have a lot of fun with her
Wonderful teacher, wonderful class. No other psych teacher makes the subject so easy to understand and enjoy!
She's been wonderful at making sure that everyone has at least the opportunity to pass her class and understand it. Her tests are simply worded and covered well by class. And her packets are very helpful.
Shes is awesome teacher, she is crystal clear in what she wants from her students, makes class interesting by class participation, She is DEFINITELY not boring! i had fun in her class, and i actually learned in her class!!
VERY helpful and clear, I actually learned about this site from her, if I were her I would have no problem suggesting this site either, she is an EXCELLENT teacher and you will get out of this class what you put in. Crystal clear and she makes my gen ed course very interesting. If you need Psych, take her!!
Very clear teacher. The outlines she gives out are extremely helpful and quite straight-forward. I would have no problem suggesting her class to anyone interested in psychology.
Good teacher. Extra Credit is given, especially if you need it. Does a lot to make sure that you don't fail. I would take her again.
I took this class onlime and found it to be very interesting. When ever I had anyquestions she would e-mail me and It wouldnt take more than a day to get a responce. Her test were a little difficult but if you read the textbook and do all the outlines you should do fine. She is a fair grader on papers. Would recc.
Lisa was the greatest teacher i've ever had.She's honest, fun, and extremely smart.She believes very strongly in her students.She'll explain something ten different ways until she's sure everybody understands.She wants everybody to pass and helps students with extra credit projects throughout the entire year.I had 3 classes with her and loved all!
I had Lisa for intro and I have actually rearranged my whole schedule at school and at work to have her again in the spring. I CAN NOT WAIT!!!
Lisa is an amazing teacher! She totally makes the classroom worth your time. I just got done taking her Intro. to Psych 8 week course and it was the best 8 weeks ever. I wish I could take another class with her.. but I dont think that will work out. She cares alot about her students, never says NO when someone asks for help. LOVE YOU LISA!!!! =]
Lisa is by far the best teacher I have had at Waubonsee. I worked my next semester classes around her PSY205 class. You can't go wrong if you choose her as a teacher.
Great Teacher, fun class.
She is a great teacher, explains everything very well. Gives outlines for every chapter that help alot. Great personality, and the tests are pretty easy.
greatest teacher in the world.
best teacher... ever
the best teacher ever. super funny and explains everything and really knows her stuff. tests are pretty easier and she really goes out of her way to prepair the class. as long as you do that work you'll be fine
Lisa entered the class every day and stired the pot. She would get our class so worked up! Learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Loved her outlines. My husband also had her online class and loved it! So, either way you will learn lots. I would take another class with her again. She is the one that told us about this website. Ask her about her shoes!
class was very fun and easy to comprehend
She some how kept me interested and that's hard to do. She's my favorite teacher so far and I recommend taking her class if you can! She's down to earth and really quite cool
Awesome teacher, extremely down-to-earth. Brings excitement into the subject she is teaching. Has a great Sense of Humor, Her class is one that you will look forward to during the week
Great teacher. Made each session interesting and enjoyable. Provides fill in the blank outlines which serve as study guides for exams--extra credit opporuntities provided as well. Fair amount of work to do but not difficult. Show up to class, do the work and you'll do well.
Great teacher. Very helpful and easy to understand. Book gets used for pretty much outlines early, pay attention in class and you will get a good grade. She very down to earth and very easy to relate to. I would definately take her again and I would highly recommend her to others!
Unbelievable teacher. She is absolutely hilarious. This class is fun and interesting. I always looked forward to Lisa's class. Not only is it entertaining, but it is not at all difficult to get an A!
I am sure I have been here before....but LISA IS THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER!!!!! I have taken her for five classes..if she taught more ..I would take more...waiting for the "sexuality" class she keeps referring to (hahahaha) If you get the chance to take her..do...go to class..fill out your outlines and you will pass with flying colors.. FABULOUS!!!
Keeps students on their toes.
good teacher. took the class online and had no trouble at all. definitely would recommend this teacher to anyone.
