She is great and will do everything to help you out within reason. if you just attend class, participate in the lectures and do your portfolio you will do fine on the exams and you'll pass the class. it's and easy grade with minimal work. the way she teaches it makes it seem like more of a personal psychology class.she's great!
she's a nice teacher, lectures most of the time, emails you the notes. attendance mandatory, easy class!
great teacher, attendace is mandatory, tests are easy, sends slides for every class...highly reccomend!
coffman is AWESOME. TAKE HER! you have to read the book to pass, but all 3-4 tests are take home tests (mult. choice). the midterm and final have some do-able short answer Q's. she is very honest about the material (human sexuality) and is very professional about talking about controversial issues. she's SO nice too. go to her for w/e you need.
Nice lady. Class is very boring. She reads off a power-point and makes you go to every class. Horrible when it comes down to explaining projects. If you want a boring class take her. Not worth my money. Could have googled all the topics discussed. SOMEONE PLEASE REVISE SCHOOL CURICULAM !!
Very cool lady. Boring but very easy class. just study your notes and you will pass.
She's very nice. She will lecture all class and she emails you the lectures. Just study them and you will pass her class. The projects are not hard. Recommended. Passed the class with an A.
She is very nice and this is an easy A. I think this particular class is a waste of my money. but she is a good prof. she emails ALL notes on the 1st day and projects are easy. i recommend her and would take any other class she may teach.
Great teacher! Loved this class.
I took her for PSY2012 and she is awesome! She gives directions crystal clear and her tests are based on the power points whihc she sends you and she also goes over them in class. Her film critiques are also superrr easy. I got an A and im very happy with her :) she knows her stuff!
She's a very nice teacher, and the class is certainly simple enough. There were 3 exams, one film critique, and one conflict-resolution assignment. Study the power points and go through the chapters. The exams aren't difficult, although they make take you a while with the short responses. She grades pretty easy. Got an A.Do the work and you'll pass
AWWWWW I love her... she helped a lot.. now I am more aware of thingss.. she helped how to become a more effective peron in our society.. you have 3 exam.. one film criquite and another assigment... I passed with an A
Amazing teacher. I actually really enjoyed her class. It was a half semester course but she managed to provide so much information in the short time and actually made you become really interested. I highly recommend taking her intro to psychology course. Really knows her stuff.
Took online! only 13 discussions and 13 quizes. A discussion and a quiz due every week. The assignment due dates are a little tricky to understand the discussion and quizes are due on diffrent dates so make sure you pay attention to the calender. not a hard grader as long as you answer the questions with a lot of details and quizes come from book!.
Awesome professor. I LOVED this class. You learn a lot about yourself and the people around you. The class assignments were easy and the two essays were really easy.. The three exams take a little more because of the short response questions but they were easy too.
Amazing professor. Extremely helpful and made the class extremely interesting and was very knowledgeable in intro to psychology, ESPECIALLY for being half a half semester course.
She is a wonderful professor. Always willing to help. Very nice, a little shy though. She is sympathetic. She cares for her students. Not tough grading. Just do the assignments and you'll get an easy A
This class is very interesting. It's fun if everyone in the classroom becomes involved. The essay and in class assignments are very simple and essay. The three exams you take it her class can be very easy and simple, if you attend class and study her powerpoints.
This professor has been by far the BEST I've ever had. The class is really interesting and can become really fun when people become involved in the discussions. I do suggest that you always go to this class and be on time because she might give an easy A quiz to those who are on time and those who aren't missed their opportunity. She's super great!
This is the best professor at mdc. She is very helpful.Her class is really interesting and you learn a lot. She is just amazing!!!!!
she's great! very humble nice experience to take classes with her
Excellent professor. Outstanding interest in students who show interest in learning. Professor went above and beyond in guiding me towards the correct path in life. Very humble and down to Earth. Very aware and informed of today's criminal justice system. Unbiased and leaves the thinking to the students. She helps you learn because you're capable.
