she nice, helpull, straight forward, encourages questions - there all really good questions to her. shes interesting and easy enough to sit through a 3 hour class with her.

She is so nice! She explains topics very well which makes a hard chapter really understandable! And she's not boring at all! The class I have with her is from 8Am-11Am and not once did I doze off! The midterm is fair.. too fair, in fact! A lot of the questions came from the study guide.. and she tells you almost exactly what to expect on the tests!

This prof is the best. A total asset to Ryerson.

She is a REALLY nice prof. Go to her class, read her powerpoints and u will expect at least an 80 in the class. One of the best prof I ever have. VERY UNDERSTANDING, and SMART (she came from harvard). Also very interesting to talk to. I love this professor. She always have a sweet smile on her face. Prof Vickers is the best.

she's awesome!! love love LOVE her!

Kristin is amazing! she's so enthusiastic about the material and she explains concepts so well! she makes you want to go to class!! her tests are fair and she posts notes up on blackboard every week...she's new (graduate from Harvard)...she is a wonderful teacher...you will love her!

Great teacher, very enthusiastic, loves teaching and helping students! Tests and essays are fair, a lot based on class work.

BEST PROF EVER!!

One of the best profs I had at Ryerson. Teaches with an infectious flair. She really wants students to do well, but fairness is the key, the way she teaches and how she approaches the course is pretty much all to the benefit of the student. Oh yeah, and she's also very attractive.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. She's OKAY.. Over-the-top nice, to the point where it gets a little irritating. Thinks US and Canada are a world apart in terms of language, pop culture, traditions etc. WTF. The course itself is easy.. the 2 tests had questions taken directly from the online practice Q's. I loved that.

great class!

She is an amazing prof!!! Very helpful to her students, and has a passion for psychology. She is extremely intelligent and very friendly. An asset to the Psychology department! LOVE HER!

She is very helpful to her students. She has tons of research experiences for her students to tap into. She is passionate about research. She is strong in academic research. She is open to discussions with students and welcomes feedback and sharing ideas. Enjoyed her class very much. She is very down-to-earth.

Amazing prof. She teaches the material very well. Yes, the class is easy, but you do learn a lot! It is easy because she explains it so well. Get in this class if you can. You will learn lots and the info is interesting.

very helpful prof, great experience and background in research. Come to every class, make notes and read the required reading. You will get 80% or above.

EXCELLENT proff. Lectures are interesting and interactive. Exams are fairly hard. She is approachable and very helpful.

Interesting prof who loves to teach psychology! Getting a good grade requires attending lectures and reading the textbook as exam questions come from both! I highly recommend this prof!

Awesome prof! She is very passionate about what she is teaching and her lectures are interesting. The exams are easy if you study (that includes material from the textbook). She is a very nice, polite, and friendly woman. I would take another class with her if I could!

Very enthusiastic about her material taught in class.

Professor Vickers is beautiful inside and out.... she is the nicest and most helpful professor at Ryerson. Take any class with her and you will truly enjoy it and if you put in the effort, you will be rewarded.

Pretty good prof. She delivers the lectures with interest and enthusiam. Her tests/exams are fair so read the book if you want to have at least a decent mark. She is very understanding and I absolutely would take a class with her again.

AMMMMMMMMMAZING PROF! YOU WILL LOVE HER!:)She's very helpful too!:D

Best prof I have had so far! She cares about her students and makes all the material easy to understand. Her lectures are fun and interesting. I would take another one of her classes just because she is teaching it!!!

She is very nice and helpful. Always answer my email within a day. She did a great job teaching the material so that everyone could understand. Would take another course with her. Tests are very fair.

She's a great teacher, very clear and concise. Be sure to read the book material also because she's very specific with her question on the test. Like she'll ask something you wouldn't expect. ez marker on the eassy we did. She's very friendly and helpful. Compassionate and caring! Definitely would love to have her again!

She is really nice, but her tests are really hard!

I LOVED Vickers! She is actually so funny - without trying to be - and she explains the material really clearly. She's very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about psych. If you like professors that go slowly with the material then she's perfect for you. I personally got a bit antsy sometimes, but overall wonderful professor.

One of my favourite psych profs at Ryerson. She is excellent at giving clear and concise explanations. Very friendly and approachable. If you attend every lecture, take detailed notes, and thoroughly study the textbook a high A in her class is not unattainable. Very fair marker over all. And interesting lectures. Great prof overall!!

