She is the awesomest teacher ever!! She is very helpful and easy to talk to. She has the best sense of humor. Whoever takes her next i just want them to know that she doesnt pick favorites. She cares about everyone in her class!
When i first went into this class i wasn't really interested in psyc. But Margo made the class fun and interesting and I am glad to have had the experience of meeting her. I highly recommend her class.
Mixed feelings. If you show up and participate, it's hard not to get an "A". However, she's manic and all over the board sometimes. She picks on you if she catches you looking at the clock or if you sit in the back. Probably wouldn't take her again.
This is a great teacher. Very clear in what she wants. I think that if I had the choice I would take her for every Psychology class I needed to take. She is a very funny woman and appears to truly care about her students and about the information that she is teaching. I will definately be looking for another one of her classes to take.
This is the way all teachers should be. She is prepared & knows her stuff & expects the same from you. All you have to do is come prepared to class & pay attention & you're guaranteed an A. The class is not easy but it isn't hard either. Plus, she's fun & makes it worth your while to come to class. Bottom line-I learned what I needed to & then some
she is a very great teacher that is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you understand it.
Prepared, interesting, helpful, and entertaining. Held my interest and kept the class laughing and interactive. Would definately recommend.
I love her! She is a awesome teacher. She really cares about her students and she wants to make sure you understand everything. She is very prepared and I love how she uses powerpoint to help teach. I recommend her! I am actually taking another psych class next semester with her. I will never go with another teacher for psychology.
SHE HAS WAY TOO MANY FAVORITES IN THE CLASS. ALSO SHE CANCELS CLASS TOO MUCH. I DIDN'T LEARN A THING IN THE CLASS.
I love her she is a great teacher and is very helpful. she is very organized and incorporates socializing with learning i.e. talk this over with the people around you. she gives you everything you need to pass right away and makes it clear that she is there to help you whenever you need it.
Prof Underwood is a real nice teacher she helps out her students and is willing to come before or stay after class.Everything is in the powerpoints and if you dont understand it she could give u examples to make it more clear.You also learn how to do reaerch which may be real helpful if you decide to continue into a 4yrs school.
She is a very nice teacher I would recommend taking her class. She does move very fast but everything you need to know is in the power points, and if you do not understand something she will be happy to explain it better to you. She is not a strict grader at all, she gives a lot of different opportunities for extra credit and help with test grade.
Mrs. Underwood has a great personality, she can keep her class active, thinking, and always on their toes.Her goal is to make sure the class is enjoying and having fun while they LEARN. She's clear on what's expected and is available to answer any questions. She gives every opportunity to strengthen your grade if looking a little on the rocky side.
Margot is a very helpful educator. She has a great understanding of people and tries really hard to accomodate all types of learning styles. She challenges you to think for yourself but is always willing to help guide you.
found the class very interesting and found that Margot is very knowledgeable in the this area. although, I found it very hard to keep up with the various intresting yet confusing terminology she used during that class that was not part of the text. all in all she is willing to help anyone and hopes for everyones success. great person!
Margot is a fantastic teacher. She is very respectful and is truly concerned with each students success in this course. I would definitely recommend taking her!!!
Margo is the best!!!! she is so helpfull and she is always so concerned about her students. she gives students all the tools they need to understand the class and succesfully pass it.I would soooooooo recommend her class to everyone.
She is extremely fair and you earn what ever grade you get. Margo is highly motivated and dedicated to teaching. The best teacher I have ever had. She is very understanding and cares about her students-even ones with broken hands.
I would recommend taking a class by Mrs. Underwood to anyone because she really cares not only about the subject she's teaching, which is very important, but she also cares about her students. She's up beat and fun, but she also means business! Her enthusiasm makes me want to pay attention, and I really enjoyed going to her class. Take her class!
This was a difficult class, however, I have never attended a more fair class. Margot is very clear when detailing expectations and provides scaffolding to aid students in goal achievement. Excellent class, excellent teacher.
Margo is a great teacher. She sets her expectations high for all her students and expects all will achieve. She is very encouraging,helpful,extremely fair,and knowledgeable about the topics she teaches. The tests are quite challenging, but in this class she allows you to earn a lot of extra points(make sure you do it, you'll probably need it).
Margo's class is rough, but students are given ample opportunities to suceed at thier level. Margot is more interested in having the student learn than the grade.
Mrs. Underwood is a great teacher. The course is difficult but she makes it easier by extending herself to the students and tries her best to explain the subject. She stays after class if you need her to and she makes it easy to get in contact with her. She gives everyone a fair opportunity to get an A and she excepts late work.
Mrs. Underwood is not an easy professor but she gives you ample opportunities to succeed in her class. Her buy-back system helped me to understand why I got some questions wrong on her test which increased my understanding of the subject. She is more than fair and I think that is the most important quality for a teacher.
She is such an amazing teacher!! Her enthusiasm in the subject was very helpfull. I would find it difficult to not get something out of her class. She is the perfect teacher. She gives you many oportunities to get an A in the class. Her class objectives helped me out a lot. If you are going to take a psych class and she is teaching it, TAKE HER!
She is a great teacher and I love taking classes taught by Margot. I didn't even need to take this class I just took it because Margot taught it.
If you like professors who read you your text book this is NOT your class! Camp Underwood utilizes real life examples and student input to learn teaching theory. Class participation is encouraged. Margot is very clear, precise, and sets expectations early on to lead a great semester of learning. Thanks Margot-You're the Best!! EA
Mrs. Underwood is a very understanding teacher. She understands that you have other classes and things going on and believes that you should be able to bend the rules a little. She is always nice and willing to bend over backwords for what you need.
This class was challenging. Margo was very helpful and made the class interesting. I would take another course that she is teaching.
I respect Margo and believe in her like she believes in her students. She has so much knowledge and experience is not afraid to speak of her private life. She made me feel comfortable and I had no problem asking her questions. She is a kind professional who is doing something she loves, I can tell from her devotion and in her smile. Thanks Marg
ABSOLUTELY A WONDERFUL TEACHER. SHE MAKES YOU WORK...IT'S NOT AN EASY CLASS, BUT YOU LEARN SO MUCH. SHE IS HARD BUT FAIR AND ALWAYS HAS TIME FOR HER STUDENTS. YOU GET SO MUCH MORE FROM HER CLASS THAN OTHER JUNIOR COLLEGE COURSES. I LEARNED SO MUCH IN HER CLASS. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE--BUT BE PREPARED TO WORK...AND LEARN!
Energetic class that held my attention. Sometimes a little difficult to keep up with during lecture. Relatively challenging for a junior college course.
This teacher is fun but firm. She is understanding and a great motivator to keep us trying no matter what the situation. She had great strategies to help understanding material giving many opportunities for questions or debate. The best part is she knew her material and used only what she taught for her testing. This is a well defined teacher.
Margot is by far one of the greatest teachers I"ve ever had....She cares about her students and allows student input into her class. She loves to teach which is why she makes it so fun and interesting. I could be on 2 hrs. of sleep and still I never fell asleep in her class. She makes everyone feel like they belong and matter in her class.
This class really teaches you if you want to learn. She is fun but tough. Take this class even if you don't need it for your major. You can learn alot for life experience
If you don't get a good grade in her classes you are the problem! She helps over and beyond requirement and goes out of her way to make sure your learning experience is fun.
