Very good instructor; helpful and makes class fun.
greatt teacher.. hilarous
She is an excellent teacher. Her class is one of the funnest classes I have exprienced at SMC !
Gunn makes class fun and interesting. I really like the fact that she makes you participate and get to know the other students through class projects. In my class, she doesn't have tests, but the graded assignments are hard.
the greatest teacher ever. Extremely funny and nice. Interesting lectures and no tests
The class is easy if you attend and read the book. The book is pricey - $60 - $80. But the teacher is awsome. She is organized and fun. She knows how to make you not want to sleep in the class. I took an evening class and never left earlier. No tests!
Dr. Gunn is very communicative and clear. Very fair and keeps the lecture stimulating.
She is by far the best professor i have ever had. organized, clear, fun, helpful. The one class that i don't want to miss.
Very fun teacher. Has her own methods of helping the students learn material that doesn't focus so much on testing. Really makes class fun and encourages A LOT of open class discussion.
Excellent professor
The best profossor I ever had,No test but need to do papers every two weeks. Well organize,Feed back, Make you understand the text book, Free to ask questions,Good teaching skill,Not require good Inglish skill, Take these class
I really enjoyed her class. She is honest, clear, and she really does want you to learn. Do all the assignments, participate in class, and ask questions. I bet you will love her class. She is really experienced, energetic, and funny. :)
SHE IS THE BOMB! I ENJOYED HER CLASS THE ENTIRE SEMESTER. THERE WAS NEVER A DULL SUBJECT NOR CHAPTER THAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE BOOK. SHE ADDS LOTS OF FLAVOR AND KNOWLEDGE WHEN TEACHING HER STUDENTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR.
Best teacher of SMS, Funny , helpful and easy to talk to. Class is easy if you do the Homework
Dr. Gunn is a part of SMC, they even put her picture on top of the web page. Awesome prof! Funny, engaging, knowledgable. She teaches in a nontraditional method that uses groups a lot, but it works. Class isn't too hard and you'll look forward to it.
Look, I took psych in a regular class and i HATED it. I struggled and eventually took a W. BUT Dr. gunn made it so fun i love it and her class. I love her grading system and her exmples. She loves to interact w/ Students!! MUST TAKE!
Her midterms and final cumlative is hard no quizess at all. four class activity paper and two criqtiues. strict on people getting lazy..wants you to learn..best in deparment everone else sucks. i loved writting papers for the class...group work/discussion
LOVE HER CLASS. Very funny teacher and you learn the material. She makes all the material very interesting. You will never want to miss her class.
I loved this teacher. If she knows that you are putting in the effort you are bound to do well in the class. Papers are easy and they are worth most of your grade. Great class!
Wonderful Prof. Give midterm and final. Today I took the final and it was harder than the midterm. However,she is extremely helpful, energetic. If u are coming out of high school take her-u wont regret it.oh u do projects which are fun and worth 100pts.
Best teacher I've had at SMC. Brings everything to life and made the time pass extremley quickly. The only thing is her mid term and final were extremley hard. It sounded like she was going to get rid of it though!
She is the reason why I decided to major in psychology.
OH YEAH! Ever since I took her class, I really felt welcomed. She likes to joke a lot, have fun while she is teaching. She really makes the best of the semester. Very easy, not fast or slow, AND I never had 1 test or quiz in her class. SHe is the best.
The best professor I have ever had. Indeed, she is very funny and really an amazing character. All her personality adds up to a great time in psychology!!!
Wow, she really is something. She is really funny and destroys the stereotype of psychology being dry and boring. LOVE HER I WISH SHE COULD TEACH MORE CLASSES. TAKE HER it's a must...if you don't you miss one of SMC's best attractions
Incompetent prof. who cracks jokes in class but does not prepare you for diff. exams. Unapproachable & unfriendly. Prev. students give her high ratings because she cancels class in advance to do "proj." or lets us out early because she's too lazy to teach, & come test time, there's no mercy.
this lady is simply great. enough said.
She is a great teacher! I was only able to take half the class but she is cool and really cares about her students. She can seem a little unaproachable but that is just a front and once you get over that she is an awesome teacher. She tells many jokes in class and makes psychology very interesting.
she's awes0me! at first i was intimidated by her looks,, but wait till you get into class,, she loves canceling classes,, and give extra credits,, just take her!
