Seemed willing to answer any questions. She's ok.
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's always very nice and understanding if you need help or extensions. A little on the quiet side during lectures, but keeps you interested by switching between powerpoint, videos, and group activities. She makes this subject very easy.
Great! She is so nice and easy to approach. If you take notes during the lecture then you should past her test. very easy and not stressful. She also shows alot of powerpoint so you can visually see what the lecture is about.
Miss Gillian Patton Makes the class interesting which enables us to understand the material; epecially for some of us that are old returning students. I hope all of my teachers are like her when I was back in the days. I would have attain my dream degree (Ph.D) by now. Miss Patton, has shown me that it is never too late to pursue my DREAM. Thanks.
She is extreamly nice and helpfull. testa are easy if you study. She is very nervious but a good teacher.
Lectures and power points follow closely to the book. Ms. Patton is a very nice instructor and is willing to help her students with any questions or needed clarifications. Tests are fair if you read the material and take advantage of using the "cheat sheet." Seriously, it's a gift to students!Fun class, great teacher. I'm going to miss you, Ms. P!
Very nice person, encouraging to students.
Professor Patton encouraged class discussion to reinforce material in lecture. If you pay attention and participate in the class activities you will get an 'A'. Overall she is good teacher.
She was a little awkward at first but she very nice and considerate. I loved the "cheat sheet" for all exams including the final. Best yet, the final only consisted of the last two chapters read. If your looking for an easy A, this is a great Professor to take psychology with.
Very sweet teacher. Loves class participation. Uses every aspect of the textbook. Can not answer any questions that are above and beyond the textbook. She is a good teacher for obtaining a GENERAL knowledge of this course.
i would HIGHLY recommend taking her :) she is a very sweet lady and helpful. It is important to attend class and you do use the book but she is very informative with lectures and lets you used a page of notes on the tests. REALLY good teacher! take her!
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.
Zero effort to get an A,a notebook page size cheatsheet AND she tells you exactly what will be on the test. Take it if you want an easy A but be warned, her class is boring (I love psych), she will ask you to repeat her instructions to exhaustion(extremely annoying, we're in college not 3rd grade) Very nervous,I feel like I'm intimidating her.
Very easy and helpful. A nice person to be around and interact with. All of her presentations keep you interested. Highly recommend her.
Excellent instructor, very easy going. She always smiles and chuckles. She grades on a curve, and tests are taken directly from the textbook and lecture. All you have to do is a handful of assignments and do well on the tests and you'll get a good grade. I'm still trying to figure out how she knew each student by name
Shes very sweet but her lectures can be boring. She lets you have a cheat sheet which is great! I would take her again
Teacher is very nice and helpful; a lot of notes, but she also includes class room activities. Test are easy, she lets you use a cheat sheet. Great class overall.
Very nice teacher and easy class.
will be a good teacher in the future,now...ahhh..not so good... she do not present your scantron after you take your exams,so you dont really know your true grade,she come to class prepare ,but,she really dont know her stuff inside out,good personality but,not so good teacher..
Very interesting class.. lots of class communication. I'd highly recommend this class and professor! I wish she instructed more psychology classes. Also a great math tutor!!
SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER! SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE STUDENTS. SHE NEVER ANSWERS ANY QUESTIONS AND DOESN'T TAKE THE TIME TO HELP THE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! YOU WILL REGRET IT
Great Teacher...Willing to help you if you have problems.Will give extra credit for side projects(movies and articles)she is very down-to earth person .You will like her class
Professor Patton is very nice and sweet but she treats her students like 5 year old kids. Her lectures arent very clear at all. The class itself is extremely easy just read the book and youll pass all the exams. You also get to use a cheat sheet for each exam.
Gillian is super sweet and helpful, she runs over an idea thoroughly and she always asks if you understand and makes sure she always gives room for you to ask questions. She tries to make class light and fun. She even lets you keep a full cheat sheet for tests. Light workload with movie/outings/article reviews and tests. Easy class glad I took it!!
very kind and very helpful! i was nervous about going to college but she makes it so easy and really wants to help her students learn. she is a great professor
Is an outstanding teacher. Explains very well, also is very organized with the lectures. Overall an outstanding professor.
she is an awesome professor.i received a b and I did study. She has a wonderful personality and I loved going to class.she offers extra credit too which was nice. You'll really like her class
Gillian is very sweet and I loved her class. She is extremely approachable and is willing to help you. Sometimes she makes you feel like you are 5 years old because she is so friendly and sweet, but I don't see that as a problem. Her class is also very easy. No papers to write just pass the tests which are multiple choice and you're set.