At first, I liked Mrs. Underwood but as the semester went on I felt she was a very opinionated, judging person. She even discussed a boy that had been in her class that had asperger's syndrome & kind of made fun of him & called him disrespectful, instead of stating that he has no control over his actions. I suggest not taking her class, she is rude
I had her for her Psych. 215 class and she was awesome. For some of the assignments in the class I was having a hard time and she was more than willing to help me with it. She even contacted me by phone a few times to follow up! I would definitely recommend her as a teacher for any of her classes. AMAZING TEACHER! A +++
She understands that everyone learns differently and takes that into account with all assignments. Buybacks after tests are great and help with understanding. Very knowledgeable and will go out of her way to make sure that you do good and understand things in her class. She also is very understanding of her students situations.
Fantastic professor. Wow, I would totally recommend this professor any day. I was not interested and dreading this class, until I took it. I learned things I think I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Amazing teacher, kind sincere, and extremely intelligent. She really cares about teaching and it makes class easy and understandable. She is very clear and makes class a lot of fun.
She is a very great teacher! She is always happy and energetic; she made class fun to go to! She explains everything Very well! She really enjoys what she does, and you can tell! She is very helpful and caring of all of her students. She is one of the best teachers I have had in my academic career thus far! TAKE HER CLASSES!
I have never met another teacher who was SO incredibly dedicated to her students. She knew all of our names within the first couple of weeks, which is nearly unheard of in college classes. She was more than willing to help ANYONE with ANYTHING. I took so much out of that class. She helps YOU learn the way in which YOU can be successful.
MARGOT WAS GREAT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER ESPECIALLY TO RN & EDUCATION MAJOR STUDENTS. SHE'S HARD BUT EXTREMELY HELPFUL. YOU'LL DO FINE IN HER CLASS IF YOU SHOW UP AND DO THE WORK.
Margot was AMAZING! I think it's really rare that you walk away from a class and feel like it impacted the way you think. She is the most helpful teacher I have ever had. HIGHLY recommended!!!
This lady is the definition of what a teacher should be, her classes are not at all easy, but fair... And if you cant get along with her or do well in her classes then there is something very wrong with you... The most dedicated teacher at J.J.C.
Margot was probably one of the best teachers i have had while attending college. I tell people about her at my university because she was so great. Take this class, and you'll actually not dread going. Very informative and prepares you to the level you need to be.
Extremely Helpful, Organized, Disaplined. WILLING TO HELP ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR HELP. IF you dont care, she dont care. Best teacher IN THE WORLD!
She is awesome, very helpful, caring.. If you needed help all you have to do is ask her and she is willing to do what she can to make it clear and help you.. she really wants to see her students succeed...
Most wonderful educator/woman in the world. This woman deserves some praise or an award or something! There is not a person in the world that I know of as dedicated as she is to her profession, and being a good person in general. Role Model central here. And in her defense, she didn't make fun of the child with aspergers! TAKE HER!
AWSOME!! A lot of teachers should be taking lessons from her.
Margot is not just a great teacher, she is an amazing person. With her experience and genuine caring, many people who do not understand psychological concepts will benefit from her teaching.
Margo is a fantastic teacher! She is BY FAR one of the best teachers at JJC. Although, she does play favorites, ex. calling on the same people--she says its because they are in the back. Regardless that, she knows her stuff!! She makes class fun with presentations. She gives breaks half way through class. Tests are easy online. I give her an A++++!
Took this online in the summer.Extremely difficult 7 chapters,30-35 pages long each.She provided online powerpoints that were helpful.I took PSYC 101 online and got an A, I received a B (barely)in 215.This class was very informative. She's very helpful & care about her students.If Psyc 101 is hard for you,don't take this one online in the summer.
You will learn in this class. Your grade in this class is pretty much up to you. You do not have to be a perfect student to get a perfect grade, but you will have to take the time to do the work, and in doing so you can get an A. Margot is very understanding. She teaches to her students' strenghts & creates a comfortable class environment
Margo is wonderful, she is extremely helpful! She is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. She cares about each individual and would be willing to do anything to help. She is not only a wonderful teacher, she is an amazing person. Professor Underwood has so much experience shes WONDERFUL! TAKE HER COURSE :)
she wont let you fail her class unless you give up on it altogether. kind of a hard time following the information if you dont keep up with the work but other than that shes interesting and its an easy grade
Best nicest teacher ever. I understood everything because she made sure everyone understood. She focuses on quality of work rather than due dates. I love not being bored during class. :) She makes learning fun! haha.
SHE IS AMAZING! I absolutely love Margot. You cannot fail. She will do anything to help. I can go to her and talk to her if i need to. She has a big research project but its not a paper. You choose when you present it. You will learn in her class. I wasnt interested in Psych at all. Now I'm minoring in it. TAKE HER! SHE IS AWESOME!!!
She was one of the best teachers I have ever had! She made everything so understandable, and if you want an easy A, take this class. We took all online tests, and she let us turn in our homework a second time for higher points if we missed anything. She is so uppity and fun! Everyone should take her class!
I've taken two classes with her, and I would take any class with her! I'm actually happy going to her class, and I've never been bored while there. She is extremely intelligent, but is also very down to earth. I've learned so much in her classes, because she relates the material to real life experiences. Do not take anyone else but her!
Class is a lecture but she keeps it interesting. The class is semi easy if you keep up on your work, Only things that you get graded on is tests, Final Project and lecture notes which can be printed off the internet and turned in. She is very dedicated to her work and has a love for psychology. she is also very flexible with homework.
Amazing teacher! Challenging but fair.
Margo is an awesome teacher! She is willing to work with you only if you're willing to put forth the effort. Be ready to bring your A game to her class. Her exams are tough and you need to be able to apply what is taught in the textbook/lectures and apply it to real life situations. She gives A LOT of oppurtunites for people to earn xtra credit too
This class isn't hard. tests are hard but you can earn extra points. she makes class interesting. don't overwhelm her with questions and request because she snaps. she gets stressed too easily. that is the only bad thing about her. other than that i would Recommend her as a teacher. she actually cares about her students and how well they do.
I took 215 online and it was really difficult. her tests are super hard. there are critical thinking questions that make not sense. i would take her in class not online because her power point suck. i ended up with an A only because her gave us some extra credit at the end. but if u take this online be prepared to study a lot!
Best teacher i have ever had. she is very flexible but dont take advantage of it, she isnt dumb. basically she gets it, how to teach that is. there is a fairly heavy workload for the class but extremely manageable. thanks for the great semester margo!
Margot is the best teached I've ever had. She is passionate about what she teaches and she tries her hardest to make it interesting for her students. Although her classes aren't easy, you actually learn a lot of things. She is soooo nice and really cares about her students. I recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Good teach who puts emphasis on the student. She does not give due dates &lets u work @ your own pace- highly suggest keep up w/ reading. u r expected to read prior to class. Lecture reinforces. Exams r hard. u learn a concept & then apply it to real world. u can redo exams & do buybacks. Hard not to get an "A" Attendance is must! Gives great notes
Margot is the BOMB. She is full of life and energy. She makes learning FUN. She has so much knowledge. She had our whole class pumped and excited about learning it was amazing. I would highly recommened Margot for any Psyc classes. You will not go wrong!!!!
I LOVE MARGOT! she is the best teacher EVER!!! i can not be more thankful to have had her as a teacher! she is the only teacher who gives a damn about her students! shes great- i couldnt have asked for a better teacher! GO MARGOT!
She is an amazing teaher! I just love her. She is by far the best teacher i have ever had. I have taken classes that i didnt even need, just because she was the teacher. She really has a way of helping her students understand the material and apply it to real-life. It is clear that she really cares about her students, their needs, and future. If yo
OMG..... All the Teachers need to sit in on her class and take notes she makes it interesting. You can tell she is very into w=her teaching and students.
