Very boring class. She really could have added alot more to it, but she is organized and gives extra credit. An "A" average in the class and you don't have to take final.
Intesting class, but all you do is write notes off powerpoint.
as long as you study the studyguide to the tee you will do just fine on all the tests. she gives real life examples of what she is talking about to help understand. other than taking powerpoint notes she gives extra info sometinmes that is important to write down for tests.

i love her sense of humor, it makes the topics interesting. i think she communicates really well. and yeah, the study guides and notes make studying a lot better than it could be. she's my favorite prof!
Difficult, unless you studied hard....but she's a very good teacher who is always willing to discuss her lectures until you understand them.
at first i had a hard time in this class but i soon realized that if you take down all the notes (which are all given to you by overhead) and study them before the test, you will be set. she is one of my favorite professors for sure. she had a real talent for making the class interesting. i actually wanted to go, and i didnt want it to end when it did. she included a lot of A/V content with the class, which is always good. I really really enjoyed this class. take her if you have the chance.
She is a great teacher. I greatly enjoyed being in her class. I learned a great deal. She is a serious teacher yet always willing to help until you understand the information. As long as you don't mind putting forward your best effort you will do fine in this class. She is a true teacher who cares about her students.
a lot of extra credit, a lot of lecturing, tests can be difficult but extra credit evens it out. i highly recomend it for pseo students.
Excellent professor! She is extremely fair, very giving, and teaches on the student's level; Her tests are purely application; the extra credit, bonus days, and activities only add to the learning. I would absolutely recommend this professor to everyone! I'm grateful I had her for a teacher.
Intro to Psych: DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. All exams are based on the study guide that she puts on blackbboard. Print out the power points and do the study guide right before the test. Literally all of the test questions are on the study guide. I cannot understand how anyone could get below a B in this class.
I really enjoyed her class. I hardly studied, but I knew all of her examples and was able to study that way.
had her for intro and psych 2100 and i must say she is a WONDERFUL teacher. Very fair and helpful. If you have to take any psych course I HIGHLY recommend her. A++++++!
Thought I would like her, but was very dissatisfied. Had technical problems VERY OFTEN that should have been addressed before class. NEVER NEVER NEVER commented on any assignments about what was good, bad, etc...strictly recorded points and nothing more...EVER:(
Gabriel is very good at explaining things and wants you to understand. She has cute humor and great examples to help you understand too.
She isn't very nice and she isn't very helpful. I had her for PSYC 1500 and she gave TONS of homework!!!If you do not like homework or silly projects DO NOT take this teacher!!
I had her for intro. Overall I'd say she did a decent job. I often found her class to be boring but in my opinion the tests were fairly easy provided you did some studying, and the homework gave easy points. I had no problems but I wouldn't reccomend her specifically.
Good teacher, went on maternity leave in mid semester.teaches from powerpoints, really clear on what she expects, gives you end of chapter review. No surprises
Took her online for lifespan development. She was very nice and always helpful and willing to work with you.
She gives out the powerpoint, lots of extra credit, get to use notes on final. Really interesting, I have take 10 psych classes since this class!
great teacher, made things seem clear
She is awesome, very good professor, knows her stuff!!!!
Dr. Gabriel is one of my favorite teachers! She made her class interesting, which for me was wonderful because I had no interest going in to it. She is helpful, and gives out lots of extra credit. Tests are fair, and based on a study guide she gives. I highly reccomend her.
Wow! What an amazing teacher. She was my favorite by far! Extremely helpful! Do not be afraid to ask questions. She was super friendly to all students and is very understanding if you have kids, because she has some of her own. I would recommend her in a heart beat! She is a phenomenal teacher! The grade I would give her as a teacher is an A+
I should have taken her class instead of online, she is HOT! The material was very interesting learning about the stages of life we go through. You will definately need a text book to study out of because her test are strictly from it. EASY grade for an easy A, 17 easy homework assignments plus 5 bonus assignments and 4 total test. IDEAL ONLINECLAS
Very approachable and fair to all students. Her being hot just added to me wanting to go in class. Highly recommended!
