Karen was interesting and funny and used personal stories to make the information more realistic to students.
She is a great professor.She responds to her emails quickly, and she makes class very interesting by using examples from real life situations. The exams are kind of difficult but totally passable. Quiz every week(should read text), a group project, and a paper due, but the assignments are actually fun! Would definitely take her again.
Loved this class. Professor Snell is great, very helpful, and answers her emails pretty quickly. Tests were kind of difficult but passable. Quizzes every week (read chapters), group project, and a paper due, but the assignments were really fun!
Very interesting class. Uses the new DSM 5 diagnosis and codes, therefore, a lot of the prior diagnosis es have been split up into categories or no longer exist. Mrs. Snell also works with patients that have mental disabilities so she is very knowledgable about the field and vey helpful. I would take another class with her.
Our grades were based on weekly quizzes, a few homework assignments, a midterm and a final, and a group presentation. We were also given some extra credit opportunities which were super easy. Professor Snell has a great personality and made the class interesting. I would recommend taking her.
Great personality, very approachable.Easy quizzes, easy assignments, & reasonable tests. the only complaint is that she goes through lectures very quickly; lots of information overload. i had to use the book to prepare for tests because i could never finish writing all the info.i would recommend taking her, she wants you to succeed.
An excellent instructor! She knows the material well, she is well prepared, straight forward, organize, and she makes the class interesting. I definitely recommend her to take.
Awesome teacher, very down to earth and easy to get along with. I will definitely try to take another class with her!
Amazing teacher who is very down to earth and has the students best interest at heart and will do anything to make sure the students are able to comprehend and turn in all material
Great and motivated professor
The class was fairly easy, I recommend keeping up with the readings as there are weekly quizzes. Notes are a little difficult to take in class so always remember to read before attending lecture. Overall class was fun and Karen is a great teacher.
Great class over all, very informative.
she is an awesome teacher, you do have to read the book to prepare for the quizes and exams, the lecture goes a lil bit fast, but she posts the notes on psych portal and studetns have access to them. she makes the class really intersting. overall great teacher and great class.
she is a great teacher, you do have to read the book to prepare for quizzes and exams. she answers questions about the lecture and she also post the lecture notes on my psych portal. she makes the class really interesting. she is a fun and excellent teacher.
Very interesting class, accompanied by real life examples experienced by the professor. Students are set up for sucess and have plenty of extra credit oppertunities to ensure a good grade. Highly recommended professor and course.
Great teacher, very hip. very current. very smart. very helpful. good class!
Karen is a great professor. She makes class fun and interesting. I always looked forward to attending this class.
Made the class very interesting, never let it get boring and I was eager to learn more.
Very fascinating class. The professor makes the lectures very informative and they correspond exactly with the readings in the textbook. She uploads the presentations online to the class program. She's not picky re: the format of papers, but make sure there are no grammar and spelling mistakes - as always, of course! Great class, highly recommend.
Very motivated professor to help her students. Assignments and lectures are interesting. Highly recommend her, she is great.As long as you stay on top of the textbook readings and your work the class can be easy, and anything you don't understand she will clarify.
very good teacher, nice and outgoing. just make sure you read the book and everything will be good.
Karen is a very nice teacher. she is willing to help you and always has a positive and outgoing attitude. make sure to read the book and pay attention in class and you will be fine.
Very easy class, open to questions, and she's very helpful. I loved this class, it was so interesting and the videos she showed related to the class were great! She's a REALLY EASY grader. She gives out lots of e.c. which helps a lot since her midterm was hard but it was online so we were able to use any sources.
Great teacher! Very helpful and great at explaining what is being taught. Has a very good attitude and is always happy to help you out. Her quizes are not hard and she has a couple of writing assignments but they are fun and interesting. Overall fun class and great teacher. Taking another class from her next semester. :)
Professor Snell is passionate about what she's teaching! You must take her for this class, she is amazing. Taking notes is difficult because she can go fast at times but the textbook is very detailed and has all the information in there. Buy the text it is interesting to read! The class isn't hard, just put in the work and you'll do fine!
Mrs. Snell makes this class fun and interesting. She does push you to know the material and there is a lot of reading but her lectures are great. She has two test mid term and final. This means the test cover many chapters which does make them hard. Overall this teacher is a good one to take.
Karen is very understanding and helpful. Her Prezi transcripts were very good. She is a very nice instructor.
