Did the same person write all of the below reviews? I noticed the all reference "big school" and are angry. Anyhow, I'm not sure what the negativity about Peg is-she filled in for another at the last minute and from what I can tell she is nice, moves along at an average pace, and very kind to her students. I'm getting an A and it wasn't too hard

Peg Scott lectures for he first part of the semester using the textbook as the source. The second half is filled with student presentations. Since the middle of October, every class has been consumed by presentations. The class is incredibly easy, but will not stimulate you academically. Read the book and you will ace the easy tests.

i dont understand why everyone is so mad, Peg is an awesome teacher, and is very sweet. She cut the final in half and gave it a week early to do her students a favor, how can you get mad?!? I believe she is genuinely trying to prepare her students for upper division courses, although this is not an easy task...

Peg...She made me happy going to her class, she goes out of her way to help students if you approach her, Very easy A!plenty of extra credit. Respect her as a teacher and give her a chance!!

It was very easy to get an A. Mainly, because she provided study guides for the test. Do them and you'll get an A. Barely any homework. You could miss a class and not get any crap about it. Lots of extra credit available. Very easy to approach and she understands that people have lives outside school. If you need help just ask. Overall a good class

OK, now I'm sure the same person is writing multiple comments, not just because of reference to "big/little" school but tendency to put CAPS in their entries. Please don't drag down Peg because of your complex; she is a kind teacher and if you follow the test reviews the tests are no problem. As far as having to kiss up-that is a fallacy too

I loved taking this class (Psy 330) with professor Peg and I definitely didn't kiss up to her,matter-of-fact, I enjoyed challenging her in each class I attended. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and assisted the students better than most professors with a non belittling and encouraging teaching style. BTW, she does prepare U 4 the BIG school(lol

Professor Scott is a good woman and a helpful teacher. Stats isn't a very easy course, but she makes it easier and uses open-notes for the computational portion of the exams. She is a bit scatterbrained, but very intelligent. Its like a chaotic genius!

GREAT prof. cares for her students and understands we all have lives outside of school. always available to help and clarify. she's more receptive to those who want to learn and those who actually try (perhaps this is considered kissing up?) never miss a class, write everything down and be willing to learn and you will go great in her class.

I had her my first sem. at ARC. I think that she is a great instructor. She doesn't give a lot of homework and there is extra credit available. She is one of the best instructors that I had so far.

A great teacher.

Nice, but not a great teacher. Weeks behind schedule, didn't cover anything in depth. Often goes off topic. I graduated from a UC last yr, can easily say she won't prepare you for UC-level classes. Impossible to not get an A+ if you just fill out study guides the night b4 the test. Obscene amounts of xtra credit. Good for easy A, bad for learning.

I've been at a UC campus for years, and can say with confidence that she will prepare you for your senior honors thesis. The class consists of 1/2 hard working students, and 1/2 that don't do anything and and rarely show up. Sure she's a little disorganized but she shows you the basic steps for research...which is what this class is intended for.

Easy to get an A. Waste of time though, will learn nothing unless you read the book on your own.

Peg is so awesome. She's a little bit soft spoken but as she attatches to the class she gets out there. She will probably surprise you. She allows a lot of stories from the class and I really thought she was in depth. Her class is almost too easy though, there isn't a lot of challenge to it.

perhaps if people worried more about themselves rather than who was "teacher's pet," they could've learned something. this was my 2nd sem with peg and even though i was quite confused sometimes, i actually learned a lot. peg is a great professor. as long as she sees you're making an effort, she's more than willing to help you achieve.

Excellent teacher! I got an A. Learn a lot and makes it fairly easy to learn. Gives study guides prior to the test that tell you what the test is on. Do the study guide and you will pass all the tests. Lots of Extra Credit available!!! Attendance is mandatory and she will deduct even if u miss one day.

I graduated ARC last semester and am currently at UCB taking an upper division research course. I read the comment about the other student but I couldn't disagree more. I wouldn't have an A right now if it wasn't for that class. They probably didn't pass her course and thus, didn't pass their UC classes. Best teacher I've ever had!

