I took Psy 201,202, and 203 with Marlene. She is an absolutely wonderful teacher. I highly recommend her.

Good teacher. Not too hard. Good information. Cheery for the most part.

great teacher! watch out for the gaza strip if she brings it up, just stay quiet. it may sound creepy but she auctually cares about her students and the stresses they face in other classes, very compassionate

This class was a challenge but not hard. We had fun and learned quite a bit. She gave a good mixture of lecture, homework, and in-class participation.

I was shocked to see negative comments about Marlene. I found her to be very professional and knowledeable. If you can only regurgitate what is in the textbook instead of using your head, you might have a hard time. She requires her students to think objectivly and criticaly. As all qualtiy teachers should.

Good teacher. Lectures get a little boring though. She's really nice. Study the CD rom for tests!!!

She is very dedicated to her subject and quite knowledgeable. Lectures are interesting and informative. Tests are multiple choice but actually fairly difficult. Does not understand sarcasm or irony, so don't even try. Lots of reading from textbook, group projects and short writing assignments. Need good public speaking skills.

She did a fantastic job. Pay attention, read, and in my opinion you can't fail

Eid is a WONDERFUL teacher! Her lectures are interesting and her tests arent that hard at all. Just read, go to class and you wont fail!

Marlene is a very good instructor and her tests and assignments are easy if you study and do your work. She is so interesting to listen to and makes you feel welcome to be in class.

Marlene is a great teacher - very knowledgeable about her subject and very clear in lectures. She is fair in grading and interesting to listen to. She can be moody,but most of the time is very kind to everyone. Definitely recommend her for any psyc. class!

Very good teacher - lectures are clear and interesting - fair grader who uses many different techniques to keep students engaged.

EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!! GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!

The class is challenging, like it should be, but she is very straight forward and as long as you attend and do the work, you can do well. She also explains the concepts rather than reading straight out of the book.

Excellent! Has extensive background in Psychology, very focused on culture and diversity. She is still excited about Psychology, which is nice for a student. Very, very highly recommended. If you can't get in her class, I'd put Psych off until you can. She is THAT good.

very good teacher, has a amazing background in psychology, with lots of knoweldge, great PROF! :)

Marlene is my favorite instructor at PCC. I had two courses with her and I wish I could've taken more!! I actually switched from being an English major to majoring in Psychology because of her. She is a phenomenal teacher, and a truly amazing individual. I highly reccommend her!!

Very intense woman. Great class and if you do what you're supposed to, you'll likely have an "A"

Loved this teacher. Really knew what she was talking about and had great relaxed classes where you can learn a thing or two. A must take if you're into psychology.

Class was up and down. Never really knew what was going on until class was almost over.

She is very intelligent women who knows her stuff. All she asks is for you to read the chapter before class. She elaborates upon the text in to real life situations. She has many group activity's that go with each chapter. There is one group present ion, two papers and three Exams. Sounds like alot, but its so interactive. I suggest her :)

Excellent teacher! While its up to you to pass the tests and read the extremely boring chapters, if you ever fall behind, she'll help you out. While it may not seem like it at first, it is actually very easy to get an A in the class. It is definitely worth having Psych with her!

She is an outstanding teacher, I will be taking the next sequence with her. If you are looking for more than a psych instructor... like a true teacher, she is it! I did not hardly have to use my book, because she is so thorough.

Excellent teaching style, always willing to answer questions that you have

The class is difficult but if you show up and pay attention you can get an A. I was 1 of 3 students who did get an A and I honestly didn't try that hard. Just do the work and ask questions if you get confused. She is willing to help. Also, be willing to do the work. Those who complained were those who did minimal work and expected to get an A.

the whole class seemed to hate her but i thought she was a pretty good teacher. she really knows her stuff and taught it well. she used videos, worksheets,groupwork, and real life examples in her lectures which i found to be helpful.

I love this professor!

This is not an easy A class...and it shouldn't be. But if you do the work, you get the A. Great prof, interesting assignments, you learn a lot.

Not an easy class but i got an A. She's really great at teaching and really knows her stuff, but her assignments were confusing and her exams were hard. There's 3 exams,multiple choice, 30 questions, so if you missed more than 3 then you dont get an A. she does offer extra credit though so thats why i got my A.

Really wonderful- not an easy A class but totally fantastic. Readings are due first class and then discussion follows, she has some really great input with her diverse background. I think people who don't know her can see her being rude but she isn't-I think that is just a bit of a culture barrier. She cares and if you do the work its a great class

She is one of the best teachers at PCC. This class was so fun, interesting, and if you do keep up with the reading do the work their is no reason why you shouldn't get an A! She is so sweet! She compliments on your hard work constantly!

For all you cry babies out there don't plan going to a four year school because all you will do is a lot of reading and writing very long papers. Marlene is very understanding I have a learning disability and when I wasn't doing the paper right Marlene gave me help I went from 5, 7's to 9, 10's on my papers and passed the class with a B.

I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER! She is one of my favorite instructor ever. At first you may think she comes off a little "rude", but she really is anything but! She is wildly intelligent, really good with not assigning too much work, and just makes the subject very interesting! You won't regret this class, and if you do your best you'll score well!

She is an amazing teacher, I found the class very entertaining and I am excited for taking another class with her this term

Great teacher!! She is very knowledgeable and SO nice! This class is not difficult as long as you listen and do the reading. The textbook is very interesting as well :D

Great teacher. She has an accent, so make sure you can understand her. Otherwise, she's awesome

Thick accent, but is understandable. LOTS of group activity in class. Requires CONNECT (online program included with textbook) but assignments online always help with the chapter tests. Tests are 20 multiple choice with bonus essay question worth up to +20% on test grade (and you can get over a 100%). No "final test" (it's over the last chapters)

Wonderful instructor! Highly recommended!

