This professor is very confusing, not helpful, and her tests are ambiguous. She is rigid in her grading, tests,with some ridiculous requirements(such as requiring you to bring transcripts proving your psychology classes.)
TERRIBLE TEACHER STAY AWAY
No Comments
I can't believe that the four raters on this woman can't even write properly--no wonder you did poorly.Yes,she is tough, but very fair and absolutely brilliant in her organization. And by the way, she has an undergrad,Masters + PhD. Duh! Try reading!
hard, ambiguous
Had Anderson for 2 classes and busted my hump to get a "C" (and I'm a Dean's list student). Her lectures are unstructured and irrelevant to the exams. She needs to get off her soapbox...
JUS PLAIN HARD
No Comments
Good class...thank God for someone liberal and not Texas-stodgy! Hard, structured for independent thinkers...no idiots apply!
Thumbs down, she is too full of herself. She tries to teach on a graduate school level. Granted Psych and the Law is an upper level class, she is off the chain.
Want to screw up your GPA? Go ahead, take this class. :-(
She is very hard, but if you go to class, read, and pay attention to the lectures you will do good. I made a high A in her Psy of Women class. You learn a lot in her class. She is a great teacher, very organized, and very knowledgable.
Very unclear, lectures do not follow the test or the book, lacks class organization
Would not reccomend this professor, even though my grade was better than average. Too liberal and views anyone who does not feel the same as inferior or crazy. The day of the Hippie is over!!!!!
Great, hard, intense, high expectation...just what UHD is lacking in faculty! These losers just don't like her because they can't pass easily. She is a REAL teacher.
Incredible..it's about time for a REAL professor at this school. she's intelligent, intense, has high expectations and happens to be very sexy.
Hard class, but if you read the book, you're good to go. Lectures somewhat from the book. Interesting view points, will open anybody's mind! I barely made an A. Have to study for this one!
She is tough, but if you actually think critically you will do well. I ended up with a good grade, but not without kick@$$ work!!
Very good professor, I've taken her for lower and upper-level courses. She likes her students to think, and I enjoy that.
Great professor. Her class is not hard if you actually read and go to class! If you want a professor that actually challenges the way you think and presents new ideas- This is the professor to take.
Very interesting class! I really enjoyed her class. She is very organized and she involves the class in great discussions. I recommend her for any psychology class.
I was very disapointed with Dr. Anderson. She was a difficult teacher who does NOT try and work with you. What you get is what you get in that class no matter how hard you try and study. I will not take her again, nor will I recommend her to anyone.
This professor is sooo obsessed with psychology; she expects students to learn every single detail in the book. She doesn't give test reviews, curves or extra credit. Her exams are VERY difficult. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. I read all the material in the book and still got only a C.
the best professor I have ever had. Not easy but very responsive, energetic, and funny. I changed majors cuz of her!
This is an awesome professor. She's the only psych prof who considers issues of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity. I became a psych major because of her classes. However, I was disappointed in the other psych profs since I took her classes.
This lady is CRAZY, As a senior I made a freaking C in her class. I don't know what she wants, but she is in love with Pyschology,its not my major and i just couldn't get into the stupid lectures.
I couldn't stan this woman. She is so obsessed with lesbians and gay marriages and race. She wasn't helpful at all. She always had a sacrastic remark in class. Her tests were hard. When you see her name look for another class.
this lady is definitely obssesed with lesbian and gay issues. and she was rude to one of my classmates when she came in talking with a cell phone, the classmate was about to put down the phone, but anderson still ****ed her out in front of everyone. THAT IS NOT PROFESSIONAL LADY!!! she doesnt give a damn if you pass or not!
Dr. Anderson was very interestng, it was definetly not a dull class. However I would warn you that if you are looking for an easy class this is not it. Her test are very difficult.
She doesn't care whether you work hard or not. Even if you try it, if she doesn't like you, you won't make it. She messed up my GPA.
the class was a little tough, but it was worth it.
She's challenging, but she's one amazing professor. She doesn't give curves or extra credit (which can be frustrating), but after finishing her class you leave knowing you actually learned something!
Social Psychology is the best class I have ever taken. The professor is brilliant and funny.
She's not and easy professor, but she has a lot of opinions. I didn't necessarily agree with all of them but I liked the fact that she likes what she does.
