Very easy to talk to, always willing to help, just ask.

Accent is very strong, makes listening to lectures difficult. Lectures too long.

read the book before she lectures and you will understand more

once you get through the accent, she's easy to understand, hard tests though

great prof! Go to class&you'll do well on exams, accent is mild, just listen!

Very friendly, very willing to help - accent a little strong, but not bad...

I have never once not understood her, she is a wonderful prof!

accent is NOT that bad. bad students get bad grades. good prof and a cutie too

realize this is a 300 lev. college psy class not highschool. B- here w/o trying

A little hard to follow at 8 in the morning, but very nice and helpful.

Exellent challenging corse, those who say otherwise are just lazyass slackers!!!

Must go to class because of all the notes, study hard for tests!

Very nice, good prof. class is hard, though, which makes the tests hard

She's very sweet, but the class is quite a challenge.

Tough class, but I have never enjoyed a professor more!

adorable! challenging in a good way, funny english, pay attention and study!

tests are common sense, study notes and read the book, the final sucked

Nice prof. Just read the book, study notes, and you'll do fine. Hard final.

BEST PROF I'VE EVER HAD! accent= not thatbad. organized, tests not bad. STUDY!

The accent really isn't that bad. Great teacher; puts notes on blackboard!!

Funny!!

Hard to understand at times, just participate&work hard and she will help u.

The best. Always willing to help. Very funny, but challenging.

Very nice and helpful! Sweet lady. Study Hard and you will do well.

BEST PROF I've ever hard. she's very nice and willing to help. she has an accent, but it's not hard to understand her (this is America, LOTS OF PEOPLE have accents). her tests are nowhere near as hard as people say....just go to class and study.

nice woman. tends to repeat alot, which I find helpful.

very nice lady, very helpful and clear. tests are difficult.

Class is somewhat boring, but tests are pretty easy. No trouble understanding her at all

Very sweet lady! It is a class where you do have to attend and do work, but it's not difficult. Do what you are supposed to and get an A. She is easy to understand.

Great teacher. willing to help. speaks good english constantly repeats herself so she is sure she is understood. If someone dosent do well its because they are lazy.

No problem understanding her at all! She does have problems spelling, but it's not a big deal. Her exams are extremely hard. The only reason i don't recommend her class is because if you don't thoroughly grasp the material you won't do well on exams.

She is a very nice woman, always willing to help. Can be difficult to understand her english at times, but she always clarifies any questions and writes words she has a hard time pronouncing on the board. Her tests are hard, but not much homework.

Very nice prof. she knows her stuff! Her tests are very very difficult because they are abstract. You MUST attend lectures to pass this class!

She is a very good professor who knows her stuff. She is more than willing to repeat things people don't understand. If someone doesn't pass her class they are just lazy.

Provides note and study guides. Also, arranges class study sessions for tests. Good prof.

really nice, great prof.I really liked her.Easy to understand, cute way of teaching, really cares. She lets you drop one test score! She really knows her stuff and overall no complaints at all.

All her outlines for notes are online and she does her lectures right from that. She tells stories related to the topics we are discussing so it is easy to remember the material. If you go to class and pay attention, you will do good on the exams. Take her, you will learn a lot.

Professor Chen is a very very nice lady. The concepts are hard to understand and interpret on her difficult exams, but not impossible. Study for this class and not the night before an exam. Talk to her after class, she is very nice and willing to help you if you need it.

I've had her for a couple of classes. The outlines are very helpful but u will need to attend class to get all the notes. The project is a real drag if u don't have alot of extra time. Good use of Blackboard, grades tests quickly. Some extra credit. I am not a very good student but i passed.

I thought that Dr. Chen was a great prof. Has good sense of humor. If you go to class and take good notes, then the class is very easy. You have a paper to write but you get the whole semester to do it. Study very well for exams and there is really no reason not to get an A.

If you go to class, pay attention and take notes, and do the study guide, you'll ace her class. The paper wasn't too bad, and her tests really weren't that difficult. Professor Chen is patient and helpful and has a good sense of humor. Interesting class, but overlaps quite a bit with PSY 301.

