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.

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.

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.

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 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!