Marlene is an excellent teacher. She highlights diversity in psychology and encourages discussion and comments during lectures. She gives the questions for the test ahead of time and chooses 1 question per section. Forewarning: Be prepared to read out of the text book on your own time

Her exams are average as long as you read the book and attend class you'll do fine! *take note: read the book, do online assignments ahead of time so that you'll practice what you have read and the online assignments are unlimited for retakes. Her example's are close to the exam questions. Awesome teacher and a FUN class.. you MUST do your part tho

She is a very nice lady, but her assignments are not clear when it comes to what she wants. It's a good idea to ask her for an example otherwise forget it. Her tests are hard to study for, but they're actually pretty easy tests. It's a good idea to take a lot of notes and when she gives you practice questions, to read over the chapters again.

She is a great instructor who incorporates class activities that will imply great examples for your exams. Reading the text ahead of time are beneficial to understanding the class lectures. She is somewhat quick at responding to your e-mails. Exams are "short" essay in which she will hand out the questions a week in advance of the exam date.

I grew to like Marlene very much. She knows exactly what shes talking about and loves when you ask questions. In fact, the more questions you ask, the more interesting the lecture will become. Only downside lots of reading. If you do the weekly chapter Qs correctly they should take a couple hours but then you wont need to study as much.

Marlene was great. She does assign homework so be ready for that, but really it just helps prepare you for the exams. She uses power point presentations most of the time but also gives group activities and makes the class very interactive. She knows the subject matter extremely well and you can tell she loves the subject.

shes great. if you just do the assigned work and show up to class you get at least a b. I've taken her twice, one for 201 and another for 202. oh and wait to get an online book, it is cheaper and you hardly ever use the physical book because half the homework is online. trust me.

Marlene is passionate about what she teaches, and it definitely shows through. I was fully engaged the entire term and never wanted to miss a lecture.

She is a great teacher and she is very patient and kind to people. I would definitely recommend her and she does not have heavy accent. English is my second language and I was worried about accent and it was not a problem at all. I got a lot from this class. There were quizzes every week which was tiring but helpful. I like the book and connection.

This class was an easy A. There were online assignments due each week, along with a quiz in class (but we went over the answers in class beforehand). Marlene definitely cares about psychology and knew what she was talking about. For the most part it was an interesting class, just lots of reading.

You read a chapter off the book every week. She gives you 4-5 questions as homework based on what you read, due every Thursday. Online quizzes every Saturday based on each chapter. Her lectures are very informative and she explains everything in detail for you to understand the material.

Marlene is a great professor. Shes been very helpful in and outside of class. Whats covered in class will help with assigned homework. The exams arent challenging, the homework was not bad at all, and neither were the online assignments. Very kind and patient person.

Professor Eid was a good teacher with a very clear, fair, and easy grading criteria. My only complaint is that her lectures are extremely dry and can run on. If you are a visual or kinesthetic learner you may not find her to be as good of a fit for you, but overall her class is extremely manageable and easy.

Marlene is amazing she is funny and super nice, I enjoyed this class a lot and look forward to taking the second half from her in the Fall

I took Marlene for both 201 and 202 and she was a great instructor. Her grading criteria was clear, homework was super easy, quizzes were always a question from the homework, exams were short and simple but you do have to study! Not a lot but its necessary if you want a good grade. Shes understanding and seems like she cares about her students.

Great Professor. My PSY201 class was lecture based with weekly homework that was time consuming, but easy to accomplish. Layout is simple and easy to follow. If you pay attention and do the homework you'll get an A. Professor Eid is very passionate and knowledgeable about what she teaches and is interesting to listen to. I absolutely recommend her

GREAT Professor. So easy. I HIGHLY recommend you take it ONLINE. No tests, only group discussions about a 30 min. video, narrative-style 1 pg. HW assignments (30 minutes), and textbook CONNECT assignments every week (50 minutes). I didn't even read the textbook. Buy it online and you can do keyword searches. I got 100% on almost every assignment.

She was an all around good teacher who cared about your participation and understanding of the material above all else. She is a pretty picky grader, though, and will call you out if she feels like youre not applying yourself. The outline of the class is clear. The course material quizzes are easy and you get 100% as long as you finish on time.

Marlene, although a Karen at times, is a good psychology professor. She utilizes the publisher's slides and expects you to complete the CONNECT assignment the weekend before lecture. I got 90+ on most assignments. Just make sure you ask her what *specifically* she is looking for you to answer on the prompts, because sometimes they can lack info.

Best teacher I've ever had! Very passionate about the topic she is teaching, as well as teaches you useful life skills. You can get a good grade in her class as long as she can tell you understand the topic in your response.

Marlene is truly genuine and cares for all of her students! Class felt like a therapy group where we discussed the homework, discussions, and personal stories related to the topics. It was freeing! Be prepared to listen. HW is textbook heavy! Weekly discussions and questions, once you get the flow of due dates the class is "easy".

I liked Marlene's class but a lot of the info felt very dated (video series was from the 1990s). VERY particular about what you answer in the homework discussions so make sure you read carefully and answer specifically. Lots of reading but once you get the rhythm it's a good flow. I did learn quite a bit but wouldn't take her again

English is not her first language and some of the rubrics for the homework wasn't 100% clear occasionally. You have to participate and show up to each class because you are graded some based on class participation. Uses Achieve for textbook homework assignments but its literally read the textbook and then don't give up on those and you'll get 100%.

English isn't her first language so the lecture notes aren't perfect, just expect to learn all info from the textbook. She also is an easy grader so you don't have to put in a lot of work for the discussion posts.
