easy, helpful, you learn alot, incredibly understanding. I had a very difficult semester and she made it bearable.
What a wonderful lady! She truely cares abt her students success. She gives you every opportunity to do well. Come to class and you will at least make a A.No homework.Just reading thechapters.She gives excellent reviews for test. Test comes fromstudyguide
Nice and easy teacher. Very understanding. She would rather you pass than fail.
This prof is great! She's really fun to learn from, and her lectures are actually pretty entertaining. She's also a licensed sex therapist, so she's really open about all kinds of fun stuff. The diagrams on the board are hilarious!
This is a very excellent teacher.I would recommend any one to take her and if your not interested, you will after listening to her good lectures.I am so glad I took this marriage and families class with her.
DR. LOTZ IS A SPECTACULAR WOMAN! I HAVE HAD A LOT OF BAD THINGS GOING ON THIS SEMESTER AND SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE POSSIBLY COULD TO HELP ME OUT!!! I WISH I COULD HAVE HER AGAIN FOR ANOTHER CLASS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HER. SHE IS VERY NICE, HELPFUL, AND NOT TO MENTION HILARIOUS!
The hottest teacher I've ever had. She deserves more chile peppers
Dr. Lotz is such a great professor! I didnt feel like the class was a class at all, but more of a therapy session with essays and tests every week. I really enjoyed this class and I would highly recommend her to anyone taking marriage and family! :)
Smart lady.
She is a great teacher. I would recomend her classes to anyone.
I really enjoyed this class in the beginning of the semester but in the middle and end she just started reading straight from the book and it was very boring.She is very good and knowledgeable about the sexuality majority of the time I was bored.Also she gives a lot of internet research papers with very broad subjects that are hard to write about.
She is a great human being. The class is a little boring b/c its only lectures, but you learn a lot. There isnt nightly h/w, once a month you have to write a 500 word paper at home, she has you look up a topic online and write about what you learned, its so easy. I DO recommend. its an easy B class. GET STUDY GUIDE BOOK that is not required.
Interesting class, you learn a lot. It can get boring at times. Tests are medium. There are 500 word writing assignments which are annoying to write, but she gives pretty good grades on. She is a fun and crazy lady. Overall, its a pretty good class.
Her papers were very annoying but they wernt too hard. Smart and who knows her stuff but slightly boring. Class got better at the end because the subject became more practical (ie:signs of child abuse) She is pretty helpful. Will help you out with your grade if you put forth the effort. I made a B and deserved a C. Oh yeah, she's a funny lady.
Excellent instructor and very interesting person. Get the Study Guide! If you show up, do the assignments and read the chapters, you will do good in the class. It was great to go to class, learn and even laugh sometimes. If you don't take Lotz's class, you're crazy.
Dr. Lotz is an awesome teacher! Make sure to buy the study guide or share with someone else in the class. Also make sure to read the material for pop essays in random classes. I would definitely take another course with Dr. Lotz.
Dr. Lotz is the best teacher I have ever had. She is helpful in every way, and will do what it takes to make sure you learn the material and excel in the course. I would recommend Dr. Lotz to anyone that wants to have a good semester.
I took this class online and this teacher def gets an A+ for COMMUNICATION and HELPFULNESS. Very CLEAR on what is expected so READ the material and participate and you will do well w/o a doubt. A few papers/online discussions, but it WAS online. (No Prob)She was awesome! I would def take her class again! Thanks again for all your EXTRA help!
I took marriage and family online with her and it was great. She is such a nice teacher and very helpful. Make sure you have the study guide for the tests! The only negative thing I can say about her is that some of the test questions are found in different chapters then assigned, so if you can't find an answer, look elsewhere in the book.
Dr. Lotz is a great teacher. She's funny, genuine, nice, and willing to answer questions. One small thing that caught me off-guard is that sometimes she will test you with a couple questions from a section of the textbook that you weren't told to study yet, so it's a good idea to read ahead for yourself. The study guide helped a lot.