I have had 3 classes with her. Yes, she is hard but changes the way we view people and the world. She pushes you to think outside the box. She is very clear on what she expects, few can handle that. So if you are looking to hand in BS for assignments as well as crave the easy exam and still receive an A.....wrong teacher.
I agree with every rating, her class was very stimulating intellectually, it was worth it.
One of the best profs I have ever taken. She inspires students to do their best.
One of the best teachers at UHD. Funny, interesting and challenging. Everyone should take Social psychology.
Her class is really eye-opening. She presents an unbiased view of race and gender issues. This class should be required for all students!
Dr. Anderson is hands down the best professor at this school. Her class is not easy. You have to do the work. However, you will learn, and you will be glad in the end that you took her class. She is knowledgeable about her subject matter, and enthusiastic about teaching it. She is funny as well as interesting.
Dr Anderson is a brilliant person! When I first entered her class, I was a bit intimidated by the ratings I had read. Yes, You definitely have to study....but she makes class so interesting, you cant help but want to learn more and interact. Read your book and take good notes. You should be fine. She is thorough in what she wants on the tests. Anyo
I love her!!!!!!!!! She's very interesting and time goes by really fast in her class. She cares about students.
Alot of reading. Do NOT take this class if you have many other hard classes. This is not easy. What you go over in class is NOT necessarily what is on the test. Essays make up most of the test, but she usually explains what the essays will be on. She is a hard grader and my only low grade in all of my 16 hrs. Take if you only need 1 or 2 classes.
This class changed my life, literally! She is very knowledgeable. Come to class prepared and take notes. Lots of reading but you wont be sorry you did.
She was mean. I always came to class prepared and it was like she despised me for that.
She loves it when you've not only read the assignment, but when you can talk about it. This class should be mandatory, what you learn about the world, from how you were raised (or how you're raising your kids) to the impact of advertising, to the propoganda we're fed by the govt., is amazing. Don't go through life without this info!
2 BOOKS req'd!hella reading 2 She strongly urges that you read, she could have been a little more concise about what's on the tests. I would e-mail her/stop by her office, and she still wouldn't give. I don't regret having crossed paths w/ her, just would've preferred to in a non-academia setting, this is my gpa were talkin about here!!
This professor sucks, if you have to take this class don't take her..shes not helpful, makes this class hard and dificult. By first exam half of class had dropped the class I got a C in class but worked my but off.
Great class and great teacher. She is extremely hard and requires you to read pretty much the entire textbook,but it is worth it. I learned alot from this class. If you expect an easy A do not take it. I worked my butt off and read every single page in the book and studied and I still got a C. If you are willing to work take this class.
This is a true college level course. Expect to KNOW the material...not just memorization. I thought she was great and enjoyed the material. But...if your looking to breeze through...this is not the class for you.
Best professor at the school. Funny and smart.
Anderson is awesome. She talks about current events and how they relate to psychology. This is probably the most rewarding class I have ever taken.
I have taken three different classes with Dr. Anderson. She is the most inspiring professors I have ever taken a class from. She deals with controversial issues in a fair and objective manner. Everyone should take psychology in prejudice.
Challenging teacher but very inspiring.
she is an straight to the point professor
On the 9th day, after a day of rest, God created Dr. Anderson. This professor walks on water. I will take every single class she has.
Definitely the best professor I've taken at UHD. The best on race and gender issues by far. Her classes are not for wusses.
I truly enjoyed Women's Psych with Dr. Anderson. Every person I met constantly said that she was SO hard and I would really struggle trying to get a good grade and maintaining a full time job, but as long as you READ the book you will get a good grade. She is very helpful and makes the clas very interesting.
Ohmigosh... a college prof who expects her students to do college level work???? that's unheard of! If you want the remedial level work then go back to ITT Tech and get a certificate. If you want a COLLEGE education then take Dr. Anderson. She's amazing and I'm sad I cant fit any of her other classes in next semester.
Her narrow mind interferes with her abilities as a professor. Sometimes she resorted to rather shoddy scholarship in order to advance her politics. The textbook was filled with fluff. Overall, this class isn't worth your time, at least if it is taught by her. If you must take her, check your brain at the door and you'll be alright.
interesting, passionate about subject matter.Tough enough to learn something. Good Prof.
