Very nice and knowledgeable. Sometimes hard to understand but you get used to it. I would take her again w/o thinking twice. Tests r easy multiple choice and 2 short essays but she tells you what the essays are. Just read the book and copy down powerpoints in class and you'll get at least a B. Very nice, she tells funny stories to clear up topics.
i only go to classes for the exams... study 2 hrs before class from the notes she posts to blackboard... papers submitted and assigned through blackboard... oh.. and im getting an A-VERY EASY CLASS
although the class may be fairly easy to pass it is by far the most BORING two hours of my entire life every week. all she does is lecture and read off power points. if you are actually interested in learning DO NOT TAKE HER. plus it takes her weeks to get assignments and tests graded. avoid at all costs.
As a psych major, I like to be able to understand the concepts that are being discussed in psychology classes. That was not possible with this professor, her speech is very hard to understand and the majority of the class content involved biology and random development facts thrown in out of no where. DO NOT TAKE HER. EVER.
this is apretty easy class, but very boring. it takes weeks to get papers and assignments graded and she is hard to understand. take this class with a different prof if at all possible
Everything is turned in through blackboard. She holds these study sessions online the day before the test and gives you everything you need to know.She offers so much extra credit..impossible not to get an A. The notes are online too so you dont have to go to class.
Cant understand her at all! Takes FOREVER to get grades posted on blackboard and takes even longer to correct papers. If you dont want to show up to class, then take her. DONT BUY THE TEXT BOOK EITHER!!!!
Ummm what can I say? Hard to understand, but does create Powerpoints which makes understanding the material much easier. Gives TONS of extra credit. Takes a while for her to grade assignments and post them. Overall, the class was decent.
Doesn't take attendance and leaves the notes on blackboard so basically it is your choice to show up. I did show up and listen to her lectures however it didn't help. Most of her tests are opinion based and I don't think she read one of my papers. It was as if she just picked a grade out of thin air. I waited 2 months for a grade on a paper.
great teacher, takes along time to post grades, gives lots of extra credit, easy tests and you DO need the book because she pulls questions from the book for her exams...i've gotten an A in her class every time...without much effort.
Takes forever to get your grades back. Very unclear about most things. I would avoid her, but I'm sure she is better than some other professors.
Easy easy professor. I don't think she's hard to understand at all. Her exams are a breeze. As long as you review the online discussion before the exam, you'll do fine. She'll tell you the essay questions so you can look them up and decide what to write. She gives extra credit and it's not hard to get.
You get used to her speach patterns. Easy class, she posts the notes on blackboard, and is willing to answer any questions. She talks about her family alot.
Class was super easy. I only skimmed the chapters and got an A. I also got to bring my kids to class for extra credit. Take her if you want a good grade.
She has good intentions, but the class is not really organized and the tests can be a little misleading. I don't know, I just don't mesh well with her.
If you ever want to get your grades back, like before finals..don't take her. Very Unclear, and if you misuse on thing in your paper she'll give it a zero, it's an easy class, but look for another professor.
This is a really easy class. It is not that hard to understand her, and if you do have problems her lectures are powerpoints and she posts them on blackboard. Her tests are really easy if you go to the review session online. She never gives you your papers back and is a little unorganized. Other than that, I would highly reccomend her!
The class itself is pretty easy. She has cerebral palsy and a speech impedimate so it is very difficult to follow along in class and to understand what is being gone over.
You will receive an A in this course as long as you teach yourself the material and dont mind not knowing your grades throughout the semester. Study the powerpoints and do the easy extra credit assignments and you will easily pass. Bring extra homework to do in class durring lectures!
I could not understand one word that she was saying and I dropped this class on the first day itself. She is very incomprehensible.
If you give her a chance she is not that hard to understand at all. Her class is easy. I would suggest her.
Definitely do online reviews. Study power point notes she gives on VSPACE and study sections in the book she gives you. Exams will then be a BREEZE! Takes forever to post grades, be careful on your papers or else you'll bomb them very easily. She gives out surprise quizzes and papers once in a while. EXTRA CREDIT =25 points, very easy to do!!!!
One of the best professors I've ever had. She really loves what she does and it comes across in her teaching. She had us read interesting journal articles and discuss them everyday. In her lab we went on field trips to observe animals. She takes input from her students and is very approachable and helpful. One of my favorite Psyc professors!
Overall a great professor. However I think she makes a lot of generalizations. I have never encountered this from a psychology professor before. You really have to pay attention. Sometimes I think she's trying to hard.
Do not take this in the spring or summer. You'll regret it. This class is extremely fast-paced and hard during those semesters. The professor is an overall strict person and her exams are tricky. She has a speech impairment which makes it difficult to understand.
