She is a cool teacher all you have to do to pass and take good notes and study them and you will get a good grade. I reccommend her as the best teacher I took so far here at San Diego City College!
Has been working in the field for a long time. Creates nice PPT presentations and makes them available on her website for download (helps in note taking). Gives little tidbids of info to make things interesting. (ex. A sneeze travels at 103 mph.) Hard summer course - lots of info to cover in short period of time.
Absolutely wonderful professor. She is very open to questions and has an answer for everything. I want to take another class of hers'. The exams were simple because the study guide is so in depth. Loved her!
This teacher was extremely easy! I ended up over studying for the first test and it was really easy. I rarely showed up to class but I was always there the day she gave the study guide and it was enough to get As on all the tests. Everything in this class is interesting because it applies to real life and she can answer any question
She is one of my favorite teachers at City College and I look forward to taking another one of her classes next semester. summer school was a bit intense because there was so much reading in a short amount of time. However if you read the text book and study from the study guide it is an easy A.
I had her for human sexual behavior and I never opened the text book or took notes yet I managed to come out with an A. Attendance and paying attention is key. The material is so interesting that it'll just stick to you without rigorous note taking.
amazing teacher! one of the most inspiring women you'll ever meet! fantasic class. i highly recommend..
Great teacher! Keeps you interested in the topics. I took a psychology course before and dropped it cause it was so boring. She lets you print out her slides for notes and studying later and also gives study guides. Very helpful. Any question she will try and answer. Recommend her for any of her classes.
She is clear with her study guide and whatever's on the test is on her study guide. Very fair. Available to students and there is no such thing as a dumb question with her.
She is a great Instructor ! very clear on lectures, homeworks and test ! 5 homeworks, 4 exams and 1 Term paper(3pages) is all you have to do ! I recommended to all students who are taking Psychology class ! test is easy if you study and you will get an A :]
Dr. Cole is an awesome professor! She is very clear on what she expects from you and is very willing to go out her way to help if you're in need. Just have to ask. She is PSYC savvy and what you learn is most of the time the most current info you can get. Take her class you wont regret it!
Fantastic teacher, if you are a visual student take her, she uses power point for her lectures and you can print them from her website. they really help to understand the subject. shes funny too
Professor Coleman is a wonderful teacher. Her class is well planned, it follows and goes according to her syllabus. She is very clear on what she expects and her study guides are very helpful. I also like the fact that she uses powerpoints. This is a great class very informative and I HIGHLY recommend this class to everyone!
I took Dr. Cole for Human sexuality and Abnormal Pysch and LOVED her! I never meant to go back to school for anything more then I made a promise to my mom. And I had her for my first class. And she changed my life! I am now a full time student studying Psychology!
Super Awesome teacher. Crystal clear in everything that is on the lectures. Would totally take another one of her classes.
Amazing instructor. Explains everything. Handouts for tests, non-cumilative final, Fun assignments. Book is easy read. No nightly homework. I really understand Abnormal Psych after having her. She is funny and easy going. Will help you anytime! If you like psych you will love her class!!
WOW! This class is a must for any and every student. Well worth it. Just show up to class and pay attention. It's that easy. She has a couple of Essay's that are fun as well.
She is the best teacher I have ever had.
She is such a cool teacher. Got me into psychology- I was always excited to go to her class. I leanred alot and never used the book and still got an A!!! I will take her again for Psych 137
Very organized professor. Extremely easy to follow her lectures and homework when she gives any out. Which is like 3 or 4 times through the semester. Took 137 now taking 101 and she is very good professor. Would recommend her to anyone. A+++
One of the most amazing professors I've ever had. She is light-hearted and very easy to get along with. She is always willing to help with anything. I have taken 101 and 137 with her and will most likely take her 245. Little homework and she definitely sets you up to succeed!!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER! I look all of her classes! TAKE HER AS YOUR PROFESSOR!!!!! U WILL SCORE AAAAAAAAA!! Take sure you pay attention in class! She is very helpful!
