Fall 09. The text book was a great foundation. It was easy to read/follow. Attending class is important because she shows a lot of video & engages in a lot of activity that will help you remember the info. Gillian's very active in posting things on blackboard & is easy to approach. She wants her students to be successful. Great intro to PSYC! -KD

She has by far been my favorite professor. She is a little awkward, but in a cute sort of way. She is the sweetest teacher I have ever met. Her class is very easy, all you have to do is do the questions at the end of each chapter (only 15 question) & she bases the test off of those. And she grades in a very easy way. I also learned a lot from her.

Professor Patton was an extremely fair and nice teacher. Exams are written based on the text, a handwritten cheat sheet is allowed. Outside class participation on psychology related topics are required if you expect an A. I think any claims of awkwardness is due to lack of class participation.

I had Professor Patton during fall- 8 week..I am incredibly interested in psychology, and though her in-class lectures are not the most exciting thing ever, I still did learn quite a bit. Her weirdness gets a little getting use to, but at the end of the day she is completely herself and extremely helpful if you just ask. I would take her again.

This is by far the best online class I've taken. I learned so much over the course of 6 weeks. Her assignments are beneficial outside of class and it encourages you to do some self-reflection. The assignments are very clear, just make sure you stay caught up with the class to avoid falling behind on tasks. She truly wants her students to succeed.

Such a genuine and nice person. She will always help you and make you feel like you matter. Her lectures are quite lengthily and of slower pace but you have the opportunity to work ahead

She was very understanding and caring, and the work was relatively easy but not too easy at the same time. Just utilize your resources, talk to this professor and she will be there for you and help you out.

Was not my cup of tea as there is very limited structure to her lectures and teaching process. You are basically teaching yourself as you go along. Nothing is ever really clear as to what we are doing. She's very nice and super understanding for people who tend to be late with assignments so if thats what you're looking for have at it.

Professor Patton is super understanding and willing to help. The class can be disorganized, but unstuck study and the textbook make it manageable. Overall, a great professor who cares about student success.

The number one aspect of this class that helped me learn from my mistakes was her grading. Her responses were always so thoughtful and encouraging. It truly made me want to strive for a better grade. Normally, I wouldn't redo an assignment, but her explanations of what I did wrong made that difference. She is a great teacher, Professor Patton.

Professor Patton was a great instructor, she would always find a way to make the class interesting yet filled with lots of information. She always made herself available to all the students and made sure that we all understood the lesson and answered all the questions before and during assignments. I would love to have her as my professor again.

I was so worried for this class after reading reviews saying it was a difficult class no matter what professor you had. This class was SO much easier than I thought because of this professor. The pace of the semester is easy to get a hang of and I love that all of our papers were split in with each section due at a time so it wasn't overwhelming.

It was a breath of fresh air with her assignment reminders since I have a fulltime job and a full time athlete. I liked this online class's projects. I had a lot of fun working with my research paper group. The class was very intuitive. I'm on a busy travel schedule so having the flexibility of an online class is the only option.

Gillian Patton is a great professor for this course! There are times where the material seems a bit blurred, but her efforts to help and support her students outweigh that. She makes research methods easier to understand and makes it more of an enjoyable experience. I recommend taking her if you like group projects and a caring professor.

Amazing professor, I would definitely take her class again. She's very sweet and friendly from beginning of the semester to the end. Lectures were online, videos were clear, and she reviews at the start of class. Textbook is online and free. Quizzes are posted end of week and she allows retakes before deadline.
