Professor Heather took the time to ensure everyone understood the material before advancing. She also values feedback from students about quizzes and tests. She answers emails within 15 minutes of them being sent with full explanations of the answer. She also puts all lectures up online so you can be ready for class.
Super fun and she makes the really hard stuff understandable, but not a slack off class! You do need to do work and pay attention! She will subtly leave hints to extra credit and test questions you just have to be listening
Good teacher, uses powerpoint to go over information which are posted on blackboard. Tests can be tough but if you pay attention in class they will be easy. I would definitely recommend this teacher.
She is always looking for ways to help you, and is genuinely concerned about your grade and how to help you pass the class.
Professor Bliss makes the material easy for everyone to understand. She puts her powerpoint up on Blackboard so you have more material to study with for the test. If you do not understand something, she will go over it during class or during office hours more in depth.
Professor Bliss is a good teacher and make the difficult content of psychology more understandbale.
Professor Bliss is a very good professor even though it's her first semester teaching. She not only is understanding of any issues that may come up, but she also is willing to help resolve the problems.
Heather Bliss is awesome!! She relates things in her lectures to outside stpries so the concepts are easier to understand. She also gives lots of extra credit and warns you about certain things on her tests. I would definitely take her again.
Good teacher who cares about her student's success.
Professor Bliss is a great teacher that helps students understand and learn more difficult content easier.
She is a great teacher. Very laid back. Always answers emails or texts. Lots of extra credit
she is awesome take her
Lectures easy to follow, attendance not mandatory but helpful, tests get easier through semester
Really good teacher. Makes it known that she is available over email at almost all hours of the day. Lectures are on blackboard. She tells you what to prepare for on the test and. Quizzes are not too difficult but take some critical thinking. Take her!
While this class is fun, be sure to pay attention and take notes! The first exam is without a doubt the hardest, but the rest get easier from there. Her office hour meetings are also very helpful and I would highly reccommend scheduling a time with her. She's also very relatable and wants you to excel in school!
Great teacher
This was her first class to teach ever so I understand she is likely to learn and get better with time. Lectures have the potential to be good, she goes quickly through things and I feel as if she doesn't prepare for the test. Tests are a lot of critical thinking and that is tough. She is, however, caring and wants us to do our best.
Great teacher. Lectures are not boring
Professor Bliss is a great psychology teacher. At first, I was a bit scared and intimidated because she did not try and make the class seem easy. But, If you make sure and go to class, pay attention, and put in study hours outside of the class you will pass with an A. She is also very fair and willing to take time to make sure you understand. DO IT
She is so sweet and so helpful! She will respond to you as soon as you email you. She will answer all your questions and will never be condescending. She understands if you have personal problems come up and her personality makes the class enjoyable. She wants everyone to do well so she will do what she can, as long as you do. Take her class!!!!
Although the first test is the hardest one, it doesn't mean that you should give up after that. If you come to class and review the PowerPoints, it is not that hard to make an A. She gives a lot of helpful info to those who actually come to class, so I highly suggest that you go (it will make the class a lot easier). Her lectures are entertaining.
She is a very funny professor who is very good at communicating what she wants you to learn in class. She gives good exam reviews. I would highly recommend her.
Love her, she's awesome. Jealous of her fiance.
The tests are hard but she's cool
Great professor. Offers a lot of extra credit and all lectures are accessible online. If you miss class she is understanding. Study for tests then you will do fine as she gives you a review of exactly what is on the test. The course in general requires studying, but she definitely makes the course much easier than other professors.
This is my favorite class and my absolute favorite teacher. She begs us to come visit her outside of class. She really wants you to do well and makes sure that you know that. The lectures are interesting and not hard to follow. She gives examples of everything to help you understand. There are always extra credit options. Definitely take this class
She is a cool teacher, helps out as much as she can, and is hilarious.
Heather Bliss is an awesome teacher and I highly recommend her!
The class is awesome, but she tends to teach fast. All the slides are posted though so you could get away with really not listening at all.
This is me being more specific because its required. She's good.
great teacher. really knows what she's talking about and is engaged with the class instead of having a monotonous tone every lecture. makes jokes a lot so just laugh even if they aren't funny. i would highly recommend taking the class even if you aren't interested in psychology that much. There's a lot of information so be prepared but its worth it
She's freaking awesome and can really help out if you aren't doing good and has great stories.
I really enjoyed the class and Heather's willingness to help all students and see us succeed. She is always helpful with reviewing for tests and answering any questions. Every test is very accessible and extra credit is offered regularly.
