very awesome teacher! you'll have fun learning
One of the best teachers I've had. Definetly take her if you are taking a Human Sexuality class.
Great teacher, she's awsome!! You learn a lot during her class.
5 exama and a final. no homework or papers ever!
She lectures so interestingly, you will not want to miss out. very informative and makes learning enjoyable. one of the best psych. professors EVER! we had few papers due for each chapter, but that was not hard at all. exams are very reasonable.
She is Great, very informative and loves what she is doing. Lectures are very interesting and she gets the class invlolved. I would recommend her to anyone. Her tests are tough so pay attention, you will learn a lot.
some of us felt that she was rude and discriminated against some students. her exams are m.c and they are kinda hard. i wont recommend her, if i didnt like psy so much and took her class i would have changed majors.
i thought she was kinda rude to students, her exams were sorta hard, didnt feel like i could go to her for help with assignments.
Great teacher! Group tests (5 of them) and then the final is tested by yourself, but as long as you study, you will pass with an A or B.
class isn't that bad if you study but, she is rude and don't even think about asking her for any help. i think she got into psy for free help (which appearentally hasn't helped)! she is NOT nice!!!!
I could see how people could find her rude, because she is very straight forward on everything. For a class that is fun, and easy, I would recommend her. As well, she's always there if you need help out of class. (lots of group tests)
She's a really fun teacher to have for something like psychology. Discussions are amusing and she makes the material interesting. As long as you have a sense of humor and you can take things in stride, this class is really cool.
She is just FLAT OUT RUDE! Tests are just OFF THE WALL and she isn't real personable. I do feel like I learned a lot in her class though. (Don't recommend her)
This professor i would have to say was very interesting to have when learning about General Psychology. There was no papers to do in this class, just tests and all of them can be done in groups except the final. Shes is very helpful, and willing to help.
Very cool teacher, lots of very cool information to back up her teachings.
SHE IS THE COOLEST EACHER I HAVE EVER HAD, SHE REALLY GETS HER STUDENTS INVOLVED AND IS A JOY TO JUST GO TO CLASS!! I LOVED THE CLASS I LEARNED A WHOLE BUNCH OF COOL INFO SHE ROCKS!!!!
SHE IS AWESOME. That was the most interesting class I have taken. She really gets the students involved and makes it fun and super interesting. I recommend her to everyone. She is straight-forward and honest and asks your opinion.
she is a really good teacher, just make sure that when you step into her class TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES!!!!!!!!!she hates that and could be rude about it. but she is a really good teacher she comes out at first hard but that is just to get respect.
Dr. Judi is the best professor in the world. When she entered into teaching, she truly found her place. Her classes are very entertaining and her multi-colored worksheets are AWESOME.remember, like every other good professor, you need to study to pass..:)
Addelson is a cool teacher she definatley makes coming to class fun. She can sometimes be in a bad mood and take it out on the class. She likes to kind of force her beliefs on others. Overall you will love this class she is a truly gifted professor.
Dr. Addelston was the BEST teacher that I have ever had. She is so nice and always willing to help students who need it. We always had very interesting class discussions. She liked to hear our points of views on things. But do study for the tests!
Great Teacher!! Uses real life expierences to help you understand things more clear. If you really study for her tests you will b fine. She is my favirote professer so far at Valencia!!!
She is a great teacher. I had her for general and dev. psych and i got A's. If you pay attention in class, participate and at least study the study guide, you will pass the class. She is straight forward and funny.
Took her years ago...She's rude and not very friendly. She may have changed now, but I didn't like her then?!
i had her this pass spring. she is very interestng. she lectures!. she does not read the text! all tests can be taken in groups of 1, 2, or 3. final is accumulative and has to be taken alone. study your study guide! you can pass!!!!
I ended up dropping her class in the very beginig because she was so rude. She thinks that we are back in middle school where she can boss around her students. Take Hollister @ east campus. She was great.
She's really rude, but she's a good professor. If you can put up with her comments, you may be able to learn a lot.
awsome teacher! good lectures! fair test! this has been my favorite class of all time-thanks to her
Passionate about her field. Cares about students. Makes class FUN! Need to pay attention, participate AND study!!, but otherwise easy. Gives real-life situations to help you understand. Best prof I had!
My least favorite psych teacher. Do yourself a favor and take another.
As long as you pay attention in class and study, you'll do great. I had some problems with her views-she is very out spoken about how she feels. But I learned a lot and would have taken her Dev. Psy. if it had fit into my schedule.