She is very helpful, but make sure to go to class and listen to her lectures. Take notes, they are basically what the exams are on. If you skip a lot, which is easy to do, you will miss all the important stuff for exams.

Take Chen. Yes, you'll have to go to class, but isn't that the point of being here? She's funny, understanding, and knows what she's talking about.

she provides an outline for you to fill out while she's lecturing, and a study guide for the tests. this is definitely a class you have to go to all the time. the tests are a little on the hard side, but as long as you fill out the study guide and go to class, you should do fine.

Isn't too hard, but you need to go to class and take good notes. No text book required, although there are other small readings. Get to drop lowest grade. Exams kind of hard but if you study, you should be fine. Very nice, especially outside of class. Wants to see students succeed. It's a 300 level class, it's not going to be a total breeze.

Friendly, smart, and funny prof. Class could be very boring though. We didn't use a book, but we had readings. The readings sucked because they were experiments, and those are always lame to read. It was also disappointing she never talked about Kohlberg. Good prof, but class definitely could have been more interesting.

Very very nice, cute, and funny lady. She has a Chinese accent, but it didn't turn out to be a problem. She uses real journal articles instead of a textbook, so that's nice. LOTS of material, but as long as you take notes and study and understand the stuff, you'll do fine on tests. She gives assignments and those end up being a lot of points to

Did not require a textbook which was nice, although we did have a lot of articles to read and assignments to do off of those, which she grades fairly easy, you have to go to class to understand the material, and she tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams, good prof, just boring sometimes, I suggest taking it with her though!

Very nice lady! She's really cute. Her lectures are very clear. She has outlines that you can use to follow her lecture and take notes. Class was difficult, but it's a 300 level class, so expect that. But as a professor, she was really good. Tests are hard.

Dr. Chen is an excellent prof! She is sweet, cute, and funny. She makes the class interesting and I didn't find the lectures boring. Make sure you go to lecture because she takes exam questions straight from her lectures. There is no book for the class but there are a lot of articles to read were very boring. Overall, a wonderful class and prof!

She knows what she's talking about. Exams are a bit difficult but she tells you everything you need to know in lecture. The project was a bit cumbersome though. I would recommend her for THIS course.

I really like Professor Chen... She's so nice and the class really isn't that hard as long as you show up, pay attention, and study for the tests.

She was not that hard to understand, as others claimed. The tests were comprehensive to all of the material covered. The tests were not cumulative. There was no required textbook, so you aren't out $150 for a theme class. Overall, she was fun and had a lot of energy. She made the class interesting.

I really loved this prof. I didn't have any problems understanding her! She assigns difficult articles to read, so be prepared to increase your reading level! Everything on her tests were discussed in lecture- so go and take notes!! Especially on her examples!

I had taken both Psy301 and Perspectives on Aging with Professory Chen and both were very enjoyable & understandable if you attended each class and paid attention. If you like to skip class or put in little effort this is not a good professor for you. If you are a good student you will have no problem. I am an A student and received an A in both.

Jing is a good teacher. The material she assigns to read is hard. However, if you take notes and are an active participant in class you will understand it. It is good to have a teacher who is of different ethnic race too. It allows us to grow into more of a diverse individual. Take her and broaden your mind. Be prepared for articles!

Professor Chen was a decently good instructor, very passionate about what she teaches. I had her for Perspectives on Aging. The articles she assigned were really difficult reads (and I read a lot.) Some of the material was presented in a confusing way and the final was unnecessarily difficult compared to the other tests so study hard for that.

I LOVED Professor Chen! She is so passionate about her teaching and uses real life examples. Her tests are not hard if you study. I always just read through them once the morning of the exam and did great! She doesn't use a textbook, just article (much better!!) I signed up for every other class she teaches! Highly recommended!

This was a prof who actually was passionate about what she taught, and cared about her students. The topic wasn't the most interesting, but she brought so many examples into lecture it was ok. This class is a breeze if you do the h.w for the articles she assigns, go to class and listen. Read through notes once before the exams, you will do fine.

