She was the best teacher i have had at UTC, she tells you what is on the tests, they are multiple choice and essay that she tells you and you memorize. She also gives lots of extra credit. She is really bubbly and always starts the class with a laugh. She posts notes up. All you have to do is look over the self tests online and take notes. made an
She is incredible. I have never had a professor with so much energy. She makes me laugh throughout the entire class and yet she is also extremely clear. She tells you exactly what to write for the essay portion of the test. Psych is a lot of memory, but she breaks it down well. I definitely suggest taking her class!
I absolutely loved her class. She is down to earth and loves people to be involved. I would recommend her to anyone. She is a lovely person and easy to work with.
She has a wonderful sense of humor!she was so fun and an 8am class, you need a teacher with energy!She loved psychology and made it fun to learn!study for her test and be sure to study atleast TWO essay questions.She gives you the answers, you just have to study them!I did make a mistake of only studying one essay...terrible idea!GREAT TEACHER!
love her! she's funny, helpful, nice. everything a professor should be! she gives lots of extra credit opportunities. posts the notes online. although i really recommend attending otherwise you miss EASY extra credit opportunites and great lectures. take her class!
She's good, just make sure you study.
Awesome professor with a sense of humor! She makes Psychology fun. Easy class if you actually attend and do the readings. Anyone thinking about taking her class should.. it'll be worth it!
Not a piece of cake, but not killer either. Not for the lazy. Must read the book! And go to class to get the essay topics/answers. Her humor makes the class more enjoyable, but i mean it's a gen. ed. Not too exciting. No final if you take all three exams throughout semester. Offers lots of extra credit. I'd recommend it.
She's a funny professor. Very entertaining. Uses PowerPoint and teaches effectively. Study for the exams and you will do fine, but if you don't study, you're screwed. She's helpful and gives a good bit of extra credit.
Awesome teacher! She made going to class at 8 AM worth it. She teaches great and practically gives you the answers for about 70% of the test! Loved her!
I ADORE HER! She is so much fun and interacts with the students. You do have to study, but to me the material was interesting to study. You will make an A if you pay attention and she gives you answers for the tests through online quizzes and the book and also answers the essay questions, which are 50% of your test grade. TAKE HER! I LOVE HER!
She was awesome. She's funny, she loves to joke, but she's also a great teacher. She offers a crap ton of extra credit, although her tests can be a bit difficult. Show up to class, and do what she tells you to do, and you'll do fine. I enjoyed her class and got an A, she's a good one to have. I learned alot
She's amazing. So helpful and understanding. She's hilarious and she makes class fun. She's definitely the one to take.
She's a wonderful teacher. She really knows what she's talking about and I would recommend anyone to take her. She cares about her students and makes things understandable. You just have to study exactly what she tells you to study and you are guaranteed a high grade. I LOVE HER.
I LOVED taking her class! Highlight of my college career so far! I would take it again. She really wants to know each student and she makes you think outside your comfort zone. She's a must-take teacher!
The best teacher I've ever had at UTC, besides David Ross. She knows her material and she's extremely helpful and wants you to pass. I made an A in her individual difference class and it was awesome. You cannot be a psych major and pass up the opportunity to be taught by her.
I absolutely loved this class! She's incredible! Super intelligent, loves to joke and make class fun, and genuinely cares about each student. Tests are relatively simple. She will give you answers to essay questions prior to the test. Just read the chapter and pay attention and you should do fine. I can't recommend her enough! Adored her!
This is my fav professor at UTC! I made her my advisor and I am currently enrolled in another one of her classes!!! She is an AWESOME teacher and cares about her students in and out of class!!! Her class is interesting and she explains the subject matter very well!
Best professor I have had so far. She is interesting gives you a chance for extra credit.I would sign up her again as a teacher.
Great teacher. Tests are easy if you prepare. She gives you the answers to the essays.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!! I ADORE HER!! Ms. Byers helps all of her students succeed in her courses. If you want to make an "A", I suggest you take her for any class she teaches. Positive Psychology is the the best course ever I have taken at UTC!! This course will change your life and make you happy every class meeting. Everyone should take her!!
Mrs. Byers is my favorite teacher I've had so far. Class is fun and pretty easy- she doesn't even assign reading from the book. Pay attention in class and study her powerpoint notes and you'll be fine!
