She is very nice, but being nice doesn't make you a good teacher. Her classes were unorganized, and sometimes very pointless. I never really learned much with her. I thought he class was a waste of my time and money.

Wow. What a waste of a class. She simply doesn't TEACH anything. If you want to learn anything at all, read your book. Better yet, take a different professor. If you want to watch movies and occassionally copy notes off her overheads, sign up!

boring. She reads word for word out of the book. Tests are fairly easy, all multiple choice ScanTron. Her lectures are the equivalent of reading the book yourself. Don't by the Psychobabble book. She never used it once.

Super boring, bring a pillow and a bottle. Almost not even worth going because you will fall asleep to her ****. Easy class if you can stay awake.

Don't go to class. Get the powerpoints on the internet. All she does is read them word for word anways. She never asks if we have questions. One time, someone yelled one out and she said, literally, "um, i have no idea how to answer that, to be honest". The only reason im passing is because i had the best h.s. psych teacher imaginable.

Teacher wrote terrible tests with plenty of trick questions. Too lazy some days and would just throw in a movie. Lectures very boring, read straight from her notes.

The class was extremely boring. Phillip Zombardo pretty much taught the class as he was the instructor in all the videos she showed. Nice as a person, but the class is hell.

shes very monotone, reads off powerpoints... and makes us watch random movies from the 80's its horrible. she only gives two big tests and the information is scattered. I'd avoid at all costs. really nice lady, horrible teachers

oh dear god. positively the biggest waste of time. insanely boring and monotone. i never went to class and got a 93 on the midterm...about to take the final. oh and there's a volunteering component. you have to have 10 hours. which is a bit of a pain when you don't have a car. DONT TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU CAN HELP IT!!

very very boring, she should not be teaching, only gives a midterm and final, one of the factors that made me switch my major

She has a definite interest in Abnormal, it's just a shame she fails to invoke the same in her students. She tries to break up the two hours with in-class assignments using DSMs and case studies, but most of the time she lectures, and it's hard to sit through. She gives two tests, a presentation, online discussions, and in-class assignments.

Very boring. Random information. Monotone. Seems like she tries to screw everyone over with points too. (ex online discussions)

Horrible! Was extremely difficult to even stay awake for class. Very monotone voice and showed no enthusiam whatsoever. We watched movies for the majority of the time. Tests were pretty hard but i ended up getting a B+ with little effort put in.

Took Human Development and it was a boring class. She reads instead of lectures. Once she talked about Elvis all day. She doesn't really teach anything. If you study you should get an A.

I took her Theories of personality class and I really am interested in personality, but this class kinda killed it for me. She gave a study guide for the second test and it didn't cover what was actually on the test, so you spend time studying the wrong thing. I did better on the first test with no study guide.

What a woman. She really stands out. Everyone thinks she's the end of them but shes a big teddy bear standing up there in front of the class... not. Just pay attention to what she says. She's nice enough, I guess. Not much reading, just prints stuff out. Tests weren't bad for me, even tho I was expecting worse. Make friends in class.

Videos and powerpoints. Then she slams you with very comprehensive tests. Awful teacher.

She hardly lectures & when she does she reads directly off the power point. You basically spend the 1st half of the semester watching movies (mostly what the midterm is on) She gives very little direction on what to do, especially with your big group presentation. And she sucks at answering direct questions. If you can, try & take someone else...

She is very quiet even with a mic. Hands out random worksheets for a grade. Shows a lot of movies and uses powerpoint but not a lot of information on the power-points. Information comes from her lectures, textbook and videos.

I was very disappointed with her and this class. Coming into it I was pretty excited about learning a lot of stuff regarding world marriages and families. But looking back now, the most I learned from the class was from the presentations that the students gave.. not anything from her. She isn't flexible & is awful at communication.

I was extremely excited to take Abnormal Psychology, but looking back on the course I did not learn a whole lot. The course was overall a huge disappointment. Take it with someone else if possible.

