She gives out a lot of work. It isn't that difficult, but you can't really slack off. You need to come to class or else she'll drop you and come on time. She isn't very clear about the assignments and doesn't explain them. She assumes you know how to do them when sometimes you don't. She was an okay teacher.

This professor is really bad at managing time and staying on track. There are a lot of assignments, although they are small and seem easy, they accumulate and its really easy to fall behind. Every big assignment/project was clumped into the last month of the semester -- VERY INCONVENIENT. The professor herself is understanding/personable though.

Beware if you are looking for a College Level course. Way too many "creative" projects (creating things from clay; PP's pretending you are a teacher). Every week is full of required long videos that just regurgitate the same info from the book. Really dislike the projects - prefer to write essays/reflections since this is a college course.

I took her class but ended up withdrawing. Although the class seems simple, you sort of teach yourself things. She wants you to read all the chapters (about 40 pages a week) & PP are directly from textbook. She gives her number for you to text her, which is helpful. I just don't retain info by reading a bunch of pages.

This professor seems to be all over the place when giving instructions on exactly what she wants from you. She gives so called "grace periods" because the assignments, instructions, projects and meetings are so overwhelming. Even worse, the class is asynchronous, but places us in groups to meet synchronous on pronto. I really wish I could drop.

I took this class because it was supposed to be asynchronous but she BUT SHE WANTS ME TO COORDINATE WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO MEET ONLINE does this prof not know what asynchronous means? All of my group members have busy lives hence the reason we took this supposedly asynchronous course we have to take time off work to meet. ugh

I signed up for the online asynchronous class yet she requires you to meet with your assigned group every week at a certain date and time. not a true asynchronous class. lots of assignments every week.

This professor was assigned to me by my counselor and I wish I could go back in time and have myself pick instead. This was an online course yet she still made us do group work, if you're working 6-7 days a week this class is not for you, I learned the hard way. Also her grading is super passive-aggressive.

Not asynchronous, you are required to arrange time to meet with groups and coordinate schedules with 4 other people. The coursework can get overwhelming if you don't stay on top of the schedule. I mainly enjoyed the edpuzzle videos.

If you plan on taking this class and you have a busy schedule, DON'T! This class is listed as being asynchronous, but they forget to mention the group meetings every week. Although a lot of the work is easy, it barely feels like you're learning anything.

Do not take her async class if you actually want it to be async. She has required meetings every few weeks for credit. She is confusing in her lectures, rambles, and is passive aggressive in the unhelpful comments that she puts on asssignments. She is also unresponsive when you reach out for help.

Despite the course being listed as async, she has required group meetings every few weeks. She also assigns a lot of busy work that is not super relevant to the course material, and I didn't learn a lot from her course.

Lost points because in one of her online interactive lectures she asked a question that said “do you want to hear one of my personal examples of this?” with the answers “yes” and “not really.” i picked yes and was incorrect. Like why are you messing with your students, what is the point of your class?

Me and other students are filing complaints to the dean. She marks you wrong for no reason, she has us meet synchronous when it's supposed to be asynchronous for group projects. Meaningless busywork assignments. Do whatever it takes to find a different professor.

Group Projects were 3/10; it depends on your group. I recommend putting your name on your own work if you want the full points and doing the work ahead of time. Besides that, online lectures were solid (Edpuzzle/Playposit); she tests your knowledge throughout the video. Textbook is not required; she shares photos of the pages. No Final Exam.

Prof. O. was so chill! The entire course was set up around 1 big project (Research Portfolio) People in the rates are upset about group work (zoom meetings for 30 min) My group was understanding and accommodating with zoom times - & it literally pertained to the LRP. Not an issue for me but might be for others. Great class and hella insightful!

This professor seemed like she really meant well, BUUUUT she gives way too much work. Her class is too intense for a child development class. She gives you a big project that is very time consuming from start to finish of the course on top of tons of assignment to complete during the week. She also grades harshly. I wouldn't recommend taking her.

I really enjoyed this class! You will have to meet with an assigned group every week but it makes the assignment easier with multiple people. I would just make sure you have time for that before signing up. I enjoyed the lectures and edpuzzles, she has a great sense of humor and talks at a great pace. Easy to get a hold of, leaves good feedback.

CLASS IS DOABLE, however the workload in this class is overwhelming!! I often am completing tasks to finish, not to learn. Mandatory Pronto meetings with others weren't disclosed when enrolling (async btw) and group work can be difficult when others don't participate. For an INTRO psych class, the expectations feel way too excessive.

Asynchronous usually means no meetings, but this class requires recorded Pronto group sessions. Not ideal for anyone with a busy schedule. It's not hard, just overloaded with work to the point I'm going through the motions. Honestly, I put more effort into writing this than the class assignments.