Finally I have found a professor that keeps my interest! The class may not be easy but I am enjoying it because of her! She is funny and she really works to get us to think. I'm totally enjoying this class and I hope to have her in the future. :-)
IF YOU LOOK UP UNDERWOOD IN THE DICTIONARY, THE WORDS: AMAZING, FUN, INTERESTING, CARING, AND CHALLENGING ARE RIGHT NEXT TO IT!! MARGO IS ABSOLUTLY; HANDS DOWN THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU CAN FAIL HER CLASS, SHE'S TOUGH BUT VERY VERY VERY! FAIR!! DEF HAVE HER AS A TEACHER, I KNOW I WILL AGAIN!!!
Margot is a very wonderful teacher and very caring. She is very helpful and knows her stuff. I would def. reccomend her to anyone needin to take psyc 215. All of her tests are online and she lets you retake them for a better grade!
Margot is a great teacher! She is extremely fun, energetic, and helpful. She really cares about helping students learn and getting good grades. The tests are a bit hard but she allows you to buy back half the points which is very helpful. If you put effort into the class, you will get an A. I would take any class with her, she is awesome!
Great teacher!
Probably one of the greatest teachers I've ever had! Sure it can be challenging at times and requires a LOT of work and effort (and the tests can be hard), but she focuses the learning around you (the student) and makes it so learning fits everyone's individual style. No second thoughts at all, TAKE HER CLASSES!!!!!
suuuch a good teacher! she loves her job, & takes a genuine interest in her students. she will not only make sure you LEARN, she will help with ANYTHING else! especially concerned with our futures. She makes you WANT to learn & do your work because she's such an enthusiastic inspiration. LOVE HER! TAKE HER CLASS(ES) FOR SURRRE! :)
Margot is a very genuine, kind, and intelligent person. She is a wonderful teacher who honestly cares where her students go in life and is constantly going out of her way for them. Her tests are difficult (which she loves to hear!), but not impossible-they apply real world thinking and understanding of concepts discussed in class.
CAMP UNDERWOOD ROCKS! SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER HANDS DOWN...her tests are hard and she is so proud of it!(can retake if you do bad) there is no way to fail her class, she cares about your grade and wants to see you do good, will do anything for anyone and is so compassionate about teaching! LOVEEEE HER! everyone needs to take her!
She is a wonderful teacher ! Cares alot about what you are learning and your grade in the class ! Will work with you and your grade !! Tests are a little hard but its open notes online & she lets you retake if you mess up ! She is simply amazing !! Youd be crazy not to take her ! Got an A in her class and it wasnt hard to get it !
A genuinely wonder professor on every level. She is extremely personable, intelligent, caring, and just an all-around rock star! Camp Underwood...who's the boss of you? YOU ARE!!!
Margot is a wonderful teacher who cares about her students success. Although she is very helpful and understanding do not abuse her! Her tests are challenging so make sure you are prepared.
As someone who actually enjoys going to school, I absolutely dreaded going to this class. Not because it was hard but because attendance was so absolutely pointless I couldn't stand it. Class centers on peer discussion (waste of time) and watching videos that you never actually finish. I'm SO happy to be done with this class.
I love Margot! If you show a general interest in the class and psychology, she will love you! Her motto's are "Who's the boss of you?" and "Learning never expires!" She'd rather you take extra time and make your project awesome than turn it in being mediocre. Take her! Just beware of her tests, they are HARD! But you can retake them.
Margot is great!! She is so sweet and helpful. She gives positive reinforcement and will work with her students to see them succeed in her class. She is the best teacher I have ever had. I highly recommend her class to everyone.
Margot Underwood is a WONDERFUL woman. I'd recommend her a million times over. She genuinely cares about everyone and makes you WANT to learn. She believes you are the boss of you, so you get to think and learn how you want to and she will encourage and support you the whole way through. I would love love love to take her again, and I probably will
Mrs Underwood is the best teacher I have ever had..In any subject because she knows a little about everything and a whole lot about Psych!! She is beyond helpful as long as you ask..Her famous line is who is the boss of you! And she is so true! I would take her class over and over if I could in any subject!!
Great teacher, I'm taking the online class and find it very easy to follow, clear cut as far as what's expected, when things are due and how things are to be done.It's not an easy A, but easy to get an A if you put in the time and effort.Prof. Underwood is very helpful and encouraging and I would highly recommend the online class!
Margot is a diamond in the rough. If only professors like her existed at every college. When she says she will remember you so she can network, she remembers you. I love Camp Underwood and her Bubba Keg!!! :D Summer Developmental Psych 2010 Rocks!!
i hated her. she was to random. hard to take notes and really understand the work. i dont see how people like her so much. i did not enjoy her class at all. she makes things awkward.
I took Margot for two classes a few years ago, and wish I could find another psych teacher like her! I was not excited about psych before her class, but she was so good that I almost made it my major! She can be tough, but pushes you because she knows you have the potential! Great teacher!
I loved the class! She is really nice, and she takes the time to really know her students. However, this isn't a slacker class, I put the most effort in this class by far, but you'll find Margo spends even more time making her class better. The tests are HARD! Be peprared, but she gives you chances to make up the points. Take her, its worth it!
You'll either love her or hate her, it's that simple. Sometimes due dates are unclear so you REALLY have to create your own deadlines so you aren't rushing to finish projects the week before finals. Overall I was happy with the class, bonus points were easy and I often just turned in my notes to get my points. Good class, helped me become organized
Whats not to like about her. Her willingness to help her students out both in and outside the class. Her main goal is for us to learn and if we arent uncomfortable she's not doing her job. Her enthusiasm is apparent especially when it comes to learning the parts of the neuron Extra credit is easy to come by and as for our test we can retake them =)
BEST TEACHER EVER! She's by far my favorite I've had so far. The class is easy if you pay attention, exams are online, can be done multiple times, and homework has no set due dates. She really cares for her students, and has helped me plan ahead for my transferring as well as my future major.
Margot is a wonderful teacher. She may go off on tangents, but that is her way of trying to unite the material with life. She'll listen to almost any request, she'll hold your hand the entire time if you ask, and she'll teach intelligently while being generally pleasant. She might want you to succeed more then you do.
Positives: Unbelievable person, insane knowledge, loads of extra credit, outstanding teacher Negatives: gung-ho, can get you lost sometimes, disorganized Overall: She is a must take, and she is one of those teacher you will remember forever!
VERY nice person, understands that things happen outside of school and can be lenient with you. I took her lifespan class online, and wouldn't recommend it only if you have a full schedule already. Lots of work (with due dates) involved, can get very stressful. Otherwise, I recommend her for laid-back semesters or in person!
BEST PSYCH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! SHE IS AMAZING! SHe is so nice such a good teacher I learned a lot and actually wanted to learn the material! Do the HW!
Margot is an awesome teacher. The only teacher that uses different styles of teaching. I loved the variety of techniques used to teach. She has incredible knowledge and loves teaching. She gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit as well as plenty of opportunities to take the on-line tests. An EXCELLENT teacher and an AWESOME human being.

Extremely energetic & passionate professor. Ms Underwood invests time into her students and you will get an "A" if you work for it.You will learn in this class, if Psych is not your forte you are wasting her time. Great professor her teaching techniques are second to none, also she encourages the use of technology to further studies.
Very upbeat teacher, tries to give many opportunities for you to get an A, do the work, pay attention, & have fun. If I would have known about her for 101 I would have definately taken her for 101 also. Loved being in her class.
LOVED Margot! Wish I had her for longer then just a summer course cuz I'm pretty sad at how fast things went, AMAZING person and teacher
I took the online version of psych 215, she is very friendly, and willing to go beyond her job as an instructor to help you out, even if it means extensions on certain assignments, and she will always praise you on the work you have turned in.
