Does a good job of making the subject matter easy to understand, and does everything she can to help the students succeed. The online homework has extra credit material, and you get an easy 8% of the grade in discussion board posts. I put my grade as "Not sure yet" because the semester isn't over, but I feel pretty confident I'm going to get an A.
Its an easy A class. I went to class 9 times this semester and still got a B. Homework is on Revel and is painfully easy. Exams are easy. and she gives extra credit for the wind blowing. Best Prof. at FAU!!
Dr. Jones is the best prof at FAU. She is hilarious and relatable. Homework is super easy and counts for a good portion of the grade. Theres a midterm and a final but if you go to the review you should be more than fine. Best psych class I've ever taken with the best professor. More professors should aim to be like her. She wants you to do well!!!
She is literally the funniest teacher I've ever had, and so nice! BUT she teaches so fast! I am horrible at math so it didn't help, but I had to drop her class because I fell so far behind. She used Aplia and it made me want to rip my hair out. She basically taught as if we already knew the information.
Dr. Jones, is a beautiful & smart lady. Love her jokes. One thing, I am not sure if she's too fast with lectures, or if my attention span sucks with math, I just had few problems retaining her lectures, but she makes her office hrs available, and she is very caring for her students. The Mindtaps are also a great way to practice. TAKE THEM SERIOUS.
She is a 10/10 professor. I highly recommend her. The course is pretty easy if you do the homework, and attend class. Two exams midterm and final. I would take her again for other courses offered on campus. :)
This class was very enjoyable and I liked Professor Jones a lot. She was super funny every class and her grading scale is perfect. She has 2 tests but you even if you don't do too well on them you can still get a high grade because of homework/discussions/attendance. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND GO TO CLASS. if you do that then you're chillen
She is a very great professor. She is very funny and is very good at making the material easy to learn. Her test are very straight forward and is exactly what her kahoot reviews are. There is a lot of homework but it is EASY!!!!!!!! All you got to do is the homework and show up and your getting an A.
She is probably the best professor I had so far. Super smart and very relatable. Her lectures are amazing, I am never bored or not able to pay attention during her class. I would definitely take her again.
Dr. Jones is hilarious and does a great job at explaining the terms and concepts by applying it to reality and engaging in discussion. This class was really easy, but full of information. Her study guide is EXTREMELY HELPFUL, the homework is simple but informative and a really neat way to learn the concepts, and you get points for showing up? 10/10
Professor Jones has been the most easy-going, funniest teacher Ive ever had. I really enjoy going to her classes and I learned something new and exciting during every lecture. The midterm and final was easy and straight from the material she covered. Highly recommend her!
I love professor jones. She is an amazing professor and my peers, who are also taking Experiential Design and Statistics, are having a munch rougher go of it than I.
This class is very easy! It consists of a midterm and final (both cumulative), group quizzes, and discussion board assignments. Complete hw on time and take the professor's advice on how to study for exams and quizzes and you will breeze through this class. Lana Jones also offers a lot of extra credit through out the semester.
Dr. Jones is AWESOME. She made statistics fun and is such an engaging professor to listen too plus she's just flat out hilarious. This class is honestly super easy especially the first half of the semester. I have never laughed more in class than I have with her. Midterm/Final is easy, group quizes are easy, homework is pretty easy too.
One of the best professors at FAU, if not the best. She really cares about all of her students and wants EVERYONE to pass. She is super funny and makes class so enjoyable!!!! I love this class and would take it a million times over. Do all your work, go to class, and you can get an A!
If you have the chance to take her for any class, do it! She is hilarious and makes lectures enjoyable. Theres iclicker reef attendance, online homework, discussion boards, and 2 exams but its an easy A if you just show up and do the work. She gives kahoots to study for the exams and posts powerpoints I would take her for every class if I could!
Honestly, if you're taking this class as a pre-req and you don't want to mess up your gpa don't take her!!!!!!!!! She's a cool teacher, but there's only two tests so if you mess up on one your grade is basically tanked. Her tests are cumulative, as well. Attendance is mandatory because she does iclicker reef so you have to go.
