She is absolutely hilarious and uses stories from the news and applies psychology to those situations. Does these awesome demonstrations using guests of students. At first it seemed like a lot of work, she does require volunteering hours. But it definitely was one of the funnest classes I have ever taken. She is just hilarious!

Funny lady. Service Learning and Demos were intimidating at first, but turned out to be not so bad. Barely any lectures, which was awesome! She applied news and gossip of the world into our class discussions. Maggie goes over exactly what you need to know for the tests. Time consuming, but fun.

Maggie is an excellent instructor, who I would recommend to any of my friends. Her sense of humor is contagious, and her teaching style is most interesting: occasional powerpoint lectures, with the majority of the class material learned during personal readings of the textbook and through in-class discussions.

Maggie is one of the best college instructors I have ever had. The textbook is fundamental to the course, but she makes it come alive with humor, openness and candor. Lots of work plus service learning is required (and well worth it if you choose the right org.) I looked forward to every class and never glanced at the clock once! Thanks Maggie!

I took this course online. It was simple enough. I kept getting full points on everything. Then I asked her about a question I got wrong on the test cause she marked it wrong but it was right. After that she's been hardcore dinging my points on everything. So don't try to fight for your points.

She was a great teacher, really funny. She tells you exactly what she's expecting, even tells you the only font you are allowed to use. Posts Powerpoint online and has study guides for test that are not turned in. She has two major papers and has pop quizes to make sure you're studying, but we mostly did them as a class.

I don't think she actually learned anything in College, that she applies in real life. she is the kind of professor that if you didn't address her correctly she won't answer your emails. I didn't put thank you for asking a question and she responded by saying its not acceptable. Another reason is because her tests often have wrong answers.

Maggie is absolutely adorable when she's making jokes, but she reads word-for-word of the powerpoints- which are taken from the book. Therefore, there is no need to show up for class but she does make you. Just leave for the 2nd half & you'll get counted for attendance. Also you can easily get the answers out of her on exams.

I've never written a negative prof review before but I want to warn others. I can't account for the positive reviews here; my experience of her is the worst in my college career thus far. Capricious and condescending; class work confined to M-F (note if you have a job or anything); far more concerned with legalism than teaching or learning. AVOID!

Prof is very nice and her lectures are fun and interesting, but don't coincide much with what you'll be tested on. Exams are almost exclusively comprised of textbook information.

Be prepared to do a lot of work in this class! Although Maggie is clear about her expectations for the class, her expectations are difficult. Be prepared to read 3-4 chapters/wk, do 3-4 pg. case study/ wk, and a big test every other wk on up to 7 chapters. Some of the test questions are so vague, or are literally sentences out of the book.

Seibel is a horrid prof. She *never* teaches anything herself, but just expects you to read it all on your own. She also assigns massive amounts of homework and projects that are pure busywork. I think she's trying to make up for the fact that she doesn't teach, so by assigning you loads of homework she hopes you'll actually learn something.

While her expectations are often clear, she is incredibly and unrealistically specific. You will lose points for certain words that while are accepted in the english vernacular, are considered "slang" to her. When trying to reach out to you she will simply refer back to the rubric and is unwilling to work with her students.

Prof Maggie is a good instructor with many useful assignments and readings to do. She is a tough grader but rubrics are very clearly laid out so easy to follow on what she expects. If you want to learn and apply psychology to life then take her class. She is good!

This course seemed excessively difficult to me. I spent 15-20 hours weekly in order to get an A. We had 4 assignments due each week (quiz, discussion post, responses, case study) & an exam every other week. The class is TEXT HEAVY with no lecture. Written assignments were interesting, quizzes/tests were quite difficult even with the study guide.

Everything is based on the textbook with virtually no teaching, constant tests and assignments. Very specific answers required on tests and on two occasions when I asked for the in text quote could be found, she sent me text without the word. Always says to refer back to the rubric even when you have a perfect score. Never take her class!!

Prof Maggie is very clear on her grading criteria. This class was a bit more difficult than other psych classes I have taken, but her assignments were very thought provoking that helped you retain the information being studied. If you are transparent with her she's very understanding. If you ask her questions, she's great with feedback.

Such a nice professor! She gave us all the information we need to pass in syllabus (due dates, grading criteria, and explanations we needed). I could picture her smiling when she write comments on graded assignments. Super easy class to pass with an A if you just do the work on time! Would recommend to anyone online!!

You complete the same 4-5 assignments a week, giving no room for creativity and leaves you feeling burnout by week 5. Textbook based class, allows her to have minimal teaching opportunities, and minimal connection with students.

I had Professor Maggie and she is the worst teacher I have had so far at Bellevue College. She has your read 40+ pages out of the text book for a 10 question quiz and her tests are overwhelming. She doesn't allow you any late work and even if you have a relative who passed away, she wants proof of relation. She is not helpful whatsoever.

This class keeps you busy. There's about 4-5 assignments every week. She's such a tough grader, and she can deduct 5 points for the tiniest mistake. She doesn't accept late submissions too. On the bright side, we get opportunities for extra credit and she takes time writing genuine feedback and comments.

Man, the attitude on this one. There are weekly quizzes, weekly discussions, weekly (at least) 30 pages of reading, and exams every other week. No late work at all, forget having a disability. If you're hit with a big life moment unexpectedly, don't expect an ounce of empathy or help. The readings are relatively easy, as well as discussion posts.

This class was a lot. Each week there is a discussion, quiz, real life lab, and sometimes a random paper. You have to read an insane amount. You should be prepared for at least 3 hours of work a week. Don't take this class if you don't have to

Regular tests are quite calamitous. We are to review videos and pick correct statements. These often use information not in the video. Sometimes they are completely ridiculous. For example - one answer infers it's better to study while crying, angry or in love. What? When I asked my classmates about it, they thought the statements were bizarre.

In her online classes, you basically learn by yourself, I would rather recommend you to just read the book by yourself. She will not explain anything, just give you quizzes where you complete sentences from the book and not where you apply the content. I was super excited to take this class, but I am now really frustrated.

For "positive Psych" she expected perfect written APA style papers. When I asked in different ways, multiple times for help, I was always referred to the syllabus. I came from a GED. I needed help with this an was ignored. My grade suffered to B- as I never did write to her standard despite youtube tutorials i tried but fell short in her eyes.

Unfortunately, she grades work very harshly. I have been docked points for not having enough detail or doing things wrong after being given very little detail in the instructions for the work. Also, I was docked points for doing a formal APA heading instead of just my name.

She was absolutely terrible in all my years of schooling I have never disliked a professor so much in my life. I missed a quiz due to a friend of mine passing away and I just wanted to take it a day later. She required me to send her an obituary when I sent her a picture of it she then required me to send the whole obituary.

Exams are one-day only, and quizzes are subjective, poorly worded fill-in-the-blanks with 1 min/question. No lectures; the study guiade is unhelpful. While extra credit is offered, it barely compensates for the flawed lessons and heavy workload and you barely break even doing it. A 4-hour exercise/extensive essay assignment as well. Not worth it.

If you care about learning, please seek another professor. Thinking about asking for feedback? Keep it as a thought for someone who cares. I have never met someone who hate their job so clearly as this woman here. I would rather get into a collision than take her again. A waste of time and money.