Very good at her job. Her stories are very funny and help you to better understand topics.
she was a fun and nice teacher, who was great at explaining things and always will to answere questions. i would deffinatly take her class again
Currently in her class, just finished with my 3rd exam, got an A on all 3, She is a great teacher,her clarity makes for easy understanding, But if you don't study and attend class you wont pass,You will be prepared for all her exams if you put in the work, last exam There were 4 A's, 16 B's, 9 C's, 8 D's, and 23 F's
Took online summer 8 week session. Only my 2nd online class, so not much to compare it to. Did assign a lot of homework compared to all other classes (2 assignments/week). Tests were fairly easy, used the book throughout. Highly recommend taking online, pretty much makes the class child's play.
Great teacher!!!! you definitely need to study for her test but she gave a guideline sheet telling you EXACTLY what the test is on! best teacher i have ever had! kept things very interesting :)
Do not take the online class. Her homework is nothing but watching you tube or pbs videos and then answering a few questions regarding the videos. Her test refer to the book so you have to basically teach yourself. The tests are 70 min for 60 questions but it covers 4-5 chapters at a time. The online class is hard.
This professor is great, I had her for psychology 1500 and I currently have her for psychology 2100 online. bot on campus and online she is great and very easy always gives extra credit assignments. I highly recommend her.
I just took her online class for psyc 2100, the class was good homework every week was watching a youtube video for about 2-4 mins then answering about 4 questions. The test ms are 4-5 chapters each which is hard. I just don't like that I missed getting an A by .50 you need 369 to get an A and I got 368.50 most professors round it up but not her.
She is a great teacher. Lets you know exactly what will be testable and sets up the class so all the information you need is readily available. While taking the class you'll get a few good laughs and have fun learning. If you can take her psych intro class, take it.
Easy class to take online. You just read and do an activity at the end of the week. The first few tests seemed NOT to cover anything I read and the study guides didn't help at all. Just make sure to do all your homework and read and you will do well. The final isn't too bad either (it is over all chapters, but not too in depth, just basic stuff.)
I took this class online over the summer. The class was simple and very clear. You read 2 chapters a week and do a project over the age group you covered. Professor Gabriel pushes you to be able to apply what you read when doing the projects but is very clear on what she expects.
Dr. Gabriel is not helpful to her students. She gives you the lecture, but if you need help with something further you have to teach yourself. You will have to complete in-depth reading to succeed and get a good grade. She thinks life is perfect, so nothing can go wrong. Don't get sick or miss a test, because you will fail. Her class only matters
Power points, study guides, and supplemental information provided. Quizzes are not just from the study guide. Lots of projects, reading, & critical thinking required. Class required more than average time of study.
Gabriel was always very nice and informative. I would highly recommend taking her. The assignments are clear, and she lets you use notes on all tests, even the final. She also puts the notes online! The subject matter is interesting, but she enhances it by telling stories from her own experiences as a psychologist. Great teacher and class!
Absolutely the best, I prolonged taking life span, due to fear of failure, She is by far one of the best professors I've had. She was helpful, polite, she responded to emails in a timely yet professional manner. Its rare you find a professor like her.
Poster #4 is correct. Is not willing to listen or help if you're experiencing difficulties. All around poor quality professor. Would not take again or recommend.
The class was fun. She kept class entertaining for the most part. Didn't feel like we were there for so long.
Great intro to psych teacher! Most classes were lectures, had 4 group work days. All group work done in class. 5 tests all open notes and a review quiz for extra credit before all tests besides the final. No homework. Textbook not needed. Would recommend!
I cannot begin to explain how haphazardous Dr. Gabriel taught Life-Span. Almost my entire class was complaining to her by the end of the semester. Her tests and study guides do not correlate, and she was not available in her office hours. Visibly does not seem to care if you pass or fail. I would not recommend her for this course. 0 points.
such a fun and interesting class. you definitely will get the grade you deserve. all tests are open note so as long as u take a few notes during lecture and ask questions you will do fine. and lots of extra credit opportunities
Show up to class and get participation points. Weekly homework but pretty easy. Gives extra credit. The class was pretty easy but the final was tougher than I expected.
This is a super easy class if you pay attention and do all your work. Lets you use notes on all tests and gives lots of extra credit. She is not very personable though and doesn't tolerate immaturity (cell phone use, talking, etc..) in class. Also seemed to sigh a lot when people asked questions.. Other than that, good class to take and very intere
Every week there is an activity to go along with the material read. She is very clear on what she expects as far as assignments. It was difficult to study for her exams, the study guides she provided seemed not to correlate with the tests.
