puts more into test than, letucre

She was not nice and gave me a bad grade. Thanks miss Madson. You fd up my scholarship. Now I have to work my ass off to make enough money to pay for school.

She was nice and all, but her RATS were dumb. It is hard to learn like that, and yes she does tend to mess up scholarships. My GPA was high, and I still failed the dumb class. I will never take a class with her.

I don't think anybody likes her. She pretends to be nice, but then she gives bad grades. She is a hater.

Stupid ****. Is there anyone that actually likes her. I wish she would not teach psychology. She needs to get married already.

blah!!!

teams suck. why can't she lecture and let me learn something?

very poor confusing class

Thank god not all classes in college are as useless as this one. If they were, then I would never have attended college. This class is useless. All you do is pointless group assignments. If all your looking for is an easy A then this class is the one to take. Otherwise, Get OUT!!

This class is so random and useless, has nothing to do with Psychology, she is very unclear on what she wants with her evaluations and marks off when you aren't "clear enough", and the grading system is totally random and makes no sense.

What a terrible experience and unpleasant human being. It's not that difficult to get a B if you just go to class but I 100% suggest just not taking her class. You'll need her outdated self-published $80 workbook, and don't bother asking for a copy of her pdf, she won't give it to you. I wish I had this advice: don't take her classes.

Condescending, patronizing, talks at the class like she knows the students better than they know themselves. Wouldn't recommend this professor to anyone.

Worst teacher ever! You won't learn anything in this class, except how to budget. That's right, BUDGET, in a Psychology class!! If you don't like group work don't take this class! Madson also makes you buy her self written "tare out worksheet" book (can't resell) that is outdated and her assignments are unclear and she wont explain anything to you.

This class will literally teach you very little about Psychology. You are assigned into permanent teams early in the semester. Dr. Madson offers very little in the form of instruction and leaves the majority of the teaching and instruction up to her shoddy self published tear out workbook that acts as your textbook. My advice don't take this class.

Great as long as you don't want to learn any basic psychology.

I knew I was gonna dislike the whole course with this instructor from Day 1!

TA's do majority of grading. Textbook is mandatory. Group work makes up over 50% of your grade. Groups are assigned, not chosen. My advice is to not take this class or professor she is an extremely tough grader when she does grade assignments.

Group work constitutes 60-70% of the class. The book is necessary to pass but is horrible. Attendance is also mandatory to pass. Lectures can be interesting but there is little time for class work after lecture is over. Dr. Madson is an extremely difficult grader. Be prepared to read, and have multiple writing assignments done weekly.

She teaches her class based on trying to be different, but it only makes things worse. YOU MUST ATTEND CLASS. Based on group work, attendance, you teach yourself outside of class, quizzes and homework due everyday before class, and huge individual projects that she is never clear about and is a tough grader. I learned NOTHING about psychology.

If you have any sort of independence or think for yourself, do not take any classes taught by Madson. You'll pay $80 for a book you cannot sell because there are tear-out pages, and you'll be scrambling to complete busy-work all semester. She is unprofessional and rude. Even the worst situations will not excuse late work. You've been warned.

You are put into groups the first day of class and remain in those groups throughout the semester. Your final grade is group-based. You have to buy an 84 dollar book that you cant sell back because its all tear out worksheets. She is very scatter-brain. She teaches on other things rather than psychology based material. I wouldn't recommend.

Unless you wanna talk about the fact that chlorine turns her on (yes, she discussed this with us during class) don't take her class. She isn't always specific with instructions and when you ask she acts like you're an idiot. The book you have to buy is written by her and doesn't teach anything, much like her. Avoid at all costs if possible.

If you do not go to class, you will not pass. She allows ZERO make up work or anything and does not budge to help anyone, even student athletes. I had to miss class because of my sport and she said I could do everything before but never after and there was soooo much stuff to do before.

