Professional but down to earth! A great intro to psychology. I was in a class of 90 with her, but she really made an effort to connect with us. She babied us a bit, since most people in the class are freshmen. "Don't forget, we have this due!"
Easy class. Professional, enthusiastic and interested in the topic. She was helpful. Tests and papers are easy as well. Babied the class a little as majority was freshman but that made for an easy A. Overall great teacher.
Great teacher! Easy to talk to
Dr. Terry is an amazing professor! She is very passionate about psychology. She makes the class fun and easy to understand. She is very funny and easy to talk to. Dr. Terry is also always willing to help out with an assignments or studying before quizzes. She wants all of her students to succeed and makes it easy for them to do so.
Dr. Terry is a great teacher. She can read the class well, and makes everything easy to understand. I wish she taught all of my Psych classes~
Extremely good prof. very engaged and helpful. Easily approachable and will work through any student concerns. she is very concerned for her students. She still remembered me by name and major on campus after a year and a half and she teaches a foundation course which means hundreds of students. impressive! also had great class activities :)
She is super nice and engaging, I loved going to her class. She remembers everyone's name and is always there to help.
A great teacher! She made going to a morning class not too bad. I also changed my major because she made psych so interesting.
Dr. Terry is an awesome professor. Her class is very easy and the quizzes are easy because she gives out study guides. A lot of fun activities are done during class time.
She is a great teacher. I absolutely loved her.
Dr. Terry was one of my favorite teachers! She is honestly one of the nicest people I've ever met and you can tell she loves what she teaches. Her tests are on the easy side if you go to class and pay attention. She made class fun and she's funny. She is always happy to help.
She has a lot of energy, which I liked because I took her 7am class! She was always ready to go and made her lectures fun. Cool personality
Dr. Terry is a awesome teacher. If you have a chance to get her you should get her!!!! You should take this class because you learn a lot about the brain and how it works! Its crazy how the human brain works!
I took her class at 8:25AM and she was bouncing with energy! Absolutely loves her job and is there for you. Makes her classes fun with activities and a TON of videos. Definitely take her class if possible, you won't regret it one bit.
Professor Terry is a great teacher she engages students with videos and activities. She makes it a point to learn everyone's name, even in a class of 90+ students. She is completely approachable and very helpful. She is one of the best instructors I have had.
Professor Terry is downright amazing! Her class was so awesome, and I looked forward to coming everyday. The tests were difficult, what's new, but her lectures are awesome. The IAs watch for participation like CIA agents on patrol or something, and they'll catch you on a minimized Facebook window, but I loved this class and Dr. Terry so much!
Best teacher I have ever had. Get on her good side- it wont be hard. She is easy to like. She makes for a wonderful reference if you are close enough to her. Lectures are fun, you learn alot in a way that is engaging.
I have Dr. Terry for Psych 102, I have currently been in the class for 8 weeks. I can't get enough of this class, wish I had it everyday. Dr. Terry makes me want to learn more about the study every class and be a better student. If you have the chance to have her, enjoy it! Best class and teacher I have had!
She is very interesting and engaging in lectures. The powerpoint are very useful
I really like her class
GREAT TEACHER. Loved her teaching style with the lectures. Very down to earth and will read through papers and her help is extremely useful. Quizzes are a little difficult, but just study the study guide. Makes psychology very interesting. Makes an effort to know 90+ students. Took the blended class, but it wasn't much different than other classes
If you can get Dr. Terrie DO IT! I loved having her and already miss not having her class! She is really good at explaining things and is just a nice person in general.
Dr. Terry is absolutely amazing! She makes an effort to know each student's name and is incredibly friendly, both as a person and as a teacher. If you pay attention to the lectures, take notes, and do the study guides, you will get an A no problem.
Dr. Terry is phenomenal! I absolutely recommend her. She is very good at making concepts easy to understand and remember, she gives study guides that prepare you very well for quizzes, she is hilarious and makes class fun. She does a lot of group assignments that I actually enjoyed, and was always there to help me succeed. I loved her so much!
Professor Terry was the best professor I have ever had. She was super fun and exciting. She does not just sit there and lecture you, she is a hands-on teacher who does class activities to help you better understand the subject. She always posts her study guides and lectures online, so there is no reason to fail her class.
Professor Terry has been one of my favorite teachers I have had since coming to GCU. She gets so involved in everything she teaches and she adds humor to it. The class truly has fun the entire class period. Expect a lot of group projects, but do not worry they are all easy and a lot of fun.
She's one of the sweetest teachers I've had. She made sure i was succeeding in class and that my social life was doing well. She even told me i could come over for thanksgiving break since my parents couldn't afford to fly me home. she also wrote my thesis statement a couple times so yeah shes pretty rad
Doctor Terry is well loved by all the students that take her class. She is young, or at least acts like it, fun, and exciting. The only problem I had with her, however, is that sometimes it seems like she doesn't take the class seriously. We waste time making jokes and having fun when I just want to learn about psychology.