Ms. Coffman is an amazing professor, she loves the subject, can answer all your questions, has great example, as long as you get the powerpoints and attend her lectures then you will be set, she recommends great movies that will get you into the subject. She got me into going into a field that studies memory. passed with an A
Professor Coffman is right to the point with her lectures and the class is only one week!!! Have to do about a bunch of assignments each day but are extremely easy and 2 chapter tests every class session and counts as a whole one credit class. Very humble and I just wish I could of had here a longer period of time. Extremely recommend her!!
She is a good teacher. Her assignments are easy and doable. She also offers extra credits towards the course so you can earn extra points. You have to listen to the powerpoints and read the book if you want to do well on the tests. Other than that everything is easy. I recommend this teacher!
the Worst Gross Teacher i met ever!! NOT RECOMMENDED HER 100%. if you do, you will be sorry for yourself.
Not recommended her 100%!
Professor Coffman is a truly humble, down-to-earth lady. She is dedicated and engaging in class. Her psych courses are meticulously prepared in an in-class/online format of which you will find really helpful and really captivating. Her lectures are well thought out and she really knows her material. No brainer, take her.
Amazing teacher, requires a lot of work, but is there to help you, she's super clear with her expectations. You'll need to study a lot, but the course is extremely interesting. Took her once before, and will take her again if I have a chance. TAKE HER!
She is super nice. She looks strict at the beginning but not at all. Everything is through Angel. Quizzes at home are easy but you do need to study to get an A.
Annoying. Takes the class way too seriously for what it really is, a required social science course. Will grade essays based on things like how much you're willing to "open up" or how mushy you are, as opposed to how well you can memorize and apply the material. If you want to whiz through a social science credit do not take her she will annoy you.
This professor is a great person and helps you learn about yourself. The lectures are boring, long, and sometimes depressing. If you have the option of taking this class with another teacher DO IT! Professor makes this class more difficult then it has to be. MUST READ TEXTBOOK TO PASS! DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR... EVER!
I took this class as a blended course, the online portion was fairly easy. If you did the assignment with her requirements, you got an A. Class lectures were random and really didn't help us on the tests. If you are taking this class make sure you read every single chapter and use her powerpoints to study before her exams!
Lots of material to learn but all interesting. Test are hard and due every week. Lots of papers to write aswell. I took her online but every time I would reach out to her through email she would be dry and unhelpful. Not a fan.
Not recommended. Please take another Professor.
Learned a lot in merely 6 weeks. She is so inspirational. Recommend her for this course.
She is a great professor. She gives online quizzes that you do at home and a midterm and final which are taken from the quizzes, so study the quizzes. The midterm and final also have a few short answers referring the class discussions. She reviews the day before test. Lectures are super interesting. Easily passable class, totally recommend her.
I've never rated any professor, but this class was so terrible that I had to go out of my way to do this. She confuses herself on her own lectures, that are super boring by the way. Nothing she talks about is on her quizzes/exams so you must read on your own. I do not recommend her at all. She's on my list of the top 3 worst professors I've had.
I thought she was a very sweet and inspirational professor. If you read and study well, she's very easy to pass and she genuinely cares about students and people in general. She brings a lot of real examples and scenarios into the class that actually benefit and help you in life and not just in the class alone
I only had her for about 3 weeks before I dropped the class. She seemed to be very nice. Although, when you have 3-5 other classes it can be extremely difficult to keep up with all the assignments that are due every week. Especially because she is very unorganized. The lectures I attended for those 3 weeks were very boring and I couldn't really understand them. The work load was just too heavy each week plus other group projects and essays. I just didn't have the time for it all. Good luck!
She is honestly the best professor, I don't see why people keep saying she is not good... but I guess those didn't want to learn psych oh well.
Prof. Coffman is the best! Lectures are inspirational and she makes the class interesting. If you follow her instructions on the assignments, you'll pass. The quizzes and exams are super easy if you study and read the textbook.