AMAZING. She's incredibly passionate, fun, and will definitely challenge what you believe. She's one of the best professors I've had. I'm taking a 3rd class with her in the fall.
Lectures are very interesting. Her lectures are extremely one-sided and basically takes a feminist standpoint on everything. Even though this is the case, I would still suggest her class because it's extremely helpful.
good teacher, makes lectures interesting. test are ok, but you have to study!!!
This is my second class with her. I enjoy her honest opinions and "bluntness" with some topics. She is easy to follow and more than fare in regards to her tests. (She tells you where to study the questions. BUY THE STUDY GUIDE!)
She's very nice. Has people bring in their kids as examples, and explains everything very well. Very interesting lectures. I had an A and I never had to read the book or the study guide, that's how well she teaches. Lets her opinions be known, but does not force them on you. Definately recommend.
She rocks so hard, I've taken all of my psych classes with her and have missed semesters of psych class because I didnt get her and wouldn't take anybody else. She knows her stuff and teaches it better than anybody i've ever had or seen. if u like her she will like you back and be really cool 2 u
very cool teacher! class is pretty easy and so are the tests. Gives extra credit opportunities. all u gotta do is study and you'll get an A.
I recommend this class to anybody, she is quite knowledgeable about everything that has to do with psychology and taught me alot.I'm not even a psych major and taking her class has made me want to take more psy classes.I don't know how she is in other clasees but in psy1012 she is perfect.Take Her!
This class was so much fun! She is such an amazing prof! there are group tests, no papers and I can't say it enough...that's class was awesome! highly recommend Dr. Addleston, she's so great!
Grade is based entirely on test scores. She did not offer any extra credit, or class assignments. Granted, she is a great professor and very likable, but unless you ace the tests your grade will not be perfect. I think she is lazy when it comes to grading papers. All tests on scantron & no homework.
Grade is based only on test. Smart lady, but rude to students.
The only grades you receive are from tests...no other opportunities. Not flexible at all. Dr. without understanding of life's unexpected or uncontrollable events. Very dissapointed because the subject is extremely interesting. She made it otherwise. Rude and don't ask her challanging questions!
all the grades you receive are only from the test, which are really hard b/c the info from the lectures don't really help you. she's also a very sarcastic person,that thinks that what she's knows is right, and everything else in this world is wrong.the people in the class were cool.
If you are a christian this is not the class for you!She is an evolutionist and expresses that freely.Everything in the world to her is because of mother nature setting us up for the future. Everything is because of evolution.
She is great teacher! I would recommend her to anyone! Her class was only interesting but fun to. She gives you chances for extra credit. Tests are not hard if you read the book!! Don't go by her lectures to much for tests.
Laid back class. Ignore the class stuff and focus on the book/study guide for (group of 3)tests. X-tra credit work helps. A sarcastic, typical 60's fem/liberal, "Be reasonable, do it MY way", the world is wrong, but I, and only I, have all the right answers kind of person. Sit back and enjoy a ride!
she is sooooo awesome.....i would so do her....i hope that all students in the future have a chance to flirt and maybe get some from this hot babe.....mwah...i love you judi
Absoluetly love her she is the bomb, i want to be her best friend. I felt really connected to her by the end of the class. Definetly recommend her i lover her!
Awesome class with a real way of making you comfortiable with yourself and the others around you. extra crdit before every test by watching selected movies and a two page paper. group tests people!! Always has a way to make you think about society and what we all commonly think about in our society.
Dr.Addelston is like a strong wine either you like her or you don't. Alot of memorizing from her notes,chapters, and study guide. All in all she's cool.
she is a very smart women. She know her material. You do have to studdy in the class, but if you pay attention you will do well.
she makes you feel stupid when giving your opinion. when you ask a question the look on her face and tone in her voice is like "duh, you should have known that" you also have to sit in a circle which is like elementary school and is intimidating. she also often gives the wrong info on tests.
Wonderful professor, only 4 tests (which makes it hard to keep an A in the class) and great lectures. No homework and if you take notes and study the tests are easy!
she relates every topic to sexism and blames men for everything wrong in the world. the class is easy, but heres test contain questions that were not discussed in class or in the book. just choose the most feminist answer and you will get it right. if you want to learn something take someone else.