I really enjoyed having Lisa as a teacher in the classroom, but I find her online class to have a lot more work involved. All in all, still a fantastic teacher.
all i have to say is shes awesome!!!!! only class in the world i wish was everyday
The class holds great discussions. The book we used this term was difficult, but Lisa is fantastic. She's more than knowledgeable of the material, and it's clear she loves what she does. Put it this way - this is the ONLY class in m y two years at WCC that I never missed, whether it was for an appt or to skip. :)
Took her class online and was pretty disappointed. I was really looking forward to this class, but things weren't organized very well. If you have to take this class, take it in the classroom.
Took it online. Won't be taking Psych 102 with her. Didn't mind the work at all, although some of the outlines were all over the place and didn't follow the book. Tests were long and hard. Grading was unclear and still not sure what was counted where except tests. Only way to contact through blackboard, not helpful. Maybe it's the online class
Took this class online nothing but helpful always. one of the most understanding online teachers I have had. and never took more than 24 hours to respond. Blackboard is the issue not the teacher the class was great. I would take it again online and recommend anyone else to do so.
Lisa is an amazing instructor. I took a few online classes with her. They were easy to follow and understand. Lisa was so helpful during the class and willing to work with the students. WCC was changing online programs to BlackBoard and there were a few issues with BlackBoard but that has nothing to do with Lisa, her instruction, or her knowledge.
Love her class! I look forward to going to class. Shes awesome. Very helpful, and is super funny. Just make sure you study for her test and do the activities. Class goes by so fast, feels like its only a 30 min class.
I absolutely love Lisa! I thought Hollenbeck was my favorite psych teacher, but after taking her class, I want to take every class with her! I took Child Psychology with her. I actually looked forward to going to class. My honors profect was super easy and I got all the credit for it. I don't want semester to end. TAKE HER CLASS.
Lisa is GREAT there is no other way to take a psych class.she made every topic fun and worth learning. she uses everday examples. makes you laugh. shes very smart. I love her class look forward to it every week. lisa bring psych to life in a way that makes you want to learn and even study her class is a MUST!!!!!!!
Lisa is amazing! Took her for child psych. She is very understanding and knows a lot about the field. Really knows how to engage students and prompt participation. Highly recommend her!! You'll have a blast!
cool teacher. she always knows how to talk to students and class is actually fun to attend. strongly recommend! :)
Took her class online, finished early. Great class, teacher helps out when needed. Don't like how you are only able to email withing blackboard but very good class otherwise. Highly recommend this course!
She knows her stuff well and makes this course easy to understand and like. However there are two different Lisas. If she is in a good mood, you get one of the best teachers in the school. If she is in a bad mood, sit there and be quiet and hopefully she wont notice you.
To say the least, Lisa is AMAZING!!!!! Not only does she TRULY care about her job, she cares about her students. She always relates the material to everyday life, which makes it that much easier! By far, the BEST teacher I have had in college. I am working next semester's schedule around her class! She's the best! You HAVE to take her class!!!
Lisa gives the requires material to complete the course and passing with flying colors. In class is the most fun you have it not only helps you learn it makes learning fun. If you miss she is understanding and gives the required time to make up the missed activity or assignment I would highly recommend taking her class online and in the classroom.
Great and funny teacher, sadly I did not learn anything because the book was never used. We were in groups the whole time. And she lectured about five minuets a day or sometimes not at all.
Lisa is truly a great teacher. She is good at relating what we're learning about to her own experiences and keeps class interesting. The atmosphere in my class is really great too, she keeps everyone involved. I would definitely take her again.
I will not take another class with this teacher. She does not help and grades are never posted online in a timely manner.
Extremely helpful-gave us two extra credit assignements to help improve our grade. Caring teacher, we need more like her.
One of my favorite professors. She's hilarious, smart, and knows what she's talking about. It was one of my favorite classes because of her. If you take psychology take her!
Best teacher ever
Amazing! Best professor ever!
I took PSY215-Adulthood and Aging online with her, and it's all on you. 4 outlines and a test are due every month. It's a laid back class. No discussion posts. 3 tests total, and one project that isn't hard at all. I would take her again!
Very good teacher. Attendance is mandatory, if you miss you may be dropped but it's understandable. She makes everything very easy to understand with real examples that you can't get out of a textbook and her outlines are great! I would recommend her to anyone.