"SHE IS THE BOMB!" She is such an incredible teacher that everyone should take her class. She is so hilarious that no one could ever fall asleep in her class. Though everyone has to study hard at home for exams, she teaches in class in an interesting way that everyone would understand the basics.
Dr. Gunn is an excellent teacher. Her class is a little harder but very funny with her jokes. She likes to encourage all of her students and help them with some x-credit. I wish she could be my only instructor for the rest or my study life as a psychology major. Take her you won't regret!!!!.
Great teacher!!! Really fun and interesting, I recommend her to all students even if Psych. isn't their major...
dr gunn is cool, she keeps it real and ghetto but she knows her stuff, u just gotta keep up with the reading and make sure you study. Class is entertaining but exams are hard.
Dr. Gunn is an excellent psychology teacher. You will get a good grade in her class if you do the reading (a lot), study it, and the assignments. Just don't expect this class to be an easy A.
No Comments
She is hilarious and makes class very interesting. However, her tests are hard, and u will have to study a lot. Gives lots of extra credit though...Definetely take her!
GREAT TEACHER!!! She rocks. Even if you're not interested in Psych she still keeps u laughing and interested throughout class. Tests are slightly hard but that's psych for ya. It can't possibly get easier in ANY other psych class.
i was skyptical of who to take then i heard from my freind take her she is the best...and she really is the far by the best for psych one...two test that are not to heavily weighted..a final and four assigments that are way worth more then her test and fnal..got a b because of my last paper was late
BEST PROFESSOR BY FAR SMC HAS TO OFFER
Gunn is so fine! She is not only the nicest, but she always gets her points across in an entertaining way. I am taking her in the mornings, and I love me some hot coffee if you know what I mean. Definitely take her.
She is so inspiring, and keeps you entertained. As long as you do the work and study, you will be fine. She is the teacher to take for psych.
Gunn is by far the best teacher ive ever had.. she gives out a lot of activities which are basicly free points.. her tests arent very easy but if you study and read the book you will do well. The best thing about her class is that your grade is not only based on tests.. therefor its easy to get an A.. i LOVED her, and i cant wait to take her again
i highly recommend her! she's so nice! and very passionate and helpful as well! she r0cks!
this professor kicks ace. she is non-subjective when it comes to grading and even throws in helpful comments. does not pick favorites! she makes psych class interesting as well as enjoyable -has a great sense of humor! very caring towards students and and quite honestly, a wonderful person at heart. do the reading and use the helpful study guide :)
A very charismatic teacher. Her lectures are fun, however, to do well on tests you have to read the book. Her writing and class assignments aren't hard at all, so just do the reading and enjoy her lectures to do well.
Dr. Gunn is by far the best professor I have ever had. She breaks everyting down with her personal experiences that keep you on the edge of your desk! If you have an open mind and a sense of humor you will LOVE this class!
Her class is a joke. I am a Psych major, and I felt like I was in kindergarten. Take this class for an EASY A, but you won't learn anything. When she doesn't know something, she just BS's and thinks of some pop culture reference.
No Comments
funny. clear lesson. have to read in order to do good in the quiz.
Awesome teaher! she really does make class fun! you will learn a lot and have fun with her! she would be so funny to go and have a drink with!
I am also a Psych major and this is the best Intro to Psychology class I could have ever hoped to find. She is funny, smart and attentive to her students' needs. Anyone who has a problem with her teaching style needs to get a life and lighten up. She is a true gem.
best teacher that ever stepped foot into the class she makes a boring class fun and make you want to come to class also makes you want to learn therefore getting u a good grade her lectures are fun and the ones who didnt like are people who don't have any humor in them
She's an excellent professor. Very clear on subjects, and she makes the class interesting... One of the best professors in SMC... Take her.
she's a bomb! very funny in a way. lol take her class!
funniest teacher ive ever had. i had her 8 in the morning and she woke me up every time. shes really clear and makes the subject fun so you actually are eager to learn and usually earn a good grade.
excellent educator! and most important a great human being. I love her!
A fantastic professor with a passion for the subject! She really wants all her students to succeed and is very clear with what she expects from her students. Fair grader, very helpful! Overall just read and you should be fine; the tests are pretty easy! Gunn rules!