She really knows how to make the class interesting, she's definetly not your average professor.
this teacher rocks! in fact, she she is one of the best teachers ever! she's really mellow laid back and likes to interact with her students. and i don't doubt that shes probably reading this right now.. HI JUDY!!! this teacher rules.... oh yeah, study for that final. and when you want to say something, load brain then shoot mouth.. aloha- Big Rick
Best professor ever! I absolutely loved going to class. She was always in such a good mood and completely open to talking about anything. It would be a mistake to take a class with anyone else if you could take a class with Dr. Addelston. If I could have taken her for more classes I would have.
One of the greatest teachers I've ever had. Knows how to put the science of the mind before the belief of religions.
taking psych. courses??? take her!!!
There was 1 chick in my class who asked dumb ?'s who annoyed every1 including Dr. Addelston. Otherwise Judith is one of the best teachers I've had, learned a lot more from group tests and the desks in a circle made it more interactive instead of blah. She doesn't believe in stressing anyone out, hence the group tests.
Great teacher, resepects all insights. To those who felt dumb after making a comment, it was prob. because you were dumb. Trust me, I've heard people say dumb thing in this class. Group tests, clear instructions, great insights, and a great person! Take this class!
No Comments
She pushes her points of view on you. If you are a Christian, do not take with this professor.
Honestly the best professor I have ever had. Keeps the class laughing but learning at the same time. Very interesting.
She makes the class sit in a semicircle and encourages you to hang out on the weekends. She isn't afraid to put you in the spotlight or call you out. She asks your opinion. Very informative. She gives handouts that are hilarious. She was like the cool mom who wasn't scared to remind you to wear a condom or what the correct anatomical parts were.
One of the worst teachers I have ever had. Not to mention that shes extremely rude and unfair. Would not recommend to ANYONE
She is a great professor. She makes the material easy to understand and retain.
I have taken 4 of Dr Addelston's classes. I have enjoyed every class!! You will absolutely learn alot from her. Her tests r grouped together, up to 3 persons. If u wish, u can take them alone aswell. Dr Addelston "DOES NOT" push her beliefs on u. She will answer ur qns if u do ask her what she thinks of the topic in qn. "Religous Friendly also"!
Addelston was one of the best teachers i ever had she is fair but firm. Expect to learn a lot and come to class prepared.
She is a very informative professor. She allowed us to take our tests in groups, no homework, and no quizzes. She got straight to the point and lectured on the material that would be on the tests.
One of her lectures were so powerful and moving I began to cry as if I were in the audience of The Oprah Winfry Show. "Amazing" is all I have to say about this teacher and the classes that she teaches. :)
She seems very cool but on Test Day she has a major attitude problem! There are only 4 test and 3 of them are group test but her test are tricky because even if you take great notes you will not go on the test unless you read the book!! BUY THE STUDY GUIDE FROM THE BOOK STORE!! IT WILL HELP YOU!!
She has an absoloute awesome smile and she lives up to her RateMyProfessor ratings...tests are hard,read the chapter and has fun with the class. Has humor unline some teachers and a great wit.
Awesome teacher, super class. Tests are hard but you can do them in groups! I studied really hard and scored an A for all of my test, so it can be done. The lectures are fun, impressive and you learn sooo much. She is fun, liberal and you talk about anything. Take this teacher if you want to learn and you are willing to work for it.
i took her for human sexuality and it was awsome!!! she is open minded and the lectures are fun and very interactive. her test are a bit hard but you get to work in groups and even if you look over the notes before class, you should be fine. i would definetly recommend this to everyone!!
I took her for Gen psy and not taking her for abnormal because i loved her teaching style so much!
I loved her! She was really nice and when she was lecturing, most the time she kept you interested. She is really laid back and makes learning fun. You need the book for this class. I didnt have it and I passed with a B but it would have been easier if I did have the book. What I did have was the study guide. GET THAT!
Great teacher. Very knowledgable and able to give great examples. Funny and lighthearted. I really enjoyed her class. Tests are difficult but you can take them in groups and she gives a lot of X credit that will help grades and help you learn the material covered. Take her if you can.
Very good professor, she makes the class exciting and interesting. She is very funny, all you do is tests and they are in groups you have no extra work just make sure you study for her tests.
Dr. Judi is an excellent professor!no homework.all tests. Do your reading. tests can be tricky. all mult.choice.drops lowest. fun and happy in class.very smart woman. dont miss. dont be late. worth every $$.Very interesting lectures.Very sweet and kind. Loved every class.Looked forward to it. Know your vocab and you will do better on tests. A+
The class isn't difficult; BUY THE STUDY GUIDE; No homework, just four exams. She's very smart, but she doesn't teach well. She makes you feel stupid for asking questions, and she always overlooked my comments. I wasn't particularly fond of her, and I still made an 'A.