Really enjoyed this class. Her lectures are clear and she is very helpful when you have questions. There is a midterm and a final and she provides a study guide. There is also a paper to write and a group project, but they are not difficult. highly recommend anyone to take this class with her!
In all honestly I really enjoyed this class.Every class session we had a small quiz and I loved the way we took them as a class! The way she explains the material were very easy to process. The only thing that was hard for me was the time limit on our mid-term online. Her PowerPoints are very beneficial. I learned a lot in the class. Thank you:)
In-class quizzes each class, some HW assignments, 1 paper, 1 group project, a online midterm, a final, & extra credit too. She puts her presentations up online. Professor Snell is very nice and approachable. She is very knowledgeable on the material and applies it by telling her own experiences with people at work. Not a hard class if you try.
Professor Snell is super nice and uses her experience as a therapist to help explain mental disorders. The class is very interesting but you do have to study for the tests. She is very helpful and wants her students to pass! I recommend taking her.
She is very helpful and is willing to help her students do good in her class. She wants her students to pass.
The class is definitely interesting! You cannot slack, stay on the readings, since she covers all the chapters and all the information. The case study was the fun part of this course. She's such a great teacher, fun, energetic, and relatable!
She manages to be very informative by using anecdotes to explain topics. Her class is easy but not easy enough to were you feel you didn't learn anything or have to try.
I really enjoyed this class. Reading the book will help you on your quizzes and exams. Karen is really nice, funny, and a good professor. She makes the class interesting and understandable that I learned a lot in the class. I highly recommend taking her.
I'm really glad I took this class. Karen was great! Every class was very interesting and information we went over always went along with information that would be on the test. She always kept it interesting and had a great personality and sense of humor. I highly recommend this class.
Wasn't too sure what to expect from this class going in, but material is actually very interesting (I'm not a a psychology major either). Professor is very helpful, quizzes in class help review material last covered. Midterm was online. She is an extremely "chill" professor, but still very professional.
she's awesome teacher and makes the class very interesting.
Great professor. Theres a lot of material to be covered but karen snell is able to explain each topic very well in a way that makes it easy to understand. Highly recomend showing up to class. Exams are all online but they require quite a bit of studying. As long as you show up to class and take good notes you should be fine.
Professor Snell is an enthusiastic and passionate teacher. makes the class relevant, and interesting. definitely recommend.
I really enjoyed the class. Professor Snell is really engaging in the classroom and her powepoints make it easy to understand some of the symptoms of the disorders we discuss.
I really enjoyed taking the course with Karen she really knows her stuff and she made every chapter clear. Her clips flow well with each chapter and she has a great sense of humor. Overall the course was interesting and would highly reccomend her class. Study and due all of your work and you will due great.
Professor Snell does a great job at taking the textbook information and helping the class see it in a job setting. Her projects (an individual case study and a group one) helped apply the information even more while also allowing for creativity. Overall, great class.
I will forever recommend her. She's so down to earth and easy to talk to! I've never had a professor who could make the atmosphere in the class so chill. Class isn't hard if you read but she makes the subject so interesting that you actually want to read!
I have had her for human sexuality and I love the class. She's ome of the better teachers I've had. She's super laid back and is willing to work with you if you need anything.
I love her she is a great teacher
K. Snell was an amazing instructor she would come to class with a smile and willing to teach. She informed us of what she expected at the beginning of the semester and so the class has been easy to follow. I would take this class over and most definitely would take other classes she would be teaching.
Best professor I have honestly ever had. She is always up to date with current news and everything she has to say is interesting. It almost doesn't even feel like a class because it is so laid back, but you learn so much because snell knows what she is talking about. Would recommend this class to everyone!
She is always giving the most recent information on whats going on in this world. Its a pretty interesting class. I came in not expecting much and she really swapped my change of thought. Its a really great class.
Makes Human Sexuality so interesting to talk about, won't make anythinganyone feel awkward. She is so up to date, laid back, and an easy grader. Her teaching curriculum is unique and fun, must read the book in order to win on jeopardy.
Snell is an awesome professor! She has a very cool, down-to-earth personality and is always willing to clarify any questions you may have about the course content. Also, if she's unsure she will let you know and discusses not only the scheduled topics, but the topics the students would like to bring up at times. Min. hw, 2 tests, 1 final in person.
She is an amazing professor. She's very clear and makes the subjects interesting for her students. I love the way she teaches and would definitely take another one of her classes. :)
I loved this class and Mrs Snell was great. She was funny and easy going. Her lectures were clear and she answered all the questions we had throughout. We played jeopardy on the material covered. I liked that because it made us meet others in class and we also earn points for participating. I now feel well educated on human sexuality.