Lisa is amazing! Great teacher who absolutely knows what she's talking about, and she always has real life (hilarious) stories to relate to whats happening. Awesome to joke around with. Class is easy if you're there every day. I even made friends in class! Overall, amazing decision. I definitely recommend her classes, especially in person.
Do not buy textbook. Her class is easiest ever taken. No presentations, just lecture and tests. No quizzes. Homework was a breeze. She is very entertaining to watch and listen to. She did get boring towards end of year/lost some enthusiasm. Overall, perfect class and easy A.
One of the most entertaining teachers I've ever had. She has a great sense of humor and relates many of the topics to her own life. She also has really funny facial expressions, when you see them you'll know what I'm talking about! Pretty easy class as long as you do the work, she makes it fun and reminds you of what it was like being a kid
If you show up to class and pay attention, there is no reason why you should not get an A. Keep up with assignments. She gives lots of chances for extra credit. Assignments are not busy work and actually help you learn. DO NOT get on her bad side--she sees EVERYTHING. I've never enjoyed a class so much before this one.
Lisa is the best professor I have ever had. She is a hawk , she won't miss a thing so don't try anything ... Expecially texting. She's overall one hell of a professor I learned a lot in her class and hope to take more classes with her.
She can get easily mad when you do not pay attention in class. Don't use your phone she will call you out on it. Examples in class are real life ones. Participation matters. Exams: 4. Tests can be hard and off topic some. She curves the test if more than half get the same question wrong. Study Study Study and that doesn't include last minute either
lisa was amazing, honestly one of the best teacher ever she is very sarcastic so if you cant take sarcasm dont take her. she always kept our class awake she made me cry of how hard i laughed. i love that she always uses real life examples to correlate with lecture.
Lisa is really, really easy. We took all our tests at home and she made lectures interesting. She's also personable too, and funny.
Lisa is a great teacher. Inspirational and likes to incorporate her knowlege from life and past experiences. If you show up, easy A. A few take home tests which helped.
There is an outline and activity for each chapter, and the chapters are very long. After the first couple, I stopped reading the book and just completed the assignments. There are 4 tests which are open book, but can be a bit confusing. Also, one research paper which is a huge chunk of the grade, but is very easy. Very fair grading and easy class.
Lisa is an amazing teacher who wants you to succeed and sets no one up to fail. She is willing to help everyone get an A. She offers extra credit even when you missed the first opportunity. She is really funny. She actually uses real life issues rather than just lecturing you all class long. Worth your money!!!
Lisa was a great teacher. She made class fun to be in and she gave plenty of extra credit opportunities so it was hard not to get a good grade. She really wants her students to succeed. I would definitely take a class with her again.
She is not my favorite teacher. She is a fair grader and wants her students to gain something from lectures. She tends to talk from the back of the room, which is not always convenient. You do not need to purchase a textbook because she puts all information on power point slides. When I take another psychology class I will try a different teacher.
She is by far my favorite professor! She makes class a lot of fun and you can tell she really cares about both her students and loves her job! A lot of the information she shares is extremely helpful and she gives a lot of great life advice. By far the best professor I have ever had!
let me just say, there's a reason why her classes fill as soon as possible. She is probably the best professor Waubonsee has to offer. She loves her job, her lectures are extremely hilarious and easy to follow. Very amazing professor!
Such an easy class. The assignments were just chapter outlines & tests. She would respond to messages quickly and was a very easy grader. The book is needed to pass. Extra credit opportunities available.
Loved this class, I took the 3 week advanced class and she made everything known and easy to accomplish in a short amount of time.
All you do is write chapter outlines, take 4 tests, and do MyVirtualChild online and one short 1 page response- super easy. Extra credit is available and there were no due dates the whole time, all at your own pace. Very understanding and responds to messages quickly. Highly recommend!
Liza is an amazing professor. You can really tell she enjoys teaching and knows the material. She cares about students and wants you to succeed. I took her 8 week class and if you show up and do all the work you'll do fine.
I took her psychology class online and LOVED it. It was self paced- no hard due dates at all. She lays everything out in the syllabus on the first day the class opens and you turn in all assignments on black board. The work is time consuming but the class itself isn't too hard.