She is a wonderful professor... made a boring topic fun. She's funny and she really encouraged me to continue in school when I felt like giving up. Her class isn't the easiest class but in the end when you see the grade... u actually fill like you EARNED it. If you're lazy...not pick her. If you want a challenge...she's great! And fun! And funny!
I enjoyed the class and the insturctor. Dr. Anderson made the class a challenge. Yes, you have to study but I actually learned in this class and looked forward to going to class. I would take her again.
Amazing class. She makes any topic interesting. LOVE HER!!
The best professor I have had in college. I will probably take every class she has.
I love Dr. Anderson's classes. She is the best!
Not a hard class if you do your reading and pay attention to the questions she gives you. Class is better if you answer her questions. Multi-choice and essay tests. Very passionate about the subject matter, but can come across as offensive if you don't agree with her politics. I would take her again for another class.
Definitely an entertaining lecturer. Made me think different about a lot of things. You can get a good grade if you read and come to class.
Definately a type A personality otherwise she is a great teacher. PLEASE do not take this class if you dont plan to regularly attend or read and STUDY the assigned material. YOU WILL FAIL if you dont. She is a good teacher who is passionate about what she is teaching.
Dr. Anderson is the best psychology professor I have had. I recommend her to any student, maybe not the ones who don't have books! Rocks my world!
I Think Dr. Anderson is a wonderful INSTRUCTOR! She is extremly helpful, understanding, and has a love for teaching. Her class is VERY interesting, comical, not boring at all, she holds your attention quiet well. Although you MUST read and take notes for all of her test! this is the only way you will pass! I plan on taking her class next semester.
This teacher was a good but the amount of material that was given was so much that you better take this class with nothing but electives. I studied very hard for this class but there was so much material that it is almost impossible to know what the test will cover. She also makes you feel kind of stupid and if you a guy in her class WACTCH OUT.
TEACHER AVOID TAVOID THIS TEACHER AVOID THISHIS TEACHER AVOID THIS TEACHER AVOID THIS TEACHER AVOID THIS TEACHER TEACHER AVOID TAVOID THIS TEACHER AVOID THISHIS TEACHER AVOID THIS TEACHER AVOID THIS TEACHER AVOID THIS TEACHER I JUST RATED HER AND I DON THINK IT GOT THE POINT OF WHAT I WAS SO SAYING SO THIS IS MORE CLEAR!
Awful....she is not a happy person, she know what she knows because she has taught this class for ever....I am not impressed with her. She snobs her students...Not a good teacher. Dump her.
Dr. Anderson is an amazing instructor. She is smart, funny and cares about students. She gives you a good way to think about the world. Very conscientious.
TAKE EVERY CLASS SHE TEACHES. This is the best professor I have had at UH-D. BRILLIANT, AWESOME AMAZING.
She is by far the best professor I have ever had. She is very passionate about teaching and is very understanding.I love that she doesn't show favoritism!The essays on the exams are taken from the study questions which she thoroughly explains.If you go to class and pay attn you will at least get a B.Dont be afraid to ask for help!
The Law and Psychology class rocks! She's funny and smart and really cares about students to learn the topics.
Great professor and interesting topic. Highly recommend Social Psychology.
Please by all means, AVOID this prof. She looks down upon students, replies in sarcasm. She is a second NANCY GRACE (cnn) UGH! She has troubled my GPA. Her tests are EVERYTHING except material that has been covered. Yeah, you read that correctly, so basically tests are everything that was NOT covered in class. She should not be teaching!!
Her law and psychology course is hard but she's great and supportive and smart.
Honestly this class is hard but Dr. Anderson is a good professor. She will challenge you and make you work for the grade.four very challenging exams plus a 10 page final paper.I like the class and would recommend it to those who dont mind working.attendance is a must since it counts towards your grade
LOVE DR. ANDERSON!!!! yes, you have to read a lot but everything is straightforward. She's challenging but helpful.
Dr. Anderson is the best professor in the psychology department. She is a good speaker, has good books, and cares about student learning. I have taken 3 of her classes. I changed my work schedule so I could take a fourth one with her.
HORRIBLE. RUDE. AND SELF CENTERED! I HAD TO DROP BECAUSE SHE INSISTED ON FAILING ME BECAUSE I WAS QUIET. UGH...JUST RUDE!
all you people are crazy. she is a great teacher you just have to be smart to pass her tests. read carefully and attentively. thats all it takes. her tests do cover the material she hands out. plus shes super freaking hot!