Peg is a great prof. She might be an organized mess, but you walk away with a better confidence if you hated math to begin with. I took her Stats class. The people that are on here complaining are the ones that didnt read, didnt show up, or have a funky attitude in the first place. She's a great teaching that wants her all students to succeed.

I'm currently in her 330 class and she does everything in her power to make your life easier. She provides a group tutor, she's always there during office hours, and it's been the difference of night and day with me. I hate math but I'm totally ok with this class. I have a low A right now but I wouldn't have that with another professor, she rocks!

I love this teacher. She's very high energy and enjoy what she teaches. This subject was very easy for me so I enjoyed the reading. As long as you do the reading and the outlines the test are a peice of cake.

She is really nice, and her lectures are interesting most of the time. Her tests are far from easy, but she is always willing to help. Overall, its not the easiest class, but I would definately recommend taking it.

you gotta be kidding if you think this class is hard.peg gives her students every single chance to succeed, anyone thats willing to work will do just fine. shes also one of the most compassionate professors i know, yknow those "grandmas in the hospital" stories around finals?peg actually buys em!very approachable, very good teacher.

Great teacher. She is fun, outgoing and very helpful. Attendance is big, make sure you show up to all classes. Tests are straight out of the text and she gives you a study guide.

I don't know what all of the fuss is about. Peg wasn't disorganized, but the project is dependent on other students who slack off, thus postponing the project and items that are due. She holds your hand through everything which is nice because I know I won't have that next year at "the big school". I highly recommend her!

Peg is so sweet. She is always available when you need her and she will hold your hand every step of the way on the class project if you need her to. Show up to class EVERY day and take good lecture notes (she talks a bit fast at times). There are only 3 exams and the non-project-related homework is very easy.

shes awesome, yes things get a little crazy in class and you want to kill her, but she trys super hard to make up for it, theres no way to make this class "easy". If theres problems all you have to do is say something to her, and shell do everything she can to help you out and fix it. shes in my email contacts for emergencies in the future.

She will move fast through the lecture, give you extra credit, and points for just showing up for class. But make sure you are on the ball with the writing assignment at the end of the semester or she will chew you up and *@#^ you back out the other end. Good Luck.

Don't listen to what everyone else says. Peg is a great professor. She is really nice and way more lenient than she should be. The class goes by really fast so you need to pay attention and read up on the textbook. If you are generally interested in the subject this class should be easy. She an easy grader too.

Awesome teacher.super easy.she gives so many extra credit opportunities for pretty much everything.I wish all teacher were like her.

I love Peg. Shes a wonderful teacher.

Peg is a fantastic teacher who cares about her students. I appreciate her teaching style and feel honored to have been taught by her.

Very disorganized - which makes her easy to pass. Just take 2 exams & final.. and do a presentation.. no homework... disorganized even with the very few things that we DO do.. TONS of extra credit to make up for lost points on exams.. exams are sort of difficult (7 or more chapters at a time) but manageable. Easy A b/c of so much extra credit.

PROFESSOR SCOTT IS A GREAT LADY, VERY FUNNY AND BRIGHT SPIRITED. GIVES MINIMAL HOMEWORK, MANY CHANCES FOR EXTRA CREDIT AND ONLY ONE PRESENTATION THAT WAS SUPPPERRR EASY AND I BARELY STUDIED FOR TESTS AND RECEIVED A GOOD GRADE. ONLY PROBLEM WAS WE TOOK ONE TEST AT HOME WITH THE LOCKDOWN BROWSER AND GAVE US A LIMITED TIME TO COMPLETE TESTS..NOT COOL

Prof. Scott is absolutely awesome! If you need to take PSY 335 she is the lady for the job! She truly prepares you for University Level Coursework and is beyond helpful! Class Attendance is mandatory and you need to take good notes. Plenty of extra credit opportunities and nothing she assigns is busy work!HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR!

All you have to do is come to class, read the book, take the practice quizzes, do the review sheets and a presentation. This is how much work a college course is supposed to take. I learned a great deal in the class and enjoyed her teaching style.

I only had her for a week before she left and got another professor. She is pretty nice. Quizzes, 2 presentations, and exam. Just read and you'll do fine.

