very accomodating to students, easy tests, lots of lectures and notes, gives extra credit points, one presentation, keeps classes interesting with potlucks/lunches, willing to assist students.
best teacher ever.....I double recommended her.she makes psychology beautiful .
the best teacher you can ever get. very helpful, delightful her lectures are the best
Very knowleadgeable. Enjoyed her class very much. One presentation, lots of notes to study from!! Would take her again.
Best teacher I made an easy A!!
Mrs. Adkinson knows what she is talking about! She's very accommodating and I've never seen her lose her cool. I've taken her for two diff classes and her teaching style is somewhat laissez-faire but in a good way. Very smart woman!
Look people. She's a really nice lady, but ALL you do is take NOTES!!! All class period...no joke. She's not creative. She doesn't help you remember the information. You just take notes. There is no review or discussion about what's on her test. You have to look back at your NOTES!
she is very intelligent and the class is extremely good. she helps you understand the material and she gives excellent reviews for the test.
Mrs. Atkinson, is an excellent teacher. The class is really fun. Motto: Study everything from the Womb to the Tomb. She really looks out for her students and you must be active in attendance in order to meet your full potential. She's very knowledgable and shares it with her class. Highly recommended. Thanks, Mrs. Atkinson. She's the Bomb!!!
GREAT TEACHER. WISH SHE TAUGHT OTHER SUBJECTS
Very Nice and interesting teacher...I've never had a better professor!!! Seriously you're lucky if you get her.. you learn so much in a fun way..I made an easy A too!!
She is an easy A. You do not need the book test come directly from the notes. The review that she gives you is the test almost verbatim. Take her you will not regret it!
Mrs. Adkinson is awesome! She really knows her stuff, and makes sure everyone is well prepared for her exams. Interesting lectures, and she is a genuinely nice lady. There is a lot to cover in this course, but she makes it all worthwhile!
Awesome Instructor!!! OMG!!! the best ever! I almost dropped the class when she told us to do our own obituary as a class project but am glad i didnt. She is so helpful andorganized. Her test review is what you see on the test. Highly recommended guys!!
VERY VERY GOOD TEACHER.EASY TO PASS.TAKE HER,HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
SIMPLY THE BEST, GREAT TEACHING STYLE...! I wish I could take other classes with her. Her reviews are key to pass the exams.
Dr. Adkinson is a wonderful teacher! All you have to do is review your notes and do the two assignments and you'll pass!
great teacher, will definitely recommend her. take her, you will not regret it. just take good note, study it, and pass.
great teacher,just take good note, study it, and pass.
pliz...this teacher if you want to get an Easy A.
OMG never studied except for five minutes prior to test and lowest grade was a 98! highly recommend this lady
Dude... Best teacher ever. Easy A and you finished the class with knowledge i was actually interested in acquiring.
She is a very sweet lady, she will teach from powerpoint or hand outs, but she will review the test a day before test day, pay attention to the question because that the way the anwers appear on test. Easy A.
She is the best teacher ever. Very sweet and funny lady. Got an A in her class and I actually learned. I only studied for 20 min before the test... the day before a test she does a review with every question from the test. Loved her!! Easy A and a very good teacher!
she is the best instructor HCC has, Highly recommanded
this professor is super easy. You would actually have to try harder to fail than to pass. she gives xtra credit all the time for no reason. if u fail, just drop out of school cuz u got no chance. n thats the harsh truth from a harsh man.
Does not know material. Mixes up basic psychological history and information. Does not plan class material prior to class. A waste of time and money, I could have taught the course more effectively.
Mrs.Adkinson is the BEST! Easy A as long as you go to class, take good notes, and study your reviews = EASY A. She gives lots of extra credit too. If you have the opportunity to take her class I highly recommend her! She is super easygoing and funny too. She is an AWESOME instructor! I wish HCC had more teachers like her!!
Sweet lady. Her lectures are a bit boring but you will learn so much. Nothing in her class is too hard just come to class everyday. She is extremely helpful. And everything that is on the test she went over it in class so there's nothing surprising, however, don't forget what you learn on the first test cause it will be on the second. TAKE HER!!!!!