Great teacher. Group work is nice when you have smart people who study. CHOOSE WISELY. She drops the lowest test grades which is awesome. The stuff she goes over will usually be on the test, but other than that study the chapter well. She knows her stuff. I'm taking her again for developmental psychology aiming for a high B again. Take her.
Great teacher! She knows her subject matter because she LIVES it and has her own practice. VERY cool, gives extra credit alot. HARD TESTS!!! MUST study for them, but overall she is very helpful. Do not make a fool of yourself by using the word crazy loosely. I saw her humiliate a smart alec girl for doing that. FUNNY, but wouldnt want it done to me
This teacher is amazing, i def. recomend her. She's so funny and kind, all you have to do is study for the tests and pay attention in class. Before being in her class I was an art major but I was so inspired by this lady I changed my major to psychology.
nice!
This class was incredible (Drugs and Addiction). You will discover so much about yourself. There are three exams and one paper. The paper is about yourself, and the exams are only 50 questions. Easy if you study (even just a little bit). She lets you work in groups, and she makes the classroom completely comfortable. She's not rude, she's sarcastic with a dry sense of humor. You can't take yourself too seriously. I strongly recommend her.
Don't get me wrong, she is a wonderful teacher. However, she is not like other professor's. Most professors will give you credit when due if you can back up your theory, she does not. Also, personal suggestion, if you have not already taken her and she likes you, don't take her. It was my experience that she is only nice to students she knows.
just don't do it
i liked her a lot.
BUY THE STUDY GUIDES! Her test come straight from it. Very nice teacher, keeps everything interesting and funny. Gives LOTS of extra credit, room for improvement in grades
Awesome professor. She has the most intelligent and interesting lectures I've ever heard. I'd love to take every class she teaches. She also cares a lot about her students and their questions, though she will laugh if it’s ridiculous or one she’s already answered/was about to answer. Don't give her attitude, she's your superior.
I had her for General Psych then took her again for Drugs & Addiction. She is the most amazing professor. ever. The class, especially D&A was just like a big discussion session...big group therapy! Most days we'd put our desks in a circle and she'd sit and talk with us. She's incredible. I'd take her again for anything.
I honestly don't know who is writing these comments...maybe her...BUT she is the WORST professor ever. She is rude, unclassy, and cuts you off. I can't wait until this class ends if I ever see her after I would walk right by. I have gotten straight A's forever and I'm getting a "B" because "I give too many opinions." HORRIBLE WORST EVER!
She was an amazing teacher. You actually learned in her class and never wanted to miss a lecture. I recommend her completely.
I'm going to be brutally honest. The only reason the class was interesting is because I love psychology. She's sweet and all but I find swearing utterly detestable. She swears to be cool. Besides that one thing, most of what we discussed I already knew. Test's are easy, if you studied. Don't miss class.
I took her for Drugs and Addiction course, and she was awesome! Im a psych major so I went into the class extremely stoked, but she made everything so easy to understand. She teaches tons of psych classes and I hear she is awesome in all of them. You take all your tests in group except the final! awesome awesome teacher =)
if you are taking DRUGS & ADDICTION, beware it is like attending an AA meeting every class. I get that she comes from a home life that was hard, but some of us are just psych majors. You DO learn a lot, but if you didn't grow up in an addicted family she treats you like your questions /opinions DO NOT COUNT. She curses to sound cool. Pretty easy A.
She is awesome. Her class is fun, interesting and intellectually stimulating. She uses a lot of visual materials. Group exams and extra credit assignments available. It is worth taking this class.
Ms Addelston was great in Dev Psych. I thoroughly enjoyed her class. There are group tests but hardly any other assignments so you have to, "have to" do well on the tests. Not only study what she goes over in class but definitely go over the chapters before the tests. Overall great teacher. Would take her again.
Dr. Judi is the best teacher in the entire world! I have never been so intrigued by a teacher/class as much as hers. I have taken 2 of her classes and I am taking another one with her this Fall. She is the reason I changed my major to Psychology. Anyone would be doing themselves a diservice to not take her class! She is the best of the best!
okay, i took her for general psych and she was amazing! developmental psych is great with her too! she's a great teacher, tells you like it is and really wants you to learn. her tests are done in groups.. AMAZING! she's really cool to just talk to as well.. very down to earth
Overall OK. Great teacher, keeps you interested but tests are not really based on lectures, which is frustrating. Group tests in class, not too many other assignments so you HAVE TO, HAVE TO, do good on the tests which I did not like, do not take her if you are not a good test taker. She's funny though and you will actually like going to class.