Great teacher. Difficult material but helps better understand material. Fun class. Makes material interesting and easy to learn.
She's great! Goes really in depth into lectures and gives great analogies for the material. I would definitely take her again! AMAZING!!
Great attitude in class. Very helpful and kind. Responds well and very quickly to e-mails and text messages.
Awesome.
Solid teacher tough but fair
Challenging but determined to make students succeed
She makes understanding the lessons extremely easy. She makes (sometimes) funny jokes, and one of my best professors. I would extremely recommend anyone taking this course to choose her as their professor.
Pretty easy class if you just study a lot the night before the test. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Great teacher.
Great professor! This is my first time taking a psychology class with Ms. Bliss it is awesome! She has very informative lectures mixed in with a great sense of humor! In order to well in the class you need to come to lecture and should read the book. If you want to get a high grade you need to read the book too. Take Ms. Bliss! You won't regret it!
I really enjoyed this class. Slides are available online and are really helpful for the online quizzes.
She is a good teacher that makes you work for it. If you pay attention in class and put forth a bit of effort outside of class you should be fine.
Very good at explaining the material.
She's a pretty good teacher, and she's really good with answering any questions you may have on the material. All of the learned information comes directly from the textbook, so you actually have to read it. The tests are pretty straightforward, but they do have some critical thinking questions (they're not hard though).
She is a good teacher that makes you work for it. If you pay attention in class and put forth a bit of effort outside of class you should be fine. You should also read the book. That would help.
Class is enjoyable. Professor makes jokes and helps you understand the material.
She's really funny and cool. The class itself is a lot of information to know and learn, but she is helpful with remembering through funny stories or analogies. Also, she tells you straight forward what's going to be on the exams and quizzes and provides enough review for you to pass.
She makes the material really easy to understand by telling a lot of personal stories which I personally find very funny. She is very considerate because she is a graduate student and totally understands what we're going through as college students. She gives a lot of quizzes but they help you learn the material instead of cramming for the exam.
Professor Bliss does a great job of covering the material and gives you many resources to help you pass this class. She truly enjoys what she does. She talks a little fast sometimes,but she will catch herself. Also, if she likes your class you will get funny stories. I definitely recommend her. (Laugh at her jokes)
The material is really long, but easy to learn. Heather Bliss is a really good teacher who makes the classes really interesting and hilarious. She is also very understanging with students and gives you options to earn extra credit
She is honest, and gives students enough materials which covers the textbook and exam.
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TAKE HER CLASS!!! I love her class so so so much!!!!! She is hilarious and explains things to where you can understand it. She makes sure that she goes along with the book and gives her own examples. The most fun I've had in a lecture class. She slays!!!! If you plan to take psychology GET HER!!! I promise you wont regret it.
She's really funny, and cares about the grades of her students- she offers a lot of extra credit opportunities, but they still make you work for the credit. Due to the heavy amount of material, her lectures go by very quickly and she speaks very fast, but she posts the powerpoints online. Come to class for material she may not post online!!
Really smart and passionate teacher. Teaches at a fast but smooth pace thats easy to understand. Never gets boring and is easy pay attention to. I highly recommend this class for those who have a interest in the material because I can't imagine someone teaching it in a fun and interesting way.
She tells good stories about her life. It helps to remember the definitions better.
Heather Bliss is a great professor who gives great examples for her topics. Tests will be hard, something you definitely need to study for. Extra credit comes easy with a little extra effort. I would totally select her as you professor if you have the option to, she makes coming to class pretty easy.
Obvious first year teacher. In-classs examples of the material were odd. It seems like she teaches the way she understands and relates to the material versus how it should be taught. Tries to give "relatable" examples to the class, but it just comes off very awkward and odd. Great effort, but her teaching methods just do not click with me.
She genuinely cares about students learning the material rather than remembering for an exam. The exams are tough but have gotten easier. The quizzes help to study for the exam. Learn how to think critically instead of remembering terms because she doesn't care what you know she cares how you apply it. This is my favorite class of all time!
Ms. Bliss is a great Psychology professor. If I was able to take Psychology 201 again, I would love to take Ms. Bliss again.
Lots of critical thinking! if you study you'll be fine!
Really good teacher, you have to be able to pay attention or you will not pass at all.
Heather Bliss is easily my favorite instructor ever. She's very funny and helpful. She obviously knows what she's talking about, and I have thoroughly enjoyed her class.
