This class is so well structured. The instructions are very clear. Her power points are extremely helpful and walk you through the hardest formulas step by step. She is very helpful, always responds quickly to emails, understanding and provides lots of feedback. She also provides the opportunity of extra credit - take advantage of it.

Professor Parker is the best, her syllabus is so clear and in perfect order, she does give a lot of weekly assignments but if you stay organized you'll do fine. It's all on the power points and is not a difficult class mainly because she explains everything clearly and she does respond to her emails super fast! I highly recommend her.

Class was fairly easy but you have to keep up. There are discussions due every other week which also requires a response. There are quizzes every other week as well. She provided a great review for the final. One thing that really irritated me is she asks for your opinion on some of the discussions but penalizes you she (the assistant) disagrees.

She is a tough grader. There are weekly discussions where you HAVE to disagree with another classmate, which I think is unnecessary and points are taken off if you don't do that. She also takes points off for even the slightest reuse of any statements from her powerpoints in the discussions. Her powerpoints are useful in the quizzes.

You can do super well on the exam but if you do not do as good on a paper or group assignment, your grade WILL be hurt. She is nice and all and knows the material very well, but I just feel like her way of grading is too extreme. Not an easy A.

So much I could say about Dr. Parker. Havent even finished the course but needed to rate. I never understood stats until now. She wants you to pass. Extra credit options. Videos explaining equations. Ive messaged her about 6 times in this course for help on various stuff & she responds so quickly & enthusiastically. Take PSY3211 w/ Dr. Parker!!

Shes overall a great teacher and gives her students a chance to earn a better grade on many occasions. The final is very difficult, but a quick read over the whole chapter the day before will earn you at least a C. She is very easy to talk to and very nice. ALSO!! Uses iClicker.

She was a great teacher who really seemed to love what she did. She does assign a lotttt of homework, as well as goes extremely fast during her lectures. But honestly homework grades really are what pulled me through that class.

Honestly she's a great professor, she provides tutorial videos. She does give a lot of HW. She uses honor lock for mid term and final but not for quizzes. her tests are a bit difficult but if you study it can be manageable.

Pop quiz at the start of every class, but not bad if you read material before hand. She's very organized and really wants you to read the information in the chapters (pop quizzes + In class assignments show her how much you know). The LA's helped a lot too. She's very adamant on reading + doing the work. Don't fall behind! She cares a lot :)

AMAZING professor. Her lectures are always interesting. Assignments are straight forward and extremely easy. The exam was based on what we covered in class and she also drops your lowest exam grade. This class was an easy A I would definitely recommend.

Not an accessible professor who will address your concerns in a timely or professional manner. Provides misleading and outdated information about psychology. This is supposed to be a developmental psychologist but does not appear to be up-to-date on the field. I would take her really only if there are no other options. Relies too much on iClicker.

She's a very straightforward and organized professor and she makes announcements all the time for the upcoming projects and exams. She gives a couple opportunities for extra credit. The course itself requires lots of reading. Her PowerPoints are very simplified and easy to follow. There's an iclicker pop quiz for every class as well.

Her lectures are very informative & straightforward! Her exams are really easy just like the study guide she provides you. If you have any questions, she will gladly answer them. I've taken her for PSY2012 & PSY3211 as well & I would definitely recommend her for those classes too!

I could not recommend this professor enough!! The class had an easy workload which consisted of guided notes, an in class activity which could be done in a group, and Inquizitives. The guided notes were very helpful and made the reading much faster. Additionally, they acted as a study guide for her test which including the final were all easy.

The class itself can be tough if you're not good with stats. However, Dr. Parker is very sweet and teaches in a way that makes the material interesting and easy for students to understand. The LAs did a great job as well. The workload can be overwhelming but doable if you manage your time. My only complaint is that she doesn't teach RM2.

One of the most amazing psychology professors at FIU! Very responsive and cares for students a lot. She ensures you understand the materials and explains the most complicated concepts well. Assignments are also very reasonable, and the material load is very doable. If you want to learn something new and truly enjoy class, take her.

Homework consisted of reading powerpoints (usually 100+ slides), taking notes on that + a video (usually 30+ mins or so) as well as a preclass assgmt + inclass assgmts + tests. Not too bad if you disperse workload well. Ngl, tests were a bit rough, but not bad if you really study. Class requires a lot of effort. Not bad tho! She cares a lot!

I enroll Fall-2025 on Psychology of Adolescence with Dr. Parker, and she is incredible! A true professional who organized her curriculum to help us learn, apply, and prepare as Psychologists. She is a sweet lady, willing to help us, and her quizzes are student friendly. I want to take more courses with her.

extraordinarily well structured course. as long as you read the powerpoint, watch the playpost, then do the pre-class assignment in that order, I promise you will find the subject matter very easy to understand. This class was a piece of cake and I have nobody to thank but Dr. Parker and how well she structures the RM1 coursework. best prof so far

Dr. Parker is a really sweet professor. Her lecture playposits (also homework each week) are really good so definitely pay attention to those and take notes, they help with the exam a lot. When she lectures though, she does rush through the slides and doesn't really go in-depth with the material. You should be good as long as you pay attention!

Awesome professor! Manageable workload for a hybrid class. You have to learn the content before coming to class but all the resources (PlayPosits, powerpoint, pre class assignments) are helpful as well as her in class lectures and clicker questions. 3 exams on honorlock, but first exam and final on lockdown. You won't regret taking her!

Absolutely loved Dr. Parker! She's very passionate about what she teaches and it shows. She personally engages with her students during lectures and makes the class very easy. She gives clear instructions for assignments and provides study guides that cover everything that's to be expected on exams. She's caring, sweet, and just absolutely amazing.