Im confused by people saying things like "Lots of assignments- You have to read the book" NEWS FLASH, if you don't want to read or have to do assignments then you shouldn't be in college. Professor Coffman is so sweet, her lectures are interesting and fun and she teaches the material very well. Assignments are easy! Take her class!!
She is amazing! It was my first semester of college and she made me feel like I was at home, she teaches her lessons clearly and st a great pace, I felt like I could put all my input along with the class, she is honestly the best and very caring! I would definitely take her again without a doubt!
Sweetest professor I had for my first semester. The class is pretty easy, just pay attention to the notes and look through a few pages of the textbook around the announced quiz/exam dates. There are a couple difficult or time consuming assignments, but it really just takes a bit of effort. Do the homework! I'd love to have her as a professor again.
Really sweet, amazing professor, amazing lectures, very clear about what is needed to do to pass the class. If you pay attention in class (which is not difficult because its a very interesting psych class), you will pass with an easy A. I would definitely take this class again.
She's a really great teacher who wants her students to pass, cares, and actually applies her teachings to the real world. Don't be late to class especially during a quiz or exam since it bothers her. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that your grade was based on many things, which some people may like but I'm not a fan of hw even if it is easy
This was an amazing class. She wants her students to learn and understand the material. She knows what she is teaching and is good at it. She gives quizzes, a midterm and a final. Easy pass if you try. :)
She gives you a study guide (summary) and a power point, but those are rarely seen on the proctored midterm and final. She gives a 50 question midterm and a 100 question final. Don't bother asking for a study guide for the actual exams because you won't be getting one. Read the book thoroughly and you will pass.
SUPER INTERESTING CLASS!! The psychology of genocide class was one of the best classes Ive ever taken at MDC. This professor makes the class super interesting and motivates you to want to be in class for each lecture. Theres a lot of work given every week but nothing hard! Please take her if you get the chance! You wont regret it!
The book is your best friend and her test are hard.
Her tests are not hard at all. Literally take down notes from class and look at the powerpoint slides. She also says what the short answer questions will be. At the end of the semester she has you do a film critique which is long a f.
I took an online class. Only one final exam for all 16 chapters. NO study guide. No make-up assignments. Long writing assignments plus quizzes every week right till the end. Very tough grader. Do not recommend. Inflexible professor.
strict on turning in assignments but took kimberly the entire course to get my grade, no up to date grading. Missed the Final a non proctored test (easiest assignment) but weighted 30 percent of my grade, I could of gotten an F and still would of passed with a 79 percentile. did a paper of 8 pages APA and was worth only 10 percent hardest assignmen
A lot of writing with very little feed back. If you receive a poor grade on one of her assignments, she will not show you her graded material unless you ask for it. no make up work, no study guides, midterm is proctored and extremely difficult. Takes very long to return with grades for assignments. making it difficult to see progress in class.
This professor may provide a lot of work. But it helps with your grade at the end. Just make sure to do it all. Dont skip and ask questions. They are an amazing professor that understands and will help you when you ask for it.
I recently took PSY2012 online through the virtual college with Prof. Coffman in the Fall 2018 term. The class is structured very well, and the professor is very thorough. She was open to any questions i had throughout the term, and was very understanding to myself and other student's needs. Take this class for a semi-easy A as long as you study.
This was my first online class, she responded to all my emails quickly and answered all my questions . She is a tough grader and her mid term and final are pretty hard . She does not tell you anything about whats going to be on the exams
She sticks to the syllabus 100%. Won't give extra credit or extend assignments. Took the class for a mini term and it was almost impossible to keep up. You really have to login every single day and lots and lots of reading. Great and answering questions but won't extend any due dates or let you make up work.
Professor Coffman is an AMAZING psychology professor. Although I took AP Psychology and passed with the 3, some materials came easily and some were new, but not difficult to comprehend. If you read and outline the chapters before, all you need to do is listen and add new notes in between. TAKE HER!!!! SHES THE BEST!!!
