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!
Dr. K is sucha great teacher. She always wants her students to do well. She makes quizes to help your grade. She goes over everything in class. Get to know her personally and she will help you out.
omg i love dr. k!! she is probably the best professor i have had at jmu. even though the subject may not be that interesting, she makes it fun. she is the funniest teacher ever!! def. take her you will not regret it. she likes to sing and relate the topics to real life and has awesome stories
Dr.K is a really fun and good professor. She knows what shes talking about and makes it interesting for the students.
Dr.K is amazing!! Her class requires some work, but her tests arent that hard and she helps you out when shes grading. This class isnt a "easy A" class but its fun and a lot better than other psyc classes!!
Awesome class...you're a moron if you pass up taking 160 with her. You won't regret it. Classes are lectures directly from the book and she brings some stories from her life into the lectures to make it funny and much more interesting. I didn't care about psyc before this class but she made it interesting. Definitely take her class.
Dr. K is really cool. class discussions were very interesting and made you want to put your two cents in the conversation. go to class and read the book and your golden goose. tests are kinda hard and start the research paper early cuz she grades that pretty hard. But overall a butter class i must say
Dr. K is the most amazing professor I have met at JMU. She is fun and energetic and keeps the classes exciting. I would recommend her to anyone. She is absoluelty amazing and will help you as much as you need. Her stories are interesting and everyday is different so their is never a dull moment.
She is a great professor and very helpful. Dr. K really cares about you, and the grade you get. She promotes class discussion and near the end of the course you will get to do a debate which made the class fun.
Really great professor. Cares about students and is very available and always willing to help. Class isn't hard if you do your reading and keep up with work. If you don't you'll be lost and won't do well on tests. Definitely recommend her class
She is a great teacher and is really here to help us out. As long as you go to class and skim your book you will do really well in her class. She is also a lot of fun so if you joke with her she will joke back. Also bring her ice tea and you will get extra credit.
If you take one of Dr. Davidson?s classes here is what you can expect: fun, relaxed atmosphere, interesting assignments, stimulating lectures and CLARITY. She will tell you exactly what is expected of you in class and will also support it with multiple examples that she posts on blackboard. Dr. Davidson is all about helping her students do really w
she's all about getting you interested in what shes teaching. always asks what you think about things and enjoys when people participate.and participation is actually worth 30 points! Very kind and always answers questions. Assignments are not boring at all!
REALLY GREAT TEACHER. her class is really interesting and you can actually apply it to real life. i have learned so much from her and changed as an individual
Great Teacher - Always there to help and support her students - makes class very enjoyable and fun - brings in her own "real world" examples to bring the textbook to life - exams are fair and she doesn't try to trick you - tells you very clearly what to expect and wants you to do well
Dr. K is amazing! She is all about helping her students out. Always keeps me awake and always interesting. Loves class participation!(worth 30 points) Actually learns your name and calls you by it. Makes jokes to keep it fun! TAKE HER
Excellent teacher. Loved every day of that class. Dr. K is hilarious and give great lectures. She makes the material interesting (though I found it interesting to begin with). If you take this class, make sure you take it with her. Tests are fairly easy, and you only write one big paper.
honestly, NOT an easy A class. however, lectures are really interesting and fun, and dr k bring real life examples to class.
Amazing professor. Take this class and make sure you get her for your teacher. Obvious care for subject and students. Do the reading (not hard), tests are easy if you read and listen. Only asks for one big paper, not that bad. I loved this class. Dr. K is awesome!!
Dr. K is the most helpful and understanding professor I have ever had. She makes class fun and I looked forward to going unlike every other class! Oh and theres a pizza party at the end of the semester. Tests aren't bad if you do the readings. One big paper but its not bad! Take Dr. K, you won't regret it!!
Dr. K is Fabulous!!! Totally willing to help! She is hysterical too!! Definitely take her! One of the best professors I have had here at JMU!
Definitely one of the best professors I've had here at JMU. She really cares about her students and about the subject. She's hilarious and always makes class interesting. I'd highly recommend that you take her class.
Interesting
This class was by far my favorite class of the semester. This professor is truly amazing and really funny. If you have to take this course, this is the professor to do it with.
If you pay attention in her class and read the text book you should have no difficulty with this class. She is one of the best professors I have ever had and I want to take classes with her in the future.
Great professor! Great class! She is an absolutely amazing professor, but even more so, a great person. She genuinely cares about her students and will go out of her way to help each and everyone one of them. I suggest any class she is teaching. But you do have to read the textbook pretty closely.
