She is very caring about her students. She expects a lot from the students but the class is very interesting and very relevant to real life and current events.

One of the best prof's in the department. Really cares about a student's well-being. Open-minded and willing to talk about issues in her class that are controvertial.

She is one of my favorite professors here in Stony Brook (and there aren't many). She made going to class a rewarding and learning experience. Her classes are extremely interesting and her tests are fairly easy.

Found her to be quiet boring. Could've been a good class with a different professor.

Very intelligent, and caring. go to lecture and you will do fine, i never opened the text but went to lecture and i got an A. one of the best professors in stony brook by far. love her

She's a wonderful professor, & she treats students like grad students/adults in a way that makes you feel like you are capable of going to graduate school. She has inspired me in so many ways, she comes off as such a strong powerful woman, a great role model for future professional women.

I love her! She is one of the best professors at Stony Brook and she has a lot to teach you. You have to go to class to get something out of it though. She has a tendency to kind of spit information at you so be ready to take good notes.

shes my role model

Very interesting class, hard exams, good guest speaker lectures, good extra credit seminars, fun to learn, but not for guys or non-feminists because she goes very deep into feminist issues. she focuses a lot on just WOMEN, not men. good if you like that kind of stuff. she is smart and powerful and i love her even tho her class wasnt easy =)

Amazing person, as well as professor; love her! Her tests are rough but if you go to the lectures and do all of the readings you can definitely get an A. You will really learn some valuable info by the end of the class. She speaks very quickly when reciting notes, so bring a tape recorder.

Very good Professor. She lectures quite well. Her tests are lecture and textbook based, so you need to do both. Has some feminist views but overall an above average professor (who cares what her views are, you want a good teacher yes?)

The general topic of the class was just interesting, her lectures are engaging and fun. She has a fine sense of humor. Exams are hard, but there were plenty of opportunities for extra credits. She test on both lectures and texts! so read!

Amazing professor! I can say she know's her stuff and her lecture is quite engaging. She does spits out her lecture pretty fast so take serious of notes, 99.9% of her exams are related to her lectures, readings, and also films. But you attend her class, do the extracredits, and do fairly in her exam, you will do well. A must recomend!

really great teacher. the class are very interesting. tests are all multiple choice and 1 2-page paper on a movie. pretty easy class if u pay attention and read most of the book. the book is not so boring anyway.

wonderful woman. very compassioniate and helpful of students needs. one of the best professors ive had. Tests aren't too hard as long as you show up to class and take notes. Has you write 1 paper and gives almost everyone full credit (=100% on exam!)Also gives extra credit opportunities! I highly recommend taking any class you can with her :-)

This class was great. A few lectures were boring but overall class was full of intersting info. She does not take attendence but you need to be there to take notes - 2 exams, paper, and a final.

She is very serious about soc. psych. she is a good proff. gets pip 2 participate. tests R VERY fair. its hard 2 fail unless u want 2. show movies of examples of experiments.

She's a great professor and really enjoys teaching. Her classes are all interesting, and worth going to. And just read the chapters she assigns, and the exams will be ez breezy. I regret not reading the books, or else I would have gotten an A, instead of a B-. But definitely a good class to take and she's really fair and is always up for helping.

Great professor, easy class if you can memorize facts and write a simple paper. She brings great guest speakers in and most of the material is interesting. She doesn't make you memorize trivial facts like statistics, but you have to know general concepts. She rarely randomly calls on people since so many students raise their hands.

She is a great prof! She puts a lot of time into her lectures and they are very clear and organized. She is always available for help and very conscientious to students. Makes an effort to learn everyone's name. The course is very interesting and not too difficult as long as you do all of the reading

Marci Lobel is a warmhearted, genuinely nice, and helpful person. Topics r very easy to understand but deff take notes cuz u'll forget evrything when its time to study lol she incorporates things from lecture, the text, and this reader thingy altogether. i deff enjoyed her class nd i ll be takin psy 349 w/ her as well

One of the best lecturers at the school, clear, concise and makes a real effort to get to know your name even in a large lecture hall. That being said, you have to do your reading and take good notes. Attendence isn't mandatory but she goes over alot that will not be in your readings and will be on your tests. Lots of extra credit opportunities.