Doc Gunn
Dr. Gunn has been the best professor I've had yet. She is real laid back and will help you if you need it. As long as you read the book and the study guide, its an easy A. She makes you wanna get involved in the class even your not at the begining. Take Her!!!!!!!
By Far Dr. Gunn has been the best teacher i've ever had. I have taken every single course that she teaches because of her energy, vitality, humor, and above all - knowledge of the material. It's not a hard course if you want to learn. Read the material, pay attention and participate! I can't rave enough for Dr. Gunn. Sincerely - Astra G.
Best Teacher EVER!! sooo funny..i have this class as a night class and she really knows how to teach the subject..lots of in class activity and she really connects to you..must take!!!
Dr. Gunn is an amazing professor. I certainly enjoyed her class as a student. She was very precise. She teaches the class in a very nice manner with lots of visuals. She's very helpful It was the easiest scholar's class I ever took.
Entertaining class. Read the book.
this class was one of the dopest classes ever, Dr. Gunn is an awesome educator, person, keeps students interested, i had the class 8am sharp and i still looked forward to going to it. I missed class and was late a fair amount but apply yourself and in the end you will do well. NOt only is this class fun but you learn so much! take it loser!
She is an excellent teacher. She is one of the hippiest and funniest teachers i have ever met. She respects all her students and she uses various examples that makes you better understand psycho. Study for her exams and you will definately pass her class
I loved her class!! She was a great professor, smart, funny, and also explains everything with detail. She does give many quiz and two papers. But do good on the papers and read your book, and you'll be fine. all in all a great class. thanks Ms. Gunn!
shes the best professor at SMC!!!!! nice, funny, all the good words to describe her. definately recommend her to everyone and anyone.
Dr. Gunn is oen of the best professors @ SMC. Her lectures are great, notes are great, quizzes are easy (read the book and use the study guide book and website you'll notice a pattern). Very enthusiastic about psychology and keeps you entertained while lecturing. Makes a connection with students. You can't be a slacker and expect and A, have to wor
Professor Gunn has a great sense of humor that will definitely keep you awake. She explains the concepts well and you will enjoy psychology! I definitely encourage to attend all classes and read the book for the easy quizzes. Very Hip and understanding of students needs!
I took the first-ever online class offered. It's best for those who work well independently. No lectures, so heavy use of text, but you can easily get by using an older edition. There are a lot of assignments, but it's easy to keep up & even work ahead so you have longer breaks btw due dates. Recommended highly if you are adept at self-study.
Dr. Gunn definately kept me awake each morning. Her sense of humor and teaching style is great! She made my first time morning class semester a blast. Thanks Professor.
She was a great professor. Most of the time her instructions were clear and she was always really helpful if you had a question. The work load wasn't overwhelming but you still learn a lot from her class.
Took class online. Easy A. Professor was great.
Excellent professor, uses humor to keep lectures interesting. Keep up with the reading and pay attention in class and you'll do well.
I'm not sure why this professor has such a high rating. She expects complete perfection, and if she doesn't get what she wants, she'll give you a 0, without questions. There is no room for error around this teacher. Her tests are easy, but her grading on assignments is ridiculous.
Took her class in a Study Abroad program to South Africa, great experience. Goes beyond the classroom to help students by leading study sessions, on her own time! She has a good sense of humor and uses it while she lectures. Exams are fairly easy if you study.
This was the WORST class experience that I have had in my 3 years of college. This instructor gave me the impression that students were a burden that wasted her time. Her online course structure is poor and confusing. She was just plain bad.
great online experience...not too hard to get an A. she is very understanding. do all the assingments and ull be fine. easy tests.
After exploring so many diff majors and being undecided, I decided to major in Psych after taking her class. At 1st I was intimidated by da subj but she had great, relevant, humorous lectures. She may seem intimidating but she does her job well! Tests are a little challenging, but put in all ur effort and an "A" isn't impossible!
She is a little disorganized online, and has a tough time using all the features on the online site, but I took a class with her in school and she was amazing. Even though it was tough online she was still understanding and gave extra time for all assignments. I would deff recommend her. She has a great sense of humour. Exams are right out of book.
WOW...and not in a good way. I e-mailed her about an essay submission that had gone array. She said that she'd take care of it and apparently she's as forgetful as she's disorganized. I had an "A" all throughout the semester and because it takes her so long to grade things, APPARENTLY you're end grade is going to be a SURPRISE!