Good teacher! You MUST attend class and make sure you write down EVERYTHING she says. The notes you write down and HER statistics are what's mostly on her tests. I received a B in the class but only because I did not read the text book as well. PARTICIPATE! This is a must. She does keep track of who participates in her class!! Funny teacher though!
Great teacher! Funny, keeps class interesting. Need to go to class and take GOOD lecture notes b/c this is what she uses for most tests! If you skim each chapter in the book and take good notes, guaranteed A/B!
She's a nice lady, but she definitely has her favorites. Write down everything says in class and memorize that for the tests and you're guaranteed an A. It's an okay class overall.
Great class, but she definitely picks favorites. It's really annoying but whatever. You actually do learn a lot, just write down EVERYTHING. Pretty interesting.
I would honestly take her class again if I had too. She is a very nice person and teacher which makes you want to come to class even more. READ the book because some questions are pulled out there. She really does care how well you do in the class unlike some teachers. Will definitely miss this class in the future :(
she's awesome!!!
She's a great teacher. The tests cover a lot of material, but if you read the book and take good notes you'll do well.
i had dr k for gpsych 160 GREAT class! go to classes and youll do fine, her tests arent hard if u pay attention in classes. shes funny too youll have fub. take her!
great teacher tons of fun, jus go to class and youll have fun and do great. one of the best classes ive taken this year
Great professor and great class. You MUST attend class and write down EVERYTHING she says because this makes up majority of her tests. Read the book too because there are some questions on the tests from the book. Very fair grader and really cares about her students doing well. It is an interesting class too. Make sure you participate!!
Dr. K is pretty Legit. Sure she has a kinda boring subject and most the kids in the class could care less about Life-Span... I know I didn't. but she's alright, making jokes and whatnot. Only kickback is that she is a stickler on the grades. Tough tests. But an OK class. Meh. Play on Playa
Davidson is a good teacher. She is very good at incorporating her life experiences into her teaching which adds a spark to GSPYC160. Tests are hard because of the massive amounts of material covered, genogram is an interesting assignment, and the application paper really is not that difficult. Would list her as the #2 GSPYC160 professor.
She has a sarcastic sense of humor which can be great when learning a boring topic and has a strong understanding of the information from all aspects. She is a therapist as well and integrates her experience into the lesson. Her tests are kinda hard if u dont pay attention but the questions come straight from the lecture and book.
AMAZING! She makes psych fun, and gives great examples so it's easy to understand. Amazing sense of humor, too. She's a therapist, so she has some great stories and real-life applications! She's fair and doesn't play favorites; however, she does make a sincere effort to get to know her students. You'll have to study, but she's the best teacher!
she's awesome! definitely recommend her!!!! make sure you read the sections she tells you to. she's really funny, too
doesn't get much better as far as professors are concerned. the class isn't easy but Dr. K makes every effort to make it fun and will try her best to help you grasp concepts. definitely recommend!
I absolutely love Dr. K. She really makes the material fun. She's extremely approachable and will help with anything.
Dr. K is amazing. She is one of the best teachers I've had ever. She is hilarious and helps you out in every way possible. I would definitely take her class if you have the chance, she wont dissapoint.
By far my favorite prof. she is hilarious and makes class fun. not the easiest class but as long as you pay attention and study a little you will do fine. She has tons of great stories and makes class very interesting. Take this class!
Dr. K is an awesome teacher! The class is hard because of the material, but Dr. K makes it interesting. Tests are not too bad as long as you read and take good notes! Take this class with Dr. K she will not let you down!
Fantastic and fair. Dr. K's humor and lecture style makes learning fun and interesting. As a bonus she's hot, hot, hot!!! She just makes you wanna get up and dance.
AMAZING teacher! Makes the material lots of fun and understandable. She seriously "only wants you to do well". Class attendance is not necessary but, class participation is. She tries to make you laugh every class. 4 tests and 2 papers (one observation and one all about yourself). Will still need to study but you will be prepared if in class!
Amazing. Her sense of humor is great. She makes the material interesting to students by adding material not in the book into lecture. You should get an A as long as you read the book, take notes (especially on statistics and studies), etc. Great teacher, extremely generous and helpful when it comes to grading! LOVE HER! Take the class with her!
Dr. K is a badass. She makes you want to come to class and it is really easy to pay attention to her. Make sure you take good notes, read what she tells you to read and study your notes and tests will be a breeze.