SHE IS THE BEST PSYCHOLOGY PROF !! SO NICE SO ENTERTAINING . HER LECTURES ARE THE BEST. MY FAVORITE PROF AT RYERSON BY FAR .

Best psych prof ever!

Very good prof, you can easily tell she loves teaching her classes. very approachable, and helpful. you dont really have to go to class.

She is a really great prof! She explains things as best as she can. She's really nice and if you have her, you'll totally want to continue taking psych courses!

A wonderful professor, so much fun. Go to the lectures, she pretty much tells you whats on the exam. If also you read the book, you're guaranteed a very high mark in her class

such a good teacher. goes through slides clearly and explains thing in a lot of detail. really fun and keeps class interesting. go to class and take notes, is basically 70% of the work. reading the textbook isn't necessary for a passing grade. but if you read the book and go to class you'll get an 80+ guaranteed.

Enthusiastic, knows how to keep her class engaged. Read the textbook thoroughly, make good detailed notes and attend lectures for small bits not in the book (will pop up on her MC exams). Happy to help students out on content and the essay. Pick a topic that interests you, follow her instructions and you'll be set. Great course, I recommend her!

Easy course, very friendly and understanding prof, interesting and engaging material - what more can you ask for?

She is the best Professor I have this semester. I'm going to take all my psych courses with her. she explains everything so well.

She is an amazing prof. My favorite from first semester for sure. If you think you even have a slight interest in psychology taking this course is worthwhile, she makes it enjoyable. It's not difficult to get a good grade, but that being said the tests aren't by any means easy or common sense. Go to class, read the book and you'll be fine.

One of the best professors I've ever had!

One of the best professors I've ever had. Her explanations of material during class were clear and the midterms were based on her slides and the textbook. If you pay attention in class and read over your notes, you're guaranteed a high mark. She really cares about her students and wants them to excel. Definitely would take her again!

Definetely knows her stuff , gives amazing examples and always keeps the class interested. Very friendly and approachable and extremely helpfull. Altho her midterms and exams arent the easiest, as long as you go to class and study, you'll do great!

Everything is good about her class,clear, concise, you can simply use her powerpoints for the tests, but the textbook adds that much more to your understanding. No mind games or trick questions. Study scenarios for tests

Amazing prof!!! Very enthusiastic. She explains things clearly with examples & keeps everyone interested in the course material. Go to class each week because some of the things she says go on the midterms. Overall, I loved the class and her teaching!

Absolutely Great Lady. Thats all i really need to say. A genuinely nice person

A great person. Thats all i really need to say. A genuinely nice lady.

Absolutely the best prof I ever had! Always has a smile on and is always willing to help her students. VERY Enthusiastic and knows her material very well. Psychology is not relative to my career path but she definitely makes me want to switch my field of study to psychology.It's definitely worth it to take this course.

Amazing professor! really enjoys teaching! teaches with so much enthusiasm!

Awesome prof. Take her class! Explains the material very well and in a way that you're able to retain it. Uses many examples to explain the concepts and just a very joyful person. Her tests are fair, as long as you go to class and read the book you're good to go.

Amazing. Made me actually look forward to coming to class. Not the easiest liberal you can take but it's worth it just to have her, honestly! One of the best teachers I've ever had by far. She's beyond nice, considerate and helpful. More than willing to go out of her way to help you understand things. I wish she could teach all my courses.

Incredibly nice and genuine lady. Very considerate, pleasant, and intellectual. I Really enjoyed this class, I felt bad when I couldn't go. Her tests are hard though, you just need to study lots.

There are very few "great" teachers at Ryerson... Prof. Vickers is one of them. She is very helpful if you ask and she makes the classes enjoyable. Reading the text is a must if you want higher than a C+. Although her tests are decently hard, if you pay attention in class, no need to worry. Great experience with her! Take her class if you can!!

Excellent teacher. Her classes were worth attending. She made each topic easy to understand and if you only pay attention in class, you'll have no problem succeeding. Not the easiest of classes but if it's her teacher, then it's worth it.

this was my favorite class and my favorite prof! the only lecture where I actually paid attention! course included three 50 m/c tests each worth 25% and a paper. very awesome class!

She is honestly the best prof I've had at Ryerson. If you read the textbook alone in this course, you will do good but if you also attend her lectures and take detailed notes and re-read those, guaranteed 80+ in the course. Wish there were more profs like her

2 midterms, 1 final, and one essay (all 25% each). Great professor - very clear and you can tell she loves what she teaches and really wants her students to do well. I highly recommend you attend her lectures as some things on test are based on her presentations and must read the textbook. I am a business major and this course is very interesting.

