A wonderful professor-very nice and cool :)
She is nice,,excellent professor,good person. She is realy care about her students.
I had her in the summer, and she was really cool with the work load she gave us. She is real easy and a very intelligent professor. Take her, she is the best.
One of my favorite professors at NCC. She honestly cares about her students and makes everything easier on us.
One of my favorite professors, a great teacher and a great person!
A great professor...she made me love psychology....she makes learning enjoyable and her tests are fair..she cares about her students...she is a great profesor and a great person
Great professor.
A wonderful professor. She is easy to understand and very nice.
Had her for a summer course quite a few years ago. Liked it so much that I now practice psychiatry (no joke!). She is very passionate about psychology and it shows in her lectures. Tests are straightforward.
She is the best prof. i ever had. I learned a lot from her. Take her you'll will gain a lot out of this class!
i dont even think any more can be said about her. she's the most awesomest teacher i could ever have. i only got a c in her class but i loved going to psych because she made it interesting and exciting.
Amazing professor, no big papers, easy to learn from and interesting.
hands down best professor i've had, tests are fair and there's an interesting lecture along with emotion too, she's very uplifting despite what's happened in her life, but she shows that and that made the class very AWESOME!
love the class.... best professor ever
She is the best professor ever! TAKE THE CLASS
i enjoyed being in this class because she is such a wonderful woman! she teaches so well and always gives like real life examples for you to go by so you can understand things better. her tests are a bit hard, but if you study all the notes and read the textbook, its easy!
The most interesting woman in the world! It seems as if she knows everything.
This teacher is best, both as a professional and a person. I wish all teachers were like her. She is very understanding and really listens to you. Other professors at Nassau should take a cue from her and learn to be more patient and understanding, not mean and heartless.
Great lady, very understanding, good teacher
a great professor... they dont come better then this..she explains things so well and actually catches your attention.. she made my love psych...i wish she taught more psych classes...she gives great examples..best prof at nassau! study for tests and you will do fine and do the articles
She is the best. I enjoyed the little projects that you had to do in class with your classmates and children. Every second in class was worth my money.
Very sweet, and really good "real life" examples when explaining terms.
She's an awesome teacher! Her classes are really interesting and fun! As long as u take good notes and study for her exams, theres no way u could fail her class
SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER. I WISH THAT MOST OF MY TEACHERS HAD THE SAME TEACHING ENERGY. I would recommend any one to take this class.
She is the best and funniest teacher I've ever had
Funny and full of energy! Class is very interesting and she is very good at keeping her student's attention. Treats students a little too much like high school kids, but is one of the best professors I've ever had. I strongly recommend a clas with her. Oh, and if your cell phone rings during her class she'll kill you.
I felt like she talked way too much about her dead son. And She was so clinical when it came to discussing things, that, as a manic depressive, I felt like she had no clue what she was saying. But I aced the class, in spite of my absenses.
she's by far the best teacher i've ever had
i hate her
She is so sweet fun and has energy like a 5 year old. her tests are hard just take good notes and PAY ATTENTION in class. Her real life examples due to the criteria make it an interesting way of learning. Great Professor. No sex no drugs and no **** driving. thats ur h,w everyday
greatest teacher...take good notes and pay attention and youll pass. kindess person ive met so far.
shes absolutly horrible. i dispise this woman. shes all over the place with notes and expects you to no it.
She is a nice lady and all but I find her class to be difficult. ALOT OF NOTES and it is impossible to copy everything down becuase she goes way too fast. Her tests are diffficult too.
I don't agree with the statements of others, so i will clarify.I am an Honors student who has taken a broad spectrum of classes at this school, O'Loughlin is one of the kindest, most helpful, energetic, enthuseastic and charasmatic teachers i've ever had. She is the only teahcer i know to captivate a class of 30+ for the entire duration of 115mins
I took honors class with this professor and found her to be captivating. She teaches with her mind and her heart. She was meant to teach, I am so glad she found her calling.I found this class to be a great experience. Thank you Dr O'Loughlin.