I took this course in the summer. She is nice but lazy on doing her part of the work. She gives you tons of busy work for a summer class. You do walk away knowing the material though. Its kinda hard!
AWESOME! I am taking her for psyc 215 and she is my favorite teacher so far.She is extremely helpful if you do not mind writing out Learning Objectives.On certain assignments she will even give it back with comments and let you resubmit of more points.She really likes to help people succeed!
SHES AMAZING!!!!! Take her You will not regret it! I have never in my entire life met such a nice teacher/ person!! Shes smart, loving,n caring! You learn the material in this class and you pass with a grade you honestly deserve ( which is an A). You have to do your part of the work though!
I had Margot for abnormal,child & general psych and she.was.AWESOME.She is an amazing teacher and the reason why I changed my major to secondary education. I have never met anyone more wiling to help a student more than Margot is.Her tests are not easy but they're online so they shouldn't be.Her teaching style makes class so fun yet understandable
She is a very cool teacher and easy to get along with but do not take her class if you do not want to work. You earn the grade you deserve by how much effort you put in. Lovely woman and cares so much about her subject. I would recommend, but do not slack because the deadlines for everything is the last day of class.
Even though I saved almost everything until about 3 weeks before the due date and had to skip a few nights of sleeps, this class was still incredibly fun and I learned a lot. The tests are college level, so really know your stuff.
She is an absolutely wonderful person, and she really knows the subject she teaches. However, if you don't like change DON'T TAKE HER CLASS. Class is filled with group projects, constant discussion amongst peers, and learning through visual things such as videos, etc.. If you learn best through taking notes, she's not the teacher for you.
Probably the best teacher I've had..truly cares about the subject and does a great job of explaining.only downfall is there are a lot of discussion with peers but other then that I highly recommend her! Super nice lady and will go out of her way for her students!
She was an AWESOME teacher and very knowledgeable. She's passionate about her career and willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed.
She has a lot of energy.She does not follow the pattern of I teach you listen.She makes the class get involved.All tests are at home on-line open everything.You can take them 2 times and she lets you buy back half the points you missed.Quizzes are easy and she gives you do overs.There was 1 project.She is helpful and wants you to pass the class.
She is one of my favorite professors I have had so far!She makes it easy to get an A if you do the work. I have had some things come up and she was more than willing to work with me.
She is a great teacher! She really goes above and beyond. It is not the standard lecture class, she brings in movies and pictures and encourages class discussion. I cannot think of a better teacher who could teach this class! Take her! You'll love the class!
Let me help you guys out instead of reading all 2o something pages of her comments... SHE WILL BE ONE OF YOUR BEST teachers EVER! she helps you, she wants you to be the best you can be... this is my fourth class wit her-TAKE HER! HER classes fill up fast so get on it! :)!!!!
I took her for 215 online. It was A LOT of writing, but a fairly easy class. She always attached positive messages to graded work. Just get the work done and you should have no problem getting an A!
I took her class online. Extensive participation in the discussions are required. Her expectations are high. You receive low grades on assignments unless you provide an extreme amount of details in your answers. She is flexible if an emergency arises. She will go out of her way to help. Gives a ton of motivation. Exams are timed. Can retake exams.
She's amazing! The best teacher I've ever had in my entire life. She requires a lot of work and participation but dont't get discouraged you will learn! Especially for those students who is paying for the class out of pocket it is worth every penny! She is loud and friendly and speaks her mind. Trust me she makes learning fun.
She is amazing.Her only goal is for you to learn. Everything you do in class is for you to get something out of it. She wants the best for everyone.She is not just an amazing professor but she is an amazing person. MY FAV PROFESSOR EVER.I got an A but I worked for it and learned more than I ever expected. Take her in class SHE IS LOTS OF FUN.
I took Margot's online class, and I liked her, but there was too much busy work. Each week you had an original post & three responses. Often,there were videos to view on top of the week's reading. Learning objectives take a lot of time to complete. Good class & teacher, but only take the online class if you have a light load.
Margo will help you out if you need it, and her class is fairly easy; however, very time consuming. Her online class has lengthy homework assignments and lengthy discussion boards, due each week! Its almost like she thinks her class is the only one her students are taking.
Margo is a caring, funny but seious teacher. She is strong in her beliefs about being a teacher and what it really means to be a teacher. her class is not easy and although the exams are nline they are tough. when she says to mark your pages do it. use the online pretest and quizes. i never would have made it through the class w/o them. homework!!
She was the best and kept the class interesting and on going. She is extermely helpful in any way whether its about life or school. She pushes her students to to their best at what they want to do and that is what I loved about her. I will miss her! Just study study study. Oh yeah better know all the parts of the brain!! She is the best!
I can tell she is interested in what she teaches. However, she DOES NOT really teach anything..Basically you teach yourself...if thats what i had wanted i would just get a book from the library. She gives way to much hw not enough explanation and her tests....not even on what we went over in class. RIDICULOUS
By far one of the best teachers I've ever had. She is passionate and makes sure you know the material. It was a very challenging class, but only because you actually learned. Not for you if you don't care and just want an easy A. I highly recommend her she cares about each student and wants you to succeed.
She was so nice and so helpful, one of the best teachers ive had at JJC.Class is easy
She is such an amazing teacher. She's fun, enthusiastic, easy-going, smart, and caring. However, word warning: If you are a procrastinator, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. If not, great. Her motto is "Whos the boss of you" which means you turn stuff in whenever you want. Be careful, though.
Margot is really a nice person. However, there is A LOT of homework. It's very difficult to keep up with. I appreciate her, but I think she needs to realize people have more to their life than just her class. Just be preaprd to know you will be VERY busy.
She is an amazing professor!! Loved her
SUPER nice lady. very motivated BUT gives out A LOT of projects. seriously, as if it were your only class. DON'T take if you're a procrastinator. I hated going to class because we did nothing.
Margo is an amazing easy laid back teacher. She does give out A LOT of homework but as long as you turn something in you'll get a 100% and there’s no deadlines. I wouldn't take this class if you're actually trying to learn something because she gives out more homework then she actually teaches.
The best college professor I have ever had!
She is a great instructor! Some think she is difficult because she teaches her students to actually learn, not just to pass. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS doing anything she can to help her students understand the material. Watch your assignments and dont let them pile up! They will come back to haunt you at the end. Taken her twice and love her!!!
Margot truly is a wonderful teaher and person. She's honestly one of the kindest, genuine people I've ever met.
If you take Professor Underwood, pace yourself with the work load. Do the assignment as she gives them out because everything will be due at the end of the semester. DO NOT WAIT until the last two weeks of class to get things done. She is VERY flexible and fair. She is VERY knowledgable about anything psychology. She's entertaining and fun.
Awesome teacher. She knows what she is doing. There is alot to do, but if you do the assignments as she hands them out, you will be just fine :) received an A.
One of the best professors ever! Take her classes if you can! :D
MARGO'S ONLINE COURSES ARE VERY ORGANIZED. THE CHAPTER ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE THE SAME TIME, EACH WEEK, EACH CHAPTER. IT'S VERY EASY TO GET AN A. LEARNING OBJECTIVES TAKE SOME TIME BUT SHE DOES IT FOR YOURE OWN BENIFIT. I'D SUGGEST MEETNING HER IN PERSON. SHE'S FUN,LOUD,ENERGETIC AND IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR INFO ON JOBS AND GETTING INVOLVED.
Margot is the greatest teacher I've ever had. I've never had a teacher so passionate and she truly loves her students and what she does. There is no due dates but I suggest you get stuff done early. Very fair, easy to get an A. Main focus of her class is an antistigma project which is also easy and inspiring. I'd take her for everything if I could.
