I couldn't understand her to save my life her lectures were ALL over the place and she could never stay on topic she went off and talked about other stuff and just got you all confused. She means well but I wasn't happy at all! I had to drop out or else I was going to fail.
Great professor. In order to pass her class you just need to listen as much as you can on her lectures and then just study her power-points after class. The key to passing is her class is effort.
I liked professor Davies - she was consistent. I thought that she was really funny, made good use of the whiteboard, had fun assignments & I would be glad to have her again.
I had already taken this class at a previous University (transfer student) so I was at an advantage, but Davies knows what she's talking about. Exam are pretty easy, studying helps! READ THE BOOK (and notes) and pay attention in class. Exam questions (essay) come from in class discussions. Ask for help if you need it, she's very easy to talk to.
Good professor. Had never taken psychology and wasn't really interested in it, but it was a requirement for my major. She made it interesting and was very fair about class requirements. She gives a decent amount of work/tests, but she clearly explains her grading scale and sticks to it. Thumbs up.
DO NOT TAKE!! Teacher is very confusing. She knows the material, but does not teach it. 40% of your grade is from the text book and its boring. Does not take the time to properly explain anything. Exams are a nightmare. Study guide only provided a few days prior to exam ... set up for failure. Exams cover on average 150 - 200 pages of material
Terrible professor. Doesn't make anything clear, focuses on too many mundane group activities that teach you absolutely nothing, has no set organization, wastes paper, etc. While the class may be easy, the teacher is a nightmare. Be prepared to feel like a child. Also focuses too highly on the textbook. VERY annoying class lecture.
Not a good class. Tests don't make any sense. Review sheets are just nonsense. Relies too much on textbook. Flies through lectures. TOO MUCH GROUP WORK. Group work does not make things more "fun"! It's just plain dumb.
I took this class Spring 2011...DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! This lady is over the place with her lectures, my classmates & I were constantly confused. She gives you an exam study guide, but 80% of what's on the study guide is NOT on the exam! You are better off outlining the chapter. She is big on a lot of in-class group participation, which I hated.
All the comments below are accurate. But i will say that it isnt a hard class to pass. If you want and "A" will you will need to put in a ton of time. But if you would be happy with a "B" then with minimal effort this could be achieved.
Prof Davies is awesome! At first I was like "Oh, god. this is gonna be my teacher?" But now, I am glad that I took her class. For grading, it is extremely easy to get an A because she offers extra credit almost every other class(5 pts). Hw is minimal and you just need to study pwrpnts online to get As on tests. Will sign up for her other class! :)
Professor Davies is really great. She has a few quirks, but nothing that put me off enough to drop out. She really means well and wants to get to know you. Don't judge a book by its cover, because she is really sweet, loves psychology, and is good at teaching it.
She's very helpful and the class if fun. However I don't feel like I've learned anything this semester. You have to do a lot of the work on your own. If you like classes where you have to teach yourself this class would be great, if not, try another teacher.
Very quirky! but very helpful. she gives you lots of extra credit! study the power points and read the book. if you get anything lower than an A its your own fault she basically hands it to you as long as you put in the effort
Great Professor! She made the material interesting. The course is demanding & writing intensive, but is good experience. If you attend class, do the work, study the powerpoints & videos, you'll do fine. Would happily have her as a professor again.
Professor Davies seemed to be a little scatter brained. The assignments were consistent and she grades fairly. Extra credit is offered.
The Syllabus is long and confusing. She can be a bit confusing, but she is very nice. Just come to class, do your work, and ask questions when you don't understand. You'll be fine. Lots of in class group work.
Pretty easy class. She likes to ramble on but if you focus on powerpoint and take little mental notes and apply them when she gives you the test guide, it's not too hard.
Professor Davies is an amazing teacher! She has to be one of the most helpful teachers I've had. She's funny and makes the class interesting! Her class at times can be difficult, but if you are a dedicated student can read and take notes getting an A is not hard to get! Her notes are all online and extremely helpful for her tests! TAKE HER CLASS!
She is a little all over the place, but I ended up really liking her as a teacher. It can be frustrating to really understand what she wants and the assignments can be a little confusing, but she is readily available to clarify and help. LOTS of group work in class.