Took her online, I am not sure why some people are saying she is unorganized, although she was a little slow to grade things she seems to always be on top of things. However, she does treat students like adults that are accountable for their own grade and perhaps that was the problem for some students. She won't hold you hand through everything.
she was extremely funny and humorous, you'll definitely enjoy her class, NOT ONLINE though..(haven't taken her on line but ppl sound so bad about her on line class), btw it's really easy class, i took psych.5 which is communication psychology, since it was communication term of psych study, she let us take tests in groups for about twice or more.^^
I am currently taking this class,and Dr. Gunn is awesome.Everyday she recieves the class with a positive attitude.She got jokes too.
Awesome teacher. She's got it all: personality, jokes, looks, and teaching ability. Most of all, you actually grow as a person by attending her class. Best teacher I've ever had.
GREAT teacher, you won't regret it! She is a teacher in every sense of the word. You'll learn alot about the subject and even more about yourself! don't pass her Psych of Communication class up, you will regret it. Loved her!
Best professor I've ever had. If ur lucky enough to take her, DO IT. She's got swagger, jokes, and great clarity. Read the text book for a guaranteed A. Makes the course interesting and insightful
BEST prof at SMC! I've taken pretty much all psych classes available and I must tell you, she is the BEST professor I've ever had.. Her classes are ALWAYS interesting, a lot of discussions, she makes a lot of jokes and she really knows her stuff. Great class,I learned a lot! Take it even if u r not a psych major
Very good profesor!Funny and grabs your interest!Got a B in her class although I never read the book or studied!
comedian , easy , i thought i was in a comedy class, lazy.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!!You will receive no help and she will reponses to questions and e-mails are ALWAYS RUDE!! People say her in-person class is great, but if you are thinking about taking it online, be ready to figure everything out on your own.
Took her online class. She was a no-nonsense kind of a teacher. All you have to do is keep up with the reading, complete all assignments by the due dates, write several papers and respond to discussion threads. Seriously, if you can't handle this class, then I have no words. You can't just show up to class and expect an A. Do your part!
DR.GUNN IS BY FAR A TRUE EDUCATOR....THANK YOU...WISH MORE TEACHERS WOULD TEACH
Dr. Gunn is amazing she works hard to reach each and every student. She is not easy, but very fair. You must be ready for college work. She has a great sense of humor.
Dr. Gunn has been teaching for a long time and it shows in her level of knowledge she conveys to her students. Not an easy A. You must earn your grade. Writing is expected and thinking is required. A true asset to SMC psychology dept.
Dr. Gunn has a passion for teaching. She is very understanding and organized. Reading is required, and there are essays to write. This class was always interesting never boring.
This class is a great blend of lecture, writing and group projects. you must be organized.Dr. Gunn is a wonderful instructor. Tests are not easy you must be able to apply and comprehend what you learn. I received an A.
TAKE THIS CLASSSS!!! BY FAR THE BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD! I SAT IN THE BACK OF THE CLASS AND STILL FELT LIKE I WAS NEVER LEFT OUT! SHE IS SO FUNNY TOO! NEVER A DULL MOMENT! IF I COULD HAVE HER FOR A TEACHER FOR EVERY CLASS I WOULD! SHE'S THE BEST! YOU'LL HAVE FUN! THANK ME LATER!
Took online. She is very organized and clear with what she expects from you. Fairly easy course but college level thinking is required to earn the most points. Got an A and missed a couple assignments and there is 1 extra credit option. Flow is a bit weird sometimes- a lot of work some weeks / waiting around for work others. Be prepared for that.
ADELANTE class. She's a nice lady and knows what she is talking about.Lectures are partially complete,you have to fill in some blanks reading,which I thought was kind of weak.Quizzes are easy,so are tests.I wouldn't take this specific class if your not interested in the subject because I think you have to read the book a lot.Gives some extra credit
TAKE THIS CLASS! Dr. Gunn is amazing and hilarious. She is so down to earth and explains everything. Lots of class participation and extra credit opportunities. She expects you to do the reading and bases her tests and quizzes on them..so READ and you will pass. Applying what you have learned on the tests can be tricky, but she is lenient
I took this course online and while there was a lot of material to read, the exams come for the textbook information. When I sent emails she did respond within 2 days. This is a college level course and you are in college so work will be needed. Great class and great professor.