I took this class online for a summer flex term and thought it was very well-organized and structured. Lots of reading was required, and grades were based on the writing assignments and exams; plenty of work, but also many opportunities to raise your grade. She was also very quick with answering questions.
Enjoyed Dr. Lotz! She is a vey fair teacher, and very timely in getting assignments back. I learned alot in the class, and wish I had taken it earlier in life. Tests are hard, but fair!
Interesting class material. She knows her stuff! You need to pay attention to minor details in the book to get good test grades. The essays are super easy and only 500 words. I took her summer M&F class and had a pretty good time. Learned a lot more than I thought I would.
I dont recommend taking this class online. Although it's easy, the lectures are what makes this class fun and interesting. If you take it online, you dont get that. I took Dr. Lotz's class online and she was great! Easy essays only 500 words and she grades fairly easy too.
I also would NOT recommend taking this class online. Test are worded funny, and she doesn't give you enough time to finish. Assignments due on holidays & weekends. She also never tells you what you did wrong on assignment, so there is no way to improve, but they were only 500 words each and easy topics. Make sure to pay attention to small detail.
Dr. Lotz is fair and is willing to work with you if any problems come up in your life. She will allow you to take an exam over if you missed, said you do not like the grade. She is hard grader on spelling and sentence structure. Good discussions, she allows you to have your oppinion about your life experiences. She knows people and life problems.
Dr. Lotz is great! I absolutely loved her class and she made it really entertaining/interesting during her lectures. You ABSOLUTELY want to take her class in person because her lectures are seriously the best part. She did reviews with us before tests in the library and was very helpful. Definitely a great teacher to have.
She wrote the syllabus using old editions of the text- I think. There are things on the test that are covered in other chapters. Overall, great teacher but difficult online. She offers students the ability to go to in class reviews though. READ what she says and write coherent papers and it will be a great class.
Took this teacher b/c on here the people made her sound really awesome! I was and am bored out of my mind in this class. All she does is lecture and read out of the text. The tests are hard, she does not do good reviews before the test. Attendence not manadatory she does random writings which you can't make up. Don't take her. Can barely stay awake
This was the most boring class ive ever taken in my ENTIRE life. I dont know how many times i had to keep myself from falling asleep in her class. She does not give good reviews for the tests and the tests are very hard. She is impossible to understand.
Dr Lotz is a great teacher; she's very clear and thorough. She has a private practice and often is able to use examples from it in her lectures. There are a lot of writing assignments, but the topics are all interesting and help your grade a lot (she drops two). The tests really aren't as hard as some say if you read the book and review your notes.
Avoid taking this course w/ Lotz.Thought that this would be a fun course just to use as an elective but working with this professor was really difficult.Emailed her countless times asking for extra help & she replied'read the text'There are no study guides,syllabus is old& incorrect.Honestly,I wouldnt recommend this course to any1.Struggled greatly
I took this course online and thought it was great. The only DOWNSIDE is that her test do not typically match material, but she CURVES! She is very fair. Very open teacher.
I don't know what grade I will get in this class, but overall I guess she's an okay teacher. However, if you're looking for an easy elective class, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
Great online class! Not too difficult or overly time-consuming. Assignments are pretty easy and the tests are a breeze if you actually attend the online reviews. Tests and assignments are directly related to the readings and her lecture notes. Only 9 or 10 of the 60 students showed for the reviews, so I'm sure they aren't as pleased with the class
This wasn't an easy online class, but I learned a lot. Keep up with your reading and know how to write a good paper in MLA format(5 due). It's hard to improve since you won't get papers back. Tests were very demanding and there was material on them that was not covered in lecture notes or test reviews, so try to take thorough notes while reading.
Very rude, makes an elective feel as if your trying to pass the bar! DO NOT TAKE HER ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING STRAIGHT FOWARD...I got a B- in the class and worked harder then i did in any other class! Lotz is very sloppy, unorganized and knows nothing of what shes teaching! DROP/ADD ASAP!
If you do the work and study what she tells you, then the class is easy. There are 4 or 5 short papers (500 words) that are easy to do and get full credit for. I got an A in the class by taking notes and doing the papers. She is funny too.
