Awsome teacher, she makes the class interesting and gives examples that are easy to relate to for better comprehension of the subject.
Her notes and tests take a bit to get used to but are nothing out of the ordinary.She is always happy and enthusiastic for class and uses great examples and pictures. A great prof. overall!
awesome class! she gives great examples, no surprises on tests,enjoys her job! Loved this class!
Jennifer Stamp is an awesome professor. Her social psychology course is great. I highly recommend it!
Excellent prof
Hard course, Good prof
Great prof, relevant examples of real life stuff, and really down to earth.
Jen is pricesless. Top notch prof, like no other.
Fabulous, fun, funny, fantastic!
AWESOME!
Awesome prof! Who else would use a photo of her ****en self with a basket on her head to illustrate the effects of alcohol in her lectures?!
great prof!
Wicked Prof! Easy exams and a good lecturer
Her humor makes you want to go to class.
Amazing prof. Hilarious! Entertaining! She shares her real life experiences with you which stick in your head. Lectures are a pleasure to go to and the midterms and exams were easy. I recommend any course taught by her.
She's awesome! really straightforward. really good at grabbing your attention. Often funny completely by accident. I absolutely recommend her!
Love the teacher, no surprises. She is funny and makes the class interesting. Her midterm was very fair, best mark I ever got in psych.
Prof Stamp is definetly the coolest and best prof I've had at Dal thus far! She clarifies the work so well and thoroughly throughout the lectures in a way which everybody can understand. She had got a wicked sense of humour, while being brilliant, down to earth and extremely helpful!! 5*****!
Doesn't get any better. Her examples were so funny you couldn't help learning and wanting to go to her class. Exam's were fair but who remebers the exmas after taking her class.
Cannot say enough good things about her! TAKE HER CLASS! I drag myself out of bed just to go to her class....she hilarious and will have you cracking up guaranteed, her examples are funny and help you to understand..she knows her stuff and makes it interesting..she's the best
I agree, Dr. Stamp's halarious!! She's never boring, always entertaining...everyone should take this course...look forward to having her next year
Stamp is really good. Hands down.
SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!! One of the most amazing profs. Young and energetic even in morning classes. Tests are reasonable and the material is very well organized. She makes everything so clear and so interesting that her lectures are more like informative stand up comedy.
Great prof! I took this as a complusary for my science credit and loved it! Really enthusiastic, very funny, makes things really easy to understand, and super interesting. Great way to learn intro pysch (her other classes are good too). Highly recommended!
Definitly an awesome prof, explains clearly, has good examples, and is really funny. I really liked how you weren't responsible for material that she didn't cover in class, and how she put the class notes on webct. Take her course it's the best!
Dr. Stamp is an awsome prof!!! I just wish I could give more than one hot chili pepper ;)B
Great prof. She's nice, funny and a good teacher. she's good looking too. Yeah.
Very hot, very nice, very good prof.
AMAZING!!!! she was the best prof I had in my first year, very, very funny and extremly interesting. definitly take one of her courses!
she was amazing
one of the best profs. great lectures and knows how to command the stage. great to look at... very stunning, which makes focusing on her class a bit hard, espcially when she wears those tight sweaters! her oral exams are quite enjoyable and she is always open for her students who need extra attention
Awesome professor. Has a great ability to keep the class interested in the lecture material. Can make the most boring topic stay in your mind with help of cool examples from history.
Great prof, great class. Exams are easy as long as you pay attention to the notes, I never used the book once.
I hate no idea why everyone is in love with this teacher. I found her very boring and completely unfunny. She talked way too fast through her lecture, leaving people not much time to copy down anything. I dispised her and was very angry to find myself stuck in two sections with her. Very unsatisfying.
Had her the whole year, and it was the best class. Of course she is not going to wait for people to write down the notes. Who does? But anyway, she's a great teacher, very clear, awesome stories, very knowledgeable and interested in her subject, and it shows. Friendliest teacher, for sure.
She was the best prof in DISP 06 I had. Great at keeping your attention and making the class very interesting, no matter what it was on. My only fear is that she is such a good prof, that I'll go and find out that I actually don't like psych, that I just liked the prof... that happened with chem...
Great class, great prof. No complaints!
Hands down, the most competant prof in the program. Interesting speaker, accessible, and gives manageable tests! Has lots of anecdotes to expand on concepts taught in class. Her labs are fun, or at least as much as DISP labs get...