It's a shame i only had her for only a week. But she was very nice and told a lot of stories. 4, 60 or 50 question tests. Just make sure to read the book before test day.

She is a wonderful teacher! Very caring! Her tests were a little hard... but the class is an experience!

Professor Scott is a true professional. You will learn a great deal and have fun during the process.

Fantasic Teacher, I took her for every class I could, fun, interesting, test were hard enough so you learned but it wasn't cruel, look at her reviews for Folsom too, every one loves her, she knows what she is doing.

Really wants her nursing students to pass and she gives a ton of extra credit. She is a little scattered when it comes to lectures and a lot of her tests is directly from the book. Read the book and show up cause she takes roll and it counts toward your grade. Pretty funny and likes to teach. Good class.

She is very flexible and willing to answer serious questions, but I suggest you ask a colleague first if you can. READ THE TEXT BOOK! the whole class revolves around that book and the exams are super hard if you haven't studied. Attendance is huge part of grade. I recommend you take her, but only if you are willing to really study. Good teacher.

Peg was great!! I'm at Sac state now and I am so grateful for evertyhing that I learned from her!! Pay attention!! If you are serious and are willing to do the work, the so is she!!

Peg was a great professor. She might seem a bit strict in the beginning but she is willing to help if ask and consideriae. She does base her exams on the book so if you read and do her study guides you will be fine. Although, in one or two exams, questions were not in the lecture or book or usually in the next chapters that aren't on the exam.

Great teacher, explains very well, although she moves quickly through her powerpoints so it's hard to write everything down. Tests are for the most part fair. No homework, yet a very good learning experience! Highly recommend.

Her lecture based on book as well as examples from her own life. This seems to be a perfect combination in order to retain certain material. Books is a must have in order to pass tests, reading is prefered before class in order to cement aquired. I would deffenatly take this class again givent the chance.

I loved her. At first she comes off scary and very strict, but in reality she is sweet, understanding and very helpful. The only thing bad I would say is for me personally the test questions were worded a bit confusing. The work isnt hard nor are the tests. I would totally recommend her!

If you want to learn something, take her. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, clear, and respectful. Her tests are not too hard, basically from her lectures. Lectures are interesting as she is very passionate about her subject. Its a fun class and she is an Awesome teacher. I strongly recommend taking professor Scott...

She is AWESOME.She is strict on her rules, but she definitely tries to help everyone and make sure everyone gets an A. LOTS of work, but she walks you through it. You pretty much have to be absolutley lazy to get lower than a C. I heard she's way hard in her research methods class though(psych335.Take her and you will not regret it.

I liked Prof. Scott, but I found the class hard. She gives out big study guides for her exams, and I'd fill them out, but almost none of the questions were even on the test. It was frustrating, and the test questions were very specific, which I found to be very challenging.

Professor Scott is a dedicated and caring professor. She honestly wants her students to do well, and she strives to prepare you for "the big school". She gives tons of extra credit as well. That being said, I do have to say that Professor Scott is disorganized, and if you have issues keeping yourself organized this class is not for you.

Peg is an amazing professor. Ive taken a few of her classes before and would take one again. She is strict on her rules and has a lot she wants to teach. If you're a serious student who does their work, you'll do just fine.

I only read the first two pages of the book throughout this semester and I past. the quiz are E.C. and the exams are easy. That's probably because I had taken child development the previous semester. You can also make up an absence in her other classes and she's very understanding. YOU can say she is COOL lol...Enjoy her class..!

This teacher is one of the best profs at ARC.Her class is very easy and you learn a lot.She goes by the book and lectures.Slides are not online but if you read the book you can keep up.She gives a TON of extra credit!And shes very easy to talk to.But she is kind of slow on grading.Overall its just a great class.by the end she will touch your heart.

Best professor so far. She is strict on attendance, but this is college, so be on time. Her online test were difficult at times, but its much easier when you read and pay attention in class. She is a kind person and is always open to help. I would take another class with her.

Prof. Scott covers a lot of material, but her study guides prep for the exams (online and open notes), lots of extra credit opportunities, BUT you must attend class. If you miss one, you can make it up by attending another section. Final 3rd of classes spent listening to other students present their research reports, so no note taking...

