Very easy class; Just go to class the day before the test and she tells you exactly what's on it, very little effort required.
very easy. just study the notes. Find friends and each one of you take a turn going to class and taking notes and signing the others in. share the notes. very easy.
Ms. Mason makes Psychology very interesting and she gets some good interaction with the class. She knows her stuff and lets you know her values. If you have a chance to get her--do so, you won't regret it!
Its an easy class just go to class everyday cause u take notes, but those notes are on the test and you actually don't need to bye the book for he class!!!! saves u money
She was great and extremely helpful. Gives you the review before your test. Always chances for extra credit. Made an A easily and learned a lot too.
Very nice and very easy.. If you go to class she will work with you. Just make sure you do all her extra credit and take notes you will make an easy A. I did.
MS. MASON IS SUCH A COOL TEACHER. THAT PRETTY MUCH DESCRIBES HER. SHE'S PRETTY, ALSO. SHE'LL HELP YOU OUT IF YOU JUST ASK 4 HELP...
Miss Mason is an excelleant teacher, she know's what she's talking about and she makes it interesting for everyone. Her quiz and test are very easy...I recommend her to everyone, it's an easy high grade.
I love this woman. She is AMAZING! She lets you use your notes on quizzes, she gives a TON of extra credit, and reviews for every test. Take her if you take General Psych, will not be displeased.
This lady is soooo amazing! she is there for whenever you need her. she is one of the few professors that actually care whether her students do good or not. She is very gorgeous as well... I'm not gonna lie, I'd Marry her!!! haha... anyways, Take her if you are able to, I am definately taking her again for another Psych. class!!! UHMAZING teacher!!
She is awsome!!!!!u have alot of quizes but they come straight form ur notes and you can use your notes...on test day if you are not ready she will let you go in the hall in study until you are ready and she also givs extra credit!!!
She is great! i enjoyed her class. She was wonderful to listen too and tried helping students out as much as she could.
great teacher. easy on the eyes too!
you have to be brain dead to fail this class... you dont even have to go if you check blackboard all the time and study on your own. lots of quizes but easy, lots of reviewing, and extra credit
Very communicable, teaches in a fashion that is easy to learn and understand from.
Real nice and helpful, take her if you can....if you fail her class your not trying because you can use ur book on everything even test...plus she is beautiful
mrs mason is an awsome teacher. ive had her for a couple of classes and i try to take her anytime i can. she is very clear about her lessons and makes alot of funny jokes that keep you interested. do your work and come to class and you will get an easy A.
extremely easy. do not miss the tests it will hurt you in the end. its really easy to make an A in this class you dont theres a problem. go to class there is a lot of extra credit for those you attend
She is amazing. I loved her class! I looked forward to it every MWF! She is a great teacher and if you study its an easy A! Lets you drop lowest test grade even if its the final!
Great teacher, hilarious, and easy to talk to if you need help- DO study -even though the tests are online, and you can use whatever you want. still difficult
Mrs.Mason is an awesome teacher! Just don't let her catch you texting or you have to write a 3 page essay!
great professor
great teacher. tests are online so u can use ur book and get a group together to take it at the same time. it helps trust me. read over the chapters before u take the tests. quizes are an easy 100. u get two chances and can see ur answers after the first. go to class. she takes attendance but no notes are necessarry if u have a book. she is funny 2
She is amazing. Her class is entertaining, and tests are all online. I made high A's on all of them. You just have to study.
class was fun. she is funny. tests are online. does not let u text in class. offers lots of extra credit
The best professor at Tarleton by far! She is really nice, loves to play jokes on people who message her durring class, and she makes class very enjoyable. But don't text in her class!
mrs mason is an awesome prof. and has the funnest class by far
Super funny. Very nice and understanding.
Great teacher you better take all your psych classes before she is gone. She is the best teacher in the department.
Great teacher. Learned a lot and she makes it interesting. Not a boring class at all. Watches many YouTube videos to help make sure you understand the concepts.
Oh man she was awesome. I went to her for help after I bombed a test and asked her what I could do to get my A. I ended up getting caught the next day talking to another student while she was lecturing, she ripped into me and stayed after me ever since to make sure I did well. I ended up pulling an A, she was one of the most helpful instructors.
I loved Mason, most everything we did was online, and my friends and I would just get in a group and do it all together. We all made A's and attendance wasn't mandatory, although it always helps. I hate psych, always have, but she made it interesting enough that I didn't mind learning it.