Very nice Teacher She is very funny. Lets you use a cheat sheet on the test so its pretty hard to fail her class.
She has a very nice and cheerful personality. Always positive and kind of funny also. She seemed to be a bit awkward though but other than that, all is well.
Patton is a really sweet person though she does look like she's a bit afraid of the class 90% of the time. Much better than Lopez, though and would absolutely recommend! She reads off of powerpoints, allows you to use cheat sheets, and the book can be found in the library so you don't need to buy it. All tests are taken DIRECTLY from the book!
She is very kind and willing to help. I enjoyed her class.
She's a nice person, but she is not that great of teacher. Her lectures are unclear, she never posts our grades online, she is awkward and shy. She has bad communication with the class. The class itself is easy. She does allow a cheat sheet so passing isn't that hard. I just don't recommend her as a teacher this time around.
I think she has a very friendly and "willing to help" streak in her" but the class was the same every week besides test days. I think she should mix it up a little to make it more interesting.
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 would definitely recommend Professor Patton.
as a person shes sweet and goofy but as a teacher, she could use improvement. i felt like i learned more from the book than the teacher. every day was the same routine. notes. which yeah this is college so its not all fun but i could of learned so much more if we did other things, like projects, or fun assignments. if you like notes take her class.
EXTREMELY boring class and she is super weird and lectures make you want to fall asleep. But you are allowed a cheat sheet which is kind of a waste of time cause you never know what will be on the tests. You will pass just by trying because she has a weird curved grading system. I wouldnt take this class again.
A very nice person, but not a very good tchr. Super awkward in front of the class. Not very clear or helpful. She allows a cheat sheet, but it really doesn't help. The questions on test never aligned w/what was taught. There's so much content that you cannot fit it all on the cheat sheet. Maybe w/another professor this class would have been easier.
I really enjoyed this class. Professor Patton is a genuine, compassionate person. She gives great notes and posts them on Blackboard. You get to use one cheat sheet. She is always willing to help you out. I would recommend her.
Class was boring, but she is very knowlegable on the topic. It was kind of hard to listen to her because she genuinely sounded nervous each class session. Other than that she is a good professor and makes it very easy to pass the class. Just keep up on her assignments and do the cheat sheets for the test.
She was a great professor! Took her for summer session and was worried the class would be hard. Not at all! Don't know why people are saying the cheat sheets didn't help. As for checking grades, just ask her after class... She's more than willing to help! Just use the book and attend class and ASK QUESTIONS. Pretty easy to get an A or a B.
Very nice teacher. Very helpful, the tests are straight from the book. I would take another class with her.
Good class. Professor was very nice and it was an interesting class, if you want to pass the class you have to read the book. I recommend this teacher.
easy going, just read the chapters NO HOMEWORK
Very open to anything the class has to say! Brings very positive vibes to class.
Just finished her Psych 101 class and I loved it. Grading criterion was clear. Yes, she's a bit nervous and maybe a bit awkward, but I personally found it very admirable of her to get over her fear and speak in front of the class. Her passion for psychology makes her a great teacher, and she genuinely cares for her students. 910
Professor Patton is a very precise professor. The lessons were well planned and executed, all topics were discussed to the students inquisitive satisfaction. She helped students prepare for exams and challenged students to use acquired knowledge in other environments. Going back to school after 10 years, this is class and professor I recommend.
Professor Patton is a goofy, awkward person with very little regard for clarity or decisiveness. She could not stand in front of the class without twirling her hair or using many nervous ticks. Be sure to know when the due dates are because apparently everything is due before class on the date and not at 11:59 pm like every other professor. Bad.
In this class you get the grade that you work for. Despite the fact that she looks nervous while teaching lecture she gets the information across well. She shows us video examples that are very relevant.