A very nice teacher and is very organized and her work is always up to date.Just work hard and you will automatically achieve an A.
Easy teacher, I took her on Saturday. She gave the reviews before test. 2 papers really easy, plus points for attendance.
She is the best! Took her for a 5 week summer class and she was very helpful. She made sure you understood the content. Passed with an A.
This teacher does not know her information. She just gives packets that doesn't even have the information she teaches. She doesn't teach whats on the test. She sometimes goes over the test before she gives it to us. Did not learn anything, google did. I took the two hour class during the summer and she only utilizes 45 minutes each day.
I would reccommend this professor to everyone! I took her summer '13 and I have to say she is really good and knows her stuff. We only had two assignments and a test every week but the test was over what you had discusse; she gives you the powerpoints and extra credit. She drops the lowest grade. She wants everyone to pass, you will enjoy.
If you already took this class and know the material then take her. the way she teach is very confusing. in first day of class she was teaching from chapter 4 and chapter 5. 2 papers and she takes 8 quiz 5 questions. the first quiz was the second week of class 27 multiple choice and 13 short answers.
Usually indirectly goes over the quizzes before the test. She doesn't go through chapters consecutively. Thorough review packets. Very experienced. Take notes, brisk through textbook you shouldnt have any issues.
AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!! So understanding, super helpful, very nice and playful at times yet serious when necessary! She draw examples from her past experiences and most especially her family. She will explain and make fun of situations to help you understand. Keep it up Professor! I promised her on the last day of class that i will rate her.
Excellent teacher. For her exam just listen during class and study from powerpoints. For the final look over the textbook. Most of the time gives extra credit on exams. She was awesome!
She is a great professor, she has some group activities. You will learn a lot in this class. Test are based upon lectures,notes and the book. Test are not too hard and you will have one research paper. Try not to miss any days...
I truly enjoyed her class. She is laid back and very clear of what she expects from day one. I took her 8 week class during the summer and it was SUPER EASY! The tests are multiple choice and there are 2 projects but they were fun to do and different (individual - not group projects). AWESOME TEACHER!!!
Mrs. Adkinson is really sweet and down to earth!! She gives you plenty of handouts and its better to read those instead of the textbook since it gives too much info. She is there to help you succeed in class and if you don't pass its because you are lazy. 4 exams, 1 research paper, 1 obituary and plenty of time to complete the assignments.
Professor Adkinson is a sweet woman. She drops the lowest test grade and doubles the highest test grade which is great! Do great on the obituary project; be creative, she'll give extra points if you are.
Took her fall and summer she's very cool I would recommend her to anyone!!!
She lectures more of what her opinion on the topic is than what you need to know for the class. The book is a must to pass. She drops your lowest test grade, has 1 research paper and 1 project that are both super easy. Attendence isn't mandatory and she plans the class around people not showing up. Easy A but don't expect to learn anything.
The Saturday class was awesome. I learned a lot about kids and just development in general. No homework. Just tests that you need to study for and 2 projects.
She is very nice, she always lectures, and likes to review before exams. She takes attendance, and she gives extra credit. She likes to get class conversation started.
She's great! Easy class and really straight forward. Do read at least a little bit. She's funny and down to earth. I would definitely take her class again.
She is crazy lol do not ask stupid questions .she is clear about her expectations pay attention to packets and what she says . Read a little
You have to try really hard to fail this class. Excellent teacher.
So amazing, sweet and down to earth. Straight to the point and tells you EXACTLY what you need to do. "You have to try really hard to pay this class" -professor Adkinson
She's laid back with her lectures. Usually gives you a print out of notes for each lesson. Majority of the tests are based off the notes but is very helpful to read the book.
She's an awesome professor! Psyc 2314 on Mon- Wednesdays has been my best class this semester!
She is very nice I would recommend her to anyone.
She's a great professor. Tell's you what to expect from day one. No surprises!! 2 projects.
She's very interesting and also clear on what she expects and accepts! She wants you to do your work and pass:)
Professor Adkinson is an excellent professor. She reviews the syllabus on the 1st day of class which provides a clear outline of the course. She presents the information in an effective manner and prepares the students for the exams. Her class is enjoyable and the subject matter is very interesting.
