dont ever go to class...study her online notes night before test and get an A

shes real cool...gives you the notes you neeed to study

lots of extra credit and notes are online! no attendance

Class is semi-boring if you have a complex mind that needs continuous stimulation. Good thing is, no need to come to class. Everything is online, could study a total of 4 hours for entire semester and make an A. She's very nice aswell.

easy class, study the online practice tests.

She is an excellent professor. Very smart and helpful! She is truly one of the department's finest! I highly suggest taking her classes!

great prof really cares about students and their grades. have her now would def take her again

Boring, boring, boring. But an easy teacher. No need to go to class, she puts info on the web. Easy!!

wonderful teacher-cares about students and only tries to make life easier not more difficult than it already is. Doesnt try to trick you,and very nice.

shes great shes so cute always smiling dont buy the book but study your people lots of extra credit

boring class, but not hard. extra credit

VERY NICE AND HELPFUL; PUTS POWER POINT ON INTERNET TO GET NOTES FROM CLASS; TEST ARE EASY IF YOU STUDY AND LEARN ALL THE PEOPLE!

Not the most fun class, but easy. Very willing to help. Extra Credit Offered!!

I love this teacher!!! Always smiling, enjoyed her class a lot. Very Helpful and understanding. I would take any class that she is offering.

A great teacher. . .likes to have other people come and teach. Watch out because that material will be on the test.

Very easy for His/Sys a little harder for Cog Psyc

I've had her for 3 classes..she's wonderful! Doesn't talk down to students like some professors do. She's always willing to help her students succeed!

A very knowledgeable professor and kind and helpful if you are in need. Power Point lecture notes on her website and study helps too. Delivery is not exciting. She's a little 60's Hippie type but a great person. Good Prof.

She's so sweet and cute - smiles all the time. Class not difficult just be sure to know your people! Offers extra credit . . . I would certainly take her again.

boring class..b/c info is online (power point) but definately an easy A if u read notes online and portions of book...offers extra credit!!!!

She is the best of the best. Anything you need she is there. All notes online so if you dont like going to class then don't. She also goes out of town so class is cancelled more often than most classes. She is very enthusiastic and loves her class and students

I really enjoyed her class. She is very helpful and the notes are online. Go to class and study and you will do great. She is very nice and easy to talk with. I would definitely take her again.

Great professor, very accomedating if you miss class, or are late, gives plenty of extra credit!

most boring class ever!

Great teacher! If you don't feel like going to class, then you don't have to. But, she is very interested in the history of psychology, so its awesome to listen to her talk about it! I would highly recommend her, tests are easy if you study, mostly just knowing people and what they did! Tons of extra credit! I would take her again, and I am.

I had Dr. Van for several classes and she always made the subject matter interesting.

I loved Dr. VanWallendael. I had her for this class and Human Cog, she puts her notes online and has an easy format for test (fill in the blank and MC). If you miss a test she does not ask for excuses she just wants to know when you want to make it up....Escellent!!

Very Interesting class & she's very helpful!!! You get to watch cool movies & the test's are not very hard! TAKE HER!

Extremely Organized...PowerPoints on the web, with practice tests and extra credit. All the practice test questions are on the actual exam...go to class and read the book<--it's interesting!

Can be a hard class...you gotta study!!!

Very sweet lady. Very knowledgeable about the subject material. Class can be hard when it comes to the tests. If you study very well before the test, you should be able to make a high B or an A. Before each test, she gives you the chance to do three extra credit projects worth 6 points added onto the test. Interesting class topics! Not bad!

easiest teacher ever, everything is online, dont buy the book, you only use it for some extra credit, study notes online and know the answers to the practice exam, been to class 4 times all semester and i have a 93

she is the most helpfull and nicest teacher have ever taken class with. I definatley recomend her,SHE IS REALLY COOL

Extremely nice teacher, and also very easy. Her tests come directly from her powerpoints which she posts online, so you really dont need to attend class. She also gives lots of extra credit.

Pretty easy. She lectures from ppts which are available online, so attendance is not mandatory. Don't buy the book, I never touched it and made an A. No papers or projects, but extra credit is available. Class can be a little boring sometimes, but at least she's passionate about the topic. Also you get to watch movies in class!

Only went to class 3-4 times. Powerpoint slides are online and she directly teaches off of them. Study the powerpoint slides with the chapters in the book and you will do good on the exams. Comprehensive final!!!

BEST teacher in the Psychology Department. She is very clear on what is expected, test come straight from notes and attendance and the book is not required. I will definitely be taken more of her classes.

Awesome professor! Her style of teaching is so easy to understand. Made A's on all of her tests, but I did come to all the classes (b/c it was so interesting!). Looking forward to taking another class with her next semester! (Don't buy the books...you won't need them to make an A!)

