teaches well. very nice and understanding lady. makes everything comprehensible and interesting. wish i could have her again!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! Very clear,keeps the class interesting.extremely helpful.would love to take a class with her again.TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU CAN!
OMG shes the best prof I've had at kcc! She's clear,organized,opened and makes it a comfortable environment to speak in class.She is so easy to get in touch with...idk what else to say she's great!One thing though, her tests are no joke..READ THE MATERIAL!
shes a great teacher, she was very organized and made the class interesting w her sense of humor, but her tests are ridiculous!!! you must read ur notes daily nd study the text 2 pass her exams w a high score, they're hard!
Great professor, very funny and makes the class lively. I agree with everyone else in order to pass read your material and get to know her. Her quizzes are also identical to the questions on the exams so study the quizzes.oH read the PP slides too.
Shes GREAT! very easy to communicate with you can email your work rather than it being late. Shes very understanding and keeps you informed with whatever you need. Plus she funny and keeps the class lively
great professor. miss her class so much. she knows how to engage her audience.
She's an amazing Professor, I would definantly take her class again. Very extrovert personality makes you very into the class not strict at all. She explains everything thoroughly, very clear always willing take the time to help you understand
Rather than just memorizing the material, she really pushes you to understand and make the connections on what is covered. You will need the textbook for this class as the exams are based off the content. She has a great personality, sense of humor and very informative.
Dr. Paler is a great professor and is very knowledgeable. She makes the material very clear and relatable, and is extremely funny. She is very understanding but does not play when it comes to submitting assignments on time. Must take for psychology!
awesome prof! its a lot of work for a 3 credit class but in the end of the day it pays off. i didn't do well on my tests at all and still got an A, since the class includes a lot of different components adding up to ur final grade including extra credit! take her and u defiantly wont regret it.
shes awesome! requires to pay attention. but shes awesome!!!LOVE HER!
Love her! She is very clear and has no problem going over anything you ask her. She tries to make class interesting by related psychology to our current life. The tests are easy if you really know your stuff. Highly recommend her.
Great Professor!! Show up, do what you're supposed to and you you'll do fine. Put some effort into studying and this class wouldn't be difficult. She teaches everything that's on the test, no surprises. Take her class because she makes it interesting & very understandable. She is also really funny, open minded & she drops the lowest test.
Shes the nicest professor ever, she makes everything so clear and interesting , and she is so funny!! her test are easy if you study all the material, psychology isn't an easy subject but she makes everything so interesting and clear, and she gives you power points to help you study at home which is so helpful!
Amazing ! She is very easygoing and her classes r so enjoyable. She has alot to say and loves active participation. Take her !!
Shes not that bad but the tests were too long , omg it feel like you took a midterm everytime she gave a test.
She's an awesome professor! However, her tests are extremely difficult and confusing. You MUST read a text book and put in all your effort into this class if you plan on passing.
Great class, really enjoyed and veryyyy interesting. I always looked forward to her class.
90% of your grade is based on test. 10% is based on assigments she gives out. Doesn't accept late assignments. Never understood the way she taught. Very strict. Wouldn't reccomand her to no one. Please don't take her you will regret it.
90% final grade is based on the test. There's four test, she will drop one the lowest. However, all her tests are so difficult and confusing. It's so hard to have a good grade. Her lecture is so interesting. If you want a A, don't take her. If you don't want a boring lecture, take her.
I did most of the reading and did more than fine. She hands out sick notes for her tests (I still recommend taking your own as well), drops your lowest grade (including your final), and gives you a chance at extra credit. Really enjoyed having her, she really made psych exciting for me. Just show up and listen, with her it won't be hard!
Loved her as a teacher. I had her my first semester for Psy 11 and took her again for Psy 32. She's very helpful and understanding. Also really funny. She makes Psy interesting and inspired me to take up psy as a minor. Would recommend her class for any one taking Psy.
One of the best professors in kbcc. Take her class!!
She likes early classes so be prepared to be there at 8. AM. Her class is worth it though. She makes you want to go to class and makes her class interring. Very easy to understand. Awesome teacher!
assigns 4 essays for the semester. you only have to do 2 and the other 2 is extra credit if you do it. her tests need to be studied for but they're not accumaltive ( like 3 chapters per test)
She is helpful and well explainer
Dr. Paler is the best professor ever, she really cares about her students and eager to learn from them. If you already took psychology in high school and didnt like it definitely take her class and she will change your perception of psychology. The grade is based on 4 testes the lowest is dropped there are in general 3 extra credit opportunities
Loved her class! She's very helpful and wise, always there if you need extra help. Her lectures are always super fun.