The lectures are just her reading the powerpoints that we already have
Great teacher, she really care about you and your grade, be sure to come to class and study. You will enjoy her and the class.
She's a good psychology teacher
Super,Super,Super awesome teacher! Her slides are not to boring and they are very easy to understand! Heather is very easy to reach. I love this psychology class and I would most def recommend students to chose her!
I enjoyed attending Heather Bliss's class. She was very intimidating at first, but she cares about you succeeding and is willing to work with you to achieve that. She is young and cool and understands the college process. Her tests are hard, but she prepares you for them.
Tests are hard but she does her best to try to help us out with review days. GO TO REVIEW DAYS!! Leave lots of time to study for this class. Lots of info is crammed into each test.
Heather is one of the most passionate teachers i've had this semester. She cares about our success and went above and beyond for us; however, we still had to work for our grades. Extremely fair and reasonable teacher.
Very good Professor who really cares about her class. Not very easy class, put in the work to get the grade.
She is very helpful with anything you do. She emails back extremely quick. All her exams are based on the lecture slides. As long as you read the lecture slides and understand the quizzes you will do fine in her class. Awesome teacher.
She makes class interesting. Always has examples and comes prepared
She is a good teacher with great analogies!
Young super cool professor. Very laid back lecture class because the notes are posted online, so you can just sit and do what you want as long as you aren't disturbing the class. Quizzes are very easy. Tests are somewhat easy if you just take the quizzes and skim over PowerPoint notes once.
If you want to pass Psychology at Ole Miss you will take Heather. She is easy to get a hold of and wants every to do well. She understands that this is a class that many students take! First test is hardest and gets easy from there. If you have any sort of work ethic you should pass this class with a High B or A. Plenty of extra credit
overall pretty good and she's cool. highly recommended.
last year i failed to write a review for Heather. I wish I did. I went to her privately with a personal problem and she actually walked me to the counseling center and let me know I was not alone. I never thought i would have a teacher be so caring. i was like a stranger to her. more prof. should be like her. I miss her
Great teacher. I feel that she really cares about the class. Really helps with studying for the test due to the review slides.
Gives really good review before the test. Is nice and wants to help you and see you pass
Fairly easy class. Lectures are interesting. She gives test reviews that lets you know what to expect on the test. She provides a lot of resources to help study for her tests
The tests can be difficult, but if you go to class, the review sessions, and read the main points in the text you will easily pass with a good grade. Lots of extra credit opportunities are given.
take her for this class! easy A and she gives you so much opportunity! She truly cares for the class and their individual grades. always available to help
She's awesome and really cares about her students. Curves tests if needed and even let us have a cheat sheet for one.
She does a really good job lecturing and keeping attention. She truly explains why her grades work the way they do. She also is easy to help you if you need it.
She really is an amazing professor. I felt like she honestly cared about my education rather than just her job. I would love to have her as a professor again.
Pretty laid back. Tests can be challenging if you don't study
Great Professor
When I tell you that there is no other PSY201 professor you need to take... I'm serious. There is no possible way that you can fail this class if you do the work... you'll get an A. She gives you soo many resources to be successful. I even thought about changing my major to PSY because of her! SHES AMAZING! TAKE HER!
This was the one class I looked forward to every day! Miss Bliss makes the class so much more interesting than it already is. She incorporates memes into her lectures, so that's a huge plus. Even though attendance is not mandatory, it stilll helps to go to her lectures. The tests are a little hard, but if you go to class and study, you'll do fine.
Heather Bliss does a fantastic job of relating all of the terms we learn to real life. This helps us, the students, understand the material better, and this helps us develop the ability to apply the terms to different situations.
Gives great opportunities for extra credit, don't waste it! Go to class and you will do fine.
She gives you plenty of opportunities for extra credit. She also gives you plenty of tools to help you study for the tests along the way. You do have to put in the effort if you want an A in the class, but it's not overwhelming if you keep up with the material along the way.
Teaches extremely fast in class, but gives very good reviews for tests. Will reply to your email within 5 minutes. Opportunities for extra credit.
She is really good with her classes. SOOOO many extra credit opportunities and access to different help systems (study guides).
Great professor. Super easy class. First test is definitely not as hard as people say it is. Studied for 10-15 minutes the day before the tests and have an A in the class. The professor really cares about her students and gives so much extra credit.
She is a great teacher, she will make sure you learn the material, offers a lot of extra credit. The only downside is her test are HARD
Interesting class and she is funny and gives random extra credit.