LOVE Dr. Van Wallendael! She really is THE BEST professor in the Psych department at UNCC. She made the history of Psych so interesting, and I really enjoyed coming to class. This was the 2nd time I had her! She posts her lectures on moodle, but coming to class really gives you that A+. Optional paper to make an A in the class, but so easy.

Her lectures are really boring, but her classes are easy. She give online exams. Do not but MyPsychLab and the book together, just get the MyPsychLab with the internet book with it. BC if you have the packet, it has all of it, and it's a waste of money. I made an A in her class though. It's best to come to class if you're lazy to study.

Online Tests!

Funny how comments say "if you don't like to read..don't take the class". Duh! This is college! You have to read. Read the textbook, follow the notes, practise the exams and you will get an A.

BEST psyc teacher. All tests are online, in addition to all notes. Coming to class is not mandatory at all. All questions come from powerpoints online, and some questions came from reading the book. Final exam was super easy too. Easy B if you don't try, easy A if you put a little effort into it

Great professor! Really cares about her students and will work with you to get the grade you want. Gives a ton of extra credit for each test so do the extra credit. I would definitely recommend her!!

She has a good way of explaining things in real life examples. We watched a lot of interesting video clips, DO RESEARCH PARTICIPATION requirements Early on, and complete all MYPSYCHLAB assignments to get your best grade. Overall, the class was interesting,not too hard, and I would recommend this teacher to anyone taking psych courses at UNCC.

This professor is very easy but she is boring. She reads off of slides and she goes into way too much detail with simple subjects. However, her class is incredibly easy. The first 3 exams are on-line and the final is cumulative and in class. Overall, come to class take notes and you will be just fine.

She will make you work to earn an A but its all worth it. She is amazing. I learned a lot.

Had a hard time with this one. Kept up with the homework - if you do that, the readings, take very good notes and don't miss deadlines for online work, you'll be set. I missed one and it cost me a letter grade (ONE POINT). My only B in college = this class! Just work hard!

I love Professor Van Wallendael! I had her for Psych 1101 and a few other psych classes and she was always helpful. She tries her best to make sure you understand. She'll always answer questions if you ask her. Her tests are generally really easy especially since she gives you so many practice tests to look at! HIGHLY recommend!

Her hybrid class is very time consuming. If you keep up with every chapter's readings and quizzes you should do fine. She is not very helpful when it comes to online work. If you have difficulties, sorry, your loss. Make sure your computer is reliable.

She is obviously knowledgable about her field, having worked in it more than just being a professor. Tests are reasonable and well announced - assignments, not so much. make sure you keep up with the online assignments because she won't remind you and won't let you make them up.

boring class. lectures are kind of pointless (besides the clicker quizzes) since everything she teaches is right out the textbook, which you're tested online for. chapter quizzes and assignments are easy peezy, exams are harder since you have less time and more questions. make sure to have reliable wifi/internet.

This class was okay, there's a lot of material covered. The class I took was 50% online so we met once a week, and there were online assignments every week. The work wasn't hard and helps you make a better grade. The final is hard, but if you do all the work its an easy B. You have a clicker quiz every class so attendance is kind of mandatory.

Tough, but fair. Great job with communication and really tries to help.

50% Online Class lectures once a week + MyPsychLab. Dr VanWallendael is clear about expectations. Attendance important due to clicker quizzes. Keep up w/reading, PsychLab exams & media assignments. Unit tests rough - timed & on 4-5 chapters. Really liked Dr VW, she helps you try to make a good grade. Take time to do extra credit assignments!

Amazing teacher. Guest speakers occasionally.

Dr. Van Wallendael is a great professor. Didnt know what to expect but it was an interesting class. 50% online and lecture once a week with 5 ques clicker quiz. Online work isnt hard but time consuming to keep up with. Offers extra cred which is great. Recommend class.

I took this class half online so I only had the lecture hall once a week. It was okay, but if you are not disciplined and organized you will fall behind. LOTS of reading and there is no way to get around it. Chapter exam every week and 3 big exams covering multiple chapters which are very hard if you do not study.

I had the hybrid class which was mainly online and we only met once a week. I liked this class and she taught it very well. I never read the book, only used it to find answers to the tests, and the video quizzes were super easy. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for an easy GenEd or an easy A. Attendance is mandatory due to clicker questions.

I took the half-online version. The online assignments were very easy. The tests were pretty easy if you reviewed the assignments beforehand. Attendance was required in order to participate in clicker quizzes. Ultimately, it's a very easy class, but because of the large size, she is not lenient with grades. I missed an A by a third of a point.

Dr. Van Wallendael is amazing & I respect her so much. Not only is she extremely intelligent, but she is caring & enthusiastic about the material. Forensic Psych was awesome with her. I will never forget that class & all the things we learned. We watched some really cool movies too! Plus she gives extra credit. I am sad that her class is over :(

I took her special topics class in psychology and loved it! She is very friendly and provides and interesting look at forensic psychology.

