if u read it on ur own & don't listen to her talk about it.She makes it confusing.Use the study guides & go to her test reviews they HELP ALOT!Still not sure if her lectures helped or not.She is okay.I've had much better.She's a very nice woman tho. & very enthusiastic about topic.Wouldnt recom.her.

I expected this class to be an easy A, but it isn't. However, I think Prof. Shivde was very nice and helpful, for as much as you can be in a lecture class. You can't expect to show up to class and ace the tests. You have to read the book on your own and actually study for the tests. She's very willing and eager to help if you need it. Recommended!

Prof. Shivde is hard but fair. Some of the earlier comments are totally unfair. If you do the reading and pay attention in class, you can do fine.

You should definitely print out the slides from Blackboard and have them in class. They are very helpful. She will not put anything on the test that she didn't go over in the lecture. She's a nice lady and she gives good examples about the topics. Overall I would recommend her.

She uses a powerpoint every day and posts the notes online so going to class is optional. Her tests aren't hard as long as you read the notes, and there are only 4 of them. No final, no mid-term, easy class.

Pretty good teacher. Usually answers your e-mails within the day you send them. Very good at explaining the material. You don't really have to attend the class, but sometimes she will mention material that is on the test that isn't in the textbook, so it's helpful to go and at least bring something else to do, just in case she mentions something.

she's great the class is fairly easy but there is a fair amount memorization not too excessive though. class isnt mandatory but it definitely helps your understanding of the info if you go

go to class, textbook is not necessary as long as you follow and understand the powerpoint slides. tests are easy and she does a good job explaining

class is not mandatory but GO! a lot of the test info is not in the notes she has you print out before class, it's in the lecture material she gives. she's nice and really tries to get students to come go over their tests with her.

very helpful. i wanted to change my major to psych and she was very good in helping me with my questions. i also enjoy her class very much. just pay attention and it's not hard.

she does not take attendence, but GO TO CLASS. trust me, if you show up and then study the reviews sheets , then you will do well on the exam. dont buy the text book!! all the info is right in the notes/slides she gives out.

This class was pretty easy & manageable. Many complain about it, but it's not hard at all if you just read over the powerpoints the night before the test. The tests are pretty easy as well. I barely went to class and just studied her powerpoints/study guides before the tests and got an A. Take Prof. Shivde because shes simple & easy.

This was a huge class so I can't tell you much about her. The tests were easy as long as you studied the PowerPoints and went to class every once in a while. She knows what she's talking about, and can be fun. And most importantly, she doesn't care what you do. It's up to you.

Geeta is a great professor! She is very smart and informative. Her class is very easy, but you still learn a ton. Don't both buying the textbook...I didn't use it once. She gives you all the notes you need. She is also available for her students in her office and she is quick to return emails. A+ professor!

Lectures are rather boring, but she says many good examples that help on the test. Since attendance is not mandatory she gives random extra credit in class for coming. Pulled me from a B to and A on more than 1 occasion.

Very nice, can tell she loves the subject. Coming to class isnt necessary, but you;ll have a better grasp on the topic. Tests are hard unless you study

Her class made psychology interesting, it is easy as long as you show up to every class and take notes. If you do like me, printing out the power point slides before the class and taking notes on them, you will not even have to open the psy book.

Powerpoint on D2L, 3 tests, one project/paper. Not an easy A but not impossible. If you go to class, print out the slides and pay attention you will get a good grade. No need for the textbook

Dr. Shivde is really sweet. The powerpoints are on D2L, but she adds and skips info so in order to know what will be on the tests its good to go to class. She gives nice study guides..overall good gen ed

All of the readings were online which was really helpful. She will always answer any questions for the presentation and the research paper, she's great! Also some of the class periods were used as office hours so if her regular office hours didn't work for you, you could go in during class time.

She's a really good person. She can't see you if you raise your hand, so don't bother asking questions in class just send her an email. For our class she posted video lectures online a lot but she would always post them at like 10PM the day before class which was frustrating. Overall she was a good teacher and I loved the course.