She is all over the place
Professor Davies is a really nice teacher. She's hyper and gives good personal examples to the class. She always give extra credit. Just be there everyday because her attendance is worth a lot. Her tests are not that hard if you study. Just follow directions and you'll do fine. She's an awesome teacher.
I took Mrs. Davies for PSY201/202 and did not learn a thing. Most of the work done in class is group work or groups presenting power point projects that you have done together on your own time. The tests are super hard consists of 150 scantron propblems, (don't forget to buy your own scantron) also dont be late on test days or you will receieve a 0
I liked her, as a person she is just so sweet & bubbly but you HAVE to study. In class you will not do much related to the topic, but it is easy. You just must study for tests.
She's a really great teacher. You do the work and she'll love you. She offers a lot of extra credit throughout the year and her tests are easy. All you have to do is study really for her three exams and you will do fine. As for the Assignments and Presentations they are straight forward, pay attention in class and you will get a 100!!Best Teacher!

She is very disorganized and the work she gives takes more time than effort to complete. I didn't feel like I was in a college level class with her. Most of the work done in class was to just pass time. I wouldn't recommend taking her if you take your education seriously.
Very nice and extremely funny lady but so disorganized that it interferes with her lectures. She often repeats information over and over.
I like her as a person. Tests can be confusing sometimes but its not hard. If you read the text and the power point, pay attention in class, and nail the study guide, you'll get the lovely A. :)
She is a very nice woman and it is not hard to get a A/B. Pay attention in class and review the textbook because that is where most of the material is coming from. She shows ALOT of videos and class so class is not stressful just do the group projects and study for the tests and you will be fine.
She is very unorganized, she she assumes you understand everything she is talking about. Her tests are very HARD. She does not give study guides. I would not recommend her, she is nice but can't teach.
The professor is not only disorganized, but treats the classroom as if it was middle school. There are unneeded assigned seats and she speaks childishly. Some of my classmates are over 40, this is unacceptable. Especially when her assignments are vague and simultaneously heavy (not hard, just a lot). She can't stay on topic and there's no help.
This professor is nice, but ultimately, does not help with understanding anything. She has a very detailed Syllabus but neglects to explain homework, readings, assignments, tests, due dates, more than a brief statement and then moves on. You will enter class surprised with what is happening, and leave confused.
Honestly, she is one of the best professors I have taken! She is very helpful and makes going to class interesting. Her exams are just like the study guide and even though there are a lot of assignments, it is an easy A class. She gives lots of extra credit and drops the lowest assignment grade! Take her for psychology!
She's a good professor. She is a little scattered, but it doesn't prevent her from doing her job. She knows her material and she has a passion for it. She's willing to help you if you ask and is a very understanding person. She does use the book a lot and her slides usually correspond with it. She gives you quite a few opportunities for EC as well
She is a nice teacher and is always willing to help a student who is having trouble. It is possible to still get a good grade in class even if you don't do good on the tests. If you help in group projects, do homework, and show up to class then you should be fine.
She is awesome! First of all EVERYTHING that is on the review sheet is ON the test. She is extremely helpful! She post everything online all her PP, homework sheets, and review sheets. Watch the PP before class and you wont be lost! Then read the textbook if you dont understand something from the PP. I took a 6 week course 4hr lecture T&TH.
Ms. Davies is a good person to talk to. She's even a nice person but teaching wise she's horrible. Honestly she never went up in front of class to teach, she made the students teach the class by presentations every other class. She gave unnecessary homework as if we didn't have any other classes then hers.
Nice professor, but the amount of unnecessary assignment was just ridiculous. She is funny but I honestly think that a professor should spend more time teaching than telling stories about other non related topics. Class is pretty boring most of the time. Honestly getting an A is not easy so you have to work extra hard.
Professor Davies was a good professor! I took her hybrid course where we only had class once a week. If you read and follow the syllabus, you will do fine. Many people in my class seemed to have great difficulty realizing that as they would ask the same questions over and over that are clearly written there. She has it all laid out on the syllabus.