One of the worst professors I have ever taken, and I've taken quite a few! The best way to characterize her is extreme feminist, leftwing liberal that loves to pass off her personal beliefs in class, especially on the tests! If you want to read her book about feminism and listen about her political beliefs, take her class.
all these ppl are crazy. don't be a WHINER if you can't keep up with COLLEGE LEVEL COURSES. get a grip you are in a University this is not saved by the bell college years. i am a full time student working nights and passed with a B. she is a GREAT teacher, readings/attendance mandatory. very professional/hilarious, NICE, and pretty!
Great professor. Makes the subjects interesting and entertaining. I really recommend Dr. Anderson's Social Psychology class.
Dr. Anderson was great. I enjoyed this class and she kept me interested. Attendance is a must as it counts fiestas your grade and helps on the exams. All in all read the material and participate in class and you'll be fine.
Dr. Anderson' an oustanding lecturer. Her classes are fun and interesting. Very engaging and inspiring.
thoroughly enjoyed this class... very applicable to the real world.
This teacher isnt hard, but she isnt easy. YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK. After every class you have to read for the next class. even if they are 50+ pages. You really have to work for it. Her test normally do not cover the lecture, but what is in the book.
Dr. Anderson is a fantastic teacher. She is not easy and expects a lot from her students, especially in upper level classes. I highly recommend her IF you are willing to put forth effort and work hard in the class.
I highly recommend this professor. You will learn a lot!
I've taken 2 classes from Dr. Anderson, and never made below a 94 on any of her exams. She'll clarify things for you if you ask her to, but don't expect her to hand you the exam questions and give you an easy A. Those of us who take school seriously know she's one of the best professors at UHD. I truly enjoy attending her class.
Dr. Anderson is really passionate about social Psychology. She cares about you learning it.
GREAT PROFESSOR! If you will learn anything at UHD that will change the way you think, it will be for Dr Anderson. He test are not easy but if you read you will make A's FYI* If you take this class be prepared to discuss topics, she does not like when students do not talk. I recommend you read her book Benign Bigotry it will open your eyes
Brilliant professor. Not an easy class because there's a lot of legal cases but an outstanding class.
Go to class, read the book, pay attention to the lectures and you'll do great.
Her lectures are not very helpful, you MUST read the book and highlight!! Do not fall behind or beware, exam questions are not tough if you actually STUDY but there are some trivial questions which can/will hurt your grade, some essay questions. Can be rude, interesting material but NOT an easy class, it's college get over it.
GPA went low thanks to this class. Be prepare to read a lottttt aswell as the online chapters!!!!!Proffesor is rude at times.
AWESOME INSTRUCTOR.
Do not take this woman, not only are you expected to read her mind if you want to be graded on a scale that will take points away from your grade go for it! she gives practice quizes that are not relivent to test, you have to read and then guess what she will ask on the test, she uses stange grading scale that takes points away, feminist hot MESS
Oh My God! What a horrible Prof. Not only does she have an agenda, to promote her feminist thoughts onto her class, but she acts as if these are no A students, no matter how hard you study she will put trick questions with two correct answer5s and you just have to guess which one she will say is right, she grades downward with some strange system
Students b-ware! I have NEVER encountered such a prof.She does some weird grading I got 93% on my test and all the essay points, but recieved a grade of 89% GO FIGURE! She Really believes that men and women are the same!n every aspect she teaches HER Agenda and leaves little rm 4 any other opinions, even if she's wrong, I guess 2 her there r no A's
I don't see how you can take a course at a University called Psychology of Women, and retain the misogynistic attitudes in the entries below. If you take Dr. Anderson for this class, you will have some preconceived notions of gender challenged. Unlike many of the professors at UHD Dr. Anderson does not "Phone it in". She is tough, & professional.
Excellent professor. Her classes are interesting and she is very enthusiastic.
Excellent professor. Take the Psyhology of Law class.
Social Psychology: Read the material, take notes in the lecture and participate. She is thoughtful, enthusiastic and engaging as an instructor. If you are actually in college to learn (what a concept!) I highly recommend her for this class.
READING is a MUST!! Can?t pass by simply attending class. Attending class is a must but if you miss one or two classes you should be fine. She is a wonderful instructor who is very passionate and knowledgeable of the subject matter. Take this class if you truly want to learn & apply it in every day life. If you want an easy A this is NOT the class!