The bulk of the work is online and you can easily find the answers, not a hard class and an Easy A. She is blunt and doesn't have time to deal with every single student.

This is a hybrid class so outside of the one class a week theres a lot of work reading the chapter and taking notes and doing the assignments. Overall fairly easy if you do all of the assignments on time. Lectures cover everything important, but she only lets you miss 2 classes. Wants you to do well and the final isn't that hard if you study.

Attendance is not mandatory. All quizzes and tests are online, and no class days of the test. She teaches material well, and lectures are power point slides talking about the current chapter. Quizzes are ten questions, tests 50. No attendance is taken. For tests and quizzes, make sure to read the chapter, all answers to work are from there.

Dr. Van Wallendael was a very nice professor. She definitely is tight with extra credit, so don't come in expecting it. Weekly reading of fairly long and detailed chapters. She did allow us to use our notes on the quizzes but beware of the hard tests. Read every in of textbook and youlle be fine.A lot of people dropped bc they couldn't hang with it

Professor Lori is a cool teacher. She rather soothing when she speaks which made me fall asleep first 2 weeks. Other than that she talks the majority of the class, gets us to participate in groups and give out homework at a decent pace. I took her online class which was too much work and reading. Book require but for extra info.

She stuck to a schedule. Its an easy A if you actually do your work on time. She gives room for mistakes. Great online course.

At first, the amount of assignments and regulations does seem overwhelming. However, if you stick to the schedule she prescribes you with you will definitely pass easily. She gives you plenty of resources so that you won't have difficulty learning the material and there are enough assignments that doing bad on one exam won't tank your grade.

If you can take her for this class, please do so. She was very well organized and her canvas page was very easy to use. There was a lot of assignments but they were pretty simple. For example, one of the assignments all you had to do was submit a photo. She breaks the inquiry project down into steps which helped a lot! Awesome professor.

She assigns overwhelming amounts of work, but you get used to it fast. If you don't like to take tests/quizzes with lockdown browser + webcam then don't take her because she even makes you take a SYLLABUS quiz with it. If you don't read the textbook you won't pass the tests. She drops a couple of low grades to help you though! Very kind professor!

Prof. Van Wallendael is a very good teacher. She knows what she's talking about and explains things very well in her pre-recorded lectures. Attendance wasn't taken but watch lectures each week and take the quizzes for them or you will not pass. Read the textbook as well, it isn't too hard. Make sure to always do packback!!!

I know a lot of people don't really like her but I think she was great & I honestly loved this class. The tests are relatively easy if you do all the work and watch her lecture videos (although sometimes they were terrible quality so that sucked). She provided good "extra help" videos and (small) extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.

shes amazing! definitely have to study for this class but everything is given to you and she communicates very well via email. the class is easy if you study and get used to the format of the course itself. super organized and tests were easy if you used all the study material given. everything is weighed in all fairness as well. love the course!

I've had two classes with this prof, both online. In both classes, every quiz/test was proctored through respondus lockdown browser, which is quite annoying. Still, the material on the quizzes and tests are extremely predictable, as long as you read the textbook you won't slightly struggle. As well, you get 3 tries each quiz, so very forgiving.

Dr. Van Wallendael assigns a lot of homework and workbooks. There is also a lot of textbook reading required, 30-40 pages a week. If you take notes on the textbook, complete the homeworks and study your quiz attempts, you'll do fine on all the tests! A few grades are dropped at the end of the semester and she is easily accessible by email!

She is way too concerned about cheating and it is absolutely impossible to even attempt to cheat in her class. However, if you follow the chapters closely and put the necessary work in the class itself is not super difficult. The tests include a ton of super specific information from the text so it is very important to read the book.

She is way too concerned about cheating and it is absolutely impossible to even attempt to cheat in her class. . She also will not tell you the correct answers to anything you got wrong. The course moves quickly, so do NOT fall behind. The tests include a ton of super specific information from the text so it is very important to read the book

Very structured course with the same assignments due every week to help you learn the material. A simple tip for success: read the textbook and take notes! If you complete the assigned work and do some studying before exams, you will do just fine!

If theres one thing you need in this class, its structure. Th syllabus tells you everything you need to know. Read the textbook. She easy to approach and has office hours weekly. Shes also really open to helping explain something on quizzes/tests during those office hours. Dont fall behind in the class.

She clarifies what see expects of you, so there are no surprises. As long as you take the class seriously read the textbook, and watch her video lectures you shouldn't have a hard time in her class. She responds relatively fast to emails, and will try her best to answer your questions. Fair amount of assignments with the have the same due date

The class was asynchronous, so basically all online. All modules are done through 'Macmillan learning'. It's a lot of work a week but it's a well-structured class. The exams are heavily weighted and use a lockdown browser so you can't cheat. If you're ok with a heavy workload, then this is the class for you.