Good prof and hot
The best prof ive had at Dal
Best prof i've seen so far. She made the subject matter easy to understand using her humor. Her jokes were relevant enough that you learned the material because you had her jokes in your head. Her class was the type that you wanted to go to. Her tests are fair, if you read over her notes you will have the information needed to do well.
best prof in psych hands down...funny how she always talks bout her turkish husband, and everything else she says...
how was social psychology set up? Papers and Midterms??
I loved her dry wit, very funny. Voice a tad annoying, but after the first class didnt really care about it. Very informative and easy to listen to without falling asleep
I'm not even enrolled in psych, and I've sat in on every one of her lectures this semester... amazing prof.
take her 2nd year social psyc class. its a little repetitve but easy and very interesting. shes hilarious too!
Her sense of humor kept me somewhat interested during her class. Social is easy, considering it's mainly a review of Intro Psych. Going to class definitely helps, as her funny examples are easy to remember and help explain concepts. Her online lectures are also pretty hard to follow if you weren't in class to find out what she's talking about.
Holds your attention with her hilarious stories & unique voice. You can do great just studying her notes without cracking the book, but you have to go to class to supplement her online notes. They're in bulleted form online so print them off before going to class. Watch out for detail-questions on tests, but mostly straight forward from the notes.
Best Prof I've had at Dal. Always kept class interesting with her hilarious sarcasm, material was extremely interesting, and her tests were incredibly easy. You COULD not go to class and just read the notes to get a good mark, but why would you when her class is so entertaining?
Amazing Proffessor! One on my favorites at dal! You sit there and listen to her lectures and just laugh. She covers all the necessary information and makes class fun (plus keeps you awake).Her tests are a little difficult, make sure you know all of the information from your notes and books. Study the results from the experiments and know your stuff
Dr. Stamp is a wonderful prof. She is great with relating the material in class to everyday experiences, especially in social psych. Definitely one of the great professors at Dalhousie. Her classes are always funny and interesting.
Stamp is wonderful! She is really funny and she relates everything to personal experiences, so that it is easier for you to remember. Take as many classes as you can with ehr because she is so interesting! Always makes things enjoyable.
Great professor in every way possible! Very enjoyable lectures and very humorous!
Professor Stamp makes me laugh at least three times a lecture. I get such a kick out of her.
MARVELOUS.
Awesome prof
Great Prof. Speaks well and is very entertaining. She loves what she does and it's contagious. I really enjoyed her class. Definitely best prof in Psyc1011
Dr Stamp is an amazing prof. I took this class partially because it was required but also because I knew she would be teaching it.I never missed a lecture because I enjoyed going to class so much. She is so funny and makes you feel comfortable asking a question. If you can take a class with her. The best prof I've had so far.
Best professor I had this year. So interesting and entertaining, and was very knowledgeable about many areas of the course (introductory psych). I never thought of psych as interesting, and I am now majoring in it. Professor Stamp really makes the subject interesting. Her tests aren't too hard if you read the textbook and attend lectures.
Fabulous! Passionate, clear and very interesting. I loved going to her class because it was really entertaining :)
"I love papers with question marks...My goal is to publish a paper with an exclamation mark!" Gotta love her
Stamp Is great! She loves teaching and is super passionate about the brain and all its parts. Lots to memorize and read the book for supporting documents..just go with the slides. You can tell she's a smart women by how fast she talks but nonetheless is so interesting.
I loved Jennifer Stamp. She made her lectures interesting by incorporating relevant and entertaining stories. Very versed in her field, which is refreshing. Interesting subject matter, interesting professor and an overall good time.
Pretty average. Didn't really expand too much on the textbook but wasn't entirely frustrating.
Dr. Stamp is an average professor but makes up for it in her wit and humour. I think she's more intelligent than she lets on, since she kind of dumbs down the class. One thing I don't like is that she NEVER knows the answers to any questions asked. Almost seems like she just learned what she needed to to teach the course. Good quizzes and exam.
She was awesome. Brain and Behaviour has a lot of pop quizzes so it's important to keep up in class/readings. she's my favourite prof this year. extremely helpful--i was sick from the flu and she gave me extensions without having to bug about them. really funny and loves what she teaches
She is an amazing, wonderful, and extremely funny professor! She made me fall in love with psych. When I was in intro psych 3 years ago, she fueled my interest in psych because she was SO funny and easy to talk to, you couldn't HELP but WANT to learn. I just absolutely love her. She's a wonderful, amazing professor, and just as wonderful a person.