Professor Scott is truly kind-hearted and her course was very easy to understand. If you have questions ask her after class and she'll take her time to clarify things for you.

Great professor, very "concerned" for her students. She teached the material, is approachable, and very friendly. Take her for easy A

Loved this professor ! She is very sincere and actually cares about what you have to say. The class was pretty easy because tests are online and you get to use a study guide and book. The only issue was that sometimes the study guide didn't match the test questions. Attendance is a must but she does let you make up two absences later. Easy class.

Excellent Professor,excellent class! Upper division content. Not a class for slackers! Show up everyday, give her your undivided attention, do the assignments, read the text and study are a recipe for success.

Great class! not easy,gives you plenty extra credit. Attendance is mandatory, and this is helpful keeping you on track of the course. She prepares you for your future career. I've learn a lot!She has Beacon tutoring, highly recommended, Alex the Beacon tutor is awesome,makes learning so much fun and keeps you on track for succeeding in this class.

I surprisingly got an A! But I worked SOOO HARD for that A. If the exam was on Monday. I spent all of Saturday AND all of Sunday just preparing for that exam. I went to her office hour. I volunteered 5 hours in downtown to get 25 extra credit points. I tried really hard to get this A. So if your not a hard worker this class is NOT for you.

I took a summer class, so it went really fast. But she gives a study guide and bases the test on the guide and the book, both of which you get to use during tests. She sucks with attendance, but everything else she is great about. She wants you to understand and get a good grade, not just mindlessly come to class. An excellent experience, I'd say.

Peg was a sweetheart! She is very strict on attendance. However her tests are open book, open note, so there is no need to be anxious. Just works on your study guide and read your book, you will be fine. She gives TONS of extra credit. She really cares about her students and uses real life examples to help you understand. She is amazing.

Peg is great, really helpful and clear with what she expects. Great teacher and very understanding with issues. I would recommend a thousand times over!

This was a great class and what helped me decide where I needed to go with my education. She is very understanding and will work with you if you are serious about school. Tests are online and open book. One big project/paper. Class participation is expected.

I took prof Scott for her fast paced summer course and let's just say I regret not taking her for psych 370 as well. Her tests are primarily based on her study guides and she keeps the class attentive with interesting in class activities. Loved this course! I highly recommend taking her.

Margaret Scott is known as PEG Scott. She is a nice professor that assigned us 2 exams and the final is 2 parts (exam 3 &4). She gave us 50 min. for 50 questions (which sux), and a research project that needs to be presented in class. The presentations was the most interesting part! Gives extra credit for WAC & RAD. Would NOT take her class again.

Peg is a really great teacher, she is helpful and she genuinely wants you to be successful. The class is tough , no doubt but if you stay on top on your real data and go to her office hours, you will pass.

NOT an easy A. Tests are pretty difficult. She is the sweetest professor I have ever had at ARC and truly cares for her students. I will definitely miss being in her class.

Very sweet professor and makes material easy to understand.

Definitely a good math class to take. Psych stats easier than regular stats. Very little homework, 4 tests, not too challenging as long as you go to every single class! The professor loves what she does and is motivated to have her students do well. The class goes by fairly quickly.

I absolutely love Peg. She makes "stats" easy for people who, like me, are terrified of math. She makes the material so simple and goes over everything time and time again. She's incredibly clear with what she says and what she wants. She's easily accessible with her office hours and email. She truly cares about the students learning.

This most sweetest and caring professor, this was one of my very first classes. I enjoyed every moment. The lectures were very interesting, and clear, she wants you to do well. Only thing I can say is you gotta show up for class. I took the 6 week course in the summer, and the lectures were a little fast paced. But that's not her fault. Recommend!

Professor Scott is hands down one of the most passionate educators I have ever come across. This class was amazing. The final presentation is a breeze but take it seriously because most others will. You don't want to be the only one with a crap powerpoint because everyone says its easy. Pick a topic you care about. Tests are taken online - easy

Really cool professor. Super sweet. Definitely loves what she does, but lectures can be a little difficult to follow.