The class was super easy, and the teacher is super nice . Just take your notes , read the packets given to you and you should do good !
i was blessed when i got this teacher she makes subject interesting, shes funny, you'll fall in love.. just give her 3 or more classes shell grow on you and you'll never forget her. if you get this teacher youve just been honored shes great (its the Armenian in class :) ) thank you linda for such a great semester stay the way you are!!
love her class, very interactive. she knows her subject and has plenty of material, she is always willing to explain any questions. goes by her syllabus and tests are both lecture notes and book. if you read and turn in your papers you will definitely pass.
She is a nice profesor. Things that will help improve your class is to not just gives. Us the packet but also go over the book. And do assignment. Base. On the topic. Im visual learner so i think. You should put different types of assignments for the different types of learning styles. Not just us going over the book by ourselves , or reading.
She hands out packets that go along with the textbook. Fairly easy professor and has activities that help but you have to read. Attendance counts and she is for the most part an easy grader. She will go over the review!
Awesome professor. Her lectures are clear. Pay attention. Take notes. Participate. Ask questions and you will pass. She gives extra points if you don't miss class. Very nice and knowledgeable. She says the book is mandatory but I don't think you need it.
HORRIBLE unorganized lectures. When she asks questions she asks us because she doesn't know the material. Assignments are easy but she doesn't go over them unless you ask her. Fast reply to emails. 8exams and drops the lowest grade. 1 comprehensive district final. 1 research paper 1 project. attendance not mandatory but 100% gives you extra credit
She is an amazing professor ! Loved her class and coming every afternoon, looked forward to it
Great professor, very friendly, very relaxed, always looked forward to this class
I love Ms. Adkinson! Her lecture is clear. She is calm and knowledgeable. Tests are accumulated, which means, each test includes the previous chapters. She reviews frequently so it is easy to pass or get a higher score.
This is a really good class today you will learn a lot please take her class she is Great
This is a very interesting class. I like how relatable it is to real-life scenarios, and this professor makes me much more interested in Psychology!
This teacher is cool af. She's kind and knows students by their first names.
Professor Adkinson is amazing! She is super cool and laid back. I made a copy of another students book and didn't need it. She gives handouts and goes over everything in class that will be on ALL her test redundantly. There is no way possible anyone should fail her class. Just listen to everything she says and you will pass. No worries at all!!!
I loved her teaching would definitely recommend her. Outstanding class, I wish she could be my professor for every class
I took her Personality Psychology class and have to say that she is the best professor I have ever had. If you're taking psychology, take one of her courses. I have never thought about rating any of my professors until I took her class. She is incredibly kind, she takes her time to connect to everyone. She is very knowledgeable, don't miss a class!
I love her. She is pretty simple when explaining thing. She is straight to the point and doesn't was time. I would definitely take her again if I have to.
She's an amazing professor! You don't need to buy a textbook because she'll give you handouts. We had test once a week but they were all easy and she usually gave us lots of bonus points. I remember I actually got 70 on one test but somehow she boosted it up to 95!!!! Its an easy A class if you show up and do what u're supposed to do.
Best professor all around! Been out of school for over 15 years and to be able to come back to class and begin your 1st course and have a professor who teaches is amazing! Gives extra credit ... Just listen, take notes, and come to class when asked and you'll do fine! Would deff take her again!
Straight forward and is easy to follow
She is perfect! Take her class and you wont be regret! She gives pretty assignments but its so easy to get A.
She can be generalistic at times with grading criteria, but overall she makes it very clear what you need to read and need to do to pass.
Getting an A in this class is easy as long as you come to class, review your notes, and do all the assignments.
she is an amazing teacher but the work is hard and should study right away cause its easy to fall behind.
She is such an awesome professor! I used to dread the idea of taking psychology, but she made it fun again. She connects with the students and is always up for a good laugh. At the same time she knows how to guide a class back in to a lesson if things go off track.
Linda Downing-Adkinson is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is funny, straight to the point, calm, and an easy grader. Highly recommend her.
she is really funny, and the class pass by really quick.
I really enjoyed Mrs. Downing-Adkinson Class. She is a great professor. I would love to have her for any future classes.