It is difficult to sum all the amazing qualities of Karen Snell in just 3 tags. Mrs. Snell is incredibly intelligent with a great gift of patience and understanding. She is there for you to answer any questions you may have. Her lectures are impeccable, filled with current events and up to date issues are relevant to the topic, lecture or chapter.
3 posts, 1 quiz, 1 clinical choice per chapter so sometimes there's a lot of hw in 1 week. Only 1 paper & 1 test (final). The paper is 3-5 pages & simple if you follow instructions. All quizzes & final are timed. No lectures or teacher/student contact unless she responds to a post of yours. If taken online use the online text, it's cheaper!
Only two exams, two papers (one requires reading a book but it's a great read), and a group project. Her lectures are to the point and she summarizes the book's material very well. Her tests are kind of different from what she lectures so be sure to read the chapters.
There is a lot of role playing in this class done in partners. Homework assignment due every class, which is a summary of the chapter. As long as you do it you get credit, write at least half to a full page. A midterm & a final. You need the book to do summaries & activities she assigns. Due the work & you'll be fine!
I loved her class! She was very encouraging and made me realize my potential in becoming a counselor. Her personal experience was very helpful as well. There is a significant amount of work that you need to pass but as long as you follow her directions and do your work you will be fine! Go to class to pass tests. Take her you wont regret it!
This online course was very easy and the book was interesting. Having homework due every Wednesday was nice cause you never get behind. Only 3 quizzes that are open note/book and one 2-3 page paper. Definitely recommend this online course.
Very easy online class. Snell made this class very interesting and made me even think about specializing in something like abnormal psych. My only regret is not taking the class in person, I feel like I would've learned more. Will be taking this professor for another class next semester because I liked her so much.
awesome professor and easy A!
She is such an amazing professor! I've never felt so invested in a class like this before, and I really feel like I've learned so much! Grade is made up of 4 exams, and an optional final. There's 2 pop quizzes that can only help you grade. She has you bring the notes to class and follow along. I bought a PDF of the DSM5, but I never used it.
I took this prof 3 times! She is an amazing person and professor. Just be ready to read and join in discussions in class.
Took counseling techniques with her and it was an interesting class. We had to partner up and do mock counseling sessions which were fun. Only 2 exams and papers which she is pretty lenient with. There is a weekly chapter summary that is due, but it doesn't have much work to it. Overall it's an easy class.
This class is great if you're planning on becoming a therapist. We did weekly mock counseling sessions with group partners which was fun. We also had to turn in a weekly chapter summary so attendance is mandatory if you want a good grade. She's an amazing professor that I learned a lot from and she's incredibly funny. Highly recommend her.
The course is on the Psychology of Women (online). The textbook was required to complete assignments and quizzes per chapter, as well as 2 response papers. The assignments were easy, but time-consuming. You get a week to finish it. Full credit is given as long as assignments are completed thoroughly; extra credit was not offered.
Love love love this professor. Her discussions are actually interesting and inspire critical thinking rather than just repeating information. She does require an access code but it includes the textbook and the program is good. She responds quickly to emails and offers a lot of extra credit. Definitely taking her again.
I really enjoyed this class and professor. For each chapter, HW includes answering multiple choice questions, 1 discussion prompt, and a clinical application where you assess clients as a psychologist. Very cool class, wish I could've taken it in person. 1 (2-3 page) paper due on an interesting subject. Tests not cumulative.
Great professor! I thoroughly enjoyed her class. Due to the pandemic, the class ended up being online and so she did have to change her format, but I think it went really well! We used zoom for the breakout rooms and would practice role-playing as the clinician and client with other students. I highly recommend! She is very down to earth!
2 HW writing assignments that aren't bad, 2 exams, weekly reading and discussion posts/replies, and weekly 10 question quizzes. Highly recommend.
Best professor I've ever had. Super clear expectations and great feedback. If you don't pass her class it's because you didn't try.
If you're not worried about getting a perfect A, and can handle teaching yourself through reading the chapters, she's an alright choice. Some of her questions on the quizzes and exams are a bit niche, so it's hard to get a perfect score. She doesn't offer extra credit, either.
