Horrible teacher. Definitely easy but must sit through a good deal of bs. Careless, selfish, and rude.
SOOO BORIIING! You have to sit through her life story/current life problems and she doesnt teach the material in the process. None of the material on the exams is covered in class.
She is soooo funny! You're on your own for the exams but, the class is definetly interesting
havent learned a thing from her...she doesn't like to show up for class either
If you take her class you will basically know every detail of her sex life from puberty on. It's not very exciting. Nothing covered in lectures is on the tests... it is all from the book.

I know about all of the positions that she has had sex in..it is gross and she provides crotch shots every class..very ****ed
all the tests are directly from the book's website.. attendance was completey unnecessary, but it was a good time in class if you're not offended by her crude behavior

she is a horrible teacher. she doesnt teach at all! her test are hard and she does not go over anything in class. she only talks about her sex life. she does give extra credit which is saving everyone in the class from failing.
She's nuts, don't bother with class except for tests because the tests are on the book which you MUST read. I skipped a good month's worth of class, didn't do the newspaper article project and still got a C. Easy B if you read. Her lectures are bizarre but entertaining if you don't mind vulgarity.
She is a really good professor and very entertaining as well. You'll enjoy her class so if I were you I'd sign up for it.
She's insane! She swears non-stop and talks about her sex life and her lover's need for Viagra. This combined with the speech about how smart she is made for an quite an impression of her on the first day. And she told us she got rid of the extra credit because too many people were passing her class
Yeah she's a little crazy and talks about her personal life often, but overall she is entertaining and easy. She gives good practice tests to you before you take the actual test, and they are right out of the book, no hidden agendas or definitions. Overall, she is okay.
she is a feminist and has only a deep interest on her views and her views only. She doesn't teach in class, all she does is talk about her sex life in which I really dont care for. I learned more about her sexual experiences rahter than psychology.
i there r misconceptions about her.she has strong views & guys r intimidated b/c she's not a pushover.she DOES include her personal life @ times, but its only 2 show she can relate 2 people on a social level.the books she has u read r what the tests are on, & people try 2 find an easy way out by not reading them.i liked her-very nice & entertaining
She knows her sh*t...2 bad she doesn't teach it.U must teach yourself by reading the book, but if not, she gives U all the answers for the last test & drops the lowest test grade.Way 2 much info on her personal life.Reg. cancels classes.She uses coarse lang. & has annoying laugh.

EASY AS HELL
Lauren Perdue is by far the worst professor at CCSU. All I learned about in both of her classes was her sex life. I thought this lady had her PhD...maybe someone should encourage her to use it.
Wonderful teacher. It is like going to a stand up show every class period. This is not a normal class. Instead of learning something that you will forget after the test, you will learn life skills. She is very helpful. If you dont get an A or B then maybe you aren't smart enough to be in college. She gives you the answers.
too much unneeded personal information!!!!
too much unneeded personal information!!!!
Yes she does talk alot about her own sexual encounters, but that just shows that she is a comfortable person with herself and her body. shes a good person as well as a good professor.
Goes off on tangents a lot. Don't need to go to class like, ever. But overall, it was an easy class, easy tests and only 1 3 page paper.
class is easy but she is so gross
the best professor i have ever had. she has the guts to say what she feels and that is what its all about. so what if she adds too much personal info. if people dont like that then they shouldnt take the class
i think its great that we have a professor that is able to speak her mind to the fullest. just for that i give her 5 all around. im aldo and im a senior, she might not be liked by many but if they dont like her then they should drop the course or deal with it. in life there are a lot of people who have different opinions and that is that. she is honest and that is more than i can say for a lot of people.

She is the type of professor that every university needs! I love her class and look forward to taking her again. She is definitely open about her personal life, but the class puts me in a good mood so I don't mind!
great prof, one of my faves. very interesting ,funny, easy tests, good reviews in class, interesting subject matter. makes time go by quick.
I did not learn anything from her, i read the book and did good. She is easy, but very unorganized. Classes are always interesting, she is very very open about her life-she is very out spoken.
class is easy but disgusting. congratulations on her pregnancy!
Interesting to say the least. Exams are average in difficulty. Study the practice exams and won't be as hard.
went to one class, took all tests during final, got A, she is nasty but easy
You people are f*cking morons. It's a class about HUMAN SEXUALITY, WTF DID YOU THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT? Cooking??? If you take a class about sex and proceed to call it and the professor "gross" and "nasty", you're immature little dumbass kids. Grow up. I'm taking this class in the spring and glad that none of you idiots are in it.