Linda was a freaking amazing teacer. Learned quite a bit, and her art skills are phenomenal.
Really nice professor. Loves what she's teaches, fair fair grader! Curve on every test. Participate, hand your work in (flexible on deadlines) and it's nearly impossible to get below a B. Give's "EC" at the end of semester according to your participation in class.
She is the best teacher! She is funny and makes the class a blast to be in. Mrs. Lotz has a very funny sense of humor. Her tests are easy if you do the online practice and get the study book because she takes questions right off of there! TAKE HER CLASS! :)
OMG! This is the best class I have taken @ SFC!! Dr. Lotz was very entertaining and made the class enjoyable. She also offered to help you one on one if you needed it. She is a fun person & I enjoyed the class more than I thought I would because of her. I have already recommended my friends take this course with this prof. Easy as pie if you study!
I took this class on-line and I enjoyed it. By no means this is an easy class. The course requires a lot of reading but then again that's what's expected from a social science class. Dr. Lotz provided review chat sessions for every exam and that was very helpful. She was great!
I enjoyed this class tremendously and got so much out of it. It is so applicable to daily life. It helped me in my own family and marriage. The assignments were very fair and the test required you to study but were fair to me. I would recommend this course to anyone. Wish there was a part II.
Very fair but be prepared to write four or five short papers and test are tough but she grades on a curve.
Very fair with grades. You will have to write five short papers. Tests are little tough but she grades on a curve.
I took her class online. She has online reviews, they help your grade. Tests are hard, study the material and she grades on a curve. I made an A. 5 papers are easy, watch grammer and write about what she asks for. Good Teacher, helpful and understanding.
Prof Lotz is a very sweet old lady that is willing to put in the extra time to help. Everything she discusses in class and what she tells you to look on the study guide is on the test. You write five easy little papers. Lectures could be boring at times, but overall it was a fun class. Helping her with the use of electronics is recommended.
Great teacher!
Great teacher! I took this class online and made an A. She tells you what to study for her tests and holds a live chat before each test. There are 5 short essays you have to write but they are easy. Highly recommend her for this class!
such a sweet lady! i recommend her for marriage and families class. no homework, just a few papers and tests. she is very nice and fair and really wants students to learn! enjoyed the class!!
Great teacher!! Make sure you HAVE A BOOK!!!!! Easy essays but hard test!!! Make sure you read everything!!! Other than that she is very helpful!!
Dr. Lotz is an awesome teacher. She has a passion for this subject..Her online class is awesome and easy to follow. She has the month set up with your work. You do it and do your study guide, and the live test reviews you will do fine. I had some health issues this semester and she gave me another chance to take an exam i missed.
Wasn't helpful at all, rescheduled a test twice only giving 24 hours to take it. Never responded to questions, or emails, although her reviews were helpful you barely had any feedback on anything. Sometimes she could be really picky on grammar other times it didn't matter. Some assignments you got at last minute.
She doesnt give you helpful feedback on your papers. I'm an A student interested in this class, but I feel like she makes it harder than it needs to be, and her tests are awfully worded! I took the online class, and her exam questions are just plain weird sometimes and unanswerable even when reading the book! I liked the textbook,not the teacher
I took this class online. It was different. The essays and test weren't too bad at all. With the essays when she graded them sh always had feedbk on them.
You will need the book if you want an A. It is very expensive, other than that it was pretty easy. The teacher is very sweet. I got a 97 in my other class with no book. 80 something in this. Basically if you buy the book/study guide and read/do them you should get an A. I didn't want to spend $150 for looseleaf and a study guide so I got a B.:(
Great teacher!!! I took this class online. You will need the book.
You NEED the textbook for class. I took this online and had the international edition (same book for $100 cheaper). The study guide isn't much help since it's usually incorrect. Do your best and communicate with her. I tried my best and only ended with a solid B+. She actually rounded my grade up to an A. She wants you to succeed. GREAT teacher!!