Warning to males taking this course. Let go your predetermined views of the world and let the individual differences amongst men and women fill your heart. The first few days might feel like she (and the females in class) are out to get you, this is not the case. (though the classmates might) She is very well rounded and thinks critically. A+ class
Such a fun, entertaining professor. She makes class enjoyable and encourages discussion. Two tests, two event summary papers, several random assignments and discussion posts, and a class presentation. Definitely a great class and a great professor!
Professor Byers is great. She is very thorough with her lectures, makes class fun/interesting (even at 8 am!), and gives up to 21 points for extra credit. The tests are a little challenging because there is so much information to study and remember, but they are completely multiple choice, so that makes them a little easier. I highly recommend her.
Professor Byers is FANTASTIC! I have taken as many lower level Psych classes with her as possible even though I'm not a psych major. She is intelligent, hilarious, passionate, and caring for her students. Her lectures are awesome and she keeps it fun. TAKE HER! Even if you're not a psych major, I promise you'll love it. Best at prof at UTC no doubt
She is so much fun. She usually uses the entire class period but she makes it interesting and interactive. If you go to class and pay attention it is hard not to get an A. Plus she gives tons of opportunities for extra credit. TAKE HER! I have had her twice and would take her for every psych class if I could.
Professor Byers is a wonderful teacher.!She will take time with you before your test to talk about what is going to be on it. She wants all her students to do well and is very helpful!
Great professor! Very helpful and wants her students to do well in her class. She gives extra credit and make the class fun. I highly recommend her.
Byers is awesome. She is interesting and the tests are straight forward. She has 2 likable projects. Her class is one you won't complain about. She has homework assignments that take 30 mins and won't always remind you though. Loved the class.
Great teacher! I'd take her for every class. Tests are multiple choice. If you go to class you'll do well. You'll learn a lot without having to put a lot of time into it. No busy work!!
One of the better professors UTC has. Makes the class fun & there were a lot of laughs throughout the semester. 3 tests, pretty easy if you study. 1 project that was actually really interesting, basically a survey & write a short paper on it. 1 or 2 homework assignments weekly, usually a short reading & like 3 ?s at the most. Definitely take!
SHE is awesome !! TAKE LIBBY guys you will not regret it !! The lectures are extremely clear and interesting and she knows how to teach. I took her freshman year for intro to pysch and then again junior year for individual differences. the work is easy, all you have to do is study. if you study you will definitely get an A !! she is hilarious also
She has been one of the best professor that I have had. She makes class interesting and always has opportunities to help out, get extra credit, etc. I honestly looked forward to the class. You do alot of reading and little homework assignments, but it is not bad. The tests were relatively easy and she doesn't believe in finals :) She's awesome!!!!!
Professor Byers is an amazing professor. She is very passionate about this subject which is shown through her lectures. She gives you everything you need to know for the exams, so if you study, you'll pass easily. She makes sure to incorporate discussion and stories into her lectures to make them more interesting. I am definitely taking her again!
Byers is so much fun in class and her tests are straight forward. Questions are really general. So just take all the notes she writes on the board, print off the power points, and you'll be fine. Take her for whatever you can. Easy A.
She is the absolute best! Want to learn? Take her. Psychology of Women was an incredible class for both males and females. Take it.
Easy going teacher. Does her best to help you. Does not except late or makeup work. If you show up and participate in conversation it is an easy A.
Professor Byers is Amazing. She is so sweet and funny and really keeps everyone's attention. She is super helpful and is ready to give any advice to help with your studies that you need. Her lectures are clear and she really tries to get the class to participate. I highly recommend.
Byers is the best! Highly recommend this class. As long as you go to class & look at your book to review the topics in the lecture slides, her tests are a breeze. She gives homework occasionally (weekly at the beginning of the semester then occasionally at the end). There is a research paper at the end of the course, but it's not bad at all.
I love Libby Byers. I had her last semester for Individual Differences. She is always willing to help and keeps her lectures interesting. She knows what she is talking about and I actually enjoyed going to her class. Definitely recommend
I absolutely loved Professor Byers. She has to be one of the best professors here at UTC. She made individual differences interesting and I actually looked forward to her class. I don't care what other classes she teaches, I would take them to have her as a professor again.