She is simply amazing. An amazing teacher and the heart of an angel...
She is an amazing woman. She teaches with all sincerity and teaching is truly her calling. What an angel, one of my best profs to date!!
Not the nicest professor very obnicous, can be rude at times.
she teaches very well and gets your attenion, but some are different then others so some will really have to study and some downt have to study at all
Really nice teacher! She does such sweet things for everyone she knows. As for the person who left the comment about her being weird...maybe u shouldn't be in a psych class and get out to the real world!! theres nothing weird about telling a story which RELATES to the topic in class. Hpe she will continue to teach the way she did this semester!
she troubles me not because she's a bad teacher or anything ok well warning she can be a big weird at times but i think everyone can be as well but the thing is she tells these stories about her sons death and it just makes me sad but that the same time want to know more yet no one wants to rudely ask,study like crazyyy for tests and take good note
To the person who left the comment about her class stories.would you rather have a teacher who has the personality of an Ice cube and throws you to the wolves with the work?Or Dr. O'Loughlin, who is real and the best teacher I've ever had at NCC.she's also the ONLY one I've ever had that actually teaches. If you cant handle her..good luck at NCC
I hope she reads the comments on this page, because she should know how she is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Hers is the only class I wish was long than an hour and the only class I look foward to each week. She can grab her students attention like it's going out of style. I love her!
This was one of my favorite classes, i must say. Professor O'Loughlin was a great teacher. To who ever said something as to how she teachers, WOW...she must have had much courage to discuss her personal life with her class, it took alot. Must have brought back much emotion. She truly cares about her students so much, which makes class even more rew
It was an honor to be in her class. She is one reason why I loved NCC and I will never forgot how she helped me. THANKS!!
Dr. O'Loughlin was an absolutely wonderful woman. I've never been able to pay so much attention to a class in my entire school career. Listening to her personal stories helped to make it even more real to me & made things easier to remember. I hope she reads this again to see how many ppl love her! She's incredible.. I wish there were more like her
hAD HER FOR HONORS SHE IS AMAZING.............
Nice professor, very sweet and smart. But she goes too fast in the class that i had difficulty in catch up the class.Somethimes she is a lil bit sensitive. Remember the first class one of the studens wants to go to the restroom, and she followed him after he went out.:(
I took her class this semester. She's a very good teacher in Nassau~the final text is open notebook~it was really helpful. Im so new here, and she definitely made me want to take her class again.
Beautiful Lady, inside and outside. She loves her students, and she tries to find the best way to makes the stuff clear. Best way to converse your STM to LTM is to choose her class. You will learn a lot. Amazing professor. Knowledgeable and well-informed. One of the professors that you will not forget forever.
REALLY interesting class- Very engaging. She uses a lot of life stories, which can be intense, but they definitely help you understand the lessons. Just make sure you give her what she wants, because there's no extra credit- Pay attention in class, and study like crazy for the tests.
Smart and sweet ( inside and out) Great teacher. Take her class any time you can!
I love this professor! She is so sweet and a great teacher. She tells a lot about her life and personal stories, which helped me to remember things. She told my class that some people put bad reviews of her on here and that made me sad. She's a great teacher and really knows her stuff. Her final was open book. Take her!
She is o.k. She was always telling some sad stories from her past. She always puts some magnetic notes on the board. I got a c+ because i did good on the last test i not i would have got a D.
Kind of ditsy, often strayed from points with irrelevant stories that were neither funny nor entertaining, usually a family sob story. She helps you learn the material without a doubt, but usually class was unremittingly boring, although easy as well.
if u've take intro stat do not take this class. waste of money and time.expect to be treated like a 2 year old. too many missed classes. if you want to learn don't take this class.