Dr. K is very fair. As long as you come to class and take her notes, skim the chapter, and pay attention in class you should do well. She's a therapist and has real life interesting stories. She has an upbeat personality. She will always be a few minutes late, don't get your hopes up that class is cancelled! Take Dr.K!
Dr K is the bomb. She is really fun to listen to and always has a good story to tell. She is very fair and wants you to do well. She wants you to laugh and talk in class. Dr K has a great sense of humor, though dry at times she is always hilarious. Take Dr K. It is totally worth it!
There's lots of specific questions on the tests about statistics and numbers but if you just study the book and her lectures it's pretty easy to get an A
Dr. K is great professor and great class. You MUST attend class and write down EVERYTHING she says because her tests are directly from lecture and book. Very fair grader and really cares about her students doing well. It is an interesting class too. Make sure you participate!!
Dr. K is extremely experienced in her area of study- she has lots of great stories that make you look forward to class. Attendance and note-taking is mandatory for an A. She is very approachable and encourages students to meet with her.
Dr. K was a fantastic teacher, she is really passionate about all the material that she is teaching, and even if she is not the class always maintained a fun attitude about it. By far one of my favorite GenEd's that I have had to take so far. Take her if you can!!
Dr K is a great teacher, go to class, pay attention, and read and youll do fine. ay ay ay ay ay chili peppers.
Dr. K is awesome. She is really funny and is really passionate about what she's teaching. She always has funny stories to tell us and as long as you read the book and go to class this class is not hard at all. Definitely take it!!!
professor davidson loved me because of all the witty comments my partner in crime and i made every day in class. she often rolled her eyes at us... and told us to be quiet... because we were really funny... NAH BUT FOR SERIOUS PROFESSOR DAVIDSON IS THE MOST BALLIN TEACHER AT JMU. TAKE THIS CLASS OR YOU WILL FOREVER RUE THE DAY YOU MISSED OUT.
Dr K is awesome! She's really funny and tries to keep it interesting. Go to class and read what to tell you and you'll do fine!
Dr. K is a great professor and class is never boring. She's also the hottest teacher at JMU, no joke.
An interesting class; I had to take this class but I enjoyed every minute I was there. Dr. K provides a fun and interactive environment for learning. Take good notes and read assigned sections and you will have no problem come test time. P.S. - She's a hottie fellas! I was definitely hot for teacher!
So hot! Her word banks are AMAZING!!! especially on her final exam! Best word bank creator at JMU. couldnt be more proud to be a student of Dr. K. I wish i could give more chili peppers.
dr. k ... more like dr. HOT
Dr. K is such a great teacher! She tells really interesting stories from her personal experience as a psychologist to supplement what you learn in the book. The class isn't hard if you take notes on the readings and pay attention in class. And she's super hot! :)
Dr K is a decent teacher. She is usually 10-15 mins late to class every day so you don't have to be there on time. The class is a process of lecture with notes, then a test. Some of the material was not so interesting but Dr. K has a lot of experience in the field. Avoid this class if your a sophomore, it will be full of immature freshman.
Dr. K has been my favorite professor here at JMU. She's totally awesome and I look forward to going to her class. Plus she is a rather attractive lady.
This professor makes the class interesting and shares many personal stories. Tests are straight forward and you can definitely do well if you read the book. Attendance is mandatory but that isn't a problem because the class is interesting. Overall a great professor.
Good professor.
I second the Dr. K ... more like Dr. HOT!
Great teacher! You need to study for the tests, but if you do good grades will come your way. She is hilarious! Have fun!
Dr. K is a really interesting professor. She has a lot of experience in her field, and so is able to supplement the learning with her personal experiences. She keeps class interesting, but you need to make sure you take notes. Tests are not difficult if you study.
AWWESOME teacher! not an easy A but not too hard if you study. Very personable and makes learning fun!
She's Smokin'!! Definitely take, she's awesome!
She is an awesome teacher!!
Awesome! Take her. You won't regret it. Go to class, do the readings and participate.
Dr. K is a really good teacher, she really knows her stuff and likes to make class fun..she has a great sense of humor and the tests are only difficult if you dont read the material and don't go to class...definately take her!
Dr. K's the best teacher that i have had at JMU so far!
Dr. K is the best psych professor at JMU. Her tests are hard but if you read you are good. Had a great time going to class. Just for the final know about her cousin clark gable from gone from the wind- CG She is a total hottie I wish i could have put more peppers!!!!
Great teacher who knows her stuff with great academic integrity! Take her class!!
