Very nice. very interesting class. awsome teacher
she is a grreat teacher and i would recommend her to anyone....her stories made the course interesting. a lot of experience in the field. i'd give her an A+
I highly recommend taking ANY psychology course with this professor. Not only is this professor very knowledgeable in this subject, but she is very helpful and willing to help you. She offers many ways to increase grade.
awesome professor, very interesting and funny. made things very easy to understand and got u well prepared for all tests. i recommend any and all pyschology classes w/her.
Professor Hanauer is agreat teacher. Her exams are a little uneasy but with some extra studying you'll ace them. I highly recommend Professor Hanauer.
shes such a good teacher..her tests are right from the notes and she makes everything very clear..never gives homework...no papers..so nice and a great teacher..take her!!
She is a great teacher and if I ever took another pyschology class it would definately be with her, made the class interesting and fun. Never any homework & tests were online and straight out of the book. Highly recommended!!
she is such a sweetheart. you cabn tell she has so much she wants to shrae with us
Excellent teaching skills. Brings interest to the classroom. If you take this course, take it with her!
GREAT teaching skills, wonderful personality, brings character to classroom.
Ms. Hanauer was a really fun teacher who was always willing to discuss things with me more in depthly and helped me with further studying through her connections and insights.
Very gregarious and informal. Very helpful to students. Her tests are easy. The test questions are straight from the fill-in study sheets she gives you. She does give you two papers to write though and a book report.
incredible teacher,helpful,kind.Super clear on what she wants/expects.Very low stress class.Could be a tough subject BUT not with her.Very enjoyable.WOuld only take her for all PC classes.
I LOVED HER!!!! SHES A GREAT TEACHER ADORABLE VERY HELPFUL,EASY AND A FAIR GRADER. HER TESTS ARE ONLY HARD IF YOU DIDNT STUDY.HER CLASS IS VERY INTERESTING YOU WONT LEAVE EARLY UNLESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO!!!! SHES GREAT I DEF. RECCOMEND HER!!!
What a great professor! It was a joy to enjoy this class. She made me want to learn about psychology. She tells us all we need to know for the tests. I am looking forward to taking another class with her. Easy to talk to, and truly loves what she teaches. Take her you'll love her!
sweethert, actually cares about you, not just another person she has to talk to, she will talk to you like a real person and try everything she can to help you
Professor Hanauer is one of those professors who I will never forget. She loves teaching, and she is extremely good at what she does. She makes sure that you understand everything, and she makes up review packets which contain everything you need to know for the exam. I highly reccomend her!
i love professor hanauer. she is so passionate about what she's teaching, and she has great stories and examples. she is so helpful and understanding, its my favorite class.
she made the class very interesting.
Excellent professor. Appropriately funny, interesting, academically flexible, and all-around pleasant. She's also quite intelligent and has a wealth of great stories, many of which are of her own personal experience in the psychology field. Highly recommended.
Great teacher!!!She grades fair her tests are not that difficult as long as you study.Ms. Hanauer is very helpful and very nice.She brings exerience and ease to the classroom, she has great stories. :-)
I am a psychology major and I loved her. I wich I had taken her for PC11, but I am going to take her for the last two psyc classes I need!!
She made her class interesting where I didn't want to miss it. She gave great examples of the information that helped you on the tests. i recommend her for all my friends who need to take a psych class.
I had a great time in this class. Teacher is a very interesting speaker. I loved the stories. She's very sweet and interested in helping you out.
LOVVVVVEEEE HERRRR TAKING HER FOR PC42 SOO CUTE FUNNY AND SWEET YOU WILL LOVER HER!!
TERRIBLE. WORST TEACHER didnt teach you anything and her tests were hard
She is a hottie...and smart too! What more can you ask for...
Teacher was clear and organized in her lechtures,gave good examples.Tests were not too difficult if you did the chapter review questions.More professors should be like her.
She was awsome, you have to take good notes but as long as you do that her test were a breeze!! She would stop class and answer your questions and make sure you understood until she continued class. Awsome teacher, no question about it!!