Dr. Jones is fantastic. You can always tell theres a bitter student by how they whine about their GPA. If you go to class, she gives Kahoot, which are literally the test questions. She gives extra credit, midterm is 20% of the grade and final is 30% ( NOT CUMULATIVE). Homework is 40% of your grade, discussion and attendance worth 5%.
She made class with going to because all lectures were entertaining and informational. The online work is needed to get a good grade in the class, but not difficult to complete if you start it when it is assigned not when it is due
This class is extremely easy to succeed in. Homework is worth a lot but not hard at all, just make sure to keep on top of it. Tests are easy, study the kahoots and you will get an A. Professor Jones is hilarious, incredibly intelligent, and so far in my opinion the best lectures on campus. I looked forward to this class every week.
New professor. Doesn't require attendance. Although i went to class, she basically reads straight off the power points. The power points are useless in learning how to apply the concepts/calculations to individual problems. Professor should focus on practice problems in class more since its whats on the entire exam. Consider another professor.
Dr. Jones is hilarious, made the whole class laugh multiple times. Lots of homework (super easy and a good grade booster) on engage. 2 test, midterm and final, that I got A's on both, study with the Kahoots and you will pass no doubt. She's an awesome teacher and relates a lot of things to life which makes it easier to remember. take her!
Super easy class! Study the Kahoots she gives and youll do great. Homework was Mindtap which is really easy. Just take her classes
Professor Jones makes this statistics class easier to understand and gives practice problems to help you understand the homework and what to expect on the quizzes/exams. The quizzes are group quizzes which makes them less stressful and allows you to learn from your peers. Overall great professor to take for a challenging course!
She does a good job at making sure you get it if you dont she will keep going over and not move on until you do. Class always ends early so youll have plenty of time for one on one questions and practice problems. Shes very very generous . Did not like some of her jokes because they were a bit much but.... her class is good. No textbook used
Best professor ever. Attendance is not mandatory however she does do activities during class that bump up your grade so you should not miss any classes. Offers a lot of extra credit. Her kahoots are very similar to her tests (easyyyy) just study those. She is so funny and makes the class so fun and light. I will for sure take her again. 10/10.
The material for this class is super hard, but Dr. Jones gives several opportunities for extra credit. The one criticism I have is the way she conceptualized the information rather than applying it. Would not recommend her if you're a hands-on learner
Forgot to leave this review while back after completing this class in summer, but I wish I could've also given Dr. Jones a chili pepper lol. She's hot! her lectures are beautiful, and her lectures structure is beautiful, and of course as well as herself. She's very cool. I always got picked on for being late!
Dr. Jones will make the class fun and light. She always adds funny anecdotes about her life that may relate to the topic we're on. I found this class hard because her power points aren't really helpful but Read the textbook and do the homework and you'll be fine.
I took her for Stats and she made the subject very understandable. It's a lot to learn but she makes sure to add funny stories that help you remember. The final is cumulative, but everything leads up to future topics and she lets you have a cheat sheet for the final. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you want a good grade, you should come to class
She is a very good teacher. She cares a lot about students and really wants us to understand. Only two test and quizzes but like the test are exactly like the online review so if you fail then you are just lazy. Obviously you have to put in some kind of effort but not a lot. It wasnt a class that I was worried about.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Her lectures are hilarious and she'll make u understand hard material in a way that u can understand it. Lots of hw, lots of extra credits and 2 exams. I would record her classes and work the hw questions because it is similar to the exams. You'll only get an easy A if you do what she says. She's super cool and beautiful!!!
I loved this teacher!! She always related her lectures to the real world and kept me engaged through funny stories. There is only 2 tests though, the midterm and the final which are worth a large percent of your grade. However, on the exam she made a kahoot which I only studied and got an A. She also randomly takes attendance so come to class.