Margo is a fun and energetic teacher. She tells you how it is, no bs. As much as I love her as a person, her class was hard for me to follow. Lots of projects that are easy but I never learned anything from the class.
There is a lot of work and study guides that are 1,000 word limits. The study guides are basically the tests. There is a lot of homework to do. I recommend taking it online for people willing to do the work. There isn't as much work/projects as the traditional in-class. I have also taken her in class and she's hard but VERY funny!
Margot is truly a great person. She genuinely cares about her students. She wants you to learn, and wants you to get a good grade! If you are a person who learns best by lecture type classes, you may not want to take Margot. Her classes are mostly like, you working on projects for the class. There's a lot of work in this class! Pace yourself!
Easy! The class consists of a lot of busy work, but all of the psyc 210 classes are like that. Margot is great!
There are no lectures = different from any other online class I've had. There is SO much work for this class, it's ridiculous. For every chapter she gives you 15-20 questions that you have to answer basically in essay format. Minimum 2,000 words per packet. What's worse is she makes you fill it with fluff (you can't only use the book/powerpoint).
Very understanding and laid back teacher! Lots of typing and busy work, but you do learn a lot. I would not recommend taking this course over summer it is too fast. Do the work and you will have no problems!
This was one of the BEST online instructors I've had. She's always ready available via text, phone or email. She assists you through the entire process at 9am or 10 pm on all ssignments. She was always willing to help! She wants everyone to succeed and she believes in helping you do that! A+
This course required me to be very committed as prof. Underwood assigns very time consuming assignments that, in my personal opinion, does not help in regards to learning. However, the discussion boards are fun ways to learn from your peers, and the rest of the course material is interesting, as much as you can expect from Psyc. Highly Recommended
Margot underwood is the best professor I have ever encountered at JJC. The best part about her is that she wants her students to learn in their own unique ways and she goes above and beyond to ensure you succeed in her class. The material is interesting and she makes lesson fun. This is not a blow-off class. Every grade is earned so expect to work.
She is a great person. She wants all of her students to pass and that's what I love about her. I just got very frustrated since we did not learn any material in class that was on our exams. The exams were difficult. The projects were fun. She is willing to help out but do not take her if you want to take notes and learn the material.
Margot is a truly wonderful person. To be honest though, I hated her class. There were so many assignments that were given, and I found most of them confusing. She can be a bit unclear about how she wants something done. I really didn't learn anything in this class. The work is very time consuming. Margot as a person is awesome, the class isn't.
I took this class online and it was very easy. She always got back to me quick about any concerns or questions. The exams were a little hard. She made this class fun but watching videos and taking fun self assessment quizzes. Highly recommend!
Margo is a great and very caring person, but i did not enjoy the class. We did not learn much in class.I could honestly say I barely learned a thing, but she is very entertaining and energetic so it makes the class better!
I'm sure she means well, but she gives out too much homework and is not very clear with her instructions. She seems to disregard the fact that she is not our sole instructor. I will never take one of her classes again.
I took this class over the summer in 6 weeks. We had 3-4 2,000 word "papers" due each week plus 1-2 discussion boards. While it was doable it was a little difficult at times. I think if taken during a full semester the work load would have been easier. Overall, great teacher.
Great teacher! Very helpful and has a awesome attitude. I definitely recommend this teacher and the class! I learned a lot, easy A! There is a lot of homework but it's really simple.
Loved her class, she makes it worth your time to be there and only asks that you respect the time that you are learning, her class always seemed to fly by. You will regret not taking her course.
Great online curriculum. Every week there is a discussion board, "learning objective" (LO's), and quiz. They are very easy. Don't be scared of the LO's. She asks for 2000 words total worth of answers, but you can copy them straight from the book (which is provided free online by her) and get a 10/10. Easy A, take her.
Mrs. Underwood is a very compassionate, wonderful teacher. I have never met anyone so devoted to her students and extremely helpful. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Love her she is very understanding and helpful and always willing to help her students
Very understanding & kind. The online class was easy, but a lot of work. The learning objectives take awhile and they are assigned every week, along with a quiz, and a discussion board. So not an impossible class, just not a blow off one. She also gives a lot of extra credit. It was my first of many online classes thanks to her being so great!
Best teacher ive ever had! Changed my outlook on school. She makes everyone happy and wants everyone to do well and will help. If you fail this class you did not try and no one can feel sorry for you.
She is one of the most positive teachers I have had ever. She teaches a tough subject but does it very well and efficiently. Even though she gets sidetracked, she always ends up back on track. She is a bit loud, but EXTREMELY energetic, perfect for an early morning class. She cares if you show up, and is a mother figure to her students.
The best class i have ever taken. She is my favorite teacher. she really cares about the subject and having her students suceed.
She is such an awesome teacher. She has a background in therapy, so honestly if you need anything she is there for you. She is a very good grader and provides feedback. you always get a second chance if she knows you did try. I cannot wait to have her again next semester
Margot is impeccable. Make sure you don't get behind on online activities because they'll catch up to you and kick your butt! PAY ATTENTION to reading, the test will take forever if you don't. Tests are online. Barely any in-class assignments. You can miss class as long as you're willing to do supplemental work to make up for it. You'll love her!
SHE IS AMAZING! I loved her so much I decided to take her again! Her lectures are so unique and she's always using great examples. Full of energy, so fun, and such a sweet wonderful lady. She really wants to see everyone pass and she cares deeply! It's an easy A as long as you complete your work, which she grades very easily. Take her if you can!!!
She is always there for you, she is a great person and teacher ,she cares about you and your work so she will make sure you pass her class. I am taking her class again.
She is always there for you, she is a great person and teacher ,she cares about you and your work so she will make sure you pass her class. I am taking her class again. And hope you give her a chance too
Awesome professor who cares greatly for her students. She hopes everyone passes her class, and she will do everything to make it happen. If you need help or clarification on something, she'll take time out of her busy schedule to talk to you. She is really involved with her students' lives, especially those who approach her individually.
She is amazing. She gives awesome feedback. If you do the work you will get the grade you deserve. It is not a hard class. She incorporates things that she really thinks will interest us. And she does a great job at that. Definitely not a boring online class.
Mrs. Underwood is the best professor I have take at JJC. She really wants her students to succeed and provides an amazing learning environment. I recommend her to all students, even if you're not a psychology major. There is NO way you could pass her classes without an A, seriously.
So sweet and caring! There's no way u won't get an A in her classes unless you don't try! Pretty much all the work is online, open book, including tests. Easy grader, very interesting and compassionate. Will help whenever u need it and is super dedicated to her class. Highly recommended!
Margot is amazing. She is very understanding especially about due dates. Also for the tests (only 3) u can take up to 3x and more if needed, just have to talk to her& her answer will be yes. Take her! Not only will u learn a lot, but she wants ppl to interact with each other. Allows cell phone use as long as pay attention &you respect her time. (:
Her modules were very organized and were available throughout the entire semester. There weren't many tests, but the learning objectives were lengthy at times. I felt she was a fair grader. I loved the virtual life portion. As long as you read through the book, you'll be fine.
She is an amazing and inspiring woman like none other you've met. Don't miss out on her class, even if you don't need it. She makes you view the world completely different, and makes you realize you're the boss of you. Attend class, ask for help, do the online homeworkquizzes & you'll learn so much and have a lot of fun!
Such an amazing woman! Total of 10 assignments, 4 exams online you can re-take as many times as you need AND you can "buy back" points lost. For someone who has never taken a math class since high school & I'm terrible at it. Margot saved my student liiiife waiving the pre-req. You will work for your A but if you do the assignments YOULL GET AN A!