Professor Davies was a last minute professor change for my class. Took during a six week summer course and she expects a lot out of you, and doesn't seem to take into consideration that people work full time and take classes. With the class being 4 hours long, you would not expect the homework load she assigned.
I took a 6week course with Professor Davies class over the summer I thought she was awesome. Expect hw, theres a lot but it all helps and prepares you for the exam. She gives awesome lectures and gives out a lot of extra credit and attendance points. She is a tough grader when it comes to essays and projects. The text book is free online
you need to put effort in her class to get an A but if you're dedicated & literally just follow the syllabus you shouldn't have a problem. she grades kind of easy & think shes more chill to psy201 kids bc she expects less of them. she doesnt actually check the MH for accuracy she only sees if you did it so u can bs tht. lots of extra credit
shes a really good professor & she explains the material well in class, this was the only class i took in the summer (so i had more time to do her HW) bc she does gives out homework, but its easy & she doesnt check for accuracy only for completion. & the study guides are basically the test! i didn't even buy a textbook. just use the power points!
The class started out with promise but towards the third class she started being less and less clear about her expectations and assignments. If you want to actually learn something you will have to do the reading on your own. She is humorous and passionated but not the best instructor. She seemed to expect more work out of students than she put in.
Although this professor is energetic, her class tends to be boring. There's lots of homework due (but she only checks for completion) and we've basically been teaching each other with group presentations that don't actually teach. I find this subject interesting, but I would not take another class with this professor. I don't feel like I learn.
She is a very nice teacher, but her tests are tough, and if you miss class you won't pass! She takes 5 points off every class you miss, and expect a ton of homework! and a lot of unnecessary assignments. also! she loves presentations and doesn't teach, she gives out examples related to what ever topic we are studying. I wouldn't take her again.
She's disorganized, she doesn't teach, she gives out too many assignments. I wouldn't take her if i was you.
she doesnt explain good
She was in her office every time I tried to find her to help me out.
I took her for a hybrid class and I loved the flexibility of being able to do work outside of class when I wanted. Then we met once a week to check if we understood everything. It was so much better than an online class. I would definitely take her again.
Very unclear on homework. FOLLOW SYLLABUS
I LOVE her. I've taken her for many of my Psy classes. I would literally look for what classes she was teaching. I love her style. She is sometimes a little all over the place but as long as you know how to keep track of yourself, you'll be good. She is willing to work with you if you show you're willing to learn.
Professor Davies does not teach. She shows videos and goes over homework the whole class. She uses group presentations to teach her class, which is very ineffective. I do not want to learn from my classmates that barely know what they're talking about. Her tests are hard only because you are tested on things that you did not learn effectively.
Professor Davies is great! Although she does give work, it is very clear and not that hard! She DOES take off points for a lot of stuff but she's super sweet. She gives you all the information you need so if you follow her syllabus, you'll pass!
She was a good professor. A little disorganized, but if you paid attention and did the assignments you will pass. The test was a little hard but literally exactly what you learn in class through her power points. She does reviews right before the mid-term which help out a lot. Im going to take her again. She was actually very entertaining.
Honestly one of the best psychology teachers, shes friendly and funny. This is my second semester taking her and I love her. Will totally recommend if you dont like going to class.
Professor Davies is very understanding, funny, and super nice. The class will be a breeze if you pay attention. She gives many opportunities for extra credit and there will be group projects. If you ever have a problem on an assignment just talk to her and she will make things clear. I'd definitely take her again.
She's okay, kind of strange. She doesn't really teach that much. Once you get into group projects you learn by other student's projects and videos. The material isn't that difficult and the textbook is easy to follow. She does have a lot of assignments, but also offers extra credit and A LOT of opportunities to makeup missed quizzes.
i took her for 201 and i am taking her again for 202. she is really funny and will keep you awake during her lectures. she has quizzes almost every Friday and homework is almost always due before each class, but they arent hard. if she likes your class she will open up the quizzes you missed if you ask as a group. i would recommend her.
Very kind and outgoing professor. She is very lenient and is acceptable of her students.
I took this class because I want to be a counselor. We spent a lot of time discussing cases, which really helped me learn. I will definitely take this professor again. She made the class interesting and relevant. Thanks for a great semester!
