Dr. Roberts is a good teacher. All of the tests are based on her notes, infact I got an A and I didnt even buy the book. Her lectures are just that good. She makes class interesting and genuinely cares about her students.
Even though there is a lot of information covered and a lot of assignments, Dr. Roberts is very helpful and she wants her students to succeed.

Her tests are long, and hard to finish in the time alloted. She was a good professor and tried hard to teach the information.
she makes test that no one finishes and knows it, and doesnt curve to make up for it. one of the more comfusing teachers i have had for stats. not too much work but its hard to get an A. not the best teacher for 101.
Don't buy the book, it's a waste of money and tests are directly from the notes. There is a group presentation that's hecka easy. Tests are easy. This class is easy if you've had ANY biology what-so-ever.
I love Dr. Roberts!!!! She is one of my favorite teachers of all time. She is very sweet and you will learn a lot in her class. I definitely recommend taking her classes.
God teacher. She isx pretty funny; uses a lot of power point and videos. You can tell that hse loves animals. Highly recommended.
I've had her for psyc 8, 101, and 111. She is an awesome teacher, wants every student to do well. HIGHLY recommended!
You do use the text for class. Dr. Roberts is great lecturer, very helpful. Thought test were a little tough, but should do fine if you read the text. Tests include a take home essay portion (nice), you do a presentation, a final paper related to your presentation, definately recommend
I had her for Lecture only. We had 2 Exams, 1 Comprehensive Final-Open Book, We had a survey, apa paper, and poster presentation, as well as homework and in class assingments. You'll need a regular calculator with a square root. Lab would have other assignments. She really tries to answer questions, makes time to help.
I love dr. roberts.. offers great extra credit and make sure everyone passes and learns! love her! best taecher =)
Dr. Roberts clearly knows what she's teaching. She is very nice and passionate about psychology. Her tests are hard, but she gives out study guides. Those who want an A in her class, do the study guide and meet with her in her office hours if you need extra help (she will give hints as to what's on the test). Fridays are usually extra credit days.
Attendance is important due to in class assignments that really add up in the end. Exams were easy although lectures could be dry. Often let the class talk too much so we lost a lot of time. Easy to understand. Little effort= solid B.
She uses a 10 year old text with outdated info: not good for people serious about Psychology. Really nice person but terrible professor. Powerpoint slides are a jumbled, unintelligible mess as is her presentation of the material. At least for this class, take ANYONE else if you can.
Attendance is mandatory. Don't buy the book. Tests are short answer, and mc. Either 1 paper or 1 group project. Very easy. Great teacher.
Great instructor. Very helpful. Gives study guide for exams. Exams are multiple choice and written. A bonus question offered on v=every exam. Group presentation or paper. Provides lecture notes on SacCT. Interesting class. A++
Really good class. Awesome teacher. Very compassionate, humorous. Offers extra credit. Provides slides. Provides study guides which exams are based on. final non cumulative. book is optional. individual or grp presentation OR written assignment from book. Attendance optional-in class assignments are random so you miss points if not in class.
She's really great, always smiling and making jokes. Choice of project & presentation to class, or a book report. study guides for exams, book is unnecessary. slides are online but they're a jumbled mess unless you hear the lecture or read the chapters.
Her class was easy...or easy going. We watched a lot of movies. The lights were dim bc of the power point/movies and it would make me want to take a nap. She grades kind of stiff.
Fun. Makes jokes to keep class interesting. Slides available online. 2 midterms. 1 final (open book NO notes). Labs were basic. Lab final (know your way around PASW & you'll be fine). Results section write up req'd for lab final. 1 grp presentation w/APA style paper & 1 hypothetical experiment paper in APA format. Practice exercises in class help.
Super sweet lady! Loved her personality but her class was awful! So scattered and so confusing. I would learn it from the book and go to class leaving confused again! Offers a lot of points so not hard to get a good grade, but had to teach myself the material.
Great teacher overall. Just take good notes and you should be fine. Plus, she's a hottie!
I want to take as many classes with Dr. Roberts as she offers. Her lectures are easy to listen to. She is very helpful and never condescending.
