Dr. Welsh was a great teacher. She made lectures interesting to listen to and still was able to get the material across very well. You only need to use the book right before a test and she tells you what pages will have info thats on the test. If you pay attention in lecture and read the pages before the test you should definetly get at least a B.

If you don't mind keeping up with reading your book, definitely take Dr. Welsh for intro psych. Be careful because she doesn't bump your final grade at all, but the material is very straight forward. Homework and classwork is easy, so as long as your test grades are good, the class should be an easy A.

Such an awesome class! Dr. Welsh is one of the most interesting and engaging professors I've ever had - I've taken 3 of her classes. As long as you go to class (and trust me - you'll want to), do the reading (which I always waited to do until the day before the test and made an A) and do all of the homework and quizzes, you will do fine!

Dr. Welsh is incredible! You'll never get bored in class because she uses lots of group activities to enhance your learning. She's very funny! However, you do have to read before coming to class. That's the only homework you'll ever have though besides studying for tests. She really makes the class interesting and I learned a lot. Take her!!!

I loved Dr. Welsh! She was super fun and knew a ton about what she was teaching. There was quite a bit of reading since this was a flipped classroom model but she made class very interesting. We also had group activities in class but they were fun. All of the tests and quizzes were multiple choice! She also offered extra credit for each test!

Dr. Welsh is one of my favorite professors. She does assign more homework than the average professor, but the assignments helped me retain the info. Her exams are easy if you study. It's college, get over it! She tells you the EXACT pages to read for the exam so you don't waste time reading other info that won't be on the exam. Very fun class!

While the test require you to reread through lecture notes a few times and read the exact pages she tells you, they are straight from the information we learn- so they are not tricky. Her lectures are really interesting and she does a good job of making awkward topics more fun. Would definitely take her and this class again!!

Welsh is one of the best teachers I've ever had throughout my three years of college. She is outstanding- an amazing woman, gives fantastic lectures, easy assignments, and she announces due dates several days in advance and each class period until it's due.

Amazing professor. Gives entertaining & informative lectures. Attendance is via occasional clicker Qs. Tests are all MC, non-cumulative. Papers are easy. Textbook is suggested, b/c some Qs on tests are from it. Would recommend and take another class w/ Welsh again if I could. Possibly best lecturer Ive had so far.

Dr. Welsh is the greatest professor I've ever had! She's fun and loves to have fun with the topics we talk about. It really is interesting and eye-opening at the same time. Her tests are specific, but if you study and take notes and pay attention and read, you should be good. The only con is to get an A, it is a 93.5%, rather than the typical 93%.

I love her so much, she's great at explaining the material in a way that's actually interesting. She assigns readings and reading quizzes that are due before almost every class, but it's great bc I would only have to study for tests for like 10-30 minutes since I basically already knew the material. I'd always make high B's or A's on the tests

Wonderful teacher and interesting class! The only thing I did not like is that she uses the flipped class, so there is always homework throughout the week and weekends. It is mostly just reading the textbook and taking a quiz before each class. Overall though, she is a very nice teacher and the class is easy.

Really nice & caring, the only thing that sucks is you have to make a 94 (not a 93) to get an A in the class. Other than that, a solid choice for a major elective

Dr. Welsh is great, but her flipped classroom- not so much. This class is a lot of work for an intro class. The problem with this class is you teach yourself EVERYTHING and in order to get an A you need a 93.5%, so you can only miss a few ? per test (5 tests/1 cumulative final). This class was a lot of work but she is very funny and caring!
