I'm pretty sure this is her first semester teaching, and you can tell. She is super easy, class isn't difficult, and she is very understanding if you have problems. That being said, she is a very boring lecturer, she doesnt really expound on anything, and her slides are basically just the textbook.

SO much ridiculous busy work! Expect to spend at least 10-15 hrs per unit on homework. The busy work modules through LearnSmart do not help with tests.

This class was horrible. I took it online and it consists of a bunch of busy work. Her learn smart assignements are done through a program that only works half of the time so those assignments take twice as long if not longer. You can get an A in her class if you keep on top of all of the busy works. Don't plan on learning anything in this class.

Grewe's lectures are a watered down version of the book but more boring. There is a world of wonderful study inside psychology but we touched on none of it. I took this course outside of requirements because I was genuinely interested in psychology but that dwindled away quickly. She also has an awful tone of voice when she lectures. Nails on board

It was an online class, and the content felt canned and prepackaged from the start.

Professor Grewe is amazing and gives great lectures. Psychology was not a subject I was interested in and therefore the tests were very hard for me. She gives you every opportunity to succeed. Even if I struggled with the material I'd take her again just for her lectures.

Dr. Grewe is one of the only professors Ive had that genuinely cares about her students. She is such a real person inside class and enjoyable to listen to.

Dr. Grewe is a nice person who genuinely cares, but there are a TON of group activities that don't help at all with learning. Also, her lectures are interesting but don't help with exams. Almost everything comes straight out of the book. Exams are super hard. Be prepared to constantly study every tiny detail in the book.

If you are a pre-med student and you value your GPA find another class. No amount of studying can get you an A on her tests. You are tested on who knows what, even though she says it all comes from lectures. I studied more for this class than O-chem and calc 2 and still got a b+. Ruined my GPA

Dr. Grewe (pronounced grew-y) is a great professor. Her lectures are fun and engaging and she really knows what she's talking about. You'll be tempted to just skim through the chapters just to get your homework done but trust me, you need to read.

We did a ton of group work that I feel like I learned absolutely nothing from. She also puts out a study guide, but then puts random questions on the test that we never talked about. She lets you take your test by yourself and then with a group and gives you 1/2 credit back if you get the question right the 2nd time. Does care about students.