She was pretty nervous most of the time. Regardless of that, as a teacher, she was great. Her powerpoints were concise and very helpful. She gives you a piece of paper for a cheat sheet for every test. I thought that would be kinda easy, but it turns out when I write out the cheat sheet, I don't really need to look at it on the test. Sneaky. :)
Psychology of Gender is an amazing subject and I am glad I was able to take it with Ms Patton. I recommend her as an instructor. The textbook is completely optional. You can find it online or just take notes from her concise power points which she posts in Blackboard. You would have to try to fail to actually fail this class.
Despite her almost taking my test away for blowing my nose, she is a great teacher. Other psych professors I've had were hard to pass their tests but she is really there to help. I got a b on a hard test because her lectures are very thorough. Take her class! She's funny too!
Take her class! Sure, she's awkward but she is also very funny and helpful to her students. I can tell she really cares about her students! She is such a sweet and genuine person.
Honestly she is very thorough with her notes and everything in the notes is pretty much on the test. So she makes it able for her students to pass. She's one of the best teachers!
The first day you'll think that it's be an easy A, but her notes are unorganized. She plays way to many videos which could be dedicated to lecture/notes. She rarely finishes the chapter on time for us to know what we're doing for the quiz at the end of the week. She was never able to answer a question that a student had completely.
BEST PSYCH PROFESSOR EVER!!! (Raley and kandus are awesome too) but Gillian is a beautiful person inside and out! She is a very good teacher and will do anything to make sure her students are passing. She's pretty funny too!
She is so sweet, and funny. She explains well and wil answer any questions.
Gillian is an amazing teacher. it's not an easy a but its easy to pass with her help. she'll go over anything you need and will make sure you understand the material.
Gillian is a respectable teacher because she doesnt make it too easy and she doesn't make it too difficult. You work for it but it's not too difficult or stressful like most psych teachers curriculum. Gillian should be your first choice, you won't be disappointed.
At first I was super surprise by how simple it sounded. As the weeks went by though I realized that she rarely finished the chapter by the end of the week, and when any of the students asked a question 50% of the time she would give a generic answer that didn't make any more sense. Also, her awkwardness is REALLY distracting.
Read the course description for the class and then forget you read it. Class was very women sided and had nothing to do with men! Teacher was very awkward and the class was boring! I was on my phone most of the time. If you do the assignments, do the B Paper, do the research project and do the presentation you'll get probably the easiest A ever!
She explains the subject clearly and makes lectures interesting. Often, she does True or False questions at the start of class. Her tests' questions come directly out of the book. Often, we have deep discussions. She doesn't grade harshly. We only had to do one group project. No hw. I love her for her cheerfulness and spirit.
Entertaining, keeps students interested by allowing students to give their insight on topic matters. Some students talked way too much though and you could tell she wanted to move on, but was too nice to say something. Her grading criteria is very easy. If you don't get an A, you need to fix your study habits.
Such a sweet heart. One of my favorite professors at MSJC. Taken course for credit during Summer 2016 at Temecula Building. Gives a lot information. Power Points on each chapters. Barely used textbook but well needed to study for tests and quizzes. Must study to pass. Overall very organized and a great teacher. Will take again.:)
Gillian Patton is a great instructor. This subject is very subjective and is a science that can have many different viewpoints. It is an entry level class to give you a basic idea what phycology is and if its a career you will choose to pursue The class will require a good bit of reading and be able to write on what you have learned. You will have
Very easy class. There are only 3 packets due for the entire semester, one research project, a group project and then one response to a book of your choice. Overall, interesting subject, and not so much stress on the homework. She is very helpful and a really sweet person.
Very poor grader. Each assignment/project is only worth 1 point so at the end of the semester we had a total of 6 points in Blackboard therefore if you miss one assignment your grade drops by a whole letter. Wouldn't recommend her as a teacher, very boring, awkward and unclear with instructions. If you don't need this class for credit don't take it
She's very awkward and boring. Didn't really teach and treats her students like we're in elementary school. Its not worth taking the class even if its just for credit
This course was super easy. There are no tests. You are only graded on 5 things. Super easy A but the professor is awkward and doesn't make lectures interesting. If you actually want to learn, don't take this class. If you want an easy A and don't mind an awkward Professor this is for you.