Loved her! Very funny and interesting. I did not like the revel assignments that we had to do. I nearly forgot about them almost every time because she never mentions anything about them in class. It is mandatory to buy the revel access code so don't even bother getting a hard copy of the textbook. And set reminders on your phone for revel!
I had Professor Gabriel for First Year Experience. She was always available either through email (quick to respond) or her office hours. Also was very approachable, kind, and actually taught. She wants to see her students succeed! I would definitely take another course she was teaching.
Only 1 or 2 Bs on the exams and he rest below, doesnt curve them.
No A's and maybe 1 B on Exams for entire class. Does not curve. Study Guides DO NOT match Exams.
I took the summer class. Just memorizing facts & definitions will not work in her class, it's all critical thinking so you have to truly understand the material. But, you are allowed to use all notes on the test. You have to get the access code for revel online so you don't need the hard copy of the textbook. Do your homework or you will fail.
The exams are nothing like the study guides. You can take any notes into the test center besides the book but it didn't really help me. You have to know more statistics and critical thinking than anything. Even when the class does bad as a whole she does not do anything to help or fix the next exam outcome.
I never do bad on tests and no matter how many extra notes i took i never got above a C on her tests. They are nothing like the exams and its ridiculous. She is the worst teacher Ive taken online ever. Dont recommend her.
Study guides dont help to prepare for exams. And exams are really hard. In our class, only couple people got A or B. On exams were very weird questions like in loosing weight what matters excercise or nutrition?
The study guides do not match the exams. This class is horrible. I took this class for my B.A. along with 5 other Psych classes. I got As in all of them. Im retaking it for grad school and cant do better than a C on her exams. 25 people took exam one. There were no A,s, 7 Bs, and the rest were C,D,F. This professor is awful.
I took this course online. the assignments were easy but the exams were ridiculous. study guides did not help what so ever. Everybody got Cs, Ds, and Fs on almost every exam. I never get bad grades generally and i got a D in every exam. Not available outside of class. I would never recommend. She does give easy assignments so i managed a B still
I heard she is a an okay teacher in person but WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE I read the reviews and thought I could do it but Im pretty sure half my class failed. The hw is easy but no matter how hard you study If you dont write every single detail you just wont do well. If you like getting A's and take her for online it's not gonna happen
Absolutely worst professor ever. Does not answer emails, doesn't accommodate, no feedback, horrible study guides. Only way people pass is by homework because majority of our class got C's, D's, and F's on every Exam. Her syllabus wasn't up to date showing that she is not detail oriented. If you want to learn don't take her class. POOR TEACHER.
The study guides were not helpful and didnt go with exam questions. Hardly/barely ever responds to emails. Very snarky if she does answer emails. Homework was fairly easy, videos easy to comprehend but none of the note taking helped with exams and it was open notes! Most of the class got Fs on exams. Wouldnt recommend her.
Avoid taking this class with this teacher if you can! Her tests are ridiculous and do not match her study guides or slides at all. You are able to take your notes in with you to the exam, but it doesnt help. This was the last prerequisite I needed and had a 4.0 before this class but got C's and D's on her exams.
She was very accommodating for me and always answered my emails ASAP. Tests were very hard, and specific. It is necessary to read everything in the textbook, and the ppt really were useless. An overall decently normal class, but tough to get an A for sure.
BY FAR THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. If you you want to keep your GPA up, I wouldnt recommend you take this online class with her! This professor does not respond to emails, and forget about the open notes exams, because they hardly pertain to whats on the the actual tests! I had a 4.0 before taking her class. Shes Snarky/rude as well!
WORST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. The actual classwork is okay and interesting, but the tests are impossibly difficult. There is a total of 4 exams, and no one got a single A all semester. She is horrible at email you back. She takes off random points for no reason and doesn't tell you why. DROP HER RIGHT NOW, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! I barely passed :(
DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE WITH THIS PROFESSOR. The notes are not helpful at all. Her test questions are random and do not reflect what you learn during lecture. I had a 4.0 before taking this class. It is ridiculous that I was able to get an A in biology, anatomy, statistics and microbiology, but get Cs ans Ds in this class!
The hardest Exams I have ever taken at Lakeland. Exams are all open note, but the questions are so difficult it doesn't matter. I didn't receive above an 80% on any given Exam, despite the amount of studying or note taking. Everything is comprehension based, so you MUST put in several hours of studying a week. No extra credit & no late assignments
This class unnecessarily hard! The exams are EXTREMELY difficult, even with notes. Questions are so random. The study guides DO NOT correlate with the exams AT ALL. She sucks all of the passion and joy out of psych and this is my major, sad. She is rude, difficult to communicate with, and allows absolutely no room for error on assignments. AVOID!