Doesn't know how to lecture she goes off topic all class, will waste your time. Nothing comes out of the book. If you pay attention this is an easy A. She gives out TONS of extra credit and make-up oppurtunities. Lots of homework that she doesnt clarify how to do, submitting an empty document will get you an A. Show up and do some of the work!
She is a great professor. She is very understanding when it comes to being absent. She does make you do a presentations but it is with a group which is better.
Very enjoyable class!
Professor Davies is amazing. She made psychology so easy for me, literally show up and do your homework on time and you'll be fine. She always gives a study guide for the tests and reviews to make sure everyone understands.
Her class is easy peasy. Just do homework and come to class most of the time and you'll pass. I did so much extra credit that I didn't show up for the final and still got an A. Lots of opportunities for do-overs, even if you miss a deadline. Plus she's kind of adorable and really nice.
She made 201 and 202 really fun. Anyone who had problems with her lectures is just trying to put her down. She is down to earth and cares about you in class and outside of class. She is knowledgeable and will talk about her past experiences which made the class fun. She gives a really good study guide which corresponds with her exams.
Awesome teacher!
Loved her! Thanks for a great semester!
I loved this class so much that I changed my major!
Loved her! I can't wait to take her again!
Absolutely my favorite professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned so much this semester! Thanks for the fun class!
Fun and interesting-can't wait to take her for another class
Loved her!!!!
Super professor!
Prof Davies is super nice and was always willing to meet with me after class if I had any questions. Her class is not hard - just do the work and come to class and you should be set!
She knows her stuff and was very helpful. She even answered questions I had about becoming a psych major.
She went off topic all class. She had a tendency to not talk bout the topic we were actually studying. I was very excited about theories of personality. The whole class ended up being from the textbook and student lead presentations. I would take if ou want an easy A. But if you actually want to learn about this subject don't take her.
She is a really nice and great professor. Her class is an easy A.
i took her for both psych 201 and 202, and she is amazing. she is very flexible with due dates. There are lots of quizzes for every chapter, so you need the book. it is important to read the book, she lectures but it is a very brisk review. Her tests are quite hard if you don't do really look over the study guides. attendance makes a difference!
She was absolutely amazing!!!!!!! I took her for both psychology 201 and 202, she is hilarious and always brings positive energy to the class! She is the ideal teacher, she gives a lot of extra credit and provides interesting examples to various topics. If you love psychology you absolutely need to take her!
professor davies was by the best professor i have taken at NOVA. She does give a lot of work but she only checks for completion and always gives the correct answer and all homework are your mid-term and final which are the only exams given. she also gives a lot of extra credit and helps you pass with an A. two group projects but they are simple
One of the nicest professors I have ever had. She is very lenient and understanding and really worked with us throughout all the unfortunate circumstances this semester held with the flooding, power outages, etc. She is very realistic to the information over load this course can be and is very fair with her tests and quizzes, take her if you can.
Professor Davis is amazing!! I took Psy 200 as a hybrid class in the summer(so a lot to cover in just 5 weeks) and everything was crystal clear. She made me feel super comfortable and really helped me out. Its best to finish things early since theyre pretty easy.( got an A) Definitely study on your own time. She does give extra credit.
I will take this professor again because she is very helpful she will find any ways and means for her student to pass. its a very easy class if you attend class every day because she deducts points from absentees and shes not hard on grades too. ill recommend her
she doesn't teach so you basically have to teach yourself. most of your grades come from attendence so if you don't mind not learning anything during class and having to go home to teach yourself then take her. most days you have to do group work which is still super easy. I think its hard for her to explain things so its hard to understand.
Awesome
There's absolutely nothing that I believe should change with this course. I absolutely loved it along with my other classmates who have slowly bonded together over the love of this class. Another bonus, if you ever miss 5 or less quizzes, one group presentation, or even the FINAL, you can gain free 100s through her large sums of extra credit!
Was not an extremely difficult class. As long as you get your attendance(worth more than the tests) and do the assignments on time, you should get an A. Kind teacher, easy to talk to, and she gives a good amount of extra credit!