She is the best! It is not easy material but she makes it fun and interesting and offers lots of help. The final was insane - there is a reason it is open book! Overall a great class
Loves her subject, very approachable, but way, way overtests. Blue book AND Multiple choice. Can't finish in 50 minute class period. Final is worse. Disorganized, scattered, hard to follow. If you're a wunderkind, you'll do well. If not, schedule your classes accordingly - it may take you longer to finish, but guard your GPA.
Dr. Roberts is great. I highly recommend having her as often as you can. Plus, she's easy on the eyes, which always helps!
Extremely helpful professor. Lecture can be kind of boring and not focused but afterward class discussion with two or three people is really helpful to understand material. During discussion, she walks around and help out and afterwards, answers are discussed as class. Must write a 10 page paper. Exams are little hard which all comes from ppt.
She is such a nice lady. Her lectures are a little scrambled because she likes to tell stories. If you want to do well on the tests, make flashcards and study the lecture notes. She is very easy to talk to if you have questions. I would take her again if I could.
Fantastic lady. She does so much to help. She can get confusing sometimes, you almost have to clarify with the book. The book is a must but she is very fair and gives extra credit oppurtunities. Great Class, I think Ill get an A or B
I really appreciated Dr. Robert's love and enthusiasm for stats. She was very approachable and worked well with me to ensure my understanding of the material, however, the tests are NOT appropriate for the 50 minute time period. The most frustrating part was knowing the material and getting a low grade because I couldn't finish the exam on time.
Hard class, but she makes it interesting and fun! Dr. Roberts is one of the best teachers at CSUS. I would take her for all classes if I could! Love her She is very helpful and clear on her expectations. Take her for whichever class. You will not be disappointed Shes funny too! THE BEST
Awesome prof!!! Would recommend to anyone to take her class if they can! She is very enthusiastic and helpful. Don't need the book, she goes off powerpoint. Study for your exams and do the research hours and extra credit and you can get an A. You will get out of it what you put into it.
I go to class only to hear her god awful laugh! Intelliget professor, hard for a lower division GE. No need for a textbook and the only reason you should go to class is because she does random in class-assignments. She puts up all PPT's online and gives a very vague study guide. Not to mention the final is 100 questions.
Best Psychology teacher I have had so far at CSUS. She knows her stuff, responds to questions, and keeps things interesting.
so glad i took her. friendly, very knowledgeable, fun. completely timely and on top of grading. lectures have video (very power point intensive). this all being said don't think how nice she is makes it an easy breezy class. come prepared to work and you'll have fun. study guides she gives are great.
have takenPsych 111, 116, 117, and 101 with her and she is a great professor her classes aren't to hard and they are very interesting. she has great power points that are everything on her tests as well as side notes in lectures but her grading system is great!
Fun class. Print out all of Power Point slides because she'll go fast and you won't be able to take good notes. Exams were hard, yet the lowest score is dropped. 90% of the exams will come from PP slides. Read the book. 15 easy extra credit pts She's fun. Plus I loved her god awful laugh, as someone else pointed that out. Very down to earth.
Dr. Roberts is a very sweet lady and you can tell that she loves what she does. I found that her powerpoint slides and tests were a bit scattered. However, she does provide a study guide. Overall, she's cute, funny, and very knowledgeable. If you go to class, print the slides, and read you should be fine.
She is passionate about the subject and nice. Answers your questions to her best ability. But, she has a lot of typos in her lectures as well as exams so its hard to understand at times. Her tests have a lot of "all of the above" "none" "both A and C" all in one question so that can be confusing! but as long as you study you'll do good.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Her lectures are off her power points as well as her exams. 3 exams, 1 final. Many small assignment that are super easy and interesting. Test are tricky but if you understand the material then you'll do fine.
Loved her. She is really funny and nice. BUY THE BOOK. You will need to study a lot for this course. Exams are tricky (specifically the multiple choice questions), so just make sure you are prepared. As long as your doing the home work and doing the readings regularly, and study you will do fine. Don't be afraid to ask for help, either.
Ms. Roberts is amazing! Her class is so fun and there is always an interesting video for every lecture. She is easy to understand and makes me laugh a lot. Just an awesome person!
Roberts is such a sweet heart! Her laugh is the cutest thing and I've never had a professor as adorable as her! however, her class is pretty tough! If you want an A, I HIGHLY recommend taking the SI course that goes w this class. Also, she gives so much extra credit to make up for people's low test scores. DO ALL THE HW & STUDY HARD for An A or B!