She is the best! There is a ton of info but she makes it as easy as it can possibly be to understand. Tests are easy as long as you study. She also gives a quiz for each chapter that adds to a test grade at the end. I am attempting to take a class with her again, just for an elective because she is that wonderful.
She is so sweet. Take the notes and study your notes you will do fine i would say DEF take her!!
A pleasure to learn from. Information is always clear and presented in a manner that is easy to understand. Provides alot of support to insure academic success. Do the work and you'll pass with flying colors and ENJOY IT TOO !!! Looking forward to another class with her next semester!!
Worst class everrrr!!!! Do not like this lady at alllll!!!! Save yourself and do not take her!
best teacher ever!
Awesome professor. She explains everything really well and helps prepare her students for her tests. I had her in PC11 and I wanted to take her PC60 class. She really cares about her students.
She is a wonderful teacher and explains information very clear. She is very interested in your questions and comments.
Outstanding teacher!! Very informative and listens to each student and question. Wants to help each of her students learn and succeed.
Shes an awesome professor that def cares about her students. shes always willing to listen, and will repeat herself a million times if asked, its an interesting course because she is still young and tries to relate to her students alot.
All I can say is AWESOME!!!!!! I never liked psychology until I took her class. Great professor and very interesting.
Great professor but overloads you on information.
This is a good class. We mostly just talk about stuff. The mid term was very easy. She gave you a sheet with the questions that could be on the test and where to find them in the book. That was the only time we ever used the book. The project she has you do are kinda dumb, but mindless. She is a great person though.
She is an awesome teacher. She is funny and always has interesting stories to tell. Her tests are easy enough if you study. She gives open book online quizzes, which makes it very easy to keep your grade up. I am going to take her for PC80 too. I highly recommend her.
terrific professor. helps explain everything until it is impossible not to understand. tells alot of stories about her job, which by the way is very interesting, to help the class gain understanding of the class. If you hav eto take this class, definately take the professor!
She's great. She may seem a bit sarcastic at times but she's really into what she does and she explains everything until everyone understands. Her tests are kinda brutal especially if you hate questions that include "All but" or "Not"Be careful! Overall, great professor and easy grader on papers as long as you do what she asked. Take her! :)
Absolutely love her. Shes passionate about her work and knows her material. She may come off intimidating but isnt. She s a sweetheart and if you are interested in the field shes more than will to help you and lend her knowledge:)
Hanauer writes the good reviews herself. Don't get fooled. When she sees a bad one written about herself, she writes 10 phoney good ones! Told me herself! Really the class stinks.
ehhh shes aright i guess...i had her for developmental psych & womens psych. what is i didnt get great grades but i didnt get bad grades either i was average and she gave me a D+ in both! she likes to single students out so watch out if your outgoing..i would ask someone what page were on and she would point it out that i was talking! so annoying!
mm mmm didnt like her & i like everyone!
i can't believe what i read. I thought that she was great. I learned an incredible amount in such a short amount of time. if you don't want to learn and just want to coast by, don't take her, but if you want to get something out of your classes and have a real idea of psych, def take prof Hanauer.
I took her ab normal pschc class in fall 06 it was a AWESOME class. we had to read a book and write a paper, at first i thought "omg what is this ish" but i actually enjoyed writing the paper i learned a lot from her she is a really good professior....the tests were not easy but if you studied they were
I took her for Psych of Women. I was one of 5 guys in the class. She was very fair. She can be a little out there when it comes to assignments. But, as long as there is some effort shown, she is a princess. Class involvment is key.
didnt like her...annoying little thing on a power trip and BORING
Best Prof ever. Study and you will get a good grade on test. Extra credit aval. Paper-connect it to class & u will do good. Notes are crystal clear. Study them & u will never have to read the book. She will explain things over and over to make you understand. Always there for office hours. I Luv her, I will be taking all of the PC classes with her!
bad comments about her were most likly b/c they got bad grades.She gives excellent notes. don't need the book because her tests are right off the notes.She will explain something over until you understand. Extra credit avail.You do have to study, she isn't an easy A,but you will learn something. Took other psych classes & there are worse teachers!