For being my first semester at college, Ms. Mason helped a lot. She was always willing to answer your questions and she helped you learn the material in other ways than just reading from the book. I'd take her class over again if I had to!
SHE IS AWESOME AND STRAIGHT UP. I LOVE HER, SHE'S SUCH A GOOD TEACHER. I WOULD DEFINENTLY TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE.
Mason is my hero!! She reminds me why I want to be a psych major. She is always willing to devote her time to helping her students. Her upper level Psych classes are hard, but for General Psych she's definitely the one to choose. I also had her for DGS and she is amazing! I HIGHLYYYY recommend this class!
She was amazing! She always lets you know what she wants and the tests and quizzes were online! Plus we could use our book. She didn't care if you came to class, but you can learn a lot if you do. She goes over everything very well and gives good examples. She even assigned group in class assignments. Easy and fun class to have.
She's an amazing teacher! She always lets you know what is going to be on the test and is sure that you are reminded that all of your tests are do. She's such a great lady and I must say I really did learn a lot in this class.
AWESOME!
Very approachable, variety of activities to learn concepts. Didn't take attendance but there were in-class activities for daily grades. Thoroughly enjoyed this class with her :)
Very likeable and friendly. Attendance isn't mandatory, although lectures are hardly ever boring and its easy to learn material just by listening. Tests and quizzes all online which is awesome. Gives lots of extra credit opportunities.
Great professor. All test and quizzes are online. That will hurt you if you never check you blackboard. Although she gives opportunities to make up what you have missed. Easy to listen to. Not boring at all. Does not allow cell phone out in class or she'll kick you out of her class.
She's good but some of her tests are hard. I would recommend her for your psychology classes.
She is an amazing teacher. She does a lot of in class work, so you want to show up. Her lectures are really interesting and relates it to real situations that could occur in our lifestyle. Her quizzes are easy and tests seem like you didnt go over it in class, but you go over most of it and the rest of it is in the book. great teacher
Great Professor!
great professor, the best one for psychology department. doesn't allow electronics in class, very understandable and interesting, helpful. Quizes and tests done on your own time and about 8 or so every midterm. grades are a point system. has in-class activities, dismisses class early alot. very easy if you do the work
This teacher is excellent. I didn't get as great a grade as I wanted midterm and its because I wasn't reading my book or keeping up with blackboard. You definitely need to do that if you take her class. She has great lectures and if you go to class keep your phone put up she is not afraid to kick you out. Overall she makes the class interesting.
She is very smart but she taught us nothing. We played games that didn't help us for the test at all. She relied on us teaching ourselves and if you wanted to pass you had to read the book yourself. Her syllabus was unorganized and very confusing to me. But, I know she is capable of so much! She sounds very smart. But not the best professor..
HORRIBLE TEACHER. She was a great teacher up until Spring '13 semester when she switched up her entire syllabus & made our class her ginny pigs. She isn't consistent with any of her work and she does not lecture. She plays games and expects for students to learn everything from that. She also does not follow her syllabus and is all over the place.
She's such an amazing teacher! She reminds me of a Miranda Lambert and Reba mix. She's super helpful, responds to emails, and lectures about interesting things. However, she doesn't really keep up with her syllabus and changes dates a lot. YOU MUST GO TO CLASS to keep up with her, and always check blackboard!! Having the book is also VERY IMPORTANT
Going to class was pointless. She basically just read the textbook verbatim. She was super rude and closed my class' final exam a day early, making me write a 14 page essay over a chapter. She constantly changes things and can't make up her mind. Her tests and quizzes weren'tto bad, but you have to know your stuff and how to apply it.
She has her good moments, but she makes such a simple subject seem like it's rocket science. She can't make up her mind on anything. She also made us download a program that screwed up my computer. Don't take this woman! I'm a senior and have had much better professors than this one.
Would not every take a class from this lady again. She is very rude and get some pleasure from belittling students. Has changed the changed the syllabus mote than four times and has no structure to the class then will complain about the students in her classes. Maybe be time for a break from teaching. I paid and learned nothing. Refund?
Great person, not prof. She doesn't really teach you anything though, she just goes through the book page by page summarizing them. NO PHONES. Assignments are normally not too bad, but if you don't understand whats going on, youre screwed. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone unless your a psych major and/or have a lot of time on your hands.
She gets off point ALOT but if you go to class she gives you extra credit. READ THE CHAPTERS for test and bring your book.thats only how you'll pass
Easy class. Highly recommend her as a teacher. Aslong as you don't take out your phone, read the text book and show up to class you'll be fine. She gives out extra credit by various ways, none are very easy to do. But I made a B in the course without it.
