One of the hardest teachers I have ever came across. Have to do the homework exact of you will get marked off for it. Never worked so hard for a "C" in my life. She makes you learn the information just very hard class.

The tests were fairly difficult, essay based. The project was also pretty tough. I was very happy with a B. Class lectures were powerpoint based, not my favorite method. She has a good sense of humor and disposition.

Her lectures were power point based... We have a total of 7 quizzes (multiple choice/50q's), 1 research paper, 3 hrs of being part of research, and a midterm. She is very biased... focuses on the feminist perspective, and if not for her laptop she probably couldn't lecture. Other than that, she is an average prof.

I took her for psych of women. Interesting class and she knows a lot about it. Tests are very hard as there is a lot of material, but there is usually some extra credit to help out and class work to bring up the grade. There is no sway in her directions

this is my second time in psyc 5. she is much better than jensen. i am actualy learing things in this class. you must get the book. can get a B if you go to class and do studyguides verry well. KNOW THE STUDY GUIDE. read if you want an A.

I loved her class! I learned alot about how psychology works in the real world. Her tests are hard, but if you study you can make a good grade.

I enjoyed her class very much. She is clear, funny and engaging. You have to come to class and read the book to get a good grade. She has a lot of compassion for her students but the class is "not a walk in the park."

ONLINE. Homework, quiz, and test about every week. One paper. Research hours and 2 midterms.

This was an online course which was very easy. Assignments are clearly stated and you have an amnesty period if you miss some. The midterm and final are both online or in class and 3 hours of research participation is required.Because it is online you need to stay on top of things. Don't get behind and you'll do just fine.

Great online class. Very well organized; go at your own pace. She was a little bit of a tough grader on the writing assignment but there were so many points available that it didn't hurt your grade. If she was teaching another online class I would take it in a heartbeat.

Her online course was very easy. The only bad thing is that there were a lot of wrong answers on her Chapter exams, but after emailing her, she reasonably changed the answers or explained to me why the answer is initially correct. She is a hard grader on the research essay, but overall, easy online class. (no online lecturing, ALL teach yourself)

She asks for a lot, including a lot of reading. You learn a lot, so probably not a good idea to take this with other hard classes if you want a good grade. Sometimes messes up (like on quiz answers), but who doesn't? Anyway, she teaches very thoroughly, and if you can't handle that, just don't take her.

Summer class is easy just show up and pay attention. Do practice quizzes online and read and you'll do well. She is amazing for advising especially career advising. Can't understand why people don't like her! Class is not hard AT ALL and shes funny and nice! Totally reccomend!

You will warm up to Harrison. Her class is not an easy A, however if you go to class, do your work and study you should have no problem passing her class. She expects the best from her students and does not allow people to slack off. Make sure to take her tests in class instead of online.

Great Prof! Kind, funny, and willing to support serious students. Transparent and sharing appropriate subjects!Loved Her!

I loved this class. Dr. Harrison is such a great teacher. She is clear and well-organized. She is hard, but if you study and come to class you can pass easy.

Hard, but fair. Go to class dummies and you'll actually learn something. I loved her class. I actually learned something.

This class is interesting. The tests are not easy in fact they were hard because there is a lot of information to remember, but she explains the articles and clarifies any part of the readings we have questions on. I would recommend the class to anyone with a strong work ethic because there is a lot of reading and studying.

This course was very straight forward and interesting.

Very knowledgeable, very personal, love her!

I liked the variety of learning resources (books, powerpoint, online articles, videos, guest speakers). Dr. Harrison made it interesting. You could tell her heart was really in it. I'm proud to say I'm a feminist.

I learned more in this class than in all my other classes combined! I like that there wasn't any busy work, everything aided my learning. Dr. Harrison has an excellent attitude and is very passionate about the material

The tests are straightforward and do-able, she knows her stuff

One of the best classes I have ever taken. Rigorous, but learned more about qualitative research. Loved the research articles chosen, stimulating and challenging. CSUS is luckey to ahve such an outstanding professor on the faculty.

I enjoyed learning about the subject, you have open my eyes to a different sight on women's role in society. Thank you. Even though I never spoke in class you did challenge my critical thinking.

She is awesome. Manages to get a large lecture hall in a discussion and makes the class fun and enjoyable. Make sure to read the text, the tests do have a good chunk of info from the book not covered in lecture

I loved this class. Dr. Harrison is really passionate about teaching. She also demands alot from her students. She challenged me to actually study, read the book and come to class. Guess what? I did and I learned! I also got an A :)

If you want to learn about Social Psychology and how it relates to your life take Dr. Harrison's class. Just don't expect to make pass unless you are willing to study.

Dr. Harrison was always open to any of our questions. She had a way of clarifying confusion. I highly recommend this course and Dr. Harrison

When I signed up for this class I didn't even know what qualitative research was. But, Dr. Harrison really broke it down for the class. It wasn't easy and it is a research methods class, so remember that. But, Dr. Harrison brings it.

Good course.