She was fun teacher and outgoing. The only downside is the group work and that the IA's grade the papers. I recommend her for psychology!
Terry was very helpful and provided good feedback. She provided study guides to help with quizzes. This class is blended, meaning you only have to go to class half of the days. Would recommend getting her for Tuesday Thursday schedule. Quizzes were easy, grading was easy, and made class fun. A lot of group projects and showed videos.
Amazing and interesting lectures. Be prepared for group work. Is very respected by students and is very funny actually. And show up to class on your expected day, for you will regret.
Dr. Terry is an awesome teacher; participation really matters but she keeps her lectures interesting and engaging. The IA I had for her class was a REALLY hard and nit-picky grader but she's always open to help you and read through your papers before you turn them in.
My favorite teacher so far at GCU! Cares about her students. Makes the class very entertaining. Makes students actually want to show up to learn more. Would take her class again in a heartbeat.
Laura was an amazing teacher! If you have an option, pick her for sure! Super chill and easy to talk to about any questions. Doesn't make you look dumb in class either.
Dr. Terry was probably one of the best Professors I've had at GCU. I had her at 825am and it really was an engaging experience to have her lecture. She also let us print out/ use a note card on the tests/quizzes which was great since I would basically print out the whole study guide on both sides of it. Making those helped me memorize + understand.
Dr. Terry is the best teacher I have had so far at GCU. She is very understanding and is more like a friend than a professor. Shes 100% AWESOME.
My class is blended learning which is really hard to learn from but is nice
She's awesome. Great class, even if you're not crazy about psychology.
This class was amazing! I had her for 950 am class and she always made the lectures fun and makes sure everyone understands the information. We engage with others in class for participation and the quizzes are based off a study guide she gives us, and its basically everything that is on the study guide. Highly recommend her, she's awesome!
Terry is my fave prof. of all GCU. She is so nice and compassionate towards all of her students. Even if psych isn't your major, you will learn a lot from and enjoy her class. Its not an easy A or a hard A kind of class. You have to put in some work but overall not hard to pass at all. I've never met a GCU student who didn't absolutely LOVE Terry .
Dr terry is a sweetheart. Gives you everything you need to know about passing the class. Attendance is only mandatory once out of the week, since the second day is a optional blended day to ask questions and work on projects since she loves group work( I never went on blended days). I would take again, I'm going to miss her: (
SHE IS THE BEST! LOVE HER!
The reason Professor Terry was given a 1 on level of difficulty is because she made the material relatable and easy to understand. She is an amazing professor and her IA's for my specific course were even better! They all cared so much about our success and leaving the class after the final exam actually hurt a little bit.
I would recommend her one million times over, she is the reason I enjoyed every moment of this class. She is extremely caring and energetic, she wants her students to do well and gives them every tool and resource to do so! Her class was not easy, it was challenging but she makes it all worth it and you will enjoy her class if you get involved.
Prof Terry is the best teacher I've ever had at GCU. She's super caring and fun and her class was never boring. I had her Monday/Wednesday class and we didn't have to show up on Wednesday so we literally had class once a week. She cares a lot about your grade and is always willing to help. Easy homework assignments. Love her! Definitely recommend.
She was awesome!
Super nice and funny. She makes learning the criteria fun but will make you work for a good grade. Worth it though!
She is hands down the best professor at this university. If you do the work and show up to class, you'll pass easy. Also, her study guides are super super helpful for the quiz, so if you know those, you'll pass with flying colors.
She is honestly amazing!!!! I could not give her the best review on here! She will make you laugh, she will make you feel good about yourself, and she is really caring for her students. She actually cares to know who you are and if you engage in the class she loves that. She is so weird and funny all in a good way. I am without words, she's great!
Dr. Terry is very sweet and outgoing, willing to help anyone with anything. She did a lot of group projects which isn't my forte but i really enjoyed her class because she makes it easy to pay attention. As long as you put a some effort in you'll do fine!
Dr. Laura is amazing! She is funny, sweet, caring, and you can tell she is passionate bout her field. I would definitely recommend her class and I would personal take her class again! She's great :)
Really good teacher overall! She is very clear and has good lectures. Clear grading criteria and grades easy!
No tests, only quizzes that are same exact material as the study guide. All info for study guide is in powerpoint. Loves to work in groups. She is funny and entertaining and the subject of pysch is fun anyway! Easy and fun class! Don't forget to show up!
The class is not hard. Quizzes are super easy as long as you fill out the study guides. Papers are not hard, just beware of the TA grading your paper because it greatly impacts your grade. Terry is engaged with the class, always looking for ways to keep her students attentive. Her blended courses are 10/10, but are also the reason for so much hw.
Dr. Terry is a delightful ball of joy and intelligence. Her kids often came to class, which made us all smile and laugh. Dr. Terry is very caring and you are guaranteed to get 100% on every quiz she gives so long as you learn the study guides she gives you inside and out. The answers are literally on the study guide many times. They are your bible!
