I took her 4 adol psyc...she goes off on her little tangents from time to time but there all interesting...i reccommend her to anyone interested in taking this course...only downside is she really dosent get into the text but she expects you to know it. but just read it over once and youll get it.
Shes such a nice teacher. Pay attention, take notes and you'll be fine. She makes class interesting. We never used the text book, but she expected you to know things from it. Through the semester you take a couple of quizzes, a mid-term, take a final and write a final paper. It's an easy grade, i highly recommend her.
awesome teacher.. attend class pay attention and you can get no lower than a B. very good teacher, no need 2 buy textbook.. take goonotes and you'll be good
Very nice professor pay attention and u'll be fine, gives lots of extra credit questions on tests and has easy quizzes doesnt give hw except one easy paper
SHE DOESNT TEACH WELL NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CLASS ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT IS STORIES ABOUT HER CHILDREN
SHE IS GREAT. SHE IS EASY TO PASS. SHE IS A MOTHER AND SHE IS SOFT AT HEART. U WILL NOT DO A LOT OF WORK HECK U WILL FOR GET THAT U HAVE HER CLASS BECAUSE SHE IS UNDERSTANDING. SHE CURVES A LOT OF TEST AND SHE IS GREAT. JUST LISTEN TO HER AND HER VOICE IS AN OK VOICE TO LISTEN TO. YOUR LIFE WILL BE STRESS FREE WITH HER BECAUSE SHE IS JUST GREAT
by far one of the best professors that i have ever had. she is clear and consice she knows exactly what she is teaching. such a warm hearted and understanding person. take good notes and youll be fine. no lie... it's an easy A
When i think of her i think of a really good Soccer-mom. Lol shes very sweet and very cute and cares a lot for children and it shows.just take class notes and ull pass the tests with flying colors . theres not really any need for buying the textbook.
She WILL speak for herself, trust me...take psych with her and she isn't boring at all!
take her class! enough said.
i took her for adolescent psych and got an A with a good amount of studying. she has questions on info from the textbook in the quizzes and exams but does not use any text book info in class. shes really nice and helpful. easy to talk to and is very flexible. she truely cares about her students
...well I know all the name of her children, all the illness that they have...one of them think that put the clock an hour head is useless...and that's it...i tought myself the class.. I took an A but she was useless...and we make a rapsong in class... RIDICULUS...
She's a good professor, yes there's a lot of "fluff" during her class, meaning we know her whole life's story..but I got an easy A, just read the text b/c her questions are directly from it. She does give quizzes. Virtual child was a group project of ours but it was pretty easy too. She's a nice lady with a good heart, not an evil prof. at all!
This was one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken, with one of the best professors. Dr. Korman is one of the nicest people and she really cares about each of her students!!!!IF YOU CAN TAKE AS MANY CLASSES WITH HER!!!
Prof Korman, she is a very nice person and she is very funny, however, when it comes to teaching she is very flaky, she is exremely unorganized, and she gives the review sheet for the midterm/final two days/a day before the test, and her quizes are useless and too hard for a simple quiz.
Very nice professor and ethusiastic about the course. The quizzes are tricky at times because there is extra information and no study guide sheets given beforehand. The midterm and the final were fair not too hard. She gives extra credit by dropping your lowest grade and using grades from your portofolio.Would definately recommend.
she is such a nice lady, very understanding and will help u in whatever u do.
Good speaker and fair grader
Overall,She is a great lady, she will help you any way she can. The class into bad, she tell alot of storys, but your on your own for Quizs. MUST READ too do well. Its not covered in class. She does give things at the last min alot, but if you read you will do very good. If you dont sit next too someone smart lolxd. Great Women OK teacher.
This woman is incredible. She has such a great spirit and is always excited about what she is teaching. If you are having a bad day, you are sure to feel better after her class. She brings a lot of positive--unplifting energy to the classroom and really cares about her students and their success. She also has a ton of interesting stories to tell! L
She is a great professor. Just buy the Super Review books: Psychology 1 & 2 plus Sociology at the school bookstore. Don't bother buying the text. Really, it is pointless. I didn't even use it at all. She likes giving a quiz once in a while and project as well as two exams (midterm and final).