Tests are challenging if you dont study
She is very nice and accommodating, she gets it. She always answers emails right away and tries to make class interesting.
She is a awesome teacher! She will help you if you have trouble.
Great professor. Super funny. Lectures are very helpful. She gives study guides which sometimes have the exact answers to the test.
She is a genuine person. She responds to emails lightning fast and has a good sense of humor. I really did not like the class at first, but I appreciate the subject now. I also am not doing as well as I would like in the class, but my grade does not reflect what I have learned because I have learned so much more. Bliss is highly recommended
She's a really good teacher, and she has really wonderful analogies to help you understand what she is talking about. It is also a comfortable class to be in because it seems like a student is teacher us rather then an actual professor.
The test are hard.
I get a good understanding of each lecture. There a some pop quizzes but nothing that I wouldn't be prepared for. Related course material to students everyday life to give better explanation.
She is pretty understanding of outside situations. She send audio recording and copies of the notes if you have an excused absence in the class. Nobody can claim that she is dry.
she's cool
Awesome teacher
Very good teacher, willing to help, doesn't put up with laziness, gives clear understanding of material, tests were still very difficult for me
Ms. Bliss is a great teacher! She gives so many oppurtunities to succeed in her class. I wish there were more teachers like her here at Ole Miss!
Very helpful. Hard test but she helps you out
Heather is a great professor. She is willing to help you in the class if you need help.
Really good teacher and she will help you out if needed.
Made class really interesting.
Awesome class and will help you outside of class.
Awesome lectures! Powerpoints and test reviews were ALWAYS given!
Makes the class very manageable with other classes! Awesome professor!
She's a tough teacher at first but get to know her and let her know your face and you'll become best friends. Literally the best teacher ever. She gives you everything you need to succeed.
Ms. Bliss makes the lectures much more interesting and fun than they could be, and she does a lot of extra work outside of class to help students do well. She gives a lot of extra materials online that help you learn the material and she responds to emails within an hour of sending them.
Great professor and class. It is relatively easy, but the lectures cover a lot of information. If you take notes, it's difficult to keep up.
Dr. Bliss is the bomb. I wish all of my teachers had her mindset. She cares for her students and wants them to excel.
She is awesome. Take her without a doubt. I would highly suggest her because she is funny and genuinely cares about her students. I have loved having her as my teacher. I skip almost every friday and I still have an A in the class.
I know Instructor Bliss can come off quite strong, but she really cares for her students. She will do anything for the class and any individual if you speak with her and ask for guidance. Great teacher and cool class
Awesome Awesome teacher. She really wants you to do great. Go to class, take notes, and you will be fine. She is also great at responding to emails super fast and giving you real life example if you don't understand. I think she has been my favorite teacher so far. She is young and easy to relate to. TAKE HER CLASS :)
She's a good lecturer and keeps class interesting. Good teacher, would highly recommend.
Heather is a really good teacher, you want to take her. She really cares about everyone passing and getting a good grade.
One of the best professors I've taken. She doesn't make the class easy, she makes it interesting. However, it is a lot of information to intake so take notes and ask questions. She's willing to help in any way possible. She will find numerous ways to help you understand a concept. She also tells real life stories to help you remember things.
The best professor I've ever taken. Heather is always willing to help if you have any questions about the material and she's hilarious. She gives real life examples and stories to go along with her lectures. She doesn't make the class easy, but she does a great job of teaching the material. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities too!
Heather is great, she always answers emails within 5-10min and will always help you!
10/10 recommend Heather Bliss for Psychology 201. She is super accessible outside or class and actually cares about her students.
SHES THE BEST LIKE WOW
Solid professor. Can recommend taking her.
Shes so funny and I really enjoy listening to her lectures
She is good but be prepared to work.
Class is not super difficult. Tests are difficult but professor teaches in a good way. Hilarious and funny
She is seriously the best professor I have ever had. She cares so much and puts in the effort that a professor should
Heather is one of the best professors I've ever had. She always responds to emails and will help you anytime you need it.
She is very well respected. She doesn't take any bull crap. She is a great teacher, will help you in any way that she can. Definitely not an "easy A" but for sure possible if you put in a little effort. I love her. If you have a problem with cussing or aggressive personalities, don't take her, but my class thinks she rocks.
She wants her students to be successful and pass.
She is very passionate about the subject and super entertaining!! Class is hard but worth the challenge
She has a large Biology basis. If youre not a science major dont worry, but if you are it makes it a lot easier.