Difficult class. Tests were sometimes oddly worded and included from material that wasn't covered. Ask lots of questions, read the book and study guide, and ask questions and you should be fine
I took this class online so I didn't have much contact with her. However, no complaints! I always understood exactly what she wanted and she would email a response to me prompt...and there was like 100+ students in just my class alone!!!!!!! Plus she's actually a doctor so I felt like I was learning from one of the best, if not the best!
You have to have the book and study guide. The topics she picks for essays were easy to write about. Watch your grammar. Tests were fairly easy as long as you read the chapters and did the study guide. Her reviews r really help. I enjoyed this class and found Dr. Lotz very helpful. She was quick to respond to any emails sent through the course.
I took Mar & Fam w/ Lotz online. Very easy class; 5 essays worth 40 pts each, 5 exams worth 100 pts each, and a couple discussion posts to complete. She graded papers very lightly; I was not confident in mine and always got at least a B+. Study for the exams and you're good to go! I definitely recommend taking this class.
Dr. Lotz was quick to reply to questions and offered an exam review for every exam that really helps. She was extremely fair on the essays. Some questions on the exams were difficult to understand because of the wording. I learned a lot.Overall, I would recommend her.
I loved this class! Dr. Lotz makes things very easy to understand. I took this class online and even though it had a lot of material, I was able to understand it all. Yes you do need to study hard for the tests, but if she feels that there were a few questions that she needs to disregard on the test she will, and you get those points. Loved it!
I took her online, but she is a wonderful teacher. You have to study for her tests, but if she feels there are some problems that are unclear, she will take them out. I would def recommend her!
She was very helpful. Whenever you have a question she answers promptly. If you have a problem with a grade you receive on the essay she will reread it and maybe even give you a chance to rewrite it.Sometimes she gives test questions on the live chat. There is a lot of reading required for this course.
I took the online class. Any time I e-mailed questions about an assignment, she was quick to respond with clarification. You must read the material & study her lecture notes. I did not do well on 2 of the 4 tests & still managed to pass the course with a "B". Pay attention to grammar on the essays & you should do well.
Took her online course. It was very easy for me, and I scored high As on all the exams. There is a lot of material online for you to complete and go through, but the only grades were some post-test quizzes on the chapters. You can take them multiple times to get the grade you want. Holds online review sessions that are helpful! Recommend this!
I took this class online, but had an older version of the textbook. You have to have the new version of the textbook because the test will ask you specific questions out of it. The professor is always willing to help you understand and does review sessions before each unit test. Easy A, if you have the right book. Teaches you about relationships to
There;s a lot of reading; however, if you keep up w/the work, it's not bad. I did pretty well on my exams and read all of the assigned chapters. I am confident that I will receive an A/B in her class. Per the class average on exams, other classmates didn't do so well because they waited until the last week of school to finish the coursework.
Professor Lotz is an AMAZING professor! Took her class online! Textbook is mandatory along with Pearson code. She lets you take each post test 3x, but the exams only once. Shes fast with responses. You MUST read the chapters! Put forth the effort and you can have an A! Highly Recommend Professor Lotz!
dr. lotz is a wonderful teacher. she allways on time helpfuland explain everything in class.i would not recommend no psy2012 over her she use mypsychlab online and you will have about 10 post test and 5 test in class open book and notes she is the best upper teacher that i ever had since i been at santa fe she also teaches marriage and families.:)
Dr. Lotz is an amazingly fun, interesting professor. Our on-line assignments were very helpful, but the deadlines for these assignments were extremely lenient. I felt these assignments should have been due the night before our exam, especially because this material was vitally important for the exams. The text was awesome; I very highly recommend.
Good class, Kind of boring, Have to read the chapters to pass the quiz that there is every week. I took the class online
If it wasnt for Dr. Lot I probably would of failed, I had a hard time be able to do the class but she was understanding, and helpful. The work is easy you just have to do it.
This was my first time dealing with mysoclab and I found it difficult until the end of the semester. I enjoyed emailing my professor because she was always helpful and her response was always fast. I never felt like I couldn't reach her and I am thankful to her for that.