Hot!!;) and very helpful!! love her!!
I took her abnormal psych class and i loved the way she teaches, so clear and very helpful. This fall semester i took her psych 137 and i got an A of course with her great teaching, but because i worked hard as well. Take her she is the best at what she does. If it wasn't because i was done with all my Psych classes i would take all her classes.
easy, funny teacher, great class
Exellent teacher, funny, easy, if you have problems you can talk to her and she will find a way to help.
LOVED human sexuality. She is one of the best professors i've had. She makes everything so clear! Cares about her students and was such a great help to me this semester. I wish I could be as great of a person as her!!
She is just an awesome, gifted professor.
Bad Ass Dr!She will help you if you aren't getting the information, having personal problems and guidance in life in general. She doesn't judge. This Professor is the best you must take her classes you won't regret the decision!
she's a great professor! loved this class!!! she gives study guide, i didn't use the book and passed, i'm sure if i used the book i would've gotten an A, this was an easy class. one big paper (case analysis) at the end, pretty easy, i thought i'd bomb it but i got an A (: TAKE HER. she's a very good teacher! and nice.
she is the best teacher she knows what she is doing best best, take her!
DR. COLE LOVES HER SUBJECT AND JOB. SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER AND VERY CLEAR ON WHAT SHE EXPECTS FROM STUDENTS. I TOOK PSYC 101 JUST AS A REQUIREMENT AND ENDED UP TAKING 137 WITH HER, NOW I WILL TAKE 245! I ENJOY HER LECTURES. SHE USES SLIDES WHICH YOU CAN PRINT AT HOME AS NOTES. A VERY ORGANIZED TEACHER, I LOVED HER CLASSES!
great techer! and very passionate! you'll definitely learn if you try!
She has a great personality. She LOVES to spend time answering question. She's really passionate about her career, and she has some GREAT stories about some patoents she has. I am passing the class, and I have really not read ANY chapter, and it's summer. The book helps to reinforce what was taught in class, but if u don't read, you're capable of a B. Great professor!!!
Dr. Cole is awesome! Her lectures are well thought out and organized with slides that she makes available for you to take notes on. She has several guests speakers through the semester and they are always a lot of fun. Her class is easy, just show up and do the homework. She is the BEST!!
Dr. Cole is an amazing teacher. She?s very organized, straightforward and wants you to succeed. Make sure you go to class, pay attention and take very good notes. I didn?t use the book as much and I got an A. She?s the best teacher I?ve ever had! I will definitely take more of her classes! It was a privilege to be one of her students.
Everything they say is true!The JC system is LUCKY to have her. The best instructor AND class I've ever had and I already did a 4 yr college. Tests are MORE than reasonable, she always gives you the benefit, homework and term paper FUN,practical. Worth the 45 min drive to a night class. You will need to be there and work but it earned me my first A
Love her class! Amazing professor!
Dr. Cole is the best professor I've had! She's interesting, and what she has to say is always relevant, accurate, organized, and comes from experience and up to date research. She sets her students up for success, and is extremely helpful. I can't wait to take another one of her classes.
Professor Cole is one of the best professors city has. She is vrey helpful and open to any questions you have. Plus the class is completely interesting.
Meaningful, patient and loves what she does. She will take the time to make sure you understand. Apply yourself and it will be recognized. Highly recommended.
Awesome!
This course give you all the tools to be successful in psy. pay attention cuz if you do you will learn so many useful things. Great professor extremely helpful&she knows what shes talking about. shes def. top notch professor. Take this course but be ready 2 read a bit and do a portfolio. More work then i thought 4 a 1 unit. But worth it u learn to
Great, helpful, love her to death she changes your life, I advice you to take the class its fun you learn so much from of it
Dr. Cole is the "best all around" teacher. She uses simple and concise PowerPoint slides that you print and bring to class. She has tons of clinical experience and still works in the field. She has wonderful stories to share that bring the class to life! She gives great study guides before each test. She is the BEST teacher I've ever had.