Great course to take. Very biology based. She is very to the point and easy to talk to.
She is really good about making things clear. She is very available via twitter, email, and office hours. She is also a very good teacher and gives very good slides.
She is a really good teacher and she is hilarious
Tough class but if you are struggling she is willing to help. Great teacher and she shows she cares if you show her you care.
Be open minded when you enroll in class. Psychology itself talks about a lot of controversial things.
Heather is the best teacher I've ever had. Not lying. She explains everything and makes sure you understand. She is almost always accessible outside of class. She gives a very fair amount of extra credit. And to top it all off, she is very very funny.
She's pretty cool. She's not as mean as she makes herself out to be on the first day. Super chill. A sense of humor. 8/10
she gives good examples in lectures and is very flexible
Honestly she is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Her class is hard but I have learned so much and grown such a liking to this subject because of her. Shes helped me so much and she loves the subject so much and it shows. I wish she could be my teacher for all four years. I really appreciate and respect her for that.
good teacher.
One of the best professors I've had. She is amazing and really knows what shes talking about. She cares about the students and tries hard to make real-world connections to the material so you can understand it. Also lots of opportunities for extra credit so as long as you try, you can make a good grade.
I really enjoyed this class.
She wants her students to learn. The best part about taking her class is knowing that she doesn't want to make your life harder, and she cares about what is going on with her students. Her tests are tough, but the class is so interesting, it's easy to pay attention. I learned a lot in class, and just read over the slides before the test.
Miss Bliss is by far my favorite professor that I had this semester. She is always very helpful and answers all questions in a very timely manor. Her class is a hard one, but if you try and put forth an effort there will be a good outcome.
Shes super awesome and chill! She has a lot of passion for this subject which made me care about it too. Very willing to help you out but does not get stepped on. I would take her again!
I love heather!!
Heather Bliss is a great teacher
Nothing.
Awesome professor, willing to help students at all time. Just show her that youre willing to work for your grade.
She rocks. Gives lots of extra credit because tests are very hard, but she is awesome and helps you out if you need help.
Great teacher and really gives the student the opportunity to get a good grade.
she rocks
Bliss cares about her students. If you show her that you are trying for her course, she will try to make sure that you get the grade you deserve.
Make sure you get the SONA stuff done as soon as you can. Talks pretty fast, so would recommend just adding notes on powerpoint rather than taking actual paper notes. Homework and online quiz every week. Also it's based on overall points.
Heather is a great teacher. She explained things very well.
Loved this class
She loves teaching and her students
By far my favorite teacher I've had at the university. Very challenging, but cares for her students and actually cares that they learn. It's hard to find someone like this in general, especially a teacher!!
Throughout the semester, I came to Ms. Bliss multiple time discussing my grade in her class, she strived me to push forward and do better in her class. She always made me laugh and I always felt as if I could go to her if I ever needed help with anything. I would 100% recommend this class... she's really not mean!!!! :)
Heather was an amazing instructor. Class was almost never boring, and I really appreciated how she cared for us academically and personally. 15/10 would take again.
Shes a great teacher and her class is pretty interesting. She shares a lot of personal stories that are hilarious yet still relate to the content.
The only complaint I have against her was that she moves pretty fast through material. But if you go to class, do the assignments (not hard or long), and study for her exams, you will get an A or at least a high B.
While Miss Bliss is a strict professor and her quizzes are not simple, she knows a lot about what she is teaching, funny and gives a lot of extra credit that can help balance out the student's grade.
Awesome lady, I think that the class is difficult but doable. It requires you to actually pay attention though. This isn't highschool psych where you can just half-pay attention. You are required know how to apply what she teaches to real world situations for the test.
If you want your Psy201 class to be interesting, take Heather! She really wants each student to succeed, gives a ton of extra credit, and makes learning fun, especially through her sense of humor. She won't bs you and everything you learn is relevant. Just make sure you go to class and study!
She's a good professor and helps you if you want to be helped.
She's very engaged with her students which makes a much more enjoyable atmosphere for learning. She is very approachable and fun to talk to which makes having questions or being confused not a stress as she always helps out. The class is by no means "easy"; you just have to show up, be attentive, and put forth the effort
Always willing to help you pass, easy A, never wants you to have a bad grade in the class, Always shows what is going to be on the test, Makes sure you enjoy her lectures!
Bliss scares you early to weed out those who aren't ready to work, BUT, once you get past that you really have one of the best psych professors. She makes lectures interesting and takes time to give examples so you understand the material. The most important thing is that you put in the effort to pay attention because her tests are application.