Outstanding professor. You will learn a lot in her class. I changed my major because of her social psychology class.
This is an awesome professor. I love Dr. Anderson. You do have to study a lot in her class. Every student should take social psychology!
I was not going to take her bc of the bad comments but i did. Dr. A is excellent she is passionate about the course. Reading is required, also participate, leave your cell in your bag and you'll do fine.I will say she is quite anal and feminist in her views but other than that she's great. She teaches it like an upper level but fail its bc of you
take her if u can pass her 3 test with no extra credit and read the book plus articles she puts on blackboard and take the test a month later over 5 chapters NO EXTRA CREDIT dropped her like ahot plate
You will learn a ton from Dr. Anderson. She is one of the best professors I have had at UH-D. Take her social psychology class.
Awesome professor. Take her psychology and the legal system class. It's hard but worth it.
This was a very difficult class and I would highly reccomend running away and never looking back. The teacher makes the class overly difficult. She goes over a chapter a class, gives no test reviews and a 10 page paper is required at the end of the semester. Definitely not for the lazy students.
Taking Dr. Anderson for research methods right now. Very clear and helpful.
It is a class you must read for and study but it is well worth the reading. Her text book that she wrote is easy to understand and very itneresting.
I absolutly would recommend her to anyone. She is an AMAZING instuctor and is scarcastic as hell. She keeps you entertained and as long as you do your readings and know your topics you will do fine. Not a class for someone who wants to be lazy and have everything handed to them.
you have to study in this class but it's worth it. you will learn a lot. Dr. Andersen is awesome.
Notice how there are several poor comments followed by a few positive ratings? I can only imagine that she created those herself, or had friends write them. Her class was ridiculous. She was very rude, and not at all helpful. All comments regarding how she grades are correct as well. She appears bitter, and is an unfair teacher.
Do not take this professor. She is very rude to her students! The class is very interesting, and her book is great, but she is terrible! Read her book, but do not take her class!! Find a teacher that is fair, and takes time to listen their students.
DO NOT TAKE HER! She is NOT Helpful at helping students understand the different ideas described in the textbook by Aronson. You MUST READ the Chapters to even understand what she is talking about in class. She takes Attendance which is 10% of your grade. There was only 4 tests & each covered 6-8 Chapters which had Essay questions on them.
She wanted Students to Basically MEMORIZE what the Author Aronson said about every Idea & Theory. She was NOT Helpful at describing & Took Attendance daily. Her Tests were Difficult ESPECIALLY if you DO NOT Memorize the TEXTBOOK. If you ask her ANY Questions about what was discussed in class She will CONFUSE you EVEN more. RUN AWAY, DONT TAKE HER!!
Best class I had at UH-D. This instructor is awesome.
Dr. Anderson is the best instructor for Psychology of Women. Super funny and really cares that students learn.
Take her psychology of prejudice class. I want to marry this professor.
I took Dr. Anderson's psychology and prejudice class in the summer. It's fast-paced but it was an awesome class. She kept our attention for 2 hours!
No matter what your major, take Dr. Anderson's Social Psychology class. The most interesting and applicable to life class I've taken.
She said this class would change my life. she was right.
Well don't take her if you are not going to work for your grade. 4 Test essays were graded hard. the class itself was fun but didn't help you on the test you would have to really read that book.I worked my butt off and got a "C" at the end I kind of gave up. Love/hate her she made me a stronger student.
Lectures and exams are full of political innuendo instead of general social psychology If you are late she will lock you out of class, and even make eye contact/ignore you through the window. She makes you put a namecard on your desk at all times. You will be treated like a child. DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU WANT A POSITIVE/LASTING LEARNING EXPERIENCE,
Anderson is the BOMB!!!! its ashame there are not other teachers like her! She gets involved with the students and lecture and when i say involved i mean on tables and desks and getting serious about the subject of topic. I love this lady and she LOVES what she does
Took her for Social Psy and Law and Psy,She is a Great professor,but her class are HARD,you cant be lazy you have to read!!!Someone stated above that she made them a stronger student,and I have to agree!The material is very interesting and the discussions are fun but normally have nothing to do with the test! You must read to do well on the test!!!