Peg is such a nice lady, she is really easy to talk to. Lectures are somewhat boring but gives lots of extra credit. All the exams are online, and I really only used the textbook for the tests. Final project is a presentation and outline (with proper apa citations). It's a good chunk of your grade but put in the effort and it's an easy A.

Peg can be a bit disorganized sometimes, her lectures are all over the place but trust me, write down whatever she writes on the board. Attendance matters or you'll lose an easy 100 points. Tests are open note and multiple choice. She's very nice and caring and super generous with the extra credit. Highly recommend for a Psych Major or stats req.

Very sweet and caring professor. (All Online)Four tests: 2 during semester, 2 Final . One big project with outline and APA, big chunk of your grade. Lectures were boring and unrelated to study guides or tests. She is super strict against you being on your phone. The book and the study guides are your best friend for the tests, or Google and CTRL F4

Peg is amazing. However she lectures fast and there is a lot of information to take in. She offers beacon tutoring with Crissy and she is absolutely the best tutor I ever had. Be ready to study and put a lot of work in but it is possible to pass. Extra Credit is available.

Professor Scott is an amazing professor. You have everything you need to pass from the beginning of the semester. You literally just have to show up, and pay attention, and take good notes. Take advantage of the notes, and hints she gives. She also gives good feedback, and is always available to help. It takes a lot of effort but it is easy to do.

Professor Scott is literally amazing! I took her for PSYC 300 and then 370. She really cares for her students. Her exams are awesome because she gives you the study guide and if you fill it out and don't rely on the book, the exams are a piece of cake. One of the easiest classes I've taken.

Professor Scott's outstanding! Listening to personal stories helped a lot with learning the material she gave us. The tests might seem hard but if you read the book and take thorough notes, you will do just fine! The presentation at the end of semester is a big deal, so take enough time to research your subject! Overall, I truly enjoyed her class!

Professor Scott is very caring and knowledgeable. Ive gotten more value out of coming to her office hours than from attending her lectures. She presents information in a scattered and overly complicated fashion. When the class expresses confusion she becomes overwhelmed. Youll have to put in extra effort to make sense of her presentations.

Professor Peg is caring, and really wants students to succeed. Attendance is a must. She checks attendance twice , if u miss one your marked absent. 4 Exams all on Canvas at home. Provided study guide which were helpful. Project at end semester worth 200 pts requiring good research. Overall great class considering taking her Stats class. Good luck

I took Prof Scott many moons ago. I came back to school after a few years of being away and all I can say is it was my favorite class and this was in the fall of 2011 and I still smile and have fond memories. It was one of the few classes that I felt like I actually learned something. She really changed my life.

Going into her class I was expecting rough curriculum, but I now can say that Professor Scott is one of the best psych teachers I've taken thus far at SCC. The way her lectures, videos, and handouts are formatted makes learning so much easier. Use the tools she provides and you will earn an A, the tests are quite easy and she's very understanding!

Participation and attendance is a must - for both understanding as well as for your grade. Prof Scott is passionate that her students learn, and is available for help. Unfortunately, virtual learning is difficult for this class - but Prof Scott tries to be very understanding.

I loved this class. Peg is such a great professor, she's really good at communicating with students and there's opportunities for extra credit. I took the 6 week asynchronous summer course so there was a lot of homework, but its doable as long as you manage your time well. There were weekly discussions on canvas, but they were actually pretty fun.

I'm so glad I took this class with Prof Scott! Her lectures will walk you through everything. She will advise you to put together a binder- do it! Fill it with your study guides (she provides a list of things to master for each section), her handouts, and examples. You can use the binder during exams. If you do this, you'll get an A for sure!

She is very nice and understanding of everyone's situations. The tests are worth a lot of points, they are easy at first, but get very difficult. You have to pay attention during the zoom lectures! She will slowly walk you through everything, but if you don't pay attention, you will struggle towards the end!!

This is one of the most amazing Professors. This lady cares! She gives you all the tools you need for success. She goes above and beyond. You have to do the work in this class! This class is not an easy A, but I promise you will have every tool you need.