I enjoy having her as prof. One thing though her exams could be a little challenging and you need to spend the time to study to achieve a really good mark. YOU NEED TO ATTEND TO HER LECTURES READ EVERY SINGLE DETAIL** ABOUT THE ABOUT BOOK and pay attention to what she says because what she says and her examples are in the exam always. RECOMMENDED !

Really smart, engaging, funny, professor. Attending her lectures is a MUST. She gives advantages/tips for midterms, so show up. Also, reading the textbook is a must if you want to do really well. Not to mention she got her doctoral from Harvard; no wonder she's so smart. Definitely one of the best professors here at Ryerson.

shes great

Kristin Vickers is simply the best. Just a joy to be in her class and she is the reason I which to pursue psychology as a major in my program (other than my interest in the field). Cannot say enough about her.

Smart,great lectures,funny and outgoing. I was honoured to be in her class.Her downside is the exams.Were a little confusing, difficult, struggle Material was not difficult but her exams were :S because u had to spend a lot of time studying for it Remember its a liberal, I felt that you have too spend too much time in it. time that you dont have.

Professor Vickers is very nice. She tends to repeat stuff a lot, which she means to emphasize, but students get bored quickly. She's very enthusiastic about the stuff she teaches and answers questions with joy. She's very supportive and easy to approach. Her BlackBoard is very organized and updated well.

Let me just say I am in second year and Kristin is one of the best professors I have every had. She teaches with enthusiasm and is very knowledgeable about this class.

-A MUST have prof!! -Makes any content interesting and easy to understand -Only prof i had that explained everything clearly and makes sure everyone understands it -She makes you want to go to class!

Best professor I've ever had in my opinion. You MUST attend lectures to pass the course though. Very clear, interesting, and descriptive lectures. HIGHLY recommend this prof :)

I have honestly never met such an amazing professor, like Professor Vickers. She is overall great! Her lectures are very informative and stimulating. Make sure to read the textbook that and her lectures are key to passing this course. Her class makes me want to switch my program.. lol but seriously, the best.

Professor Vickers was an amazing professor. She was very straightforward in her lectures and was very approachable. It is clear that she is passionate about psychology. Make sure that you take notes in her class and read the textbook chapters. If you do this, you will pass the class easily. The essay portion was not very difficult in my opinion.

Her lectures are so clear and she always makes sure you understand. Her lectures are interesting and she is a huge help if you need it. She even helped me outside of class with other questions outside of office hours. I hope to get her again as a prof. :)

She is an AMAZING professor! wish there were more professors like her! So clear and helpful. Attend class cause she gives hints on whats on the exam. And also you have to read the textbook in DETAIL!

Informative lectures. Her tests and exams are tough. Memorize everything.

Kristin was a great professor! I loved her lectures, they were interesting and she really explains the material well so that you understand. READ THE TEXTBOOK IF YOU WANT TO DO WELL. Her tests are super tough, and you need to thoroughly understand the material to do well. I truly enjoyed her lectures and the course, even if my mark was bad.

Amazing professor, shes from HARVARD! Down to earth individual and is very knowledgeable/intellectual in psych. Her lectures are engaging but make sure you read the textbook THOROUGHLY. Tests are a bit on the hard side. Amazing prof. overall.

I am convinced that Kristin Vickers is the Messiah. She is funny in a dorky professor kind of way, she's super friendly and sweet, and her slides are very straightforward. The class is interesting and she really has a passion for what she does. Literally in love with this woman she's actually so great and her oversized suits are on fleek.

Kristin Vickers is an amazing professor. She makes her lectures very interesting and is always willing to answer questions. She truly cares about her students and really wants them to succeed. Her tests are very difficult so you need to go to class and READ THE TEXTBOOK!!! Other than that I really enjoyed her class. Made me want to minor in psych.

Kristen Vickers is an amazing prof that inspired me to want to take further psych classes. She's explains everything so well and is there for you if you still don't get it. She's quite quirky. but it's part of what makes her class so enjoyable. The tests are fair; they're not particularly hard, but you do have to work. Same with the paper.

She's a great prof and she knows her stuff. You have to read the book in great detail in order to do better on her tests. 2 test, one paper, and one exam, all 25% each. The test are only 3 chapters each. Her tests are pretty hard and she marks the paper fair. Its important to go to the lecture as she will give questions that will be on the tests.