Dr. Terry is an amazing professor! The textbook is not mandatory but it is helpful. Attendance is important because there are a lot of little assignments in class that will help you better understand the material. She has a great personality and makes the class very interesting! Do the study guides and you will be fine.
She is a great Professor very lively and always doing activities everyday. I have an A and haven't even looked at the textbook so show up and pay attention to lecture and you should pass just fine.
Dr. Terry is amazing and I would definitely recommend taking her class! She is very interactive and makes jokes to keep things entertaining.
Dr. Terry is an expect in her field of study and the fact that she can easily use outside textbook examples to enhance the learning experience in each subject. She listens to her students and constantly asks for their participation in the sense that is her personal feedback from her students learning curve. I would love to take her class again.
Dr. Terry is great professor! She makes her lectures interesting with videos and ways to bring psychology into todays current society! Her personality is so bubbly and the class is very easy!
I loved Dr. Terry! She is such a great teacher, and her lectures are so full of information and are so interesting and easy to listen to! She makes class fun, and exciting. You actually look forward to going to class. Also, because lectures are so great it makes it easier to study for test and quizzes! She is so helpful and loves her students!
Dr. Terry makes it clear and easy to get an A. She gives you study guides for the quizzes, but if you're like me and never study it's very easy to do well in her class. She's fun and engaging would recommend her as a professor!
Dr. Terry is a great professor! Her psychology class was one of my favorites I've ever taken! As long as you use complete the study guides, and go to class/take notes, you won't have a problem with the quizzes! She usually always puts the lecture slides on LC so they're very helpful when studying and working on projects!
She is the best professor ever, she cares about you and your success caring person. You never get bored in her class, lecture is amazing group work is amazing, She by far the best professor i have ever had.
Terry explains things very clearly and makes the class fun! I would highly recommend her!
Dr. Terry is such a fun and outgoing professor. Her lectures are very fun and she makes them interesting. A good amount of reading but nothing too heavy. Tests are moderate and sometimes gets to use study guides. A lot of group work/activities. Definitely recommend her!
Awesome professor, her class is easy but you have to participate and attend class in order to pass. Study. Study. Study. And take notes! That will help you on the quizzes/tests!
Prof. Terry is a really good professor! She has a loud voice but she is very funny and will give activities to make the class fun. She has blended days so on those certain days, she doens't require attendance but she is still in the room to help assist students who need help on their assignments.
she was always clear and concise on what she wanted done and how to do it and has fun videos to help students grasp the material better.
Professor Terry made Psychology really fun. I highly recommend taking her! Also, if you continue in the Psychology field, you're going to notice that Terry is close with a lot of the upper class professors, which can help you make some new connections.
Dr. Terry is by far the best professor I've had at GCU. She makes every lecture fun and super exciting. You lucked out if you got her for a professor! Just make sure to show up for classes because participation is taken randomly with projects or assessments.
Prof Terry wasn't the worst but I honestly didn't care for her class. I felt like it was a waste of time for the most part, we didn't learn much outside of common knowledge and we would do a lot of dumb group activities when it felt like our time could be spent a better way. Overall she just acts like she is teaching kindergartners.
Enthusiastic and clear
I LOVE THIS CLASS! She is such an amazing professor and truly wants you to pass her class. I had her early in the morning and she made it bearable to get up in the morning. I highly recommend taking her class!
Pretty okay professor. Goes over material clearly, and is informative on what you need to know. Very interactive with students, and open to help when needed. Assignments add up, so don't count on procrastination.
Dr. Terry is such an amazing professor, she really loves what she does and it's evident in her lectures. If sarcasm really isn't your style her humor won't really humor you but she makes the class fun and understandable.
I loved being in her class every single day. She has incredible lectures that make the information so easy to understand and apply. About half of our classes weren't mandatory unless we had a quiz and we did lots of group work. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to take general psych.
Professor Terry is the best professor I have ever had. Show up to class and DO THE STUDY GUIDES and its an easy A. Take her Tuesday/Thursday class because she makes most Thursdays optional as long as you do your work!!! The only people who did bad in her class are the ones who never try. You have to try hard to not get an A. She's so Nice!
Laura Terry helps walk students through graduation. Cares about their future success and provides students with interesting and current information.
Professor Terry is a great lecturer who makes class fun by using lots of videos and activities. The lectures were interesting and the material was very easy to understand. Professor Terry really cares about her students and offers help whenever it is needed. The quizzes were not difficult if you do the study guide she provides!
Terry gives quizzes instead of exams, there are about 1-2 papers in between quizzes - which isn't excessive since there are only 4 quizzes. Her lectures are great and use lots of examples to help remember the topics.
Dr. Terry is by far the best professor Ive had. She uses fun pictures and videos in class to make sure the lectures are easy to follow, and always adds humor to the class. As long as you show up to class and put effort into the projects and quizzes, you shouldnt have a problem getting the grade you want.