I loved Dr. Jones' lectures, until I took the tests. The lectures were hilarious but don't prepare you for the exam at all! There's only one exam THE ENTIRE SEMESTER, then a final exam that is cumulative. There are many other opportunities to boost your grade, however, I prefer professors that write their test questions themselves. Won't take again
Attendance is mandatory, but you wont mind because she is hilarious. I honestly did not read the textbook, but I listened to her lectures and the homework helped me recall a lot. She will have you get in a group during lecture and discuss a given question and submit (easy A). She was extremely gracious during COVID-19.
Dr. Jones is amazing and hysterical. She made the lecture fun and interesting! There is a lot of homework but it isn't unmanageable or difficult. She does in-class assignments for credit so it is important to attend. Loved this class!
For the most part, she is a funny person but I did not learn in her class. She will not work with you if you need assistance. Her class is easy but she gives a lot of work so just be ready. I would not take her again.
Lana is literally one of the best professors I have had so far. Stats was the easiest with her. Hw's are pretty easy and exams are too, as long as you pay attention in class your set. Quizzes are in groups and she gives you two chances to get it right. Also hilarious, will make you want to go to class because her stories are so fun to here.
She is really fun and makes stats seem interesting! Theres a lot of homework but its very useful for practice especially for the quizzes and exams. she offers help on the homework during class and quizzes are all group based.
I took her for DEP 3053 and PSY 3234 and honestly she is amazing. She is really funny and makes the lectures interesting. Pretty easy on the grading but that doesn't mean you can just not put in any effort. Especially for PSY 3234, you'll have to listen to the lectures and actually do the Cengage homework but if you do that then you will do well.
She pre-records her lectures so if you have questions while looking at the powerpoints you have to figure it out. Tests on canvas are not straightforward at all and leaves you confused, not knowing what shes asking. Cengage takes average on homework so unless u get it right the 1st time you wont get a 100. Dont recommend taking her online.
I've taken Doc Jones for two psych classes already and she is always great. This class's curriculum is difficult but that's just the name of the game (stats). This course was online due to COVID and that was the worst bit, there is a big difference in her teaching online and in-person (which I miss). Still a great prof, definitely take her!
The teacher herself, is average to me. The course is hard, and time consuming, and surely cause you stress . She does not really help when you're online, its like she only cares about the students who are in her class meetings. She does homework reviews only for her students who are in her class and spends half of the time making jokes...
Dr. Jones is awesome, take her if you can! The course work was on Cengage and there was about 2-3 hours of homework a week. Dr Jones kept the zoom lectures pretty entertaining but effective in delivering info. Exams were open notes and 1 exam and 2 hw grades get dropped. Easy material in the first few weeks but gets so hard in the last 5-6 weeks.
Dr. Jones is great. All the homework assignments are on Cengage and the exams are open notes. Material gets challenging later, but she provides problem set reviews if you're struggling and is easy to reach out to via email.
Dr. Jones as a professor was NOT helpful this semester in the slightest. I took her online course and she did not answer a single email. She provides ZERO support and apparently openly claims that it is because her online class is lazy? The class is not hard as long as you can teach yourself because she simply posts pre-recorded lectures, thats it.
Professor Jones was amazing this semester. All the homework assignments are in cengage and as zooms are used to go over problem sets. She is very easy to reach via email. She dropped the lowest test grade and 2 of the lowest homeworks which really helps and also gave plenty of opportunities for extra credit.
Dr. Jones was a great professor. The class is primarily done through Cengage which includes all the homework sets and mastery reviews(vocab). There are discussion posts assigned throughout the semester, but they are very simple and an easy way to get points... so do them! She offers several opportunities for extra credit too. Highly recommended!
Amazing and funny. If you study and do the cengage practice problems before the exams you should get an A
Dr. Jones is a really funny and knowledgable about what she teaches. I took this course fully online, so there were pre-recorded lectures and the homework is all on Cengage. She holds problem set reviews to go over the homework and is easy to reach out to. There are 5 exams that are hard if you don't know the material, but tons of extra credit.
She is super funny and gives engaging lectures. The homework is very time consuming but helps in the end. She offers extra credit and gives a lot of opportunities to boost your grade like discussion posts. You will do well as long as you put in the effort.