I think I would have liked the class better as a lecture class, but Harrison has good system and I think I learned what I needed.

This class was easy, but there was a lot of work. Just don't get behind.

I don't really like online courses, but Dr. Harrison really helped me when I was having a hard time. Buy the hard copy of the book, it'll help.

Easy class. She doesn't record herself lecture. I mean I thought that's how online classes are supposed to be. so this class is pretty much teach yourself, book is highly used. I took it online and probly my last online class. It's easy, just do good on quizzes cos it adds up.

Good course, for an online course. Dr. Harrison has some recorded lectures that you can listen to. I used some of them and they were helpful, but I mainly stuck to e book.

I don't really like online classes, but I couldn't fit another lecture class into my schedule. So I took this online intro psy. It was OK, but I think I would have liked it better in class. I emailed Dr. Harrison almost every week with questions and she always answered right away and was real helpful.

I think I learned a lot in this class and it wasnt' too hard. But, there was a lot of homework, so you have to keep up. There is a quiz every week and a couple of homeworks and short writing assignments every week. I'm not a psych major.

Intelligent, charming, approachable, funny, and helpful. Having said this, BEWARE ! Dr. Harrison's main focus is to fail students. This is no secret, she's honest about putting extra effort to make exams hard. I'm an A student, yet I got low scores in some of her exams. Quiz every week (even within the same week of exams).You've been warned !

I'm a pre-psych major, so I was leery about taking my first psych course online. But Dr. Harrison has a good system and I learned alot. I think I'm ready to take upper division courses now.

I love Dr. Harrison's Social Psychology class. Finally, a professor that actually makes me think and work hard. Lazy students beware, she is not for sissy. But, if you want to learn something about human nature this is the class to take.

She is a very engaging teacher, the material is interesting and she is funny. however, the class is difficult. I attended every class, read the book multiple times, etc and I only managed to get a B. I did great on quizzes but the exams are tough. this class is not for the lazy.

Read the book, come to class, study every week, work hard on the quizzes = A

I don't think Dr. H is that hard, but then I don't mind studying for my grades.

Earn your A! Social Psyc is not an easy course. Her lectures are interesting and she's pretty funny. But you need to study, read the book, get good grades on her online weekly quizzes and you'll be good! She suggested to me at the beginning of the sememster to read the chapters twice! I did that and got an A (96%) on her first exam!

Took Dr. Harrison over the summer. I worked hard and made my A. Sweet!

I loved the online intro to psych course. I was struggling in the class at first but Dr. Harrison gave me some good advice about how to make a good grade. The course has a lot of work, but it is really well organized. If you do the work and learn the material you can make a good grade.

Great Teacher, Her class and teachings stay with me still. If you take her make sure to do the practice quizzes until you get a A on the practice Quizzes. Without a photographic memory Overlearning is best in this class. She is also extremely helpful if you go to her office hours and she will clarify in class. Make sure you go to class!

Avoid the online class. There was way to much work due every week, especially for an intro class. Tests were hard. I didn't learn much. She is very organized though, and clarifies her assignments. She is always willing to help, and understands our busy college schedules. This class definitely will keep you busy.

This class is harder than it looks. There are weekly assignments and a test due each week. The work is very time consuming. I would rather take it in class because that would have been less work. But as long as you put the work and time into it, you will get a good grade.

This class was fun, but tough. This class isn't like most online classes because there is a lot of work weekly. It is time consuming and it is hard to catch up if you slack off. However, Professor Harrison is very caring and does try to help her students pass. Interesting class, good professor, but a lot of work.

Loved the material, hated the amount of work. (although, it was reasonable for a winter course, I suppose). 1 thing I hated was 25% deduction on late work. For so many things to be due every single day, you'd think she'd make it 10%. Received good grades, was deducted a few times so it affected my grade pretty badly. No EC, no bumping up of grades.

It is a lot of work each week, but if you stay on top of the assignments you'll do fine. Even though it was online, I still learned a lot.

This class is deceptively difficult, however, it was one of my favorites. Dr. Harrison is awesome and helpful. She wants you to learn, and learn I did. You need to stay on top of assignments and readings, but she is more than happy to help if you need it and she is one of the most approachable professors.

I loved this class because of all the interesting topics and how well she lectured but you do have to work for your grade. There were 6 essays where you answered questions about empirical studies and they were time consuming. The tests are hard but if you really study and comprehend the material you'll pass them.

She is a great professor, her lectures are easy to follow and provides a lot of clear information that is extremely relevant to the material you will be tested on. You do need to read the chapters for the exam and quizzes. Most of your grade comes from your exams, which are not easy. You have writing assignments (6 of them) that are time consuming.

I just loved Dr. Harrison's Psyc of Women class. But, don't take her classes unless you are prepared to actually learn and work for your grade.

