I figured this would be an easy class, but she makes you earn you grade in the class. Going to class gets harder and harder as the semester rolls on. You will take around 6 tests in this class and she doesn't curve. Class average on most tests was around 65 in my class and there was more than 350 people in the class.

Tests are extemely hard even if you go to every class and the study lab like I did. Grade is based only on tests, which isn't a good reading of your true knowledge.

Dr. Noll is a great professor. She is interesting to listen to and you can tell she loves her job and care about her students. If you just do the learning objectives and study them you will do fine. All the test questions are from the learning objectives. Print out the Chapter Outlines and you don't even need the book. Easy A. I enjoyed the class.

Dr.Noll is very knowledgeable in her field and a great teacher. She'll let you know what sections to study and/or not worry about during powerpoints. It was a very fun class, but make sure you have adequate time to read and study. The tests are both conceptual and factual. I suggest doing the practice quizzes online.

Her exams are bit difficult, but if you go to class and read the book, you should be fine. The study guide is helpful. Buy it! She does use clickers, and those points add up. She gives you plenty of oppertunities for extra credit, and is always available for extra help. So if you do bad in her class, its because you did not put forth the effort!

Would take again

Great professor to have for an online class, very clear with expectations and grading policies. Exams are proctored and require hours of studying, weekly assignments due every Sunday but they don't require much effort or time.

Professor Noll herself is a good person. I met her during her office hours, but I took her Intro to Psych online and it was very time consuming, lots of work due weekly, and she graded relatively hard. Would recommend if you are looking for a challenge but not for an easy A

Gives good feedback
Lots of homework
Test heavy

Wouldn't take again

I highly regret not researching this professor before taking her class. Hardest and most stressful class I've ever taken. She's a tough grader and the exams make up a huge percentage of your grade. She is definitely homework heavy. Exams are extremely difficult and so confusing because they don't always have anything do with the lessons.
