She is such a great prof - her notes were really thorough and she explained everything really well. Each class in small groups she had us do a 15 min review of the previous class so concepts really stuck. Midterms & final were fair - no surprises. I would definitely take a class from her again! :)

Midterms were fairly easy, but probably the worst professor i have had in my 2 years of university so far. She is so boring in class-she just reads her slides (which get put up on webct at least)and adds nothing to them. I found not going to class was just as helpful as going. 80 average and didnt go to any class in oct, or nov other than midterms.

She is a pretty good teacher. Her lectures are based on the slides, but she expands on them wheich is good. She is pretty charasmatic which makes sitting there less boring, but I won't lie, she's really good looking, so that's what i focused on more than anything else...didn't listen that much because of it...but overall she's a good teacher.

Awesome prof, has well made slides that follow the textbook to a tee so you can look further into things if you didn't understand them.(otherwise you don't need the textbook) If you go to class studying takes minimal time. Fair tests that cover what was talked about in class, no tricks. 90% for minimal studying if you go to class

Don't bother going to class - you can get word for word out of your textbook - exams are random & usually 10 to 15 questions we have never covered in the notes - however, my friend discovered the ones we had never been taught were ones from the psych quiz code that you get w/ new textbook, and i assume, also found IN the textbook = random questions

I really enjoyed taking psych from her. Tests were mostly multiple choice and though some questions were tricky, I studied hard and found it easy to get a very good mark. Make sure you read the textbook when you study, as there are test questions based on material in it that wasn't covered in lecture.

The material is easy to understand but it's hard to get a good mark because it's a class with 2 midterms and 1 final with the majority being multiple choice. It's hard to focus during lectures because of the class size and somewhat boring material. But, if you are looking for one more class, this is a good choice because not much work is needed.

Lectures are long and can drag on. She usually rushes because her PowerPoints are too long and she doesn't have enough time to finish them.

She seems quite knowledgeable. 2 Midterms and a final comprised of multiple choice and short answer. She hints a lot of questions in class but those questions seem to make her exams a little bit longer then other profs. She also includes a good amount of info only in lecture so its beneficial to attend. Other teachers may have an easier class.

memorizing what is on the PPT is the key to success. Some multiple choice questions will be specific to the textbook, but it's not worth reading it. She will reference questions that will be on the exam, therefore make sure you ask a friend who shows up to lectures. 2 MT, 1F. Mainly MC which are tricky, long/short easy answer if you memorize PPT

Worst lecturer I've had in my three years of university experience. This was an online course with recorded lectures where she simply read off the slides, which wouldn't have been as much of an issue if she didn't spend half of the lecture saying 'umm','ah' or simply mumbling incomprehensibly. The content itself wasn't all that difficult.

Abnormal Psych involves watching a pre-recorded boring mini lecture between 5 and 10 lectures, 4 to 20 mins long. It is tough to understand her sometimes because she mumbles, and it sounds like half of them were recorded in an airplane. You will have 3 midterms.