Professor Patton is awesome! I'm so glad this class didn't have any exams since I have the worst test anxiety. She was always positive even though some of the things in class were bumming me out. I never knew gender identity could be somthing your born with until I learned about the Joan/Jon case in class. Take her!
We could choose our own topic as a group presentation as long as it related to gender. The grading system worked for me because I could check off everything that I did and know what grade I got.
Professor Gillian was so caring and everything is available on canvas and I could check the slides, handouts or my grade all the time. Canvas is so much better than Blackboard. One warning is don't look at the percentage grades. Its nice watching videos in class but some students have strong opinions during discussions. Which isn't her fault.
She is a great teacher, enjoy her class very much. She's very cheerful. Lets you have a cheet sheet.
Professor Gillian Patton is very good at what she teaches. She is funny and makes learning fun and interesting.
I found professor Patton to be a breath of fresh air. She was always positive, and had a kind word. If you are having a bad day she will make you smile. In a world so often filled with negativity, it was nice to know there would be 2 hours of positive thinking. She encourages participation even if there is disagreement as long as there is respect.
Prof. Patton is incredible and genuinely cares for her students. The enthusiasm for the subject truly helps the class stay interesting. She is very funny and promotes participation so speak up! To do well, get the textbook, take good notes on the chapters and do the quizzes at the end of each chapter!
She does seem giggly and nervous throughout the semester, which makes it a little awkward, but she's extremely smart and helpful. I would definitely recommend her as a professor. No homework for summer semester. We only had quizzes, exams, and a group project.
IF YOU HATE WRITING DON'T TAKE THIS AWKWARD PROFESSOR. She gives out so much homework. There are three chapter packets throughout the semester, one analyzing paper, a research project and a group project. No Exams, which i rather have. The chapter packets include 500 word papers per chapter AND EACH CHAPTER INCLUDE 30 PAGES EACH!
There's no tests, the only work is 500 words a chapter which instead of using the book you can just use her powerpoints and the report + group project for the final. Nice lady but she's so awkward she has major stage fright and talks to her class like they're kindergarteners. And some people never showed up as still passed so its a super easy A.
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.
Professor Patton was great! She is such a kind soul <3 I really enjoyed my time in her class! Is there homework? Yes. Is it hard? No! Just do all of your homework and you will pass. No test were given during this course. Final research project but it was easy peasy! If you get her please be nice, she is SOOOOO sweet!!!!!! <3
Good teacher, willing to help.
Really enjoyed her class! If I'm able I'll be taking all my Psych classes with her!
Super nice and smart! Very easy to learn from. -Jacob
Super sweet, very timely, and very clearly outlined schedule which shes great at following.
Great professor! Her lectures are enjoyable and fun to participate in discussions. Fascinating educational videos too! Gives a fair amount of extra credit so there is no way you cannot pass.
Professor Gillian is a great teacher. Her lectures are entertaining, and she is always willing to help students. She uses cheat sheets for her exams, just make sure you take the time to make a cheat sheet from the textbook and you should be golden.
I took this class because I know this is an Easy A. Chapter reviews are 500 words each and research paper is the same. Follow the prompt and you get full credit. 30% of Grade is based off attendance. So if you dont show up you will fail. Btw NO EXAMS
Ms. Patton is honestly one of the sweetest professors ever!! It's clear that she loves her subject and her positive outlook is so refreshing. Keep up with the readings and lectures and you'll do great.
Professor is very knowledgeable on the topic of gender but encourages using journal resources for the research paper. I thought the research paper was going to be difficult, but it actually wasn't. Also learned a lot from the group project too. It was nice meeting my group outside of class.
Very nice and soft spoken.
I took Gillian Patton in an 8 week course for Psychology. She's amazing. She is the sweetest professor that i have ever had. She makes the class fun and has a lot of activities to do during lecture and she wants all of her student to succeed. Her exams are a little hard but i aced all of them except one i got a b. Also the textbook is online!
Really enjoyed this class! Shes a very nice professor. You can use cheat sheets on your quizzes and the book is online. Pretty easy class if you keep up with your reading
The class could get super boring and long if you only take her once a week in a three hour period. I wouldn't suggest this with her but her knowledge was vast and her passion was very obvious.