This class is by far the hardest I am taking this semester but she is really a great proffessor! She offers extra credit to help raise your grade and she will always answer any questions you might have. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Professor Roberts is a nice lady and her laugh is hilarious. However, her test are extremely long, and difficult to finish in the time allotted. She spends a lot of time on group papersprojects and not enough time covering the lectures. On the plus side she offers a lot of extra credit. I like her as a person, but I would not take her again.
Dr. Roberts is AWESOME! I absolutely love her class. She shows the most interesting videos ever, so it definitely keeps you up in class. She's very enthusiastic and caring. Her tests are fair as long as you do the study guide and actually put an effort. If you put the effort it's an easy A. I would take her again. :)
Roberts is really funny. All you really do in class is listen to lectures and some days you have in class assignments which counts as your attendance. She post up the lecture notes so if you ever miss it you can just go online for it. You also have to do learnsmart for her class too and many more. Overall, the class is easy but the test are hard.
Really great class. Highly recommended. Take the SI course if you're interested in knowing the content well or getting an A in the class. I had John and he was incredibly helpful. Made the class super easy. She offers tons of extra credit and provides study guides that cover what's on the test well.
Professor Roberts is great! Her way of taking attendance is having you turn in in-class assignments, so if you miss those, the points can add up. You have 3 exams and a final, she drops the lowest exam. Her tests are not easy, I would suggest taking the SI class with this course. She does give extra credit so take that opportunity, it adds up!
Her lectures are long, but she makes them more enjoyable by implementing videos during them. Show up every class, she gives in class assignments that count for a portion of your grade, and there's no warning as to when she'll assign them. Also her tests are pretty specific, so studying is always a good idea when it comes to her tests.
She does give out study guides for her exams but I don't find them helpful, if you can take the ASI support class! Students who enroll in the support class will get in A in the class if you don't good luck! She is not that organized when she uploads the slides, they are all out of order.
Prof Roberts was recommended to me by several psyc students and I'm glad I had the chance to take her. My interest is not animal behavior but Roberts makes the class interesting & always shows videos to help with examples which is great. She's very sweet & has a sense of humor. Loved her class and would def recommend:) Thanks Prof Roberts!
Dr. Roberts is a great professor. She is always in a positive mood, is approachable, and really cares about how her students are doing. She also gives extra credit that really helps your grade. One of my favorite professors that I have ever had. Would take any class of her's again in a heartbeat. She is a ball of positive energy and funny as well.
Dr. Roberts is one of the best Professors in the psychology department. She is very caring and funny. Shows a lot of videos and her lectures are interesting too. Easy assignments throughout the semester and her tests are based on her PowerPoint (3 exams +Final, drops the lowest score). Super easy grader! Overall, I would definitely recommend her!
Yes, take this class if you are a pre-nursing major. She gives study guides for all the tests and the final. Drops your lowest test score. Very funny I love her laugh! Gives a good amount of extra credit. I got B's on all the test still ended up with an A-
Took her for stats... not my strongest subject but Professor Roberts made the content easy to understand and she moves at a good pace which makes it easier to grasp concepts. She's funny and cares about her students and is just a great professor overall. Be prepared to put in work and show up to class!
She is a great professor and gives good lectures. The tests are pretty hard, should study A LOT.
Really nice teacher! I recommend taking her. Her exam questions are a little bit tricky, you just have to read everything carefully. The class is not too stressful and it is a cool topic.
I would recommend printing out her lectures, because she goes through her slides pretty quick. It's hard to copy everything down and be able to listen to her at the time same time. She's funny. I would just listen to her in class and study the morning of the tests and I got an A in the class. Go to class because she does give in class assignments.
She basically just rereads what is on her slides. You are pretty much on your own. Papers aren't that hard, if you understand the material.
Dr. Roberts is a very sweet lady! She is approachable if you have any issues in class and is willing to work with you. Class is super easy, but exams can be rather confusing though! I would highly recommend.
She reads everything off ppt & goes thru it real fast. Ppts are sorta all over the place. Exam questions are tricky, so i didn't do so well even tho i studied. In-class assignments worth 2-5pts each. 15 extra credit presentation for end of semester. we watched a lot of videos or documentaries in class especially on fridays.