Professor O'Loughlin is a great teacher and person. I consider myself lucky to have taken her class. She is tops and I gave her an A because that is the highest grade possible..she deserves more
If you need an A take her... if u want to actually learn something, don't take her. boring and useless. goes 2 show just coz u have an IV League Ed doesn't make you smart or interesting. WASTE OF TIME
Professor O'Loughlin rocks. She's got years of teaching and of LIFE experience!She is strict, fair and considerate. She is caring and generous. She shares personal life experiencial stories to enhance our learning experience. She is a wellspring of knowledge, an overflowing vessel of love and a fabulous teacher.SHOW UP, LISTEN UP & ENJOY THE CLASS.
Dr. O'Loughlin is hands down, the best professor I have ever had as a student. There is a ton of course material to be covered, but with your interest and enthusiasm, Dr. O' will never let you continue the course without her being there to help you. She is very outgoing, sociable, and her humility is extremely contagious. She is the best! - AP
One of the best teachers I've had so far at NCC!
Obviously taught high school in the past, because she still treats college students as if they were 5. She is all over the place, rude, unorganized, and ****. DO NOT take this class. And if you do, choose a different professor.
O'Loughlin is a very hard professor. There is a lot of textbook reading. She doesnt write on the board and you kinda just have to keep up with what she says
A gifted teacher who really cares about her students. Slackers will not like the class because you actually have to use your head, but if you want to learn, you can't do any better than Dr O'Loughlin
They don't get any better,or nicer
I LOVED Dr. O'Loughlin's class...I had no idea I would enjoy itas much as I did. She makes class really interesting by adding a lot of personal stories that make you want to pay attention. Her tests can be a little difficult but if you take notes and follow her test study guides you will have no problem. Definitely my favorite prof at NCC so far
One of the few out there who cares about her students. Her lectures always keep me interested. You won't go wrong having her as a professor.
Dr. O'Loughlin was undoubtedly my favorite professor at Nassau. Her no cell phone policy was a little intimidating at first because I am a habitual texter, but I got so used to not even having mine on and I can 100% truthfully say that I believe this policy, and her interesting way of lecturing, made me learn more than I have in any other course!
Good professor. Her class can get boring but overall it was good. Her tests were a bit difficult but you can definately make up for it by participating. The final project was very easy and she was so lenient with the due date i dont know why more people didnt do it.
dont pick this teacher. she doesnt teach right and she is not organized. she is very hard and i wouldnt suggest anyone to take her class.
She gives you all of the answers before the exams. There is no way to do poorly in this class if you read the textbook and review the notes.
She's nice and lenient but I found her to be close minded and unwilling to discuss views different from hers.
i only have one thing that sticks in my mind with this prof. This is what she said "Taylor Swift is a genius. She's manipulating the media and has found a way to do it. My husbands in the music industry he knows her". I think she retarded me when she said that!! But yeah nice and easy professor. Class is like kindergarten.
Okay, so no. She came off as nice in the beginning, but truth is she could be very sarcastic. No bashing intended. But she could be kinda rude, and she definitely HATES cell phones. It could be understandable, but she does kinda get really over the top about it. I do respect her and her views though, she is nice, but i dont know if its fake or not?
Interesting classes. She is very enthusistic about psyh and opened my eyes up to new ideas.
I liked her. She gave me a chance when I needed it. Great professor because she cares about learning and about her students. Best teacher this semester. I'm taking another class with her.
I wasn't sure if I'd like psych but she made me love it! Interesting and helpful professor. Definately recommend her.
She comes off as very sweet, but it is definitely fake. The last day of class portrayed this best. The person who I believed she really was came out. She's rude, sarcastic & very close minded. She dislikes being questioned. She can not think outside the box. I really, really dislike her as a person & professor. Her class is so easy it is stupifying
One of the best professors I ever had. Fun and understnaidng She made us do a five page paper that was OK and the review sheets helped if you do them.
Great teaching style. I learned alot and enjoyed this class. Recommend her anytime because she was fair.
The lectures are very important along with the videos from the text book. She's cool just study for the exams and you will be good.
Don't use your cell phone, take good notes and don't be absent. She's a good teacher who keeps your attention and gives tests that aren't that easy but I have to admit they are fair bc she tells you whats on the test on a review sheet. Still alot of work and not that easy but you learn alot.