I really enjoyed having Laura Terry as a professor. She makes class fun and interesting. I feel like I took a lot away from her class. Show up, take notes if wanted, and utilize the study guides Dr. Terry provides, and you should do great!
Prof. Terry is funny and isn't a super hard grader, but she gives a lot of busy work. Making us create powerpoints, group projects, and videos just for 0.01 of a point. If we don't do them, she takes away participation. She also has yelled and kicked students out of class for talking and being on their phones. Not recommended.
I loved laura Terry, she's great at lecturing without being boring and all of the assignments she gives are pretty easy to complete. I definitely would take again.
DO NOT take her classes. I had her for psychology 101 and could not stand her. She has her IA's grade everything and they mark you down for pointless things. I hated going to her class and she does participation every class. If you can stand her and her annoying IA's then feel free, if not, do not take her as a professor
PLEASE TAKE HER CLASS. I took this class as an elective and I ended up loving it. Dr. Terry is so sweet and really wants all of her students to learn. The students that dont like her are the ones that are on their phones 24/7. She does provide extra easy assignments but thats only because she has blended days and lets you miss class.
Having Dr. Terry as my Capstone professor has been one of the greatest experiences I have had at GCU. She cares about her students, and the work she does. I see her not only as a professor but a great mentor. I know that after graduation I can reach out to her for anything.
Great professor. She provides powerpoints to refer back to, gives you study guides for tests. Real honest and upfront. Don't be on your phone while she lectures but shouldn't be a reason to be on your phone because she's really interesting and entertaining when she lectures. Overall best Pysch professor.
Dr. Terry is an amazing g professor. She is very clear on expectations and provides you everything you need to pass the class. Study guides included!
She is an amazing professor! Her lectures are great b/c she relates it to our lives as students/teenagers which helps me understand the material. The study guides did not really help me that much when it comes to the quizzes so pay attention to lectures!! She assigns a lot of group work so make sure you get to know people around you.
Laura is a great professor who does her best to work with all learning types. Be ready for group projects as well as in-class activities. She makes sure that the class is engaged in every lecture. Do not skip.
Dr. Terry is amazing! Thankful that I had her for my capstone class this semester. She is very respected and gives good advice and feedback for every assignment. Genuinely cares about her students!
Dr. Terry is truly passionate and knowledgable about Psychology. Intro to Psych classes can be super boring, but hers isn't because of the way she lectures. She's super outgoing and always has several activities to do throughout the lecture. All her quizzes are multiple choice and she offers extra credit on them too.
I LOVED Dr. Terry! She actually helped me decide to switch my major from pre-med to Psychology. I gradate next year and I am hoping I get her as my professor for my capstone!! She really made class interesting and fun! If you get Dr. Terry as a Professor you will LOVE her!! She is seriously an awesome professor !
She is a tough grader, but will give you feedback. She is very particular in what she wants to see. She is caring though, she wants to know how her students are doing. She seemed nice, but did not enjoy taking this class online.
Dr. Terry is truly passionate about psychology, so lectures are always fun and engaging. As for things you actually want to know: she is an easy grader, quizzes are easy, and each one has an extra credit question. Downside is that she is strict about attendance, and there is a ton of group work, so beware if that's not your thing.
She is my favorite professor I have taken. She makes lecture fun and interesting! Plus, she assigns homework that is actually fun to do, especially if you like psych. I highly recommend her and am hoping to take more of her classes. You will be happy to have her!
Professor Terry is very caring towards her students, she wants her students to succeed, and has fun and interactive ways to help her students learn. However, she can be incredibly unspecific when discussing her assignments. Her papers are graded by her IA's and the IA's I received in my class graded down on the smallest errors.
Professor Terry is very good at what she does. Teaches from lecture majority of the time. However, she sets it up so that you can complete almost all of the homework in class so minimal amount that has to be done outside of class. Very crafty, you have to make videos, brochures, etc. But overall, good professor for the class.
Extremely kind professor and gives a lot of the assignments to do in class.
This is the first time I had her and I can say she's the best, a solid choice. If you are worried about grading just ask her, she gives clear instructions. I wouldn't take this class online, you'll be missing out. She brings in guest speakers and she lets you do your homework in class when it's on ground. Good Luck!
Professor Terry is amazing, I loved her and she is so nice! She is a super easy grader, I followed the instructions on each assignment and got 95% to 100% on all of them! The quizzes are super easy if you fill out the study guides she gives you, they are basically the same topics that will be asked about on the quiz! 10/10 I would take her again!
Prof. Terry is an incredible teacher! She is very engaging in the classroom and makes sure that her students connect. Her use of the textbook alongside her lectures make the content and coursework easy to manage. She is funny and super kind as well. I would 100% recommend having her!!
Treated her freshman class a bit like kindergarteners. No technology usage in class and would threaten to take your phone away or participation points. However, easy grader and gives you everything you need to pass.
She will teach to all teaching styles. Lectures are long but dynamic and interesting. She is funny and understands college students. There is no technology allowed in class but it's not that bad. You won't have a lot of homework because you do assignments in class. She is an easy grader and quizzes are easy of you do the study guide she gives you.