She tries to scare you off in the beginning, but this is only to keep those who are prepared to put in work. She gives real-world applications to everything discussed, which makes it easy to learn. Bliss is also very easy to talk to and gives a ton of extra credit.
very passionate about what she is teaching, does everything to help you pass
I highly recommend this class because she makes the content of lectures very relatable and understanding. She isn't boring like regular teachers and gives us ample opportunities for extra credit(a whole letter grade). If you put in the effort, she will work with you. She uses social media to keep in touch, which makes it easier to keep informed.
Heather is always easily accessible outside of class. she wants her students to do well in this course and its very obvious she cares a lot about this subject.
Good teacher, really cares about her students and getting them a good grade. Have to go to class. Keeps lecture entertaining and easy to pay attention to.
Professor Bliss is very thorough in her teaching and grading, her tests and extra credit are relevant to the material in class, and she is a very entertaining professor to listen to.
Bliss is my favorite teacher on this campus. She genuinely cares about her students and will go out of her way to make sure they understand the material. She's also really funny and gives a ton of extra credit. The material came easy to me so I did not have to spend much time preparing for class and exams. If you get the chance TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
The best professor Ive ever had honestly
Loved her class, she used many stories to keep the information interesting. I also liked how she incorporated more of the biology aspect of psychology. She uses Twitter so she is so easy to ask questions and will answer any of your DMs.
In my opinion the lectures were always very interesting and I never left class without learning something new. She also kept the lecture interesting by telling these stories that were really funny in my opinion and they went along great with what we were learning so it makes learning the material easier. She gives a good amount of extra credit.
GREAT!!
Super fun professor, always available to answer any questions concerning class. Just make sure you pay attention in class and study for test
Heather says that you need the textbook but I haven't even looked at it since the first week. She comes off super 'my way or the highway' kind of teacher, but I swear if you give her a chance, it'll be one of the best classes you take. I had to take this as an elective and still enjoyed every second of the class.
Heather is the best professor ever! She wants you to excel in her class. It is not a hard course, but you will have to work for the A. Introducing ECHO 360 has helped make the class a tad bit better because of interaction.
This was honestly one of the best classes I've taken at Ole Miss so far. Dr. Bliss makes the lectures fun and enjoyable. Yes, you have to pay attention in class but she makes her lectures interesting so it's not hard to. If you do what she says about studying the material, you will do just fine on the tests. Oh and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!
Best class I ever took.
Sets you up for success its just up to you to actually do it. She always answers quickly outside of class, and gives out extra credit. Shes funny and just a really great professor. Class was relatively easy but I actually learned a lot.
Heather is a very caring and good instructor. She breaks down lectures and topics to be very understandable, she gives you a lot of chances to get extra credit as well. She is also very easy to get in touch with outside of the classroom.
She was a great professor, had a good balance regarding the difficulty of the class. One of the few teachers who I can tell genuinely cares about the well being of the students. 10/10 recommend
Very helpful in and outside of class. Lectures are always informational and entertaining.
Great person!
So inspiring, caring, and fun. Her class is a blast. Tests aren't hard if you study. Homework is easy. Most fun I have had in a class in a while.
I love how yuh relate real world problems to your lectures
Very helpful. She always answers questions and is always willing to help. By far my favorite professor.
Heather Bliss is AWESOME. The class is hard but she weeds out those who do not want to work in the beginning of the semester. She is accommodating and understanding if you approach her and cares about your wellbeing outside of class. Psych can be hard to understand if you're not a science based person but I would not want any other teacher for it.
Heather Bliss was one of the first teachers I ever had here at the University of Mississippi, and she, although being a somewhat difficult teacher, was a great person and I loved going to her class every other day. Do not expect an Easy A, but if you actually care then you're in good standings for an A.
10/10 would recommend her class. Shes easily accessible outside of class. Definitely would advise following the class Twitter. Showing up to class is worth it when it comes to activity points and some questions on tests.
She is an amazing teacher as long as you come to class you will pass, she relates real life situations to the topic we are learning. She is extremely nice just don't cross her.
Every positive thing I would choose. She is the best teacher ever. Always trying to help you!! Great Information, makes you think.
super nice,entertaining, and very interesting lectures
even if you only pay the smallest amount of attention, odds are, youll get at least a B
She has the best sense of humor! She is my favorite professor! She makes her lectures interesting. She gives a lot of extra credit like no other professor does! She is also very good at responding fast to questions. She made me feel comfortable in the class room as a nervous freshman! She was the best professor I had my first semester.