Shivde was dry for Cognitive but I loved her Neuropsych Seminar. All the research articles are online and you have to submit reflections on a number of them. She provides a lot of feedback on the paper and is really big on in class discussions. I learned a lot about deciphering research studies in her class, great environment

I took this class as a hybrid, so we had online Connect assignments due every week and one in class meeting per week. The online assignments were super easy. I honestly never paid attention to her in class, I didn't watch the online lectures or review the slides she posted. She gave a study guide before the test and that's what I used. Easy Gen Ed.

One homework assignment a week, the textbook is online only but I only needed it to do the homework assignments. Tests can be passed just by studying the notes from video lectures and lectures in class. She's passionate about her work and her final is not cumulative. Attendance to class is required but it's not dreadful to be there.

Was not a bad gen ed but unless you're actually interested in psychology I wouldn't take again. She gave in class assignments worth credit almost every lecture so I wouldn't recommend skipping. Gives a study guide before exams but exams are still kind of challenging. Dry lecture that corresponds with online work due before class.

She's a fantastic teacher. Very clear and makes the class interesting. The online homework corresponds to lecture and the online lecture videos she posts. She's very nice and has a soothing voice. If you show up and pay attention, you'll do just fine. She also gives a helpful study guide before every exam!

Very nice woman that always has a smile on her face. Every class there is a group assignment that is very easy and only takes 5 minutes. 3 tests including the final, which are non cumulative. Its a hybrid, so she does post online lectures, but the class is fairly easy.

She's a good teacher, just do what you're required to do and you'll learn from her.

It's a huge lecture but If you do online assignments you'll do good. She offers study groups and lectures aren't essential. Doesn't take attendance but there are small in-class assignments. Generally, good teacher.

My section of PSY100 with Professor Shivde was a Psychology majors only section. The lecture had maybe 75 students. As long as you do the online assignments, you will be prepared for class. Attendance is taken by in-class assignments that she hands out (to be done in groups). She always is smiling!

Dr. Shivde is an amazing woman and professor. She really cares about her students and will set you up for success as long as you pay attention and do the work. The class is not the most interesting, but pay attention to her lectures and you will get an A.

PSY100 is a hybrid course. You are expected to do a lot outside class. Every week she posts video lectures & a connect assignment that must be done before class. You can keep doing it until you get 100, so 18% of your grade is easy. Her study guides before exams are very helpful, but still be prepared to study. Her final isnt cumulative either.

This class is a hybrid class so you are expected to watch her video lectures, which range in length, and complete connect assignments. Towards the end of her lectures she makes you get into groups and that is how she takes attendance. She also gives out study guides for exams which are extremely helpful as long as you elaborate the information!

Shivde is a great professor, super sweet and she definitely knows what she is talking about. The course itself relies on a lot of lectures-- video and in person. She does 5-point group work during the in class lectures to essentially take attendance so I wouldn't recommend skipping too much. Tests are pretty easy if you study for them.

Dr. Shivde is such a sweet woman! This class was hybrid so if you don't do all of the online work outside of class, you will quickly fall behind. She is really nice during office hours as well! Take her for Psych 100!

Very good teacher. Tests are 75% of grade but arent bad if you know the things on the study guide that she gives you at least a week before the test. Homework is 18% and is easy and attendance is 7%. Not hard to earn an A if you show up and know the study guide

I had Shivde for intro to psych and I got an A. Now I'm taking cognitive psych with her. I think she does a great job of explaining during lectures and is pretty engaging. I never purchased the (mandatory) textbook because she will tell you if there are sections you need to read and provide you with review questions before the exam.

Attendence is taking by group work each class, the textbook is online. She knows how to teach in a way that people can understand.