There was a lot of material to cover but she made it interesting and engaging. She teaches in ways that allow all students to learn the best. Most of the assignments are done in class and quizzes are fairly easy if you do the study guides and are even easier if you go to study sessions.
Professor Terry is so bubbly and outgoing! There wasn't a day that she hasn't said anything to make you laugh! Her personality and humor shines through her lectures, and her class is an easy A. The only thing I disliked about her class is the amount of group works we do. It's a lot, but it works out because she tries to make it fun. She's great!
I had her for PSY-102 and I loved every minute of being in her class. She has such great energy during class and is very understanding of students. We hardly had much to do outside of class besides study for quizzes, but her study guides were very accurate for what would be on quizzes. I wish more professors were like her in many ways.
I took my capstone PSY 495 online, Dr. Terry is great but is not the best at directly answering questions. She kind of just restates what's in the assignment description/rubric instead of being specific so it doesn't really help. Other than that she's a good professor. She knows what she's talking about and actually cares about her students.
Does not give good feedback or answers specific questions, she'll just repeat, word-for-word, the assignment description/rubric. She also requires scholarly sources for every DQ even ones that are literally about our own opinion. Is someone else going to tell me how I feel?! No. She's probably a generally good person but I would not take her again.
Terry is a great choice for PSY-102. Assignments are very straightforward and quizzes/ exams are easy if you complete the study guide ahead of time.
Professor Terry was an excellent teacher and I appreciated how organized she was. She sends out reminders for assignments which is super helpful and creates weekly checklists so you know exactly what is expected of you. I stayed engaged during lectures and the assignments were easy and most of the time really interesting. Take her class if you can!
She was my favorite professor this semester. Very understanding if you turned things in wrong or a little late, she was also fun and easy to learn from. She explains what she wants very clearly on the homework, and is available to ask any questions outside of class during office hours or on Loud Cloud. Would definitely recommend!!
Professor Terry really cares about her students. She was amazing during COVID and dealing with blended classes. If you can take her DO IT!
Professor Terry and her IAs are very helpful, and responsive; if you need help, reach out to them cause they don't want anything more than to help you ace this class. Assignments are relatively easy, and they grade easily as well. Our class was relatively big, but if you make a point to interact with her, she will remember you.
I am a very visual learner, and Prof. Terry not only gave engaging lectures, but also gave handouts of certain tests or theories we were learning which was amazing. She related to all of her students, and is very interactive in her lectures which made the class so much fun and easy to retain information. Don't skip, it worth it to attend class.
Professor Terry cares so much for her students. She does amazing lectures and the group activities are engaging. She does a no technology policy, but that is fine, you actually do not really need any of that because of how interesting her lectures are. Overall, I really like as a professor and would take her again.
I love Professor Terry. It is evident that she really cares for the students. Her lectures are not boring and she makes the class really fun. The assignments are not difficult at all. She makes psychological feel like a breeze. Just pay attention in class and do not be on your phone.
I would definitely recommend getting Professor Terry as your teacher. She is kind, cares about her students, and explains the material very well! Her class is fun, the assignments are fairly easy, and she makes her expectations known. I would definitely recommend her!
Professor Terry is such an understanding and kind person. She is good at giving clear instructions and the work in this class is not difficult at all.
I love her! She is an amazing Professor and I would 10/10 recommend. She truly wants to see her student succeed and gives good real life advise.
Fun and engaging professor. The class was very fun and exciting, always looked forward to it. Tests were online and open note so no reason not to get a 100%. Easy to reach outside of class and all assignments were very clear and she was open to questions about it. If you show up to class you will succeed.
Professor Terry was so kind and goofy. The course itself was easy and she went to great lengths to ensure each lecture was entertaining and simple. The tests provided were exactly what she teaches in the lecture so just need to pay attention and you'll do great! Lots of mini craft projects!
The professor was very caring and was friendly my one pet peeve is that she talked to the class like we were in elementary school. This was the last general I had to take in my Junior year, and just the way she ran the class like we weren't adults was a little much. Other than that I lobed her.
She is really great but be aware she is super loud. Like a 9 AM with her is a bit much. Homework is consistent but always the same format that is easy to get used to. She is super well-rounded in the psychology field and there are no midterms or finals or tests which is so nice. A lot of group work but usually only graded for participation.
Dr. Terry has been a great teacher and makes assignments very clear and easy to understand. She uses inquizitive which I loved. Super friendly and funny as well.
If you are taking PSY101 take her! She is so sweet and her lectures are super fun. By far my favorite class. There are no exams, she makes essays easy to prep for, and she lets class out early almost every day.
She treats everyone like they're a freshman and did not care much about issues some people may find triggering. I did not look forward to this class and I am glad it is over. I would only take her again if I were desperate.
Laura Terry is very good at teaching. She is very intentional about making sure you get something out of her class. While it can be frustrating that all technology is prohibited, even laptops, her class is engaging. There are no quizzes or test in her class which make it very easy to do well and her lectures are very interesting.