Great teacher. It is obvious she is passionate about what she teaches. Lots of lectures but she keeps them entertaining so it isn't bad. Only thing I did not like was that you have to purchase a code for a project in her class, basically a pay to pass. All in all she made psych fun and interesting. Would recommend to anyone
Offers lots of extra credit. Used examples and stories in lectures which helped a lot. Also gives points back on test questions that a lot of students miss. Note handouts were not as clear as I would have liked but they were much better than having to take notes. She is very passionate about psychology and makes lectures interesting.
Overall loved going to this class. She connected with us and taught us through her own experiences. You can tell she loves waking up and coming to teach us every class. She is lecture heavy but they are so full of cool stories that relate to the chapter of what we are learning.
She only takes attendance 1 day a week. Gives you "outlines" of the chapter so you don't have to copy down every word she says. She moves around the room lot during lecture, moves her hands and tell stories to help remember for all of her students, good for all different learning types. A ton of extra credit and will relate the information to you.
I took this class online and it was awesome! There are no hard due dates besides on the Virtual Life and the extra credit. She's clear on what she expects and she's a quick grader. The tests aren't tough and there's only 4. You do have to write outlines for every chapter but these are mainly for your benefit. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Awesome teacher I took her online class and I loved that fact there was no hard due dates, work at your own pace.
Excellent teacher! She teaches with passion and ensures her students understand the material properly.
Great teacher, wont fail you unless you don't try
Absolutely loved this class & Professor Fozio-Thielk. Took this class online, she understood that we were taking it online so there were no hard due dates. YOU WILL HAVE TO TRY TO FAIL! Took this class as an honors class, I had this whole class done within a couple weeks. She's very understanding and helps her students, makes sure they understand.
This was by far my favorite class of the semester. Professor Fozio-Thielk is the best teacher I've had at Waubonsee, as she teaches with passion and seems to genuinely care for her students on a personal level. The lectures are full of life lessons and personal stories that keep the class entertained and help us to remember the content better.
Go to every class. Depending on her mood she will have the people who actually showed up do less of the homework assignments. She knows how to keep everyones attention during class & she had us watch a movie instead of doing an actual final.
I love Lisa, I took a majority of my Psychology classes with her. I highly recommend her as she is very easy to talk to but is still a partial hardass. I always enjoy coming to class and she hands out packets for the notes but there is online homework but it isnt too difficult. 10/10
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.
Lisa is one of the best professors at Waubonsee, easily. She is not one of those teachers that you dread going to class for. She is funny and makes lectures interesting. 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.
I LOVED her class! The QUEST activity game we played in the online class was fun. She gave the whole semester of work upfront to go at your own pace. The content was interesting and engaging and I would take this class again in a heartbeat. As long as you do the work, you get the grade.
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 such a good and loving professor she is also very real. She was such a good teacher that i picked her life span psych class!
I took her class online and she was very disconnected and distant. The textbook was used for every assignment and a lot of papers without clear guidelines were assigned. As long as you can organize the course yourself and avoid procrastinating, you should be fine.
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.
She is a very passionate professor who loves her job.
she is an amazing and passionate professor. i would 100% recommend her:)
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.
easiest psychology class. took the 3 week long corse, but wish I did the full semester. great feed back and really caring!
The online course was heavy on papers.
Best professor I may have ever had, literally so funny and gives the best lectures. Would recommend taking any class you can with her, she cares about her students a lot but also keeps structure in her class. Class was super easy as long as you showed up
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.
Such an amazing professor! Take her class, classes!
She was amazing! She is very intelligent and I learned so much from her child psych class. It is clear how much she cares about psychology and teaching her students. I highly recommend!
Professor Fozio-Thielk's course is an easy psych elective. Lots of papers, but she's a fair grader. Definitely utilize Unstuck study and the textbook for study help. Attendance is mandatory, but participation is only 10% so don't stress too much.
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
She has the best lectures! She is funny, and also has lots of interesting stories that go along with the material getting taught.
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.
Dr. T is a truly great professor. I enjoyed and looked forward to attending her class. She is a very fair grader, even though there are a lot of papers. Personally, the papers helped me solidify my understanding of the chapters. The papers were easy, and as long as you showed up and paid attention, that counts as participation. Would recommend!
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.
Lisa is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is an amazing teacher, as well as funny, caring, and keeps you invested in her lectures. I highly recommend taking her class!