Heather made my first semester of college a real treat. I always looked forward to going to this class!! The tests are straight forward as long as you study.
She is a really great professor! There are quizzes which are easy if you go to class, and the tests are not terrible but you definitely need to study and go to class in order to understand the material. There is not much home work but when there is, it is kinda enjoyable.
Bliss is an amazing professor and goes out of her way to make sure you know the information.
If you want to learn then definitely take Bliss. If you do not care then you will not pass. She is an amazing professor and definitely one to take.
Best professor I've had at this university thus far. Lectures are simple and easy to understand. TONS of ways to get points. A good laugh to say the least. I actually learned so much more than I was expecting. She made everything interesting and the stories and demonstrations really got certain topics across. I've never missed this class.
She is an awesome professor. This was my favorite class of my freshmen year. She really cares about each of her students. She gets you to comprehend the material.
This class is my favorite to go to. I know that each lecture will be taught really well. I always love hearing what she had to say. One of the best professors I have ever had. Im going to miss having her class once this semester is over.
She made the material very easy to understand and I would recommend her class to everyone.
genuinely wants you to pass, great lectures, relates material to everyday situations, engaging personality
Great lectures and accessibility with very consistent grading.
Awesome teacher would recommend 10/10. Gives you plenty of opportunity for extra credit. Very intelligent, passionate, and knowledgeable about psychology. By far my favorite teacher. If you want a hip and cool teacher, take Bliss.
Loved this class. The tests are pretty difficult but she makes it interesting to learn. Very funny and gives lots of extra credit.
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Bliss is a good teacher but is also there for her students whenever they need her.
Bliss is amazing. She genuinely cares about her students and will make you laugh in class. She's super approachable and relates with our generation (Cuz she's so young). Her lectures are always interesting, even if the content is boring (You try making a lecture about action potentials interesting. It's pretty tough but she did it).
Wonderful teacher! I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She really cares about the subject and will help anyone is they are confused at any point. Also really funny
Amazing professor all around. Had the best lectures & really knows what shes talking about. She doesnt just read from the slides, she gives examples of topics that are harder to learn. Her test were quite hard, but they really help you learn the material better because they are application questions, so you attain the material well from studying.
I took her for psychology 201 and I absolutely adore this woman. She tries to intimate you at first but once you get to know her she's amazing, I even consider us friends. She'll do absolutely anything and everything in her power to help you. She gives out a ton of extra credit, even just for showing up to class which I highly recommend.
She cares about her students and her class as a whole, although sometimes challenging, is one of the more fun classes Ive taken. Shes the only proffesor Ive had that makes a hard subject (for me) easier to understand by the way she teaches. I highly reccomend taking her if you have the chance!
Great teacher. She was very engaging, and always interesting. I always looked forward to her personal anectdotes that help us students to remember information. I am sad that she is no longer teaching because i would have loved to have her again.
Great overall, really helps you understand the material.
Overall if you do what she asks of you youll get a good grade just make sure to take all the extra credit she throws at you and be thankful you get as much as you do.
Even though she will tell you that you don't get points for showing up, activity points earned goes towards you being present in class. A lot of points make up for this actually so go to class! You'll enjoy it! Very enthusiastic and not monotone. She gives you a lot of extra credit, but don't ever ask for more! She won't like that! Class is great!
A professional professor!
She is very intelligent in her field and actually cares to share it with other people, in turn is motivated to make sure her students succeed.
Heather Bliss--AMAZING prof. Her greatest qualities includes she is REAL, always kept her lecture interesting, & truly cares & wants to help ALL of her students. Even though attendance wasn't technically mandatory--HIGHLY recommended. I don't think I could've made it thru without going to lecture. Tests are intense but doable. LISTEN & take notes!!
She is very smart and good at what she teaches
An absolutely fantastic professor. Workload is very manageable and all very relevant, no busy work or anything unnecessary. Lecture is very good, shes very engaging, uses relevant examples, very technology competent. Quizzes and tests do require good knowledge of the material, but she goes miles out of her way to help you with this and truly cares
Ms. Bliss is very knowledgeable in psychology and clearly loves it. She made lectures interesting even if they were early in the morning. She is also very caring and tries to get to know her students.
The best damn teacher that ever existed. Kind, smart, and hilarious. Gives learning a new perspective and pushes students to try there best. For sure one of the best professor at the University of Ms. More than a teacher, a true individual who cares about their students.