Good teacher, annoying voice though. Lectures arepretty interesting, nothing amazingor awful to say about her really.
One of the best profs I've ever had. She made psychology very interesting and the lectures were easy to listen to. Exams were fair and in-class quizzes were helpful. I would definitely take another one of her classes!
Great prof! Interesting to listen to and her tests are easier than ones we had from people earlier in the year!
Really wonderful professor. Very clear in her explanations. One thing I found to be the best was that some of the info is a bit difficult, but the tests are extremely fair. It makes this class A LOT less stressful and much more enjoyable!
AMAZING PROF!!! Can't say how much I loved her!! She was very enthuastic and loved the material!!! She's the best prof I've had so far!!
My favorite prof! She is super funny and she made all of her lectures very interesting. I'll probably take a couple more of her psych courses as electives just because she's awesome!!!
VERY HELPFUL! FAV PSYCH PROF ALL YEAR! :) SUCH AN AMAZING PROFESSOR WHO REALLY STIMULATED ME TO LEARN!
Incredible professor. She made class fun. Class was always interesting. She clearly has a passion for psychology & it definitely helps her student's learning. She goes off on tangents but it's always interesting & links back to the material. She's organized and helpful.
Amazingly helpful
One of the best prof's at dal period . She is funny,informative and actually makes the material interesting, and you can tell she actually cares about the students unlike alot of the other profs at dal. Best profesor I have ever had!
I am in my 4th year at Dal, and Dr. Stamp is probably the best prof I have ever had. She is a great teacher and she's hilarious. If you can, definitely take one of her classes (I wish I could take more!). She is a fair marker (not easy, but if you pay attention, you'll do fine), and she is very helpful :)
Awesome. Funniest, clearest prof ever. Exam questions are especially concise and fair.
She was awesome! out of the 3 profs that taught me in the course, she managed to capture my attention. She's funny and lively, she makes it really easy for you to listen. Her exams aren't hard as long as you study ofc.. overall, the course was splendid
Jen is amazing, she was my psych prof and my research project supervisor. Wile she sometimes goes off on tangents, they typically are pertinent and funny. She makes the class really interesting and posts the slides to compliment the book. One of my favourite professors at Dal.
She's so helpful. Can't wait for second semester with her! Gonna be a show!
amazing
Stamp was a great professor, she posted all her lecture recordings online, and always kept us engaged and interested in what she was talking about. She was even one of the authors for the textbook!
Jennifer Stamp is a phenomenal professor. She is funny, engaging, and very approachable. Really made the course enjoyable and fair for both BA and BSc students.
For such a large class size in Psyo 1011, I still find it easy to focus and understand the material. I look forward to going to class on psych days.
Some days I hurt from laughing. Dr Stamp really knows her stuff and knows how to teach it even better!
I took both intro to psychology 1 and 2. Stamp is one of my favourite profs! She's good at teaching and knows her stuff. She's also hilarious and super nice!
Probably my favourite prof, ever. I'm a psych major and I'm going to take as many of her classes as I can. She's a newfie and you can tell - super nice, enthusiastic, funny. She's an expert on her topics and if you do the readings, attend (really only for the videos and examples ) review them you will get an A.
Great prof if you have the opportunity to have her-clear, easy to understand, interesting information and very funny in class-gets everyone engaged. Also very helpful with questions over email and in class, exams are fair and you will be fine if you do the work!
I guess I'm going to be the odd man out, but I left for UToronto to earn my psych degree because I wanted more. I thought Dal's first year was regression, in that it offered nothing but basics, and an online version of the class now? Haha no, not for that tuition. She was very full of herself, trying to push HER book, HER online program. Not for me
Yeah so easily my absolute FAVOURITE prof and I'm not even majoring in psych. Im getting my animal behaviour certificate so I need to take some psych classes and man.. just love her! She is a hoot and a half, knows how to make her lectures fun and relates them to things that we, as students, are experiencing, and looks at the students as equals!
Great prof. Had her for Psych 1011 and 1012. Midterms are easy as long as you keep up with readings. Don't have to show up to class because of online recordings. Lectures can be boring at times but she'll crack a few jokes here and there to keep you awake. Would have her again!
