The class was a great choice. A professor is good when they can make you want to do the work and still keep a decent grade. The first couple weeks i was sure it was going to be horiable and when finals came around i was upset to end the class. Stick with this course you will be surprised by the progression.

The class itself isn't hard. Following her lectures, the huge projects, the content and grading of her exams, are what will drop your grade. You must do all the extra credit if you want you grade to survive. WILL NOT BUMP YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE 1 OR 2 POINTS SHORT OF A GRADE. Good luck if you take this class with her.

This professor knows her stuff. She is very knowledgeable in this area and lectures the whole class time. There is a not that difficult project, easy group project, easy homework assignments, you get the essay questions for the exams beforehand so you can study them and write out a good response.

I know she has a lot of good ratings but I feel like she is the worst. She would explain things in a very specific way then completely change it for the tests.

Stilianos was one of my least favorite professors so far in OCC. She does not respond well to questions and constantly brags on and on about her PhD. She seems more concerned with telling you stories about herself than actually explaining psychology. I will say that her test study guides make the class a breeze, but she was unbearable.
