I would not reccomend this professor if you are a serious psychology student. All she does is jabber about things that you already taught in other psychology classes. Her lectures are simple reviews and the tests are not at all challenging. Easy "A" even if you don't show up to class regularly.

One of the better professors I have experienced at UNO. During her lectures, she does read from her notes, which some student's may find boring, but she is beyond informative (ask questions for discussion). She is passionate about teaching, wants her students to succeed/study/learn. Most importantly she teaches unconditional love!

Dr. Reed is a wonderful teacher! Her lectures do contain a lot of info, but she puts her exact notes on moodle and gives you a test review with the what will be on the test. Her tests are in the format of "which of the following are false," which makes it easy to use the process of elimination. Textbook optional.
