She is very helpful, very clear about everything, and super down to earth. You do need to study for the tests but if you study the chapters in the book and the review you will do fine. I liked the class and I'd definitely recommend Jennifer as a prof! :)

Jennifer is seriously awesome! She keeps class so interesting, doesn't just sit up there and talk the entire time. You watch videos that are actually worth your while and she has a lot of class discussion. She was my favorite teacher so far, just because of how cool she was, down to earth, and she's a younger lady who actually understands us!!

She is a great professor that is willing to work with you if you do not understand her expectations. Also, she is very understanding and will give you extensions if need be. You need to study for her tests, but otherwise a pretty easier grader. One research paper on a topic of your choice and then several small writings that are only one page long

Dr. Parker is always willing to help and clarify something if it doesn't make sense. She says materials for the tests will come from lecture and the book, but 95% of the test material is from lecture and is found on the study guide she hands out. Can be a tough grader on the longer papers you write.

There is a lot of content covered in class which can make it difficult and create long lectures. Parker does a really good job of adding in stories and discussions to the lectures making them easier to sit through. She understands that there is a lot to learn in the class and always offers help on clarifying concepts. Overall great professor!

Dr. Parker is very nice and helpful, but to me, she expected a lot out of a 1-credit intro class. There were a few big projects with really specific criteria which was tough, but the class met only once a week, so that was okay. She got sick a lot when I had her, so she was cancelling class a lot which screwed up the schedule, but overall she's ok!

I had a great experience with Dr. Parker. She has a great voice that is easy to listen to and I liked that she did in-class psych studies. She gives interesting examples in class. Her exams were taken right off the study guide and if you went to her TA's study sessions you'd pass. However, she often didn't get through all the material before exams.

All assignments in this class are helpful to the student's life and decisions. Not too much material actually covered. Very focused on self-exploration.

Dr. Parker is definitely not as bad as everyone makes her out to be. She's super nice, helpful, and understanding. Her tests are tough - IF you don't read the textbook! LOOK AT THE TEXTBOOK SUMMARIES BEFORE EACH EXAM. They are EXTREMELY helpful, because she WILL pull things out of the book that she didn't discuss in class.

Not all assignment/quizzes were entirely necessary or relevant to the purpose of the course. Overall, Parker knows what she is talking about and is helpful. Follow the syllabus so you know what to expect because she doesn't always tell you before hand--not that it is her responsibility to do so.

Dr. Parker was a good professor, easy grader, clear expectations. Psych 101 in particular is so easy and was honestly a waste of my time. I wouldn't take the class unless you have to for your major.

I really enjoyed Professor Parker. I feel like a lot of the comments on this page are about the workload for Psych101 but in all honesty I thought it was VERY manageable considering you only have class once a week. When she assigns articles and projects, she gives you 1-2 week advance notice so there's plenty of time to complete the work.

Great teacher. Very nice and respectable woman and gives clear expectations. Tests are a little tough but she does give helpful study guides and everything else you need to get a good grade. Study hard and you will get the grade you deserve. Learn APA format thoroughly to do well on her papers!!

Dr. Parker is very caring of her students. The class was very simple and she explained everything so nicely. You always know what you need to do and when. The homework given is simple if you just sit down and do it. The class was very helpful for me.

LOVE DR. PARKER! she is my favorite prof. she is so caring with ALL of her students. This class was very simple and a very easy A. She gives extra credit as well. She really tries to have all of her students succeed. I would 100% recommend her

I really enjoyed Jennifer's class. She's super kind hearted inside and outside of class. Enjoyed her lectures and outside classwork is not bad at all if you put effort in.

She could do more to get students involved during lecture, but she keeps you busy taking notes. She lectures out of the book, but you need to read because a large portion of of the tests, which are on D2L, aren't covered by the lecture. She is very specific about assignment guidelines and won't accept anything that does't follow them exactly.

If you're not interested in the subject you'll have a hard time with the class. But if you're interested in the topic then it'll make things easier. She does talk for most of the class but that's how most psych classes are. She didn't give too much direction for when we had to write a group paper, overall it's not a challenging class to do well in.

Since this class was only once a week you have to show up to every class or your grade will suffer. She is very good at giving feedback on papers and answering questions in class. She is very nice and understanding.

Best professor I've ever had. It's not a particularly hard or easy class but she makes it extremely interesting. Very interactive.

She tries to get class involvement (which is hard in a lecture hall). She grades things fairly and is incredibly intelligent. She is more than willing to talk to you about questions and is very approachable.

I really liked Professor Parker! She's really sweet, passionate about her subject, and makes lectures very interesting. She offered extra credit, and you didn't have to come to class if you had to watch a documentary or take an exam (all her exams are online). Her exams were pretty hard, but don't rush and do the readings and you should do fine.

Dr. Parker is a great professor. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you don't go you won't understand the concepts. I thought that the class was super interesting and since she's a younger professor, she really cares about her students and them doing well in the class. I 100% recommend her as a psych 280 prof

Not really sure why she gets such bad reviews. If you're like me and don't find psych particularly interesting and would more than likely fall asleep in the in-class version, then take it online with Jennifer. Don't let these other reviews scare you away; if you like to work ahead and can apply some self-discipline, then this is your class.

I relally liked prof. Parker but she was tough. Make sure that you do the readings for quizzes in her class. We had discussions about the reading before taking the quiz but it was still necessary to read. Attendance is key. No make-up work is accepted unless there are emergent circumstances and she WILL give you a zero. She also cancels class often

Jennifer is super understanding. She really just wants the best for everyone and for them to get the best out of their education. She does take forever to reply on email though.

Dr Parker is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter of any class she teaches. She is attentive, responsive, and very organized. Her grading criteria, outlines and expectations are clear and she returns grades to students faster than any other professor I have had. I have taken two courses with her and I plan to take more.

I have taken several classes with Professor Parker and have found her to be very organized, communicative, flexible, consistent and kind. She is a passionate, engaging, and knowledgeable lecturer. She ends up canceling class sometimes, but this is often due to health issues beyond her control and she always keeps the class on track despite this.

This class was very easy and something I would highlyly recommend if you are a psych major and need to take for upper division classes. It was really easy and the textbook was easy to understand the material.

I would recommend taking this class if it is a requirement for an upper division psych class or just an upper division class in-general. I used quizlet for a lot of the quizzes that I took. The discussions are easy and use the textbook for a lot of them.

This was an online course so I never actually interacted with Prof Parker, but I enjoyed the class. Every week you read a chapter of the textbook and did a 10 question worksheet, 30 question quiz, and something else like a discussion post or documentary worksheet. Very easy, no video lectures.

I'm very surprised by Dr. Parkers ratings on here. I thought this class was very well planned and pretty easy. Wasn't too difficult if you did the readings and look at her slides. A few homework assignments that were fun, a concept quiz each week (unlimited attempts), and a quiz each week. Do the reading and you will get an A.

This online course is pretty easy and I would recommend taking it with Professor Parker! Each week there is a chapter to read, a concept check with unlimited attempts, a short and timed quiz, and a short content-related assignment.There were often grading mistakes on quizzes, but she always gave points back right away when she was made aware.

I took this class online over three weeks and it was totally manageable. You have a quiz/worksheet every day but they strictly follow the chapter correlating with them- super straight forward. I absolutely recommend taking it!