Has 3 exams and the final. Provides study guides that clearly follow the test. Provides lectures online but has in class assignments occasionally to give bonuses and count as attendance. Easy class if you put the time in. Textbook is only used for learnsmart which only counts as small percentage of grade.
Loved her!! She does go through lectures pretty quickly, but all of the powerpoints are on sacct which is super helpful. 3 exams and a final, she drops one of the lowest exam grades which is awesome. I found the study guides super helpful (also posted online) and she offers a lot of extra credit. Loved her teaching style, she's a super sweet lady.
Not a great professor. Her lectures get annoying because they're really just back to back videos about the lecture. There are 4 exams, 3 midterms and 1 cumulative final. She drops your lowest. Study guides don't really match up to the test. You need the online textbook ($90) for weekly assignments and there's a couple 1 pg. assignments. Offers Ec.
She is such a sweet professor! She offers a good amount of extra credit and she keeps you entertained with lectures by adding videos. The exams were a little on the tough side, but the extra credit definitely helps bring your grade up!
She is a very funny professor. Lectures are not boring as well. We do have some 2-4 writing assignments but it's very easy. Also, reading is due online every week on learnsmart which weren't hard but quite time consuming. We had 4 exams, 3 regular and 1 cumulative. Beware, her exams are hard! Go to the study sessions they offer! They really help!
The amount of extra credit you get in this class saved my grade. I NEVER showed up to lectures except sometimes on Fridays( usually extra credit days). I don't care for PSYC 2 any bit, but she made it so I could pass without really studying for anything. If you do care the test are HARD get through those & pass. I FAILED the Final and still passed.
Kim is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. Although her slides did not match up with the book and the exams were a little difficult, she gives plenty of opportunity to make up for that through attendance and extra credit. Her lectures are enjoyable and she posts her lectures online as the homework.
Sweet lady but one of the worst professors I've had. Reads off of the power points that she writes. Full of errors, just like her tests. Attempting to take a test is hard enough when there are not errors and typos in many questions. Is not knowledgable about the subject. Very easy homework.
She's a sweet lady but honestly only reads off of her Power Points. Her tests are kinda difficult, you really have to study for, lots of memorization. Little amount of homework, but a couple papers.. at least 3-4 papers.
She is really approachable. She gives students various options on each assignments. Her lectures and study guides are always provided on Blackboard. Attendance is not mandatory but being in class helps due to in assignments.
This class was tough. Showing up was painful because she would just read from slides and not provide any new information. She does a lot of in class assignments for credit (only reason I would show up). Her tests are SOO hard and worded so strange. All homework is online... also she has a funny laugh so be prepared for that.
Nice professor but the whole class is her reading the slides. Attendance is necessary as she gives in-class assignments. Exams are generally easy, just study the slides and the jeopardy game she posts for the most part
Robert is awesome. He makes every complicated material a lot easier to understand. One of the best professors I've ever taken in Umass.
Reads of slides. Slides not posted online. Go to class! Small random group participation activities. Group assignment and presentation last week of class. Four tests, lowest score doesn't count. Do they hw, one assignment counts for points. Book goes a little more in-depth helpful for studying. Very nice professor. Boring subject, okay lecture.
tests are confusing. slides barely helps when studying for the exam. The study guide helps, but not on the final. She takes attendance by assigning assignments during class. A lot of extra credits which helps your grade. I barely got an A and it was because the extra credit helped me. Go to her office hours, she is always willing to help!
Professor Roberts is an amazing professor! I had her for the 3hr lecture and she did her best to entertain us with videos, activities and made the lectures interesting. She gives out study guides before tests, you have 3 tests and you get to drop the lowest test score. Just review the PPT and Study guide!
She was a very nice lady, readings online and learnsmart for this class, that's no fun. What made it hard was that her lectures don't go off the book. She offers a lot of extra credit, some easy papers, and drops your worst test but the tests have most of the weight. Lectures are okay. Read the online book and her lectures if you want the A.
Dr. Roberts is amazing! Her personality is show through her lectures which are crystal clear and will be on the test. She has a jeopardy game to earn extra points on the exams (sit in the right section or know you're stuff). Interesting subject with a interest professor; you're winning!