Byers is amazing, I took her for individual differences and got an easy A but also learned a lot. She's funny in her lectures and helpful if you have any questions. She gives about one homework assignment a week but she pretty much just grades for completion and it's just your opinion. The tests are pretty straightforward and the one paper is easy.
Awesome professor!! I would suggest taking any class that she offers. She is very inspirational and encouraging. By far, one of my favorite professors. Just take her classes!! You won't regret it!
Professor Byers is so amazing!! She gives several extra credit opportunities throughout the semester that are simple, like attending events on campus. Participation is a grade, but she makes it easy to participate in class. Her tests aren't easy, but if you go to class and read your notes before it you'll be fine. If you try it should be an easy A.
Libby Byers is amazing. She makes lectures so interesting and engaging. Shes also very funny and genuinely cares for her students. If you have the opportunity to take her classes, you definitely should!
Professor Byers' class was one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. Her lectures are always engaging and many times are entertaining. She cares about her students and takes her job seriously. In her psychology class, I did poorly on her first test because I did not study. If you study and show up to class you will do well.
Professor Byers is lecture heavy, but PowerPoints used in class are always posted and additional study supplemental resources (I.e. optional practice quizzes) are provided. She is really funny and will for the most part work with you. I would recommend taking her class for the gen ed psych requirement. Also, she provides a FREE textbook.
Professor Byers is awesome! She is lecture heavy, but power points are provided online as well as extra resources (including a free textbook and practice quizzes). She truly wants her students to succeed as long as you want to put in the work. My only beware is that the tests cover LOTS of material, but all of the resources you need are provided.
AMAZING! Her lectures are captivating and actually makes you enjoy learning about the stuff. There is no homework, and she gives lots of extra credit opportunities. Just watch out for the exams! They are all 50 questions and are relatively hard! Study over a long period of time instead of cramming if you actually want a good grade in the class.
Byers is great. The textbook is online and free. She uses ways to get us interested during lecture. lots of extra credit opportunities. Do the online quizzes, they help with the test (basically the tests are made directly from them) You get 5 free skips before she alters your grade. Show up to applications. Easy A.
I loved Professor Byers. Always had fun and interesting lectures. Gave lots of extra credit opportunities. Four total tests, and optional final. No phones/ computers allowed in class or she would give a "pop quiz" or dismiss you. I would for sure take another one of her classes.
Overall a great professor!! The class consists of 3 exams, and an optional/make-up final. She does in class applications throughout the semester that you just have to show up, and do to earn. One of the most caring professors out there. Definitely would take again!!
Professor Byers is amazing, she gives you prep guides before every test and if you know them well you will do great. She also gives MANY extra credit oppurtunities for a grade booster. She doesn't let you on any electronics during class but its only to help the students focus. Can be very stern but she means well. Would absolutely take again.
Honestly one of the coolest professors ever, but her teaching is all over the place and her tests ARE SO HARD. You can do the practice quizzes and it helps a lot, but there's just so much information and only 3 exams. If you're good at remembering things you'll be fine. If not get prepared to be in the library the whole week before the exam.
Professor Byers always has very interesting lectures and is very friendly to all of her students. There is essentially no work outside of class except for studying. Tests are not easy, but she provides a lot of extra credit opportunities if you attend class. She posts test guides and practice quizzes that help with the studying.
My absolute favorite teacher at UTC!! Shes so fun and interactive. Easiest A ever, the practices quizzes help SO much too!!
Professor Byers is the best! Her tests are so easy if you study and she also gives a lot of extra credit!! Youre graded on like 13 things that are done in class, so attendance is a must! TAKE HER!
Overall I loved Byers! She is an amazing professor and makes her lectures entertaining. I struggled in the beginning, but she provided multiple opportunities of extra credit to help my grade. If you attend the class, do the readings, and actually put forth the effort you should do fine in the class. She makes you work for it, but it's worth it.
All you need to do is go to class and study, she gives out PLENTY extra credit opportunities so you shouldn't have lower than a B. I studied the day before or the day of and took good notes in class and made above a C on all of them. Come to class on application days it adds up. The only thing is she HATES phones and will kick you out of class.
