Fun Fridays Rock, You go Dr. H
I think your hot dr hollander!!! You are a wonderful profesor!
great teacher... love her... never studied for a test and made high c's.
Awesome teacher!!! Take her and you are sure to get a good grade
Good teacher! She gives a study guide before the test which helps out a lot. She is funny and helps you understand the material by comparing it to everyday things. She also offers opportunity for bonus. Deducts points for absences though.
Do not take for 8am class. Boring, but maybe b/c we are all tired. Good teacher. Study for the tests, and you will do good. Study guides and practice tests help, also. Highly recommended.
Dr. Hollander's tests were not too hard just read the book and you'll do fine on tests. You must show up for class attendance is worth an entire test grade. More than 3 absences and you will not get a good grade. Also, she gives bonus for experimetrix credits. That is more than 15 pts. added to your test grade. It pulled up my average to an A
She made learning easy and fun. I never missed class. Her test were clear and to the point. No trickiness.
loved this class!! alot of fun and corny but that made the class interesting. tests are very easy and gives a lot of bonus!! i recommend her!
didn't like her. i like to miss class and she didn't like that one bit. hehh...

Dr. Hollander is a great teacher and I only wish that my class would have actually interacted in her lectures. Some may say she is boring but thats only because she asks questions and no one answers. Her tests are fair, she gives fun bonus, and has a great attitude. I highly recommend her.
She's a great teacher! Her tests are easy and she gives you a study guide that tells you EXACTLY what's on the test! She gives lots of extra bonus points! She's fun, but don't skip her class because she takes off for absences! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Dr. Hollander is such a GREAT teacher! Her tests are easy...but go to class! Attendance usually counts for a whole test grade. She gives chances for extra credit too.
I loved this class. Dr. Hollander is a great teacher & I would recommend her to anyone. She has her own practice which makes her 10x more knowledgable about the material. She's funny & relates everything to real life situations or her own personal experience. Gives study guides & practice tests. AWESOME & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
She was very easy. She make psychology fun.She is very helpful and gives extra credit.
wonderful teacher. makes class very interesting by relating everything to life situations. Recommend this teacher.
Test are hard but go along with the notes, the W.Virginia accent is boring so beware. She tries to interest you but not too sucessful. There are better PSYCH 101 teachers.
There is no reason why anyone cannot do good in her class. I took her my first semester at slu at eight in the morning. To get us to come to class on fridays, she would give us bonus points for everyone who attended fridays classes. She would never pass a chance to give out bonus points! She was great.
She was an awesome teacher, I highly recommend her. She was very helpful when it came to test. She gave study guides and practice test. Just take notes in class and you'll do fine. She really made the class interesting!
she is a great teacher and very interesting she is very easy i loved her class go to class on friday she usually does fun days
She may be good at teaching psyc 101/102, but she's not so good at psyc 210. She was good the 1st part of the semester, but she decided that she "didnt like" the class average for the first and made the 2nd test ridiculously hard (class average was a D or low C). Her makeups are all short answer and she teaches straight from the book. Detailed exam
I took Dr. Hollander for Psyc 101. I thought she was a great teacher! Her tests are very easy if you go to class and pay attention. I hardly spent any time studying outside of class. She also loves to give extra credit to bring your great up. She is very nice and made the topic interesting! I would definately recommend her!
She is not too bad. Her test are pretty easy but the study guides throw you off sometimes so you kinda need to read the book as well as do the study guide. The information is interesting. DONT BE LATE FOR CLASS! she freaks out if you are 2 mins late. so if you're gonna be late just dont go! Make ups are short answer so dont miss any tests!!!!!
She is easy if you read your notes and the pages she assigns from the book. She doesn't cover a huge amount of stuff per test, so it's easier. Tests are straight forward. Do not be late or she will call you out infront of everyone. She is nice in class and is interesting.
She is very interesting, brings real life experiences to all topics which provides a very good understanding. Gives extra credit, I raised my grade from a B to an A with extra credit. Take her if you want a good grade.