Definantly no power trip with this teacher. She wants you to learn and to be able to aply psych to the real world. Extra credit is avaliable. I am so upset she isn't teaching PC60, I dread any other psych professor. TRUST ME I am a hard rater on here and she is one of my favorites!

Not a fan of this professor at all - steer clear. Did well in the class, but it was not enjoyable. Played favorites and seemed annoyed if you asked a question.
treated us like children. played favorites - and even gave some students therapy in her office!
i took 3 classes with her. she is the best by far. she is very personable, fair grader, loves what she teaches. There's not one thing i can complain about. I toatally recomend her!!
Great teacher very nice. Made class very fun. I took the summer classed and breezed through with an A. Makes jokes and is easy to approach. highly reccomend
Amazing Teacher!! I loved her she loves psychology and makes everything very clear and easy to understand. Take notes and study and you will ace every test and if for some reason you don't understand she is very helpful I am taking her again for Abnormal Psych. :)
By far my favorite professor at Suffolk. I took her for intro and abnormal. Very interesting and really knows psychology. 4-5 tests(all multiple choice and right from her lectures) and 1 paper. If you pay attention in class and find psychology at all interesting you'll do good.
Shes really really sweet and her class is extremely interesting. The tests arent to difficult etiher as long as you pay attention in class.
Sweetest, kindest woman ever. Her lectures are LONG but interesting. Makes up stories so things are easier for you to understand. She speaks slowly for you to take notes, and will explain the topic until the class gets it. Exams are OKAY if you study! USE THE TEXTBOOK and TAKE NOTES and do ALL PAPERS and you will pass
Psychology of Women, don't ignore this class b/c it contains word women. one of the must take classes. She is one of the best professor at the Suffolk. one research paper, two surveys,1 presentation, take home midterm and final are m/c. very interesting class you will never regrat for taking it.
My absolute favorite professor at suffolk. I've taken her for intro, abnormal, and psych of women and I love her. Just take notes pay attention to her and you pass and her test are right out of her lectures all she wants is to see an effort so ask questions participate and you'll breeze through. She's really nice!!!
Great teacher!! Really knows her stuff.
Very cool teacher. She is young but with a lot of experience in psychology field.Her classes are very interesting, she always have a related story.You never sleep in her class and enjoy it to the end.If you read the chapters and take notes, you 'll do great. There is not surprises on the tests. Highly recommended!!
AMAZING. Gives examples for everything, so you always remember the terms and definitions. This class has a lot of notes, but she makes it VERY fun and has a lot of discussions with the class. Easy to talk to if you need help. Doesn't give homework. Tests are easy if you read over the notes and pay attention in class. :)
not bad
She is great. Very nice, easy to talk to, passionate about teaching. Would absolutely reccomend taking her class.
She was very sweet and did a lot for her students
I had Hanaeur in her Winter 2009 Psych class and she really was great. Not an easy class but definitely not hard as long as you keep up with the work! She tells hilarious stories and definitely keeps you interested in what she's talking about. I would only take her for psych if I were you.
Great teacher. She will answer any questions and will explain until you understand. speaks clearly. is enthusiastic about the subject. I would definitely recommend her
Great teacher, helpful.
great teacher
She is good teacher,daf take her
good teacher, i got an A in her class
Prof Han was an incredible professor. It was easy to listen to her lectures. The material was difficult but she made it easy to digest. She had a tremendous influence on my career goals and helped me find a school to transfer to.
Online class. Best way to keep up with material is to outline assigned chapters and define boldface and italicized words as if you were in an in-person class. Online materials helpful in reinforcing what you've learned and acting as ongoing asssessment. Start work on term paper/case study as early as possible
Hated this online class. Tests, tests,& more tests. All timed(75 q"s in 70 min)so you aren't able to use notes or text. 10 page paper,weekly discussions & additional online work. Didn't return emails,she advised she would curve & provide xtra credit,never did. so surprised she is rated so high here.I had a 3.7 gpa before this class. Avoid her onlin
nice lady
enjoyed this class. i took this class over the summer and it was very interesting . she gives tests from her notes .
