She is a very lazy and unorganized prof. Her exams are open book but it doesn't help much because it doesn't meet the criteria. She would give multiple choice questions from book,same time you have to write an essay as well. You'll get couple of essay homeworks,midterm,final, even it's winter class. She is not good at all.

She's not so bad. The tests are difficult and it doesn't matter that they're open book. She is very picky about the essays and it's impossible to get 100 on her exams. Very boring class she reads from the text and occasionally tell stories about her patients. She doesn't explain the guidelines for the papers and a lot of people had to rewrite them.

She was an excellent professor, brought good atmosphere throughout the entire class, she made it fun, informative, but less stressful. Test are not easy, but if you read the book,you'll have no problem. Because the test are open book, there was no pressurein memorization, so I was able to actually learn and absorb more to what I was really reading.

Professor Mayers made learning Psychology more interesting. I looked forward to her class every week. She shares videos that help reiterate concepts and various psychological studies from the past. She enjoys class participation and is very clear on test dates and material covered. Show up to class and read the book and you'll pass no problem.

Prof. Mayers was great. I really loved the material she would show us and the conversations she would bring up were really interesting. For exams, be ready to read but thankfully her exams were open book. As long as you pay attention and participate in class, you should do well in your papers and exams.

She never answers emails until it's too late. When you send her homework, you never know if she actually got it. Overall bad communication with students. She makes us watch videos that have nothing to do with the learning material. Her lectures have barely anything to do with the textbook. She's not good with online classes at all.

Not a lot of work. She just says to keep up with the readings, and she's right. If you keep up with the reading and notes you'll pass with flying colors. Especially because each test is open note. She only assigned one homework, and there are four tests, and that's all that determines your grade. Just take notes and it's easy.

I had the pleasure of having this professor during my last semester at this college. She assigned one homework and all of her exams were open book. Shes very kind and caring. The only negative thing I would say about her is that she responds to emails very late. Other than that shes a wonderful professor. Show up to class and participate.

Dr Mayers is such a wonderful example of an educator who cares. She gives great lectures and really appreciates class participation. It's easy do the reading and you will pass. Her exams are multiple choice and open book. She wants everyone to pass, I really enjoyed her class. She made me wish my major was Psychology. Thank you Dr Mayers!

Don't take this class. Talks too much, she's kind of a passive-aggressive person, and not very clear. If you hate reading, DON'T takes this class. Be aware of this professor, not an easy A.

Linda was such a caring professor she was always available after class to speak. She asks the class their preference on assignments and tries to make everyone feel comfortable.

While Dr. Mayer's tone could be better, that shouldn't be centered. She is an excellent lecturer, has great discussions, supplements her classes with lots of videos, doesn't give hw and is an easy class to take. If attending LAGCC, take during any 2nd session; tests are open book if online. Pay attention, have fun with discussions, and you'll pass.

She is really a good professor. I took her for SSY 101 and I'm taking her online class in second session for SSY 240. Her exams are open book and very easy. She shows video which makes the class more interesting. Definitely take her you wont regret. One of the best professor I had in first semester.

Great professor! All exams were open book, so as long as you did your part in reading the textbook and taking notes, you were set. Exams were closely related to the lectures and she would include videos to help you understand the content

Had I known that this professors gets hers quizzes online, I would have a better grade, with her open book policy. I guess I was just so polite when she said we are not allowed to use Google. Haha! Nonetheless, she is okay. Gets pretty boring a times but manageable.

Professor Mayers makes the class engaging with helpful videos. As long as you do the readings and take notes, the open-book exams are a breeze. unstuck AI was a great study aid too.