I would 10/10 recommend taking her, she truly will help you to the best of her ability to pass the class. She was one of my favorite professors.
y'all this woman is a SAINT. She makes her lectures enjoyable, she gives plenty of extra credit, and she provides every opportunity and then some to help us out. Her exams are difficult, but if you pay attention and GO TO CLASS you will be fine. She bases grades off of many assignments, so do your work and you'll be fine. Would 100% take her again!
Honestly, this was such a good course! The first test was really difficult (it was all of the history of psych) and I thought I was going to do poorly in the class. But, she offers extra credit and gives tips to pass. Read the online textbook (totally free!), take her online practice quizzes and go to class. She is so sweet and knows kids by name
One of the best teachers I've ever had. You need to take her class! She made the lectures interesting and she's so funny. No electronics but you will not be bored in her class. Take notes and STUDY a week before the test! Don't cram!! Trust me it's easier to break it up and study for a couple days instead of 8 hours. Sweetest person ever!
Mrs. Byers was not a bad teacher. Although, her class was information-heavy, and her tests were 50 questions. I had to study for tests a week in advance to receive an A. I spent a lot of time preparing for exams and I would suggest studying reading quizzes.
I loved her class. You were allowed to miss 5 days. I recommend that you study a few days before the test. I only studied the quizzes and got a 90 on all the test. Overall, she was a great and very interesting teacher.
I liked Professor Byers, but her exams are difficult. She throws in specific questions that are difficult and hard to make an A. She gives 10 points of extra credit which are easy to obtain if you just go to class. There is no homework, but exams are difficult if you don't study frequently.
She is amazing. If you are struggling with anything, just ask for help and she will help you. She gives you up to 10 extra credit points that you can earn all throughout the semester. Her tests are a bit difficult, but if you study ahead, read the textbook, earn the extra credit and participant in class, then you will be fine. 10/10 recommended.
Professor Byers has by far been my favorite professor. She is very accessible outside of class, her lectures are fun and helpful, she's a super easy grader if you actually do what she asks you to and she's clear on what that is, and she gives you plenty of opportunity for extra credit. I would 100% recommend her!
All the work given is very well explain and you will always know what she expects from you. Most assignments are done in class besides test. Lots of extra credit offered. Attendance is a grade but we only meet once a week, so it's not bad. I recommend her. Just go to class and do your work and you will pass with an A.
She post multiple chapters of powerpoints each week but they have videos and their under 5-10 minutes. Tests are on quizlet, really interesting class and you can tell she cares about everyone and shes passionate about psychology. Great class I wouldnt want any other professor!! 10/10 recommend easy A
Professor Byers made psychology so much fun to actually learn about. The exams are based strictly off of the powerpoints and lectures so as long as you listen you'll pass. She is extremely helpful and actually cares about her students! If you need to take intro to psych take Professor Byers!
Maybe the best teacher I have ever had! 10/10 experience in her class! Exams are very well explained before so you can feel prepared!
I loved this class! Libby is a really great teacher! You will have to read the chapter assigned if you want to pass because some of her test questions are very specific! She also gives quite a bit of extra credit and you will know exactly what you are going to be doing each week. She is straightforward and wants to help as much as she can!
Absolutely the best professor! She will help you anytime you need and the information is actually interesting. She gives 10 points of extra credit throughout the semester and the extra credit assignments are easy. You have to go to the classes to receive points for in-class assignments but they aren't just boring lectures. Definitely take her!!!!
Shes very patient with her students, and explains ideas in detail.
My favorite professor yet. Easy class and so many extra credit options.
I literally love Professor Byers. She was a great professor for my first semester of college. Show up to class and you will pass with an A, if you're falling behind she gives so many extra credit opportunities. I wish I could take her for another one of my psych classes. (she also tends to make lil jokes and do lil dances throughout her lectures)
She wants all students to succeed and gives many extra credit opportunities. She has solid lectures and responds quickly to emails.
Professor Byers cares about her students on another level. She can be a bit sassy when you email her, but she does want you to succeed. I took her in the middle of the pandemic, so we were online, but zoom was still mandatory. Be kind and respectful, do your best, and you should be fine!