She gives short exams, 25 questions or so. She is pretty straightforward, read the chapters before you go to class, make flash cards, do your extra credit work, and you should get an A. If you're lazy and don't like to attend lecture, you'll probably get a C or a D. Not a teacher to take if you want to slack off.
GREAT TEACHER! She really made class interesting! Gives lots of material, but if you do the study guide, read the book, and attend lecture its easy! Test are short. I was truly upset when i had to miss class due to illnes! Dr.Hollander is wonderful!
Dr. Hollander is a good teacher! She is very clear and makes the class interesting! You can tell she enjoys teaching. Her tests are very short (25 questions) but pretty easy. All you have to do is show up for class and take good notes. Although, don't show up late because she WILL put you on the spot in front of everyone...
Loved her! She is a great teacher to take if you like lectures. Gives examples and explains really well. Would love to take her again.
Excellent instructor - pay attention to the lectures and you will do really well
SHE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER! take her if you can!! she is very interested in what she teaches, has a lot of experience with the subject and is very knowledgable. gives lots of examples and has tons of interesting stories. take good notes and read the ch and you will pass. LOVE HER! i wish she taught 102
Her tests are annoying, especially if she doesn't give a study guide. She teaches her lectures from her own notes with no power points or anything, so be prepared to listen!
Fair teacher. She DOES NOT post her lectures or notes online so you have to attend class and take notes. Only grades are test grades, no additonal work. Always gives a study guide for each test with everything on it. Put some effort into studying, and you shouldn't have a problem getting an A.
very fair. gave a few opportunities for bonus. must attend class bc she doesnt post anything online. lots of notes for very short tests. 25 q's for tests and 50 q's for final. class could be boring sometimes but she tries to make it interesting. im an A student and spent hours studying for her exams and came out with a B in her class.
Fair teacher. I did not enjoy her class. I found it hard to want to attend. She makes it as interesting as she can. You will take plenty notes for small exams.
She is a great professor! She talks about case studies and her clients and it makes the material easy to understand. I enjoyed her class. She is witty and likes to have the class interact. I I would take her again for any psychology course.
Mrs. Hollander actually TEACHES. She will relate the lessons to real life and it makes her class interesting. She is very funny and she gives bonus for no reason sometimes. Her tests are not bad, i made C's and B's, and im not too intelligent. I'd take her for all the psychology's i could.
Gives great examples and study guides. she talks about her clients in class and it makes it easier to understand. she lectures off her notes and the book. but the book isn't bad at all to read out of.the test are short and multiple choice.when taking notes write the examples too because they maybe on the test.
I'm not really sure what teacher most of these other people had, but I got an A in the class and I still thought it was horrible. She gives very vague study guides and doesn't do any type of powerpoint. She just talks and you have to pick out what information she wants from 6 class periods for a 25 question test. I would never recommend her
I have no idea how people have rated this professor as anything but HORRIBLE. She is consistently vague & makes up guidelines AFTER assignments are turned in. She is forgetful and can't keep track of which class she is teaching. Her grading is completely subjective & follows no syllabus. As a grad student, she is the worst professor I have taken.
Very clear with the information and will help with any question
Hottttie!!!!! fun lectures.
Excellent teacher, knows her stuff. Explains things clearly and is easy to understand. Very smart lady!!
Very awesome teacher great lectures and quite the looker.
Absolutely love Mrs.Hollander! I have taken her class twice so far and she is the only Psych. professor that helps me understand Psychology to the fullest. Her class is straight forward and the tests are derived straight from the text book and class notes, there are no tricks to her tests. She gives us time to go over information that we do not understand, and makes things easier to comprehend by giving us situations from her life to compare to what we are learning. Trust me, take her class!
Great teacher! knows her stuff and is good at explaining the material. very funny, keeps class interesting. i would take her for every psyc class if i could. i highly suggest her. she is very helpful if you dont understand something. overall, GREAT! If you show up for class, and make an effort to learn (not memorize the material) you'll do well.