I absolutely love professor Coffman, shes so very kind hearted and gentle. I love the group project/assignment that she has us do its always so much fun and laughing. This class with really open up your mind to view a lot of different perspectives in life. 10000% guaranteed! A little tip on her grading your hw etc. DO THE APS ON THE HWs
I really dont understand why she has such a high rating. Yea she's nice, but nothing is ever explained in her class and she just expects you to find everything online and do everything yourself, including learning how to APA format, while deducting points for doing it wrong, and not telling you why they were deducted. All in all stay away !
I loved taking her class. It was a little hard but a great experience. One of the better and definitely more caring professors. She will do whatever it takes to make sure she gives you the tools you need to pass. Amazing with reminders when things are due, easy hw, and easy extra credit. Shes corny but sweet and I would take her again!
This class is basically an online course which caught me extremely off guard. The only things you need to go to class for is the tests. Also, shes extremely strict with the deadlines, not allowing even an extra 5/10 minutes to turn it in. I would tell you to go to class, but itd be a waste of time since all the learning is done online
I took CCJ1191 over virtual school thinking it would be easier than in-person classes. I was totally mistaken. There were quizzes, explanation posts, and discussion posts due almost every week. The class was very difficult for no reason. the proctored exams were 40% of your grade, so if you fail, good luck! No legit study guide, 40+ page chapters.
she is a good professor but she gives a lot of homework. She will give you tips for exams.
Shes a little tough, she makes you work for those discussions. It has to be 300 words and you have to respond to one person with 150 words. proctored midterm but final is at home. all quiz answers are online.
She is very kind and accessible, but she gives a lot of work and quizzes. There are two tests of 50 questions and the final with 100 questions. You have to read a book of 500 pages if you want to pass this class. She gives a lot of extra credit, and she is very strict with citations in your writing.
At first, the class might seem like a lot of work, but you quickly realize this is not true. This was an amazing class and I loved the professor. She was super sweet, and the class was always very interesting. She wants you to succeed and won't hesitate to provide the extra credit needed to do so. 10/10. Would recommend, and take again if I could.
Took this class in an 8 week session so the reading and work was time consuming. I enjoyed this class very much, tough but worth it. She makes you think and research in your discussions. Tests were challenging at times, but as long as you do the work and study you can earn and A. Very smart and detailed professor. Feedback allowed for improvement.
This teacher gives ALOT of work. I took this online just because of COVID-19 thankgod. Tests are really hard and specific. The professor herself is super nice and really tries to help but the class is hard.
She is so sweet and offers so many extra credit opportunities. At first, she may seem to give out lots of work, but you can complete it all even a few hours before it is due. If you have questions, you can email her and she is very quick to respond (less than an hour). Exams are easy if you know the material. Overall, AMAZING class!! I love her!
This professor was amazing. There's a lot of assignments but all worth it. Very creative with her grading system. Everything she does benefits the students and I appreciate that so so so much.
So many things I could say about professor Coffman, she is so sweet and the way she talks about psychology makes us feel she really loves what she is doing, she is very inspirational, there will be a lot of lectures, a quiz every two weeks, and a lot of homework, but it's easy if you know how to manage your time.
Professor Coffman's class was not hard at all. There are weekly online textbook assignments, packbacks, and then the exams. Overall her class wasn't stressful and her lectures are interesting. She's very sweet and I'd recommend her to everyone.
She is such a great professor, she truly cares about her students and wants them to pass. There is homework due every week and a midterm all online.
She's really caring and passionate about psychology. Achieve assignments can be a bit much but they are super easy and dont take long to complete. One packback question every week (super easy). Midterm and final are not proctored and can be taken at home. The class is an easy A.
She's super sweet!! I would definitely take her again, I recommend her to everyone. homework on achieve and packback question every week. midterm and final are online and not proctored. she also provides lots of extra credit opportunities and she's understanding about missing class.
She gives you a schedule of when everything will be due and changes it if needed. The only thing I would say is that there are lots of homework. You have to do Packback questions and answers and Flip. You have around 11 quizzes and 2 exams. She does drop your 3 lowest grades on packsack and two quizzes I think. She is very nice and answers emails.
