Dr. Clifford is seriously the best professor ever! She is so passionate about psychology and cares about all of her students. Don't hesitate to take her, you won't regret it. Attendance is not mandatory but she gives quizzes and lots of extra credit and lectures on things that WILL be on the tests. Just show up, you won't regret it one bit!

You use the REVEL program to complete assignments, discussions based off the chapter, and an exam every 2 weeks I think. Interesting class, I learned alot.

She's really into psychology and I feel she makes it easy to understand as long as you listen. I took a half semester class on accident and I didn't even know till the week before it ended, so I think she's pretty good at pacing too. 10/5

No question why she's one of the most liked teachers on campus. At the beginning of the course she says she'll turn everyone into a psych major and its because she makes class so fun and lectures so interesting. One negative is that she loves discussion and in a big class, classes quickly become discussion based rather than learning new material.