SUCH A SWEET LADY! ive taken her for 2 classes so far because i love her so much! She is so helpful and so passionate about psychology and teaching. She would do absolutely anything to help her students. I wish there were more classes I could take her for but Psych isnt even my major
She is SO SWEET! She was so great and funny! A bit disoriented xD...but that's fine! Read the textbook because she gives quizzes, but she's so nice and tolerant. All she really has is the portfolio, and she basically gives the questions and pages where to find them for the midterm and final! She was so fun and bubbly, I really enjoyed her class!
she is super nice, makes the class a warm friendly environment
SUPER nice!! Love her! She will have many stories but they actually relate to the topics. Many portfolio assignments (MUST do them to pass). Tests are fair as long as you study the chapter. Overall a great class. Amazing professor.
Mrs Korman is the best teacher , very flexible , funny & she's always making sure you do your work & if you have a problem she understand ! Easy work , easy test if u read textbook .. I love her ! .. Her stories are awesome & interesting
great professor ever , i got a 102 on the final . she is a sweet heart !!!!!!! best prof. i ever had at NCC.
GREAT Professor! Took during summer session. Uses the book only for testing, but it's vital to pass. Dr. Korman used very different assignments to get us thinking. Learned a lot!!!
So helpful. Did everything to help me transfer. Could go to her for everything! I strongly recommend her!
Seriously the best psych teacher at ncc. I took her twice and she made sure that I got the grade I was capable of receiving. She does anything she can to help her students. She's so funny and would just talk and talk about her family- so warm-hearted and kind. Take her!!!
I love her! She's warm and kind hearted. She has experience in her field. She gets emotional sometimes & tells lots of stories. A bunch of easy, short assignments. She gives quizzes with 11/12 questions but grades out of 10 so it's easy to get 100's. Gave out a detailed review for the midterm, I got a 115. Great professor. Can't praise her enough!!
She is a nice lady, easy to talk to and all. However she doesn't know how to teach she goes off tangent in every class never completes a lecture. She is unorganized! she isn't clear about the project! She only gives reviews 1 day or 2 before the final or midterm. You have to read the text book!!! Or you will not do well in her class.
Second time taking Professor Korman. She's one of the most sweetest and caring professors in NCC. She really loves Psychology and knows how to teach. She gives out portfolios based on the lessons (fun ones) and gives out five short multiple choice quizzes based on the lecture and textbook. Shes an amazing teacher!
Alright she is a sweet lady very nice. She is not a good teacher though. I don't like the way she teaches very scattered I didn't learn anything I had to basically read the textbook and teach myself. I got a B+ if you are okay with teaching yourself then take her.
She is a very sweet person but not a good teacher. She goes off on long tangents that sometimes take up a whole class. We waste a lot of time on lectures that have nothing to do with the subject. I always loved psych but she is turning me off of the field. We basically have to teach ourselves.
I can honestly say that I have learned NOTHING in this class. The only time that I actually learned anything was when studying for the midterm on my own. She gives the review sheet 2 days before the test so you are forced to cram. If all you want is an easy A then you should take her. If you want quality then I don't recommend waisting your time.
I feel like I know more about her personal life than the actual subject. She goes off topic a lot, and wastes a lot of class time. She is a nice person but not a very good professor. Think twice before taking her class.
Great teacher, wonderful personality. I loved going to her class each day and listening to her stories. She can be a little scattered but she's very thorough and will give you plenty of opportunities for extra credit. She truly wants everyone to do well! Wonderful woman!
This professor knows her stuff and appies it, through her own life experiences. I would recommend her class to all who genuinely want to understand the foundations of psychology.
She is awesome. So helpful. Just fantastic.
Very nice lady. Participation helps. She tries to make it interesting, depends on the student if it is or isn't. Takes fairly poor notes on the board w unclear handwriting. Short quizzes. Take notes from the textbook to study. Ultimately not a hard class.
+very sweet lady +grades 10-question chapter tests out of 11 +sometimes extremely interesting and informative lectures +experience in the field & tells great stories -lacks focus, wish there had been more hq lectures that didnt jump around -assignments arent well planned out, often made on the spot or forgotten *get an older version of the textbook
She is the nicest lady you will ever meet. her lectures are not really for the quizzes, but she lets every participate, and is very understanding. REad the chapters for the quizzes because they are no that easy, but i would recommend her class. wonderful personality and a drive to help students. has an innate motherly type of personality.
While professor K is a really easy A there are students who really want to learn about psychology. If you're one of those people DO NOT take this class because you will learn more about her life than the course. Wish her mother gets better.