Karen Marsh is a wonderful person, but not so wonderful professor. Cancels class quite a bit. If you want to pass this class I suggest, going to class every single day - due to the random worksheets handed out. Lots of group work. Exams are difficult. Lots of videos.

Have to log on every day for an online class for participation. Doesn't give any feedback but a decent grader. MUST participate in all online discussions by her instructions (must post on Mon, Tues, Wed) for full credit. Annoying for an online class, but overall pretty easy.

Was super hard to get ahold of. If I emailed her I would not get a response for days, sometimes up to a week. I got sick with the flu and tried to reschedule an exam and I could not get ahold of her. She sometimes wasn't even in her scheduled office hours.

Puts statistics on quizzes and asks for specifics unrelated to course (ex: who funded the ___ website?"). Doesn't clearly state expectations for assignments or the course overall. Go to class because she will do in class assignments throughout the week. She is super sweet and nice, but her teaching is confusing and not beneficial.

I took her Abnormal Psych course and the homework material in nowhere close to the things she tests you on. She isn't very empathetic and expects you to know what she is talking about. She is little help when you don't understand something and she is rude in her emails.

Her "quizzes" are 40 questions and very specific. They are open note but I still struggled to find the answer. Her lectures are vague and you have to listen to what she is saying or else you will miss what she really wants you to know. Group projects weren't bad, in class assignments are easy, lots of outside reading and videos to watch.

Her quizzes are open note and seem very easy but even when I know I did well, I end up getting a 66%. However, the discussions and papers she assigns are easy A's and cushion your grade quite a bit. Not a big fan of this class or professor however.

Show up, do the readings and take good notes and you will do fine. BUT she is not a very good teacher. Very bad with technology and can never get the videos to play audio. Also very difficult to get ahold of. Took a week for her to get back to my email. She happens to be my advisor as well, but I will never go to her for help. Very unhelpful.

She was a nice person, but she was too quiet for me to hear her and most of what she says is on the tests. Her slides were not very helpful. Her quizzes were open note and you could look things up, but a lot of her questions I did not remember learning. Her tests were hard even though I would study everything provided for help.

Not the greatest at all. Nice lady, but her quizzes for this class seemed impossible at times even with open note, book, and internet.

Her online structure is the same for every class. 1 Page paper, Quizzes & discussions. Quizzes are impossible 25 questions & 30 minutes. Even doing all the lectures and readings, the quizzes are IMPOSSIBLE! Assignments are easy and she grades easy but only 6pts so dont do much for the grade. Discussions are only thing holding me. Read syllabus!

Karen is a very nice lady. I find that her teaching style is very bland, but everything she says must be written down as there is a strong possibility of it being on the test. Take notes on everything she teaches if you must have her as your professor. I personally wouldn't take a course with her again, however, she is knowledgeable about her field

Professor Marsh did not have any exams, only graded on weekly writing assignments and quizzes. The weekly material provided didn't actually relate to the quiz content, so sometimes it was hard to get decent grades on quizzes. Overall, if you're looking for a class you can put little effort into, this would be it.

She's a nice lady, and doesn't have bad intentions, but she is not the best professor. Her instructions on both in class activities and for assignments outside of class are very vague. She overall is not too harsh of a grader, but I've heard classmates say otherwise. Not a lot of proper due dates, and starts lessons without introductions/context.

I think she is a nice lady and that her class was fairly easy, however she is not that organized and can be hard to reach out to. If you take her try to go to every class because you could miss something like a quiz or graded in-class activities, which are all worth points and can be difficult/ineligible to makeup. There is also a required novel.

She does not use a textbook, just online readings that she does not talk about or mention in class. Her slides are not helpful, as there is 4 slides for a whole lecture, with little information. Not very good at mentioning due dates either. Had a project due after she gave no instructions and very little guidance on what we were supposed to do.