I think this class was not too hard but just know that if you want to get an A in this class, you're going to have to be working for a good amount of time. The tests aren't hard, IF YOU STUDY. If you do not study, you will not do good. There is a quiz and a workbook assignment every week.

Dr. Wallendael is a very nice instructor. If you don't understand something in the material, she is very helpful. The canvas quizzes give you three chances to do better if you don't do well the first time. I would recommend having her as an instructor again.

This course on PSYC Research Methods is made easy by Dr. Wallendael. The course covers 14 chapters, but there are now 13 chapters since she skips chapter 9. I would recommend having her as my teacher again. Make sure you understand the main concepts in the textbook, study every day, and don't cheat. Ask for help when needed.

Took Research Methods 1 for summer term . This class is fast paced and be top on things. The class is tough during the summer since assignment are due in a fast pace manner . Video lectures are helpful . Drops lowest quiz and test

I took research methods over the summer and while it was a LOT of work (an assignment due every day except saturdays) as long as you read the text, watch the lectures, and take good notes you should be good. I never made less than a C on all the tests and the assignments are easy/straight-forward!

This course was straight forward, like others have said there is an inquisitive, workbook, and quiz due each week. If you carve enough time to learn the course material (study and taking notes!!!!) then you should do well in this course. Everything does get pushed up a day early for exams. Some TA's don't know what they're talking abt though.

I've taken 2 courses with her as of now, and both have been great. This class was asynchronous, but the provided recorded lectures are easy to follow. If you want to pass, you MUST read the textbook as the exam questions can be very specific. She's readily available outside of class, and makes the material very interesting.

I was feeling really intimidated by all the capstone courses offered due to being burnt out and overwhelmed as a senior, but I'm really glad I chose this course. Dr. Van Wallendael is such a cool, passionate, and caring professor. She's also very wonderful to work with if you have documented disabilities!

Dr. Wallendael is the best teacher for Research Methods!

This class is A LOT of work. However I never watched the lecture videos and still did well in the class. I read each textbook chapter and took notes which got me through the semester. Each week, there's a textbook chapter, lecture vids, inquisitive, workbook, and small quiz (you have 3 attempts). Every quiz and test is lockdown browser with webcam.

Professor van Wallendael is a tough but caring person. Her exams are hard, so they require a lot of studying. She gives interesting lectures and wants to help her students succeed. She has strict policies but only to be fair to every student. I enjoyed her class despite the difficulty.

You have to put in the work and do well in this class. She sets up the structure well, she definitely has a great way of teaching. This class is super interesting and the professor is engaging. You must read the textbook and take notes to do well on the exams.

I thought the class was pretty easy. As long as you read the chapter and study the concepts, you should be ok. As far as the cheating allegations, I think as long as you do not use outside sources or even Grammarly, you should be fine. This is not a class you can just get by without putting in the work, and if you need help, she is willing to help!

For the PSYC 4103 capstone, Dr. Wallendael is the best instructor! Although this class was a little difficult, she does a good job of outlining the key ideas for each topic. If someone wants to take Research Methods, History, & Systems of Psychology (capstone), I would suggest having her as their instructor. She's very sweet and caring.

Dr. Lori's class isn't a easy, but it's manageable with effort. Dedication is key!! Watching lecture notes helped more than the book,making Quizlet for each of the weekly quizes helps with test,and having a class GC helped. Assignments due early in the week. Tests have around 50 questions, one open-ended. Don't use AI,chegg etc.she will know!

Anybody who says that her class is hard is not telling the truth. If you read the textbook and do the assignments, it's the easiest A. Since it is an asynchronous class, you have to do things at your own pace, which is probably why people rate her so low because they don't properly manage their time correctly. This class is NOT horribly difficult!

It was a pretty easy class if you read the on line textbook and studied a little. Attendance was mandatory but I did not pay attention or learn during class. I mostly learned by reading the textbook and taking notes outside of class b\y myself.

Dr. Wallendael taught a class of 300 and managed it very well. We met once a week so every class covered something different and Dr. Wallendael always had something engaging/ interactive. You have to read especially if it's your first psychology class. The class is test heavy and the tests are challenging so set aside time to study. Recommend.

This was a fully online class, but you had to go to campus at scheduled times for exams. Not a fan of that. Professor Lori is SO nice though and genuinely cares about her students. Her grading is very clear and fair, and she's always happy to help. Highly recommend.

The content itself was pretty easy. She assigned weekly quizzes and assignments. She offers online lectures. I found her exams to be very hard to understand. I knew the content, but consistently got Bs and Cs because her questions are confusing. When half the class failed exams, she blamed it on us for not trying enough. She did offer a lot of EC.