If you want an A take this class. Before all tests she gives a study guide and provides a website for additonal study help. All those questions are on the tests, so every question on the test you have already seen. She also lets you redo all your tests if your unhappy with your grade. Very fair grader
she's a little out there, but cool. easiest class ever! congrats to her about her pregnancy!
She's is certifiably crazy, yet thats what made her interesting. She missed 8 classes during the semester which is a pain if you have to drive into school. Doesnt take attendence so dont worry about showing up. Do the practice tests and youll do fine on the real one.
Interesting class...learned alot...taking her again for human sexuality and it is also very interesting
where does ccsu find these people? there was never a dull moment in class...but...a lot of unnecessary info was included...i never wanted to learn about her incarcerated ex, how she likes egg mcmuffins, or how she loves anal sex. thanks but no thanks
she's awesome, she wakes you up in the morning. you want to take her laugh and record and play it over and over, its hilarious, she skipped more class than i did! read the book. do practice tests. some of the test questions had to be pulled out of someones ass because the answers were not found in the book or in lectures. very fun class though. :)
Alright. She's crazy. She pissed me off alot at first because all she talked about was her daughter and her boyfriend and feminism and guns in New Britain High... but hey it's kind of entertaining. She skips class alot and is often late. It's definitly an experiance.

I'm not one to talk crap about others, but she was nuts. I couldn't stand the class so I barely went. Somehow I got an 85 on every single exam, I think she just picked a number. I ended up with a B+, my lowest grade of the semester. She cancelled class a lot. I don't understand the practice exams..there was 1 question from it that was on the exam?
No Comments
Loved going to her class, her stories were out of control. Loved her class she made it so interesting and no attendance policy. Definatley take her psych class.
She got tough this semester. Now she takes attendence, assigned a 10 page term paper, and will not give makeups for any reason. If you read and show up to class you will do fine, although most of her lectures are about her sex life, and have nothing to do with the material on the exams.
She's a little crazy but take her, its an easy class..you don't need to go to class, she takes attendance the 1st week, and then maybe once a month after that. She does talk about herself, and her daughter, but its really not that bad. Her exams sometimes identically match the study guide she hands out the class before!!
please remember CCSU is a mans university she is working in a non feminist environment she is real down to earth and had a hard life which is real
she will do anything to make you laugh. overall pretty easy. in order to do well on the exam you need her study guide! during class all she talks about is her own sex life and her daughter. and how she loves condoms. Overall easy class though, not bad, easy A
Talks about useless things like her family, teaches very little, Nice lady, kinda psycho, but her class is ver easy
what the hell do you mean CCSU is a man's school you idiot, there are more woman than men attending
GREATEST TEACHER AT CENTRAL, if you like easy exams, funny ass classes, and a teacher who will be late more then you then this is the teacher for you. anyone who disagrees is an imature prude pansey...
She was different..that's for sure. but i actually think she deserves more credit than what people say of her. shes nice, and her exams are fairly easy. however, my one gripe is that you have to teach yourself the material.
Wow! Absurd comments and discussions! Lets just say, boredom is never the case in this course. You will hear some things you never wanted to know. Kick ass class over all! No stress involved!
Fun class, very very easy. Doesn't take attendance, talks very openly about sex and her sex life and partners. Definitely not for the prude. Learned a decent amount, instructor cancels class and is frequently late.
I had her for social psych. The class was a joke, you never got your tests back. ever. you will recieve a NR for your final grade, beacuse she does'nt even record them to the registar. I would not reccomend her at all, and would never take her again. I can honestly say that class was a waste of time and money, she is a horrible professor.
If she's not late, she cancels class. Says offensive things about many different people, and blatantly doesn't give a crap about anybody. You won't learn a thing, since she uses the class to get on her soapbox about issues vaguely related to the class. When she does lecture, though, she takes her facts straight from the textbook.
She is kind of spastic. The class is easy and she tells you exactly what is on the exams. She took attendance the first day only. She is late a lot and cancels without an email or anything. I would recommend this class if you need to get your gpa up. Easy A. Somewhat interesting but you don't really learn much about the subject. Just her life.