Professor Roberts is one of the best teachers at Sac state. I have her for 2 classes.(stats/Drugs)She gives study guides & does review games in both classes. She also offers a lots of extra credit. Dont need book for Drugs (use learnsmart). Very nice lady and isn't strict at all. Test are right from her slides. Overall a good teacher! Take her!
She's a very sweet lady, but I think some of the students knew more about the course material than she did, it was kind of painful to watch her struggle to answer some of the questions and then just spout stuff from the lecture slides. She's really funny though, and I thoroughly enjoyed going to class.
I really liked how quirky she was and I truly will miss her laugh. She doesn't read off of slides and she takes the time to really explain the content. Her tests are a little hard but if you study hard it'll be a piece of cake.
I heard psyc was super hard but taking her was an easy A! We watched videos in class and the lectures were easy to follow, exams were easy and they also have bonus points. Jeopardy and family feud is the study guide and if you can't make it for exams, she's more than willing to set up a date for you! Both textbook and homework are online.
Professor Roberts is the best. Her laugh is great and she's funny. Online work is time consuming but other than that, test are easy if you show up for the jeopardy review the day before. in class assignments are extra credit so make sure to do them. overall super fun class
Her lectures are very straight forward. She gives study guides for every test. She tries to make class fun by showing videos to help you understand concepts and creates a jeopardy game before every test. She loves to give extra credit and has bonus days when alot of people are gone. Bonus questions on every test.
Good professor. A lot of HW, but its easy and if you get problems wrong you still get the credit. The exams are really hard! She offers extra credit jeopardy; which, helps you study and the points go towards your exam grade. She lectures really fast, so I recommend reading the lectures before class.
This professor is very caring and wants students to succeed! The homework helps with the tests and the tests are challenging but she does curve! I would recommend anyone who is new to stats to take her. I had never taken stats before and she was great at explaining everything! She is very kind and has a sense of humor.
She has her lectures online, but I recommend going to class because she offers assignments in class for credit. Her study guides LITERALLY say what will be on the test and she tells you the extra credit questions during lectures. She was a great professor and made psych interesting. Jeopardy and family feud helped me understand the content!
Dr. Roberts is very knowledgable and approachable. The exams are kind of poorly written, but easy and come straight from her lectures and nothing else. There's 4 Exams and a Zoo Paper but nothing else besides a few article questions. Easy A if you try!
She can be a little confusing sometimes but she is passionate about the subject. Exams are easy if you study the slides and jeopardy games. The paper is probably the easiest thing ever. In class assignments can lower your grade is you miss enough.
Dr. Roberts is so sweet, very welcoming and i loved the way she gave her lectures which were all on powerpoint and easily accessible. She does give a lot of extra credit on the most unexpected days so make sure you come to class.
Caring and passionate professor. I feel like her test are poorly written. Honestly, her class is very easy, but her test are difficult and you definitely need to study! So get ready to read. Her study guides and jeopardy helps. Don't miss class cause she gives hints on bonus questions about the test and she has surprise class assignments.
Very kind professor, but material that should be straightforward is made confusing due to her disorganized lecture slides and teaching method. Exams are often poorly written and confusing, and the study guides are not helpful. As much as I like her as a person, I must warn against taking this course with her due to its inexcusable low quality.
Dr. Roberts is a FABULOUS professor! She gets the material out there, but she has her moments when she will get distracted a bit and will rush certain parts of the chapters. It's quite easy, just come to class, pay attention, and get to know her. OH, she also gives A LOT of extra credit!!!
She is so funny, and laid back. Her laugh is the type of laugh to where you can't do anything but laugh with her. It is not a difficult class, if you give some effort, and do all the assignments you should get the grade you so desire. Take it!
Love the professor but since the class was only 50 minutes I felt like lecture was rushed. Overall fun class, did homework out of the textbook, couple extra credit activities. Exams were noncumulative and we did two essays
Take her! I loved taking her class. Dr. Kim is a gem. 4 exams but she drops the lowest one. 1 group project (need to go to the zoo). Don't buy the book you won't use it. Just study from her PowerPoint slides. I know she's a bit messy and disorganized lol but it's okay, you'll enjoy the class. Her laugh is so particular. Hilarious!
Professor Roberts was an amazing professor. This class requires you to study a lot. Make sure you attend every class to keep up with the information. She gives many, many extra credit opportunities and test hints if you show up!
I love Dr. Roberts! She is so funny and is a great professor. Make sure you're on top with online homework because the questions can get lengthy!