Professor Byers is a great person and truly cares about her students. When asked questions, she gives great answers and makes sure you understood her feedback. I would recommend taking her!
Professor Byers was amazing. This was an online class with a zoom every Wednesday. She always made her lectures easy and fun. It wasn't very note heavy. She does give several extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. I would definitely recommend this class and I would take her again!!
Byers is an amazing professor. Her lectures were short and easily digestible and zoom lectures were informative but lighthearted. She clearly cares about your success and gives quite a few opportunities to make up points, but the majority of the grade are the exams. As long as you read the book and pay attention, you'll do great with Byers.
Prof. Byers is a great professor. She made the course easily understandable as it was online. She keeps her weekly lectures sweet & to the point allowing for questions and review. You're required to read chapters from an online textbook that's free & there are 3 exams & very few homework assignments. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.
AMAZING
I loved Professor Byers. She was fun, easy-going, understanding, and energetic. The exams were long, but if you study they are not bad. Not a lot of homework, good lectures, but there was a lot, and lots of extra credit. Always open to questions. Attendance was mandatory, but the class was fun. (My class was online this year tho)
A genuinely good person (Something hard to find amongst college professors)
Highly recommend Prof. Byers! She made the lectures easy to understand since they were online. Not many homework assignments & several extra credit opportunities. She clearly cares about the success of her students and sends lots of reminders about work and tests.
I took Prof Byers freshman year. She was an amazing prof. you defiantly want to show up to class and stay off your phone or you'll get sent out. Absolutely flunked my first test but with hard work I brought my grade up and she was super helpful through the whole process.
Professor Byers is wonderful! She cares about her students and their mental health. She knew that the COVID semester was hard, so she made our tests open note. As long as you pay attention to lectures and take good notes you will pass. She is easy to listen to and learn from.
Not a lot of homework and easy tests also professor Byers is so nice.
She is so sweet and so helpful. She wants all of her students to succeed even if there are 200 ppl in the class (like mine). She gives a lot of extra credit and makes assignments very clear. Her weekly zoom calls were interesting and not long at all. I definitely recommend!
Professor Byers is a wonderful professor. You can tell she loves the topics that she teaches in class. She is also super engaging, so it's easy to pay attention in class. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make an easy A!! She always helps with assignments and gives you the textbook for FREE!!!!
Professor Byers is absolutely amazing. Her lectures are very engaging and she gives great examples to help you learn the material. There isnt that much homework and she gives you many opportunities to raise your grade. I loved taking her class and would definitely recommend.
She's very nice and considerate and is not looking to fail anyone. I spent about 30mins on her work each week and just got it done the moment it was assigned. Conversation-driven and is very understanding 10/10!!!
Professor Byers is such a great professor and cares about her students! She makes her expectations clear beforehand and doesn't mind answering questions. Her tests are a little tricky but studying the practice quizzes and attending class is very beneficial. I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants an easy Gen-Ed.
Loved her! She is funny on her weekly zoom lectures and expects participation. Very caring and goes out of her way to help students. Assignments in class are super easy but help you learn. Interesting class and great professor.
If you're struggling at any point she will always try her best to help you out. Definelty my favorite class.
Given that I took this class in Fall 2021, she kicks people out who are not wearing their mask correctly and are on their phones. Personally I find it hilarious, but if you can't follow instructions don't take it. Love the material and I wish I could take her again.
Professor Byers is an amazing professor. She's very nice and cares about her students! If you're a freshman looking for a social/behavioral science gen ed, then I definitely recommend taking her class. Her exams are not hard as long as you know the vocab, and you can use your study guide for the last 10 minutes of the exam.
I love this Professor so much! She is very caring towards her students and as long as you show up to class you will pass. Lots of extra credit and free textbook. Take this class
Professor Byers is really good at doing her job. If you do the work then you'll pass her class with an A or B. Tests are a tad difficult, but if you study then you'll do well. She does give extra credit to make up for a zero for one of her in-class applications. She makes lectures interesting by adding fun facts about the topic.
Dr. Byers is such an amazing professor! She offers so many extra credit opportunities in order to boost your grade. As long as you go to class, take notes, read the textbook, and do the practice quizzes and study guides, you will pass her class and her tests.