Professor Korman... such a sweet woman. She is very funny and smart, but would i take her again? -- no. She barely goes over any material that is needed for the tests, you will have to read each chapter thoroughly to get an A. Incredibly sweet, but needs to work on her teaching skills /
I hate the way she teaches, she's nice and all but that's not what a professor needs to be. Her lectures are basically pointless and completely unorganized she's absent all the time I don't know why she's even a teacher. She's a sweet woman but if you are interested in the topic don't take her class. You are basically teaching yourself
Just do yourself a favor and don't take her class. If you are even the slightest bit interested in the topic just buy the textbook and read it because that's all you will be doing in order to actually learn something here. I'm extremely dissapointed in how this class was taught. I didn't even see a point in attending after awhile.
she's absent most of the time but very sweet horrible teaching skills
Prof. Korman is very sweet but her teaching is awful. You have to read the chapters in the book very thoroughly and basically teach yourself. My class met once a week and she was absent about 1/2 of the semester. Her tests were based on everything that you read at home and had nothing to do with her lectures. I feel like I didn't learn anything.
Prof. Korman is such a sweatheart. Be prepared to read the textbook though. After I got the textbook, the class was so much easier. For quizes, she grades it out of 10 so you are allowed to get a few wrong. For tests, it's the same thing, just graded differently. She is always there to help and answer your questions. No HW, except to read. 10/10
Dr. Korman is one of the best psychology profs here at Nassau. The first day of class she made it clear on what to expect in the course regarding lectures, assignments, important dates, presentations, etc. She definitely looks out for her students and treats you like one of her own. She'll give you quizzes (read text) & Exam outlines to study.
Excellent professor. Her lectures really bring the course material to life. Understanding the meaning of terminology alone is a fine way to learn but applying it to experiences in life make it more personal and memorable. Grading is very reasonable. I would take her class again. Very kind, warm and cares that you do well.
She is incredible TAKE HER. She brings her lectures to life in an amazing way that very few ppl know how to do, connecting you to the material not only in an intellectual way, but with an emotional take-away too. She tells personal stories, and you can participate and tell your own. Do the reading, 1 quiz is dropped, tests are straight forward.
She is a very sweet proffesor but she only talks about her self and makes her class really boring to be in. Do your self a favor and don't take her stupid class. You will learn absolutely nothing.
I tried to contact her to help me out with some work that I was having trouble with and every time I emailed her she neglected to answer me and ignored me!! I don't know how someone like this can be a proffesor,they should be there to help you succeed. My advice to you, don't take her class. Horrible teacher no manners at all!!!!!!
Dr. Korman is a very good teacher, her classes are interesting and she makes sure the main concepts are understood. Her examples are great. You will have to read the book, as her classes complement the topics,so that you really understand and learn. If you are interested in learning and don't want to waste time in a boring class, take her class.
Dr. Korman makes her tests so hard! She always tells the class last minute when there is an exam and doesn't give anyone enough time to study. If you study really hard you will pass but be prepared to study a lot!
Professor Korman is one of the most disastrous teachers I have ever experienced. No responses to quizzes after submission, no feedback on any reports and questions in the duration of the course. Zero participation with the students. Totally checked out during class, might have a concentration issue? Totally unfit to teach.
Do your self a favor and don't take her class!!! She is really rude to her students and she only talks about her self. She says that she is there to help her students but doesn't care about anyone but her self. Her classes are extremely boring and her tests are way to hard!!!
worst class I've ever had!!! Very rude teacher, way too much class work and homework and her classes are way to boring. You will learn absolutely nothing if you take her class!! And she is always absent!
Proffesor korman was a very sweet teacher! Many students dislike her but I think that if you really work hard and read the book every night, like I did, you should do fine in her class. Don't expect to miss a class and pass. Hard class though!
She is the worst teacher I ever had! All she talks about is her mother and her children. She doesn't care about her students and if you email her she will never get back to you! Totally Unfit to teach.
Proffesor korman has such a bad attitude and she makes her tests so hard! And doesn't give anyone enough time to study to do well. She rarely gives extra credit. Don't take her class!!
Professor korman is a very sweet teacher! I really enjoyed her.
Proffesor korman makes psychology way to hard to understand! She never gives back any tests so you don't know how well your doing in the class! And she doesn't answer her emails ever. Don't take her class.
