coming back to teaching after a long time treating various patients, including dangerous criminals.loses train of thought fairly easily. Very good at posting notes on P-Drive, this helps because they're not always in order or even finished when presented in class. Exams are fairly easy. Personally think she needs to find her niche in teaching.

The first few classes I was convinced this class would be awful but after a while she grew on me. She is VERY clear with what you should know and if you have a legitamit problem with something on an exam she is likely to change your grade. She is a bit of a push over and some students seem to take advantage of that. Overall she was a good prof.

Definately take this teacher for intro. to psych. The slides on the p-drive are specific to what you should study in the book. Mostly you can study just the slides and get good grades on the midterms. Be sure to give a friend that goes to class your A number so you can get the class points without actually going to class:)

She wastes a lot of time in class explaining things in much more detail than necessary so she cant get through her power-points and skips a lot of info. Worse part is that she posts different power-points online to go back and refer to so it's really hard to organize your notes. Also gives a lot of online quizzes and book is very necessary.