You can't understand her because of her CP. Don't raise your hand because if you are wrong (in her opinion) she makes you feel stupid.
She's a very smart professor and knows what she's talking about but you cannot understand her which made it very hard to learn anything in there. It was a waste of time.
Only take if you have to. She is not a teacher at all. Has CP but it isnt not too heard to understand her. However, she sucks as a teacher. Wants class discussion but when ppl answer her questions, they are always wrong no matter what. I think she hated me and wanted to give me bad grades and i called her out on it. got a B overall
Didn't like the class at all. Very boring mainly because she's hard to understand. Had to write notes with my neighbor to stay awake.
I would not recommend this teacher to anyone. You can't understand a word she says. She grades the papers way too hard, when she doesn't even explain them in the first place. I hated going to this class overall.
This class was a pain... she is very hard to understand and she picks apart your papers. if you enjoy getting your papers back and seeing the mistakes that you made then dont take her class, because it will never happen. test are tricky also.... would not reccomend her to anyone
Excellent Teacher! It took me a little while to click into her speach pattern because she has C.P., but after the second class, no prob. She made it all interesting and something that I can use farther down the road. She is strict with her papers, but follow the directions and visit the writing center if you have problems.
great teacher!! one of the best teachers I have ever had.I learned a lot!!
She is obviously interested in teaching. I found that she was more than willing to answer questions. The papers she assigns are very easy. Points are only taken for mistakes in citations. (Hint: don't use them! If you don't use someone's work, you won't need to cite them.) She has a slight speach impedement, but it is easily understood in no time.
Tells you everything you need to know for every exam, and as long as you takes notes and study a little this class is an interesting and easy A. She gets easier to understand and knows what she's talking about. Easy and rare assignments, she's my favorite professor this semester.
Great teacher. The tests and papers are fairly easy. If you pay attention in class you're basically guarenteed an A on the test. Even if you don't go to class she posts all the notes online. Very minimal work for an A. Would totally take her again.
Very difficult to understand. She does not take attendence, and posts the powerpoint on Vspace after class ends. Pointless to go to class. She talks more about herself than psychology. Several stories told over and over again throughout the semester. Exams are hard but she curves them. Would not recommend.
made it boring, difficult to understand, and there was no need to go to class since she didn't take attendance and put all the power points on vspace.
Very hard to understand!! Not helpful and the exams were hard. I don't recommend taking this professor.
Prof. Malmburg is very smart. However, she should not be a teacher. She fails to challenge me intellectually as well as the whole class (I think) She talks too slow and reads directly off the slides. She also thinks that she is an english teacher rather than a psyc. prof. when it comes to papers. If you can don't take her.
She is very hard to understand. She spends more time talking about her personal life than adolescent psychology. She is very unclear when it comes to explaining assignments and is a tough grader. She is unwilling to negotiate on grades. On a positive note, her power points are very clear and helpful (sometimes) but her exams are hard.
I thought she was a great prof and I actually really enjoyed the class. Took this class in the spring and thought it was a very easy. She is very clear and she talks about her personal life a lot, but only to relate it back to the material so you understand what she is talking about. We only had 2 papers and 3 exams which were not difficult.
She asks for feedback, but then will gloat when the person is wrong (in her opinion). She has also stated several times that she can say/do what she wants because SHE grades US....(power issues).
I had high hopes for this class but was disappointed when I realized that Professor Malmberg talks more about her personal life than the class material. I wasted $250 on a book that we only used four times. If you can take this class with a different professor I highly recommend it.
THIS PROFESSOR IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. I felt bad but I could not stay focused when she lectured, therefore was lost within the first 3 weeks. I ended up withdrawaling and having to take the class over another semester. She is very unorganized, which she will admit and there is no structure to the class/lectures.
She is awful at getting grades back on time, didnt know what my overall grade was until finals week. Very unorganized, and gave us poor feedback during the semester. Was very dissapointed.
She wasn't a particularly difficult professor to take; she was very clear in what she expected in the two two-page papers we had to write, and we had an online discussion before each exam where she told us exact questions that would be on the test. She was really rude and called the class "dumb" a lot, and was VERY opinionated.