Professor Vickers is a very nice prof. She is really enthusiastic about what she teaches and tries to teach in an interesting way. She is also really into getting to know her students even though the lectures are huge, its just the type of person she is.

Prof Vickers is overall amazing. She gives great lectures in detail and she's passionate and knows what shes talking about. Only downside is her exams are very difficult, I barely passed the course only the essay saved me.. but overall she's a great prof & if you work hard you'll be fine

I had Vickers back in second year. She was a good professor that was very caring and approachable. The class itself is not easy and heavy in terms of tests and content, so you need to read a lot. 3 tests each worth 25% and an assignment worth 25%. She will also raise your final mark to the next letter grade, if it's close. Cares about students.

This prof is amazing. I enjoyed being in her class, she is so passionate and caring. She inspired me to take more psychology courses. If you go to class you will do well on the tests. Make sure you take notes in class and pay attention as that is mostly what she tests you on.

Although the course is quite content heavy, Professor Vickers does an amazing job teaching the material with engaging lectures. She also genuinely cares about her students, and will happily answer any questions both during and outside of class. Amazing prof, would take again for future psych courses.

Prof. Vickers cares that her students do well. Willing to spend as much time as you need to answer questions. Content heavy course, need to memorize a lot. 3 VERY straightforward non-cumulative exams+1 paper>25% each. Highly suggest attending classes AND buying the textbook, but the course is designed so that you could choose one and do OK.

This professor is amazing! She's very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in the content she teaches. The tests are non cumulative (3 exams and one essay). Also the exams were 70% of the lecture and 30% of content from the textbook

Vicker's keeps the grading simple: 25% test, 25% test, 25% essay, and 25% final. She is a really good prof. Explains really well. This course however, is hard for no reason. It's all bio and memorizing. Don't take it if you like psych, it's not psych. Take it if you enjoy science and biology. I liked Vicker's, she's nice and helpful. Marks fairly.

Very kind prof, you will do well if you keep up with notes and readings, textbook is a MUST.

She is amazing! Super caring and a lovely person to talk to. Her lectures and tests are reall straight-forward and she really does want you to do well.

Kristin is literally the sweetest lady ever. She's a bit of a goof at times which is so endearing and you can tell how passionate she is about teaching. I never bought the book once and got an A in the class. She even says that she lectures to give the people who come to class a leg up. Honestly, I wish she taught all my courses. What a gem!!

I highly recommend Professor Vickers, but do yourself a favor and attend the lectures. She gives many hints about the material and how it will be covered on the exams, and the lectures themselves are so in depth with great examples. There is a lot to memorize but if you pay attention and do a thorough review before the exam you will be golden!

inspiring prof! Tests involve text material + lectures but each are only based on the previous 3 chapters (non-cumulative). The research paper came with such detailed instructions that there should be no confusion. She marks the paper by simply giving mark for mentioning a specific detail as well as for grammar and formatting. Highly recommend!!!

She is an amazing lady, extremely approachable and organized. Her tests are difficult and cover all the material both in class and textbook, but they are overall fair. Amazing teacher, would recommend her for any psych course.

She's a genuinely caring professor who wants you to do better. You have to attend class and read the textbook to do really well but she makes the course interesting and easy to follow along.

Super sweet and interesting. She wants you to do well and will help you do so. 2 tests, an essay, and a final. The essay is an easy A. You need to look at her slides and follow the textbook for the tests and final.

You can tell Dr. Vickers really loves to teach. She is so excited and animated during lectures and really knows the material inside and out. I often asked questions after class and was always provided with very detailed answers. Exams are marked very fairly and reflect the readings assigned along with material from lectures.

She was amazing! I enjoyed all the lectures. I was genuinely interested in the material so I had no difficulties on the exams nor the essay. This course is heavy on the bio though. As a business major I was intimated by that at first but I actually enjoyed learning the content.

Professor Vickers is very passionate about what she teaches. For PSY 105, make sure you read the textbook as it is used on her tests. Overall, Professor Vickers is very kind and is always willing to hear more about your thoughts throughout the course. It's also very endearing that she remembers names easily.

really nice prof, very enthusiastic about the course. Essay is very easy, but tests are heavy. PSY 105 is not a bird course, there is tons of readings.

One of my favourite profs ever. She's so sweet and genuine! Has a true passion for the material and is so humble. This course is incredibly hard though - definitely not a bird course. However, I would totally take it again because Vickers is just that good.

If you go to class, study, and read the textbook it's an easy A. You have to study and show up to class, don't expect to get a good grade without putting in any effort. Dr. Vickers is really passionate about the subject, and is really interesting to listen to. The essay is very easy if you follow the format given and put in some effort.