Great teacher, would definitely take again! There are no due dates on anything it's pretty much work on your own pace! The quizzes, tests, & homework assignments are online. As long as you do it you'll get an EASY A! Love her, very inspirational person she will always be there for you! Definitely recommend her!
I took this class online and it is so fun and interesting! You will definitely need the book, she assigns learning objectives for every module. She puts all of the assignments up for the whole semester right at the beginning so you can finish everything as fast as you want. Tests are easy as long as you do the assignments. I would take her again!
VERY nice teacher, she made 8AM classes exciting to go to. Overall curriculum was fair. Her class should not be hard at all if you study.
She is super nice, but super confusing. Do not take this class if you expect to learn anything. I missed class all of the time and still ended with an A. I passed this class with quizlet for the exams. "Control F". There is no final exam. On the virtual child she will give full points even if the short answers are not answered!!!
Amazing! She actually cares about her students.
She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is so inspirational in class and so heartfelt in everything she does. You do have to do your work but most of it is online and she allows till the end of semester to get things turned in. Test are online and open book but timed so make sure you know your stuff. I have taken her multiple time!
Love Margot would take her for all my classes if i could! she really is a great teacher and is always there if you have a problem. never makes deadlines for homework, but that doesn't mean dont turn it in. it will make life easier if you do it when she says.
Best teacher I've had at Joliet Junior College
Professor Underwood is really down to earth and very helpful. What are due dates? The most aggravating thing about the class is "the virtual life" it's very time-consuming and a waste of time. No final exam other than taking your last chapter exam online for your final exam grade. If you don't go to her class it upsets her. Don't take it online
Margot is an awesome Professor! She LOVES assigning prezis and animotos, so if you won't do that, don't take her classes. She likes to get us to teach each other, and make ourselves study guides. All the tests are online, if you show up and do the work asked, you'll get an A.
Margot is the most amazing woman I have ever met. If you need ANY kind of psychology class I recommend Margot 110%, be prepared to work a lot in groups and do lots of projects to learn. She is very lenient on work, but don't slack too much because then you'll be doing it all the last week of classes!!!
best teacher ive ever had. shes so great and understanding and honestly a great person overall. easy class, just do what she asks and youll do great.
Margot is the best teacher I have ever had. She cares about every student. She is a gem. Everything was clear and she makes sure every student passes.
For the Psych 215 online class, there is a lot of typing and quizzes (which I don't mind, because it is consistent every single week) so it is an EASY A. By far the easiest online class I have ever taken. Just do the work, be aware of deadlines and you will be fine.
One class with this woman is equivalent to four classes with normal professors. She gives a ridiculous amount of busy work! Her grading criteria is unclear. She does not respond to student emails in a timely fashion (especially for having an online class).Everyone I talked to about this professor raved about her but I WOULD NOT RETAKE HER EVER!!!!!
She is the best teacher I have ever had she is so understanding and completely flexible with retaking tests and awesome with how she gives lectures they are not boring and she gives you a lot of time to discuss what you are learning with people around you. She is the most caring teacher have ever met and will do anything for any of her students.
Margot is an amazing teacher even when she battled breast cancer she still put her students ahead of herself and is a very easy going and understanding. I wish i could take her for every class she is such an inspiration to all her students. For those who rated her bad you obviously didn't even show up to class or make an effort.
Margot is the best psychology teacher I've ever had!! Just about all the work is to be completed online and due at the END of your semester. She is the best story teller and cares for her students! I would take her for every class if I could. She is nothing but wonderful! You willing to put in effort, guaranteed A!!!! :)
Best teacher I've ever had. Each class is moving. I go to the main campus instead of the campus closest to where I live just so I can have her as a professor.
Best professor ever. I'm so glad i took her class when i did. Shes super cool in and out of class and shes willing to help whenever. She refers back to the text book majority of the time, making it worth the money ;-). Just be prepared for lectures, but she makes them fun and useful all at once. would definitely take again!
The best teacher ever! You won't regret taking her!
She actually cares about her students. Her class is made for people who actually want the chance to learn. She also keeps all of the things online and you have until the end of the semester to turn everything in. So if you fail its your own fault. She is amazing.
SHE IS A REALLY NICE PERSON AND SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT OTHERS. YOU WONT REGRET MEETING HER . S HE IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST !!!
so much fun
AMAZING Spontaneous
Took a class by Margot online. Keep up with the readings and assignments, and you will get an easy A. Yes, you WILL have to do actual reading and actual assignments for each chapter, as well as a discussion board. But put in the time and you'll do great. She's very understanding, and will delay a deadline if you ask. Highly recommend her.
She genuinely cares about her students. If you need to start networking, it is so easy to talk to her and she'll cheer you on! She is so positive and her class is enjoyable. She is a bit unorganized so it's easy to get behind on "due dates." A lot of online work that you can do whenever. Just show up and be positive and she'll love you!
One of the best classes I have taken. She is caring & hilarious during lecture. She wants you to learn. You learn in depth and it was amazing experience. She is lenient when it comes to getting assignments done. You have to purchase the ebook online to get assignments done. There is a lot of work to do but easy grader. Margot is awesome!
I took her online course and it was fairly easy. The usually discussion boards, 3 exams virtual child and adult (go along with the book). Gives extra credit. She will accept late work and will work with you. She's an amazing professor I really recommend her class.
Took Prof. Underwood for Psych 215 online and she was super clear on her expectations. You must complete Learning Objectives weekly which was the most time consuming part of the class. Other than that, she always is giving extra credit and as long as you hand in your work, you will pass.
If you ever have her and have anything negative to say about her, you're way too negative. She is the most inspirational person I know and only ever missed a class because she was battling cancer. Stay with the class and don't get behind or you'll get lost easily. She's amazing and I'm glad I had the privilege to have met her.
I took this class online during the summer. She requires 6 times the amount of work due in any other class. Including ALL of the learning objectives. Not to mention there are 6 other sections of pre & post test. Even if you pass your pre test, she wants you to do the post test. I had to work 4-5 hours a day to keep up. I would never take her again!
She's such an awesome teacher! She makes her expectations and assignments very clear and easy to follow. I took this online so I would email her, quite frequently, and she replies right away and always willing to help. She's super caring and understanding. TAKE HER.
Really great teacher. Super easy class. Really passionate about teaching. One of the nicest teachers I have ever met and definitely would recommend taking her.
This was an online class so there was a little more reading and homework than a physical classroom-type class. Syllabus was very easy to follow and understand. Each week there is an assignment, quiz/test, and chapter to read. Grades were very fair but there is a lot of reading. Professor is very passionate about the subject matter, which is awesome
I love this teacher!! she is very understanding and the online class is an easy A. I highly recommend taking this class.
Margot is such an amazing person and for that alone, taking her class is so worth it. Her passion for teaching and humanity as a whole is so clear and I respect and look up to her so much. There's quite a bit of work but as long as you do it, you'll do well. Take her for as many Psych classes as you can, she'll change your life!
Margot is the best! Shes so down to earth and really just makes everything about her students. She is very laid back with work but you have a lot of it to do so it makes you want to get it done. Im majoring in psychology and she just makes psych so amazing and interesting.
She is the best teacher I have every had throughout all my years of schooling. She is the most down to earth teacher who personally cares about every single one of her students. She is very flexible and understanding if you need extra time on assignments. her assignments have open due dates so your free to do assignments you YOUR free. Best teacher
Professor Underwood is a great teacher. She had clear grading criteria. I took this class online and didnt have any problems. I enjoyed the weekly discussions. Do the work and you will easily pass this class. I would take her again.