I took her class for one of my Theme classes. It wasn't hard but I didn't try my best. I think you can easily get an A in this class by reading the textbook and taking good notes. She likes to use her son as an example. She moves slowly through each chapter so we didn't cover everything. She is very nice and helpful.

Although some of the directions for the class are not always clear, she makes up for it by being interesting and engaging in the classroom and very approachable.

Quizzes very frequently. Tests were a little tricky. Her English is good, but sometimes there would be a confusing mistake here or there. However she is a VERY nice person and will not be offended if you don't understand. I would say take her, but be ready to do a decent amount of studying.

She's a great professor. Super funny and willing to help. Group assignment was a lot of work, but feasible. Midterm and final were challenging but most of it comes straight from lecture, so take word-for-word notes when she mentions something (especially if she does multiple times... duh!). I would take her for more courses if I could. No book.

I thought professor Chen was a great teacher! She was very nice and the stories she would tell us in class were hilarious. She could be a little confusing at times but her accent didn't get in the way of understanding the material. I'd take more psych classes with her if I got the chance!

Prof. Chen is a super sweet lady who really does want you to succeed. At times she is slightly unclear, but english is not her first language. But don't let an accent scare you because she knows what she is talking about. Tests are fairly hard, but there are lots of chances to earn other points in the class.

Tests are very difficult, a lot of specificity in understanding is required. Lecture-specific topics are very important to tests, and if you are not taking VERY GOOD notes during lecture, it is very hard to get above a B on an exam. She is funny and very sweet however, and is there as a resource, especially for the group project.

She was always full of energy and made the material more interesting. The lectures can get very boring and you must attend lectures. The tests are mostly situational and pick the most correct answer type questions. Lots of outside class reading and homework before lecture, but it really helps.

Professor Chen really cares about her students. If you attend class and take detailed notes you'll do fine. She asks questions based on the understanding of concepts, not memorization. Would definitely take her again!

I don't know why Professor Chen has bad reviews. I loved her. She was always willing to answer questions and explain topics further. She does have an accent but it was never a problem when it came to her lectures. You need the book for this class.

She was a good professor and the class was pretty interesting. She is a big stickler to her syllabus though, no exceptions even if you are sick.

Jing Chen is a true gem. She is the most caring and personable prof I've had in my years at GV. There is no textbook so attendance is required to get material. She assigns reading hw almost every class, but she gives full credit every time. She gives little assignments in class that she also gives full credit on for just attending. Harder exams.

Dr. Chen is the cutest, sweetest thing!! She really wants students to do well and understand concepts. She posts an outline of her notes, the rest you really have to be in class and paying attention for- write every little thing down. Her exams are based off of the lecture and textbook parts relevant to it. One paper and some quizzes. Take her!

Professor Chen is passionate, sweet, and funny! She wants her students to succeed. 4 tests, one paper, and quizzes on most chapters. If you pay attention, take notes, and come to class you'll do well on tests. They aren't easy but aren't particularly hard. I recommend taking her if you can!

She is such a great person and has fun lectures. She outlines the class very clearly and makes sure we know what to do. There is one paper, 3 exams, and homework for grades. you do have to go to lectures and read because her exams are hard. The final is NOT cumulative so that is nice.

I am unsure as to why there are so many poor reviews about Professor Chen. She truly is a wonderful professor who is more than willing to help outside of class. Her lectures are funny and interesting. If you read your textbook and put in the work this class is easy to succeed in!

I don't know why Professor Chen has such a low rating. She is willing to help with anything needed and really shows that she cares if you are willing to go to her office hours! You definitely have to pay attention, read the book, and attend class if you want to pass. She tries to crack jokes during her lectures. There is 3 exams and a group paper

Professor Chen is so sweet, she kept us engaged & is just such a great person overall. However, her tests are essentially impossible. That's why I didn't do well, she taught the material really well, but her tests are very confusing and worded very weirdly. I did well on everything else though, she's great at verbally explaining things.

