Inteligent. Her class is kind of touchy-feeley. Prepare to talk about yourself

Great instructor. Class is very interesting!

Get all the notes and you'll be fine. Make sure you give a good presentation, only one. Some dayz its intertesting and good discussions, but it can be a little dull taking notes that come from the book. You've got problems if you don't get an A/B.

Very easy & interesting class. All notes on overhead. 3 tests, 1 presentation. No need to read the book, just know the bold terms. She does a good job of explaining the concepts. Good class.

Thought it would be boring, and at times it was, but for the most part interesting class. Tests are so easy and so is the presentation.

E-A-S-Y... Cool, too

Awsome teacher! Class was really interesting and had lots of funny moments. Did not fall alseep once! She is super cool and really nice. Class is based on opinions, stories, and experiences from the students so it can get REALLY funny. You're an idiot of you dont get at least a B. If you take notes EVERY DAY you dont need the book.

Wonderful class. Dr. Twenge is insightful, succinct, and humorous. There are three exams (worth 20% of grade each), a VERY short presentation (10%), and a cumulative final (30%). The final was not too difficult if you studied and went to class all semester. Not a difficult class - especially if you are a psych major. No need to take someone else!!

Awesome professor. She keeps her students engaged & answers students' questions thoroughly. She doesn't post any notes online so you must attend class or get them from a classmate. You also have to read the textbook to do well on the exams. There are 3 exams and one cumulative final. There is also one short presentation. I highly recommend her!!!

Go to class because notes are not posted. Book not needed if you go to class and take light notes. shes not very helpful and doesnt reschedule exams. best advice is to study the terms she highlight and some of the more obvious terms in the book.

I agree with the previous comment. She is great: not only very clear, but if she is not sure about a topic (and in psychology there are many), she will tell you frankly. ATTEND EVERY CLASS and WRITE DOWN EVERY SINGLE WORD SHE SAYS: they are GOLD; even her examples and/or jokes. You don't really need the book, some students didn't have it.

Very fun and energetic. Uses up-to-date examples. If you attend class and read the book(not all, just what she covers in class) you will recieve an A. Trust me you MUST study for the tests. The material may seem like common sense but it is not that simple. Had 3 tests,a final,and a written assignment. Take Her!

Easy class, easy subject. 3 midterms, a Final and an easy assignment. I would take her again.

Easy class. Nice teacher. No need to read the book. Just be sure to take good notes in class. And, don't slack off on the last two tests.

Awesome professor!! this is a pretty easy class! seriously I would say it's 90% lecture based-and not tricky way. Her lectures are simple and clear, and the majority of her test questions tie back to examples shes already talked about. The final is cumulative, but if you read the book and really review past lectures you'll do fine!

She is great! Very knowledgeable and understanding. Tests were challenging, but not impossible. I'm going to take all classes she instructs.

Go to class and take good notes on what she says. Tests are straight forward if you attend every class and take good notes, even on the videos! TA's have a review session before each test. Easy one page writing assignment. Take her!

This was an interesting class. Twenge makes everything clear and uses youtube videos to show examples. The tests are not that easy but not bad either. The 2nd test was 80 questions and so much chapters to remember but after that it gets better. She doesnt respond to emails, you have to communicate with TAs which is so annoying. go to every class!

Great class. I recommend this class to anyone. Your grade is based on tests and personality questionnaires. It's a good idea to purchase the book and skim through it before tests. Dr. T tests on "anything in the book that covers more than one page".

Really easy & straight forward class! 3 midterms, 1 optional final & an easy 1 page writing assignment. Go to class because tests are 90% off of lecture. Focus on terms & how they differ. 2nd test was a bit harder than the others. One of the easiest classes I have taken. She actually makes it interesting! LOVED this class. Easy A!

Twenge is a great professor. She's very passionate about her work and teaching and she makes the subject interesting. Giant class size so there were only lectures and exams. Watched some videos which were helpful. Great class!

Kind of difficult class but made it out with an A- (your lowest exam score gets dropped). Exams are 80% from the discussion & 20% from the book! If you know the vocab you'll be golden! Interesting class but you have to study a lot to get an A. No review sessions/ study guide so go to every class and know the vocab.

4 tests(lowest dropped) and personality packets which are worth 20% of the grade(very easy points.)Interesting material, but the tests are hard. If I had a chance to do it over again I would actually read the book instead of just studying the notes.

I really wanted to like this class but the lectures were brutal. I loved the personality tests because you really get to know more about yourself and they are quite fun. Tests were hard, I studied for them and got C's.

Great professor take her! Grades based on 4 exams w lowest one dropped. Personality packets are easy points & interesting. Free textbook since she was in the process of publishing it. Not exactly an easy A but the material is easy enough that if you read the book & follow lectures you will have no problem retaining the info.

I took Psychology of Personality from Dr. Twenge and felt like I really learned a lot. The subject is very interesting as well as immediately applicable and Dr. Twenge is extremely well-versed in the area. At the time she had just co-authored the textbook and because it wasn't printed yet gave it to us for free. Not the easiest, just very good.

The only thing that made this class not as exciting as I'd hoped was that the professor wrote the book, so the lectures were a repetition of the chapters. That made it boring at times, I wish there'd have been more variability in the lectures (diff. examples). Some of the test questions are very specific to the reading. She offered extra credit.