Best prof I've had so far!! Super funny in lecture :)
So funny and makes class interesting
Dr. Stamp is my favourite professor so far. I listen to her lectures and go to class but she makes the material so fun and interesting its actually fun to study for. I'm so glad I have her again next semester.
Great sense of humour and does her best to relate the material to real life situations
Dr. Stamp is one of my favourite profs. She is such a hoot, making the material more interesting and memorable. She also really knows what she's talking about (she wrote the textbook!)
Totally fair and makes life easy for you if you're willing to work hard. The exam is split into 3 exams over the semester that aren't cumulative, so if that's not the nicest thing a prof can do for you, I don't know what is.
If you see a class that's taught by Stamp take it. She is not there to hand you grades but if you really engage and study you can easily succeed. DISP could use more profs like her honestly. She seemed to be the only truly organized one and you can bet her testing is fair, she even gives hints as to what to expect in class. 10/10
Jen Stamp is a great prof. She is passionate about what she teaches. She records her lectures which is great and she's hilarious. Her voice is a little annoying but you get used to it. Barely needed to use the textbook
She is a great professor. If you want to pass however you should do as she says, read the textbook and go to the lectures.
Hilarious lectures that grabs your attention
While you can manage to do well in Dr. Stamp's class without attending lectures, it is worthwhile to do so, she's a very engaging professor and she really cares about whether her students understand the material or not. Very knowledgeable and approachable, and she even wrote some of the textbook she uses, amazing prof!
Professor Stamp is one of the best Psych and Neuro teachers around. She's hilarious and genuinely cares about whether or not you're learning something. For this class she went over the general concepts and ideas behind the brain and made sure you remembered them. The textbook was definitely relevant but if you didn't get it it's okay. Best Prof.
Really funny and down to earth
Hands down best prof in neuro/psych dept. Organized, funny as heck, prepares great lecture slides. Reading the text is a good idea. Quizzes weekly great way to boost grades. If you think your job as a student is tough, know that she does twice as much work to make your experience worthwhile! She cares - and she's really easy to talk to! A+ Prof!
Hard class, but Dr. Stamp makes it doable. Records all lectures and posts them online, along with lecture slides. Very fair. Interesting lectures, though a bit long.
top professor. Awesome lecture slides, she's hilarious, concise and to the point. go to class record her lectures and make your notes from that. The online recordings are hard to understand sound quality wise. Another tip, memorize things by heart, its mostly short answer. Textbook is a must for the quizzes. For exams, meh,i only used it sometimes
extremely passionate about her courses. she is so fascinated by what she teaches it makes all the difference in learning. very enthusiastic. I've only experienced her in a large class size, she explained things clearly. psych was not my calling, but if that is was you want to study, she is great.
Jennifer Stamp is an amazing teacher, her lectures made me feel more passionate about my career decision.
Dr. Stamp is awesome-I first had her in PSYO 1011-12 and she was the best-I took Systems Neuroscience with her in 2nd year and part of the reason I chose the class was because she was teaching it. She is funny and thorough in lectures, easy to reach about class material or advising for psych and neuro students, and is overall a great person! 10/10
Sometimes funny
Not mandatory to go to class, but it benefits you if you do. The class goes by fast, as she makes the course interesting.
Dr. Stamp is the most nicest professor that I have met! She makes lectures interesting, and has such an awesome humourous personality. The class isn't difficult as long as you read the textbook. Class isn't mandatory, but once you listen to Dr. Stamp lecture, you won't want to miss any of her classes!
Dr. Stamp was one of the first profs I had in University. She definetly made my days easier. She is so funny, and knows a lot about psychology! I wish she taught more of this class.
Took this course as a social science credit. Dr. Stamp was probably one of the best profs I have ever had. She is very funny and amazing at what she does. Lectures were always very organized and she always knew what she was talking about. Would definitely recommend this course if you don't mind studying a little.
Run from this masked person. Tied 1/4 bonus point to doing the internal teacher ratings. Brutal. Online quizzes at 40% meant that many had the potential to find alternate means making it unfair for those who were honest. Teacher was made aware of this but was the person who created the course and the problem. Huge ego. Can be too cutting and swears
Self-serving and co-edited with the expensive book as part of the course. The Harvard colleague is a much better co-teacher as well as the coordinator of the course so it is hard to know the efforts of the person as a teacher. The ego gets in the way with subtle putdowns resulting in discouraging some eager students.