She is amazing, and I love going to her classes! I almost would like to not review her so that I would have less competition getting her class, she is wonderful! This is the second time I've taken her class, I've aced all of her exams, all you need to do is study the slides, and study your homework and you will get an A! :)
Had her for a 50 min class and exams had 55 questions PLUS a short answer question thats typically a full page, that doesn't even leave you a full minute to read, think, and answer the question. Makes it super difficult for people who aren't amazing test takers. Always so many mistakes on her tests & her wording is difficult to understand
Dr. Roberts is awesome. Her class is really easy. She's really smart and knows her stuff. She knows a lot of videos so it isn't exclusively lecturing. There is a group project that is EXTREMELY easy as well. Final is optional, and she drops the lowest test. The exams have 2 short answer q's on them and are free points plus EC on the test! Take her!
Dr. Roberts is a really cool professor. If you love stats, take this class! Her lectures can get confusing at times, but she is always there to help you. She hands out extra credit on a silver platter. Take advantage of it! The homework assignments and in class work will help you prepare for the tests.
Loved this class! She made it enjoyable by cracking jokes here and there. Not so lecture heavy, watched a lot of videos that did help with the content! Exams are not too bad, matches with the study guides too. She is awesome with grading quickly as well.
Book isn't "required" but I would highly reccomend as you will be teaching yourself. She flys through lectures and constantly plays videos that she can't load. The assignments are fairly simple, but the tests seem more like trivia about the videos or articles than applied understanding of the material. Would not reccomend if you like to be engaged.
Prof Roberts is sweet, caring and lovely. Really funny. With that said, tests seem trivial. Wording on slides and study guide are extremely disorganized and confusing. Flies through lecture but plays many informative videos. Really tried hard with the sudden shift to online which I appreciate. Would take again if I need but needs more organization.
her lectures are very organized and she tells you what will be on the exams. homework is online and only assigned once a week. go to class because she usually gives bonus points for showing up. she's a chill professor and she makes the topic interesting to learn about. she also has a contagious laugh
Her laugh is hilarious, it made that class much more enjoyable. She offers lots of extra credit with in-class activities and short assignments on canvas. Slides are posted but, not all of the information is on the slides so it's best to show up to class. She plays a lot of videos in class and her study guides are extremely helpful. 10/10 great prof
I would not recommend this professor at all. She speeds through lectures and doesnt even really teach, just reads off the slides. Tests can be hard because of that. If you simply have a question about an answer on a test, she sees this as disrespectful and will just ignore you. Very unprofessional.
Online is AWFUL with her. Her lectures are not engaging and she basically reads off the slide. Doesn't feel like you learn anything and every time she laughs my soul dies a little inside. Incapable of managing a zoom environment and doesn't understand basic features like how to mute the class, which allows a lot of background noise and distractions
Dr. Roberts was amazing this semester. She was very caring and understanding of the circumstances we are in, and even pushed out one of our exams. She provides extra credit and bonus points which help out a lot! Only negative was she could of allowed more time for exams. 4 Exams based of study guide and lectures. Drops lowest exam.
Professor Kim Roberts is Awesome! She really cares about her students and their education she will make sure you succeed in her class . She responds to emails very quickly, always available for office hours! Highly recommend her course.
Dr. Roberts was awesome. She is very understanding, and caring. My only negative thing to say is the time she provided for test was too short. It was always a little stressful, and I felt like I never had time to process my answers, or think. But overall she provides a study guide, and extra credit. Also drops lowest exam score including final.
The class is interesting and intriguing. Dr. Roberts provides a copy of her slides which is helpful for studying and she provides the short answer questions prior to the exam so you know what to expect and what to write. She also provides study sessions prior that helps with studying purposes. Highly recommend taking this class with her.
Dr. Kim Roberts was an amazing professor. I had her for a stats in psych course and will be taking another psych course with her in Fall 2021. For this course, you have to watch each lecture. If you miss a lecture make sure to watch the recording of it, or you will fall behind. She made this course very easy to follow along with
I love Prof Roberts! She is very kind and offers a lot of extra credit. Slides are posted but she goes into detail during class and does in class assignments so make sure to show up! Book was not used, easy A! Would definitely take again. Prof Roberts has a very kind heart and you can tell she really cares
Kim really cares about her students but her exams are extremely hard. One exam score is dropped at the end of the semester. Lecture heavy but very interesting. Has in class participation assignments that she grades so you won't want to skip class. She's definitely worth taking but get ready to work for it. Really feel like I retained a lot of info.