Dr. Lobel is a wonderful, empowering woman! I would highly recommend getting the book because quite a few lectures/questions on tests are in tandem with the readings. As long as you attend class, take good notes (she doesn't expect you to remember statistics/#s, just general concepts) you will do well. I will prob. take soc. psych with her! A++ <3

Shes a great professor and really knows what she is talking about. I liked the way she lectured because its at a good pace where you can take notes. HIGHLY recommend reading text-lots of questions on it are from the exam. Class is fun but exams are challenging. I am not a fan on how she does the multiple choice b/c it can be tricky. good overall

Very challenging class.Be prepared to take 6+ pages of notes each class.She talks fast & it's hard to get everything she says but you need to know all of it!Read the book!Her tests are "best fit "multiple choice & are very difficult. The final is 40% of your grade & it covers everything from the semester!It was the hardest test I've ever taken!

Amazing professor! Went to her office hours and she went over the exam with me and any questions I had. A lot of information in class, bring your laptop if you can. At least 6 pgs of notes each class. The readings aren't discussed in class but they will be on the test. Final grade was curved. Taking PSY 240 with her now.

As previous reviewers mentioned, you're gonna end up taking a lot of notes. But, you also do learn a lot. Most of the topics overlap so as long as you show up to class, it's not that difficult. Do the readings. Exams are not difficult. I love the fact that Professor Lobel tries her best to get to know all the students.Not many professors do that.

Wonderful class, wonderful professor. Her lectures are interesting- take notes! About 1/3 of her exams are from lectures. Do your readings, pay attention in class and you'll do well!

Wonderful class, wonderful professor. Her lectures are interesting- take notes! About 1/3 of her exams are from lectures. Do your readings, pay attention in class and you'll do well!

She's a pretty decent teacher. You know what's expected of you, so your grades shouldn't come as a surprise. The materical covered is pretty interesting. Paying attention in lectures will definitely help. I also feel like she tends to focus a lot of materical on women and how they're not treated fairly, and spends less time on other topics.

She isnt a bad teacher, but i find it hard to concentrate because of the way she talks. Her lectures are a lot of examples and it can be a lot to take in. The textbook has outlines and quizzes online so that helped, but way to much vocab and things to relate to. i find it interesting yet hard

She knows how to challenge you, but is still fair. She is considerate and kind to students. She cares about how you do, which is very rare. Her lectures are extremely interesting! Go to class. Read your articles and textbook. Make yourself known to her and you will do well. She is one of my favorite professors at Stony Brook University!

Extremely easy class. You do not need to read the text book. Just buy the course packet (Because she does draw some questions from there). She does talk a little fast and its hard to write down what she is saying but its a very interesting class. I got an A and barely had to study. Must go to class to do well though

great professor. very interesting class. she keeps it fun with speakers and even an exercise session. very understanding and helpful when needed. she tries to get to know your name so you have to put a name card out like kindergarten, but its good if you want to be known!

Great professor. She knows her stuff and made this class enjoyable. One time she arranged a group exercise session in place of class. Take a class with her if you can.

She is an amazing professor. Simple class. All you have to do is take notes. Most of the stuff is common sense. Textbook is helpful but I just looked over my notes and I received As on all her exams. She has supplement readings.Only two to three questions are on the exam. Don't really have to read those either. Just pay attention take notes easy A

You have to read the book for her tests because they are specific but the class is pretty easy to get an A in if you actually do the work. Doesn't require a lot of extra effort

I was expecting this class to be dull, but it was actually quite interesting. Lobel enjoys teaching and wants students to learn. She doesn't post the notes so going to class is a must, but it's worth it. She brings multiple guest speaks, which is fun (planned parenthood came and it was awesome). Take the class; it's pretty awesome.

I really liked this class! In order to do well, you will definitely need to attend classes (she gives at least 3 pgs of notes per lecture). Her tests are reasonable...make sure to read or at least skim through the assigned readings. Also, there isnt a textbook! She uploads the readings on BB, which is great. It saves money !

Awesome professor!! I loved her class so much, she is inspiring and caring!She also has a great smile lol.But you will learn a lot and there a lots of guest speakers.Wish I could take another class with her but I am graduating.

do your reading, go to class and take notes. Not too hard if you put in some effort, just like it should be. interesting class

An absolute breath of fresh air. If you take this class, you will most definitely learn. Moreover, you will enjoy learning it!! She is a beautiful person inside and out, who truly wants to help her students and the world, anyway she can. If you read all readings and study class notes, you should do well. Highly recommend! 3 tests 1 paper, Love her!

Prof Lobel is very interesting to listen to. Her classes are engaging and fun. She is not hard at all, but studying is def beneficial if you want a grade higher than C. She's a great person overall.