I love her! Her class decided my major for me. Very concise powerpoints and study guides. If you try and are interested in the curriculum you'll do fine! And she's solid for networking too.
Come on everyone knows who Dr. Cole is, she is the best teacher ever. I love how positive and supportive she is. I love the way she teaches.
she rocks, good work , not too easy, great attitude towards what and who she is teaching. highly recomended!!!
AMAZING teacher!! you must take her! she make the class super interesting and she tells you exacly what you need to know for the exam. you have about 4 test, some easy homework and a 5 pg paper that is super easy and fun to do
Amazing professor. She made it all very interesting and made me love going to class! She engaged in all subjects and brought up personal experience which kept it super fun! Everyone should take a class with her!
Simply stated she is the best of the best of the best. Take her and you
This is a life changing class, 4 tests, provides study guides one week prior, several easy hw assignments, 1 paper (case analysis) must read novel for it, allows you to turn it late. offers 25 points extra credit. very knowledgeable, and understanding. You don't need to read the book, tests off lectures and she posts notes online. Loved this class.
She is the best teacher I have ever had. She is warm, approachable and has taught me a lot. Love this lady!
DR. COLE IS THE BEST PROFFESSOR AND MAKES SURE THAT YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND HER MATERIAL! IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE ANY PSYCHOLGY CLASSES THAT SHE TEACHES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!
Dr. Cole is a great professor, she is very well educated as well as nice and personable. She is always willing to give advice and help. I recommend her!
great teacher. very helpful. study guides are very clear and tests are all off the study guide
Best teacher ever. Funny, fair, and she makes lectures crystal clear. The tests are super easy, and if you get the highest grade in the class, you will be exempted from the final. Low book usage, however, you should read it so you can participate and earn points. Extra credit assignments throughout the semester. Great learning experience overall.
She is a good professor , I totally agree with all the comments above and below. However, when I stop by her office for help she explained to me as I was forcing her to pull out all the information or help I needed. Office hours are to help students not to be mean with them.
professor is expert in the field of abnormal psych and DID, wonderful to learn from her. Easy to earn an A if you do the work: read chapters, take notes. She does not try to trick you, gives study guides for the 4 tests (not cumulative) 1 paper and 5 hw assignments. doesn't allow off topic sharing: no AODS majors recovery stories <3 listen & learn
She's a therapist and very knowledgeable. Class is entirely lecture, no group work. Some easy HW and a paper and tests. Not the warmest or friendliest professor, often gets frustrated when asked questions, especially if a student disagrees with her. She's a good teacher but not great. Lots of AODS students, so too much focus on drugs/alcohol.
First few weeks she explained the different paths in psychology, then all classes consisted of a differet guest speaker. Most were her friends or other professors at school. Too many therapist guest speakers. Textbook is helpful with lots of resources. Overall, a nice class. No group work. Only weekly reflections and a portfolio.
Dr. Cole is one of the best professors I have ever studied under. She is super clear, and always makes time for her students. If you have any questions go to her office hours and she'll be loads of help. Will try to take her for 201 and 245
Professor Cole is a great professor. Tests were multiple choice and there was only one paper. She teaches from PowerPoint and I never bought the book as did well. Learned a lot and enjoyed the class.
She is absolutely the most amazing Professor I have ever had. Dr. Cole is a psychologists. She is outstanding, extremely kind, full of compassion and so much knowledge. She gives direct information and study guides that directly relate to the test. Her class consists of 4 exams and a paper. I would highly recommend her.
She is really helping and caring, if you have a problem, just talk to her and solved! If you are a psych major student, you may need her in the future, then develop a good relationship with her. Very easy going and cool.
She is just perfect, that's all I can say... I really miss her.
She is an amazing professor ! You will feel inspired by her lectures and her classes are not hard. She will always help you if you have difficulties with the class and I highly recommend her because she is a really kind and knows her stuff.