Dr Paler is an excellent teacher, her exams often have questions that were not really stressed in lecture but was apart of the required reading. Honestly if you read the ch the weekend before the exam you'll do fine.
She makes it fun but there is always so much information, kind of hard to remember it all. participation doesn't matter. attendance does. 4 tests and she drops the lowest grade and does extra credit.
The best psychology professor ever! I thought I would hate psychology until I took her. Makes everything clear and fun. It's a lot of information but very easy to study! She actually makes you want to attend class. Such an amazing professor. Highly recommend !!!!!
my favorite teacher so far in kbcc. shes very down to earth and gives the best examples. she also is very understanding of how people feel and relate.
I would suggest to not take this professor never. She is very careless person and not helpful at all. Does not encourage a student to pass or learn more about the course and before taking her classes, THINK!!!
Extremely energetic and truly loves and cares for her students. If you need an introductory psych class to take, this is where you need to be.
excellent professor one of the best psychology professor's at KBCC.. helps you with any thing you need, explains in great detail about the work. Her test are challenging, and hard but if you read the text and the power point slides you'll do just fine.. she is definitely the professor you want to have for psychology.
I would absolutely recommend this professor if you are taking Psychology! Her energy in the class really makes you interested, she's also very fun to work with! As for the material, it is not too complicated. If you go over the slides after class at home, you will do just fine!
Overall she is a great professor, she has a great sense of humor and a nice personality but is a harsh grader. I did everything I can but the highest I got was a C+.
I love this professor because she explains on what she is discussing in her lectures by giving us examples.
The questions she gives on exam are very difficult.
GREAT TEACHER, GREAT HUMAN. AWESOME SEMESTER
OMG I love Dr. Palor. She's awesome. She makes PSY so easy. I love her grading policy. She gives 4 exams and drops the one with lowest score. So if you do better in the other 3 exams and totally screw up the final, all good, she will drop it, even the final. Love her policy. Take her and you'd love it.

Dr. Paler is such an awesome professor, probably one of the best at Kingsborough. She clearly outlines everything you'll need to study at at the beginning of the semester and gives alot of extra credit. She's also very funny and energetic which makes you wanna learn and attend class. Just do all the work and follow the course outline. Easy A!
She's a caring individual who answers questions and gives great parables for understanding. If you do the few assignments she gives, and study lightly for the test, you should easily attain a B at the lowest.
She is very kind. Builds a bridge every class, I find that very helpful to remember the key points. If you miss a class, you will miss info that will be on the test. Lectures are fantastic, energetic, great use of examples. If you review your notes, and read the textbook, you should do well.
Dr. Paler was an awesome professor, she made class fun and made sure everyone understood the topics before moving forward "Does that make sense to folks?" lol. Her lectures are very informative but you still need to read the textbook to do well on her exams. Attending class is a must because you will miss info if you do miss! do all extra credit!!
She was an ok professor. She does give extra credit. However, she would not be the first choice. I like a challenge but psychology 1100 is not a 200-300 level class. She tried to have you relate as her teaching style .Do all her writing assignments. I would not take another class with her. I passed but stressful .
Great, energetic professor but only would recommend if you have a photographic memory. Her exams were really complicated! :/
clear teaching style but exams were confusing!!!
She's awesome but when it comes to exams, it becomes frustrating .. she takes points off too? I don't understand
Gives pop quizzes on material from the book. Don't bother paying attention in class. Read the book instead. She also takes off random points from assignments and won't say why. And she goes extremely fast in class (which is another reason you shouldn't bother paying attention; you won't understand it anyway)
Here's some advice for her class that I wish someone told me. Always read from the textbook because she tests u on that, not the notes u take in her class. Look over the syllabus for all the due dates of essays cuz she won't remind u. Also, put a lot of work into your final assignment.
Pro. paler is the greats. She don't give a lot of work. Anyone should be luck to have her.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE HER CLASS BECAUSE SHES AMAZING! CLEAR TEACHING STYLE ! SHE ALWAYS REVIEWS HER MATERIAL THE NEXT DAY. EASY A. :)
best professor in kbcc. must take
One of the best professors I've had when I first came to Kbcc. She's hilarious and always reviews her material. She will answer any question you have. TAKE HER!!!
Love her class so much that I will take PSY 32. She's hilarious and her exams were super easy. She also gives extra credit.
Best psychology class ever GOT AN A.
BEST professor in KBCC! Clear instructions, helps out students, and gives great examples. She takes comments about her exams into consideration and does her best to make it easier. Got an A.
I'm taking her class in the summer, She's inspirational and the reason why I want to change my major to psychology. Fantastic professor.