Ms. Davies was great! I recommend her to anyone taking a Psychology class. Also, not attending class takes off points so be there for an easy A. You will definitely need a textbook, so get ready to read. Tests are nothing you can't handle! Lastly, she gives chances for extra credit. Loved her class!
Though her tests are hard, she is a excellent professor! She gives a quiz every week that's due Friday at 5 PM and homework due every class. As long as you do the extra credit and do what you're suppose to do, you will easily get a A with attendance and extra credit. If you get a A, no need to take the final! Can't wait to take her next semester!!
Very sweet professor who genuinely cares for her students and wants them to succeed. I highly recommend taking her classes
She is one of the best professors of psychology that I have ever had at Nova. If you confused something about homework or quizzes, you can ask after class and she gives you a clear definition of each. Good professors and just do your work and submit it on time and you will definitely get a good grade.
She is the best psychology teacher you will find at nova. If you complete your homework and show up you will have an Easy A! Her class is the best. And she shares really interesting stories.
Best Psychology Professor
A pretty cool Psychology teacher. Super easy homeworks and the test is literally going to be based off the slides she presents and some are even word for word from the textbook. She's sweet and kind and definitely responds to emails and concerns.
Davies is an amazing prof. ! Her lectures are funny and keeps you entertained. The class homework was mostly online but be sure to read the syllabus because some assignments are also due in class!
Professor Davies is one of the best professors I have had in my time at NOVA. Although she cares about attendance a lot I didn't mind because I genuinely enjoyed going to her class every week. If you just show up to class and pay attention it will be a very easy A. She is very clear about how things are graded and each exam has extra credit.
Caring and enthusiastic. Easy A. There are mini quizzes online every week but they are open book. There is one group presentation but at the end she tells you what you need to get a A on it and lets you redo it. Sometimes, she is a little to extra for me with her enthusiasm but you wont find many professors like that at NOVA so I cant complain.
In the beginning of the semester the class was honestly easy, did a few work sheets and she would go over them with the class. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic we switched to online permanently. That was when she would give 3x the work, about 6 assignments were due within the week and she didnt really explain them. Hope this helps
I highly recommend this professor! Her assignments and quizzes are very easy. she is very understand and hilarious. She makes class fun and exciting to learn. It was my first semester and she made it less stressful.
I took her six weeks summer course it's definitely a lot of work. However it's an easy class she does give out opportunities to receive extra credit. Discussion board post, quizzes, Papers based out of chapters from the book or video Lecture. You'll be glad that you took her class.
This was a developmental psych course, and prof. Davies was unable to keep her pro-life agenda out of class. If you can look past that, her class was an easy A. Lots of little assignments that help bring up your grade. If you get a 630/700 you are exempt from the final. Attendance is mandatory, you cannot miss more then three of her classes.
Professor Davies is amazing, as long as youre honest with her shell try her hardest to work with your situation. Reasonable amount of homework/tests.
Made this class my favorite
It was such fun in this class
Can't wait to take her again
Wonderful proff
She rocks!
The homework really helped me understand the book. It is a lot of material, but she really brought it to the real world.
I learned so much! Thanks Prof Davies!
Loved this class!!!
Amazing prof!
Take her-you will love it!
I love this prof. SHE IS THE BEST. I have taken psyc230, and 213 with her. Loved her class. You don't have to do finals if you get to a certain points. Group project is a must. Mid terms are a bit hard. Her assignments are easy and very good for your grades. She just wants you to work on them and that's it. Easy grader and an AMAZING PROF. Easy A.
Lectures aren't terrible and gives homework almost every class but its all easy and there is only one big essay assignment. Very easy grader as long as you submit something you pretty much get full points. Only con is that she is so obviously pro life and presented fear mongering videos on abortions that were clearly more opinion based then factual
Lovedd this teacher. She does her best to keep you entertained during lectures and she's really sweet. I would recommend going to class, might help you in the long run, she goes over exactly what you will need to know for tests. Easy tests and easy homework.
She does not teach and you have to learn everything on your own from the textbook and she talks so much about her personal life, republican views, shes anti-mask, anti-vax, she is kind but we're here to learn about social psychology not be friends. It's based on points so you better show up for attendance points even though we do nothing useful.
