good prof, but makes you work for the grade, especially on tests - READ THE BOOK

very thorough and requires extra work besides tests. Great professor!

Not an easy course, but definitely informative and helpful. one of the college's best! VERY student centered. you do need to come to class and read the book!!!

Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. NO FINAL EXAM. Great class

She is an excellent teacher. Interesting class. Read the book and take notes. Great maymester class. We had interesting assignments. Be prepared to hear feminist talk though. I would definitely reccomend.

This course is fairly difficult. I got a B in the course, but I studied my butt off! She is pretty nice though. I would recommend that you take her; she knows a lot and she is my advisor!!! So read, study hard, and prepare to write a huge paper (7pages). But she is not bad.

I took this professor awhile back, but got to talking to some students and realized she hasn't changed. She was without a doubt a large component in why I did not do psyc. as a major. The volunteer work is good for you, the tests are bad for you. She is willing to help if you want it. Suck it up!

Very nice and caring professor. Gives 4 tests and 1 paper. Volunteer or go to campus talks for extra credit. Read the book! Tests come more from book then lecture but are not too bad.

Class is easy, tests are very hard. Interesting class, I liked Mrs. Ross but it was a very hard class. Does give extra credit opportunities

her feminist views overshadow her teaching. Kind of gets on my nerves. boring class, easy paper assignments, easy tests, lots of reading. take someone else if you can.

The 1st class i took with her i got a D because i didnt try and never went to class. The 2nd class i got a B because i put the effort in. She is fairly liberal in her views, but she is fair and very passionate about what she does. One of my favorites & one of the better profs at CofC.

Doesn't take attendance, going to class is a must, and read the book. Likes extra credit stuff and volunterring, and let's you tell her what grade you think you deserve. I had a bad semester, barely went to class, and came out with a B because I told her I thought I deserved it. I liked her.

Very fair teacher, if you come to class and read the material you will do great. Has office hours and is willing to help you. Wish I could've taken her for more classes! If a psych major a must take teacher!

Psych of Gender. This was one of the best classes I took and Dr. Ross was great. Take the class. It's so interesting. :)

essentially one of the best professors i have ever had. she's incredibly easy to approach, and is really willing to meet with you if you don't understand. gives excellent notes, has a whole lot of experience and passion, and the discussion in the class is really interesting. pretty liberal, but being conservative won't affect your grade.

All sorts of amazing. This class made me think more than any other. Very strict about punctuality but otherwise an easy, reasonable grader. Tests and work load are relatively easy as well. Material is interesting and thought provoking. Please do yourself a favor and take her!

really stimulating course

I enjoyed this class. Big on discussion, it's okay if you don't read the book before each class, but you definitely need to for the exams! Exams were kind of hard, but fair. A lot of assignments, but they were parts of the paper due, so it made you stay on top of the paper. Some times lecture would get behind, so the next class we'd rush a lot.

nice teacher! very willing to have class discussions instead of lectures only. i learn easier with examples and she gives a ton. tests are pretty challenging, but as long as you come to class and keep up with the reading (read ALL of it- a lot of the test comes from the reading that you don't discuss) you will do fine in this class!

Dr. Ross always keeps the class engaged by telling stories and encouraging discussion. Class is lecture-based, but she will test you on things not covered in class, so read the textbook before exams. Tests are not easy, so study hard! Lots of outside papers that aren't worth many points, so it seems like a LOT of work. Fun class though, take her!

REALLY sweet woman, but her tests are so so so hard... you MUST read the text book (yes the whole thing) but she is such a character!!! I loved her class...except for the tests

I love Dr. Ross. I declared my psych major and asked her to be my advisor after taking this course. Shes great and losts of great class discussion. but its true what everyone else says about her tests - must do the reading. i worked really hard (did poorly on the first exam) and ended up with an A-

I loved Prof Ross! She is incredibly interesting and you discuss a lot so its not straight lecture. READ the book or you wont do well. She is hands down the best Psyc prof. I've taken! If you get the chance then take her class! You'll learn a lot.

Dr.Ross is ok. I was a little pissed about cost of the "text" books, because you can not sell them back. ALOT of READING..TONS.She also makes you do community service..yea idk i didn't do it, brought my grade down but didn't understand forcing someone to volunteer. if your a big feminist take it... if not.. the ****ing might get annoying.

Professor Ross is great! Her lively personality keeps class interesting. Her tests are challenging, but not impossible to do well on. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you go to lecture you will do much better on the exams (6). Her exams come from her powerpoints(which she sends to you) and the book. READ THE CHAPTER.

I loved her. You will never fall asleep during a class- interesting material; if you go to class you should do well on exams- she does put in some questions from book too-you will do better to find major points in book- I really enjoyed this class

i love the class but the tests are very challenging and you have to do volunteer work.if youre willing to work hard and read then take the class,otherwise,do not take her class

Wonderful teacher! Very enthusiastic. Loved her

It's fun while you're in class and she's really enthusiastic, but the tests are IMPOSSIBLE. I understood all of the material and still couldn't break a 75. There are 5 tests and 6 papers, 1 of which is based on 8 hours of mandatory volunteer work. Ridiculous amount of work for this class. Don't recommend.

I've taken WGST 200 and PSYC 350 with Dr. Ross, and I've never had a problem with her. As long as you do the readings and talk in class, your participation is set, and just follow her essay guidelines. She is hilarious and an interesting lecturer. I've loved both classes with her! She's only hard if you put forth no or little effort.