Wonderful Professor..funny and makes it easy to learn I will take her for subsequent courses
I LOVED HER! I really enjoyed her class! Her powerpoints included so much information that I really didn't need to go back and use the textbook. She has a great sense of humor and tells great stories that relate to the subject. I got 100 on her paper, and everything you need to know is on her website! Really easy class. I absolutely loved her!!
This professor is great! If you know her slides well, you can do great on the test.
Dr Hanauer is one of the best professors Ive had. Always willing to put in extra time to clarify something if you need it. Has open office hours for any student who needs help. Is willing to email, and phone if your schedule does not work with hers. Her examples during class (talking about her family etc.) really help to understand the material.
I was dissappointed, after reading all the things on here but she was not interesting at all. she uses powerpoint for her lectures she needs better teaching skills. Shes nice but I didnt like her classs at all. It was really boring.
I took professor Hanauer for intro to psych, and child psych, she is the best teacher i have had! She is the person who made me decide to go into psychology. You have to pay attention in class & show up, otherwise you won't do well. But she is extremely helpful & willing to work with you. Best teacher ever!!
Professor Hanauer was great. Class really wasnt that hard. She gave one paper that was only 5 pages and she was very helpful though the whole thing. she always reviews the day before tests and there is barely any homework. the paper is on anything you want it to be. and she is def attractive for her age which is much younger than she actually is
Very Nice and helful, he uses her own slide shows each class and then explains them in greater detail.
Best professor I've ever had! She is extremely helpful and very clear while explaining. If you take notes and do the practice tests online then you should have no problem getting a B+/A
After taking this class, I decided to major in psychology because she is so awesome! I highly recommend her
Prof. Hanauer is really an amazing teacher! I had zero interest in psychology, but her way of teaching really got me interested! She uses real-life examples and funny stories to convery her messages! Show up, pay attention, take notes and do any extra credit and you should be fine! I got an A in the class! She is very helpful!
She is a good teacher when she wants to be. Didn't like how she spoke to the class like children and she was ALWAYS late and kept us till the very last minute. Hardly any homework and easy papers. She's nice when she wants to be and can be fair sometimes. Overall she's pretty good. She got me to love psychology so I recommend her.
not a very helpful teacher and the work is to confusing to understand. the test and quiz answers are impossible and worded to confuse and trick u. She is definatly not the best psych professor at SCCC.
Great teacher! Made psychology interesting. Always had relevent stories to add to the lesson which helped during testing. Her tests are practically all from notes and slides, doesnt just rush through them. Take good notes & study them & you will pass. Gives many opportunities for exra credit as well. Would take any of her classes again.
she was an absolutely awesome teacher!
I took Dr. Hanauer's online Abnormal Psych class, and it was very enjoyable. She has clear cut expectations of you for her class, and it can be a little bit of work, just stay on top of it! The online class was my first and it was enjoyable, although I wish I had taken her actual class, since I've heard great things about her!
Loved her class! She's very nice and gives great examples of what she's teaching. Offers a lot of extra credit and let's you ask questions about tests. She also curves them sometimes. Always easy to get in contact with. I would recommend her :)
Great professor but you have to make time to do the work. She makes her expectations very clear, and is very welcoming for extra help. She is strict about absences so stay on top of that . Her review sheets are very helpful. Overall she is a caring fair professor.
4 tests no final one 5 page paper can be absent up to 5 times but after twice she deducts points from your final grade, very nice and sweet, homework is online (textbook is free online) better to do it and get a bad grade than to not do it at all. she is an interesting teacher if you like psych, has great stories. gives extra credit
Great teacher !! Has so many good stories, I would recommend her ! Tests are hard you need to read and deffinitly do the online homework. Take good notes, her lectures are very interesting. Does give many extra credit opportunities. Gives one five page paper, was very easy I recieved an A on it!
Great teacher! She really makes psychology enjoyable for me. Get ready to read! Deffenitly has high exprectations but as long as you keep up with the homework and readings and do alittle extra on your own time , you should be fine. Take advantage of the extra help. Has office hours on Sundays through email which is convienent.
