Judy is 'alright' she has the background for her position, but never ask her any questions. She never gives you a straight answer and often replies with "I don't know" which can get frustrating. Her classes are easy if you have a lot of slackers - she bumps marks for a healthy grade curve... so if your riding a B, expect an A after a difficult test

Judy is by far the best teacher I have ever had in three years of post secondary. She KNOWS what it takes for students to learn and understand rather than just memorize, and she will help you WHENEVER YOU NEED IT, hence why she is the chair of psych. Research methods may sound boring but it was the best and most useful class I have taken thus far.

Judy is a great teacher. High energy and WANTS her students to succeed. My only issue is with her exams: she gives you study concepts, but there is always too much material to review and then half of it doesn't even end up on the exam. She needs to narrow down review material because It's impossible to remember everything and get a fair grade.

Her tests were SOOOO easy. Just do the study guides she has at the back of her lecture workbook.. I don't get how people are saying her tests are hard, they do not involve critical thinking whatsoever, I don't think they could be easier. She's very easy to listen to, she makes the lectures interesting. I enjoyed her class!

Really liked that we had lots of mini-assignments so you could constantly gauge how you were doing in the class. LOVED the fill-in workbook style for class notes -- it really helped me with remembering what was taught in lectures. The final exam is CUMULATIVE but only worth 30% of the final grade. Lots of bonus points on exams & assignments

This is a pretty tough, dry, but extremely important class. Judy made it as easy as possible to grasp the concepts. She has lots of great examples and stories to make the content understandable. She wants students to succeed but you definitely have to work hard and show up to get the marks. The course notes were really well done.

She treats you like you are in highschool, she takes attendance and you lose marks if you are absent. She will take marks off if you are late for class or labs. Everything moves so slow and is so boring, the worst class I've ever taken. So uninteresting and you are babied the entire class. waste of time and money.

This class is so dry and hard to understand unless you're interested in exact terms of things that could happen in a research study. Tests are really hard even if you study and the exam study guides are ridiculous, so much to remember and it's a total gamble if it'll even be on the test.

Judy is a fantastic professor. If you took previous PSYC classes, you'll be fine in 201. The research project is easy and simple as you want it to be, and she also gives amazing feedback when it comes to written papers. Flexible, flexible deadlines. Easiest class I've had so far! She's a real gem, and humorous despite the content she teaches.

Judy is so kind and gives great feedback, the tests really aren't as hard as ppl say, however, there is a lot of material to go over so studying takes awhile.

I was so scared to take this course since everyone told me it's a hard one. However, Judy made it so easy and understandable for me. It's a heavy course so you have to work for it, but Judy is very helpful. Even Though the textbook was required, I only read her slides and still got A+. Definitely, recommend her.

I found Judy challenging. She's super kind, for sure, but I found her teaching and communication style to be tough with dense/complicated content. This made the class tough. Her exam reviews are also overwhelming with a lot of content that didn't set me up for success on exams. The booklet she made to follow along in during class was great though!

First things first, don't buy the textbook. I never used it a single time. Every lecture includes lecture assignments that she adds up at the end and can make a difference in your end grade. Judy tends to make concepts a bit more difficult then they need to be. This class was kinda hard but important.

Great prof! Her lectures are easy to follow, maybe a little too many words on slides but this class used a lecture workbook so you're not scrambling to take notes. Accidentally slept in for an exam and showed up 30 mins late, she didn't ridicule me or ask questions just gave me the exam helped me find a place to sit which was so appreciated!

This is my second class with Judy. She is a great teacher and very understanding. She offers bonus marks on exams and makes boring content as interesting as possible. She is very quick to reply to emails. I wish she wouldn't take attendance marks away for students who were sick and I wish exam outliners were given out sooner. Final exam is heavy.

A few years ago, I had a mental health crisis and had to return to my country (international student). Judy said that I had to drop out; she did not offer any alternative. I later talked to Bill Wong, who said students often received an extended time to hand in projects. Psychology teachers dismissing mental health issues is very disappointing.

I enjoyed Judy's class, she can be a little unorganized sometimes but she's very kind. During lecture she breaks down difficult concepts so they are a lot easier to understand. The research project in this class can be intimidating at first but she gives a lot of helpful feedback during each process of it and it ends up being a lot of fun!