Dr. Judi is a great professor. She is a marriage and family counselor so she knows what she's teaching about. She makes terms easy to understand and you are allowed to take tests in groups of 3. The study guide book is extremely helpful and some of the test questions are directly from it. And call her "DR" Judith.
Her class discussions is really intriguing, but her tests are hard. Take her if you want to learn, but be prepared to study for the tests.
barely any homework. shes nice. she gives extra credit but they are not worth alot. she never goes over tests. they are in groups tho, but you really need to read the book or you will get nowhere. ok teacher.. ok class. dont really expect an A if u dont wanna study though.
Dr Judi is an Awesome teacher !!! All your test are done in groups of three and you have to study for the test, But your final is done by yourself and if you study your notes and study guide, you will be good to go .. Her class was very interesting....
she definitely knows her subject matter. she lives and breathes this material everyday, very informative. best advice i can give you is buy the study guide her test are directly from there. she's funny and interesting. be careful what you say cause she will not hesitate to put you on the spot.
Dr. Judi is a wonderful woman and is very informative on the subject matter. Her exams are not easy and I found reading the chapters in the textbook AND utilizing the study guide helped with exams. Even though the test can be taken in groups, it might not always work in your favor. She does provide ample EC and attendance helps your grade.
One of the best teachers ever! She sure mad a difference in my life. I wish I was back at Valencia to take her for another class
Shes so cool. funny even. but she dont play. she knw how 2 curse n she also knws how2 teach. if u wanna learn 4rm da best, take her. if u want an EZ-A... maybe dnt. but group tests are great! pick ur groups wisely n make sure they study!
Wow best teacher ever. This is the only class I LOOK FORWARD to. She's funny, she's pretty laid back, but she has no problem takin your phone! A very hands-on class. I can definitely say I learned a lot. I would reccomended her to anybody. I am taking her for psych2 also she's great. Tests are kinda hard u need to study but she let's you do groups
She is the only reason why i look forward to my tuesdays and thursdays.she makes the class so fun she knows how to joke around.All she has us do is take notes on lectures and then we have a test after 2chapters and its easy as long as you study and you can take the test in groups.No homework.This professor hands down is the best one i have ever had
Dr. Judi is an amazing professor. She definitely knows what shes talking about. Her lectures are extremely interesting and will NEVER bore you. You will always look forward to go to class. No homework or quizzes, just 4 tests that you get to do in groups. Take her, you wont regret it!
She's good at lecturing and making class interesting. But her tests are just frustrating since they don't come from her lectures or the study guide. You really have to read the text book if you want to do good on the test, which most people don't. If you aren't a good test taker, don't take her. Tests are averaged for your final grade!
Wow, Community College makes people soft. I've had Dr. Addelston for 3 classes and she's great. If you read the textbook and pay attention in class (shocker I know) you'll do great. She really makes the material interesting, and applies it to real-life scenarios from her own practice.
LOVE her!! She is SO interesting, does lots of little self analysis tests in class, she does curse, so if you are the type who doesn't like that, eh.. You take 5 exams, the lowest grade is dropped (except the final) and that's how you are graded. She's a practicing psychologist. I was always disappointed when class was over. Just don't be late! (:
She is AWESOME! She has 5 tests, drops the lowest one but the final is cumulative. She also lets you have group tests! She is very funny and easy to learn from. She also offers lots of extra credit which makes it really easy to raise your grade. I would def. recommend her and take her again!
One of the best psych. teachers at VCC. Easy to understand, very funny, group tests!. Study the notes from lectures. Do study questions. Laugh. If the class is humorous and open than she will make the time fly by and fun. You learn a lot about life. Must take, major or not.
Ms. Judi is an amazing teacher. It's not hard to pay attention in her class what so ever! She's interesting, allows group tests, and drops your lowest test score (not final)! Easy class if you pay attention, clear with what she teaches and very nice. I got a B+ i would definately recommend!
amazing teacher, amazing person. one of the few teachers that you know REALLY cares. shes smart, and makes class fun and interesting. i have never learned as much from anyone. if you dont take her, you'll regret it. amazing&brilliant lady.
Mrs. Judi is an extremely great teacher. Her class are really easy and fun. she teaches alot but it doesnt seem like your learning because she makes it fun. if she catches you using ur phone she will take it away. But overall great prof n pretty hot.
great prof really helpful. class is fun n exciting. lots of reading n referring back to the chapters but its worth it. would definitely take her again for another psych class.