Absolutely amazing! She is a great professor, funny, and teaches the material in a way that is easy to grasp. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she gives a lot of daily grades, SO GO. Make sure you bring your book to class and READ YOUR BOOK. Tests are just like the book, so do that and you'll be golden
Quizzes and test answers can be found in the book or online most of the time. She grades the discussion post VERY STRICTLY. Quizzes and discussions every week. 2 tests for the semester.
Dr. Mason sets a standard for the course from day one. You always know where you stand with her and what she is about. If you attend class and complete her assignment you will do well!
If you buy (and actually read) the book, go to class, and study a reasonable amount for the tests you will be fine. This is not a blow-off class, but if you put forth an effort you can do well.
All of the people who dont like Mason didnt want to put effort into the class. Her writing in psy class is difficult, but isnt that what college is about? I learned more in her class then in any other I have taken. Attendance is a must if you want to do good. She gives random extra credit assignments. Recommend her to everyone!!!
Pretty simple class. The tests are a little hard, but all the answers are in the textbook and a lot of them are also online. BUY THE BOOK, and don't miss discussions - they weigh heavy on your grade!
I recommend that EVERY psych major take Writing in Psych in person. The online class is self-taught, but Mason's in person class was such a miracle! She grades tough, and you HAVE to buy the APA manual, but if you stick with it she will make sure you pass, and probably make sure you get an A, too.
Grades tough, especially Critical Thinking questions. Basically you teach yourself. Will not take her again.
Unclear syllabus. Changes grading criteria. Extremely rude, degrading, insulting. Not understanding whatsoever. Terrible teacher. I would never take her again and I would tell everyone else avoid her Do not take her class if you can help it.
You have to have the book, not the MindTap thing. She has only online tests, and they're due weekly. There are in class assignments pretty much every day. She barely teaches anything in lecture. You must read the stupid modules in the book.
I would not take her again for any class! she does not help you, she thinks she is a English teacher so she concentrates more on your writing then the actual subject. If you ask for help, she is very rude and brings your self-esteem way down. Do not be surprised if she ruins your day by her attitude.
First off all of her test are online you get TWO attempts and they are open up until midterm and finals. The final was 50 questions long and ONLINE with TWO attempts. She gives us many opportunities to do well. She is nice and her lectures are never boring. She does a lot of in class group work so you can't miss. She is a tough grader but she rocks
She's very straight forward with her expectations in the course. Reading the book is a MUST as each test is made directly from the book, don't expect to make A's on tests without finishing a chapter. Her lectures give you a more simple view of the text. Go to class as she assigns in-class work due in-class as grades, almost every class day.
This was the most degrading, unhelpful, mean, and insulting teacher I have ever come across in all of my years. As a paying student, I was extremely upset to be treated this way by paid staff at a university. I took the class online. My correspondence with her was via email and over the phone. Horrible. Avoid this adjunct at all costs.

Avoid this adjunct at all costs! Worst.
I will never take her again! I took her for 2 different classes and both ended the same. She definitely plays favorites, and it is known that she seems to grade males a lot harder than females. I recommend to avoid her like the plague, but if you HAVE TO take her, you better get on her good side, or she WILL take it out on you.
Ms. Mason is awesome! Her class is always interesting, I loved it! I would definitely take her class again.
Her class isn't easy but it's worth it. She cares about her student and you will definitely learn something. She wants you to succeed if you are willing to give effort. Never skip class. She takes participation grades often.
I have had Mason for 2 classes one online and one in person. She is pretty clear on what she wants. She is a tough grader. She grades hard so you will learn and know better for the next paper. The quizzes and tests aren't to hard just read the chapter. You do have papers to write. She will tell you where to look in your apa manual.
Mason is a great professor, she can be hard on grading, however she does not want to fail you so she helps you and gives many chances to pass. GO TO CLASS, she always has daily work that really helps your grade!
Wow-shocked. Sets very rigid guidelines and not willing to follow herself. Does not teach. I made A's in Eng writing classes. APA format completely different. Took online and amazed at her unwillingness to teach. Instructor late in grading which prevented ample time to learn for next phase/assignmnt. AVOID her at all cost.
Great teacher. Participate and you will pass.
Weekly online video discussions and quizzes based on chapters in the book. The textbook is a must to pass this class. Monthly discussion posts are graded tough; be sure to put extra work into these.
