Her class is laid back and relaxed. She is very funny and nice.There is not much homework, but when there is it is long and detailed and sometimes after pages of work you don't even get a grade.Just a check mark, which is frustrating. 4 Exams through out the semester.You need to memorize EVERYTHING.Also 4 written essays and about 5 pop quizes.

Mrs. Norton is a great teacher, not that much homework but it is a must to study for the exams..make sure you read the modules prior to class also and attendance is important because she goes over each module with a powerpoint and plus the questions on the exams can be of what she talked about in class!! Overall I would take her again if I had to!!

Professor Norton was absolutely amazing! She really is passionate about her class and actually wants us to understand and learn psych in a fun way. SMART-Goal is very easy as long as you really understand the material. Doesn't give homework and gives out tons of extra credit. She has candy in her office :)

Best teacher I've had at Wake Tech. Very caring and wants you to succeed. No big papers, easy quizzes every week, completion grade for hw, and amazing lectures. Makes course content relatable and easy to understand. The class is not hard and the exams are straight from class lectures, so don't skip class. Only two exams, midterm and final. Amazing!

Professor Norton is the best. I wanted to get my review up since I know people are registering for classes right now and need to pick their teachers. She makes the class still enjoyable and understandable, even with everything being online. She is super caring and motivating, gives you everything you need to stay on track.

Easy. Loved this class and Professor Norton! You won't regret taking her! She is so fun! We read a chapter, took an untimed, open book test, watched some Ted Talks and wrote a little discussion board each week. She wrote us lots of announcements and is just a sweet, charming, encouraging, person. She loved us and loves teaching. Highly recommend!

Took this fully online, asynchronous, and it was a pretty good experience. Weekly work is repetitive and quizzes were given unlimited time and open book. She offers a lot of ways to learn the material and I did not find it difficult as long as you keep up with the readings/power points. She is really kind and cares a lot about what she teaches.

One of the best teachers I've had! She really cares a lot about her students, and genuinely wants to help. She has a grace period for assignments, and you can miss 2 days of class and not get docked points. Go to her office hours too, she was helpful when I reached out for help! Open note final and midterm, so take good notes and you'll be fine. :)

Very enjoyable to listen to. She brings an eccentric teaching style to the classroom. A few group activities in class made the time go faster. The activities could be slightly odd, but they entertained the entire class. She has a few easy strict rules, like no side conversations when she is talking, but other than that, great professor!

Two day late period. Highly recommend talking with her over her smart goal, as it seems she has unusual request, even when outlining what she wanted. Final test not like the other test, it has long scenarios you have to read out while you have to look back over your notes (cumulative). She's very fun tho great personality! I hate psych now tho.

I took a hybrid course that met once a week. She provided the textbook online for free, and in-person classes were activity based. Each week there's a quiz with unlimited retakes and solutions shown. Each module there's an open-note test. No midterm, final was online open-note. The semester-long project is easy and she gives clear rubrics.

Watching Prof. Norton's lecture videos genuinely made me so happy because she loved the subject so much. Beware that PSY-150 requires a good amount of reading and note taking. It is not a "just attend and get an A" kind of class, but if you put in ~3 hours of effort per week, an A with Prof. Norton is easily achievable!