Her class is easy, her notes are good. Her as a person-she's rude, will shut down anyone with beliefs different from hers, sarcastic and judgmental-which actually makes her a bad professor overall. Even though her notes and tests are easy, I would consider a professor of low quality overall. How can you learn from someone with such a closed mind?
Great class aNd professor. I liked how she teaches, interesting and kept my attention. Be sure to do the paper and take good notes. She explained everything So that the tests were pretty fair but I did not think they were so easy.
She is a good prof overall but can be a bit rude at times, esp if you don't listen to her. She has a strict no phone policy and will ask you to leave if you use it. She gives answers before the test and the final is open book. Honestly, I didn't like the class even though it was easy.
I took this class and it was great. I learned a lot and really liked this teacher. She is stricked about cell phones.
I loved this professor and this class. Tests were fair but you have to read the book to get an A. She's really nice though and helpful if you talk to her. Wish I could get another class with her.
She is a Professor worth having! her style is sweet, but knowledgeable!! She is AWESOME!
Dr. O'Loughlin is a wonderful teacher! She is passionate about what she does and about the material she teachers. She gives review sheets before tests which are helpful if you study the specific material. She is VERY strict about cell phones though. I'd love to take another class with her, unfortunately 203 is all she is teaching right now.
She has to be the sweetest person ever. Listen to her and you'll be fine. Amazing stories too
She is a good professor. I like that she gives note guides and I don't have to really write anything down unless I wanted to. She's very strict on attendance and cell phones! Seriously NO CELL PHONES! If you study your note guides, you'll pass a test.
She is the sweetest woman ever! I loved her class, the things she teaches are very interesting and relatable. She gives note guides for every chapter, study those and you'll get an easy A! She's a great teacher. Highly recommend her!!
OK. She is not that easy but I loved her class. She really listens and helped me with the notes and explained everything to me when I went for help. She makes the class interesting and the time went so fast that I didn't mind the double session. I wish I could take another class with her... Excellent teacher.
The most sincere woman I've ever met, seriously. Relates the class to many personal stories. "easiness" scale shouldn't be an option for her. She gives plenty of opportunities for you to boost your grade so if you don't do it, you can only blame yourself. Clear notes from a topic guide, pay attention and you'll do well. Really enjoyed her class.
Best Professor I've ever had. She's incredibly smart and I wish the class never ended. The tests are difficult and require a lot of studying and memorization. Even if you study like crazy there will still be 3 to 5 questions that aren't clear and even though you know the subject it can still fluster you. I would definitely recommend this class.
She's the best. Take it and you will know. totally recommend.
She is probably the best teacher/professor I've ever had. She is extremely intelligent and is genuinely concerned about her students. Listen to her lectures and take a lot of notes. Her tests are not easy but she is very specific on what to study and gives ample time to do so. You will get the grade you work for in her class. She is great.
She speaks from the heart in her lessons. She cares about her students and will be there for you whenever you may need her. I would love to have this teacher again.
Dr. O'Loughlin is an amazing lady. Took her summer course which was an enlightening and very informative class. She kept her lectures interesting and interactive with all her students. Take her class if you want to learn. She helps you understand certain concepts through her personal experiences.
Wonderful. Don't expect to be just handed a good grade. What you work for is what you get, no tricks or games! NCC needs more professors like Dr O'loughlin
She is such an awesome teacher. She always welcomed the whole class with a kind heart and teached so that every aspect of psych could be relatable to us and we can understand it better. She also cared a lot about her students, theres not a lot of teachers like her around. Id definitely recommend taking her class.
Super sweet and very interesting lectures! The material is pretty direct and she does a great job in explaining everything. As long as you listen and look at her handouts, you should be able to pass. She talks about her personal life and struggles that she's been through and jfc, this woman is amazing. She really is an inspiration!
One of the best psychologists I have met in my time (and Ive been to several therapists to find the right one). As a professor, she is incredible. She loves participation and always listens intently to the classs questions. One of the kindest and funniest professors on campus. Take her class!