She is such a caring professor and she LOVES the material. The tests are hard but I made an A- test average for studying usually only two nights before. READ THE TEXT BOOK AND USE THE ONLINE QUIZZES. She takes some questions from that site so you're dumb if you dont use them. It isnt an easy class but she is by far the best Social Psych Professor

Took her for WGS, she's super passionate about the topic and is a really awesome woman in general. She's pretty laid back and really wants the students to share stories/experiences so a lot of time in class is spent on people discussing their own experiences which is awesome. And she's really good at seeing both sides of the argument

Professor Ross is an obvious expert in her field and somehow still manages to be the most approachable, considerate human. Her social course consists of a wide range of topics. She also encourages interesting discussions that are actually applicable to our daily lives. Social was not an easy class but if you read and attend class you will do well!

Really great professor and super cool class. She can be a little unorganized but her lectures are solid. Fair grader on papers but you won't do well on quizzes if you don't study. Quizzes come from lectures, notes, and reading. Only real downside is the mandatory community service assignment. 10 hours of community service and an paper.

Really great professor. She makes social psychology really interesting and her tests are more than generous. She gives you many opportunities to have a good grade.

Dr. Ross is a great person. You can tell she really cares about what she's teaching. Her lectures are interesting and inspiring. Make sure you go to class and really study the notes. There is a lot of reading and there may be pop quizzes on it. The quizzes are difficult so make sure you have a grasp on the material. Overall, a great teacher.

TONS of reading in the course and very difficult quizzes (5 of them.) Lisa is a good professor and keeps class interesting but is a tough grader and you're always unsure what grade you'll get on her papers (3 of them.) Participation matters!! I still would recommend this class because I definitely learned a lot but its a tough one.

At times she can be one of my professors because she cares so much about the subject and wants to see you do well. She is a very tough grader but if you do all the readings and study well, you will be fine. Participation is a very big thing and she will give difficult pop quizzes if she thinks students are not doing the readings.

Dr. Ross is the BEST professor I have ever had at the College. She is dedicated to both psychology and WGST, and wants you to do well. She has high expectations for her students because this is COLLEGE, so if you want an easy semester, or plan on slacking, don't take her. For those of you who actually want to learn, she is the absolute greatest!

Amazing and super caring professor. The class was super interesting and so were her lectures. She gives reverse exams, so you don't really have to study and you can get full credit on test corrections. Kind of a lot of outside stuff to do (volunteering, papers, etc) but none are super hard. Very responsive on any papers you turn in.

Nice woman who cared very strongly aboout our academic success and pushed us toward it. Kind of frustrating at times because tests were extremely difficult. Also she has a pop quiz policy if participation is bad and the pop quizzes are 2 questions each. At the end of the day she'll make you work but if you do what she asks you'll be fine.

You have to go to class and take good notes, things covered in class will show up on the quizzes! Theres are a ton of requirements for the class and its a pain but it's manageable. You have to work really hard to get a good grade in this class and I would skip it if you have alot going on outside of school.

Loved this class! Great professor who has a lot of knowledge and knows how to keep the students interacting. There are a lot of small assignments so you actually have to do the readings but its not hard. I would recommend the class! All tests and quizzes are based off the readings.

This class is an easy A if you put in the work. Discussion posts count for a lot of your grade so as long as you remember to them. The material is conveyed very well and you know what is expected on your assignments. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit.

Dr. Ross is extremely knowledgeable about the content and provided many useful and relevant examples within current life. The class was structured in a "flipped" setting, so lectures were delivered via VoiceThread, and class time was used for discussion and clarification. As long as you come to class prepared and willing to learn, you will be fine!

She's awesome take her if you get a chance, theres a lot of reading that you NEED to do for quizzes and class discussion but if you do the work- you'll have fun in class

Attendance is a crucial part of her classes, but she makes class more like a discussion so it's easy to get your attendance credit for the day/week. I really enjoyed taking her social psych class - I learned a lot more with her style of teaching rather than lecture style. You can tell shes very knowledgable in her area & really cares abt u learning

Dr. Ross is awesome. She is an empathetic professor who clearly cares about students understanding and engaging in the subject. There is a lot of work in the class, but there are no cumulative exams. Instead, she does weekly quizzes and a fair amount of short papers. I learned a lot and found the class very low-stress and informative.

Dr. Ross was so great for Env Psyc. She cares so much about her students and the world. She does require community engagements, but that makes sense for the type of material being taught! I have learned so much about the environment and psychology in this course. Her class really isn't hard if you put in the effort and show up to class.

I'm not even finished with this course yet and it's one of my favorite classes I've taken at CofC. Dr. Ross is very passionate about the material and teaches the class "flipped," so you do the work beforehand and then discuss during class. It has been so interesting and engaging and the class set-up has really allowed me to absorb the material.

I love Dr. Ross; she is such a kind professor and genuinely cares about students and their success. She is a tough grader, but if you follow directions/syllabus for the assignments, you will be fine. PARTICIPATE IN CLASS DISCUSSIONS! There are a lot of mini papers, but if you follow the syllabus, you will get an easy A. Cannot recommend her enough!

Ok, so she's cool but she's a tough grader! If you do your work in time and put thought into what you're turning in, you'll be fine! Good lectures!!! Sometimes rubrics can be unclear and instructions repeated and changed so watch for that! Don't let it get to a point where you have pop quizzes just read and participate!!!!!!

Professor Ross was defiantly a tough professor. Participation matters in this class since the lectures are discussion based so if you are not comfortable speaking in front of the class then this course may be challenging for you. Overall, she was an amazing professor and I did learn a lot in her class.

Very passionate about her work and loves interacting with the class. No midterm, no final. The only complaint is that she grades essays harshly on grammar, despite the class being for gender studies. I didn't show up often but received a 100% on participation.