I love her. The class is fun. Lot of handouts, gives homework once in a while and is not really mandatory. GROUP TEST! what else could you ask for?
I took her drugs and addiction class, and it was to my surprise, very difficult. When you study she doesn't really tell you what you should focus on. The tests were VERY specific, i always studied and got mostly C's on the test. She let's you take tests in groups of 2 or 3, but still very difficult specific questions. READ EVERYTHING.
Best Psychology Teacher Ever.My class was at 8:30 and I was half asleep but when I got to her class I was wide awake. She knows her stuff very and she makes class very interesting. I took another teacher for developmental psychology and I regret it.Take her
Her lectures are the best. I never missed a class! Get the study guide, read the chapters and go to class and you will pass no problem.
Probably one of the best professors I've ever had. Super helpful and makes the class extremely interesting. I would definitely recommend taking her.
Great professor. Really funny and thorough in her lecture. Grade is test based only, but final replaces lowest. Easy class overall but only if you study! She is awesome though, I definitely recommend her.
This professor is a good teacher, however; she is not very clear on what should be studied.I noticed that even when I studied chapters that we went over in class I was still lost on the test. In class her lectures are off whatever notes she has, she does not write notes but rather writes a word on the board and talks about it by giving examples.
She gives extra credit but, not worth doing. She will assign a movie/book and you write a double-spaced two page paper but it is only worth 1 point. So you decide.you are allowed to take group tests but the average grade of the group on the test was a high C low B. Her final review is very vague. Good teacher but should find diff way of teaching
She made the class really interesting with short videos and regular handouts. Read the book! (the book is actually interesting) Group test! (optional) If multiple people missed the same questions on a test and made a good argument as to why, she wouldnt count off for it. Great class!
She is such a great teacher. She makes the lecture so easy to understand, and the text book is really interesting. She is a great teacher!
Her class is lecture based but her lectures are GREAT AND INTERESTING! She curses too haha!! Only 4-5 tests, you can take them in groups, no homework. Gives extra credit. Attendance is mandatory but you will want to go to class, fun! Taking her again next semester!
This class is not an easy A but it's not hard to get. You have to get the book and read it, being that she really just goes over the main points in each chapter. She has four group tests and drops the lowest test grade but final is by yourself. Just study all the definitions in each chapter and you'll be fine. Also gives out extra credit.
very interesting, fun class. attendance is mandatory but its only a lecture and there is NO work at all. shes very enthusiastic, if you like psychology you will learn alot. If you dont all you have to do is show up, read the book, and take the tests and you pass
This class is night and day compared to Mrs.Dunson's class.Mrs.Addleston is much more helpful and actually teaches her students instead of reading off a power point.
A lot of fun hand outs & class discussion. I really loved the class and got a lot out of it but I'm a psyc major. The tests were a bit difficult but READ YOUR BOOK! and they you will do well. :) Great teacher though!
Ms Addelson is the best. I took her for Dev and Gen Psychology and passed with a " B"..take her you will not regret it ! Also read , read , read......you will pass
LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!!! Her class was the most interesting class I've ever taken. She let's you take your tests in groups (except for the final) and gives out tons of extra credit. A total of 4 test plus the final but she drops your lowest test grade. She makes the class very entertaining and encourages lots of discussion. Take good notes!!!
DO NOT TAKE HER! i repeat DO NOT TAKE HER. Yes yo do get to take 4 test with a partner or a group of 3 however the final you have to take it by yourself.she does assign a review but most of the questions are not even on the test. If you are crazy & end up taking her. Buy a used copy of the Book The review material online is worthless in her class.
Mrs Addelston is awesome! She is the best teacher I've ever had! Actually, after taking her class I'm majoring in psychology :))) The tests are in groups, but just read the chapters in the book and you'll be fine. She is very funny and makes class super interesting! I had her class at 830 am and never missed one day. TAKE HER! :D
Her class is easy the only thing is you dont know what will be on the test she doesnt give a study guide also for the final she does give you a study guide but the questions MIGHT be on the test. Tests are in group and no classwork just homework and tests. She makes class funny and stretch breaks to stay awake.Tests in groups except final.
THE BEST! Take her, she made the material very clear and class goes by fast. She's super nice and funny! Recommend to buy a used book. Homework took a while to complete and is due the day of the test, she also drops your lowest test score.
Greatest teacher ever! She is really nice and helpful.