Dr. Gunn's class was bith insightful and interesting. Her approach to the course is fun and laid back, she knows the material, amd is a fair grader. exams and papers contain information from the textbook s independent reading is a must. Extra Credit was also given throughout the course. Great class and instructor for those seeking the knowledge.
Took her for Psy. 5, one of the best classes I've taken at SMC. She's a great professor who is really down to earth and funny. Read the material, pay attention to lecture, LISTEN, don't ask stupid questions and you'll do great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Took online.For the most part I actually enjoyed the class.Not too difficult to get an A.Just do all the work (fairly simple and straight-forward) and she'll probably give you most to all of the possible points for the assignment.Exams are basic.I had a problem with the way she responded to some students on the virtual office though.Comes off rude.
Took online.Overall, easy A.Material truly fascinating & not very difficult to understand.Weekly assignments very very simple.Easy grader.Didn't like how she responded to virtual office questions or to assignment comments. "Read the syllabus, that's why I posted it the first week of class" (as opposed to "I actually explained that in the syllabus")
I just took Psych 1 class online. I earned 994/1000 pts. I loved this class. It is the easiest A ever if you keep track of the assignments and READ THE SYLLABUS. Students below have said she was rude, but really.....people asked stupid questions that had answers already posted. Don't be redundant and she won't get annoyed. Simple!
Professor Gunn is the best professor I have taken at Smc. She cares about all of her students and truly wants them to succeed. Her expectations are clear, and she makes learning fun and interesting. Her sense of humor also adds to the appeal of her class. An A is definitely possible if you out in the effort. I highly recommend this class to anyone.
Took her online class. Her class was really easy but she's very unorganized!
What a wonderful online professor! She offers practice quizzes to help prepare you for the midterm and final. The assignments and discussion threads are though-provoking. She is quite particular about posting early in discussions - so my advice is read her syllabus to understand all her requirements. Do the work and it's an easy A.
This was the easiest online class I've ever taken. Professor Gunn is very helpful, but has no tolerance for people who do not read the syllabus. Do the work on time - easy A.
I took dr gunn 11 years ago, she impacted my career for the best and is truly a delightful teacher! She's smart, articulate, caring, professional and the definition of a true professor!
I am taking her now for Psych 5 and think she is amazing! The best professor I have had thus far at SMC. She is dynamic and enthused about the material she is teaching. She takes the time to get to know her students on a first name basis. She wants her students to do well and is available and approachable. A real asset to the psychology dept!
a must ! enjoy
Very down-to-earth person who clearly loves teaching. Her use of effective communication helps encourage the concept of the class in a very relevant way. You will definitely learn about yourself in this class. Awesome woman! As long as you understand the concepts in the book, do the journals, and participate in class assignments you should be fine.
If you want to take Psych5, make sure to take her class. She knows how to create the atmosphere and make the class be more interesting. I also love her group project and class discussion. She knows the strategies to teach the students. She is not a hard grader either. If she also teaches different psych class, I'll definitely select her section.
She is one of the best professors you can ever find at SMC. I would take her class without any doubt. You will learn a lot from her. She is kind, funny , and passionate person.
If she is your instructor, you are lucky!! She is one of the best instructors in SMC that I strongly recommend you for taking it. I took her Psych of Comm and I feel lucky to have this wonderful teacher. She made you enjoy the lecture and is also an easy grader. You will learn a lot from her also!!
Dr. Gunn made the course very interactive, thought provoking and often quite fun.
Professor Gunn was a joy to be with in class, and her lectures were interesting and interactive. If you are looking to take Psych 5 I would recommend, as you will learn a lot about yourself and others.
Dr. Gunn is amazing. Very caring, hilarious, inspirational. Tests are textbook based. Be sure to know the vocabulary, as well as some of the random details in the text. Show up to class, engage, and enjoy. Group activities help you open up if you're an introvert etc.
This woman is a genius. She knows her stuff. By the end of the semester you'll learn something important that's going to stick with you for the rest of your life and taking this class did that just for me. Even if you are not a psych major yet interested in communication skills, you'll find use in her Psych5 class.
