The class (Psychology of the Self) itself was very interesting. The power point slides were sometimes confusing. For example, she might cite a research study but not give specific details of the study (# ps? Premise?). If you read the book along with the power point slides, the class is very easy. If you don't read, you might be confused.

One of the best instructors I have ever had. She gave on-topic and focused lectures, was understanding of personal circumstances, and was highly accessible outside of class. Go to class and take notes, and you will do well while learning a lot. Absolutely amazing professor!

Dr. Boyce really wants her students to do well. Her lectures are super clear and she gives guided notes for each one. There are a couple of group projects and a presentation but they aren't too bad. Midterms and final are online, non-cumulative, open note. She is incredibly nice too.

She gives a lot of work and the class requires you to read the entire textbook due to inquizitive. She does seem like she cares about the students but thats hard to display in an online course. There are no cumulative exams, just quizzes every other week on the chapters we worked on. There also is no final.

Lots of homework

The only assignments were two group projects, 3 exams, and REP participation, so if you got a bad group things were awful. Lectures were straightforward, and she provides PDFs of the slides to take notes on. Open-note exams. Highly recommend.

Good professor, easy class. Don't need to read textbook, tests are easy. She records the lectures, but I'm not sure if that's because of COVID. Would probably be boring if I had to go to class because it takes me 15 minutes to watch each lecture once I skip past everything irrelevant and play it at double speed. She's caring and easygoing.

Professor Boyce was so caring and you can really tell that she is passionate about her field. Lectures were organized and to the point and she took measures to make sure everyone understood everything she was teaching. I would definitely take another one of her classes.

This class was very boring but easy. There were some interesting parts, but only reason I went is because of TopHat. Lectures are extremely long (20+ slide) and she will tell you to read the book, but you don't need to. I would have had an A in the class, but I got docked points on my project!

I genuinely loved taking this class and will be looking for more classes that she teaches. Her lectures were very informative and I was always interested in what she was saying. She's very passionate and enjoys social psychology and it shows, and it definitely shows. If you don't take one of her classes, you're definitely missing out.

one group project that you work the entire semester through, easy lectures and exams, I really enjoyed the material (but i'm also a psych major). she is easy to email/talk to whenever you need help. grade based on chunks of group projects, and 3 exams. you can get an A even without going to lecture; there is one group presentation

KRISTY BOYCE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR AT OHIO STATE. Her lectures are so interesting and she is truly so kind and caring. She is always willing to provide help to her students no matter what. I wish I could take all my classes with Professor Boyce.

A very bubbly person, gives off english teacher vibes. She also seems like she has ADHD lmao. Course was super interesting! Concepts were easy (basically operationalized common sense) and there's semester-long groupwork where you present a research study and write a mock research proposal.

Dr. Boyce is the best. She's personable, quick to respond, very understanding, and I genuinely enjoy her lectures. She's also really funny and has a great personality. Her grading is clear and she genuinely wants her students to do well. Definitely one of the best professors I've had at OSU.

Dr. Boyce is a very down to earth professor who won't make you feel bad about yourself. While attendance isn't mandatory, if you miss class you won't be able to get the notes. However, if you have a good reason for missing, she will give you access to the filled in slides. I always feel good leaving her class.