I enjoyed this class alot. I took the evening class and thought it would be boring but I was wrong. I enjoyed the lectures and the assignments were fairly easy.
Very caring teacher! Def recommend!
She is wonderful! I highly recommend to take her!
The best
Awesome professor!
Great teacher! Grades easy.... Pay attention in class Read over material before the test/quiz She gives a lot of extra credit Does not accept late work
I would recommend you to take her class. Although the tests are a little too hard, you will get a lot of extra credits besides that.
She is a really great professor and I just wish that I will have more professor like her. I enjoyed and learned a lot from her class.
She is the most amazing professor you can ever imagine. She gives everyone an opportunity to excel in her classes.
She doesnt do online, so dont try to find your grades because they wont be submitted. I didnt really mind, tests and projects were graded and handed to us the next class, shes an amazing professor. Enjoyed this class!
Excellent Professor! Easy grader.
Attendance isn't mandatory, but strongly encouraged. You get an extra % of bonus points added to your grade if you have perfect attendance which can help your grade if it's not doing so hot. Prof. Adkinson is really chill and funny but she is very clear in the syllabus what you will need to do to pass. Pay attention and study w/ your classmates.
If you actually try and put effort into this class you will make an A no problem
Mrs. Adkinson is literally the best! TAKE HER CLASS! I was so glad I did, if you do what she asks you are sure to pass! This is the first professor I was able to give 5 stars ever! I look forward to a solid A!
Great Professor
She is the best professor in HCC. Do your work and you will be good
she is an amazing professor this is my second time taking her and I love her! definitely recommend her!
Professor Adkinson is AMAZING! Shes so fun and makes the class interesting and lectures are great! There is no reason why you should not pass! I love her! Would take her again!
She is very nice, and she want to help us learning and succeed.
Easy to get an A even before you take the final and her content is interesting and makes you think but is easy to study
This professor is very good in ways to teach class. You will have to do is study all papers she gives you. Test are easy, you will pass this class with out stress out at all. She will help you get even extra credit. Take her class, you wont regret it at all. Thanks professor Linda!
Prof. Adkinson is an amazing instructor. Her class is never boring. She cares for her students and is willing to work with you in order for you to succeed. Her graded tests are easy. She also tests you over and over (ungraded) in preparation to the final exam. She is the best PSYC teacher! I will definitely take her for PSYC 2314. I recommend her.
Attendance is super important but the lectures are very informative and honestly go by in a flash very enjoyable.
Professor Adkinson is a good professor and answers any questions that we have but also provides good examples to go with her lectures and on board examples. Overall she is a good teacher to learn from.
She explains notes clearly and tell you what to do if you need help
She will give you the handout. If you are not available to the class, you should ask one of your classmates to get the handout for you. Her test is not tough if you study. And she just requires one research paper. It's pretty easy.
Fantastic professor. Cares about her students and made sure we understood the content she was teaching
If you are seeking a degree in Psychology, definitely would recommend attending her classes
Professor Atkins is a wonderful professor to have. Her style of lecture is setup in a conversational manner. She gives PLENTY of opportunities to receive extra credit. Professor Atkins is very knowledgeable in her field of study and breaks things down in a way anyone would be able to understand the processes of personality.
Prof. Linda is the most awesome professor I ever have. Easy but not lazy, she explains lectures that her student will understand and she will give examples on each topic. Very caring and thoughtful. Easy A if students will complete all her requirements on time and reviews will be on class. Give extra credits! A bunch of extra credits!
Professor Linda is an amazing teacher and actually teaches on the subject at hand. Makes learning fun and gives extra credit to help.
She is the best professor she will help you and work with you so that you can do well in class .and she gives extra credit. So I recommend every one to take her.
Professor makes you want to come to class, attendance is necessary to pass, you will learn a lot. Class is simple to pass as long as you come to class and want to learn.
A great, wonderful and straight to the point teacher. I recommend!
Make sure you study and review your notes for the tests.
She teaches well and gives a lot of extra credit which is good
very understanding , open minded, willing to expel Ian over and over again.
Good lectures, and all the information is in the handouts (no book needed)
She is lovely
She gives good lectures and shows slides based off the printed notes she gives. I suggest ( if she allows you to) take pictures of the slides to later find the note in the 200+ paper notes she gives. She is detailed and approachable. She is quite funny and truly knows what she is teaching.