She really cares about her students, the lowest exam is dropped. Extra credit sometimes, but for the exam and final you need to know all the material. Slides are posted on canvas, but I recommend going to class she's the absolute sweetest.
She does not take attendance, however, every now and then she does little in-class assignment so it is best to show up to class. She drops one exam score. Textbook is needed for inquizitives. She is funny and passionate about what she teaches. Did 2 easy group projects. Makes the class engage.
Professor Roberts is so sweet! I loved attending her class. She moves fast during lectures however she has slides posted for everyone to keep along. Very caring of her students and always answers any questions they have. Two guest lectures during the semester, one group or single project which involves the zoo, quizzes are hard if not prepared.
She is very sweet and funny. I see why people said she was bad online,I had her in person and I liked her class. didn't read the textbook but we had to have it for inquisitive which by the way absolutely sucks. The tests are hard but the internet is your friend! Overall, super fun interesting class. Would recommend her. Easy A for the most part :)
Really sweet professor. Lectures were informative and provided study guides and other content online. Easy access outside of class. Be sure to pay attention to videos and powerpoints as exams may have questions that have content on the powerpoints but not within textbook. Take really good notes and you'll be fine. Also do your SONA hours early lol
I LOVE prof Roberts. She is so sweet and nice, all our assignments/papers were pretty much graded on completion. She is so cute and funny and her lectures are interesting. When it comes to exams, they are challenging, it is a lot of application questions. I recommend downloading her powerpoints to study. The overall class was great though!
Professor Roberts is a great professor! There were 4 online exams (lowest score was dropped) that were NOT very easy, small weekly assignments that she graded fairly easy, along with an ethogram paper that was very easy. Only hard part of the class were the tests. Attendance was not mandatory and do not buy the book. You will not need it.
My favorite professor I have had at my 3 years at Sac State. She cares so much about students and wants them all to succeed. She makes material easy to understand and the tests are exactly what is taught in lectures. She is genuinely a nice and caring person and it shows through her work. I would 100% take her again and recommend taking her class.
Dr. Roberts is so sweet and caring. However, it can be slightly challenging to understand her lectures so I had to do a lot of outside reading to make up for it. Also, her book was 100 dollars and only accessible online format.
Really nice professor! Tests were mostly based on the lecture slides we went over in class. Always gave a study guide for each test.
Great prof! :) Dr. Roberts is sweet, good lectures & easy few assignments. 10 InQuizitives, useful but tedious. Must buy InQuizitive, recommend buying the $25 one & finding free textbook PDF (didn't really read it, but can be helpful to find answers). 4 online exams, lowest will be dropped except the final (it's cumulative btw). Extra credit too!
This class is fair. The material is pretty difficult in my opinion but you will ultimately learn a lot. Professor is so sweet and understanding! The exams are online and the textbook comes with the course which is nice.
The class is hard and can get dry because of the content. But, she does her best to add a lot of cushion with easy in-class assignments so it is rewarding to come to class despite attendance not being mandatory. She wants you to do well... She has review Jeopardy before each exam and offers some extra credit! No papers! Online exams!
I have never met a professor more kind than Dr. Roberts. She is so caring for her students. She goes above and beyond! Exams are heavily based on slides! She offers an extra credit assignment toward the end of the course.
Assignments consists of inquizitives, 3 exams + final, and 2 papers. Offers a lot of extra credit, one being worth 12 pts. Does take attendance at least once a week and you will lose points if you aren't there. Lectures are interesting and easy to follow. Would take again.
Professor Roberts' lectures were very entertaining when she shared her stories that correlated to the material in order to better understand it. Tests were on canvas, not open-note, attendance does matter as she does them randomly through in-class assignments. Also offers extra credit/points throughout the semester.
The content was difficult for me. You really have to focus during lectures which got a little hard at times because the content can get very technical. But, the class doesn't have much hw aside from a reading every 2-3 weeks and in-class assignments sometimes. Exams are pretty tough but they are taken online and you can drop your lowest score.