My class was online, and everything was due at once so you had half the semester to complete half of the course on your own time. It was easy to accomplish. There were quizzes, video discussions, and discussions, along with midterm and a final test. ONLY reason i didn't get an A was I forgot to take the midterm.
Her class is straight forward, however she does not believe humans make simple mistakes. Even if you do the work but post it the wrong way you will get a zero. As long as you are perfect and don't make mistakes you will be okay. DON'T expect a caring person!
Took for online Human Lifespan and it was really easy. I would definitely take her again! She is great at reminding students of deadlines and is very helpful!
Masons class was ok. Her quizzes are hard but can find some answers on quizlet. Her discussion boards are challenging because they require a lot of thought and sources. There's also an 80 Question mid term and final and a FUN 10 page paper that has to be done but she gives you a lot of time for it. As long as you don't get behind you're fine.
You must use the APA MANUAL
Do not take her! You basically have to complete your work perfectly to do decent in this class. There is a 5 page research paper due with ridiculous rules and she grades extremely hard! I would not recommend or take her again.
this a writing course. There are only 2 papers you have to write, but spreads them out over the entire semester. Total points for entire class is 100 so be sure to do all your work or you will fail. Also when u make changes to your papers upon her request, she still counts off. Her grading criteria is UNCLEAR and pushes things back to the last min
Masons class was great! Her quizzes are a bit tough but can find answers on quizlet/online. Discussion boards are tedious because they require some work since you need sources . There's an 80 Question midterm & final, an interactive paper w/in your major, & a 10 page paper but she gives you time for it. Got a B cause I wasn't able to do 1st paper.
I have no problem working hard in a course for a good grade, but this professor is unclear with instructions, gives vague feedback, and does not explain how she comes up with your grade. Quizzes can be taken twice, but you'll never be told what you got wrong so you can correct it for the final. There is a list of stuff that could be said.
She is an amazing professor, she is very caring and is very straight forward. She gives you many opportunities to correct your papers and helps you along the way. Highly recommend taking this class face to face and with this professor!!
Great class. Awesome teacher. Replies to emails fast and gives great feedback. Taking her again next semester for a different class
Dr. Mason is an awesome instructor and a caring individual. Her educational psych class consists of 16 chapters and quizzes with 2 exams and a major research assignment. Overall, I really enjoyed this class, my only source of frustration was that her powerpoints omit information that was on the quizzes, very frustrating so make sure you read
She was a really great online professor. It's almost a self taught class, and I liked that because I got to basically go at my own pace for the Human Lifespan. You get tons of time to do the quizzes and you get more than 1 chance to do them. The discussion posts were a little difficult but nothing a college student cant handle!
Need to make sure you keep up with assignments. Finding the articles for the writing assignments can be difficult so give yourself enough time to find the correct article.
Do not take this professor unless you have absolutely nothing going on in your life except school. Zero flexibility for those who work, which is why I took online. She treats her class like it's the only priority anyone has. Abrasive and demeaning. I suffered a death in my family and was refused extra time to makeup work. 2nd time i've been upset.
This course was very easy, but interesting. There were only three discussion boards and quizzes were very easy.
Dr. Mason's class was very easy. She can be a tough grader but she also gives you a chance to submit discussion posts before the due date and she will tell you what to fix so you can get full credit. The discussion board was really the only awful assignment. 5 of them at 600 words a piece. Felt like non stop short essays.
This class has the capability of being good but discussion posts are truly just mini essays that require 2 articles and the textbook that aren't allowed to be cited. I made A's in all writing classes and I always cite sources. Additionally, tests are only worth 16% of your grade and the discussions are worth 52%. Her grading is extremely tough!
I took Professor Mason's lifespan growth and development class. The only way you could get a bad grade in the class is if you don't try. You are made aware of all of your assignments for the semester at the beginning. You get two chances on all of the quizzes, tests, and discussions.
Masons class was reasonable overall. The quizzes and discussion boards require effort, but using resources like unstuck AI can help. Manageable workload if you stay on top of it.
Dr. Mason has been almost non existent since the beginning of the semester. She is very unclear in what little feedback she gives. This shouldn't be a very difficult class, but she doesn't explain much of what she wants other than to say refer to her rubrics and the apa manual.
This professor gives the most vague feedback on assignments. It's very difficult to get any response from her, and she's very inconsistent in her grading.
Dr. Mason certainly stands on business, but she is an amazing professor. She's very understanding and grades fairly. She always gave us feedback on major assignments before the final grade, to help her students do as well as possible. The only thing I would say to beware of is her online classes, especially for writing in psyc, it is best in person