Just study her review, and you will pass. Research paper and assigments are extremely easy. One more thing, her questions are repeated through every exams.
Prof Linda is the best lectura, If you want to understand all about this course, take her, She is the best
She gives lots of extra credit to get your grade up. Her tests are hard and can be confusing. But other than that she is a good professor.
I really like her. Very Friendly.
There are no words to describe how great of a professor Linda Dowliis. She goe above and beyond to help you understand the material. I took her for introductio and I made an A . It was a lot of reading and studying, but doable. If you enroll in his class you will NOT regret it. Her lectures are interesting, gives extra credit if needed, etc.
She is really a nice person and she cares about what you learn from her class. If you work hard you would receive a good grade.
Linda is a BOSS professor, 2nd class with her. Real cool lady with down-to-earth but attention grabbing lectures.
she is very nice, everything is easy, she is super caring for her students
Take her, You will not regret. I don't stress with this class. Study a little bit and do your work. You will get an easy A. I have 5 classes and this professor help me a lot for this class, not making another burden for me.
Easy class, professor is nice and gives extra credit. Show up and do your assignments and you will pass this class easily. Test are multiple choice questions and are strait from her reviews.
super chill, really funny, very informative, clear syllabus, quick grading. what more would u want?
She is the BEST! Take her and you won't regret. Gives Pockets each class and writes everything you need to know on the board. There are only three Exams and a few quizzes. Has a lot of Extra credits and respond to her Emails fast.
Professor is very nice and caring students. She gives extra credits and good feedback. There is not hard time in her classed. Excellent!
Okay Professor, easy A. The online portion of this class was an absolute mess, but not much better than the offline portion. Lectures were anarchy, e.g. she once said estrogen is what gives men their muscles. The structure of this class is like those cash grab booths you see on TV, and you will never know if you are doing enough assignments.
I honestly loved taking her class this past semester. She is easy to understand, her assignments were easy to do and i love that she gives extra credit. I recommend that you should take her and i guarantee that you won't regret it!
Very nice and understanding. Informative and interactive classes, gives enough time for assignments.
Professor Adkinson is an amazing professor. She taught the information in a way that made it a joy to learn. I absolutely loved this class.
She is awesome. She makes the class so interesting and teaches really what is important and what we need to know. She is the best professor that I had had.
She is the BEST. No regrets. She makes learning easier, gives enough materials for you to study.
She is organized and prints out all materials for her students, explains clearly and very ready to work her student through. She is very knowledgeable. The best professor ever.
GREAT PROFESSOR ! very understandable and easy class!
A great professor, she's so lovely and I love the ways she teach I learned a lot. Definitely a very easy class
This class was very fun and the professor made sure everyone was participating and engaged during the lectures.
Greatest professor ever, so understanding, she makes the materials very easy to comprehend, overall a great course to take with her!
Very sweet and funny
This professor is super nice. Don't bother getting the textbook, because she gives you so many packets that are the equivalent of a simplified textbook with only the stuff you need for the test. She also gives SO much bonus work and ensures you'll pass. The essay is simple and short. I definitely recommend her.
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! I WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND TO TAKE HER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO STRUGGLE. there is nothing complicated here! TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO PASS AND HAVE A GOOD GRADE. I AM RE TAKING HER FOR OTHER COURSES! SHE WOULD MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL PASSING HER CLASS WITH AN A. SHE PRACTICES THE SAME FINAL QUESTIONS ON THE FINAL!!!!
Professor Adkinson is an outstanding instructor who makes the material engaging and easy to grasp. Attend class, do the readings, and utilize resources like Unstuck AI for great study prep - you'll learn a ton and likely earn an A.
She is the sweetest professor ever. Just attend her class and you'll easily get and A. Her instructions and teaching methods are clear and she actually motivates and cares about her students.
She has been an amazing teacher, and I would recommend taking her again. Please take note to come in time for class since there is always an activity that would be graded. You should get a big binder since she prints out a lot of her PowerPoints and assignments. Out of the professor I had in hcc she's been one of my favorites :)
