She's a marvelous woman, and a good lecturer... but it's just a pretty hard class. the text reading is heavy and she writes random questions on the test, so you never know what to really concentrate on while studying. She's way helpful on a personal basis too. She's a rad lady.

I HIGHLY recommend her Personal Awareness and Growth class. There is a lot of reading and 6 papers (5-7 pages each), including a book review. But, it was still really cool. Learned lots of neat stuff about myself, love, life and we even had a guest speaker that was a Shaman (sp?). It was great!

May 22, 2006

Her class was great until the last week when we discussed gay marriage. The debate became heated and she was unable to control her own class. People started yelling and threatening each other. She stirred the pot, then embarrassed in front of the class those who had differing views from her own. A terrible use of scare tactics.

Lauren is a very neat and interesting person. However, during our first test, average score was a C-, and that was open book. Only one "A". Second test, average score was a "B-", with no "A's". I'm not sure where the problem is. Like I said, neat teacher, but there's a link missing somewhere. I'd try another instructor.

This was a tough yet titillating course- afterall it is about human sexuality. Some people think they know everything about sex but Lauren Kuhn could teach Heffner a thing or two. I highly recommend Lauren. FYI- taking this class is the perfect excuse to explore sexual concepts (you might have been shy about) with your significant other ;O .

Lauren is amazingly energetic. She makes coming to class a delight. The atmosphere is incredibly comfortable for the semi-sensitive nature of the class, but it's not an easy A. You have to put in a lot of time, and some of the test questions are a bit tricky. You will learn a lot from her though, just don't count on sailing through the class.

Ok, Honestly speaking: I think Lauren is a very neat teacher and person. Her teaching style didn't mesh well with my learning style, so I had to do a bit of adjusting. Not much lecture time, movies are interesting, but not test related, group discussions are fascinating, but not covered on the test, wish she had focused more on course "material".

Lauren Kuhn Is a fantastic professor. This is not an "easy A" by any measure, though it is a very interesting subject, you'll be amazed by all there is to learn about human sexuality :) The tests are difficult, there are questions from lectures, and you won't sail through easily. This class was difinitly worth while. I'm taking 232 next term.

Her class is challenging, in-class lectures aren't related to book and are just for the benefit of the knowledge, yet the tests are centered on the book. I feel lucky to have known Lauren, she's changed the way I communicate and think.

Life development is not the most interesting subject matter. Wish I could have taken human sexuality as a pre-req instead. The text is not discussed in class.

Wow, at first I didn't enjoy this class very much, but by the end of the course it became one of my favorite classes ever. Lauren may rub some students the wrong way, but she's very knowledgeable and knows how to get the most out of her lessons. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE AND EVERYONE TAKING THIS COURSE SOMETIME IN THEIR LIFE.

Lauren is the most amazing instructor I've ever had. I have taken almost every class she offers at PCC. Her classes are not an easy A but you will learn an incredible amount from someone who is so passionate about psychology and sharing her knowledge with her students. GREAT feedback on papers! TAKE EVERY ONE OF HER CLASSES THAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!

Lauren is an awesome instructor. I have had her in three different psychology classes. She is a very compassionate and understanding person. She tells you exactly what is expected of you. And what to expect in each class. Class participation is important, but not mandatory. I personally find her tests very hard, but I was still able to get A's.

Lauren is an awesome teacher and felt more like a very knowledgeable friend who I met with weekly. She made the class environment safe and still challenging. I learned a lot and I would gladly take another class from her. Make sure to pay attention during lectures, read every part of the book(including the little boxes) and ask questions.

This is a tough class because it delves into some really sensitive issues regarding human sexuality. Lauren does an excellent job creating an open environment for self-exploration and discussion. There are a lot of different facets (films, guest speakers, lectures, and group participation) so be flexible and attentive and you will do fine.

Lauren was an amazing teacher, she really takes her time to teach the class. She does all sorts of different things to help the class retain the information, and she is constantly trying to better herself. She does amazing lectures, and really gives stories to help you remember the information better. I enjoyed her a lot.

I HIGHLY recommend taking her night class, she is super invested and knows what she is talking about! The 4 hours classes are tough but Lauren has great lectures and makes your time worth wild. You have to read and pay close attention to her lectures but as long as you do this and complete the 5 assignments you will pass! Great intro class

Lauren is the best teacher ever. I have taken all of the classes she offers at PCC. She is smart, and passionate about Psychology and teaching. It is not an easy-A class, it is necessary to come to class and complete the reading and study for the exams. She also assigns a final paper. She is extremely supportive as well. TAKE HER CLASSES!!

FANTASTIC instructor. AWESOME updated textbook(2016) and info. Knows her stuff, but I felt as though I learned mainly from the book vs the lectures. She WANTS students to come forth if they feel they haven't gotten the grade they deserve, but you REALLY have to work for that A. No grade curve, 4 exams, 1 participation paper & 1 main final paper.

I've had Lauren for two courses now and she is one of my favorite teachers. She is passionate about what she's teaching and expects students to be engaged and willing to learn. Attendance and participation are heavy hitters in her grading, but if you're there, willing to be engaged and turn your homework in on time, you'll have no issues.

Lauren is an exceptional teacher. She has lots of great examples from her professional practice that she applies to the materials to give a real world perspective. I was worried about a four hour night course but it was unnecessary as Lauren kept the class captivated. She is direct, passionate and caring. I would highly recommend Lauren!

If you are interested in Psych and also in changing your life then I would definitely recommend this class. Lauren has everyone face fears and embrace openness in personal essays and in class settings. You will recognize why relationships failed, challenge yourself to be healthy and rethink your perspective on yourself. And make friends :)