I really enjoyed her class but her exams were a bit tricky. You HAVE to read all the assignments she gives you or you will fail. I loved the material and the lectures are fun to go to. Just read everything and study extremely hard and you will do fine!

I thought that she was slightly insensitive sometimes and felt that she was talking down to the us as a class, but the information presented in lectures was pretty interesting. There's quite a bit of reading that is essential. The exams were pretty straightforward and relatively easy. Pay attention in class, take good notes, study, and do the work.

Dr. Lobel is one of the coolest professors I've had the pleasure of meeting. And, as an added bonus, this class is super easy. Show up, do the readings, look over your notes before the test and you're set. It's a great introduction to social psychology, I highly recommend it.

Professor Lobel is truly a great professor. She always has a fun story to tell and tries to make class more interesting. Even though she gives out a great deal of readings that needs to be done in order to succeed for the class, she has plenty of opportunities for help. If you do you work hard, you will do well.

Dr. Lobel is one of the most enthusiastic professors I have ever had in my 4 years at Stony Brook. If you're looking for a professor that is passionate about what she's teaching definitely take a class with her! She is willing to help and encourages students to come to office hours, which is definitely beneficial (and you get extra credit).

Having Professor Lobel is an absolute delight. Her lectures are great and filled with interesting and useful information. Her tests are very fair if you go to class and do all of the readings. She's wonderful to talk to during her office hours, and she cares a lot about her students. Just do what you're supposed to, and you'll do well.

great teacher. she taught so well and I looked forward to going to her lectures. Honestly, go to lecture, take good notes, and just do the homework and it's an easy A.

She's a really great teacher. Read the readings, you will be tested on them. Final is cumulative. Go to her office hours. Don't assume it's easy because its fun. Deff not the case

The only assignments she gives will be reading the textbook and assigned articles. Lecture notes, textbook, and articles are critical if you wish to get a good grade for her class. Since lecture notes are important, her lectures are very clear. She offers extra credit for going to office hours and a a simple essay in the end of the semester.

Professor Lobel does not provide lecture notes- only outlines so you must jot down what she says while listening. The textbook is essential to passing as she refers back to it through her tests. She is a very understanding professor and a great person to talk to about anything. She gave 2 midterms, 1 paper which was pretty easy, and a final.

Professor Lobel is extremely approachable and inspirational ! The book is mandatory. Her test require a lot from the book and lecture. You need to jot down everyword she says (record her voice if you can) Test are heavy. If you do not like to read. Drop out of the class.

Truly an amazing professor. Super woke, super intelligent. She tries to get everyone involved in the class, so beware of being called on randomly for your opinion. Textbook & readings were crucial to passing, but the book was interesting.

Lobel is really sweet and even though it is a substantially large lecture she attempts to learn everyones name. She offers an insane amount of extra credit. She makes you care about the class. Shes a feminist who wants everyone to understand why they should be too. It's awesome.

Lobel is the sweetest professor I've had at Stony Brook so far. Truly cares about her students, gives lots of extra credit (literally just have to go to office hours) and is super nice. She definitely isn't out to trick you. There are a lot of readings but as long as you read some of it and take notes during lecture you'll get the idea.

Many chances for extra credit. Excellent, clear lectures. Takes time with students.

Lobel is a great professor, really sweet and gives a million chances to get extra credit, 2 tests a final and a paper. There's A LOT of reading for this class but the textbook is so interesting I never minded it. If you read and listen to her interesting lectures you will do great. The paper is super easy, pretty much just used as a grade booster.

Professor Lobel is really good at creating interesting lectures that will get you thinking! Unfortunately, she is also incredibly biased and selective about the statistics and materials she tends to share. This at times takes away from the class, because it feels like she is trying to extend her prerogative insead of teach.

Honestly I just do not understand why people dislike her classes so much. Dr. Lobel is a wonderful professor and her classes and tests are very easy. Yes there is no lecture slides and echos, but all you have to do is just write down the things she says in class, go over them after class, and review them again before the tests and you will get A

i absoutely enjoyed her lectures, they were very interesting ! Although the readings are a lot, the readings are in fact very interesting and I enjoyed reading them. As per lecture, if you miss a lecture there are no power points so I would suggest go, or if you miss a class make sure to get the notes from another student. MAKE SURE TO DO READINGS

Attendance not required, but she makes you have a name tag out to learn names. 90% women in class. She only posts an outline of the lecture and just talks/lectures. Classes are recorded and posted online, so you don't have to write during class. Three (fair) multiple choice exams and one paper. No textbook. She's nice and lectures aren't boring.