Seriously this woman deserves a teacher of the year award. She is truly passionate about what she teaches, it's almost contagious. By far my favorite professor I've had at NOVA. Attendance isn't mandatory because we're grown adults but if you show up you're chances of passing increase by like 99%. Her work is fun and she provides extra credit too.
Prof. Davies is awesome. She's kind-hearted and respectful. She's a fairly relaxed grader IMO. Lots of hw, but all work is online. Tends to ramble a bit during lecture, so be prepared to read everything yourself before class. She has lots of groupwork, so not a lot of participation is required. LOTS of extra credit.I got 106% and skipped the final!
She's very friendly but gives a lot of homework for only 10 points. Expect to do 4-5 homework each week.
Professor Davies is very chill, not a harsh grader, and her class was easy. She is super heavy on the homework, but if you kindly ask her for an extension on assignments, she will give it to you. She offers two extra credit opportunities, which is pretty cool! I learned a lot from her class, and I would 10/10 recommend her
She was super nice and sweet. There were weekly assignments but honestly not that hard. I would def recommend her.
Lazy. Doesnt teach at all so you just learn from your classmates and by yourself. Bad at explaining things. Every other class is a group presentation. All the others are group work. Its pretty frustrating considering that we pay for this class and were just teaching ourselves with the textbook with no lectures.
Professor Davies is kind but she doesnt teach, she just assigns many assignments that are due at the end of each week. During class time she just goes over homework awnsers and then assigns more. The assignments are tedious, I wouldnt take again.
Davies is an easy grader, but she doesn't teach. Nearly all classes consist of reading out the homework answers to your classmates or group presentations. Her instructions are extremely confusing and vague, my class was always confused. Sometimes she would change the instructions during class. Don't take Davies if you want to actually learn.
Assignments were all graded for completion, super easy to get points. Once you reach 630 points for the class, you're done for the semester. Don't need to buy the textbook because we rarely used it. Lectures are boring, but try to fight through it. If you actually want to learn, maybe don't take her. Overall an easy A.
Lectures were short. A lot of (easy) homework, a lot of opportunities for extra credit. She is willing to extend due dates. Very easy class, 630 points= A. If you reach this, you don't have to take the final or continue to attend class. Take her for an easy A. Didn't retain much information as all homework's are on quizlet. Attendance=150 points.
loved her!
I wish this teacher taught more classes. She is one of the best!
She really helped me understand this class.
What an easy class! Thanks for making it so fun!
Took Professor Davies class this summer and to be honest it was a fairly easy class, she's super welcoming and kind. I would recommend her to anyone!
Amazing professor... She grades according to points. She requires you to do the test with your camera on, if you have 630-700 points you get an A and you don't have to do the final. She is very flexible but she doesn't allow late assignments. Take this class in 6wk I highly recommend it, there will be a considerable amount of hw but not that bad.
Take if you just want an easy class. Some think it was a heavy workload, but I thought it was super doable and stayed multiple weeks ahead. She does not teach!!! I learned absolutely nothing and was super disappointed. Easy grader if you follow instructions, but they are usually unclear so just follow the example papers she gives!
class is easy but she does not teach. all you have to do the homework and you will pass.
She is absolutely terrific; she grades material based on if you did them and she makes the course extremely easy to pass. I've taken her for 3 semesters, all 4 courses, she does this thing where if you get an A at the end of the semester, you're exempt from the final. If you fail her class, you really really tried hard to fail. Love her!
She is the best! A lot of easy homework, and a lot of opportunities for extra credit. Very easy class, 630 points= A. If you reach this, you don't have to take the final exam. Take her for an easy A. All of the homework's are on quizlet. She requires a textbook but you can get away with not purchasing it and finding the info online. 11/10
Prof Davies is really sweet! She often goes over the slides and the HW is all for completion. If you have a high grade, you can skip the final. You can also get away without the text book or get a pdf/used. She's considerate of accomodations and lots of extra credit.