Heather is awesome!!! A great explainer and knows what shes talking about. If you have a question, she tries her best to explain it as simple as possible. Shell make sure to make the material relatable. Shes so gooood!!
Best professor Ive had during my 3 years of college. Shes highly accessible, she makes class fun, and she doesnt try to make your life hard. The grading system is the biggest plus and it helped tremendously at the end of the semester. She also uses echo 360 which is the best when studying for exams.
Just the best teacher ever.. Ive taken her twice and will take her a million times more!!
A wonderful teacher! Deserves nothing more than the upmost respect! Wish I could take her again she was so awesome!!
Best professor ever! I wish I could take her for another course.
This is my second time taking Ms. Bliss and she is beyond amazing. She is extremely funny and cares about her students and really wants everyone to succeed. Her grading criteria is really easy to understand and it helps keep you on track to earn the grade that you want. 100/10 definitely recommend taking this professor!!!
Heather Bliss is the best professor in the Psychology Department. Her enthusiasm for Cognitive Psychology is unmatched. Her non-traditional lecture style started my MWFs off on a great note. She provides her students with the materials to be successful and gives students the flexibility to decide how they will achieve their desired grade.
Professor Bliss is the best. professor. ever. Im serious when I say this class grounded the fact that I want to minor in psychology. She genuinely loves her students& this class is by far the most enjoyable class Ive ever been in. I love that shes active on twitter and keeps us up to date there & also provides lots of extra credit opportunities.
I took Bliss my last semester of my senior year. I wish I had taken one of her classes sooner so I could have taken more! She's one of my all time favs. She is understanding and is easily accessible. She knows being a student is tough, so she is empathetic. She makes lectures fun and offers extra credit opportunities. 10/10, would def recommend!!
Bliss is awesome! Shes actually very relatable and makes the class interesting and fun with her witty humor! Some weeks may seem like a lot of work, but its busy work not hard work! You also do discussions with your classmates but no worries they are not hard at all and not long either. Take this class for an easy A and a great teacher!
Awesome
She is GREAT. She cares about her students and their success more than any prof ive ever had. Shes really open to working with her students and what is going to best benefit them. Communicates through twitter which i really cool and convenient. Super funny/ interesting easy to follow lecture
Heather Bliss is the best Professor I have ever had at Ole Miss. I wish all of my teachers were like her.
Professor Bliss is amazing. There is a lot of work, but all of it is fun and interesting. She lays the course out where you learn without even knowing your doing it sometimes. Take this class!! You will have to work for your grade, but it is absolutely worth it!
She is great!!! I would take again. The software takes a little bit of getting used to but shes there for you the whole time!
The best teacher I have had at the University of Mississippi.. she is very understanding and willing to work with students to ensure they get the best grade possible! A prime example of what a great teacher looks like!
Dr. Bliss is absolutely amazing! One of the best classes I'm taken at The University of Mississippi. Wherever you teaches throughout her career, I know that the students will love her. The passion that she puts into her lectures is phenomenal. She is younger than some professors, and she makes it known by her engaging and fun assignments! AMAZING!!
I really enjoyed taking another class with Professor Bliss. She is really enthusiastic about psychology; puts me better learning mood. Great teaching style!!!! More teacher should take notes. The workload was a lot but she made it fun and bearable. The information you learn in this class can help you a lot in your other classes. She's the best!
Loved this class!!
Take her you wont regret it I promise! Syllabus said we would need a book but I didnt get one and was perfectly fine! Her lecture videos are the best, she makes them interesting. As long as you do what you are suppose to, she makes it a breeze. You can tell she loves her job and cares about you! She is the best!
Loved her! Take her if you have the opportunity!
I absolutely loved Professor Bliss. This is my first review I have ever done on a teacher on this website but I made sure to go out of my way because of how awesome she is. She is so passionate and enthusiastic and you can tell she loves her job. Love her!
Loved taking Professor Bliss, shes not like other teachers shes a cool teacher (mean girls reference). She made learning relatively boring stuff entertaining. I will say that although the work is easy, there is a lot of it. Would take her again, she makes taking her classes worth it.
I loved prof bliss! her lectures were super interesting; she engaged a lot with her students. she always answered emails quickly and was super understanding. I only gave a 4/5 instead of 5/5 because many grades weren't submitted until the end of the semester, so it made it hard to know where I stood in the class. go to lectures and you'll do great
