Peach had an amazing personality! Extremely upbeat, and ready to go. I took her with methods 2 which I knew would be crazy intense but she made it bearable by giving us step by step instructions and all of her time and patience in order to help. She does give labs so you may better understand the many different kinds of studies available.

Class was very manageable, just keep an eye out on the due times. Follow examples! If you need clarification or help, ask for it! She is extremely personable and willing to help you as much as youll let her. I didnt find it to be any more demanding or stressful than a typical semester class. I HIGHLY recommend taking this class with Dr. Peach.

She's a great teacher, very clear in lectures and willing to help students/answer questions but she is soooo annoying in class. Talks with her hands, shakes her hair around a lot, and uses a lot of weird voices which is EXTREMELY distracting. There is no homework and the exams are straightforward if you study the notes, which she gives you.

Dr. Peach is a really great professor. She answer e-mails really fast and is fair about grading. You have daily clicker "pop" quizzes on the readings, but they are only 5 questions and she replaces one of the lowest ones. Can miss two classes without getting penalized. Overall pretty easy class, test are straight forward. Recommend her!!

I took her hybrid 1101 course. She taught about half of the time while other professors also filled in. The class is not very hard and if you study and do the work assigned you will do fine. She gives extra credit as well as drops your lowest exam grade. She is very upbeat and fun to listen to. Attendance is done with clicker questions.

Dr. Peach is pretty clear with what is on tests, which, if you take the hybrid class, are all online. The only thing I didn't like about her was she is kind of hard to approach, but that is expected in a class of 300 students. GO TO CLASS. If you do not do well on the clicker questions, you won't do well in the class.

This class has 3 online tests. One online test is dropped. The final exam is in-class. There are clicker questions in the lectures so you should attend class. I would say you should at least get a B in this class. Personally, I got a B in this class and I didn't even read the book really. I guess if I actually read each chapter, I will get an A.

Dr. Peach was an amazing teacher! Her lectures actually made sense and she gives out the notes prior to class so you can write on them. If you go to class everyday and pay attention you should easily make a B, but in order to make an A you just need to be able to apply the concepts(they're easy) so don't worry! Most respected teacher I've ever had!

Research Methods II is HARD. Do not let this be lost on you when planning your semester. Its the hardest class in the Psychology major. You write constantly and end up with a 25ish page paper at the end of the semester. But Dr. Peach is great.

I don't like how unempathetic she is, I feel like she could give some leniency. I ended with an 89.6 and she chose not to round up despite everything I was going through.

Dr. Peach was amazing for health psych. Seems like she is tough in 1101 to weed people out. She really knows what she is talking about though, and though her lectures are long, they are well-informed. Just use the study guide for the exams and you should be fine. If you do not watch lectures, you won't pass her exams. Easy HW assignments otherwise

Dr. Peach was a good professor, but the course material is heavy, and you have to read the textbook and look over key terms to be successful on the tests which are pretty hard.

Lectures are not super engaging but textbooks are strangely. Her lectures are almost never really related to what you're learning in terms of the textbook. I don't know if that makes sense. Homework is easy though.

Dr. Peach is tough but fair. She knows her stuff! Her lectures are very in depth, and you have to read the book to pass the tests. She does not accept any late work for any reason, and does not grant extensions or round up. I wouldn't say the class was very hard, but you have to work for it.

Dr. Peach is a great professor. Attendance is mandatory, but coming to class is enjoyable because of her engaging personality and the anecdotes she throws in. Lectures are clear, tests are fair if you use her practice resources, and homework is manageable. She's strict on deadlines but truly cares and stays after class to help anyone who needs it.

Non-traditional student here. This course is mainly self taught (Hybrid). You have to read the book, highlight and take notes to pass the exam. In class lecture is not what is on the exam. The videos she's posts are time wasting. If you read the textbook, study the content you will pass easily. I opted for the paperback edition of the book.

She's a nice person but her class is very hard. No matter how hard you study, you will not get an A on the tests. Maybe a B, but not an A. It's extremely hard to get an A in this class, so don't take it if your looking for and easy class/grade. I know about 10 people in the class and no one has above a B-. 3 tests, lots of homework, attendance.

Do not take Professor Peach. She requires attendance and uses poll everywhere. During lectures she covers the easy content. The tests are extremely difficult, you are not going to be prepared for the tests even if you study. You have to go to the psychology testing center to take the tests. Not worth it. She seems nice but it is all an act.

Lots of homework for an entry level course. The first two test averages were a 48 and a 54, and nobody got a A on the first test out of 200 people, and the second test had a highest of 90. That shouldn't happen no matter how much the tests are worth. She's nice but having test grades that low and being okay with that is ridiculous.

Professor Peach is nice and her lectures are engaging, however she covers almost no content during her lectures. Most of the content on the exams is learned from the textbook. You will have 5-8 learning curve assignments due weekly along with a packback that take very little time and are completion-based. Attendance is taken with poll ev.

There are at least 5 homework assignments due every week, this includes text book quizzes and discussion board submissions and comments. Her lectures barely cover the topics for the unit tests, so you will have to thoroughly read the textbook to be successful in the course. She offers no flexibility in late or missing work.

Finished the first test with tears in my eyes. I read the textbook chapters, recorded lectures, and study guides, and completed extra questions on the Learning Modules; however, I didn't recognize half of the test questions. I enjoy Peach as a professor, but the workload and difficulty of the class are insane for an 1101.

One of the easiest classes i've taken. Read the textbook + TAKE VOCAB NOTES. Most of the tests are vocab heavy and less "material" heavy. Doesn't go over much in the lectures so study at home—it's not that hard. Lowest grades dropped even lowest exam so no late work accepted. Averaged a B in exams, ending the semester with an A

Very textbook heavy. The class is set up for you to pass as long as you get everything done on time and make a bit of an effort to study vocab. Lowest test grade is dropped so skipping the final is an option. Peach is very nice and it's clear she's passionate about teaching. Would definitely take her again just in a different class format.

She is a very sweet woman and easy to talk to. In her lectures she only covers the bare minimum and you will learn most of the knowledge you need for the exams from the learning curves and the flashcards that the TA posts. She dose not know how to break the course material down for those who have no experience in Psychology.

She's very nice but doesn't know how to break down the lectures in an understandable way. You mainly learn from vocab words the TA posts and not the lectures or the learning curves. But if you do all the assignments and really study the vocab from the TA, you'll be okay. It's pretty easy to pass her class but lowkey I didn't learn anything lol.

The exams are crazy hard- the mean for every exam was around 50. Her lectures barely help and you don't learn much from the online work. I would avoid taking her class if you can.