Moodiness and drama and can be dry. Guilt trip that class is ungrateful and sometimes intimidating but them speaks self-depreciatingly of herself sometimes with revelations. Retentive memory and repeats memorized information in class. Boils as believes has greatness the world is too dumb to recognize. Keeps reminding the class to rate her.
She cares a lot for students and is very approachable. Her exams can be difficult so make sure you read the textbook and go to class. If she offers Activity sessions make sure you go.
She's an awesome prof! Super interesting and clear of what you need to know. There were quizzes every week that was a great grade booster. Interesting class too.
She is such an amazing prof! She posts the lectures online so if you miss a class, you can easily catch up but definitely go to class. She explains difficult concepts in class and uses examples outside of neuroscience to ensure that students understand. She really puts a lot of effort into the class. ALWAYS read the text book!!!
I have taken three classes with Dr. Stamp throughout my degree in neuroscience. She's hilarious, flushes out concepts very well, passionate and a critical thinking professor. Her tests are more than fair, with no surprises, and reused quiz questions. If you are struggling with her tests, that's a reflection on your study habits.
Super glad I got to have Dr. Stamp again this term. Her lectures are clear, her lecture recordings are a blessing and she sets the course up so that students do well. Dr. Stamp is super knowledgeable about the course material and you can tell that she cares about her students.
Stamp is a babe I love her. Lectures were awesome and so interesting. Made learning difficult material more fun and interested me in otherwise boring material.
I took this during my 3rd year. Let me tell you, THIS HAS WAY TOO MUCH READING!!! I'm in MedSci and all 3rd year courses are hell but this was honestly harder than anything else. Most of my time was spent reading through the book and memorizing useless facts; during exams, we were tested not on actual material but on these random little facts.
Dr Stamp was a lot of fun, very quirky and eccentric, but is very easily accessible and approachable, I will definitely seek her out for future classes/research
Absolutely love Dr. Stamp, her classes are by far the best I've ever taken.
Stamp is literally the best prof!! She genuinely cares so much about her students, and tries her absolute hardest to make really boring material interesting. She always uses real life examples and makes sure everything is clear for everyone! I would definitely recommend and I hope I get to take a class with her again!!
Loved Dr. Stamp. She is a very engaging prof and makes the lectures more fun and interesting. Very good at explaining topics to students, you can tell she is very knowledgeable. Her exam was also relatively easy, all of the questions were from her lectures.
Stamp is one of the best profs I've ever had. You genuinely are excited to come to her classes. She makes all topics very interesting and you can tell she cares a lot about her students!
Dr. Stamp is a very funny, considerate, fair, and organized professor. She puts lots of effort into her lectures and her powerpoints. Powerpoints are a tool for many students that helps them take better, more detailed, and faster notes, so I really like her organization. Her test was very fair and relatively easy.
Jen Stamp is an absolute gem. I was not fantastic at this course (it was actually really difficult) but she made learning things that I find boring, like neuroscience, fun. I found the quizzes and exams really hard though.
Stamp is an awesome prof. By far my favorite of the year. Her lectures are interesting and she's very enthusiastic.
After transferring to Dal this year, Dr. Stamp has become my favourite prof EVER. She outlines exactly what you need to succeed in her courses and does it in an entertaining fashion. I'm very grateful to have a prof in my department that cares about her students success like she does. I look forward to taking more of her classes in the future.
Dr. Stamp is a wonderful professor. super cool
Overall excellent prof; she offers lots of insight on academic topics. Additionally, she seeks out input from colleagues to better cover the subject matter she's presenting.
A legend
She is captivating and knows how to keep your attention even when it's a double lecture.
There is absolutely no reason she shouldn't have a 5/5. She is such a treat!
literally the best prof ever. Funny and obviously loves teaching. I wish she taught all my classes
Stamp is an amaxing prof. She is so passionate and makes lectures really interesting. The exams were a bit tough but if you pay attention to lecture and remember the examples she mentions you'll do fine.
Stamps is the only university class I have ever enjoyed, the rest are hell or simply tolerated.
Took Stamp for intro to psych last year and loved her. However online this year her lectures were way too fast with no words on the slides, very dry, and not engaging at all. Really disappointed especially after how much I liked her last year. Her quizzes are also pretty hard and having a lab paper due each week was way too much work.
Super fun, made me interested in psychology! I am definitely considering going into Psych and Neuro because of her
Loved her. Loved her personality. Loved the textbook. Love the labs. She's known to be a fantastic prof. would definitely recommend and I will be having her as a prof again.