Horrible teaching skills! Smiles way too much and doesn't mean it half the time. Gets emotional and expects people to feel bad for her. Most of my freinds failed the midterm cuz she doesn't tell us how to prepare! Horrible
Awesome teacher really knows her stuff. Enjoyed the class activities and lots of extra credit
Awesome teacher! Class can get boring at times but she tries to make it interesting as much as possible! Really enjoyed her class.
Dr. Korman has become the best professor/teacher i've ever had. She's not in this for the paycheck- she's so passionate about her work, and is very straightforward. She wants you to pass, so if you fail, it's all you. Her exams are fair, and literally every lecture was a pleasure. She is so sweet with a great sense of humor-TAKE HER CLASS!
Professor Korman is nice and friendly. She will let you know if there's a quiz or exam on the next class; so you'll have at least a week to prepare. She also provide review sheet through email for mid term and final. She gives extra credit on every quizzes and exams. Take notes and study the textbook you'll get an easy A.
She is a terrible teacher. She gives the class so much homework. She always goes off topic in class and rarely does she ever give back any tests.
Great
She's literally the best professor I've had at Nassau. The semester isn't even over yet and I'm writing this. She's so sweet.
Shes a great professor. She gives you a lot of opportunities to do well like quizzes, tests, and extra credit but she makes you work for it. You have to STUDY for her quizzes and tests cause her questions are very specific to her lectures and textbook chapter. Show up and do your work and she will reward you for your effort.
Love her she is a great teacher, she inspired me every time I listen to her teach. Great teacher.
One of the best teachers / professors I've ever had. If you have a general curiosity in Psychology, I highly recommend you take this course - you will not regret it.
She may seem tough, but she's a great professor. Gives quizzes after every chapter. drops the lowest one. There's a final and midterm. She sends a review sheet via email, use that it's an exact copy of exam!! She likes participation. Gives one research paper that is 25% of your grade. she teaches till the last minute and doesn't use power points.
i love professor korman but her material can sometimes be difficult to follow. shes really understanding and caring of her students and really wants everyone to pass. she can be a little unorganized at times but if you ask her the right questions shell probably clear it up. overall a good professor.
Dr Korman is a great professor no only she teach good she also cares for her students, I recommended her 100%, She like participation , follow her instruction and you will pass .
Great Professor, I recommended her 100%, She have an amazing way to teach the students, follow her instruction and you will do amazing.
Great professor! Lectures were interesting and the workload was fair/manageable. She is very kind and caring; very flexible and laid back as well. Make sure you stay on top of the textbook reading! If you pay attention in class and read the textbook, you will do well.
She truly enjoys teaching this class, she gets emotional she teaching some of of her material. She cares about her students learning and gives a lot extra credit oportunities. Take her class and you wont regret it!
She gives you a chance to make up work so you can pass the semester. Shes a wonderful professor and understands you if youre having issues or difficulty even if its not school related.
Her online classes were reasonable but be prepared to read.
She's very passionate about what she teaches, that's for certain. The homework for this class is all online. It takes a while to do, but it's rather simple when it comes down to it. Her lectures are also really entertaining. The only real negative thing I have to say is that she can be a bit clumsy sometimes. Other than that, an overall great time.
Professor Korman was super sweet. She's really flexible and gives you access to all the work that is assigned through the whole semester on blackboard so you can basically do it self-paced if you like to get ahead. Instead of a textbook we use a program where the chapters are on in and we read and answer questions. Only as Midterm & Final as tests
She's one of the sweetest professors i've ever had. She's very passionate about what she's teaching, very understanding. All the work is online but very straight forward and simple. She makes class engaging and interesting. if you do the online work, you will be fine. Take her class, she's the best
no textbooks, no powerpoints , nothing on the whiteboard , you'll learn nothing from this class.
Free textbook which was awesome. Homework's every week and you can't do it late so stay on top of it. Easy midterm and final. Really great lectures and used her personal experiences to explain complex topics. It really helped me understand. She's great. No extra credit or late work
There was only a textbook for homework assignments so prepare to teach yourself all the material. Instead of teaching during lectures she was telling personal stories.
Prof. Korman is a sweet, understanding, and passionate professor. My only real gripe with this class was that it felt like you had to do a lot more learning outside of the classes on your own; you WILL NOT survive unit quizzes off just lecture notes. The "Show What You Know" tab per unit is free review for exams. Use wisely and you'll be prepared!
Professor Korman is a very sweet and caring lady. A lot of the work is on brightspace and if you keep up with it this class is an easy A. I highly recommend taking her.