She's a great professor, there are 4 tests they aren't bad at all and the launchpad exercises are a great study tool for them. There's one 5 page case study you have to do but she gives plenty of time to finish it. You'll get 100 on all discussion posts if you follow her directions and she leaves feedback on all of them as well. I recommend her!
She took her own personal issues out on the class. Tests were very hard and she gives you hours worth of homework online. Worst professor at Suffolk
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!! I payed attention in her class and took notes and still failed her class. Her test her hard and her review sheet have nothing to do with the test, she goes so slow and takes about things that have nothing to do with the topic.
Struggled a lot in her AB PSYCH class but she is a very understanding and caring. Tests are lengthy and a bit more on the difficult side but if you work for it, you will receive a good grade and she gives a ton of vital information if you're looking into psych as a profession
took hours for me to do hw online from launchpad. very tough grader on paper
Dr. Hanauer is a wonderful professor. Her feedback is very helpful and she responds to emails quickly. Weekly chapter assignments and analysis, three exams, and a two page reaction paper. Textbook is online. I definitely recommend her course if you're looking for a good online class
Doctor Hanauer is one of the most caring teachers at Suffolk. She has so many interesting stories, you'll learn a lot from her.
She is hands down the coolest professor in Psychology. She gives you just enough information, but the rest you have to earn, Great class overall would absolutely take her again
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! She acts like shes there to help but really isnt. sometimes she goes off about something not even related to what she was just talking about.. her tests have nothing to do with her review sheets and are VERY difficult. shes a VERY hard grader and if you dont give it your all your not passing...
She was just alright. I took Psychology of Gender but she kind of turned it into a Psychology of Women class. Only really graded us on opinion papers and group projects, but individual topics which made no sense. Final that she told us about the class before the final. I would take again because it was easy but she was annoying
I love Prof Hanauer! She really cares about her students & preparing them for their time at SCCC, making sure they understand all resources available. She makes the material interesting and is more than fair in her grading. Some online learning with tests and a few short papers but nothing at all difficult. I would def take another class with her.
Dopest Dope I Ever Smoked.... She is an amazing teacher. Don't skip class or you are doomed for failure. She loves what she does and you can tell. You have to earn your grade in that class she helps out a lot. ATTENTION is most definitely needed for class
I took abnormal psych with her, and I will not do so again. Her tests are very specific, and are often worded poorly. Be prepared to memorize each chapter, despite her saying her tests are mostly lecture based. The most insignificant peice of information will find it's way onto the test. She graded her paper very harshly, and barely anyone got an A
Very nice, if eccentric, professor. Really knows what she is talking about, and has some real world stories that supplement the material well. Lots of extra credit opportunities too. The homework and textbook are both online, and they take a while to get through but really help with the tests. She makes slides that pull from the text and help a lot
I loved Professor Hanauer, she is always accessible outside of class. The syllabus looks like so much on the first day of this online class but it is really not that tough once you get used to it. Weekly chapter assignments, pre/post/video quizzes. Very easy and all from the textbook. One case study. The exams are tricky and there are 4 of them.
Very nice teacher, overall not very happy with the course itself. There is a lot of online work that can be very overwhelming and lots of information on tests. The workload isn't too bad unless you fall behind, then you're screwed. Good environment in classroom, but you need to study and stay on top of work or you're in trouble.
I have taken 3 online classes with Dr. Hanauer and she is just the best! She really cares about each student and provides feedback on every discussion. Weekly discussion posts based off the online textbook and four exams. none of her classes are hard or a heavy work load as long as you pay attention to due dates. Very attentive love her
I've taken 2 classes with Dr Hanauer. I took exceptional child and abnormal psychology. I'm so glad I did. She is always there if you need her o talk about something or anything! She always answers emails. 20 points extra credit. Online hw which is very easy. 4 tests. She is the sweetest and cutest lady ever! I wish I was taking more classes w/ her
At first reading the syllabus it seems overwhelming but once you break it down it's actually a fair amount of work. There are weekly discussions (summary and reflection of chapter), pre/post/video quizzes (very easy and all from the textbook). One paper. 4 exams, read the textbook and follow the information she gives and you'll pass.
