I took her class in the summer, she cut down the course in half, and at the end she ups your grade somehow. I got a B on the midterm and had to do worse on the final, and my final grade was an A-. She's interesting, and you will learn.

this class is interesting and fun. stevens tests are really easy since she gives u a review and some of the questions on her tests are repeats or they are worded in a different way but has the same answer. i recommend her bc even though this was a 300 level class she made it easy and she wasnt very strict about it. shes funny and sarcastic.

Prof. Stevens is the most hilarious, energetic, & in your face professor you'll ever have at QC!

Probably the best teacher at QC. She is easy, caring, funny, smart, impactive, and definitely a hot tamale! She will even throw a curve if needed, and will occasionally let class out early. You will hear the best stories from her. You will learn so much from Stevens that you can't ever forget. Time flies w/ her. She is the ideal teacher in my book.

Well I agree with most of people on what they said about the teacher but my experience was somewhat different. This teacher in general was good and enjoyable but when it comes to exam don't ask me how she makes the exam key that you end up getting lower than what you expecting even if you knew evrything on exam and as a result I end up getting B+

She keeps going on and on about how her tests are so easy so I didn't study for the first one. Bad idea. You need to study, but not tons. You also don't learn tons of psychology, but since I'm not majoring in psych, that's ok. If you are she may not be the best. But on the up side, she's funny and easy- we don't get too many of those teachers!