She has a wonderful but very dry sense of humor. She may seem tough but she's fair. She loves class discussion when the students are interested in the topic, so students shouldn't be afraid to speak up.
Works well with students. Explains material well.
I loved this teacher. She was funny, but clear and nothing was on the test that wasn't discussed in class. She was fair and I had an easy job with her tests. She really tries to help the class as a whole to succeed.
The class is relatively easy, but the tests only have 30 questions, so you can't afford to miss many. However, she does give a few assignments and there is a paper that can help your grade. She also counts attendance occasionally as extra credit, so try not to miss. It's very possible to get an A or B in this class.
Great teacher. She really knows what she is talking about. If you study regularly then you will make a good grade.
She is a very interesting teacher. The class was not a blowoff class at all. But it was an enjoyable class. She explains the material in a way that anyone can understand. I would take her again!
I loved this teacher! She's so patient with her students, especially when people feel the need share with the class. She's incredibly down to earth and helpful, and her class is really informative. I learned so much. Her tests aren't a breeze, but they're very fair. She's probably one of my favorite professors at SLU.
Amazing teacher! I learned a lot in her class! She loves interacting with her students so make sure you readskim the chapters before hand, if not she gets aggravated. The only bad thing was the final exam study guide. All of her other guides were really helpful, but the final wasn't at all. Make sure you study everything not just the study guide.
Took as online course. Participation requires minimum of 2 responses to discussions and videos per week. She keeps you up to date on what is expected. Tests weren't bad, but you have to read the book. She gives a study guide for each test and the final.
Hate her class. Very few point. She is confusing even if you understand.
Not the best psychology teacher on campus. Try someone else if you can.
Her test are insanely difficult. The material is simple and very easy but test questions aren't clear in any way and they are about 25-30 questions only! I made an A in Physiological psych class yet i could hardly maintain a C. So if you're looking for a high grade i suggest you take someone else.
As someone who keeps up with the readings, her lectures are insufficient and inadequate.
Dr. Hollander was one of my favorites. She always told stories about her children or patients to help us remember concepts. Lectures could be a little long, but she usually cracks a few jokes (with a dry sense of humor). Reading helped understand the material. Test material covered in the lectures, and she gave a study guide.
She made the last submission. She is not "hilarious" or remotely funny.
Dr. Hollander is a must take! She has her own counseling practice, so she knows her stuff! She has great lectures full of her own experiences. You will need to take a lot of notes. Study guide for every exam. Each exam is about 25 questions multiple choice. Go to class!!! She is a wonderful and intelligent woman who puts passion into what she does!
She made the last submission. She should stick to private practice. She can't teach.
Actually a really interesting class. She uses examples from actual people she treated to help you understand. Test are pretty much straight forward. Study guides do help, but it's best to read over all the notes. As long as you go to class and take good notes you'll easily pass. I would definitely take Dr. Hollander again!
I enjoyed this class and Dr. Hollander's lectures, but her tests were horrible and she did not give many chances for points. Many of the questions had multiple answers that could have been correct and I seriously question whether her scantron answer key was completely accurate. Not to mention she doesn't round up, which I think is completely unfair
Dr, Hollander was a great teacher! You can make a A in this class if you are welling to put the work in. You're gonna have to read the chapter she assigns, I read them two times. The first test I made a B but all the others I made an A. Oh, and DO NOT just study by her study guides. Know ALL your notes
I loved Dr. Hollander's class so much! She uses alot of real world examples which makes the material easier to understand. She gives study guides for every test. Some questions on the test come from the notes though so dont just rely on the study guide. She's not a hard teacher as long as you actually participate and study your notes
She's not nice. Locks you out the class if you aren't there when it starts. Beware on test day. Tests are hard and nothing like the study guide she gives. Its all examples on her tests that are taken from key concepts so good luck. Oh and she doesnt round up, AT ALL.
