Psy v01 was very easy. Just follow the packet instead of the book. Don't buy the book, is not needed. Everything on the exams is on the manual, and at the movies you see or slides she puts during class. Exams are easy common sense, but even if you don't agree on answers she won't give credit.

It was an online class so I did have to read a lot. The only fun part are the crash courses she makes us watch which are entertaining. However, she asks questions from the videos and some responses can be long. Quizzes difficulty are average. She is very caring.

took psychology online and it was dreadful. It is totally possible that she has great lectures in person, but oh my god it was so boring it was hard for me to even retain information. She also took points off because I wrote more than a paragraph for her crash course responses. The work isn't very hard though, and lots of extra credit.

Exceptional professor. She really cares about her students. Provided thought-provoking lectures and discussions, which I'm sure is hard to do in the middle of a pandemic. 10-15+Discussions, 5 Quiz (50pts each), and lots of E.C. Everyone should take her personal growth class. I learned so much about myself & the world. 100% recommend it.

One lecture per week with 1-2 discussions (sometimes an extra-credit one) and a quiz every two weeks, with no final or midterm. Does not accept late work and will drop your lowest quiz score at the end of the semester.