This class was tough. She doesn't offer study guides and her lectures are long and boring. If you read the book, study the learning objectives and the vocal then you can get an A in this class. Make sure you do personality questionnaires, easy points! There are 3 exams and 1 cumulative final, but your lowest exam is dropped.

Love this class, my fav of the semester. Have to read the online book because they're are quizzes throughout the chapter, easy points that help boost your grade. Learned a lot about my own personality since you take a lot of questionnaires then learn about what is measured. Going to class was easy, she was organized and always showed funny videos.

She is the most amazing teacher I have ever had I love the personality quiz

Wow so caring but makes you work for it do read up

Shes good but is hard to plese

Really interesting class and not too hard to get credit. We have 3 exams and 1 final. Worst grade of the 4 exams is dropped meaning if you like your first 3 exam scores you can skip the final. In the online book there are journals, quizzes, and questionaries that you must complete for points as you read through the chapters.

I really enjoyed this class. The material is interesting and Twenge is a great prof. The class isn't too hard if you take good notes when reading the textbook and in class during her lectures. Tests are fair and not tricky.

Dr. Twenge is the most accomplished Professor in the Psych. dept. if not all of SDSU. With that, I was excited for this class. Even though she is an expert in her field, it becomes clear, early, she is operating on autopilot. Due to subpar lectures, I opted to study from home. Read the chapters, pp slides on bb, and take notes and you'll get an A

This class was fairly easy, she uses Pearson so we had weekly assignments online (personality questionnaires and chapter quizzes). Make sure you stay on top of due dates because I missed one and it brought my grade down, you're able to skim through chapters and still do decent on quizzes so don't worry about that. Overall interesting class

Can't go wrong on this one! There's an unexpected change in the syllabus due to the pandemic. Ended up having a 2000-word essay instead of three exams.

Her lectures are recorded but can be up to an hour. Pay close attention to her lectures bc her test are based on her lectures and examples. Try not to miss a due date for homework bc it will cost you at the end. She offered extra credit at the end. Very easy going class as long u keep up w/ lectures and homework.

I was so excited to take this class because Twenge is one of the most accomplished professors at state. Her grading method is super weird and she does not record lectures. Lectures were always interesting though but make sure you take good notes if you take this class.

Super knowledgeable and makes lectures interesting. Her grading system is weird so it's hard to know how many points you have throughout the semester. Tests are straightfoward, try not to miss a class.

I was really excited for this class and the professor, but it was too easy and I dont really know that I learned as much as Id hoped to. Textbook is a fun read (Sometimes Id be so captivated Id wander chapters ahead) and her lectures are very interesting.

Hybrid & attendance not mandatory but content from in person lecture is on exams and she doesn't upload them so go to class. Textbook is required, authored by Prof. so the lectures are basically same as textbook reading. Questionnaire and quizzes on cengage due every saturday night. 3 exams, 1 final (optional). Take w/ psy 340 as content overlaps.

She's a good professor; the midterms are in person and scenario based, so you need to know the material very well. Also the homework may seem like a lot at first but it will get easier to handle.

Exams have more scenario-based questions so you have to study more to properly understand the material in order to do well. All quizzes are in the e-textbook (which frequently had tech issues so don't put it off to the last minute). You also take a lot of personality questionnaires as part of the hw so it's interesting learning more abt yourself!

Super interesting class, very passionate teacher. She wrote her textbook, so lectures and txtbk are the same content. Lots of reading, but personality quizzes were fun. Lots of quizlets out there for the HW and studying. She's very sweet, and sometimes her test questions had silly references, so they didn't feel as daunting. Totally recommend

Professor Twenge was wonderful. She's very passionate about the topic, and keeps lectures interesting. This class was hybrid so we watched one lecture on our own time and had one in-person lecture a week. Exams are straight forward but you need to study to pass them. The class is tough at times and is not an easy A. I highly recommend this class

Professor Twenge was really amazing! Most work for the course was completed online as I took PSY 351 in hybrid format, but our weekly in-person lectures were fun, interactive, and well-structured. There is a heavy amount of content covered quickly though, so if you're a student that needs extra time to really digest the material, I would beware. :)

This was one of my favorite classes as it was very straight forward with what you had to do and all of her lectures were really interesting and engaging. You take 4 tests and your lowest gets dropped so at the end of the semester if you like your grade you do not have to take the final.

Incredibly intelligent professor that cares about her students. Has great policies, exams are straightforward. She fosters class discussion in a lecture which is super rare from professors here.

Lots of homework is in the textbook, written by her. I feel like the personality questionnaires made up a lot of our grade. Her exams are a little weird and don't make sense at times but I guess the questionnaires made up for it.

Jean is super knowledgeable and this class is worth taking with her! hw is based on her own textbook that she created and lectures consist of the same information from textbook. Only downside is she doesn't record and post her lectures and there are no study guides for the exams. Grade is based on 4 exams (1 dropped) and textbook quizzes.

Super smart woman and interesting class. Not super hard, but fun to learn.

Extremely knowledgeable professor who knows how to lecture; easy course to navigate! You have lots of time to complete the homework and can still turn it in late! The exams were a lot of material from lecture and the textbook! You need both to pass with an A! Do good on the first 3 exams so you don't have to take the final (final was a LOT of info)