This was my favorite teacher of my freshman year. You must have the book and use it but she knows how to relate the information to on a personal basis to give you great examples. Out of all my classes this is the one I went to everyday. As long as you do the work, you will easily get an A. Love her! Take this class!!!!
BY FAR my favorite class and the best professor I have ever had. Insanely good at teaching the subject in a way that is interesting and makes sense. Looked forward to class every day and really enjoyed the material (and I had never taken a psyc class before). Made me want to continue taking classes like this. TAKE IT TAKE IT TAKE IT
This is by the far the best class you could take at JMU. She is so down to earth and makes the class entertaining! TAKE THIS CLASS! You will not regret it!
Dr. K was fantastic! She is very proud of her work and knows what she is talking about. I learned so much in this class it's insane, and I'm a psych major, so that's really saying something. I highly recommend her, even if you currently can't stand even the thought of psychology.
Dr. K is an incredible woman, not to mention an incredible professor. I absolutely loved going to each class. Lectures are always very fun and interesting, so easy to pay attention. I highly recommend her, I learned so much in this class, and Dr. K is just such an awesome, admirable, great person. and this class is awesome. take it
Dr. K is the most amazing teacher I have ever had. I was taking this class to fulfill general education requirements, but enjoyed her class so much, that I am considering switching my major. This class is not easy, you need to show up, and you need to read the book, but if you study, you will do fine. She puts a fun spin on psychology.
Dr. K was a great teacher. I loved going to class everyday. She was clear with what she wanted and she had a good look into psych. Her class makes me want to take other psych classes. Lectures were funny and her tests were very fair. You could tell she had a passion for the subject. Take her!
This is quite possibly the best class I have taken at JMU and Dr. K. is such a great teacher. You will learn so much by taking this class and you will have fun doing it. The lectures are hilarious and Dr. K. is really good at gaining the classes attention by her sense of humor. Take this class!
By FAR my favorite class of the semester! She clearly stated how your grade was determined in the syllabus, so if you didn't get the grade you felt you deserved then tough, because you didn't work hard enough for it! Would recomend this class to everyone!!!
Dr. K is way awesome! Take good notes and read the chapters and you will do fine in her class. HOT! HOT! HOT! ;P She is willing to work with you if you want to do well but are struggling - I went into the semester not liking psychology, but she made the class enjoyable and talked about how it applied to life. Loved her class - take her!!!
Dr. K is excellent. I took GPSYC just to fill requirements, but I ended up enjoying the class so much! She has a great sense of humor, and that made her lectures that much better. It is very important to read the chapter and take good notes, but her lectures are really interesting and funny, so taking notes is not a problem. Definitely take her!
She is very nice and easy to get a good grade in if you attend class.
Very Nice professor. Lectures are very interesting and funny. It is important to read the chapters before class and before a test. Not hard to get good grades, if you attend class.
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!!
I love her! shes really funny and her lectures are always interesting. not hard to do well in her class as long as you attend class and take notes. mostly everything on the tests is from class. shes one of my favorite professors i have taken and would take her again. TAKE THIS CLASS!
HIlarious. Take her!! Class is interesting and you'll find yourself wanting to go because she's so freaking funny. Not hard to get a good grade as long as you go to class, take notes, and study a little.
Dr. K is a great professor! She's knowledgeable of the subject matter and hilarious.
Davidson is very funny and keeps the class interesting. Need to take notes in class and attending class helps you on tests. Very likeable.
Davidson is an awesome professor, I would highly recommend taking her class if you have to take this course. She's really laid back and uses personal stories to make things more interesting.
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.
Dr. K's class is one of the best classes I've taken at JMU. She is hilarious and very knowledgeable about the subject, making you want to go to class to hear her stories and the interesting subjects. Class isn't too hard, but you definitely have to go to class and take notes! TAKE HER!!!
TAKE HERRR!!!!! Totally worth it! I am not a psych major but was completely entertained and interested every class! Participate, study, and do the one paper you have to write by the guidelines and your guaranteed an A! One of my fav professors!
She's awesome and really funny. Fair grader and assigns a tolerable workload. I really enjoyed the class having her as a teacher. TAKE THIS CLASS ASAP!
TAKE HER ASAP!