This professor is super Nice but I can not stand the way she talks to students like we are in elementary school. It gets super repetitive to hear, but she is very nice. her TAs however are super hard graders.
Professor Terry greatly cares about her students. Her lectures were informational and she made it interesting. She definitely made me think of different perspectives on topics I would have never thought of prior.
Professor Terry is amazing! She truly understands that people have a lot of work from their other classes and works hard to ensure that she does not add to that stress. No tests, quizzes are in Inquizitive and are open-note, done outside of class. She and the IAs are always willing to help students with questions or concerns. Teaches very well!
Amazing professor! Very kind and her lectures aren't boring.
Her lectures are interesting and engaging. She also gives clear instructions on how to get an A on all of the assignments.
I wished she taught more than Psych classes. She understands college kids need a break sometimes and doesn't give out much work. She is real with her class and makes everyone engaged. She is tough on absolutely no technology but she does get her lectures done very quickly. She may sound tough in the beginning but she's amazing.
Dr. Terry keeps lectures really entertaining. There is kind of a heavy work load, however she makes one of the class days a blended day. You only have to go into class once a week. And there are no tests or quizzes for this class. As long as you keep up with the assignments and go to class once a week this class should be an easy A.
Prof. Terry was excellent. her classes were fun and enjoyable to be in. she never kept us in the class for more than an hour and 15 minutes and made the content very understandable. most of the homework is done online and is pretty straightforward. some days were optional for blended assignments. She does take away points if you are on your phone
Professor Terry was such an amazing professor and I enjoyed being in her class. We were never in class for the full class time. She let us go early, and we had quite a few blended learning days on the second day of the week, where we could work from anywhere. Participation matters, but its not too much. Just show up and do the work and you're good.
Professor Terry is AWESOME! She is very interactive with her class and cares about her student's success in and out of the classroom. Get Professor Terry if you are taking any psych-related classes. Do NOT go on your phone during her lectures though. She WILL catch you and immediately take away 10 points of participation.
If you can, take Professor Terry because not only is she funny and makes lectures fun, she also loves her job and wants you to do well. Showing up to class does matter because if you don't, participation will kick your ass towards the end. But, overall, I definitely recommend this professor.
Laura Terry's class is exceptional and she really cares about each student. The lectures are very engaging and overall I am learning a lot. Make sure not to have any electronics out though, and do not sleep. one of my friends got 10 participation points taken off for using her Apple Watch and I got 10 for taking a nap (on accident lol)
Attendance is mandatory for participation, and then on the second day of class most of the time we have an assignment online that you can do in your dorm. Absolutely no phones or any type of technology out, she notices and docks you points. No quizzes or exams only reading quizzes you take until you get 100%. Overall super easy. Textbook is online
Dr. Terry was so helpful with giving feedback or meeting outside of class. She always had a good attitude and she enjoyed being with us.
She's super nice and understanding of students. She gives assignments at the beginning of the week (super manageable), lectures for the first day and then makes the second day optional for questions and workday. She also doesn't give tests, but interactive quizzes each week, not a problem. A good amount of papers and projects but not difficult.
Dr. Terry was very knowledgeable and cared about what she taught. Lots of online work, but the lectures were always very interesting.
My favorite professor so far! Professor Terry was an amazing professor, she teaches her lectures in a way that makes you want to learn more and is so helpful when it comes to assignments. Take her if you can!!
Professor Terry is very nice and engaging. If you are a person that likes to be on your phone she will call you out, not in a mean way but so that you are engaged and learning! Lots of online assignments but you have plenty of time to complete them. No tests or quizzes! Easy A!
Dr. Terry was an amazing professor. She knew what she was talking about, and you can tell she likes teaching. The assignments are fairly easy, just make sure to take advantage of the time she gives you in class to finish the work.
Dr. Terry knows her stuff. While she knows a lot about psychology, in a large lecture, she can come off as rude and pretentious. She HATES technology. So put your phone in your bag to avoid embarrassment. Her IA's do grade pretty harshly. Otherwise, it is pretty hard to not get an A. Follow instructions and ask questions when needed. You can pass.
Dr. Terry isn't a bad professor but isn't the best. Her lectures are long and sometimes boring. I almost ended this class with an A- because participation is 10 points a day. There are no exams, only inquisitive which is super easy because all the answers are on Quizlet. Make sure you go to class and do assignments on time and you'll be good.
She gave really good lectures, but a lot of homework. The homework was easy it was just a lot of work. On Thursdays class was a free period to get done anything that was homework that week. She never kept us past an hour and was always very understanding and sweet.
Professor Terry is an awesome professor and if you pay attention you will get an A. It is lecture heavy and she does pay attention to who comes to class.
I really loved Dr. Terry. No tests or quizzes and he lectures were super meaningful and engaging
I loved Dr. Terry. Her lectures were very interesting and she cares about her students so much. She was my favorite professor this semester. Take her for psych!