If you're looking for an instructor who is passionate about what she teaches, then take Dr. Anderson.If you want an 'easy A',look elsewhere(but you're shortchanging yourself).I enjoyed every class, she was entertaining but you MUST keep up with the reading as the tests are taken directly from it(my mistake).All in all, a rewarding experience.
What can I say about Dr. A? Knowledgeable, passionate, engaging, respectful. I took Psych of Law and Psych of Prejudice with her. Her classes are reading intensive, but most items are given to you, with only one book to buy. She is no slouch, but if you put in the effort and engage the material, you can earn an A. I did it twice
You must read the book and take good notes and you will be okay. She knows her stuff and is very interesting. This is my second time taking her, I took Psy and Law last semester. She grades hard so you have to be on the mark on your answers to essay questions on the tests.
I am a Psychology Major, and I have a 3.4 GPA going into my final year. I love the field and plan to not only counsel, but have been offered a job at a local college to teach. If I had taken Kristen Anderson's class early in my studies, I would never have continued my studies in Psychology. She is so Narcissistic, her class is all about her.
I've read the comments below and do not understand how anyone wouldn't like Dr. Anderson. I honestly don't even think she's that hard. You're in college. What do you expect? To come to class and pass magically without doing any work? I took her last semester for social psych and absolutely loved her. It was a lot of reading, but I still made an A.
I just graduated in Psychology this May 2015 and I have to say if you truly have a passion in Psych. then please take Dr. A! Yeah the class is a little tough but she will prepare you for grad school. I took her for Psych. of women and I always looked forward to going to class. It is a reading intensive class but the material was always interesting
Best professor at UHD! 3 tests and one apa paper. Read, do hw, ask questions if you don't get the material!! Prof Anderson isn't an easy A but you will definitely learn from taking her- her teaching style is different than anyone else I have ever taken! Would take her again, no questions asked.
She has a great personality, very engaging but I found her class ridiculous. I'm a psych major with a philosophy minor so I'm no novice on paper writing. But her test and the short essays were ridiculous. Short answer essays are up to personal interpretation as long as you can prove it. Not for her. It's what she says or not at all. Don't do it.
This is college. If you want to pass a class you have to put forth the effort. If you think you can pass her class being a lazy bum, you will fail. If you read and if you engage, you will be fine.
Dr. Anderson is an inspirational and motivated professor. Her class was not difficult if you read and come to class.
I took Professor Anderson for Psychology of Gender over the summer. It was a fast-paced class with a lot of reading and two hour lectures every day. But Professor Anderson made time go by quickly with funny and thought-provoking classes. She made links to current events from the readings. I strongly recommend this professor.
This professor is woke. She knows everything there is to know about social justice and oppression. This is the best professor I have taken at UHD. Do not take her if you are not ready to study.
BEST psychology professor I have taken at the University of Houston. Inspired me to change my major to Psychology.
I took Dr. Anderson for methods and psych of women. BEST PROFESSOR EVER. She is inspiring and passionate, and truly cares about what she is teaching. Of course it's upper level psych classes, so expect to read and buy the books. Just go to class and engage, you will take an interest in the subject no doubt.
My favorite professor so far. Makes readings and topics interesting.
Dr. Anderson tells you Social Psychology is the greatest course in the university. It is. She genuinely cares whether or not you understand the readings and lectures. The topics are interesting and apply to real-life.
Year 2014 first year going to UHD. I thought I would do amazing in this course, but it was extremely hard for me. I tried so hard to pass, the tests were very difficult, I had a hard time with the essay questions. While taking this course you have to read and I mean everything know every detail. I wish i dropped the class instead I ruined my GPA
Best professor ever! I loved her class. It is not an easy A. You have to study. She does offer extra credit toward the end of the semester. A lot of reading but the book is interesting, just consist of studies and you need to know the results of each one. Not hard. If you'd like to know how people are likely to behave, TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER! :)
Look, this is not an easy class but you will surely learn a lot. The info in this class will teach you about human behavior in many social situations. The book required is not like a regular boring textbook. It is interesting and consist of a bunch of studies on human behavior. Super interesting. The lectures are fun &she keeps your attention.