Dr. Lobel knows what she is talking about. She puts the outlines for the lectures on BB to make it easier to take notes during lecture. She answers questions and cares about her students. When you read the papers, make notes. It will help you for the tests a lot.

Take her class if you have the opportunity, my favorite human at stony. Show up, take notes, go to the extra credit seminars, you'll get an A. I attended all the seminars, didnt read all assigned articles day before the test, got B's for test grades, 78 on my final, full credit for the 1 paper assignment and got an A in the class. fav class.

I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to be her student. i took her class online and am saddened i couldn't have met her in person. i plan to take another one of her classes next semester. tests based on the material taught in class. long meaningful lectures. no slides, but provides many examples and repeats important information.

Dr. Lobel is one of the best professors I've ever had. She's super knowledgeable on the material, allows for class discussion despite the large lecture size. She cares a lot about her students and stresses students wellbeing first and foremost. I loved her lectures so much I was sad if I had to miss class. Amazing prof overall!

Marci Lobel is truly an amazing professor. You can see that she genuinely cares about her students. She doesn't provide powerpoints for her lectures, so make sure you're paying attention. She provides outlines for her lectures so you have a basis for your notes and make sure you do all the REQUIRED readings. The exams are readings and lectures.

Shes a very nice lady, and gives very clear explanation during lectures. Her exams can be very specific, but theyre definitely not designed to be tricky. Definitely do the readings especially the Blackboard articles. Overall, shes a great professor.

Your grade is determined by 3 exams so attending her lectures and reading all of the assigned articles (for homework) will help you do really well! No textbook, articles are provided. Falling behind in this class will not benefit you on the exam day if you have to cram, it's mostly questions about understanding the material she speaks about.

Really enjoyed the class topic and she was really knowledgeable about women health. Only annoying thing was the articles she would have you read as they were really long and would sometimes would end up on exams . Other than that, class and exams were pretty easy if you paid attention.

She lectured that she is the 4th born "unwanted" child from her mother. I told her in health psych class that I was planned, and my mom held me. She told the class she had her daughter with c section. Research shows that messes with parental bonding/social favor.I believe she does magic to make women have c sections at sbu medicine. It's my hunch.

Dr. Lobel is clearly an expert in her field and enjoys teaching. she's an excellent professor and amazing person

Dr. Lobel is an extremely knowledgable and well spoken. Course material is unique and fascinating and she's really helpful and engages with you if she can see that you are interested in the subject matter. Not a difficult class, but you definitely have to have a base knowledge of stats and you have to take super through notes.

TAKE HER!!!! I took Psych of Women's Health with her this semester; this class genuinely changed my life. She is a caring and inspirational professor who genuinely wants all her students to succeed. There is a lot of reading in the class, but it's an upper-level psychology class so it's expected. The tests you HAVE to study for, you HAVE to read.

Dr. Lobel is an expert in her field, but her teaching style can be challenging. The exams are detailed and focus on readings, so staying on top of the material is key. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for my exam prep.

Course is a lot of term memorization and application but she explains it very thoroughly so that you can understand why something is the way it is. She is always there to help you if you need it, go to office hours to talk about anything regarding grades, topics in class, new ideas etc.

She cares deeply about students succeeding. She challenges us when needed but offers constant support (extra credit, office hours every day, etc.) when needed. Her lectures are so engaging and amazing. There's a lot of reading to do, but it helps to understand the content. Her courses are challenging but rewarding and crazy interesting. Love her!

Makes lecture interesting and relates all material to personal life experiences to help you remember, very sweet and slides are clear. Fair grader. Attendance not mandatory.

Amazing professor who truly cares about her students and their success. If you use all the resources provided, you'll do well. The key is to actually UNDERSTAND the concepts, not memorize them. Now some people complained that she “brings up politics”… lmao be fr, this is a soc.psych. class

Whoever said she's a man-hater clearly wasn't paying attention. She regularly talks about men's mental health and the issues around toxic masculinity. An excellent professor who explains everything clearly and simply. It's easy to succeed if you actually put in the effort.

Dr. Lobel is super encouraging and kind. No notes are posted besides the lecture outlines, so you have to show up and take your own notes. The readings are always tested on every exam, so actually doing them is crucial, and you can't just skim them either. Overall though, the class is super interesting