She is an understanding teacher but she does go through the lecture notes fairly quickly. If you want to pass study and do notes on your own. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does have in class assignments and that's how she takes attendance. Overall a good course and teacher but not one that is a easy pass.
Very kind and approachable. Unclear expectations and guidelines when it comes to exams. Study guides are confusing and do not provide much help. Her slides get pretty disorganized, and lectures can be difficult to follow. Material on exams isn't always covered or just barely covered. No textbook, so no opportunity to go over again/ teach yourself.
The material is on the harder side, but she tries her best to help in every way she can. She is goofy and an overall sweat heart. In person class- Online exams.
Dr. Roberts was super caring and fun. However her lectures were so difficult to understand. There was no organization and they were grammatically incorrect. Since there is no textbook all the exams are based on lectures. The exams were hard to get a good grade. If she became more organized I would take the class again.
took this professor my 1st year and she was amazing. defiantly would take her again if offered. exams were online outside of the class, with in person lectures.
I absolutely love Roberts. Her lectures were always so engaging and she truly cares about her students. Once I left the class abruptly and she emailed me after class asking if I was okay. No homework, but she gives out a couple of essays plus 3 exams. Her exams are easy if you study for the Jeopardies. Such an inspirational woman.
Roberts is great! Her lectures are FAST. I gave up on taking notes because I couldn't keep up. Download the study guide and fill out as you go through the module. Textbook assignments are easy. Exams require a lockdown browser. Her exams aren't too hard but not too easy. STUDY AS YOU GO and you will do great! She is very nice and little homework!
Dr. Roberts is a funny & caring professor. Her PowerPoint material is excessive compared to what she can cover in class. She uses informative videos but ends up rushing through the material. Playing Jeopardy before exams is super helpful & fun. Drops lowest exam grade, exams are online, but time is very limited so studying is important.
She is so incredibly passionate about the class, has a deep understanding of psychology. she will not punish u for skipping, but will give you candy and bonus points for coming, esp on fridays. her textbook is incredibly thorough and interesting, and she is so good at explaining difficult topics. great professor, she inspires me to work harder.
Roberts is an engaging professor who cares about her students. While the exams are challenging, she provides helpful study tools like Jeopardies. Unstuck study can also be a useful supplement for test prep.
If you have to take any class in psychology, take it with Dr. Roberts! She is a very easygoing and knowledgeable professor. Exams can be challenging, but she uploads all of the lectures online, and you play Jeopardy as a class to help with exam questions. She is such a sweet professor. I would totally recommend her!
Her class was the hardest I had this semester but was also my favorite. For one, I love Neuroscience, but two, Professor Roberts made a hard subject easier to understand. She is a very kind person and responsive to emails. She definitely cares about her students. The only problem I had with this class was that I felt more time was needed for exams.
Prof Roberts is sweet & passionate about her work. The best types of professors are. One of the things that makes her a great prof. is having the class play jeopardy as a way to study. It shows that she cares and wants you to suceed. Her lectures are straightfoward & engaging. Canvas is organized & I don't regret taking this class.
I found this subject challenging but its mostly formulas and Dr. Roberts did a good job breaking everything down. She went a little fast for my liking every so often but overall I was able to keep up fine. Plenty of in-class practice to prep for exams. Homework is two papers and some worksheets. Overall, the workload is never too bad.
KIMMY ROBERTSSS i love love love her classes I have taken her for intro to psyc and intro to stats and she's such a sweetheart with the best laugh. Though her exams are pretty demanding, the use of a lockdown browser and are done in a short amount of time they are all done online usually. She is so entertaining using real world application! TAKE
This professor was great. attendance isn't mandatory but a lot of test answers were given lecture. The tests were difficult I found that reading the chapters along with taking lecture notes to be very helpful. This professor will answer all your questions to improve your understanding of the material. It takes effort as the student.
this prof was SO SWEET. she does a great job at teaching the course material and cracks little jokes here and there. her laugh is so silly. she also offers a little extra credit at the end of the semester which is really nice. i highly recommend her for this course and had a great time while i was in it
I enjoyed this professor and how approachable she is. Her class was kind of difficult at times because she would fly through the slides during lecture. She utilizes a lot of videos to emphasis the concepts and takes attendance through in-class assignments. Her exams use a lockdown browser with very limited time, so make sure you study.