Professor Chen is a great professor. She explains the concepts exactly how they show up on the exams and makes sure you know the information so there are no surprises. If you show up to class every day and pay attention the exams are not hard at all. She gives homework questions and quizzes here and there that help cushion your grade as well.

Such a sweet person, makes lectures really fun, & is super understanding. Her tests are absolutely impossible though. If you aren't a good test taker do not take her. I took detailed notes & studied for hours on end for tests & still never got above a B, but did well in every other assignment in that class.

Honestly I don't know why Dr. Chen has bad ratings. I absolutely loved her. The key is to pay attention in lectures and take good notes on them. If you do, seriously do not worry about her quizzes being too hard - you will be fine. She is super SWEET, understanding, and willing to explain things more if asked.

Prof Chen is amazing, she is understanding that students have a lot to deal with (hw extensions!). No book for the class, all the info comes straight from lectures, take good notes (she provides an outline) Online class so we used notes on exam (not sure about in person). Assignments took a long time but were graded easy. Group paper was not hard!

Loved this class! Professor Chen is the cutest, sweetest lady. Super lecture-heavy class so attendance is important unless you can get notes from someone. 3 exams, quizzes every 2ish weeks, and 1 online reading assignment each week. Only one big paper to write. Overall super easy and manageable if you attend class and stay on top of your work.

She is super sweet and created the class so she really cares about her students and the topic.

such a sweet prof and i thought the material was relatively easy. there were a lot of assignments but (for me at least) they really didn't take that long. major problem i had was that lectures or slides were not posted anywhere so if you had to miss class you were screwed unless you had someone reliable to send you the notes.

Go to class, do your HW, and study for the tests and youll be fine. She is always willing to sit down and help you if you need it. She is incredibly sweet and cares so much about her students. The material might be difficult but she tries to get you to understand it the best she can. Would take her again.

Super nice professor and loves what she's teaching about so lectures weren't too bad. Exams were based mainly on lectures so I didn't read the textbook much (mainly skimmed). She's a pretty fair grader and loves to help students if you need extra feedback or help with assignments. Sometimes hard to understand but she's happy to repeat things.

Class was good but not amazing. I understood what's expected of me, learned lots from the lectures, and she'll gladly go into detail or repeat things if you're confused. Class wasn't unnecessarily difficult and felt it was the perfect level of difficulty. Not too hard but not too easy. She's a very fair grader and will explain your grade if needed.

Loved the class. Loved the prof. Take her if you can.

This professor was hard. However, I learned so much from her. I feel as though some classes don't push you enough to learn. With her, there was a lot of homework and tests were hard. I did very well however, since I studied. I rewrote my notes to study. If you want to get something out of this class, I 100% recommend her.

For a class I don't really need for my major, I do regret taking it, since it is very hard. However, I learned so much, and feel like I got the most out of it. Left this class with better work ethic, and feeling good about how I performed. Tests are very hard, but homework does not take long and is a lot of your grade.

Professor Chen runs a challenging but rewarding class. Lectures are engaging, and the workload is substantial. Staying on top of readings and notes is key. unstuck AI was a helpful supplement for test prep.

This class was so enjoyable. Professor Chen always brought a smile to class and never failed to make me have one on my way out of the door. She was caring, understanding, and helpful. Her office hours were always open if you needed help, too. No complaints except sometimes it was difficult to understand her critiques of projects and assignments.

Professor Chen was a sweet professor. The layout and course content were easy to follow. Although attendance isn't mandatory, I'd recommend showing up to class. Her exams were mostly topics she covered in class and not content straight from the textbook.

I enjoyed Chen's class. She was pretty funny, and explained content well. She gives extra credit opportunities and always curved the exams. The exams were average difficulty. She tells you exactly what the test will cover with the number of questions on each topic which I found helpful for studying.

Professor Chen is as cute as a button and very caring. I showed up at the wrong time for the final, and she told me not to panic and let me take it in her office. If you show up to every class, she will notice and give grace.