You can easily get an A in this class if you work for it. Just do the reading and you'll breeze right through the test. She allows a cheat sheet for the exams and grades are curved so there's NO EXCUSE to not getting an A! Her personality can throw you off a bit but overall she is wonderful!
Professor Patton is the kindest and most helpful person. Shes a bit socially awkward but if you are patient you will absolutely pass. Study, she allows cheat sheets, you can literally put anything on them and be allowed to use, do homework & all quizzes & you will pass. Plus she drops 1 test. Always available during office hrs. & super helpful!
This was my favorite class and favorite teacher this semester! It was great just coming to school one day a week since I have to commute from far away. She was always willing to help with papers during office hours and she taught me to work smarter and not harder! She is the best teacher. Take her!
Professor Gillian is one of the kindest professors you can take. She cares about her class and always wants the students input when it comes to anything they want to try out or on something they believe is unnecessary. She will always be available during office hours and she constantly tries to smile and be respectful and kind to everyone.

This professor shows genuine concern for her students. The material covered in class is thoughtfully presented and while there is a lot to cover, she did so with ease. I would definitely recommend Professor Patton's courses.
Professor Gillian was my favorite teacher. She is such a sweet caring person and generally cares for her students. Her lectures were always interesting and she explains the concepts clearly
Professor Patton's nice, optimistic attitude always brightened everybody up. Every class would begin with a welcoming smile and asking about everybody's day. The material was easy to learn because of her helpful activities and interesting lectures and videos. The homework was manageable and the tests were fairly easy from studying lecture notes.
Professor Patton is an amazing professor. She is also a really sweet person who genuinely cares about the students and encourages the them to ask questions. She creates her own PowerPoint slides to make learning easy. Her tests are based on the book and she allows a cheat sheet for the tests, so as long as you study the book, you should get an A.
A very understanding professor. Took the summer class and even at an accelerated pace, the course was relatively easy A. The lectures can be a bit dry sometimes but she posts all of the lectures ahead of time on Canvas so it's easier to follow along & participate. There were only 4 assignments during the full course with a 300 minimum word count.
I took her summer class and it was honestly the easiest class I've ever taken. Just take notes on what she specifically tells you to (because she DOES tell you) and that's what will be on a test. She's super nice and understanding as well. Take her for an easy and enjoyable Psych 101 experience.
Professor Gillian knows the material. I took her class as a fast passed setting, and she's great, you can have cheat sheets on the exams. My class was near a 3 hour class and every hour she gives you a ten minute break to go to the restroom or do whatever. By far best professor is school isn't really your thing. WOULD 10/10 RECOMMEND!!!!!
This class was such a great class. She is very descriptive and easily understood. The PowerPoints are clear. Honestly, as long as you pay attention you will do just fine. I can gladly say I learned a lot from this class. Definitely a fantastic teacher to take.
She's a lovely accepting person and she goes slow enough for the information to sink in. Lots of short films and discussion that make it feel less awkward. Never judges and always finds a way to keep things relevant to the topic
Her grading is really strange, BUT it is to benefit you. It's basically really hard to fail the class. In the fast-paced class, her lectures would have to be continued into the next class session because her lectures were so slow. Her lectures aren't good, but she lets you know what's on the test and allows a cheat sheet (front & back). Recommend!
This semester Professor Patton was the only professor whose lectures actually captured my attention. Shes amazing at what she does and does her best so that you pass for example she lets you use cheat sheets. She doesnt accept late work so you cant be lazy in this class. I strongly recommend her!
I took a hybrid psychology 101 class with Professor Patton, She was amazing by far one of the best professor I have had so far. She gives hints on the board of whats gonna be on the exam. Her outside participation options are very interesting. Professor Patton lectures are very insightful and worth going to class for. Workload is light.
lots of notes
One of the best professors Ive had yet. I would take her for any psychology class she is literally the best. She writes on the board exactly what will be on the exams, and allows you a study guide during the exams. The way she grades is confusing but it benefits you. I definitely recommend taking her!
Professor Patton is one of the best professors out there. She lectures a lot but don't let that scare you, she gives great examples and actually writes on the board what is going to be on the exam. She lets you bring a cheat sheet for the exam that helps a lot! I wasn't really interested in psychology until I took her class. Im very interested now!