Class online is in mysoclab which sucks! Some of the videos aren't the right videos and the test questions are poorly written and sometimes require you to make inferences. Instructor came off as rude and short tempered. Content wise, it's ok.
This course was a little difficult on some of the videos and maps you are required to take. Other than that the class is overall easy going.
I took this class online and the only problems I had were with the program. Dr. Lotz was very helpful and always answered my emails. The program has some glitches and problems but she works with you to get pass them. There is a lot of reading, but as long as you pay attention to the material and do as she says you will do great.
I took this class online. The program gave me some hard time but Dr. Lotz helped me get through them. She would answer all my emails pretty fast and she was very patient. There is a lot of reading and learning to do but as long as you do as she says and pay attention to the readings you will be good.
I think the professor was great!
She is so helpful and welcoming. If you are taking her course online you have definitley picked the best teacher. :)
This class is really easy not because of the work, but because of how mrs. lotz sets it up. Post tests and exams are what counts for your grade, the rest is meant to help you study. Shes thoughtful, and cares about your opinion. Shes always willing to help when help is needed and asked for. Highly recommend this teacher, especially online.
I took her online section and the class was very to the point and well laid out. We knew that what was expected of us were 5 non cumalative exams and 10 chapter tests. As long as you read the book you will do fine. As a teacher she was very easy to get ahold of through email and even met with me at school,understanding, and would recommend her =]
Very good professor. More helpful than most. I had misread an assignment due date and I logged on to do it a day late but it had closed. I emailed her and she allowed me to turn it in a day late with a warning not the make the same mistake twice. Very reasonable person.
Great with communication through email. I always got a fast response when I had a question. This class has no guesswork. You have to read the text, or you won't pass the exams. It's a lot of reading. My Social Lab can be confusing to work with, but Dr. Lotz is a helpful professor. Just ask if you need assistance.
Definitely take this class. Professor Lotz is a wonderful professor. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot about life. It is not an easy class but you will do well if you do all of the required readings.
I found prof Lotz class to be very enjoyable and informative. She responds to emails in a very timely manner. Shes quick to answer any questions and help in any way she can. I highly recomend her. The work load is not over the top. I think she realy gets the fact that her class is not the only class you have unlike alot of instructors.
This online class is easy as long as you read the chapters and do your study plan. If you need to take this class I would highly recommend this professor. No trips to campus which is great if you work full-time like me.
Excellent instructor and communicates well with others. As long as you do the work, everything will fall into place for you. She teaches issues we will need in the real world. Thanks!
Dr. Lotz is a fabulous professor!! She made the online class very easy. I would definitely take one of her classes again if I had the chance.
took the class online.....shes not helpful at all and does not care of the students.....if you have to take this class, please save your money and find somebody else....very hard class and she is very confusing....find a better teacher
VERY HARD WHEN YOU TAKE WITH THIS TEACHER.....HER EXAMS ARE RIDICULOUS AND GIVES YOU ONE HOUR TO ANSWER 50 QUESTIONS WHICH YOU HAVE TO FIND IN THE BOOK.....NOWHERE NEAR POSSIBLE TO PASS THE CLASS WITH AN "A"
Syllabus contradicts itself. Only Posttests and Exams count towards your grade the rest including attendance is optional. Don't rely on her for help, youre on your own in this class. If you question her or your grade she becomes rude and condescending. Quizzes grade you wrong but don't stress, doesn't count. She really doesnt care about you.
Great professor! This was a great class. The exams are a little difficult, but not much more than expected. No final, chapter post tests are easy if you read the material. Got an A. Participate in discussions, read the material and you should be fine.
Took the class online which is the best bet. Exams are easy and you can use your books, and Professor Lotz is quite helpful if you have any questions
Class workload was reasonable. You have to pace yourself, and actuall follow the syllabus. The only thing I did not like was that sometimes the videos & quiz questions did not match the chapter you were suppose to be testing on. So you have to be alert and able to answer the questions to recieve a passing grade.
She is really understanding and very helpful when it comes to questions you may have. She also responds fairly quickly to any questions. Class was very easy to learn. I would take her again. :)
