I loved this class with her. I really learned alot. Some people might gripe about having to do a case study, and she isn't an easy teacher. That's why some stupid people might complain about her. I think she's great- she makes you learn, and that's why you pay to go to school, right?

If you're taking her classes to actually LEARN, she's a really good professor. She's not easy, but she makes the material interesting. She also let me take a test WAY late because I was out of town on the test date, unlike my Oceanography prof, who make me take it early. I highly recommend her if you want to get something out of the class and not just slide through it like a lot of teachers will let you do. :)

Took Abormal Psych in H1 session. This teacher was GREAT!! She was always available, on-line class very organized and easy to follow. Had LOTS of fun activities. Gave us a make up quiz AND dropped a lowest quiz score! Would take her for anything she teaches.

I took this class online. I realize it is a class on group dynamics and team building, but the group projects were horrible. Especially the final paper. It is the most impractical, useless assignment. Extremely frustrating. I'm sure it is much more bearable in a real class, but she should drop this assignment from the online class.

I took this class online. Quizzes are very easy, just do the practice quizzes. Exams are mostly like the quizzes. She offers easy extra credit opportunities. The group project is okay, not terrible but I guess it depends on who you get in your group. Overall it was a good class.

She is really nice and helpful. Answers all e-mails quickly. Took class on-line & in short term. Wish I had taken for full term. Midterm is hardest test. STUDY and do extra credit for that one. I will take her again.

I thought she would be easy from what I heard on this site, but shes terrible. I asked for my grade and she didn't give it to me and I thought I was doing good in this class but no I'm literally failing everything. She's of no help what so ever. Any question you ask her she'll tell you to look it up in the syl. Mid term was hard. I learned nothing.

Abnormal Psych online course. She is not hard, it's literally straight out of the book.HOWEVER her syllabus due dates do not match the actual due dates for some assignments,you end up losing half the grade for the assignment. Group paper is RIDICULOUS and pointless,impossible to get a descent grade on it. It's an online class for a reason.

Took same class as last person and thought she was GREAT! All you had to do was read the modules to get all work done on time and get credit. Maybe the last person didn't do that. Learned how to apply info when we did group project. I really enjoyed that! She answered all my questions and telephone calls right away.

She gives you 100 questions for the final & it?s not even 25% of what she gave, not enough time. If you miss something, she threatens to drop you from the class, reminding you. It?s very frustrating. She thinks you are only taking her class. I advice you not to take this teacher, she will drive you insane! Half of the students dropped the class.

I have a career & needed the schedule convenience of an online class, big mistake, she requires mostly group work where you have to work your schedule around 6 other people, if other people in your group don't do their work or participate on the discussion boards you lose points. Requires you to participate DAILY even weekends & holidays

Also have Adolescent Psych with her this term. Wonder if last person has the same class. Prof G requires you to check in twice a week. Even with a job and family, I could doi that. She is always available, even by phone. Quizzes are easy. She gives Self Tests. Only 2 group assigns per term. Recommend her to anyone.

SAVE YOURSELVES! This course is not worth the headache. You learn nothing from the group project, except the fact that some people will always try to get credit for doing nothing. She has not grasped the concept of online courses and it shows. She also has difficulty navigating the online course environment, which is frustrating.

Online this teacher sucks. From what I've read baked goods go a long way. I have a good grade but I wouldn't recommend Garner. The group project is the kiss of death! It is unfortunate that someone else profits from your sweat and Garner backs the offender. If you speak out,you're difficult. PLS think before you take a class from K Garner online!

I had Prof. Garner online. Though she is glad to help you by responding to your e-mail quite quickly, she won't tolerate incorrectly formatted assignments; she only accepts rtf, and is quite adamant about that. The group projects are somewhat organized, concept that each student has an individual responsibility is not. Strict but will help you.

I took her class online. She is a very organized professor. Every set of instructions is super detailed. If you do the work, you will do well. Not many extra credit opportunities (two ten point ones). But, she is not very forgiving when you miss an assignment, even for an emergency. If you do not log online everyday other day, she deducts points.

Took her class online. Some ambiguity in syllabus due dates caused confusion and she would not budge, hence my A became a B. Test questions are not clear at all times. An A is possible in this class, but the work must be put in and no assignments can be missed (she does not allow for any exceptions here.)

I took her for online general psychology. Note: Online classes are generally much more difficult than in person classes. This class was difficult because I had to self-motivate. There aren't many extra credit opportunities and logging into blackboard is monitored and mandatory. All quizzes are online, so you can use book. Our final was also online.

INFORMATION OVERLOAD! I imagine Kay Garner is a great teacher in the classroom, but she is NOT fit to teach an ONLINE class. She is unable to communicate without an overload of information. She has NO IDEA what the word concise means. This is my 6th online class and I've NEVER had so much info thrown at me from EVERY angle like this teacher.

Very surprised to read some of the other reviews. Thought Prof Garner was outstanding. She was clear in what she expected. You are just supposed to follow directions.

Although I agree with most that she makes herself available via cell , her syllabus and all the dates she gives you initially is far from what you should expect . I found her instructions conflicting and her feed back frustrating . I passed my final with a 90 but the final group project is the kiss of death!

Thought Prof Garner was great! You have to let her know if you have problems though but she is pretty much always available. Learned a lot and enjoyed how Research Project showed use of what I learned. Lots of info given, but it is an on-line class so classroom discussions are not an option. Think what I learned will make me a better nurse.

The online course is just confusing, the assignments are difficult not because of the material but just the way they are designed like the group assignment is to assess a specific patient but you are given very little about the patient to go on, how are you supposed to a soap assessment on a kid you can't observe or interview?

Horrible professor her group projects are a joke she gets annoyed when you email her a lot. The whole class is made up of mini quizzes and two group projects that she takes very serious it determines whether you pass or fail . So if you do take her hope you get good partners.

Will give you C's on graded discussions and not tell you why. If you ask her why she will say "grammatical errors." I dont think a couple grammar errors are what made me lost 30 points. Also does not post any of her own material, instead makes you read about 13 chapters (each about 50-80 pages) throughout the semester and quizzes you.