Dr. Terry is a great teacher and is so funny which makes her lecture entertaining. She teaches the material in a relatable way to her students. This class has no tests or quizzes which is great so I never had to study. The papers were relatively easy, this class is doable. definitely would recommend taking her class, cares alot about her students
This class and professor were awesome! Dr. Terry is entertaining to listen to, the content is interesting, and this class couldn't be hard if you tried to make it hard. No exams, No notes, No tests. Lecture on Tuesday, assignment on Thursday. There is a quiz every week based on the text book, but you take the quiz own your own time, it's very easy.
Prof terry was a decent, but her IAs were sent to go look for people who were not paying attention to dock them participation. she makes fun of people who are late and yells at students to wake them up. She does not require any notes or studying only papers and an online quiz once a week.
she was honestly so great! some of her IA's were more harsh with grading than her but overall the material is easy and fun to work on. her class was fun but if you're very anti social this may not be the class for you because you will be talking to your peers a lot.
One of the best profs. This was the best class I've ever taken as it prepares you for life after college. You get so many good tips on how to succeed in the outside world. Almost every class there was a guest speaker so you could get jobs with their companies and explore future career options. She is funny and she wants you to succeed. Love her!
No tests or quizzes and prof was engaging and funny in class. Was worried about not understanding the material in a 200 plus lecture class but she made it easy to communicate with IAs and herself for help. Recommend her class
Dr. Terry is amazing! She cares deeply for her students and their success. Her lectures are long and usually take the whole class time, but they are always super interesting. There are a few group projects and showing up to class is super important! There aren't any exams in PSY101 so it's a very easy class. Do the homework and don't fall behind.
Extremely rude and harsh if you make mistakes.
I took her class about 3 years ago and I think she is one of the best professors I have ever had. She made lectures fun and where you actually learned. It was a lot of participation activities which is different than a lot of other classes but I really enjoyed her and her humor.
Overall this class was pretty easy, there are quite a few time consuming papers to do every week but nothing too hard. It was a pretty easy class to get through, I highly recommend this professor for a General Psychology class.
Professor Terry does her job really well. She's really good at giving the lectures, and keeping students engaged within them.
While the class was easy, we were required to go to class every day and for the full class period. When attending class, she was very rude and passive aggressive. She also treated us like we were in middle school. We also weren't allowed any technology at any point and if we were caught using it we lost participation points or were kicked out.
Laura Terry is a fine professor and the lectures are not too heavy, but you are treated like a middle school student and she sends the IA's down the rows like watch dogs. Takes away point whenever she wants. Very passive aggressive and just aggressive in general. A strong hater of technology. No tests or quizzes.
she was a great professor. towards the end of the semester she allows blended learning, so you only have to come to class one day a week. she is very passionate about no technology and will take away participation if she catches you on it. her IA's are willing to help with assignments but they watch the class closely.
While Dr. Terry's lectures are very good, she treats her students like middle schoolers and throws a hissy fit whenever anyone even thinks about pulling out their phone. One of her IA's just walks down the rows looking to dock participation points when someone is on their phone. She's a free A, but she's very passive aggressive. Wouldn't recommend.
Prof Terry is very knowledgeable and good at teaching. Her IA drove me nuts all semester, but Laura herself is good. Attendance becomes optional on Thursdays part way through the semester, which was great. Strict no technology policy - no phones or computers. Lectures are very long but usually somewhat captivating. I would take her again for sure
Professor Terry runs an engaging class, though she has a strict no-tech policy. The lectures are captivating, and she makes the content accessible. Unstuck study was a great study tool alongside the readings. Would recommend this course.
She is an amazing professor; HOWEVER, she thinks that everyone is plagiarizing using AI, even when it hasn't been used. I know multiple people who have gotten serious amounts of points taken off because they just suspected that they were using AI when they were not. It is absolutely ridiculous and completely infuriating. I would not take her again.
At least three assignments a week in class and 2-3 online on zaps. will absolutely not work with you when excusing sick days and her IA is a real tough grader.
Terry is a good professor! She doesn't like technology in her class, but she gives guided notes that can be used on quizzes. She really tries to engage with students in class, and gives a lot of partner assignments. There's lot of writing assignments but they are pretty easy if you follow the rubric. She seems mean but she's actually really cool.
She was my favorite professor of the semester! Prof. Terry teaches wonderfully and as long as you pay attention and write notes, you'll do perfectly fine on the tests. Tests are pretty easy and short, and they're only every other week. She makes her homework due on Friday and not Sunday, so you cant really procrastinate, but it's all easy stuff.
as long as you show up to take notes and you pay attention and do the assignments with care and participate you'll be all good. Dr. Terry was sooo fun with teaching and she made it so interesting amazing teacher overall
Pretty good, but wayyyy too many assignments. It can get overwhelming pretty easy. Also, she takes off participation points if you're on your phone, so be careful if you're someone who loves to be on their phone in class. Her teaching is pretty good though and as long as you take a lot of notes, you should be ok
I don't think she's really aware that all her students have other classes too. Way too much for an 100 class. You won't really have time to do her assignments and other assignments in other classes.