Patton was the best professor ive ever had. She is so sweet and has a quirky personality. If you do all the assignments and pay attention during lecture, you can pass with an A easily. Be sure to pay attention to what she writes on the board during lectures. One cheat sheet is allowed per test! Overall amazing professor. 10/10 would take again <3
Her psychology class might be easy but don't take it for granted. You can learn a lot from her lectures and she cares about you succeeding in her class. I recommend participating and attend your classes regularly.
She is one of the most caring professors I have ever had. Her lectures are amazing. She shows short films to help us get a clearer concept of what she is teaching. Participation counts toward your grade. Assignments are easy. She lets you use cheat sheets for exams. She is always happy to see her students!
She gives the choice of attending zoom calls but not mandatory. The homework is easy usually video questions or something along that line and doesnt give tons of it. There werent any long papers due which was also a win if you ask me.
Good class to take. She was very kind and helpful. Not too much homework given but you do have to read your assignments/chapters in order to understand the concepts. If you don't read you will be lost with the quizzes and chapter test. Overall it was an enjoyable class.
Absolutely loved this class and Professor Patton!
Patton is a great professor if you can take her do not question it! She is very detailed and if you are confused she answers all your questions in a timely manner. Exams are critical thinking but she lets you use a cheat sheet. Reading is recommended to better understand concepts but she also provides videos.
Shes amazing, gives clear grading criteria, if you dont study or watch her lectures you wont pass
Professor Pattons class was effortless. Make sure you do the work and youll get an A. I really enjoyed this course, she cares for her students and wants them to get an A. I took it during the summer semester(6 week course) would definitely take it again. I recommend taking the online course. Very easy!
Gillian is the nicest person I have ever dealt with. She was very helpful with allowing me into my online class late and helped me get caught up with the rest of the class. She is very fair in her grading and is more than willing to help with any questions you may have. I would absolutely recommend taking her class.
I enjoyed taking Professor Patton's class. Everything was organized and you knew what to do. She posted lectures along with some fun assignments. Overall a pretty easy class with a really nice professor, would take her again.
This is class is really easy. I had her for a short term 8 week course and she is really cool. She provides video study guides for test allows you to have one cheat sheet and is an easy grader. You show up do the work and participate you will get an A and pass her class. Would take her again!
This class was very easy. she is very sweet and not a tough grader. You just got to do all the assignments and you are sure to get an A.
Incredibly clear with her teaching. Curriculum, grading and even due dates are super clear. Provides an incredible amount of tutorials, walk throughs and resources for every single assignment. Patton is also super accessible, replying to every email or comment within 24 hours. Class has an average amount of work and is do-able! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
Shes so sweet and will help you if ur struggling but I doubt youd need help her class is an easy A. Shes assessable outside of class, highly recommend.
Professor Patton is great! She is always willing to help and provide feedback! I would defiantly take her again! Psych 124 did have a lot of assignments and 2 papers, but if you do the weekly modules you should get an A. The only thing I would say is the structure of each module was confusing at times.
Pro. Patton is fantastic & fun! If you are truly into Psych. take her class. The syllabus is easy to follow. You take chapter notes & turn those in wkly, instead of tests. After 4 chapters there is a small 10 question quiz. Mid-Term is a mini paper & Final is also a paper. She walks you through all of it. She's always there to help & accessible.
Respectful and helps her students.
Professor Patton is pretty awesome. I took her 8 week course and as expected, the workload is tough but she grades on completion. Outside participation is required, and the textbook is free. Definitely get ready to read, lots of textbook material on the test. I havent finished the class yet but I need to take one more test and I have an A.
This was my first experience with online learning and Pressor Patton is caring, patient and you can tell she cares about the material she is teaching, 1000 percent would take again!!
Professor Patton is caring, and you can tell she really enjoys teaching this topic. If you participate and put forth effort you will do just fine.
Professor Patton is both a challenging teacher and a caring teacher. I learned so much in her class and would definitely recommend her to any future students.
This was a great class. There is a lot of ready involved because you need to understand the concepts that she is presenting. All her materials are self-explanatory. She is always available to answer questions. Great professor. This is the second class that I have taken with her. Loved it.
Professor Patton was very nice and understands that her students have lives outside of the classroom. Make sure that you have access to the textbook because the quizzes contain a of material from there. Do not be too worried about the quizzes because they you can retake them.