She is awesome! DEF TAKE HER! She is so funny and makes every class interesting and fun. TAKE THIS CLASS
Dr. K is really great as a person and professor. She really knows her stuff and can help apply the material to real life situations with ease. Take her if you enjoy a good laugh and want to learn. Go to class, take notes, study, and you will succeed. The material isn't hard but there is a good amount of it. Be a good student and this class is easy
Psych of sexual diversity seminar. What an eye-opening, amazing class this was! You will learn a TON with Dr. K-- she is passionate, helpful, and truly listens to what you have to say. This class pushed me to think outside the box and was full of guest speakers and thoughtful discussions. It is so relevant to our times... we all need to take it!!
Great class! Dr. K (yes thats what students are told to call her), is so funny! Take notes during class, most questions on tests are from discussions. 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!
She is GREAT! Definitely worth going to class! She is funny and won't bore you! Take Good notes and read the text book and you wil do great!!!
Dr. K is my absolute FAVORITE professor! She makes the class fun and entertaining! Super nice, makes sure she knows everyone by name, isn't afraid to hold back on flat out hilarious jokes. Her tests are easy as long as you take good lecture notes :) The paper is easy as long as you follow her guidelines. Great class with a even greater prof :)
This class is not challenging if you read the book and take food notes in class. Professor Davidson is really funny and she tries to make class as interesting as possible. Overall good course.
Dr. K is one of the best professors I've had. She makes learning fun again. Highly Recommend her!
(Dr. K) is an AWESOME teacher! DEFF take her class! Should be an easy A if you read and follow along in class. She is funny and brings in very interesting facts. Highly highly recommend her! (and taking Psych 101 the same semester if you need both..material completely overlaps eachother)
Dr. K is AWESOME! I loved having her as a professor and actually enjoyed going to her class to learn. She brought in outside facts and stories that made class fun. She is also has a good sense of humor:) I'm deff gonna miss her class. If you take good notes from her lectures and so some reading, you should have a guaranteed good grade!
By far my favorite professor. She's soo funny and makes the class enjoyable. I actually looked forward to going! Just take good notes and study and you'll be sure to get an A! Definitely recommend!
great professor
Great teacher. Class is not hard and she makes it interesting. Dry humor but really funny at times. really nice professor and very fair grader. Take her class!
TAKE HER!!!! If you take notes and study you will be absolutely fine! She brings in a lot of outside material that is interesting, and makes the class less boring. She has a sense of humor too! Loved going to class, take her you won't regret it!
Soooo great! Take this class!! Dr. K reminds me somewhat of Amy Poehler (looks and humor). Class is mostly lecture but if you attend and take good notes you'll do splendidly on the tests.
Dr. K's class is so interesting! I truly looked forward to coming to this class. She brings in outside information to supplement the material covered from the text. Just do the work and readings and you should get a B in the class.
Always go to class, take notes, and read the book and you will be fine.
Awesome professor! Lots of notes, but the classs is really interesting. Definitely take it with her, she is really funny.
Amazing professor! She knows what she's talking about and she will make you want to attend every class! Pay attention in class and read the book and you will do great.
TAKE HER! Best teacher i have had all semester. Her lectures were always interesting and she is very funny. the class is very interactive and i learned so much!
She is so awesome and makes coming to class worth it. I don't even like psych but I loved that class. She also appreciates students who can have fun. Great teacher.
Incredibly generous with final grades. Probably should have had a C+ and she threw me a B.
Really interesting and funny, made it easy to go to class!
Pretty awesome teacher. Made class interesting. Tests aren't too bad, either. I would recommend this class if needed. She's very lenient with grading, as well.
You should definitely take her for this class. Very down to earth, extremely knowledgeable and so funny! I actually looked forward to coming to this class.
Dr. Davidson is very helpful and very clear in what she uses for the tests. The tests are all of the same format. Just go to class and take notes and occassionally look at the book and you'll be fine. There is 1 observation paper that is EASY and a take home quiz. TAKE HER!
Took her spring of my freshman year, have not had a better professor since, and I'm about to be a senior! Really funny, wants you to understand the material, will repeat lecture material if she is going too fast, always willing to talk after class. Exams were not hard at all and straight from lecture notes. TAKE HER!!!
She's great. Extremely sarcastic person who can make you laugh every single class. Exams come straight from lecture and no final. Enjoyed her class very much!
She is great! Extremely funny and very clear with what is on the tests. Test are straight from the lecture and i didn't even buy the book. Definitely take this class.
She is so much fun! Her tests are pretty easy most coming from lecture but some coming from the book. If she thinks yall, don't read she'll make a test all from the book. There are 4 tests, one quiz, grade for participation over the whole semester, and we were supposed to have a paper but she didn't make us do it! Fun, easy, and interesting!