She is lovely, the class was structured very well and all due dates were posted at the beginning of the semester which was great. I love psych and she made it even more fun to learn. The material providied was helpful and many opportunities to ask questions and get feedback. She was really receptive to feedback about the course
There is reading involved with this course but the textbook is enjoyable to read and there are pictures and videos to help students better understand the material. The labs were pretty straight forward and easy to complete. There are no lectures but i feel as they are not needed because of the information given in the textbook.
Ive just finished my second course with Jenn Stamp. While an A- is my lowest grade to date, it was a really good course and she is a great prof. You just need to do the work and listen. The material is reasonable. Great online course. I always get great, detailed feedback, responses to emails, etc. every single time I contact her. Shes lovely.
I honestly took this class without realizing that neuroscience was a big part of it. Ive never been good with science but Prof. Stamp was EXTREMELY organized and the material was provided in both the reading and mini review lectures each week. She is clear about what to study for on tests and had engaging discussion board topics! 10/10 recommend!
Prof Stamp is one of the best science professors I've ever had. I'm an English major, so I typically hate science, but I was actually really engaged and interested in the course and work - I actually took the second half of the class when I didn't need to! 10/10 would recommend any of her classes.
Dr. Stamp is a great professor who has engaging lectures and labs, and is super helpful when it comes to answering questions and getting back to students outside of class.
Great Prof!!
Dr. Stamp is a great professor. She is super funny and cares about the students. The lab portion of this class was difficult but they were generous with the final marks I think, which was nice. The quizzes werent too bad, but the exams were rough. The content is very hard to make interesting but she did a great job
Well organized and makes the content interesting
So much love for this prof!
I loved Dr. Stamp so much throughout my first year! She is fantastic at explaining things in different ways for people who might not understand the first time around, she's super kind, super organized, and you can definitely tell that she cares for what she's teaching. Definitely recommend! There is a good amount of textbook work for online class.
Great professor, you can tell she is passionate about what she teaches and incorporates fun and interactive activities to keep students engaged and further comprehension of content. She is also very receptive to student input and suggestions regarding the layout of the class which is very much appreciated.
This is my 4th class with Stamp. I have never met a prof who who cares more about quality of teaching and students. It's clear how much the students love her. People will applaud her all the time in class. For this class, short lecture videos and readings are provided. Classes are more of a workshop style where we can do active learning.
Dr. Stamp is one my favourite profs I've ever had. She really cares about student learning and is always willing to help and answer questions. She does a reversed classroom where you watch online lectures then work on practice problems during live lecture and I love it. Overall she's super funny and nice and I would take her class again.
Stamp was probably my favourite professor of first term. She made her lectures engaging (instead of reteaching the material she did "active learning" with the material assigned). Definitely do the prep work beforehand because it's worth your time! Exams were open book this term and all the questions are application-based. Textbook is free as well!
She's a very good professor and is very enthusiastic with what she teaches but the actual lecture content is so easy and boring there's no point to take the class
an amazing prof who actually makes learning fun. great teacher and loves to help her students and make sure they understand the material. accommodating and caring as well.
A great prof who explains things very well. I loved how the textbook was completely free and the tricky topic videos really helped with understanding. I loved the lesson overviews which explained everything that we needed to understand for each lesson. You get 2 bonus SONA points if you participate in studies. Overall really nicely organized course
Stamp is genuinely a beacon of light. She's so understanding and clearly super invested in the material. The actual class material is posted on the course Brightspace, but the lectures are "active learning" sessions that are helpful, but mostly optional. Would recommend doing the readings and watching the Tricky Topics, it makes things a lot easier
Best first year teacher!! Shes super sweet, accepting, and very clear with her course materials on what is expected on assessments! I would take another course by her guaranteed!!
Dr. Stamp is incredibly caring and goes above and beyond to ensure students are engaged with material. Her syllabus song truly exemplifies why shes a passionate instructor.
Jen was awesome. Despite being in a 400+ person class, she made the content relatable and engaging. She along with others are writing the textbook for this class so everything you read is curated by her specifically and is super useful. She is SO funny and I truly loved going to all her lectures. Focus on tricky topic videos and you'll be fine :)
Dr. Stamp is fantastic! She uses a flipped classroom style for teaching; her study sessions (these replaced traditional lectures) were incredibly helpful when it came to exams; they are mostly application questions in multiple choice form. She is very humorous and easy to approach, she even sang and played guitar in lecture on the first day!