This teacher never helps you at all. I'm taking her online class for PSY 213 and she doesn't get back to on time or talks to the class. We have discussion where we can ask question and not once has she help us. I like online classes but not with this teacher.
She is NOT responsive to students and is not very helpful. I would not recommend her online classes.
Online quizzes for every unit. She gives extra credit spread throughout the semester. Passes around a sign in sheet every class so you're penalized if youre absent more than 3 times. One major paper and 3-4 tests. Everything else is online work.
Shes great, she really cares about her students and you can even ask her for help in general with anything. Great class just do the work & projects and youll pass
She is very caring, sometimes goes on little tangents about her personal stories but gets through the important material. She is SO caring and very sweet. She helped me outside of class a lot. Her tests are multiple choice so theres really no tough grading. We had to do one paper, two parts, a case study and a research. -Sarah Thomas, thank u prof
Professor Hanauer is the best ! Had her for psy 101 and college seminar. She has organized notes on power points she goes through during class with plenty of examples. She is a very intelligent woman and cares about her students success, offers many extra credit assignments, tests are straight forward if you pay attention to her lectures.
Class is easy overall. Tests are online and not that difficult. Homework is also online. Just do what is assigned and you should get at least a B
An absolute sweetheart. She does have the tendency to go off on personal story tangents, but they always do apply to what she's teaching us. She does make sure to clarify things and doesn't mind, even encourages, people asking questions. The tests are multiple choice. There is one paper that she does grade a bit harshly on, but overall, great.
5 tests. ODE hw, must understand the info for the test Bc its not just memorization. Doesnt reply to emails a lot. Some chapters were 50+ slide. Shes a nice person. 4 assignments for extra credit 5 pts each. For the amount of work I did , I deserve an A. Its Just too much. This was during quarentine. dont take her class it used up hours!!!
Love this professor!! If I could take her for every class I would. Since everything was online due to COVID, she made lecturers via powerpoint which was awesome. She made it interesting and taught me so much through a screen. Pay attention to the powerpoints and take notes because thats what the quizzes are based off of! Do that and its a easy A.
Amazing professor
She is down to earth and her lectures are interesting based off of her personal experiences. She is flexible with grading on unit tests, and allows for extra credit. She assigns homework that is given in advance, complete it at your own pace, and it is graded on effort. By far one of my favorite classes! take her class!
I loved hanauer! she's a great teacher and you can tell she's really meant to be a psych teacher, as she uses a lot of real life experiences for examples. makes difficult terms easier to understand and has great studying strategies. the class is definitely a lot of work, but she does a LOT to make sure you'll pass :)
Julie Hanauer is amazing professor! You can tell she knows what shes talking about. Provides lecture powerpoint slides with the reading chapters to get a better grasp. It is a lot of online homework on Launchpad (chapter readings, videos, quizzes, clinical choices) all of which is not due until each exam. Four exams all count as 85% of grade.
Amazing professor! Long lectures but only because she takes time to explain concepts in detail, so you really understand it. A lot of online homework but its really not that bad. Shes a really kind and caring person who wants to see everyone succeed.
I enjoyed taking her PSY101 course and learned a lot from it. It consists mostly of lectures, HW on Launchpad (not difficult if you read the assigned book chapters), and tests every few weeks. She gives you enough time to prepare for the tests and get the HW assignments done. Her lectures were great because she also gave great examples and stories.
Dr. Hanauer is great! She was my PSY 101 prof and took her class again. She gives a lot of real-life examples so students can understand the topics. Make sure you do the extra credit, keep up with vantage homework & read the book. She is always available for her students. I love her energy & stories. A very knowledgeable, caring and sweet Prof!
AMAZING professor. 100000/10 would recommend!!!!
Dr. Hanauer is an amazing professor. I Took her class online, she uses PowerPoints, take a lot of notes on those, she bases the test on them. There is a lot of reading, frequent test about 5 (all multiple choice), but as long as you do the homework and participate in class you'll get a good grade. She offers a couple of extra credit assignments.