I am a great note taker, I never missed class once. I did all her work, study her power points for the test and I received (78-65) on her exam, my advice for you is to READ the TEXTBOOK! She was right when she "Your textbook is your thanksgiving dinner, your notes are your fast food". She does give extra credit (Essay) and don't take advantage!
One of the most inspirational Professors by far. Her lessons, lecture and teaching methods are outstanding. I truly enjoyed going to class and doing the work required to do so in PSY32. Yes, there is reading and writing, as well as pop quizzes, however, the assignments are something that can broaden ones horizons! One Amazing professor by far 10/10
LOVE HERRRRR!
I don't usually rate teachers but this one is a MUST. She is super hilarious and gives out funny examples. You would never want to miss a DAY in her class. All kbcc students must TAKE!!
The sassy and hilarious professor ever. Her lectures are very interesting and the exams are super straight forward. Do the reading and assignments and get an A. Its that simple. I got an A- because I kinda got lazy and didn't study hard enough for the final.
Best professor ever!! She makes class interesting and shes really nice !! Also she doesnt assign so much hw !! Show up do your work and youll pass
I love Professor Paler! She is super sweet, caring, hilarious and gives the BEST examples! her class Is very straightforward. Just pay attention, do review sheet and youll be guaranteed an A.
professor paler is the best teacher to have.
Dr. Paler is a great professor. She really cares about her students and it shows. She gives many examples during her lectures to help you remember the lessons. I highly recommend her.
She is kind and considerate. Very clear and easy. You don't need the exact textbook, but you'll do much better with a textbook. Any one really
If you're not into textbooks, then don't take the class. Her lectures cover a minimal amount of material that are on her tests. Read the text book, and you'll be fine. But because attendance is required, you need to show up. Just show up, and take a nap. Read the textbook when you're home or on the train.
Professor Paler is shines brighter than every other psychology professorsI took. She is quite a character, and I enjoyed staying in her class. I would take her class again in a heartbeat.
Professor Paler is funny and clear. Her classes are to the point and she loves open discussion bringing in examples and anecdotes to help remember everything. It is exam heavy because she spreads her exams throughout instead of 2 big ones which totally helps your grade and makes it easier. Wish I could take this class again.
Professor Paler is a HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER, idk why she works in the college. All what she do is tells you to read the book, every time I ask her a question then she tells me to read the book, because book has answers on my questions. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. The exams she gave us are difficult, but again if you like to read then go head.
Lectures by power point, gives test reviews and answers on blackboard, can boost test grade with extra credit assignments, and drops the lowest test grade
Professor Paler was the best teacher I had in this semester. She was clear, funny and caring. She made sure to make everything understandable on our level and gave us funny mnemonics and rhymes to help us remember things. She also divides her exams throughout the term which makes it easier to get a higher grade. Wish I could take her again.
I love prof paler! Shes hilarious, engaging and very thoughtful. Her exams are easy once you study and ask for help. Plus, she describes the concept so well that it will stick to you! Must take.
Best professor I haven taken so far. Hands down the easiest class if you pay attention and study. Study and you'll pass with 100. Makes class interesting , she's funny. Recommend to anyone.
Prof. Paler was awesome & down to earth. This was a writing intensive course so be prepared. Her expectations are clear and she posts everything on BlkBrd. Class was always engaging & she taught the material in a relatable way. **She does give pop quizzes, but she usually reviews the material right before she tells you to clear your desk.
She is a very nice and entertaining teacher. The work in class seems easy and interesting but the tests are 10000 times harder. Your whole grade depends on 5 tests. There is no graded class work or homework. If you are not a good test taker then goooooood luck...
She was a really fun and lively Professor. She made class super fun and engaging. Honestly would recommend if you need to pass this for your major. Also I was absent quite a-lot but it didnt effect my grade
SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSOR AT KBCC AND SHE IS VERY RESPECTFUL, CARING, AND WANTS HER STUDENTS TO SUCCEED. BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 IT WAS NICE OF HER TO RECORD LECTURES AND HER LECTURES VERY INTERESTING AND MAKES THE SUBJECT FUN. I HAD HER FOR MORNING CLASS IT REFRESHEN ME UP. SHOW UP, PAY ATTENTION, AND GET THE WORK DONE. READ THE TEXTBOOK
Professor Paler is a very helpful and wants you to succeed, shes very clear cut in her syllabus about what you need to do to get an A. There are a lot of assignments and tests. But, she does provide more than enough extra credit assignment to help you bump up your grade. However, she can lack understanding if something halts your work.
Class was hybrid but mostly online. She gives you a lot of different ways to learn the material- videos, slideshow, textbook and in-person teaching. Personally, I used the textbook and wrote my own notes.
