Dr. Davidson is a GREAT professor. She has her own practice so she shares her stories with us. She also leaves a lot of discussion time for the students to share. Her class is fun, interesting, and she REALLY wants you to do well. There are many opportunities to bring up your grade if its not good. Definitely a good professor to pick!

For the Psych of Sexual Diversity honors seminar, class is based entirely on articles, no book. Classes consist of discussion of articles and occasionally movies. Prof is very nice and helpful, but sometimes grades papers and essay questions harshly. Very interesting class!!

Psych of Sexual Diversity with Dr. K is really great and she is really passionate about the topic. A couple of papers, 1 of which is big, a midterm and a final. No textbook for this course, just printing off articles from Blackboard. NOT an easy grader, but the class is a MUST! It's the most interesting Honors seminar I took at JMU.

You should read at least before tests in order to get an A. One paper (easy) and 4 tests (medium difficulty) make up your grade. She is an amazing teacher I really enjoyed this class!

Dr. K is a part time counselor so definitely knows what she's talking about. You'll bust your butt outside of class and not do much in class. Quiz every week on 30 page chapters, that are so detailed and tricky that you may not do well even if you took detailed notes. Assigns very nit-picky papers.

Dr. Davidson expects a great amount out of her students, but reciprocates with even more on her own part. She enjoys quasi-experimental classrooms, so if you sign up for her expect to go be a part of her class, not just get a grade for it. Also, I have learned more writing skills from her feedback than any English class, which says something.