Very energetic and caring. Gives lots of extra credit.
Prof Byers is wonderful. Her intro to psychology class is so informative. I learned so much in such a short period of time, her teaching style also helped me retain the information she was giving. If you take notes you must write them, not technology. This really helped me with memorizing information for exams. She's great 10/10!
Byers is great! Lots of grades given but material is easy to understand. The class is easy if you know the material
Can be a little confusing but other than that is a great Professor
the BEST teacher UTC has. show up and pay attention in class and you'll do fine. practice quizzes are the key to doing good on tests, I never even read the textbook.
She is such a fun teacher to have. She gets everyone involved, which makes the class so enjoyable. Extra credit is given like crazy in her class, so hard to fail.
Very energetic and engaging, her class was always less of a chore than my others. Attendance was a must but about 1/3 of the grade was just showing up to in-class quizzes that she would then go over the answers with the class. She also had a lot of extra credit. If you actually tried I cant see how you would get lower than a B in this class.
No homework. 3 tests. Do the study guides and you'll get a good grade. Show up for in class applications and she will give you the answers. She keeps class engaging.
Professor Byers is one of my favorite professors I have ever had. You can make an A in the class as long as you show up and do the work. The exams weren't difficult and always multiple choice. She gives a lot of extra credit and always answers her emails. She really cares about her students and is super understanding! Would highly recommend her.
libby byers was the best professor I've ever had. She truly cares for her students and it shows every time she sees her students. her work is very easy if you just pay attention. she explains everything very well and its very easy. She's the sweetest professor and her class was amazing.
The assignments were pretty straightforward. You will have to study a bit for the tests since its not really common sense but if you study even a little bit you will be fine. Other than that she is very understanding, by far my favorite teacher so far!
The quizzes are multiple choice and straight forward. If you come to the lectures and take the notes, her class is pretty easy and the textbook is easy to read. She gives a lot of grades and her classes are easy to go to. She is nice and very open. However, if she has a rule, she will not bend. No technology, and don't be late. Print your scantron.
Love her! Just be on time and study and you’ll do great in her class.
Her class is very engaging, but if you skip more than the allotted amount you won't do well. There was no homework other than studying for tests and in-class activities. She is super nice, but strict when it comes to her rules. No technology use and no showing up late or you'll be asked to leave class.
I absolutely LOVED Professor Byers. She gave so many different extra credit opportunities. Her exams were very clear and were based on what she taught in class. She gets you engaged in her lectures and basically the only things you are graded on are: In-Class Applications, Attendance, and Exams. I would 100% take her again!
Teaches the material fine and is academically great. However she has horrible classroom management skills. She will throw a fit and kick you out if you pull your phone out, as well as on quiz days she'll kick you out if you are a minute late. She is very patronizing and treats the class like everyone in it is 12 years old.
For Professor Byers Psych1010 course, all you need to do is: * show up to class for In-Class applications days * study for her exams by using lecture notes and practice quizzes *extra credit opportunities are offered * she does exit tickets for each class ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SHOW UP to class and you should definitely pass
Amazing class and amazing professor. You will get an A as long as you pay attention and come to class. You HAVE follow her rules, though. She is strict and people got kicked out all the time in my class for going on their phones and such. Also, be ON TIME for class or she won't let you sit in. Besides that, I always looked forward to her class.
Professor Byers is an excellent professor. She gives you all the tools you need to pass with an A, it's just up to the students to use them. Attendance is mandatory and she gives so much extra credit that sometimes attendance was our extra credit. Exams are mostly the questions on the practice quizzes she posts on canvas. Learned so much, TAKE HER!
Byers is an incredible professor in my opinion. she's incredibly understanding and does everything she can to help you succeed. as long as you show up and pay attention you'll get an A or a B. she's super awesome and makes the lectures fun and interesting too
I enjoy taking her class. She's a remarkable and powerful lady and is so loved by her students. Kindness goes a long way, and she shows that.
I would take one of her classes again if I could. She is amazing. She cares about her students so much. She offers lots of extra credit. Class work was easy and very doable. Exams aren't bad. She does take attendance so go to class. Sometimes she gives us mental health days and we don't have class.