Jen Stamp is amazing. She is very clear and the class was organized very well. She likes online open book exams which is a plus.
Engaging flipped classroom style, which I really liked (until it was moved in person). She has a very likeable personality, and she certainly knows her stuff. However, I have never been able to do well on her exams. Her questions are far too ambiguous and they cover material she never explicitly mentions, which I highly dislike.
Love her
Very engaging. Watch videos before class and go through explanations and demonstrations in class. Going to lectures will benefit you.
Her classes are always minimal pressure with unlimited timed exams and open-book. Exams can be difficult with multi-select questions. She is very entertaining
Dr. Stamp is definitely kind and caring but her lectures are useless. She never covers anything that would genuinely help you understand the basic concepts and just expects you to learn on your own. don't expect to learn much from the lectures.
The most engaging lectures I have been to. She has a great way of explaining material and all of the tests and exams were online and open book. Great vibes with Dr. Stamp.
She is far by one of the best professors I have ever had. The whole course is very easy as long as you try and keep up, it's not heavy at all, and get easy high grades even. Overall, as long as you are consistent you will do very good in this course.
Very enthusiastic about the subject matter and made the course interesting. Loved her lectures and she gave many hints about future test questions. The tests were quite difficult but overall it was a manageable class.
Dr. Stamp always made her lectures fun and engaging. We had biweekly open-book quizzes, but they weren't hard if you watched the tricky topics. Her 3 exams are also online, open-book, and more than fair if you pay attention! She often gives helpful hints about potential exam questions during lectures. Textbook was free and online as a plus!
The flipped classroom method forced everyone to learn everything on their own. Lectures consisted of her asking students to fill out worksheets. She didn't teach anything and lectures were a total waste of time
Probably the best prof I had first semester of my first year. All the lecture material was easy to understand and she made lectures feel fast and they were fun and engaging. Definitely take Psych in your first year if you can its the best class and Stamp is the best prof. There is also opportunity to get extra credit for the class
love this woman
I mainly took this class because it was required for my degree. Her in-person lectures were pretty straightforward and her online lecture videos were pretty straightforward as well. Sometimes the videos went a little fast, but a full transcript was always provided. Exams pretty straightforward, however, be concise and specific with answers.
she slayed
Great. Just so great. If you're in first-year psychology, don't worry about anything!!!
Exams are open book which makes you excited at first however she makes the questions so subjective and confusing that the class average for exams is 65. FOR A FIRST YEAR PSYCH CLASS. Need to pay very close attention in lectures cause she asks questions about her own opinions on exams.
Just finished the last exam for this class.The questions are wordy and it's almost impossible to find the correct answers in tricky topic videos and the textbook.I attended every class and took extensive notes on every chapter and it still wasn't enough. Not to mention the multiple quizzes completed are only worth 3% while the exams are worth 72%!
I like this professor but not this course at all. Exams were totally unfair, averages were low, at least for this year. You could study all the material and the readings and it still will be extremely difficult. Very disappointing.
Nice person and good lecturer, but man those quizzes and exams were brutal. The language was misleading and questions sometimes didn't align with course material at all. Despite being "open-book", you could go through every single reading, lecture, and tricky topic video and STILL not find an answer. Class averages were low for a reason.
While I think Professor Stamp herself is a good lecturer and certainly a fine professor, the Flipped Classroom setting poses a lot of obstacles for those unfamiliar with it or those with special needs. There may also be discrepancy in what is taught in classroom, what notes taken for the note-taker accommodation and exams, so beware.
She was a very nice and enjoyable prof but the exams she created were horrible. All of them were online so you might think they would be easy, but she would ask questions that were covered in class for maybe a minute and are not found in the textbook or in the tricky topic videos. Class average was ~60/65 for the final exam.
She is a great professor & her lecture content is always interesting! You can tell that she is very passionate about teaching psych & neuroscience. She is very organized as well, which makes it easier to keep up with weekly content.
Professor Stamp makes this psych course engaging with her passion for the subject. While exams can be tricky, using Unstuckstudy and the provided resources helps maximize your learning.
One of the best profs I have ever had, you can tell she loves teaching and is passionate about psychology. Class is structured well and is graded on many things, lots of chances to do well