Professor Patton is one of the kindest and sweetest professors I have had. She is so incredibly understanding and kind. I enjoyed and learned so much from this course, I can't believe it went by so fast. She is always accessible outside of office hours, gives clear instructions for assignments, and grades fairly. I, 100%, recommend her! :,)
Patton is AMAZING!!! I took her short-term class & did very well. The workload is manageable & easy to follow. You have plenty of notice on assignments, they are easy to follow & straightforward. There is 1 group project & it is simple. I learned a great deal from her & the course was a lot of fun. I would gladly take any class that she teaches.
AWESOME professor! I cannot praise Professor Patton enough. She is so kind and happy all the time. The quizzes, exams, and assignments were all super easy and really interesting. I actually enjoyed her class, and that's coming from someone who doesn't like school. You can't go wrong with Patton. Easy A and you learn a lot!
Professor Patton is very nice. As long as you read the book, you will be fine.
After reading her previous reviews and multiple people telling me to take her. I just had to for psychology 101. Im glad that I did. Shes very respectful and kind to her students. Responds quickly. Share videos on how to do assignments. Just follow the directions clearly, do all the work and you will passed. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this class! She did an amazing job teaching the lecture work and made participating very easy because of the great atmosphere of the class. Would definitely recommend!
Professor Gillian is very clear on grading criteria. Highly recommend her class!
Took her class online so may be the reason it took me time to figure out the modules and assignments as they are all unit numbers or named "draft".Do not be afraid to message her. She will guide you through how-to videos if you need help. group work can be difficult to manage. def learned A LOT & didn't expect anything less from a research class
Professor Patton is great! easy online class, few homework assignments, and tests are not that hard!! i would take a class with her again
This professor is amazing! She's extremely helpful and understanding. assignments were pretty easy, very doable. Exams are pretty easy also as long as you pay attention on the study guide videos. Also what I loved about this class, is that she allowed a cheat sheet for every exam which was sooo helpful. 10/10 recommend her and her class!!
Easily one of the best professors I've had! She truly cares about her work and all her students and is very willing to help. Considering I took a 6-week course, the work was quite easy and manageable but I still learned a lot. Read the PowerPoints and watch her study guide videos and yuoll do just fine. I highly recommend taking her courses
This professor is wonderful and very encouraging to students I am very glad I took her class be aware there is a lot of reading to do,the textbook has a free online version as well.The professor is very caring so do not hesitate to seek help from them. The class I took was 6 weeks long so that may have affected the difficulty.
She is very sweet, and super supportive of all her students. She is also, very flexible and understanding when it comes to work in class. She is a generous grader that focuses more on if you try and participate, than technicalities. As long as you show an understanding for the material, and show up, you will grade high in this class.
She is a really kind professor. She does grade fairly. My only complaint is that her modules/assignments are kinda all over the place so it's easy to miss work. She is generally an easy grader and she seems to care for her students.
Professor Patton is the best teacher ever! She is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She is so caring and kind. She truly wants the best for her students and will do everything in her power to help you if you need it. The subject isn't super exciting but she tries her best to make it fun. I definitely recommend Professor Patton!!
Professor Patton is kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend taking her for Psych 124. Research Method is a tough class to take as it deals with statistics and writing APA research papers but she make it reading and helps you through it. She is also very sweet, I loved having her as a Professor.
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
Gillian Patton is a very sweet professor. Her class was simple and assignments were easy and clearly explained. Nothing but good things to say about her, she's great!
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.
One of the best professors I have taken. She is sooooooo understanding and works with you. She made this class much easier and we actually enjoyed this difficult class.
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.
This class was a very interesting class and Prof Patton was very sweet. She always encourages discussion and you can tell she loves what she teaches. Not to mention that she is a pretty easy grader and gives positive feedback.
Unclear grading criteria, confusing assignments
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.
Definitely Recommend, So understanding and truely caring, she wants everyone to pass and be well. Her lectures arent too long and weekly quizzes are not long and allow retakes for a good grade. She is always checking in and make sure your all doing well.
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.
Ms Patton was interactive with students, positive attitude, and very helpful understanding the material. She is kind and a great professor.