I had Dr. Shivde for PSY100 and loved her. Took her again for cognitive and thought she did a great job teaching the material and is very knowledgeable on the subject since that is her field of study. Last semester I took her senior sem and really enjoyed it! Lots of article reading and discussion but they're not too hard. Would take her a 4th time

She was a very understanding professor. Very involved in class work and always around for office hours. Big exams but said everything that was on it. Cared a lot.

She is a good professor. Simple, easy, and straightforward. Would recommend

Super sweet!! So much lecturing though. Easy to pass if you pay attention and study. The textbook doesn't do much though.

Professor Shivde used her lecture slides as an outliner but be sure to write down things she says in lecture. If you attend each class and take good notes her tests are fair and consise. She is alway willing to help and you can ask as many quetsions as you need. She will offer extra credit and the end of the semester project will help your grade!

I took PSY 100 and it was 1/2 in class 1/2 online. Both her online and in class lectures were very clear and helpful. Each week you have an online assignment due, 3 exams total with no cumulative final. She sets the class up with very clear expectations and ways to get an A. Super easy and good class overall, I enjoyed it!

If you are a psych major, you already know Prof Shivde is the best! For a 400 level class youll have to work for it, and if you skip lecture youll have a lot to figure out on your own! Graded on 3 tests and final paper... Gives a review guide for every test which is super helpful! Great teacher and explains things very clearly.

Professor Shivde is very down-to-earth and understanding. She is a lenient, non-harsh grader. No quizzes or tests for this class: Just research articles/studies, summary and reflection papers on said studies and a research proposal and presentation. Although I wish we spent less time discussing research articles, the course was planned perfectly.

Go to class. Take notes. Don't buy the textbook. Exams are online. One hefty paper at the end, start it a little over a week in advance and you will be fine. She is super sweet and wants us to understand and apply the information. It is a super interesting class and would suggest taking it. Gave me a lot of new perspectives.

take this class. it's so easy. one/maybe two homework assignments every week due when your class starts. you read this informational textbook excerpt (that she provides, and you don't really need to read it, it's self-explanatory) then take questions about it. takes around half an hour. tedious over anything. no final! she's caring and friendly :)

Take this class over PSC 100, EGP majors! It goes towards the same Gen. Ed and it so much easier and so much more helpful if you want to be a teacher. Class is only once a week and all the assignments and exams are online. Work can be tedious at times, but it's very easy. She's super nice and her lectures are easy to follow.

Dr. Shivde is an amazing professor and she makes the class interesting. There are no exams, just weekly one page summary/reflection on the research article assigned. There is also a research proposal at the end of the semester and it includes presenting the material and turning in a research paper for it. All in all, I highly suggest taking her!

Dr. Shivde is such a good professor and is super passionate when teaching, I enjoyed having her for Psychology she made it super interesting. Her assignments are easy and so are her exams which can be done outside of class. Her lectures/notes are super heavy, but she posts recordings. Overall, her class is impossible to fail, just do your work :)

Tough class, but worth it if you put in the work. Take detailed notes, use the review guides, and don't skip lectures. Exams are challenging, but manageable with unstuck ai and other study resources. The professor is helpful if you engage with the material.

Her class was the easiest one I had. She would give a nice 30-40 minute lecture while providing the notes, and then you would have a connect assignment due before class. Only grades were the connect assignments which were only worth 2 points each, and 3 exams(no final). Was very open to answering questions and was very helpful.

I took it as a hybrid class and it was really easy! All tests were online and open note. Lectures were once a week and were intriguing. Would definitely recommend for anyone even remotely interested in Psychology.

PSY 100 was a lecture heavy class but as long as you actually attend and take notes it's relatively easy to do well. She goes through a good amount of material each class and has Connect assignments due as well. She answers emails quickly and does her best to help if you're having trouble understanding something.

She's kind and seems to really love teaching. Class is very lecture-heavy; lectures are just put onto D2L, so no point in showing up to class because attendance isn't taken. Also, she gave me an extension for my assignment that was days late because I had a family issue, she offered counselor resources, a really sweet woman with good intentions.