Loved her ! Take this class if you want to learn. Her tests are a little difficult. Just stay on top of your notes and do your homework and you will pass. Shes very nice & makes the class interesting. Attendance is mandatory.
By far the best teacher I've ever had! I'm a psych major, so it was easy for my to pay attention but either way, she's clear with the material and makes it easy to understand. Tests are partner, except for the final which is taken individually. Attendance is mandatory if you want the extra 5 points added onto your final.
Easy A, and you will learn A LOT. She knows a lot about the subject and KNOWS how to teach it. All we have our test and HW. We get to take every test in a group except the final. HW is online and there's no way u cant pass its easy. Study her notes, the book comes with the code for hw so u need the book, or u can buy them separately. Take her :)
I find her to be a joke. She isn't mean, but her teaching style sucks. Expect to thoroughly read every chapter, even twice, to really understand the material. The way she teaches is as if you are simply reviewing. She uses foul language which to me, takes from her credibility, and her sarcasm is offensive.
Definitely an interesting course, however, if you don't do well on tests don't take it because your grade mainly comes from tests. A couple of extra credit assignments that she offers. Class discussions are always fun. All of the powerpoint presentations are available online and I only used them (not the book) when studying for tests.
I enjoyed her class, she made lectures interesting and got the class involved in group discussions. As long as you do the learn smart questions and study your notes from class, you will pass the tests. She even allowed us to have partner for our tests. The majority of your grade will come from your tests. I would take her again.
Great teacher, you have to do your work of course. Group tests, power points, and lots of group discussions.
Lazy teacher-at least for an online class. She put up no powerpoints, left no feedback, does not take late assignments at all, and basically lets the book teach the course; she isn't involved at all. I should have paid myself for this class and just bought a book from Barnes and Noble. Would not recommend.
Took online (6 wks Summer). All of the info & hw assigns come from the txt online. Boring, tedious work & discussions. As long as you complete the hw, you always get an 100% on hw. Tests are lengthy, timed & hard. The txtbk taught me, not the prof. Disappointed at the lazy teaching. Could tell things were pasted from other courses she has taught.
Professor Addleston is a very good professor, her lectures are not long & boring. If you take an early classes, take hers... she's hilarious & will keep you wide awake. The tests & quizzes aren't difficult as long as you study but since her lectures are so funny and interesting, you will pretty much remember everything for the tests.
Professor Addelston is AMAZING!! She is hilarious and makes the classroom environment light and easy! Seminars, note-taking (optional), online homework, and a test every few chapters. Offers lots of Extra Credit! You won't regret taking her! Highly Recommended! :)
I loved this class and learned so much! We had yoga breaks! She provides plenty of extra credit and as long as you do your online Homework you will pass the class. The test are group collaborations except for the final. Overall very relaxed environment and would take her again.
Professor Addelston is a great teacher. She is always open for your questions and is very straightforward with them. The class was engaging and interesting and I learned a lot. She is very funny and always there for you. She allows you to work in groups for tests and drops your lowest which is great. Overall, pretty amazing.
Best professor ever. Teaches through PowerPoints. Super hilarious and keeps the class engaged. Always there if you need help with anything. Tests can be taken in groups of three except for the final exam. Homework online is super easy and helpful but can be time consuming so do it ahead of time. Tons of extra credit chances. Will take her again.
She is a tough teacher, but gives great lectures. She is super funny, laid back,and knows what she is talking about. She does curse and make adult jokes which some may be offended by, but I did not mind them. There is a lot of homework, one project, and you can take the test in groups. Super easy to pass!!
I love how she engages the class in every lecture. It really helped me learn more in the class. Her power points are easy to follow and the homework is pretty easy. But make sure to study for the test and that's what the homework is really useful for. She's an amazing professor and I would definitely take her again.
She is awesome!! Ive taken her for both general and developmental pyschologly. Easy hw, and 5 tests and the final. Very straightforward and her lectures are interesting and funny. She knows her stuff and will give great examples! Definitely recommend her and would take again!
LOVED this class and her as a professor! Seriously I'm not just some nerd writing a review on here, I'm the average student that has trouble even showing up to class but SERIOUSLY TAKE HER. The exams you get to take with a partner, and the material is not hard to understand, not to mention her lectures are hilarious and easy to understand.
If I could write more that 350 to describe her it would be great! She is so passionate about her career and her students. Her lectures are amazing ! When you go and take the test you remember what she said in the lecture. Her test in groups (if you want to )and she drops her lowest test grade! She inspired change my major to psychology.
The subject is hard but, she is great explaining.