I was scared to take statistics, but Jeanne made it very easy to understand! Because she speaks slower, the pace is very easy to follow, and she will not move forward without understanding! YOU MUST HAVE THE BOOK! Homework is straight out of the book, and for this class, there is quite a bit due to demonstrating comprehension of material - Easy A
Don't be quick to judge due to her speech. Because she speaks slowly, the course moves at a very simple pace. Power points are all online, however if you don't show up to class, you won't understand the material. She's a great person and professor. I've taken her 4 times, and aced all of them. Pay attention in class, take notes and it's an easy A
The class goes slow because she takes it slow. She clearly explains what she's talking about and uses a lot of life examples. Didn't use the book until she told us there were some things on the exam from the chapters. Easy class if you pay attention and come to class. Basically gives you all of the exam questions on a chat 2 days before test.
I spent $200 on the textbook and haven't open it once,don't waste your money. She gives questions/answers from the exam 2days prior in an online chat which is super helpful. I wouldn't say she is a harsh grader but she is picky. Uses a lot of real life examples which is good sometimes but can get annoying. She puts all of the power points online.
This professor is the worst and I will never take her again. Nothing gets graded until a month later so you don't know how you are doing, and once it is graded, it is very harshly. The exams she gives are over the book, nothing she lectures over so I did bad on them. Also has cerebral palsy so you can hardly understand her. Horribly unorganized!!
Very unorganized. Has no class schedule so you don't know what you are learning when, which also makes for tough exams. You can't understand her, which is mean to say since she has cerebral palsy, but it makes it hard on us as students. Exams are over the text, not lectures so class seemed pointless. Very opinionated and all over the place; rude
When you people complain about how "difficult" her class and instructions are, then these are people that don't like to pay much attention in class. Malmberg does have heavy lectures, but she makes them easy to understand. Homework is on Mindtap and is easy to do. Just study well and you'll do fine on her test. Plus, her tests will be averaged out!
all homework is online, no personal contact, doesnt care about her students. she will not tell you what is on the exam, no study guides. she has cerebral palsy which can make her very hard to understand, but you get used to i after the first weeks. she often times get heavily sidetracked and will go off for 15-30 minutes about her cats or mother.
Dr. Malmberg has a sneaky sense of humor. She uses entertaining illustrations of topics in lecture, and invites class discussion. There are, in class and out of class, writing assignments. Dr. Malmberg coached us through the use of a "template" which will be useful for writing requirements in other courses.
first off you barely understand whats coming out her mouth and once you do she's all over the place. Another problem she doesn't have any assignments so if you're a bad test taker you will fail her class.
She lectures and lectures and it can get really boring. She goes off on tangents a lot about stories about her family and her daughter. She puts all her Power Points on canvas so you don't really have to take notes. She also gives exam review sessions where she literally gives you half the test. Follow her paper rules EXACTLY and you will do fine.
You can barely understand her unless you focus very hard on what she is saying. She lectures on tangents and personal stories instead of things that pertain to the class, then when you get to the exam half of the stuff you've never heard of before. The best thing is she offers extra credit and she gives a lot of the test questions on a chat session
Do not take the professor. Throughout her semester I learned more about her personal life than the material and it didn't correspond whatsoever. Not to mention we only had a few assignments and none of them were graded until the end of the semester. Worst professor I ever had.
She is passionate about Psychology which makes the class more interesting. She is fair and gives you a good idea what to study for test. Book is not required .
Jeanne is a good person. She knows what shes talking about. Shes flexible and understands family circumstances. The only thing I have to say against her is she takes FOREVER to grade. Its been months since weve turned in a few assignments. No grades. No feedback. I honestly dont even know what grade I have in the class!
It only took me about 2-3 class periods to really start to understand her. I personally learned just fine from her. She provides the slides to you on Canvas, and so you can still figure it out when you miss class. She will leave homework for you in Brown Hall if you miss class. Her writing is hard to read, but if you pay attention you will be fine.
This course began with Malmberg berating a student about an opinion that was requested by Malmberg. She disliked the student's opinion, and wouldn't stop aggressively yelling about how much she disagreed. This resulted in all students walking out of class 2 hours early. Following this very rocky start, Malmberg is a very knowledgeable instructor.
I don't know why some of her reviews are so negative. Malmberg is an excellent prof. She is hilarious and nice! Show up to class, take notes, participate, and you'll be fine. An "A" will not be handed to you, but it is certainly attainable with this instructor. This is a COLLEGE class. Suck it up and put the work in. It is not a difficult course.
Like most college courses, this class is very lecture-heavy, so do not skip. Overall, super easy class. I liked her and everyone in my class liked her too. I only studied for a little bit the night before the tests and I always got As. She basically tells you what is going to be on the tests. She is a tough paper-grader, so beware.
She is decent. Some of the grades many got didnt make sense on the papers, and it is not an easy class, but crazy hard. She just takes forever to grade.