Avoid at all costs!!! You learn almost nothing about psychology and you have to teach yourself from her self-written textbook full of pointless busy work. You get put into groups that will be responsible for the majority of your grade so you're out of luck if they suck. The class is structured so badly that you do 80% of the work in the last month.

DO NOT take this class or professor unless necessary. It is group work that you will be forced to do yourself if wanted done right, material primarily learned from unclear readings done at home, and work graded in the most confusing, worst way in which you can never predict or possibly imagine how to save your grade. A ton of work for no reward.

DO NOT TAKE. You will spend hours doing the most pointless homework that you will probably fail because she is such a tough grader. You never know what your actual grade is because of her weird grading until the end of the semester when it is too late to fix. She makes you use her $80 book filled with pointless info and worksheets. Again DONT DO IT

The textbook was one she wrote herself so she did not talk much in lectures. There are lots of group projects and they are heavily loaded (you also need to do so much individual work for the group work to count towards your grade) and her papers are worth a lot. She also uses a lot of tables in all her assignments which do not help much at all.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! If at all possible take with a different professor. You have so many individual assignments that are ridiculously long and time consuming that only count for 2-10 points which it's impossible to receive full credit. Not many lectures. No lectures means spending all class working on assignments with your group worth only 2pts

Literally the worst class i've ever taken. You won't learn much about psychology and you will be forced to buy her book that she wrote. Her GAs that grade are extremely tough graders. The class is based almost entirely on group work (by the way you don't get to choose the group). I would really recommend you take another class & or professor!

I took this class last semester as a freshman and it was pretty bad. Boring professor, not helpful when it comes to work whatsoever, does not allow late work, research credits and most of the work is tedious AF. She makes you buy the book she wrote only to have to end up teaching yourself. Honestly hated this class!

Makes you buy her textbook that she wrote only to find out you can get by without it. Not very respectful at times.

Terrible, almost all the big "exam" grades are group projects done only in one class period where she grades it based on her ownA lot of homework on top of the reading and research credits you'll have to turn in. Her textbook is a book she wrote herself for over $100 which is mostly just worksheets. Most extra credits are 300pg books you must buy.

This course is 90% group work. If you get a bad group, drop immediately!!! If you want a professor who is awful at Canvas, this one is the professor for you. On the bright side, she does give a lot of extra credit. The Textbook is required to pass the class, and it is $100, which she wrote. 2 minute 2 question quiz with lockdown browser everyday.

Terrible professor, the entire course is structured around groupwork. If you get stuck with bad group members, you will FAIL the course. She wrote the mandatory textbook that costs 100+, with worksheets that are graded.

Horrible, didnt lecture, relied heavily on the textbook that she wrote herself. The whole course is group work and is worth the majority of your grade.

90% group work—if you get a bad group, drop fast. Professor struggles with Canvas but gives lots of extra credit. You must buy her $100 textbook to pass. Daily 2-minute, 2-question quizzes with LockDown Browser. Group dynamics and disorganization make this course tough to manage.

Group work is 90% of your grade. If your group slacks, drop ASAP. The professor is not organized on Canvas but gives plenty of extra credit. Her $100 self-written book is required to pass. Daily quizzes (2 questions in 2 minutes) with LockDown Browser add stress.

90% of the class is group work. One weak link can ruin your grade. The professor doesn't manage Canvas well. She gives lots of extra credit, though. Her textbook is required, costs $100, and she wrote it. Short quizzes every day—2 questions, 2 minutes, LockDown Browser.

This professor purposefully drops your grade even if you complete the work. She does not care about the students' well-being in the class and will do anything to make it hard on the students.

If you get this professor, immediately change your professor. You will not be learning anything about psychology. There's work every class, so use the textbook copy at Zuhl don't waste $100 to just fill in worksheets. If you get a bad group assigned you are stuck. However, if you do get her, don't panic just do your work and you will be fine.

Based off group work. Most of the time will not grade properly & has the TA grade a lot of it. Easy lectures & very interesting. But she is not it