Margot Underwood is a phenomenal professor. She makes her class engaging and fun with different assignments and projects, I didnt write one paper. Its obvious she cares about her students and shes great.
Margot is one of the best professors Ive ever had. Though there is a ton of assignments to complete she is beyond fair with letting you turn them in. She never has due dates, whenever you have time to turn in your work she accepts it with a smile. Teaches life lessons along with lecture material. Shes amazing.
Hands down the BEST psychology professor! Margo's class is not hard at all, you can get an easy A if you do the work. She gives A LOT of EXTRA CREDIT opportunities.
Prof Underwood is great. I took her online class and passed with ease. It seems like there is a lot of work to do, but it is really easy work. The biggest part is reading the chapter and putting the Learning Objective question answers in your own words equaling 1000 words per chapter. It sounds like a lot but it isnt. I truly enjoyed her psyc class
I love Margo, shes an amazing teacher and really cares, she gives you every opportunity in the world to pass! 90% of the work is online and super easy, cant fail as long as you do everything. Gives lots of extra credit opportunitys. *Online class available for this section with her as well*
She is an amazing person and i would have loved to have her teach any of my other courses. there is a lot of work that you need to do, but she cares so much and does want you to succeed, you get the grade you worked or didnt work for. I wouldnt recommend this course to anyone that isnt ready to do the work.
Great teacher, but her class was more busy work than anything. She is good about extra credit, and always easy to reach.
The sweetest, funniest, and most caring teacher Ive had. You can tell she really enjoys teaching and wants you to do well.
You reply to her weekly discussions and have to reply to 3 other classmates discussions. You have complete a pretest, answer 23 questions after reading the chapter and a 15 question quiz for all 17 chapters. Then an exam on chapters 1-6 and so on, honestly so much busy work.
Best professor you'll ever have.
I see so many people trying to bash on the assignments she gives and that is all not true. If you actually do your homework like your suppose to do since were all in college, then you will EASILY pass this class. She is a cancer survivor and has nothing but love for every one of her students. She treats all of us as if were her own kids. TAKE HER
I took this class online and it was the best choice I made. As long as you're good with time management, take online. Discussion boards and chapter readings every week. Grading was very easy.
I LOVE this professor. She really took the time to make the course as enjoyable as possible. She is very caring and will respond to emails quickly at any time of the day. 10/10 would recommend her. I hope to take one of her classes again in the future. Also, there as a good amount of extra credit too.
Awesome teacher! Her material is very easy to understand. Exams and quizzes are not difficult. She replies to emails in a kind and professional manner. Easy A if you complete all of the assignments by due dates.
Truly one of the kindest and most involved professor I have ever had. Wants every student to be comfortable and succeed, and will do everything she can short of showing up at your house (and she might even do that) to help your learn. I took three of her classes and loved every minute of it.
Although there is a lot of time commitment to this class, it is online and you can complete it in your own time. I personally completed all of the assignments quickly and did not have any work to do past mid November. The work is also fun and interesting. I learned a lot!
The class was very interactive and fun. Some tests and modules you have to complete. Pretty hard to get below an A as the instructor allows you to take the modules an infinite amount of time until you get one hundred percent on them. Plus, the major exams will be allowed to be retaken at least one time.
Taking Psych 215 online with Professor Underwood was a great choice. It is easy to get an A. There are tests, modules, and discussion boards to complete but she gives you plenty of time to complete everything. I recommend taking this online class with her!
One of a kind soul. Shes so understanding and wants you to do your best. She cares so much about her students and loves what she does. Homework was easy and have unlimited tries. As well as practice quizzes. Exams you can extend time and take up to 3 times for best score and do corrections. We dont deserve her, shes the best. Easy A
The best teacher you will ever take. She is very understanding when you are not able to turn things in. She has a way of making class fun and informative. She goes beyond what the book says we need to learn. The first time I took this class with a different prof I got a D but with Margot (We go by first name) I got an A. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
Margot is the best professor I have EVER had. Shes so caring and you can tell she genuinely cares about her students and is passionate about what shes teaching.
Great experience! Tests are open book and not too difficult. Extra credit and most assignments have unlimited attempts so you can achieve the grade you desire. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Would definitely take her class again.
Margot is one of the kindest people I know, & definitely the kindest professor Ive had. She genuinely cares about each of her students and teaches things in a way which will be applicable in the real world. With that being said, she does expect you to do the readings and online assignments, since her lectures are more of application. I love her!
I took summer session online. I LOVE this professor. I would take her again no question. She in very knowledgable. She provides you with everything you need to succeed. Her instructions for the term are clear and concise. She is available for office hours via Teams and gives extra credit if you stop by. Deadlines are more than reasonable. A+ Prof!
Honestly, I don't have enough kind words to say about Margot, she's great!!! Psych 210 is such an interesting class and the professor really makes it worth your while. She is super nice and funny. Also, extremely accessible outside of class. Only thing to say is keep up with your assignments and you'll be golden. Overall, great class and teacher!
Professor Underwood was the kindest professor I've ever had. She was super understanding and the work she assigned was not hard at all.
Due to COVID-19 I took her honors course online. It was very easy to understand and she posted a chapter a week. She gives a couple extra credit assignments that are super easy. There are discussion boards and small assignments. She does not lecture, you are to learn through reading then review what you read through her homework
I took this course with Professor Underwood as an 8-week online course. She provides quick email responses, feedback on assignments, etc. She uses different learning tactics I haven't used before but it helped me understand the class better. I would recommend her to anyone, she is an extremely caring professor and wants students to do well!
I took this class online during quarantine which was difficult for me as an essential worker. I had some problems completing assignments on time due to work and some bad news with family and Margot Underwood was super understanding and gave me extra time. She also gave a ton of extra credit.
she is loving and kind. her tests do not really test important knowledge from the course but I assume she does it that way because the class is online and she knows you will use Quizlet and she gives you 2 tries per test. 3 tests total. rest is all Cengage assignments which are easy, boring, and consistent. take her classes. very understanding.
I had her online for Summer 2020. She was super nice and helpful. This class was an easy A. I recommend her!
For a professor who I took for an online course, I was able to communicate with her on-campus better than I was able to for many offline courses I've taken. She's one of the best. If you see her available for a course you need to take I can say she's likely the best option at JJC. Her syllabus makes her sound more more strict than she actually is.
This is my second semester with Prof. Underwood and she remains my favorite teacher at JJC. So passionate about her job and psychology in general. She is so easy to talk to and very accessible. I don't have enough good things to say. The class was easy, lot's of assignments, but very quick and easy work. Take her if you can!!!
All of the amazing and positive reviews others have left Margot are 100% accurate! I'm a psych major so I knew would like this class from the start but Margot made it even more enjoyable! She's always so considerate and all of her assignments are fun! She told us on a meeting just how much she cares about all of her students and she has a big heart
Very helpful and caring towards her students. She gives you many opportunities to make up late work. You have to study a bit, but the class is pretty easy. I loved the real world examples she used.
Shes the best psych teacher Ive had so far. She opens up all the assignments at the end of the semester for you to finish missing assignments. Shes an easy grader. She often sent inspirational quotes attached to my assignments. She was so sweet and offers help. I would definitely take her class again.
I took this class online during the summer (6 week session). The workload was not bad at all! She was super helpful and responsive when reaching out and always had a positive attitude. The quests given as assignments were actually quite fun to do as well.