She is disgusting. Hands down. She doesnt teach social psychology, but uses the class as an opportunity to talk about her sex life. She says things I have never heard anyone say. It's gross and indescribable. She doesnt care if she offends you, and doesnt want to hear what you have to say. DO NOT TAKE HER.
You can expect what other people have said...and you do need to teach yourself the material from the book...she is a really smart lady though and she's nice and funny...if you teach urself and study it can be an easy a but if you really need to grasp concepts and have them explained, don't take her. i'm overall pleased but not everyone
Very different teacher. Four tests, not cumulative, gives you tests from last semester as study guides. Doesn't always talk about social psych but time passes quickly, any questions she's willing to answer. Some people don't like her because she goes off topic but I think it was pretty funny. If you miss a test, no big deal, as long as she has 3 te
teacher missed class twice, talks about personal life more than teaches. acts very unprofessional and swears in class. If you want a traditional teacher she isnt the one to take or even if you want to learn. tests are pretty easy
She is a great teacher!! I highly recommend her...class is never boring..tests are fair
As long as you can deal with a professor who isn't as professional than others, then you will love her. She is easy, entertaining , and you do learn. Easy grader.
Says some shocking things but she is great. I enjoy the class. Learning is most fun when it's told in a story. She does that I remember almost everything she says. I would take another class with her any day! You actually do learn something. Just be ready for some crazy stories! :)
If you are looking for an entertaining Social Psych course this woman s for you. If you like a traditional learning environment find another professor to take it with. She is not a traditional kind of person. She has strong personal views. She has a wealth of information to share. Smart woman. Gives study guides before test. Gives extra credit work
One of the worst professors I've had at Central. She told us information in class that was totally contradictory to what the book said. I didn't think I would mind how vulgar she was but she just said things for shock value and it was disgusting. Class was relatively easy but make sure you read the book since some of her lectures were pointless.
Took her class this Spring. I would take another class with her again. I enjoyed learning from her. She made the Social Psych interesting. She's not boring.
If I could pick a professor to teach all subjects in psy it would be her. She is hilarious, super smart, and very helpful teacher. I was in a terrible head on collision and she made making up the work so easy and obtainable!! <3 Her!!!!
FUBAR... off topic all the time. never lets you speak. if you have any views she does not agree with your SOL, she WILL lower your grade, simply because you dont agree with her. i had to lie about my views to get an okay grade. if your wicked liberal you will love her. if not DROP ASAP if you care about your GPA.
I had her for Social Psych and Human Sexuality and I am also her research assistant. This woman makes class fun, she is passionate, and gives you life lessons as well book smarts. You can talk to her about anything and everything. She will always have a place in my heart.
She is HILARIOUS! She graded her tests very harsh, but her class is worthwhile. She does into great detail about her sex life, so this class isn't for the faint of heart. I would recommend her, you don't regret taking her!
Love her!!! :) More professors should take a lesson from Dr. Perdue!
Went over information well and was very active during class. She goes deeply into her sex life and problems that are going on within her life. Its an easy A, but sometimes the class is not even on the information you need to know, but about her.
Perdue is 1 in a million. She is funny and you will never forget her laugh or stories. The crazy thing is I learned a lot from her. Exams are easy and usually take home essay. I took her for 448, 390, 372. Some might find her unbearable with the language she uses but i suggest you get your head out of your ass.
Dr. Perdue is one of the only professors in this school who care if you succeed. Talk to her, get to know her, tell her about your issues...she will accomodate your needs.
I enjoyed her class. She does get off topic, but I didn't mind because it made the class and material more interesting. I don't understand why people write so negatively about her, all I have to say is: it's college and we're adults. She's very knowledgeable on Social Psych and I overall liked this class!
She is an ok professor but she is very obnoxious and her laugh is kinda scary.she gets into students' faces when she is trying to make a point or reenact something so try to avoid the front seat. Tests are take home so you can use the book and its pretty easy but very long.she curses a lot and talks about her personal life all the time.
Great Professor! Best class (Psych of Women) I've ever taken throughout my entire college career!! I wish there was a "Part 2"! It is Dr. Perdue's delivery of the material that make this class so great. REALLY,REALLY SMART, great sense of humor and a kind heart, take her class, it's a great experience! Yes, I sat in front, no she didn't bite me!
Great teacher that makes you actually think, not only about the lecture but about what's going on in our society and the world. Can be a bit boisterous at times but I think she's doing so to get people's attention.Come to class, take notes, read the text, you'll walk away learning alot.