I took Psych of Women online over the summer. I learned so much from this class, but really had to work for my grade. Dr. Harrison answered my emails right away and was always helpful. I really enjoyed the readings and like to write, so this class really worked for me. This class is not for students who don't want to work for their grade.

taking her now for 145; big class with over 100 students; lots of reading, but pretty clearcut material; going to class everyday and not getting behind is essential; learning alot about social psyc;

When I signed up for this class I was really nervous because I had heard it would be hard. It was, but I actually learned a lot about women, feminism, and psychology. It was a lot of work, so only take Harrison if you're ready to dig in. No textbook, just a set of hard readings.

Dr. Harrison was very knowledgeable about social psychology & also very funny. She offers help to students & encourages discussion in class. This class was not easy. The tests are pretty difficult & the study guides were long, but if you study hard, you'll get a good grade. There's also online homework due every week & attending class is mandatory

Reading, videos, and quizzes. Offers a typical online class with a moderate workload, grades are definitely earned. Very clear about what is needed, make sure to do consistently well on each week's quiz and homework, based primarily on reading from online tb. If you truly wish to be excited about psychology, you may want to try an in-class section.

Everything is very clear cut. If you do the online readings and take notes you will pass. Keep up with the work and do not procrastinate. Good teacher and very helpful. She responds very quickly to emails.

I took her online class so I didn't get to know her personally but the class was of average difficulty. She assigned weekly modules that are clear cut, containing reading, videos, & quizzes. They weren't hard but not very interesting either. Two midterms and a final. You have to participate in 3 hours of psych studies.

Dr. Harrison is nothing short of excellent. She fleshes out the lectures with both personal examples and important historical ones to ensure her students are understanding the critical material. Social psych is a bit brutal in some ways- Dr. Harrison does her best to make this simple. You will be happy taking this class- I recommend!

Interesting class but lectures the whole time, sometimes shows videos, and gives good examples. Also sometimes gave out charts that would be on the tests . Offers study guides but reading the chapters helped more. We were given multiple choice tests every two weeks which were pretty difficult. Few essay style homeworks that are several pages long.

PSYC 2 online consists of reading a chapter then getting quizzed on it with a couple assignments each week. also need to participate in psyc research - 3 hrs total. not bad at all, especially considering psychology is an interesting subject. would recommend this to all the nursing majors who have to take this! she also gives out extra credit

Online class was pretty easy! Quizlet helps you study ;). Her WEEKLY modules/final grades include of an inquizitive assignment, a small writing assignment (which is 4-6 questions average), a practice quiz, and the module quiz. You have to participate in 3 hours of research & she gives extra credit once. The online class is $40 btw.

A good professor but lecture heavy. You will really need to make time for her class alone to get a decent grade on exams.

Hands down the best online course I've taken. Clear guidelines and grading criteria. We had a practice quiz and module quiz due wednesday and thursday of every week. Do the reading and you'll pass. Extra credit at the end of the year. She is very accessible if you need help. 5 stars from me!

I took the online class and it is pretty clear on what you need to do each week. I skimmed the online textbook but quizlet was my real tool ^_^ Inquisitive and written assignments were a headache though. Pretty good class its not too hard, just do the work on time and you will be fine

Online class was very heavy on reading. Heavy workload that's hard to keep up w/ if you procrastinate. Easy tests & quizzes if you take good notes. Lockdown browser is required to prevent cheating. Offers 1 extra credit module that's recommended to raise grade & if you have time. Research participation was switched to fully online during pandemic

The weekly module usually consists of reading the chapter, a practice quiz, a module quiz and sometimes a reading assignment and sometimes we watch crash course videos to help you get a better understanding. Just be organized, don't wait last minute and you will pass. I usually split the reading in half for every week making it easier to get done.

great professor and is very passionate about her job; tests are difficult and include 4 chapters of material

She's not that bad. Idk why everyone freaks out when they have to read a couple articles a week. The thing is if you're not interested in the topic of the manyy theories of motivation, it's uninteresting. However, she is very nice and helpful to students when they ask for help. She doesn't like when so many people skip lecture

It is an interesting class, but difficult with the required readings.The exams were essay questions and I think the grading was fair.. I feel like the required readings were just too much, though, and 4 exams is a lot. If she can cut down to 3 exams, I would recommend this class to anyone.

Dr. Harrison is great, but some of her tests are unclear in wording. I personally enjoyed her lectures but i believe you could easily succeed without attending them. No textbook, but lengthy articles. Her exams are easy, just study a ton before. They are mainly essay questions and some multiple choice. Great professor- funny, accessible and caring

Professor Harrison is my favorite professor at Sac State. The best lectures. Interesting topics and great delivery in lectures.

Dr. Harrison's class is challenging but engaging. The essay-heavy exams require a lot of preparation, but her approachable teaching style and helpful use of unstuck AI make it manageable. Attend lectures and use study tools to succeed.

I like Dr. Harrison, but I felt that the scores of the test shouldn't be so high where it impacts on our grades.

The tests in this class account for a major part of the final grade. But, Dr. Harrison makes darned sure you have a thorough understanding of the material. I have learned more in her class than in any other. If having to apply yourself doesn't scare you, take Dr. Harrison. She will make absolutely sure you learn the information provided.
