even saying that Kari Tucker is a "bad" professor is an insult.unless you like hearing constant stories about her kids, you'd like the class. all throughout her class, the only person she really paid attention to or favored was one student who was in her psych group, and that was the only person who spoke in ALL of the class. tests are too hard.

Online class, very easy A. Easy weekly assignments, two exams. She provides study guides which is so awesome. The only problem I had was both times I got my exams proctored she actually never sent my exam over when I had her confirmation prior that she had indeed sent them. Also she took a week to email back one time, which is way too long.

Professor Tucker is a wonderful teacher. She genuinely cares for her students and wants them to do well. Her class can be challenging, but if you pay attention, take good notes, do the readings, and go to her office hours you'll receive an A. She is undoubtedly the best teacher a student could ask for.

She is an amazing professor. I had her for the 6 week online course instead of the 8 week course so she adjusted a lot of deadlines and offered as much EC as she could because she kept saying how she understands that this course goes a lot faster and that we need help. She responds to emails quickly. 3 exams, 2 in person and 1 online, drops lowest.

If you learn in class, u don't need to do much preparation for the exams outside of class. Easy A as long as you do your work, learn during lectures and show up. Showing up on time gives you free points. My only complaint is that she talks a little too much and says "listen, don't get distracted" way too often which is distracting by itself.

Don't take this professor ever! She would ramble a lot and go off on tangents that did not relate to the lecture. There was also times when we would submit assignments and receive reponses back to just see her. Furthermore, after even meeting her she would not tell us everything and made us guess on what was required. She really isn't worth it.

3 assignments each week: discussion board, assignments, and quizzes. The quizzes are not timed and you get 3 tries. Anything above a 70% is an auto 100 for the quizzes She will drop the lowest score from each assignment at the end. One semester paper that can be tedious so don't wait to start on it. Finished the class with 100%

I didn't know she won teacher of the year once, we WELL deserved! Her criteria is very straight forward, our online class had 3 assignments every week, a quiz, a discussion, and an Assignment(which is answering questions after watching video).She gives great feedback and is so nice and easy to reach. Definitely recommend, she really cares!

Not terrible, but not what I needed in an INTRO research class. She is unclear in her due dates and tends to upload assignments later on with no communication, causing lots of people to turn things in late. She is passionate about her job but rambles a TON and gets off topic. Overall disappointing, which makes me sad to say because she's very nice.

Very poorly organized class, assignments are easy but the class has so many issues. The study guides are awful and unhelpful. Some assignment questions arent even aligned with the book. She is also hard to reach out to and kind of passive aggressive. The material is not difficult, the teacher makes it difficult only because she is so disorganized.

She is a nice professor but has an elitist vibe. She repeatedly says that if you have not taken HER stats class you won't understand Psych 2's work, but I took a different stats class and understood perfectly well. Does not explain things well and does not include descriptions of assignments on Canvas. Do not take this class, she is not helpful

Psych 1 with Professor Tucker is a fantastic choice. Her laid-back and engaging teaching style makes the class enjoyable and accessible. The course is well-organized on Canvas, making navigating and keeping track of assignments easy. A wonderful professor who makes learning fun and straightforward. I highly recommend taking her classes!

easy class, if you want a GPA booster, take her. She's very organized; three assignments each week, all due on Sunday, and she drops one set of the 3 assignments at the end of the semester. one midterm, one final, and one semester paper.assignments you can just use Google; over all, very easy class, probably the easiest class iv ever taken at ivc.

Professor Tucker is a sweet and caring teacher. This class is not difficult but it was one day a week so we had to watch online videos from other class lectures. Practice the math problems before the test and watch the online videos and you will get an A. Prof. Tucker answers questions very well and is super nice, you will enjoy her lectures.

She was an okay professor. If you do the work and don't procrastinate you should be good however, unclear instructions sometimes, replies to questions late at night and her study guide isn't much help for exams. This class is pretty much teaching yourself from the textbooks. Exams focus more on diagnosing people.

I absolutely loved having this professor, you can tell she cares about every student she has and wants them to succeed. However, if you are not a fan of professors who rant and go on tangents, I would not suggest her in person class. I loved it and found a lot of her stories very impactful and interesting, but know it is not for everyone.

Took psyc10 last semester and loved it. I was initially worried ab the course, but prof explained everything very thoroughly and allowed us to use a "cheat sheet" on tests, which were workbooks she designed. However, I recommend paying attention, participating, and not missing class often otherwise it could be difficult.

The professor is not bad(it was mostly just reading the textbook because it is online , but the midterm was tough. It tested us on various situations and how some psychological concepts apply to it. However, if you did not know the definitions of certain terms cold, it is really hard. She does allow extra credit and 1 piece of handwritten notes.

She does ramble in her lectures, but that does make her fun and entertaining. I took her for psych30 thats why I took her for psych10. She uses psychlearn as homework. She does make you do JASP homeworks, but its pretty easy bc of the workbook she makes it has everything in there.She is also very understanding and responsive with email.

Each week you get one assignment, one quiz, one discussion board. All are easy to complete in a timely manner because it's clear. The quizzes help prepare you for the 2 exams. The semester paper looks intimidating, but as long as she sees you put effort, you get full points! I recommend taking her for every psych course.

Kari Tucker is a great person, but the class was pretty unorganized. The hw questions literally didn't even correlate with the reading/video and there were so many typos it felt like there was no effort put into the assignments. The grading is pretty fair though, as long as you do your homework its an easy A. there was 1 paper and 2 tests.