Jeanne is a tough grader. She gives essay questions in advance and allows notes on other parts of exams but DONT assume her tests will be easy! Questions are lengthy and make you think. Apply yourself and youll be fine! She explains things very well and lectures are interesting!great professor and a very nice person. I enjoyed her class
Does not have clear grading criteria on essay questions on exams and on papers. Does not provide grading rubrics for anything. Will provide the dentition and essay questions that will be on tests, but doesnt give clear instructions or guidelines of how those will be graded so you miss points if you dont read her mind.
She doesn't give hardly any studying help. Takes months for her to post grades so must of the semester you probably wont know what youre getting in her class. Doesnt give your exams back, so you never know what you scored on her short answer section. Only reminds students of assignments a week before they are due. Would not recommend to anyone
Prof would not show up to class. Did not give feedback and would not be helpful in classwork. She would not try and understand any one else's point of view and would argue with students. Should not be a Professor!
She's an extremely hard grader for no reason. she also doesn't leave comments on what was wrong or how to improve. I nearly failed the class because it took her a month before the end of the semester to put in grades. You never know how you are doing in her class. She is one of the WORST professors I've ever had. Overall, terrible professor.
Dr. Malmberg is very passionate about what she teaches and puts a great deal of thought into what she lectures about. She expects high quality work! Exams are mostly applied questions which are tough but very manageable if you actually understand the material. Assignments correspond very well to what she lectures on and are very manageable.
Little if any feedback is given on tests/assignments. Grades won't be in until after the end of the semester. DO NOT take her for a 7-10, you will ALWAYS go until 10, even if she fills most of the lecture with stories of her own personal life. Be sure to utilize her Canvas study session! Bring a laptop or you will be bored for 3 hours.
Unreasonable amount of busy work which serves no purpose. Grades are not submitted for months so you have no idea how youre doing in the class. Directions for assignments are minimal and rubrics are nonexistent. At one point the class did poorly on an assignment and in response she berated the class over email. Avoid at all costs.
She expects you to read her mind when completing assignments and provides minimal if any instructions. An unreasonable workload for a one credit class especially considering most of the assignments were completely pointless. I wasted so much time in this class working on assignments which taught absolutely nothing.
It takes her a whole class period to go through 4 slides. She assigns pointless homework with minimal instructions and then grades it super hard for no reason. I've had her three times, the first time everyone was failing the class. The second class was easier, but this online stuff makes her classes horrid. Dont take her if you can avoid it.
Dr. Malmberg is very bad at lecturing to students, is very hard to follow along, goes on long tangents during class, assigns homework with very little instructions and ends up confusing people. If you can take a class with another professor, do so! You will save so much unnecessary stress.
Although Jeanne is a very nice person, this class consists of constant lecture, which is bearable, but don't expect to receive exam grades back until a month or more later. Questions are on the exam that were never discussed in lecture and exam answers are not shown so you won't be able to see what answers you got wrong and why.
Takes forever to get through her slides, usually tells personal stories that take her 5 minutes to get through. She does not put grades into Canvas for weeks, is a tough grader on homework, and does not clearly explain the assignments at all. I've had her for 3 classes and this was the last straw. Do not take her class, especially if it is online.
It was very difficult to follow along in class. Then, there were not many assignments, and the ones we did have she graded very very hard. This was a difficult class to get through.
Having her in the past I knew exactly how to navigate this class. Lectures can be very tough to follow due to over-explanation so studying the slides independently can be helpful. Almost ALL text questions are applications so be able to apply info. She curves every exam and if you actually study you'll do fine. Idk why everyone finds her rude...
Professor Malmberg was the worst professor I have ever had. She doesnt give you a clear rubric for your papers and then proceeds to fail you on them. Dont bother trying to talk about your grade because she doesnt care enough to tell you what you did wrong. I would never take this class if you want a good GPA in college.
I wouldnt recommend. Incredibly difficult to understand what shes saying, lectures are long and tedious with an overload of information regarding very few topics, unclear grading standards and expectations, and no chance to defend your grade against said unclear standards. Assignment heavy, but I took this for summer so not surprising.
Prof Malmberg is a decent professor. Her class was not too difficult if you follow her directions on papers and go to her exam review sessions. My main issue was that she wasted time during class with personal stories and she was not very understanding. I didn't think she was very respectful and she treated us like she was so far above us.
Professor Malmberg only lectures in classes and it is hard to understand anything she says so its a huge waste of time to even go, there are a few in class assignments but they aren't worth much so it won't hurt your grade too much. Basically if you take this professor be prepared to have to teach yourself
Beware, this class runs on your testing abilities. I would recommend not buying or renting the book, just buy the code online.