This class is great if you enjoy busy work, reading, and studying the textbook extensively with a fine tooth comb. If you value your GPA, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE with this instructor! The PP slides are basically useless. The study guides DO NOT go along with the insanely difficult exams that consist of completely random questions. Not worth it. RUN
The homework assignments were worth 15pts and she gives you a lot of questions with 3 part answers the time you have to put in versus what you earn in return is ridiculous shes a very tough grader her quizzes are almost impossible to finish in the lack of time she gives you do your research before choosing HER!!!
If you value your GPA look elsewhere I got a B in biology I barley made it out this class with a C her test questions are ridiculous and the homework is a waist because its no room for error RUN!! Do your research on another teacher before taking her and if you dont find a teacher take this course at tri-c
I would not take a class with her again. It was a pretty easy course however, she does not answer emails or give any feedback. Her tests were fine if you used the study guide.
I took professor L. Gabriel for psyc 1500, psyc 2100 and psyc 2600. Inreceived a B in all three courses. Professor Gabriel gives you work that requires a lot of studying. If you want to pass you must study. Tests are open book and open notes. I took in person psyc 1500 and online for 2100 & 2600. I will be taking her for psyc 1400 and psyc 1700
I personally just found her to be no help and as a high school student taking a college course, she didnt teach me one thing.
NO point in using her PP notes, they will not help you on the test! Test questions hard! Read textbook & take your own notes. WRITE down ALL of HER & the books examples! Attendance, YES. Gives in-class ex credit. Does not respond to emails or answers questions well. Easily gets distracted. HW & assignments fair, but hard reading helps.
The online class was way better than her in person class. Gives ex credit. Her power point notes were helpful for the online class. Allows students to use notes on test, provides a 8/10 useful study guide. Test questions are not definition they're examples, if GPA matters to you study well and understand material. Only way your getting an A.
Never answer emails, doesn't give good feedback when needed. You don't interact with her much; you read a lot and do assignments. Make sure you read and do the study guides and copy all the examples that will be on the exams.
Professor Gabriel is the most amazing professor. She engages all her students in her lectures and does not read straight from the slideshow. She is easily accessible and very understanding. If you have the option to take her class, TAKE IT!! This class has made me very passionate about psychology and overall loved the class.
Dr.Gabriel was excellent. She responds to emails quickly, has clear expectations, and offers lots of extra credit. She is clearly passionate about psychology and shows a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge every lecture. I would absolutely recommend her into to psych class.
Horrible class to take for your first semester. Expect lots of work and pointless studying. Questions on the quizzes have nothing to do with the online textbook given and isn't very helpful. Homework assigned has very little to do with chapters in the textbook and the extra credit is pointless. The class might be better in person, but awful online.
Dr. Gabriel is the best professor I've had at Lakeland so far. Her lectures are engaging, she's passionate about her material, and she's fair with her grading. Her tests are easy; the final was online and it was open-note so basically impossible to pass. As long as you pay attention in class, you'll do just fine.
Professor Gabriel is fair and reasonable. She is not handing out free As but you can get one if you work for it. Tests are open note and book but the book may not be the digital version. Be VERY thorough when filling in your study guides. There is no way around reading the chapters but homework is super easy. Lots of easy extra credit
I really thought this class would be at the very least somewhat enjoyable. Boy, was I wrong. As others before me have said, the test are incredibly and unreasonably difficult and impossible to pass. The study guides leave you wasting hours on it to feel prepared just to start the test and then be unable to use them because they don't relate.
I debated dropping after being accused of cheating multiple times and threatened to report me to the dean over a 5 point homework assignment. I decided to stay, I regretted it let me tell you. There was 4 exams throughout the semester including the final and to tell you the truth I don't know where those questions came from. Run! Worst professor!
insanely book heavy. super tough grader on projects and rubrics were incredibly unclear. random completely unrelated questions on exams
Great teacher, not too much work, exams are kinda tough. Overall great teacher.
Read the chapters, be thorough on your study guides, complete the extra credit and just use a little bit of common sense on the exams, you should pass this class with a B+ or higher. This professor does a great job communicating with the class and letting students know how they can perform better. Don't be a slacker and you'll be fine!
