She is great! Attendance is not mandatory but she does do in class activites and does not tell you when. Very important to read all chapters assigned and go over your notes for the exams. Even the little side stories in the book. If you ask her, she is very willing to help and take the time to explain what you are not understanding.

There is a lot of information to keep up with in this class, but also a lot of ways to earn points. She doesn't take attendance but there are 4 in-class assignments that you can't make up if you miss. At first I was unsure about her but the class got more interesting towards the end and she was very on top of her end of the work.

I'll be honest, I wasn't interested in this subject at all and I wasn't after taking her either. But she's a very fair teacher, a little heavy on powerpoint presentation which can be a little tiring if you take evening classes. All in all, you should take this teacher.

Well, to be honest, it's not that she's a very bad teacher or sth. I can say she's soso. Anyway, she is like a sleeping pill and her class is extremely boring. The good thing is attendance is not so important in her class. Anyway, that doesn't mean skipping classes is okay because u will be test on the things she taught. The exams were kind of hard

I really liked her class. Very interesting. For the papers, try to include as many references to psychology terms and references as possible and you will do good. Even if it seems a little overkill. And she really likes people who speak up during class. Just keep phones in bags and be on time! She will lock the door if people are late too often.

I really enjoyed her class. I think she's a great teacher and I can tell she really has a passion for what she's teaching. She is very helpful; she doesn't necessarily just give you an answer, she helps you figure out what it is yourself, which can be frustrating for students, but helpful in the long run.

This lady knows what she's talking about! She is crystal clear and extremely knowledgeable. An easy A as long as you study. The "Psych Sims" are super easy too. You won't get docked for attendance but you need to sit in on every lecture for your grade on an exam. In class activities are necessary too & you never know when they will be. Great!

If you arrive more than 30 seconds late, you get NO CREDIT for the assignment due. Course load is too high. Joy is inappropriately strict, and chooses favorites. When a question is asked, she gives her opinion of it, and not the true answer with facts behind it. Joy is controlling and will not work with students, or be flexible to students' needs.

She's a very normal woman, and that doesn't happen often when it comes to GRC professors. Show up on time every day, listen, take lots of notes, read through the textbook chapters assigned. There are tests often, but all you need to do to pass them is understand the content you just studied. No tricks up her sleeve.

She is by far my favourite psychology professor (I'm a psych major). Her expectations are clear and laid out from the very beginning. Exams (MCQ) are not that hard if you study, and there are no trick questions. Lots of extra credit points that will help your overall grade. One of the few professors at GRCC that actually prepares you for life.

PROS: Nice person. Approachable. Professional. Established. Great lectures. CONS: Absent/late/leave early? No credit for hw - no exceptions. Most hw/exams are graded heavily (small # of overall pts). Careful, one assignment could bring your grade down 1-5%. Great teacher, but not the best teaching style for those who stress a lot over their GPA.

Her online class during Spring 2020 was not the best. She could have offered more time on the exams, but that was not the case. You had 40 minutes to complete a 50 MC question exam.

I took professor Crawford for Spring Quarter 2020 and it was not the best. I think that her grading scale was really strict and that she could've been more lenient, especially with the transition to online class after the shutdown. 96% in the class became a grade of 3.9 for me.

Professor Crawford is an amazing teacher. She sets up watchable lectures each week along with a section from the textbook. While at first glance it looks quite tedious, her lectures are thorough yet concise and she only puts things on the tests that she's lectured on. If you follow along its an easy class.
