Anyone who likes this class is in high school, and doesn't want to do any work for a grade. It was a brain dead class, show up and fill in the blanks on a print out. SO RIDICULOUS! Waste of time and money.

Sis. Roberts is....decent. Her class is very straightforward, her tests aren't horrible if you study hard, assignments weekly, and a group project at the end.

I LOVE Sister Roberts! Her lectures were so helpful. I like how she would write an outline on the board while lecturing. The reason I rated her as "easy" was because if you go to class, take notes, and study hard, you WILL get an A. The only reason you wouldnt is if you weren't studying as hard as you should.

I am very disappointed with this teacher. I read the comments and thought she'd be perfect. I have never missed a class and take copious notes, and yet I have gotten D's on three tests.I participate every class period but she won't give full points because I have questioned her. She gets confused by simple questions a teacher of 5 years shouldn't.

I love sister Roberts. Come to her class ready to learn and have an open mind and it will be entertaining, insightful and extremely applicable. She is also hilarious and seriously so kind. Listen attentively, take detailed notes, and review often for an A. & meet with her outside of class for extra credit, she really does care about her students!

Sister Roberts is the best professor. I was terrified to take PSYCH 201 but she made it so much easier. Her lectures were very easy to follow and I understood concepts very quickly. She loves participation and all her test rely on the notes taken in class. Highly recommend taking her! She is amazing!

Entertaining, heavy, and insightful lectures! Lots of reading, not enough time to read all the chapters. Chapter assignments (PQ's) need to be perfect based on niche information. The online version could make searching for terms easier and save time. Start your final paper early, take notes, and this class will be engaging and rewarding!

Don't get me wrong, she's a great professor and I would take her again, but I hated her tests. She tells you not to read the textbook because she'll tell you what to study, but then there were always questions on the tests of things we never went over. Aside from that, I loved the way she taught! I wish everyone taught like her.

The class has one short paper that is about 6 pages and another paper that is a minimum of 20 pages if you want an A. It's not too bad if you write it as the semester goes. Sister Roberts is good at making class content relevant and engaging.

Qualitatively speaking, I think she is the best professor I have taken in my 120 credits. I am just taking this class for prereqs for PT, but I love learning in her class. The only reason you would struggle in her class is if you don't go to class, do the homework, or take notes. As long as you do those, you should be more than fine.

AMAZING! Seriously!! She knows what she is talking about and incorporates great experiences to help you learn! I would take this class from her again! There was a textbook (I think) but I didn't open it at all and did great in the class just from class notes. She takes notes with you so you know the important things to write down to know for exams.

Sister Roberts might be one of the best professors I have ever had at my time here at BYUI. She is so understanding and an incredibly skilled teacher and preps you for tests. She knows her stuff and wants you to succeed. I learned SO much. She is organized, funny, and takes her job very seriously. I loved her and wish I could take her class again!

This is a difficult class, but it also so interesting! The lectures are amazing! The tests are hard but do your homework, go to tutoring, and memorize. Memorization is the majority of the test. She is really kind and loves questions and discussion. Start on projects early and make sure to ask questions when you are confused!

Best Psych teacher in the school. Prepares you for tests, gives examples of theories we are learning about. Very caring and just a great teacher. Tests are worth a lot of points but you are always prepared for them if you pay attention in class and go to the tutors.

Sister Roberts is the best professor I have ever had! She connects what we learn in class with real-life examples, and it makes it so much easier to remember the material. She has the best stories, and she's an incredibly caring person.

Sister Roberts has been teaching this psychology class for a decade so she knows the material inside and out. The class is set up like any other psychology class with the exception of a 25 page paper at the end of the course. There are 5 unit tests and some study guides to fill out.

Kynda Roberts is one of the worst 3 teachers I've had. She has policies in place that inhibit students from taking good notes (no technology is allowed for class.) The only reason I learned anything is because I went to tutoring. Course materials are not available outside class. The difficulty is arbitrary, not because the material is complicated.

The only reason the class is difficult is because Sister Roberts makes it hard to learn. The only way to pass is to go to tutors; lectures are long and are mostly useless even though you need to go to get part of your grade. She tries to link content back to life but either ends up inserting her political view or bragging about her own life.

Sister Roberts knows what she is teaching and you can tell!! Tests are harder so go to tutoring to help you prepare for them. There is a large paper due at the end of the semester but she runs through the criteria in the first couple of days of class to lay it out. DON'T PROCRASTINATE IT! You learn a lot in this class but it is worth it.

I loved Sister Roberts! She was always so kind and helpful. She was very understanding. She was very good at teaching and using examples to help us understand concepts. However, you should study because you think you'll know the material from her lectures, but you may not know it as well as you think. Study and go to tutoring! The class is not hard

It is a difficult class as there is a ton of information to cover but sister Roberts does an amazing job of keeping it interesting and making the information understandable. There are quite a few tests and papers, but she gives you ample time to complete them.

Sister Roberts is reasonably tough and honestly is just trying to help us learn. I learned tons from her lectures. For homework it's mostly just 2 bigger assignments and a presentation all semester. Tests are super hard but she is very clear about what to study to do well. You don't need to read the textbook tbh. Highly recommend this class/prof.

She is a really great teacher. The final project is big, so when she first introduces it, start working on it! Don't procrastinate! She is very caring and wants to help you succed. When studying for the tests, study the pq's go to the tutors, take the pactice quizzes online, and reread your notes. I would defenitly reccomend this class!

Sister Roberts is a really good teacher, but she asks for a lot. If you want to take a fun, easy class, don't take it from her. You will learn a lot, but you have to put in A LOT of work in order to get a C- in her class. I also went to tutoring twice a week just to try and pass her class.