Shes hilarious and has a tendency to go off topic for a while to tell hilarious stories and makes random jokes. However she does tell us what to expect on the tests and she lets us use our notes, cool �� Laid back professor
Professor Jones was a great math teacher to have! I took her statistics course over an intense 6-week period and she made the material very easy to understand. All of her lectures are pre-recorded so this makes it easy to fit into your normal everyday schedule. She is very funny and laid back! The exams were not too difficult either!
Dr. Jones made stats so much fun. I have the hardest time in math and i did so good because of how well she can explain the material. She is so funny she keeps your attention. She is by far my favorite professor at fau.
The lectures were great. They were separated in short increments so you can take your time and go through them. She explains things in a funny way that helps you remember the material. Make sure you do the homeworks and understand the concepts from the lectures for the exams. The material can get confusing towards the end, so just keep up with it
Dr. Jones is hilarious and a great lecturer; however, I had to take two sets of notes: textbook and lecture, as she doesn't go through everything. Homework was easy but dont leave it for last minute because you can't do it all at once. The Exams were heavy, so make sure you know your stuff. Overall she is real funny and nice, you'll like her.
I took Dr. Jones for Multicultural Psych and have never enjoyed a class more. You are allowed 2 absences and are expected to write 3 essays, which are fairly easy to do. We have insightful discussions and she tells such hilarious stories related to the course content. There are no tests, just weekly quizzes and discussions.I would highly recommend.
Highly organized person. She is clear and concise during lectures, she gives lots of examples that will appear in homework. Homework is waaaay more difficult and tedious than exams (usuaIly short and sweet), I do not like stats and I refused to study until I met her. She is very fair and engaging. You will learn something at the end of semester.
This was an online course but she always met with us via zoom the week of the exam to go over questions(not mandatory). She also had prerecorded videos for each chapter. 3-4 chapters were due every 3 weeks. Statistics is a HARD course but all the assignments/discussion helped my grade. You get full marks for discussions. The Professor is great
Adding to the previous rating, I also had to take notes both from the textbook via Cengage and her lectures on canvas. I couldnt learn simply from her lectures, so I mostly took notes from the book and like 3-4 days before exams I watch the recordings. Overall, the prof is chill and has a clear grading criteria. She drops lowest exam and 2 low hw.
Took the summer format for this class. Homework assignments every week due by Friday and some discussion boards. Very straightforward and Professor Jones provides all resources needed to pass the class.There are no quizzes or tests, only a final at the end of the semester. Awesome class!
I took the 6-week version of this course and tbh I thought it'd be difficult since math isn't my strongest subject but surprisingly it was quite easy. The lectures are straightforward and provide a good foundation for each chapter. The homework gives you three tries per question and averages out each attempt. The final is worth 25% of your grade.
This course mostly consists of homework assignments. I really suggest to use Chegg! It shows work to most problem types.The only other two parts of our grade were discussion posts which were very easy 100s and the final exam.The class was stressed abt exam bc we've never had a test before but it was just like the practice exam. No extra credit
I took her online. There was only a cumulative final exam worth 25% of your grade. The rest consists of discussion boards and homework assignments. There was a tiny bit of extra credit, but not much. Her lectures were funny to listen to. The final exam is very similar to the practice exam she gave out. Pay attention to her examples in the lectures!
I took Dr. Jones twice and she is an amazing professor, I would take her a third time if I could. I was in her multicultural psychology course that was by far my favorite class. Her lectures are very engaging and funny, and most of the assignments were discussion based. There was also weekly quizzes in which all the answers would be in the textbook
I took her purely online class, there was a lot of homework but chegg helps if you get stuck. I didn't watch any of her lectures but taught myself the important stuff that was on the practice test for the final exam. Exam was worth 25% of your grade. I got a B on it and passed still with an A.
Completely online class. Lots of homework assignments however, they weren't that difficult. You can definitely do well if you pay attention to topics and lectures.