The reviews for this professor are very deceiving. You only have 10 minutes to complete a 10 question quiz. The information provided in her lectures are not useful in the quizzes. She expects you to remember very specific details of extremely long chapters. You basically have to learn the entire material on your own. Extremely disappointing course.
This has to be one of the best classes here at Stan. Professor Snell is very knowledgeable. Read the chapters and watch her lectures, you'll be good. The chapters are a lot of info, but suuuper interesting! The only thing I didn't like was the 10 min for 10 question quizzes. I truly learned so much from this class and genuinely loved it!
I'm a straight A student and I am struggling to hit that 90% mark. Lot's of reading and lectures (that are amazing). I learned so much, but the tests/quizzes are HARD to get A's on. Two essay hw reflections 2/3 pages. 1 personal reflection essay 5 pages. Midterm and Final, along with 1 discussion per week. It's a challenging class but doable.
No lectures, No notes, Reading about 50 pages per chapter. She might be a great in-person professor but not an online professor. She give you 10 minutes for 10 questions that are very specific. If you are good at taking test and like doing things on your own then you should take this class, if not take someone else.
Online class that just had discussion post and quizzes. Overall just reading and writing about what you read. 3 papers at the end but easy class. No lectures or anything so basically doing it yourself.
Professor Snell is a great professor. This class was super interesting. We had 1-2 discussion(s) each week and 4 tests total. There is a 2 part case study on a film that has 2 different essay parts. This is the hardest assignment but it really is not that bad.
This class is pretty interesting. We had 1-2 discussion per week and 4 tests total. There are also 2 papers required. One is a documentary reflection and the other is a case study on the movie/book of your choosing. These papers are easy just time consuming. Professor Snell is a fair grader and gives really good feedback on assignments.
Professor Snell was absolutely amazing. Throughout assignments, she was very interactive and gave good feedback. We did read quite a few articles and watch some documentaries but nothing crazy. I would recommend this course!
You do 1-2 discussion posts a week. No lecture videos, no study guides. You must keep up with the chapter readings there is usually 2 chapters assigned every week. If you fall behind on the readings you will struggle w/the exams, some of the Qs will be from discussions as well. Time manage & set aside a lot of time to read and write notes.
Her Counseling Techniques class in person is amazing. Be on time to her class, ask questions, and do your assignments and you'll be fine. One chapter activity each week, and we do role plays! If you are planning in being a therapist, this class is it. She is very organized and gives great feedback, and her lectures are very interesting.
She was a good professor, although her lectures did not cover all the material she made it fun to learn about. The textbook was expensive and there are discussions every week. I loved the options for books and videos we had to watch/read. The tests were not super difficult or super easy.
Take PSYC 3790 (Counseling Theories) with Professor Jin or Vasquez. Snell's class is just stressful. The course consisted of LONG Discussion Assignments, TOUGH Quizzes, A homework Paper, and a ridiculous 5-page Final Reflection Assignment based on a book. Snell is also VERY rude when you email her for clarification on assignments. AVOID her.
I was a little intimidated when taking this class from her expectations. She pays attention to what you write. Consist of 4 sectioned chapter quizzes, 14 discussions, documentary reflection paper, and topic case study. Pretty easy class just take notes and read then you will be fine! You watch some documentaries and read articles.
Quizzes are stressful for no reason. Literally finished a 34 question test with only 2 min to spare. Lectures are rushed and didn't want to provide the slides in fear that people won't show up to class even though attendance is mandatory. If you can avoid this class study with a professor that wants to see their students succeed.
Her Psych of Women course was challenging because the discussions required you to answer to multiple questions. Her quizzes also contained trick questions that are hard even if you did the readings. My biggest critique is how she made the class very politically biased. It made me feel uncomfortable to share my views because of the videos she shared
Prof Snell is incredible; had her for three classes including Psychology on women now. I've learned so much in this class that's important. I had her in person too a year ago and she was nice and funny and really fast to email back if i had a problem. She expect you to work hard in college and pay attention and she reads work and gives good feedbac
You can tell she's passionate about her beliefs. There are weekly discussion boards and about 4 quizzes. A documentary paper on a film, you get a list to choose from. No late work, you can tell she reads discussion posts + responses. Overall this class made me really sit down and put thought into several topics that need more attention. enjoyed!
She truly loves what she teaches. You do have 1 documentary paper due towards the end of the semester. There were four exams, each worth 66 pts. NO LATE WORK whatsoever, be on time with your work! Her articles/slides were so fun to read; she made class enjoyable, and you got to view from different perspectives.