If you are not in class you will not pass, just plain and simple. The class was very simple for me and it could be for you too. Just go to the lectures, she will give you ways of remembering information that you cannot come up with yourself and then use those examples as test questions. Read, read, and read.
I really enjoyed this class! She is definitely no walk in the park when it comes to tests, so be prepared to work. I read the textbook, and notes before every exam, and maintained an A on two of her exams and two Bs on her other two exams. She is very smart, and she was an inspiration to me. I do not think I have ever learned so much psych. before.
Going to class is crucial because things she says in class will be on the test. Gives study guides but most of the time half the test is not on the study guide. Gave bonus points for coming to class at times. Best to read the chapters
I loved professor hollanders class. She truly helps you understand the concept of what is going on. You do have to show up to class though because she will put stuff on the test that she says in class and cannot be found in the textbook. I would definitely recommend her to people and take her class again!
To sum it up Hollander is pretty chill. In 101 she doesn't give homework or quizzes he class is strictly TESTS. She doesn't drop your lowest test grade either so be aware of that. She rarely gives extra credit opportunities but when she does its best to take them She also has her own practice so it's kind of hard to see her 1on1 GO TO CLASS
Ms. Hollander a great professor , I would definitely take her class again. I learned a lot nd truly enjoy the class as a whole.
I hate the way she teach. We only get graded by our test and I personally thinks that's wrong. The test are hard and nothing like the study guide. i would never take her again!!!!!!!!!
she gives study guide and everything on that is what is on the test.
Sit in the front and take good notes, and you can make an easy A and learn some interesting stuff. She has funny stories and allows for questions anytime, but do not talk in class. She often ends class early too.
Her lectures are super interesting. Mandatory to attend class to receive the notes. She posts study guides and they are exactly what's on the exams, but you must know what's on the study guide very, very well. Super nice, but doesn't like you to come to class late, especially for exams. She'll call you out in front of the class. Super nice & funny.
She doesn't count participation in class, but the notes are a big deal for the tests. Her lectures are interesting. At the beginning of the year she said that her A students read the chapter 2x and take good notes, it's so true! READ THE CHAPTER. She takes a while to respond to emails, so if you have a question it's better to ask her after class.
SHE IS GREAT!!! I loved her energetic lectures! She gives plenty of real life examples! She gives a lot of bonus opportunity! If you study the study guide you'll do great! And if you do slip up there is bonus!
She is a great professor, I really enjoyed her class! There are 4 tests and a final. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunity! You have to attend class to make a good grade because she gives a lot of examples that help you and asks questions on the test from lectures. She's really amazing, loved her!
She was an outstanding professor and I would take her again a million times. She combines her lectures with a lot of real world situations she's encountered which makes class extremely interesting and the curriculum very easy to understand.
i love this lady!!! she gave such good life examples and it helped you understand it a lot better. i would definitely take this lady again.
Great professor! Super easy lectures to follow with interesting stories. Gives study guides out for each test and if you stuff you can get an A
Loved her class!
Highly recommend
I loved her class! She gives very interesting lectures with her personal experience. The material is easy to follow because she explains things well. If you go to class, take your notes, and study, there is no reason to do badly. The only assignments are the tests, but the questions are covered in her lectures. She posts the study guides on Moodle
Her lectures are really interesting and she gives study guides which is great but you must read the textbook if you want an A not everything is in the study guide. Read the chapters and do the study guide thoroughly for each exam!
I love Dr. Hollander. She moves around throughout the room as she speaks which helps keep the lecture engaging. She gives a lot of examples and stories related to the content which really helps in making sense of some concepts. Lab is so much easier than 223, and the class content is similar in difficulty, but is explained much better!
I loved her class! She used lots of examples and made the material interesting and easy to understand!
I love taking her class. She is a great professor. She makes the class very interesting with her stories and her examples. She gives you study guides for each test, which are helpful. Although, you need to read the textbook too. If you go to class and read the textbook you will get an A
I felt like no matter how many notes I took in class, it didn't matter. The only way for you to pass the class is if you read the textbook. I wouldn't recommend her.