I struggle memorizing things so maybe that's why I didn't fully enjoy the class but she's a good professor. Get ready to read a lot if you take this class!
Has powerpoints then online homework that doesn't relate to them. So while you're doing the homework you have to forget everything you learned because "only the powerpoints matter!!" Why are we even paying $100+ for the online program she makes us use? Syllabus is scary. God forbid you get sick around a test, only one doctors note a semester.
you couldnt fit those lectures in a 3 hour class if u wanted....too much hw..we have other classes too yknow
This professor was amazing! She really cares about her students and applies real life situations to help learn material. Taking good notes and listening in class really helps a lot. I would definitely take her again!
Nothing bad to say about professor Hanauer.
She is the toughest grader that I've experienced in college. I've attended 4 colleges now and she was just ridiculous. Her paper is a "creative writing" paper but takes away points if you get at all "creative." I'm an English major... I know how to write a paper and follow directions. I have a 3.5 GPA and she totally destroyed it. Thank you Julie.
She Skipped certain subjects because it was too "emotional." Telling us to read on our own because she didn't want to upset anyone. Don't be a teacher for that class then, students need to learn how to deal with death and harm especially if there are medical field students in your class. Her lectures are okay but dull, I do not recommend.
Gives wayyy too much hw, tests aren't really relevant to the material... gets distracted into side stories too often, we didn't even finish the criteria and I genuinely could not retain anything from this class
Absolutely ruined my GPA. It was a freshman seminar class. Graded everything ridiculously hard and gave the most random assignments. Was rude and unhelpful. It was a required class for all freshman and gave feedback that made no sense and acted like it was an true academic class, keep in mind I went to every class and did all the work on time
Great professor, really explains concepts well and lectures are never boring. Truly fascinating life stories that help you learn and remember the material.
Professor Hanauer is so sweet! I enjoyed her class and had to take it for my degree, when she listed through examples of any metal illness we went through she would bring physical examples like when we did schizophrenia she brought in papers and journal entries from a client she worked with to show us what schizophrenia looks like!
Hanauer is a sweet person however this semester has been exceptionally hard. I find the tests to be very difficult. I personally did not enjoy the class.
Professor Hanauer is great at explaining concepts. The class does have a heavy workload, but using resources like unstuckstudy alongside the textbook can make it manageable. Overall, a rewarding learning experience.
Not the greatest professor. Alot of homework and notes had to be done for tests that were pretty hard. Had to use proctorio for tests and she looked at how much time you spent doing homework on vantage. gave lots of extra credit opportunities which was nice, as well as gave good grades for discussion posts.
Professor Hanauer is an amazing professor in my opinion. There are 5 exams and each one covers 2 chapters so it's not too overwhelming at all. It's extremely hard to fail because you can get up to 20 points of extra credit from relatively easy assignments. Would 100% recommend. I'm taking lifespan development with her next semester as well.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! End of conversation. The homework assignments are overwhelming and CRAZY. She literally made me waste money $100 for online access to ebook and assignments. She didn't do a review for the first exam or give a study guide because "there wasn't enough time"! how is that fair! She had her exam monitored online. Pick a diff prof.
Professor Hanauer was very helpful and interactive. Her assignment instructions were always clear and easy to follow. I took her courses for 2 semesters and they were both great learning experiences.
my favorite professor
One of the best professors I've had. It was an online class. You have to buy the textbook in order to do your homework (very easy). Basic discussion post every week. Tests are fair if you study. The homework average, along with your discussion post average will help your overall grade in the class if you aren't doing well on the tests.
Not a nice professor. If I was you, I would rather choose a different one.
Good professor but not an understanding one. She often gets side tracked a lot. Also she's very STRICT on attendance. So if you are the type to skip classes, skip classes due to personal reasons or have emergency's I wouldn't take her. She wants proof of every absence.
She is a wonderful Professor. She truly does care about her students and the coursework. She provides excellent examples and talks about her time as a psychologist. I think she's truly one of a kind at Suffolk. She genuinely cares and shows it. I'm sad I won't get to take any more of her classes.