Yes, she is a good teacher and i loved her lectures. But the woman is crazy. You have A LOT OF READING. You have to order more than one book and read cover to cover of both through the semester! This class is very time consuming if you want to pass. 4 exams, no homework or extra assignments. Attendance counts toward your grade. Again, LOTS TO READ
2 books required, EXTREMELY INTERESTING. Discussions in EACH class, gives handouts for next class, needs one sentence answer to know if you understood it or not, 4 exams-90% & attendance-10%. 25-35 MCQs from readings/videos & 2 long OR 3 medium essays from handout (8-12 Q's), gives practice quiz b4 exam, final is not comprehensive. TAKE HER!!!!!!!!
Dr. Anderson is hands down the best professor at UHD. She makes you think and what she talks about is relevant to the world.
Don't take her courses if you don't read and come to class. Otherwise, I recommend any one of her classes. She is literally the best professor I have ever taken a class with. She genuinely cares about what shes talking about and the content of the class. Her classes are a lot of work but they are worth it.
I took Dr. Anderson for research psychology. She does a great job of explaining concepts. She gives a lot of comments on papers and homework. I highly recommend her.
The best. Hands down
Took her for social psychology and loved her! If you're looking for an easy A, she isn't the one for you. We have a reading every day so you will need the books. 3 exams and a final (NOT cumulative). She's really funny! Dr. Anderson really is one of the best professors that are passionate about their lectures.
Class is great and life-changing. 3 exams, final not cumulative, 1 cultural artifact 3-5 pages, attendance is graded. Lots of reading but all very interesting. I almost missed out on an incredible instructor and class. Taking her again next semester. Very knowledgeable and real about all the -isms, which is refreshing.
Dr. Anderson is my hero. She is very knowledgable and caring. Her classes are fun and the time goes by fast. I would take every class of hers. Her classes are relevant to the real world. She is fair and is motivated to have you do well.
Dr. Anderson is a great professor! The books required for her class are small paperbacks and she goes over the answers to the majority of the questions she assigns. Four exams and attendance makeup grade.
Worst class ever. I understand you have to read but most of her test did not make sense and were super hard.
4 exams including final which isnt cumulative. Lots of reading. Gives handouts that do help for discussion questions on exams but must read in order to be prepared for exams. Great lectures! The more you participate in class discussions the easier the tests in my opinion. The material is super interesting so if you put in the work youll be fine!
This professor is impossible. She is extremely rude and does not give good feedback. She wrote the book, so beware! The readings for this are endless. If you do not have 4-5 hours a night to study for this class, don't bother. You get to learn what she thinks of the world, not actual material.
Fantastic & engaging professor! Grades come from exams & attendance. It is strongly encouraged (i.e., required) to do the readings before class. Dr. Anderson provides discussion questions at the end of class to go over the next lecture, so do come prepared to discuss and participate. I highly recommend taking her classes!
Dr. Anderson is an incredible professor at UHD. Her lectures are phenomenal in her Psychology of Women class. Do come prepared to read before class and re-read for exams. Grades come from exams, 1 cultural artifact analysis paper, and attendance. Strongly recommend taking her classes!
No joke, her classes are tough!! But she is sincere in her care for her students and she wants you to be changed by the knowledge you get. She is definitely the most inspiring teacher I have had. Exams are tough. I have taken two classes with her, both hard, both changed me to a better version of myself. TAKE HER CLASS if you want to grow! READ!
You REALLY have to take notes, study, and participate to get a decent grade in her class, if that. There is no easy way out of her class whatsoever, nothing is online, and her test aren't for the faint of heart. 5 test with open ended questions and thats it. She's nice and good at her job but if you're looking to just ease by, don't take her.
DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. Alot of people say she loves this course, but in reality she is just there for a check. She requires two textbooks, she claims there will be only certain chapters on the test but includes other chapters as well. We were required to attend the zooms in which she did not have lecture. It was more of a open discussion.
Assigns her book & additional textbook & long documentaries and videos that will be on exams. It's kinda like she thinks her class is the only one you're taking. The "Take Home Final" she claimed would be easy was an 8 page single spaced paper that everyone freaked out about because she assigned it so late. Learned a lot but would not take again.
1st week impressions: seems like a good class so far. 4 exams w/ multiple choice and an essay (70%), paper (final) 20% & Zoom attendance/participation (log in, answering questions, and practice quizzes count as participation/completion grade. Seems nice, her zooms go over objectives, better than reading off a PowerPoint.