She was a good teacher in the beginning but then started to slack off at the end. She puts discussions up at the last minute and gives you a zero if you don't do them. I haven't seen the discussion post up and the next day I will get a zero. I can't do a discussion post if I don't see it. Don't take her!!!
It's online class so mostly ran by learnsmart and little instructor interaction, but the discussions were cool - while they did challenge your book knowledge, they did give you an opportunity to present your personal opinion which kept it interesting. Graded quickly - be prepared to read, class is harder/faster paced then gen psych
Did not try to reach out to her but she was a quick grader and actively checked up on the class progress. It was enjoyable but lots and lots of reading.
She is amazing in her field. Though she teaches a tough subject, she makes everything easy to understand and is there to answer all questions. She does assign a few APA papers along with some question heavy learnsmarts but lets you take her tests in groups of three or less! She is NOT a tough grader so just put in the work and you will pass!
Dr. Addelston is hilarious and super sarcastic. She makes her lectures/powerpoints interesting. Homework is all learnsmart assignments. Lets you take exams in groups of 2 or 3. Also gave many extra credit opportunities. Attendance is important and also does not allow cellphone usage in class. Would take again!
Great professor, just learnsmars as homework all due the same day of the exam. Plus extra creditttt ALOT ! Too easy; even the exams are group taken.
I wake up excited to be apart of her class. You feel important, your voice and thoughts matter, the whole class engages, and overall shes the best professor Ive ever had. Ive taken her for 4 psych courses and loved every single one of them. I go to UCF next semester and Id be lying if I said my heart didnt break a lil when I had to leave her.
Homework is on connect (online) no physical textbook. Do all the homework, and when its time for tests go over the homework of the chapters for the tests like twice at least. The tests may be taken in groups of three except for the final. Also if you can do the extra credit do it, I didn't do any, so had to study hard for final.
I took this class online as a flex start class, and she was a breeze! There was minimal work ethic needed. As long as you did the discussions, online homework, and the tests then you can get an A! My ONLY issue was that the homework assignments contained 60-90 questions, which is a lot to do in 1-1/2 weeks when you are taking 4 other classes.
It was like my birthday in this class everytime, all the tests except for the final you can take with a group no more than 3, HW is just modules with a bunch of questions on the chapter (you can just look it up on quizlet) overall it was like Christmas.
I took her beginning PSY class online. She was fair with her grades. I submitted assignments where I didn't give my full effort and she graded them appropriately. I'm going to seek her out and take a class with her in the classroom. I highly recommend her!!
She's the best psychology teacher ever. You'll actually learn a lot form her. Her exams are in groups or 2 but the final is alone/cumulative. I took her 8:30am class and i didn't care how early it was, it was so fun. She's really funny too. Take her!
Took online. Decent class but didnt learn much. Learnsmart hw & discussions due every week. I found a way to do the HW for the semester ahead of time but she wouldn't open discussions until week of which is annoying for an online class. Tests taken at home open book & pretty easy. Easy A but not interesting class for online format.
Professor Addelston is a great professor. You learn a lot in her class and the assignments are not that difficult. The assignments are very long though, so prepare to spend some time completing the weekly assignments. Besides that, I believe that her class is a great choice and I highly recommend it.
I love her! She's by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. She's super funny, super fair and super helpful! This is my second time taking her class because I did not trust any other teacher after having her for gen. psych. All tests but final are taken in groups, and homework due every few weeks. She inspired me to be a psychologist.
Took PSY 2012 online with Professor Addelston. SO EASY! she grades fairy. For the discussion post make sure you write paragraphs for your initial post. Tests are all online you have 70 minutes to complete 50 questions. Homework is time consuming but you keep re-trying until you get them all right. She responds to emails fasts!
Prof. Addelston is super chill and funny. All the tests are group tests except for the final. She has cool real-life examples due to her being a family/marriage counselor. The content is interesting and she explains things thoroughly without boring the class! I'm taking another psych class with her next semester!
Overall, a really nice professor. She doesn't seem to have a lot of involvement though since most of the class (online) is done through an online textbook program. All tests are multiple choice and so they are automatically graded. Answered emails and questions promptly and was helpful. Even rounded up my grade by half a point so I got an A.
This was an online course so everything was really self taught. You read one chapter per week, which are pretty lengthy but easy, along with a 500 word discussion post and two replies as well as the Learnsmart for each chapter via the McGraw-Hill website. Read the chapter, write your posts/replies. There are 4 exams and they are all very easy.
Very blunt but i appreciate her for it