This was for the lab. She told my group that we could not do what we wanted, which was fine, but then told us to do an experiment that only she liked. She shot down any other ideas that were not her own. Then looked me in my eyes and told me we would not be able to do this. Her lectures go by very fast. Do not waste your time.
The fact that she doesn't speak well was not an issue for me. She does not post supplementary material and powerpoints are very short with little correlation to the assignments you take. Many of the application questions are very abstract and examples are not provided in slides. Almost no chances to make up points with very few assignments.
Dr. Malmberg is an amazing professor! Lectures have a lot of information but she does an amazing job of giving real life examples to really help it make sense. If you take good notes you will get a good grade as the PowerPoints are exactly like the exams. The other assignments come right from the book. Dr. Malmberg enjoys what she does and it shows
Don't get caught up in how she speaks because that does not define the amazing way she teaches. She's organized, and she loves what she does! tests are based on the exact words of the PowerPoint, and the online review gives you the same questions with the answer. She is very kind, and I was interested in the lectures. I recommend taking her class.
professor Malmberg, is very passionate about what she does. the book was nearly useless as the tests are pretty much the PowerPoints she goes over, study those as much as you can and you should get a good grade on the test. she is hard to understand when she speaks but you'll probly get used to it
she was difficult to understand at first but you get used to it. every day will be lecture and there were not a lot of grades in the gradebook so it's important you do well on the exams (no cumulative). if you attend the "review" sessions before exams you'll do well because she basically gives you all the questions.
It's not too hard of a class, if you do the assignments you should pass. But make sure you don't spell a single word wrong or miss a comma, because she'll take points away. It wasn't a terrible class to take but I wouldn't recommend it. She doesn't have a specific due date schedule like most professors. Things are due randomly throughout the week.
She is definitely difficult to understand at first, but after a few classes, you will get used to it. I'm in her stats class, and though it's a difficult topic, she does her best to make it easy to understand. The homework load is light and she is always willing to help out. I find her quite entertaining, and she's very sweet. Would take again.
Dr. Malmberg is very kind, but you must understand going into the class that it will be difficult to understand her at times due to her condition. As long as you understand the math, you will be all good. We only used the tables in the back of the textbook, so save some money and take pictures/print someone else's. Have a notebook and calculator.
Overall Dr. Malmberg is a nice professor. Her lectures are consistently based on her Google slides, and those are easy to follow. However, if you aren't a good test taker, don't take her. Your grade is based on essentially three exams and one paper, making it very hard to end with a good grade and/or catch up if you do poorly on those.
Dr. Malmberg can be hard to understand initially, but she is very passionate and has pretty to-the-point lecture slides. She has beneficial exam review sessions, and I thought if you focused on the lectures, you could get a good grade in the class.
Extremely nice lady. However, you have to go to her class in order to be prepared for the exam. There are very few assignments and your grade can be jeopardized if you do not do well on the exams. She can be a picky grader but her kindness makes up for it. As long as you do your best to remember things from lecture you will be fine.
Dr. Malmberg was a great professor. Her class has very high standards; if you are not a good test taker, I would not recommend her classes given that exams weigh out most of your grade. There were weekly assignments based on creating 5 exam questions, worth 10 points. One grammar mistake is one point off. Lecture is crucial for doing well on exams.
Passionate professor with clear lectures. Exams are challenging, so attending class and using study aids like Unstuck study are key. Overall, if you put in the effort, you can succeed in this course.
She's new at teaching this course and I think that's why I disliked this class. I had her for stats and enjoyed the class and her energy, but this class was completely different. Grade is heavily dependent on exams and it's all lecture, nothing else. No textbook needed but also no study guides for the exams, you just have to remember everything.
She is incredibly hard to understand, never puts grades in, and barely hands out any assignments so if you don't do good on your exams you will not do good in her class. Lectures are LONG and dragged on.
Dr. Malmberg rarely gives assignments, so if you are not a good test taker, I would not recommend this class.
"Doesn't believe in study guides", impossible to understand, attendance mandatory
This professor is very hard to understand. She would respond to my email about 2-3 weeks after I had emailed her. She also has no rubrics when grading things. I found this particularly challenging as it was hard to know how to do better. Once I met with her, every time she would just say, Add more detail.
Super hard to understand, and a lecture is needed for tests. Tests are essentially your whole grade. She gives little to no feedback. Never answers email and is very short when meeting in person
Very kind and witty. All exam content is on the slides presented in lecture so take notes. She is very forgiving on deadlines, but don't take advantage. Overall, very pleased with her teaching and exam set up.