Social psychology was awesome. Dr. Anderson is very passionate about her teaching. Attendance is required.
Social Psychology with Dr. Anderson is hands down the best class I have ever taken. Very relevant to current events and she makes everything extremely interesting. She is good for student motivation. Cares about you learning the book and lectures.
I took Dr. Anderson's Psychology of Gender class. It should be required for all students. She makes you think outside of the box, gives good feedback on papers and essay exams, and is just awesome. This class is not an easy A, but the books and lectures are clear.
grades were based on 3 exams (1hr 15min limit) w 2-4 essay questions, a single page paper (8pgs), and going to 1 weekly zoom meeting. Taught with PowerPoints, they were more of a class discussion. If you didn't know an answer, she's super nice about it. Always answers questions and makes it easy to understand. Lots of reading, an interesting class
Needed the class & looked past her reviews.. she may actually be there JUST for a check. Weekly 20-30 ?'s (2 diff. books)+videos (needed for 4 exams). Must be done by the required/*useless* Zoom meeting/s (reviews what you've already answered on your own). Participation grade gathered there. Final: 9 single-space pgs, posts instructions very late.
Inspiring and knowledgeable. Very good at explaining things and very concerned about our learning.
Dr. Anderson is literally the best professor I have ever had a class with. She is caring of her students and obviously loves her job. You have to read everything and watch all videos to do well in the class but the books and videos are extremely interesting.
Dr. Anderson is a phenomenal professor. I have taken her psychology of gender and psychology of prejudice classes. She is conscientious and she cares a lot about her students. But her class is not easy. You have to study. Make sure you have actual copies of the books, not electronic copies, because the tests are open-book.
Dr. Anderson is why I changed my major from CJ to psych. She cares about student learning and the topics in the class are important and relevant to society. I will take her again. You have to have the books on day 1.
DON'T LET THESE REVIEWS FOOL YOU!!! This was one of the worst online courses I have ever taken. Took Dr. Anderson and she had to pay certain ones to provide good reviews. I was a 3.2 gpa online student and was a semester from graduating and this class was my 1st drop. Save yourself time and pick another instructor.
This professor is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! Do not and I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR!!
Professor Anderson's class was challenging but rewarding. The readings and videos were interesting, though a bit heavy. I found unstuckstudy helpful for prepping for the exams. Attend the discussions and stay on top of the workload to do well.
Full transparency, this is my 2nd time taking the course. However, it was definitely a me problem. You have to prioritize readings and complete the ppt questions before the lecture. exams are open book. you need both books, cheap from Amazon or pdf's can be found online. Dr.Anderson is passionate about this course & wants you to understand/learn!
This is my second time with Professor Anderson. You definitely have to study but the class and Anderson are outstanding. Inspirational and fun lectures. Fair grader. Taker her in person.
Dr. Anderson is very passionate about the topics. She genuinely cares about students learning. Easily the best professor I have had at UH-Downtown. You need to read the books and show up to class.
The most inspiring instructor I have ever taken. She makes all class subjects relevant to current events. She cares about each student doing well. The exams are hard but she let's you use the books.
Literally the best professor at UHD. Cares about students, very motivated, genuinely cares about you learning the class.
Dr. Anderson's social psychology class made me change my major to psychology. Arriba situational explanations, debajo dispositional explanations!
Hippie that doesn't teach but just asks question. A joke of a teacher who should find another career as it baffles me she's in this position. Whole chapters plus documentaries you have to watch even though you have other classes. Run far.
Everyone should take social psychology. Dr. Anderson is a smart, funny, caring professor. You have to read the books.
Dr. Anderson is the best professor I have ever had. I have taken three of her classes. She is fair, smart, funny and knows her stuff! I changed my major because of her. You have to read and come to class but she makes class fun.
Dr. Anderson is hands down my favorite professor at UHD. I have taken three of her classes. She is extremely knowledgeable and motivated!
I took her in person prejudice class and she made everything understandable and real world relevant. I will take her again for sure. Interesting class discussions, fair, responsive, fun.
Dr. Anderson's lectures are interesting and fun. She's funny. You have to have the book and bring it to class. I will definitely be taking her other classes.
was supposed to pick an easy elective for my last semester, wrong choice. Heavy on tests, relys on books in order to test us on. Second worst class I have had in 4 years, seems like shes paying or asking for good reviews.