She is a really nice and adorable lady, I love her so much. She is always here to help. However PSY105 is no joke a hard course. Please get ready to read, especially if you are not good at memorizing.

The best prof I've ever had!

Prof. Vickers is an AMAZING professor to have, who's very sweet and caring and will help you with anything regarding the course. The course itself is a little tough, but if you come to class, read the textbook, and take notes, you'll be fine. Her slides are posted online but she usually talks about stuff in class only that will be on exams/tests.

The best prof I've ever had. Such a smart and kind woman. If not taken seriously however, the course can be difficult. Attend lectures, take notes, read the powerpoint slides, and read the textbook. I wish she taught more PSY courses at Ryerson!

I LOVE PROFESSOR VICKERS. She is the best prof I have ever had! Her lectures are engaging, fun and extremely interesting. Her marking is pretty easy (most of the exam is multiple choice so that kind of just comes down to you). I wish she was teaching more courses :'(

Professor Vickers is a gem! She is so passionate about what she teaches and genuinely cares about whether you understand the material. Just know, this course is very "content-heavy". But, once you went go to class, read the chapter and do the end-of-chapter questions, you're sure to do well! I definitely recommend her.

Amazing prof, always concerned about her students. slides cover majority of the work but if you want an A you have to read the textbook well. Explains everything clearly and is genuinely one of the nicest profs

Professor Vickers is one of the nicest profs at Ryerson. I truly enjoyed taking PSY 105 with this prof and was one of my best experiences in an elective course. Lectures are very interesting and engaging, and is always willing to answer questions during at any time. This prof truly cares and is super nice !

She is the most amazing prof I've had so far. Vickers really cares about her students and is always available to help after class or through email. Her lectures are very straightforward and she explains everything very clearly. You must attend all the lectures to do good in her class. She is the reason I have a newfound love for psychology!

PSY105 is ridiculously hard for an intro to psych class. Lectures are very long, every hour of lecture takes about 2 hours to write notes. She had 3 hours of lectures every week. Professor Vickers is a really nice and friendly person, but the content of this course was so heavy. Ended up having to drop the course because it was dropping by GPA.

She is so nice and caring but the course content is heavy. Dont think this is a bird course that you can pass without any effort. There is a lot of content including biology and you need to read the textbook if you want an A+. The essay is easy since she gives detailed instructions. Good luck :)

If you have this professor, you already know you're blessed. She's passionate, caring and has an easy-going personality! She makes her lectures clear and entertaining but she does go slow paced only for people to thoroughly understand. She values how students feel and is a genuine kind professor but you do need to work hard!

She is a very kind professor who genuinely cares about her students. However, this course is quite content-heavy. There is a lot of content including biology but each exam is non-cumulative so you can easily catch up. The essay is also very is easy to do well on as she provides clear requirements.

Dr. Vickers is 10/10 the best prof at Ryerson! She is very considerate and genuinely wants all her students to succeed and motivates everyone to do and be their best. Although the course was content-heavy (a good background knowledge of basic biology is key), as long as you read the textbook and keep up with the lectures, it's an easy A!

One of the best professors you'll ever have. If only she taught more courses -- I'd absolutely take them. Her lectures are amazing and informative, and she truly cares for her students. I don't know if I would've gotten a better mark by doing textbook readings, I just studied from her lectures and slides.

Professor Vickers might be my favourite person on this earth. The nicest, most caring and accommodating professor I've ever had. I wish she could teach every course. Tests were easy since we were online, but I can see how they'd be difficult closed book. a lot of content to memorize.

Love Professor Vickers! Her lectures were clear and straight to the point. Her grading was fair and criteria and expectations were made clear for all exams and essays. She’s super kind and helpful when you have any questions. Would 100% take more of her courses.

Very interesting course and prof Kristin Vickers is the best. Exams and assignments are fair but kind of hard for non psychology major students.

Dr. Vickers is super organized, caring, and knowledgeable. 100% the nicest person I've ever met - I can go on and on about how amazing she is. The course was tough, lots of content to digest. But if you're ready to work hard, A+ is achievable. I don't have a bio background but still managed to pull thru just fine. Essay is easy, tests are harder.

Words simply can not describe how amazing Dr. Vickers is at her job. She is dedicated, thorough, professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field, psychology. I eagerly keep checking to see if and when she teaches any of the PSY courses so I can take those. Highly recommended!