Her class was amazing. Her lectures were never boring she was super confident about the topic and she also knows a lot about this. The exams are not hard, you just have to study. She just assigns one paper and it's not that long. I would recommend taking her class because you will learn a lot from her. She does an amazing job. Take her if you can.
This lady has a halo, and a soothing calmness about her personality. She is not only an amazing person, but she is also caring, yet very professional, and very helpful. Her class was one of the most interesting psych classes that I ever took, and she offers extra credit too. All what you need to do is attend and take good notes and do the homework.
Take this class if you have the chance, you won't regret it. She has a lot of knowledge about psychology and humas behavior. I learned tons in this class and it was pretty simple, you just have to study. She is an awesome professor.
She's the best psychology professor you could ever ask for! She's witty, nice, intelligent. Her lectures are clear, she hands out homework and they aren't hard. She gives out study guide before the midterms which is very helpful. She's nice to her students and her lectures are never boring. Don't hesitate to take her, you'll be glad you did.
If everyone took Dr. Cole's sexuality class the world would be a much better place. The whole class had a lot of fun exploring the physical, psychological, and social aspects of sexuality. The textbook was actually an interesting read and worth keeping. She's great at incorporating class discussions in the lectures and everyone had a great time.
Professor Cole's class was amazing! I have such a better understanding of mental illness and what different therapies can do to help. I respect that she came from a recovery perspective when lecturing. Anyone can earn a good grade in her class if you show up, pay attention with an open mind, do the term paper, and study prior to every test.
Class and lecture were very structured. She was very professional when talking about mental illness and how to diagnose and treat patients. It was nice to see an emphasis on therapy rather than medicine alone to treat problems. Exams test your ability to diagnose disorders. Only a few homework assignments.
Love Professor Cole. She prepares you to gain an A. It's up to you to study and participate.
Everyone should deffinetly consider taking this class if you can fit it in your schedule if you want more in depth knowledge about sexuality! Exams are pretty easy and straight from the lecture. 5 easy homework assignments and one research paper. This class is deffinetly worth taking
She is such great professor. Extremely caring and super knowledgeable. The tests are pretty easy as long as you take notes and pay attention in her class. Show up to class.
She's an amazing professor with such valuable insight & experience in the field of psychology & her use of real life examples in between the lectures made a lot of information easier to understand. I was never bored & ended up learning so much more than I expected. I really enjoyed the case studies & as long as you pay attention you'll be fine.
Dr. Cole is amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Her lectures are fascinating and she makes sure to bring in experts to elaborate further on a topic. She is a great mentor and connection to have, so take full advantage of her resources. LOVE HER
she is amazing!!!! So caring and knowledgeable
One of the best professors so far. She is very knowledgeable and respectful. She is very clear on assignments, quizzes. The tests aren't hard if you go to class and read the chapters. Class was a lot of fun, so interesting! She's great!
She brings in a bunch of guest speakers in different fields, and your textbook goes into more detail about what to major in, how to build a resume, getting ready for grad school, etc. She genuinely has a passion for psychology and wants to share it with others. The class consists of six reflections from the book, and a portfolio at the end.
Dr. Cole is by far one of the best professors i've had so far. Her lectures are always interesting & easy to follow. Her class is pretty easy as long as you show up to class & pay attention. she gives lots of real life examples to help you understand the material better. i highly recommend taking her class!
Dr. Cole is by far the best professor I had at SDCC. She is the reason I was able to transfer to USD! Motivating, helpful, genuine, knowledgeable, and real! I took 3 classes, and loved all 3 of them.
Dr. Cole is the best professor I have ever had. Super organized. Informative Lectures. Read, take notes, study power points, attend class and you'll do great. Communicates clear and well. Lecture heavy. assignments spread throughout semester- not hard. Grades well. caring. Always accessible. highly recommend.
Dr. Cole is an amazing Professor. She is extremely passionate about what she does and it shows. She show the lack of diversity in the psychology field. Her lectures are not boring and makes you want to go to class to listen to them. She also knows that life happens and that we need to take care of our mental health.
