She allowed us to work at our own pace and just opened every single assignment and exam saying they were all due by a certain date. Easy grader. Online quizes are not timed. Doesnt grade very quickly but she always just gave me 4/4 for assignments.

The first two classes I took were online, this one was in person. It was a mistake. I realized how careless she truly was. She is way too vague, if you ask her to explain things, she won't. She dances around what you ask. She swats her hand at you to walk away and "dismisses" you. Very rude. Sure she was funny, but she treats you like you're dumb.

One of the best Ive had in 14 years of schooling. Lisa is truly one who cares for each of her students. Lisa teaches from her PowerPoints, but she makes sure that she applied the information to real-life situations. Always show up to her classesit will prove to be helpful to youespecially during finals week. Tests arent hard, usually a movie.

Easy online class but she doesn't even bother to put grades in till the end of the semester. On top of that, if you need help wondering about your grades, she sends you the syllabus with no help. When she does put in grades, check it, or else she will miss things and you won't get the grade you deserve. She doesn't care about your work.

I highly recommend taking her Psychology 100 online class. I had a great experience, she allows you to work at your own pace and has no hard due dates. She is a very understanding and replies to messages quickly. I wish there were more professor out there just like her!

Dr T is easily one of the best professors I have had at Waubonsee. She fought for in person lectures during the pandemic because she wanted to reach us better, and she definitely did! She involves the class in the lectures and tells stories about her own life and experiences to help us better understand the course. I would definitely recommend her!

I took PSY 100 with Prof. T and ended up dropping bc the workload was ridiculously heavy. Professor was difficult to contact and will take points away from you if you work with other students. I will have to retake it next semester with someone else since this is a grad requirement for me. I'd recommend finding a different prof for this class.

There are a lot of assignments, but for most of them there's no strict due date; almost everything is just due on the last day of class. Also, most are small assignments and all meaningful & I really feel like I learned a lot in this class. Her class is great for students who are good at managing time and can create their own due dates.

She gives good feedback and gives homework that is necessary to help for the tests. I 10/10 recommend Lisa for your psychology classes.

I did not like this teacher at all. I hated the way she set everything up in canvas it was hard to figure out what I had to accomplish. It was a self-paced class with a lot of assignments. You can not procrastinate or put off this class or you won't finish. The only good thing was she was luckily an easy grader.

Lisa is an awesome professor. She genuinely cares about teaching and is super relatable. She definitely has a knack for psych and is all around a great teacher. She is participation heavy, which as a timid person who doesnt participate alot is a little intimidating. It is graded but is only 10 points for the whole semester so dont worry about it.

Lisa was not terrible by any means, I took the 3 week online course which was dense but expected. A lot of her assignments are not clear enough which often led to confusion. she grades based on total points which is a plus but you have to write 4 2-4 page papers worth only 4 points. I don't know about you but it takes a bit to write those.

Lisa is by far one of my favorite professors. She gives super entertaining lectures, makes herself available outside of class, and is willing to work with you to make sure you succeed. Make sure you show up to class because attendance is graded. I've taken 2 classes with her so far and I plan on taking more.

If you have a choice to take Dr. Lisa‘s class or another professor, I recommend taking her class. I was in an online course over the summer, and it was so detailed, good detailed,and the papers that I wrote didn't seem like a waste of my time, but rather inspired me and made reflect and really understand the concepts that she was teaching us.

Best professor I've ever had including my high school days. Gives lots of extra credit and also all of our tests were online. Our final was just a notecard about ways to destress. Also tells a lot of very funny stories in class when she notices people zoning out. As long as you do your assignments you'll be fine. Tests are also open note.

If you are considering taking her class. BEWARE! If you missed days of class time & missed important days. You have to drop the course. I send accomendations because I have a learning disability, she didn't seemed to understand and care for me. She didn't try to encourage and allow me to make to stay her class. Nor given more time to work on paper

Incredible professor. I am a very shy and anxious student however always felt comfortable and encouraged in her class, the class is easy if you attend classes, pace the assignments, and actually do the work. Even if you are not interested in Child Psych and are just taking the class as another credit, she makes sure you can take something from it.

If you are looking for a clear and relatively easy Psych class, this is it! I took this class at the age of 15 and it was my first class. It's honestly perfect if you're new to college. Dr. T is super funny and flexible with everything. Be warned it is reading and paper heavy, but she's a fair grader and gives lots of extra credit.