Professor Terry is a solid teacher. Her IA is a very hard grader and will walk down the halls scoping out people who are on their phones looking to dock points from you. The lectures are very long and boring although this is a very basic high-school class. The way the professor runs the class is just overkill for such a basic class.
professor terry was a very good and informational teacher. she's very intimidating but she just truly wants the best for her students. Her IA is pretty annoying tho he's always walking around the rows searching for students on their phones to dock participation pts. lots of assignments but grading is very fair.
I agree with what I saw others saying about how she treats her students like middle schoolers especially about phones! She has a lot of assignments! Doesn't care if u have other classes. She assigned papers during fridays or other week days because she said that we should value her class over all others. She takes all the notes u make during class!
No sympathy when it comes to students' lives If you are on your phone, she will stop class and yell to get off your phones. Where IAs do nothing besides, get a Chick-fil-A during class. Grey is a mall cop and will yell at you if he sees you on your phone, and will take 15% off your grade if he sees you on your phone.
Professor Terry is a great teacher and understands the content she is teaching. Lecture days are so heavy and all you do is sit there and take notes. Her IA stalks around the class looking for kids on their phones and makes it feel like 6th grade. They are not understanding of other commitments you have and will not let you make up tests or points.
Professor Terry lectures for the full class time every tuesday and makes you take notes on a paper that she gives you and makes you turn it in at the end of class. You can't use those notes on your homework or to study for tests. Also, her IA's are very rude. Grey, lurks around the class. Once I asked a question, all of them stared at me,
Terry was fun to have as a professor and was very knowledgeable about psychology. She has a no phone / screen rule which is hard and they will take your phone if they catch you with it. You're supposed to take notes on paper in class. Many of group assignments / projects so choose wisely. Overall, a fun class. IA Grey is sus.
Dr. Terry is an amazing teacher, lecture heavy and busy work but sooo do able. I loved this class, only concern was her IA Grey is a family friend of hers but is very disrupted during class and tries to over run the class. Grades unclearly and it not very helpful.
She was nice enough I would take her class again and the coursework was not insane. Only issue was she was strict about phones, and the IA Grey was rude and thought he was in charge. Attendance and participation was a big deal to her so as long as you show up you will pass.
I wish she was more involved, any time I tried to get help, she would have an IA respond to me, through emails and in person she wasn't involved. she is a somewhat tough grader and participation is earned through assignments. It seemed harsh to write essays and do projects to earn 10 points of participation, but you won't pass without it. Not great
This is a really good class to take. If you just pay attention in class you can easily do well on all assignments.Dr Terry makes class fun and really understands how college students should be taught. She's also hilarious:)
Prof Terry is nice and fun to listen too but she makes us feel like we're back in elementary school with how she treats us. Very strict phone policy and lots of group work and unnecessary out of class activities. Whenever I turn in an assignment, it's never good enough even though I follow directions and rubric, just not worth the stress.
Dr. Terry is helpful and caring, but the workload and unclear due dates made the class challenging. Lectures were long at first but improved over time. Adding all assignments to the class calendar would help students stay organized. When asked for support, she would say, "Do the assignment," or she would have the IA show you. No phone policy.
Bit of an attitude but overall cares about her students deeply and makes the class honestly fun. Very doable class and would reccomend her.
Just show up every week not that hard, u get to use note sheets on the quiz so don't miss them, fit as much info as you can on the paper you'll need it, overall great class
I enjoyed Professor Terry's class! She only gives lectures on the first day of class and then the second class day is dedicated to working on assignments. She is also very chill if you pay attention and don't have phones out in class. Quizzes are also open note and there is a lot of help when submitting assignments!
Professor Terry is very nice and caring towards students. The class was fairly easy considering we got to use our notes on tests. However, a lot of the assignments felt like busy work that didn't help me learn anything and were graded harshly. Overall, I like professor Terry but I feel like I could have taken this class online and done better.
Professor terry is a good professor. Though strict and loud, you learn a ton. The work is easy but in class you will be called out for using your phone or laptop. Every class is a guided note sheet with a lecture but very informative, note sheets can be used on quizzes. The grader is easy and you'll get an A if you just show up and do the work.
She was amazing. Her grading is very easy but it also depends on which IA grades your work. One of the class periods each week is lecture and they are strict about phones but the other class period at the end of the week is used to work in your assignment so attendance is more lenient. Overall the class is super easy with only 4 quizzes.
Prof. Terry is super fun, and this was an awesome class. The first day is lecture-heavy, and the second day usually focuses on an assignment. She provides guided notes for quizzes, but you need to use the online textbook to keep up. Participation is very important. The class can be difficult if you don't pay attention or do the assignments.
Professor terry is the best capstone professor! She made the class fun and engaging, brought in guest speakers, and was overall just so encouraging!