Professor Byers is awesome!!! She gives great lectures, cares about her students, and gives lots of assignments and extra credit that improve your grade. Her tests are easy as long as you pay attention in class and study for a few hours over the material before the test. S.I. sessions are also very helpful!
Just come to class!! Professor Byers is a 10/10, and knows the material she teaches! She has a lot of extra credit so there's no reason not to do well in her class. Also, TAKE NOTES! those notes will help you in her applications. I LOVE HER class very much doable, and easy material to understand.
As long as you come to class, you will stay on track. Take notes as she takes that seriously especially for applications. She's a great teacher and knows what she's teaching. She offers plenty of extra credit and what ever you do, just listen to her when she says no phones or you will be kicked out.
Professor Byers is such a wonderful teacher. She is so funny and relates the material to every day life. There were 3 exams and an optional final; Exams are not hard if you study the material and pay attention in class. She does lots of extra credit so make sure to take every opportunity and show up to class. Awesome professor
Professor Byers cares so much about her students and truly wants everyone to succeed. Her class always made my day better. It's not hard to pass the class as long as you're willing to study hard for exams and do the textbook work which is super easy. I really wish I could have Byers every semester.
She is an amazing professor. I definitely recommend anyone take this class. Everything that's expected of you is laid out clear, she reminds you of important dates and overall her course is laid out to benefit the student. She's funny and you have plenty of extra credit opportunities. Don't be on your phone, she'll kick you out. Still 10/10
Professor Byers was the best! Her intro to psych class was my favorite class this semester and I really enjoyed it. She is super funny and truly cares about all of her students and wants everyone to succeed. She gives lots of extra credit! Go to class, take notes, go to application days, and study hard for her exams and you will get an A!
Professor Byers was awesome! Her Intro to Psych class is super easy to make an A in as long as you do your work and study for tests. I studied for maybe 45 minutes for each test and never made below a 90. She offers a ton of extra credit, and a lot of it is really easy (like submitting a picture of what you did over Fall Break). Would recommend!
She gives you so many oppertunities for extra credit and the resources to succeed. She's very clear on grading and introduces and expleins topics well.
Professor Byers really wants her students to succeed, and gives you every tool necessary to make an A in her class. She gets pumped up and made things interesting. Very nice lady, strict phone policy but still allows you to take computer notes. Lots of extra credit, not a lot of homework. Tests were straightforward.
love her!!! such a kind and caring woman. 3 exams, 6 in-class applications, and an optional final. she gives a bunch of opportunities for extra credit. if you attend class and pay attention this class will not be difficult.
Professor Byers was amazing. She was extremely kind and would start the class by going around to everyone asking "How is everyone doing today." She cares for all her students and loves what she teaches. Highly recommend taking Professor Byers!
Byers was funny but takes things seriously at the same time. She is serious about due dates and does NOT allow electronics out for anything other than note taking. If she sees you on your devices she will kick you out of the classroom. Loved her class does a huge grade bump.
Professor Byers was the most caring nice professor! Be prepared to take a lot of notes. The exams are super difficult if you don't study or pay attention. She does give tons of opportunities for extra credit and even offers to bump your grade depending on attendance and participation. As long as you show up and take notes this class is pretty easy.
DO NOT TAKE HER. I have never been so disrespected by a teacher. She cussed and yelled at the class because the first day she decided to check notes, she wasn't pleased with them. She proceeded to tell someone to get the f word out, and interrupted my friend and I as we tried to tell her we were sick the day before, and said "bye".
Preferably, she was an amazing professor. She does lecture very heavy, def be ready to take lots of notes. Shes very strict, and doesn't care to kick you out. She teaches very clearly. Just make sure you show up and do what she asks and study for exams and you will pass her class. If you get on her bad side on day 1, you'll be up for failure lol.
remember to take lengthy notes!!!! pay attention to what she writes on the white board.
Libby Byers is great. Easy class but you will learn a lot. She has a no cell phone policy which she is very passionate about, but she is very engaging, so you won't really need one. I'm not a top student still she cares. In a class of nearly 150 students she learned and used my name, most of my professors in a 40-student class wouldn't bother.