The first time I took PSY3234, I failed. The second time I took it, I switched to Dr. Jones, today was the last day of class & I ended with an A-, enough said. She is an absolutely wonderful professor, shes funny & her practice exams are veryyyy similar to her final which is open note. I never thought I would get an A in any math course, 10/10
Pretty easy even for math, hw gives u multiple attempts and the discussion posts are SUPER easy. The lectures are the same as the powerpoints, so they're not super useful, but she makes them entertaining. Only one test (the final) and you get a practice exam and it's open-note. I recommend u take this class and take it w her!
HW is weighted a lot but the assignments are so easy it's free points. No quizzes or exams other than the final which is open note. I went the whole semester not knowing a thing but I passed the final with a B and ended with an A. Easiest class ever.
This class was a breeze. Homework was a little lengthy but fairly easy to complete. Practice final that she provides helps A LOT in preparation for the final. Only grades are homework, discussions, and final.
Loved this professor, her lecture videos were helpful and she is very funny. Homework assignments were weighted heavily but they were so easy. The practice final helped a lot with the final. I would recommend her and would take her again
first time taking her, no study guide. you use Honors lock with webcam and screen sharing. exams are confusing considering that there is no study guide so you really dk what you're going to be tested on. wouldn't recommend this professor for this course to anyone !
Be prepared to teach yourself, the lectures doesn't cover the whole chapter so you have to study the textbook. Homework was lengthy but easy and she gives you plenty of time to complete them. Final exam had no review guide but there is only one exam so if you study the material well and do the practice test you should be fine.
Being a Psychology major this is arguably one of the most important classes to take and succeed at, paired with my dyscalculia I knew that this was going to be hard. However, when the professor started explaining concepts in phallic terms and comparing bell curves to the anatomy of female breasts, I was shocked. Don't know how she got hired at FAU.
Dr Jones had the best recorded lectures I've seen and taught pretty advanced material in a digestible and bitesize manner. Lots of work and her exams are proctored, but great class.
Her class is great would recommend, it's a lot of work but she makes it easy to understand
The course work itself was okay. Her lectures were okay but I stopped watching them because she related many concepts to unprofessional subjects regarding males or females and always made inappropriate jokes so I just read her slides. First assignment was how to email her professionally but doesn't act professional at all, felt uncomfortable.
Bio basis is a lot of content, so stay on top of your work and make sure you revise the information! I used her powerpoints, not the book. The tests were really not that bad but some questions were just annoying to deal with and, in my opinion, ambiguous or not clear. Best advice is to revise, revise, revise! Annotate the powerpoints as you watch.
Lectures were super simple to understand, but didn't feel like they matched the exams :( Textbook is required for assignments, would recommend studying from textbook rather than her lectures. A required course for psych majors so be prepared! Exams use honorlock so study!
Do not only use her videos to study, they are not helpful. Study the textbook and assignments. Also for Bio Bases, definitely utilize outside resources like youtube and other websites because neuroanatomy is difficult to comprehend at first and sometimes the textbook doesnt explain things well.She gives you 2 weeks to do 1 chapter which is great!
The class is not extremely hard, just do all the assignments and do your own research on how to learn them. Just one exam but it counts 25%. Do not miss any assignment and try your best for the final exam and you will be fine. You have to basically teach yourself but if you don't mind its not that bad.
Listening to an educated woman make misogynistic comments and objectify herself & the female body during lectures is disheartening. I am appalled at the comments she makes. Comparing bell curves to "boobies", saying "We scientists like graphs to be tight like our women", "I usually stand up in class for this but I don't wear pants at home haha."
Honestly, this class was frustrating. The professor messed up my grade and then she blamed me for not catching HER mistake that drastically altered my grade. She also made weird, inappropriate jokes during lectures that made things uncomfortable, and took the questions from exams from who knows where bc it was def not her lectures or the textbook.
very weird.
easy class just lots of hw
I took her online for fall and there was only one exam, which was the final (cumulative). I would recommend taking the practice exam for the final since the question layout was basically the same. Most of the grade was from the hw, which were super easy. She has videos going over some of the harder questions in the hw too. She's also funny.