Underwood is the best professor at JJC. Just know class is what you make it. I have taken maybe three or four of her classes and never gotten anything lover than B if not all A's. Her lectures make you want to learn more, she is one of the reasons I'm a psych major, so yes take her class and thank me later. learns diff. parts of the brain
Overall great teacher, will be there for you. just by showing up and doing the work your going to pass, the only thing that sucks was the learn smarts which don't have anything to do with underwood, they are time-consuming. would defiantly take her again!
I appreciated Mrs. Underwood this whole course. I took her online 6-8 week class and she was very helpful. If you respect her she respects you. Talk to her and she will understand. I learned a lot in this course and she was very organized and fun!
Mrs. Underwood was a great professor. This is my first semester back in school and online. As long as you do your work you are guaranteed an A. Professor Underwood replies fast and communicates well.
Took an 8 week course with underwood. The work load is ridiculous for an 8 week course. I am in several other short classes this summer & they are MUCH more manageable. I would take this prof during a full 16 week semester.
Margot is the best teacher you could ever take for anything. I had her for Lifespan Psychology and Abnormal Psychology. She is so understanding, homework weekly, super easy just time consuming. Her lectures are amazing and treats you as people rather than students. If i needed anyone to talk to, it was Margot! I loooooooove her
Trust me, please take her as a teacher. She lectures in a way that shows that she truly cares about psychology and her students. She has the most beautiful energy. You will look forward to going to her class. The most understanding when it comes to assignments. She NEEDS a raise. She has what ALOT of professors lack. I wish I could type more.
She is an amazing professor.
Amazing!!!
Sweetest most flexible professor I have ever had. Incredibly understanding and realistic and makes the content so easy to understand. She will make you enjoy class.
favorite ever. amazing, sweet, highly educated, flexible, understanding, passionate. makes content easy to understand and relatable. 10000/10. took 8 week class and I would not have done well if I had any other prof. cares about her classes. best educator I have ever met. genuinely cares about her students. trust me you want to take her class.
Do your work, and you will do fine, she answers emails!
I'm begging you to take this teacher. Mrs. Underwood is fantastic! She made learning the material in this course super easy and exciting. The homework assignments and discussion boards are actually very helpful/fun and the tests are very straight forward. Overall, this has to be one of my favorite teachers and courses I've taken at JJC! :)
it looks like a lot of assignments at first but easiest class ever. if you email her with questions she responds fast and grades assignments by the next day. you can tell she is a caring teacher. there is nothing besides good words to describe Underwood. would definitely take her for future classes when i have the chance.
She is an amazing teacher. She is very understanding whether its something personal or need more time for the homework. She's so sweet and respects everyone. She does give work but gives enough time to complete it. She does everything you need to help pass the class.
I finished this class on-line, besides reading the chapters, most weeks there is a Discussion Question with replies to other students. Each week there is a Learn Smart simulation to complete which was very easy. Then there is a quiz over that simulation. Easy tests.
Wish I could take her on different courses. Please choose her as a professor in psychology if you ever got the chance!
Professor Underwood is the BEST! Took her 6week summer course for Psyc101 she is my favorite professor. I wish I can have her for all my courses! Since our course was 6 weeks there was a lot of work, but I am sure her longer courses probably had an easier load. Do the work you will pass! Hands down best professor at JJC! Best wishes!
Everyone should have the opportunity to experience a teacher like Margot. She is the most caring and kind person I have ever met. She made the classroom a safe environment and I have never once felt stressed about her class. I took her for Psych 101 and 215 and I wish I could take her for more. She takes you in as her own.
I should have written this review long ago but Margot Underwood is hands down one of the best professors at JJC. She is so compassionate and funny. Everything is outlined very well, it is hard to get lost in her class and even if you did somehow, she would make sure you get back on track. If you are taking psychology classes and see her, sign up!!
I love Margot. She is the best professor I have had. She truly cares about her students and wants us to succeed. I missed class one day and she made sure that I was caught up, had the notes, and made sure everything was okay. She also makes sure that you understand the lesson. She's the best. I highly recommend her.
I loved her! Had her for an online course, but she responded back to my email in like minutes. She always gave extra credit on tests (if you ask her ;) ) and it really seems like she cares about how you do in the class. A lot of reading but that is any psychology class haha. Just try your best and you'll get a good grade trust me.
Margot is unlike any other professor. She truly loves what she does and ensures positive energy towards all her students. She is such a kind and compassionate soul and makes learning fun and stress free. If you miss a class or have a late assignment, she will ALWAYS let you make it up and gives full points. She is so easy to talk to.
Margot is the best teacher I have ever had, she is the most caring and thoughtful person ever. She treats every student fairly and very respectively. She always uses inclusive language, she is always trying improve her language and is very comprehensive and articulate with her words. Please take her class if you get the chance.
Quite literally the best teacher you will ever get at JJC. Margot is such a caring soul and truly cares about her students and their futures. We had a quarter of class devoted to trying to receive and sign up for scholarships. She understands that most of her students are working and going to school, so any deadline was easily move back if needed.
I took her psych lifespan class last semester. Not only is Margo one of the best professors out there, but she is also an amazing human being. She cares for each kid, and she truly wants you to succeed in life.
One of the best caring and supportive professors I've had.
Obvious that she cares for her community from the top down. Material can be difficult to grasp if you're not diligent, but she will definitely be supportive to you. I'm not sure about taking higher level classes w/ her because her lectures aren't very informative, but she's a great character and was the only professor I kept in touch with.
Prof. Underwood is an amazing teacher who makes the class fun and stress-free. Her assignments and tests are straightforward, and she's very understanding. Definitely take this class - unstuckstudy ai is a great study tool too!
I would recommend this professor if you need to take PSYC 101, this class was 10/10 I had 0 complaints. Teacher is understanding about social anxiety and leads the class like this. She is makes her classroom very comfortable and home like. Made this class worth taking and also enjoyable!
Professor Underwood is one of the best, if not THE best professor that JJC offers regarding psychology. She genuinely cares about her students and engages students in her teachings. Tests can be taken online and at home which is amazing. Super easy to understand and homework is a breeze. Highly highly recommend her.
Professor Underwood is a great teacher who is very helpful and caring. I took her for 101 in person and 215 online and got an A in both classes. She assigns 3-4 things a week and offers extra credit. Her exams are not very difficult and she lets you use your book and notes on quizzes.
Professor Underwood is one of the most kind hearted professors at JJC. She genuinely cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. I thought the class was pretty easy, and the professor was always willing to help.
Professor Underwood is the best professor ive ever had. She is so caring and loves teaching. She also is really funny, and relatable. Would 100% take her again for any class if i had the option.
Understanding and fair w/ homework but lectures were glorified hour long rambles. She is friendly and seems to care but as a student who has been in close contact with her for years, she is strikingly unreliable and oversteps constantly. Very difficult person to be forced to level with and rely on outside of a one off class.
She is an amazing professor and an even better human being. She is forgetful at times, but she tries her absolute best and it SHOWS! She definitely has a lot of assignments in the textbook, but she gives a ton of extra credit to make up for it. She is 100% one of my favorite teachers that I have ever had.
Omg I love her! She is the most amazing professor ever! She cares about all of her students inside the classroom & outside of the classroom. She is always available if you are struggling and VERY understanding. She loves all her students so she expects to see your face in her class! She's literally one of my favorites! TAKE HER CLASS!
Truly one of the most impactful teachers that I have come across in my lifetime. She truly has a spark about her that catalyzes true learning. 100% would take her again!!!!
Amazing teacher very kind responds very fast to emails
assignment feedback literally were image memes...
She is extremely kind and understanding, she does give a lot of "busy work" but sometimes does not leave proper feedback. I would take her again because I like the way the schedule is set up and how we do the same thing pretty much every week.