She has been my favorite professor so far! She does lecture heavily, but she makes sure you know the material. You just have to show up to class and you'll be fine. There are 6 in class applications- BRING YOUR NOTES. She checks notes on these days to make sure you did the work, and if not you will be asked to leave.
She claims to care about her students but when I went up to her after class she wouldn't even look me in the eye. So I guess she is fine if you don't mind just being another number and make sure to take notes because if they are not up to her standards you will get sent out of the applications.
Professor Byers was one of my favorite professors. You can tell she's passionate about what she teaches and cares about her students. Would highly recommend!
Professor Byers was an absolute pleasure to have as a psychology teacher, and I'd reccomend her to anyone passionate about the field. She so obviously cares about her students and her material.
Professor Byers is an excellent professor, and I would definitely encourage other students to take her. The class is pretty lecture heavy, but Professor Byers is very entertaining and engaging. She offers numerous opportunities for extra credit. Pay attention and participate during class and you'll do just fine!
I can not brag on this professor enough. She is amazing!!! I would encourage anyone to take her. She cares about her students, offers tons of extra credit options, and makes learning fun and interesting! The exams were slightly difficult but if you pay attention, study and take notes you will do great. Loved this class!
She really cares about her students, she knows what she's talking about, and she's great to talk to.
All the other five star reviews are correct, Professor Byers is amazing! She would also go around to each table at the beginning of class and check in with us and ask how we were doing which I really appreciated. She extremely knowledgable, kind, and teaches incredibly well. 10/10!
Byers is a good professor. You do have to pay attention to her lectures and study for her exams but they are not bad at all. She also offers extra credit through sona.
This class was fun and she is a great Professor. Yelled at students sometimes, so that was weird.
Professor Byers is the best!!!! You must take her. She's so funny and you can tell she really cares about what she's teaching and the students that are learning. Obsessed with her.
She's so sweet and is super engaging with students; you can tell she genuinely cares and is passionate about psychology. Class expectations are clear and assignments are always simple. She also sets aside time to review before exams. Can't recommend her enough!
Professor Byers runs a pretty strict class, but if you stay engaged and use tools like unstuckstudy for study prep, you can succeed. She cares about her students, though her teaching style may rub some the wrong way. Overall, a solid psychology course.
Had for for 1010 and wanted to take her again for electives. 100% worth it! I learned so much from her as her lectures were engaging and really interesting and fun. You can tell she wants whats best for her students and wants them to succeed. Her assignments are clear and simple, and study for her exams! Highly recommend her to anyone
It's a chore to take this class online. If you're looking for a fun and easy elective, don't take this class. I've heard good things about the in-person course, but the online course is not worth the time. It's just frustrating. I have an A and I am continuing to do the SONA extra credit, but this course takes more work than my upper divisions.
Took this online—super straightforward. Clear rubrics, easy A if you follow them. Tests match the chapters, so do the readings + weekly assignments. She's super helpful and quick to respond. 10/10 recommend!
I am a Senior now and Professor Byers has been my favorite teacher since freshman year. If you ever get the chance to take her classes DO IT! Easiest A of all time.
It was just an alright online course. Things could've been clearer and the tests slowly started to not look like the course information. I still got a good grade, but this class felt meticulous and I've heard better things about the in-person lecture version. If you can, go do that.
libby byers is so nice and she loves to crack a joke. her class is very lecture heavy but also good amount of group in class activity's. All assignments really easy and essay very strategic forward if you pay attention in class you'll make good grades. She also offers extra credit but not needed if you pay attention your grade will match.
Libby's class is an easy A.Each week, she assigns two assignments and one unit quiz. As long as you read the slides/go through the study guide, it's a straightforward pass. Her assignments always come with a clear rubric, so if you follow it closely getting a high grade is pretty easy. She's also really responsive to emails, which is super helpful.
I took her class online and the only reason I would say her work was hard is her study guide need to be a little more specific. We didn't have textbook for this class that cost but we would have weekly readings.
I absolutely love Professor Byers. I highly recommend taking a class with her. She is the best psych professor I have had.
Super easy class and professor is one of the best at the university. Attendance is mandatory for a grade but she drops 4 at the end of the semester. There are 6 assignments for the class and half are in class only plus the lowest score is dropped. There are only 3 exams and no final! Overall amazing class and recommend taking!!