Dr. Hollander is an amazing professor. Her lectures are really enjoyable and I actually looked forward to this class (it was an 8am which says a lot). Her tests are pretty straight forward with whatever is on the study guide she gives out. She says to read the textbook but I rarely did and still passed with a good grade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!
I took this online & it was very easy. She post a new chapter every week to cover & you have until the following week to respond to the two discussion boards. The test were 30 questions & were timed to 40-50 minutes. She answers any questions you have through email. You will have to read the book for the material but she does post notes sometimes.
Interesting when lecturing.
She doesn't give study guides and be ready to take a lot of notes.
Omg I love this lady!! She is very helpful, she knows her material well and a very friendly and a beautiful person!! If you go to class, read the textbook, you will do fine! She will help you if she sees that you try!! I would definitely recommend her!! I miss her dearly
Decent professor overall but didn't round up a 89.8 to an A :( Does not realize students are struggling during the coronavirus and still won't help students out when this semester is far from normal.
Her lectures really help put into perspective what you are learning. She gives study guides the day before the test, in my experience sometimes they worked and sometimes they were nothing like the test. Tests are 30 questions. You have revel quizzes for each chapter, and psychology enrichment credits. She offers 4 bonus points as well.
Weekly forums and two SHORT papers with exams!
Just dont take her. She doesnt care about her students at all. I tried to communicate with her many times, and she blew me off every time. Also, her tests dont really make sense. I relied heavily on previous knowledge from other psych classes. I can wholeheartedly say I didnt learn a thing in that class. It just isnt worth it.
This is literally the worse professor at Selu. Her tests are so inconsistent and crazy. Literally everyone in my class does bad on every test. She doesnt teach and gives you YouTube videos to watch that have nothing to do with the test. Avoid her at all costs!!!!!
dont be fooled by the good rating she has on here. Im taking her online and it is the worst psychology class Ive ever taken! she doesnt give any type of notes to let us know what will be on the test all she does is tell us to read a book and then take a test. her tests dont make sense whatsoever even if you read the book from front to back.
WORST COMMUNICATOR EVER!! She puts in the syllabus that the forums that she posts are used for participation points (which I did all of them) and still received a 56/100 on participation. When I asked her about it, she said you should have posted twice on each every week THIS WAS NOT IN THE SYLLABUS!! Everything is inconsistent and does not care
DO NOT TAKE HER! She gives the most inconsistent and confusing tests. The way she words the questions and answers sets students up for failure. DO NOT EXPECT HER TO GIVE FULL PARTICIPATION. I completed all but 4 forums and received a 50/100 in participation points and when I emailed her should would not explain her grading process . TERRIBLE PROF.
Dr. Hollander is a horrible professor! She gives test and doesnt inform her students what to study for. she is a horrible communicator and extremely rude!! She gives videos that have nothing to do with the test and her test are worded to fail you! You will not learn anything in this class! PLEASE AVOID HER!!!
Worst professor I ever had. Doesn't give lectures, only gives us chapters in the textbook to read and her exams don't make sense. No study guide or anything. Super rude and unfair. Don't take her!!!
Her online class is pretty easy. She uses a program called revel that is worth 60 pts to prepare for each exam its easy points and helps you study .You have to sign up for online surveys to earn 4 credits throughout the semester worth 40pts. 4 exams total. weekly discussion. Just participate and you will pass !
Great teacher! There were little readings and videos to watch before you did the discussion posts (on average, 3ish). There are 4 exams that are not proctored (the exams are straightforward if you read up on the material given). You also have homework and 4 surveys. She should not have such a low rating she was an amazing and easy teacher!
This was probably one of the easiest psyc courses I have ever taken. She presented a clear grading criteria and allowed students to work ahead if needed to. I took her in the fall of my junior year of college. I enjoyed the class, but be ready for lots of homework.