Honors Psychology of Sexual Diversity. GREAT class. Definitely take if you can. Covered a variety of really relevant, interesting topics related to LGBTQ issues. Really makes you think. And, wonderful professor! Great to talk to, very straightforward, and funny.
Not as good as this site makes her out to be. Made tests a little more tricky than they had to be. Also, make sure to actually participate in class on a regular basis, because it makes up a good bit of your grade.
Great sense of humor! She always tries to make the class laugh. It's all lecture style and she gives a TON of notes. I recommend taking notes on your laptop, it's so much easier. Tests are fine as long as you study your class notes and skim the chapters in the book.
Hilarious lady! Class is very interesting and she knows what she's talking about. You HAVE to read. Test are kind of tough, but she expects a lot out of her students. Would take again.
Dr. K is super funny which makes for interesting lectures. She lectures on a lot of things not in the book and that's mainly what she bases her tests on, but you still need to read to understand some of the material. She's an actual therapist so she has a lot of interesting stories. It's not an easy A, more like a semi-easy B
She's extremely sarcastic, which made the class a lot funnier. Only 4 tests and a quiz. Attendance wasn't mandatory but the class size was small enough that she knew when you weren't there. Throws in random extra credit assignments on days not a lot of people are in class. Overall, LOVED her.
She lectures the entire class time, but they are very interesting. However, her tests are really hard. They are mostly from the lectures, but partly from the textbook. You'll need to spend a lot of time studying, and it helps a lot to be a good test taker.
Dr. K is one of the best professors I've ever taken! She tries hard to make a dull topic really interesting and she's super funny. You do have to go to class though, it's not an easy A. Also, her tests were a bit tricky and you really need to read the book! I would definitely take her again!
Professor K was pretty awesome! She is VERY sarcastic and at first comes across as kind of disinterested and bored. However her lectures are entertaining and kept me engaged. Attendance in optional, but participation in lectures is worth almost half your grade so you better show up. 4 tests, 1 quiz, a pop quiz, and an experiment.
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. Take a different counseling prof if you can!!!!!!
Dr. K is the best. Her lectures are interesting and she has a sense of humor. Test questions come straight from her lecture. You don't have to read the textbook. There are no homework's and only 4 exams. I would take it again.
Awesome person! Definetly smart and hilarious. Also works as a psychologist and has a lot of insightful stories. But her tests are very hard!
HARD. The strictest grader I've ever had. The book will be read cover to cover and there are pop quizzes and intense papers. She is nice and fun but the relaxed nature of class will lull you into forgetting your slipping grades.
I do not recommend this professor!! Though the material was interesting and she was a fairly decent lecturer, she was VERY narrow-minded. If your opinions differed from hers, you knew about it very quickly.
Expected an A since I got basically the highest test scores on each and every test but I got a 040 in the participation category which killed my grade. She is serious about participation counting. Still kind of in shock about my grade.
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.
Professor Davidson is honestly the best. Shes sarcastic, super sweet, and her class is a breeze. Four multiple choice tests, all under 30 questions. If you read the textbook and write down what she says in the lecture its an Easy A. Even if you skim the textbooks and just pay attention to her lectures your looking at an A or a B. EASIEST CLASS EVER
Dr. K was an awesome professor. Definitely expects you to put in the work and she won't let you get by with just doing the minimal work. She gives some of the best feedback on papers I've ever gotten and this wasn't a writing or english course. She poses tough questions that make you think -- her class definitely changed my mindset, take her!
This was the psychology of sexual diversity-extremely interesting. I actually wanted to go to class. She does assign weekly quizzes and long papers but the work is extremely manageable. Must read for every class so you are able to take quizzes and participate. Would definitely take again.
By far my favorite professor I've had so far. Lots of videos/ movie days with almost no homework, and just 4 short essays and a small group project at the end of the semester. She'll occasionally assign books but most of the time you can just wing it and still sound like you know what you're talking about. TAKE HER!!!
I love Dr. K! Her class consists of reading the assigned chapters, in class lectures and four non-cumulative exams. Her exams are not easy A's however if you actually study an A is obtainable. She is a very friendly, helpful professor and her lectures are easy to follow. I would definitely take her again!
Dr. K is FANTASTIC! Really down to Earth and gives great (and hilarious) lectures. There are 4 tests that can be difficult if you don't attend class and/or don't read the book. All the tests though are non-cumulative and multiple choice. PARTICIPATION MATTERS - she's big on discussion. Engage in class and you should do fine! Definitely recommended!