Professor Coffman is super nice and understanding. She provides multiple extra credit opportunities through out the semester, midterm/final are online and not proctored. She makes sure that everyone is understanding the lesson and plays videos to further explain the chapters. Her lectures are really good! Easy A class.
Took her completely online. Her assignments aren't hard discussion board/ quizzes every week and Mid-term and final proctored. But overall I enjoyed her class.
I took Dr. Coffman during the Summer A mini term for the 2023 summer semester. The class isn't hard but make sure to do your homework as it can be detrimental to your grade if you don't do it. She responds to her emails fast. She is super nice and super understanding. I recommend her to anyone!
I took Professor Coffman as a mini term and we had weekly assignments that were organized very well. She was very understanding if anything every happened and was very kind. She was always there to help her students and was very knowledgeable on what she was teaching. I would recommend everyone to take her!!!
Professor Coffmans class mostly consisted of weekly Packbacks and Quizzes. Was a simple class she provided an up to date syllabus and gave us weekly announcements. She curves the final, shes really nice when you reach out to her.
Professor Coffman is a good professor and her lectures were interesting. The class is very heavy and most of the assignments are time consuming, so if you are not too fond of that I would not suggest taking her class. She gives extra credit and is nice when approaching her for a question.
She really does not teach. She gave us tons of homework and it wasn't hard but it was annoying. Besides that shes sweet but she REALLY DOESN'T TEACH!! Would not take again!!!
She's very sweet and caring over students, you can ask her for help or extra time if you need it. She doesn't really teach a lot and it's a lot of assignments, but they're easy overall. Her tests align with the homework so you can properly study. I personally liked her energy and she never has a bad demeanor.
Besides being a respectful and caring professor shown in the college, be prepared for her online lectures she will be reading from and lots of time-consuming Top Hat assignments. She is welcome for any help you need for office hours and provide extra credit. She can be disorganized for when assigning dates for when each online task is due.
Professor Coffman was great! I had her online, and I knew some of the material beforehand; the class just ended up being extremely easy for me. The assignments and exams aren't hard at all; you don't even need to study for a long time to remember the material. Also, she's super understanding if you just communicate with her. Overall 10/10 :)
A professor that truly cares about her students and about the classes she teaches.
The greatest professor at MDC! Work load can seem overwhelming, but she's incredibly considerate, flexible & educated on each topic she teaches. 3 in-person exams with provided study guides that are life-saving! At home quizzes are non-proctored. Take Professor Coffman if you value quality education in topics others are too scared to discuss.
Professor Coffman teaches so well! There were 3 exams, which were cake. The textbook is accessible through TopHat which is literally goated! Professor Coffman is the best professor, taking “taboo” subjects and fostering an inclusive and well educated environment for students to ask all/ any questions. Take this class, literally eye opening! 11/10
I personally really enjoyed this class, the professor does give more assignments than other classes but I enjoyed them because they were very unique. The professor is very passionate and ignited a lot of interesting in class discussions. I would take this class again!!!!
Gave us at least 3 opportunities in 1 semester to redo all projects and assigments, lectures very interesting in class, literally a goat ngl, very interesting professor and makes her class very personable. 100% would take again, cares very much for her students. The Goat.
Professor Coffman is an excellent professor who gives plenty of opportunities when it comes to your grade, be it extra credit or reopening past assignments for full credit. Just make sure to attend class as she grades participation.
I've said this many times and I will say it again: Dr. Coffman is honey personified. She is so incredibly sweet and caring in her class and is very knowledgeable about what she teaches. She will guide you as a student and give you life advice. Please take her!
Dr. Coffman is super caring and sweet. Her social research class is not the easiest, as it is a bit of a workload, especially if you let it pile up. However, she constantly monitored our progress and changed dates depending on it. She gives various extra credit, and you will walk out of her class with a research project under your belt. Also study!
