Wouldn't take again

Students were not notified that she would be instructing the summer session for research methods and not Harrison. The Group project was difficult due to time constraints. She would always try and find trivial stuff for us to do to keep us there for the full class time. Passed the class not really feeling like I learned anything. So much for 3k.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Dr. Sandberg is an amazing professor and woman. She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She offered A LOT of extra credit throughout the semester. The exams were not hard if you paid attention in class and studied the study guides. Mastering homework, but you only need an 80% to get full credit (!!!). TAKE HER.

Dr. Sanderberg is a really nice lady. Her lectures are okay, quick and straight to the point. You watch some videos in her class and she makes you do group activities at the end of lecture a few times but they are easy points.

There are tests every 4 chapters, no midterm and one final. You have to participate in a few psych studies that only take 15 minutes, some are online. She gives out extra credit.

I thought that she was very nice as a person. When she's lecturing though, it kind of gets boring because of her monotone voice and she tends to just read off of the slideshow. She also doesn't round grades, which was a bummer. She's pretty nit-picky about her grading, but if you read the book you should do fine.

She's a solid choice for a PSYC 101 class. She does seem to rush through her lectures and seems bothered to answer questions because she wants to get through the lecture, but overall easy Professor. She might be a better choice her upper level psych classes.

Professor Sandberg is very sweet and caring. Her expectations are very straightforward but she does do unannounced participation activities that cannot be made up, so attendance matters. Her exams are pretty detailed but as long as you study you should pass. I recommend her if you take psychology very seriously.

The point of this class is to understand a disorder and apply/diagnose someone with it, which is why the tests are specific, but if you study, you will do fine. It is lecture-heavy, but I enjoyed her lectures. My tip is to study your notes and the vocab at the end of the chapter from the textbook.

Dr. Sandberg is decent. However, she seemed to know psychopathology is a sensitive subject and would try to give trigger warnings, but never adequately did so in my opinion. This included very loud audio for several minutes of schizophrenic hallucinations. If you have concerns with mental health, maybe find a different professor.