I took her for social psychology she is sweet and outgoing. she'll help you a lot if you need it, but get ready for a weird, but awesome teacher her class is easy i barely opened my text book. whatever she goes over in class is on her tests and she'll let you know whats on it the class before. TAKE HER!!!!
Dr. Perdue is a real person. Very honest and interested in making sure you understand that life outside the classroom isn't gum drops and lollipops. I love her grit and her approachability. She gives many first hand examples and her laugh may startle you, but she is fabulous. A very very smart Professor.
If you have a choice, do not take her. People say she is "honest" but it's more like disrespectful. Its her opinion or nothing. Her tests aren't easy and I end up teaching myself because she talks in class instead of teaching. She does have makeups if you miss the test though. attendance is not mandatory. I never look forward to this class. :(
Very easy class. Attendance is not mandatory but if you sit in the front row and are absent she will remember your face and wonder where you are. She's very accommodating to those with disabilities. Gives a make up exam session at the end if you miss the one in class. Get ready to hear about her own sex life..
She is the least conventional professor I have ever had. She is fearless in sharing her opinions and experiences. She's an incredible person to learn from. If you're a young woman looking to be inspired to "stick it to the man", take this class. Not a hard class if you can articulate your opinions and are a good reader.
This professor is not clear about her expectations AT ALL. All of her exams are take home and you will not learn anything about the material in class. Use the book to find the answers. She clearly hates men and fights stereotypes about women using stereotypes about men. Avoid this professor at all costs. She is petty and spiteful in her grading.
Dr. Perdue has her good moments but I would avoid her if you have the chance! She is super opinionated and shoots down others opinions before they even try to share. Very intimidating, does not like to answer many questions and rarely answers emails. She does allow for make up exams. The study guides she gives don't help much. Read the book!
I was so hot and cold with this class. There were some days where she actually taught the material and other days where she just rambled on about nothing and made me wish I'd have stayed home in bed. She can be pretty funny and sometimes her lectures were interesting.
I honestly have trouble coming up with how to describe her as a professor. She's disorganized, off-topic, irrelevant, and even contradicted the assigned textbook material often enough for it to be an issue. However, I barely showed up to class, never bought the book, took all her tests at the end of the semester (she allows "makeups") and got an A.
Worst professor at CCSU. Avoid her if you can.
Worst professor at CCSU. Avoid her if you can because you won't learn.
AVOID HER. doesn't teach at all, only gives 3-4 tests that are multiple choice, the only way you'll pass those is by reading the book because she doesnt make powerpoints or write notes. rambles a lot, class drags. withdrew out of this class, never taking a class with her again.
Dr. Perdue is the worst professor i have ever had. She does not teach well, at all. The only grades you get for the class are 4 exams (including the final) and the wording of the exams is difficult to understand. Very awkward teacher and she doesn't care about the students. SWITCH IF YOU CAN!!!!!
She is a great person, funny and personable. But, she can't teach. You'll be happy if it's just a ge class, but if you're a psych major you'll be disappointed about how much you don't learn. It's an easy A though.
I didn't buy the book because she wasn't here for the first week of classes. Ended up with a B- and I don't normally get B's. She does not teach, she reads. 4 tests, all multiple choice. Last 2 tests she gave study guides because no one was passing. She's pretty out-there and rambles a lot. May have done better if I bought the book but unnecessary.
Absolutely horrible. Does NOT teach at all. Class is a waste of time. She just reads the powerpoints out loud to the class. Never learned anything from her, just taught myself everything with the book. If you read the book you'll be fine for the exams. /If you can avoid taking her then do, bc social psychology is very interesting, just not with her
easy A for sure, administered the wrong exam twice to us. still made us take the correct exams. I'm sure she lost exam 2 because we still haven't received our grades & the semester is about to end. Gets off topic, definitely didn't feel like a 400 level course. She is a nice lady and accepts late work. 4 Exams; mult choice & one paper.
Dr. P is an odd character but overall Psych of Women is very easy. The class consists of 3 or 4 take home exams, and no homework or quizzes (very easy). She will go off on a tangent for hours if you let her.
DONT TAKE HER. She is extremely unprofessional, talks about personal life in class A LOT yet still expects you to somehow learn materials and take tests on them. Basically a huge waste of time and money. Tests are confusing and unclear, will tell you you're wrong when you question her. Have to teach yourself basically.