She was amazing and has truly inspired me to go into the psychology field! I truly recommend taking one of her classes she is terrific and I have learned so much from her.
Professor Cole is AMAZING at what she does. She is passionate and supportive!. If you show up to class, pay attention, take notes and actually study you should pass! She is kind and definitely cares about her students definitely recommend(:
I love Dr. Cole I have taken just about all of her classes as a psych major and am never bored. She's passionate, interesting and really cares about her students and the field of psychology. If you have the opportunity to take her class you totally should.
She is definitely worth meeting. Her experience and amazing perspective enrich the classes. You will have several homework assignments and quizzes but are easy as long as you skim the readings and pay attention to the lectures. Make sure you appreciate her knowledge and comments. Easy class if you like psych and don't mind long lectures.
Best teacher I've ever had!!! I look for other classes of hers to take even if I don't need to just because I learned SO MUCH in her abnormal Psych class. Really reinforced my choice of Psych as a career choice. Looked forward to attending her lectures and would recommend to everyone I know. Top of her field bt far.
I took asynchronous abnormal psychology with Dr. Cole. She is incredibly nice, and uses the Cengage MindTap format for almost all assignments (there are a lot, but theyre pretty easy!) minus a few discussion posts. Gives great feedback wherever feedback is actually applicable.
Dr Cole was an excellent professor. She gave very useful feedback in the discussions and was engaging. As it was an online class, her lectures were all pre-recorded but I enjoyed them so much and learned a lot not just about abnormal psychology, but also tips that I can use in my own life. She graded quickly so you always knew where you were at.
Best teacher I've had so far. There is multiple easy 10 question quizzes for each chapter and some discussions. It's an easy class to pass. She provides plenty of information but gets straight to the point. Also liked that I was able to work ahead.
This class was extremely helpful for finding new areas of interest in Psychology. Professor Cole provides so much insight and gives feedback on every assignment. I recommend her if you are having trouble deciding what subfield you're interested in. Clear, easy class/assignments. Put effort into your work, submit everything and you'll get an A.
It was an 8 week class and everything was very straightforward. You do have to buy the textbook which is a bit of money. But it was a very helpful class because the professor gives amazing feedback on careers in psych that interest you. Great class overall!
Professor Cole is the most helpful and inspiring Professors I have had. Her expectations and grading is clear and fair, feedback is helpful, and she goes above and beyond to help and inspire. I took 3 of her classes and if I wasn't graduating this Spring, I would take another.
Easy. Lets you work ahead. No tests.
Professor Cole is one of the best professors I have ever had. You will be hard pressed to find another staff member who cares more about you as a person. The work is not easy, but she ensures you have the confidence and support needed for success. She is an excellent communicator, and passionate about bringing the best out of her students.
I took the accelerated psy201 course, but honestly the work was very easy to do. At most this class took me an hour per week. She's very reachable in case you need help with anything, and she's a pretty lenient grader. No complaints
I love this professor! Her course content for accelerated Psych 137 was so interesting and I would take her again. I found myself often going far over the word count for her discussion posts because of how interesting the course content was. Only downside is how expensive the textbook was. An amazing professor, kind, and communicative.
Very good professor; she's caring and knowledgeable. Gives good feedback. Homework on Cengage: Mindtap, as well as digital textbook. Vocabulary quizzes and chapter quizzes plus discussion boards. Manageable workload, and interesting subject matter. I took Human Sexual Behavior with her; I'm taking Abnormal Psychology with her next semester. Love!
Professor Cole is a passionate and engaging lecturer. The class has quizzes and homework, but they're manageable if you attend lectures and do the readings. unstuckstudy was a big help for prepping and saving time.
Amazing professor I've taken all the classes I can possibly take with her that she is offering. She is extremely knowledgeable and inspirational and she wants the best for her students. She genuinely cares about each and every one of them.
Great Mentor!
Professor Cole, is an excellent instructor. She cares how the students are comprehending the class material. She always asked for students feedback.