I took her in the summer and it was very easy. She is very caring about you passing. Do the work and you be fine. Easy A
Pro Davies is the best! Lots of homework and assignments but if you participate and try your best you will pass. If you reach 630 points, you dont have to take the final and will get an A for the class. Textbook required and I learned a lot and signed up to take her Social Psy because I liked her so much and thought it was all interesting
She's great and super sweet. She is very passionate about what she does. You can only fail if you do not try. She gives opportunities for extra credit and as for final exams you can skip the final exam if you have an A (there is no reason for you to not have an A trust). As for the textbook you can probably find a PDF online, look on reddit.
A very passionate and enthusiastic psychology professor. Ms. Davies's 7-week course is quick and assignment/work heavy, but it is completely manageable and simple. Attendance and class participation are mandatory and expected during class. She's an easy grader and grades most of her assignments based on completion. I'd highly recommend her.
Professor Davies is great - easy class with lots of extra credit. Attendance is mandatory but can be skipped if you hit the grade target. unstuck study was super helpful for the homework.
The class was super easy, the assignments/homework is minimal and SO simple. Her tests are super easy, only issue was the Zoom classes. She allows students to discuss things that are not appropriate for a class, like personal "trauma". This was too the point where we didn't finish our work because students talked too much.
I enjoyed her class! She is a good professor and is understanding. If you get an A in the class, you DO NOT need to take the final exam. The work is manageable as long as you manage your time. You are expected to read the textbook and/or take notes, so she only reads off the PowerPoints she provides. Overall, a good professor and an easy class.
Sweet, sweet lady. Her assignments are not difficult and she will always try and help you improve your grade. I flubbed the midterm a little bit, and she graded my following assignments and gave them a higher grade so I maintained a 100 in the class. If you need a class that isn't difficult and want to interact with people a little bit, this is it.
I've never made a review for any professor but Professor Davies is worth writing a review for! I was nervous for this class but had no reason to be. Professor Davies is amazing and all I can say is take one (or more) of her classes if you have the option to!! I'm taking a summer class with her too and am looking forward to it!
This professor was kind but I did not find the way she taught to be helpful to me. I did not learn a whole lot through the lectures and had to teach myself a lot afterwards. She mainly relied on group activities during class which I did not enjoy. There was a lot of homework. She had a cool policy- if you have A in the class you do not take final.
Professor Davies is an awesome teacher! Take this class participate and do the work, it's not hard.
Professor Davies' class was pretty easy. It felt like a lot of busywork- worksheets and YouTube videos - but it wasn't hard to get through the information. We had one project that could be done alone or in a group, one closed book test, and one written final. If you had an A by time finals came around, you didn't have to take. Offers extra credit.
She is a very easy and understanding professor. My only concern is that her class is almost too easy. The APA papers we had to right were not exactly APA. If your degree is not in psychology, she is an amazing choice. If it is, she is still a good choice. Overall, a good experience and a good professor.
She is an understanding professor, and her classes are relatively easy. I have had her for multiple courses and have not had a bad experience. My only concern as a psych major is that her classes are almost too easy. If you are not a psych major, she is perfect. If you are a psych major, she is a good choice, but ensure you broaden your horizon.
Professor Davies is a wonderful woman. She is a little hard to understand since she has some kind of speech impediment but she is always playful and happy. I took her zoom class and she always made sure her students knew what was going on. Her assignments were easy as well as her quizzes. I definitely recommend if you're looking for an easy A.
I am telling you right now to take her immediately!! she is amazing one of the best teachers i've had so far as long as you put effort and understand the material she gives you points. Attendance is mandatory. If you take her through zoom expect to participate! the main reason i got a C was because i didn't attend most lectures because of work
She was my professor for an elective and I'd never think I'd miss her class as much as I do. Her grading is easy, but her class is a blast and the atmosphere she creates is unreal. She is very kind, communicative and understanding about everything. She is a professor that every other professor should want to be like. She's awesome!
I've taken two of her classes so far and I'm taking another next semester. Shes super sweet, fun and not a tough grader at all. I genuinely look forward to going to her lectures because shes so friendly and upbeat.
This professor was the nicest professor I have ever had. I took a 7-week course and was pretty nervous but it was extremely easy. Just do the work and you'll get an 100%. Classes were enjoyable but there are a lot of breakout rooms if you take her on zoom. If you get an A you do not have to take the final and it is so easy to get an A.
