This professor is great! Very interesting. Makes class worth going to. I enjoyed everything about this class. Tests were fairly easy. Multiple choice and a few short answer. Everything is on a study guide that is given out to prepare in plenty of time for the test. Very nice professor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Would take any course she taught! A+++
Very nice teacher..she was always willing to help and was always on track. Tests were easy as long as you reviewed your notes and essays were also easy. Great teacher for Intro to Psych!
Great class!! Loved it so much! Dr. Lally was so helpful and is willing to help you or write a letter if needed and makes the class fun!
If you attend her lectures, it is impossible to fail! The book is not needed because everything on the test is gone over in class on powerpoint. She answers any and all questions and does interesting activities. She does not post the slides so showing up to class is very important. I would DEF reccomend her. Loved the class.
great teacher! always willing to help and go out of her way to do so. easy to understand information. many activities. write down everthing in the Power Points. It will help you in papers and tests. Im taking another of her classes
She was such a great teacher. Very friendly and always willing to help. Answers questions to the best of her ability and wants her students to succeed. I had her for a 2 1/2 hour class and was never bored. You won't regret taking her.
One of the best teachers ever. If you attend class and listen, you will get an A. Teaches with powerpoints; you don't need the book at all. You just get a good vibe from her.
very good teacher, helpful, and very educated.
Lifespan. She is a great teacher. Her papers are a pain but otherwise the class work is fun. And the tests are relatively easy if you study. Be to class on time and be proactive and class will be great.
Do not buy book. She likes to notes on power point, and her test are short answer and mulitple choice. The good thing is if your a bad test taker and a good writer it cancels out. She has equal amount of test and papers.
I Just finished taking her summer class! Wonderful teahcer! Funny and caring,and will go over things as many times as you need,uses wonderful examples so its easier to understand. Study your power point notes and you'll do great in the class! and always participate..which is easy because she makes the class feel welcomed.
A wonderful teacher. I took Lifespan Development on line. She is the most organized teacher. Her instructions and expectations were made clear and easy to understand. I would definitely take another class with this instructor.
Loved her my first semester at school, made sure to get her again this semester for the next level :-)
All of her tests are based off of her powerpoint notes so don't buy the book. She could be a bit boring sometimes because all she did was lecture for an hour and 15 minutes. Her tests were easy if you studied the material and she graded the papers leniently.
Wonderful teacher,tests are easy based on powerpoint, explains very well, know her material. one thing i don't like she made us buy this expensive book just for the online progrma and we didnt use it whole semester. Also, she don't round up a grade. Sucks. But overall very nice, understanding teacher :)

Great teacher! Always answers questions if you're confused on something. Knows the material. Very interesting class.
Easy class but boring teach. she makes us buy this expensive book didnt use it all. tests are based on powerpoint. NO EXTRA CREDIT sucks she is very strict on her grading and literally hate the research paper she made us do. take her if you are taking only this class
she tries to explain things but sometimes it doesnt work. hate her teaching style she gets so boring. Dont buy book its useless. she is strict on grading no extra credit which sucks. hate her research paper assignment.
Boring teacher. no extra credit. didnt use the text book. strict on grading
Excellent teacher! I had her for Life Span Development, and everything was easy to learn. You don't need to buy the book, because she uses powerpoints for all of her notes and she gives off study guides. As long as you reviewed your notes, the tests are easy. Explained and expanded on everything she taught, as well as answered questions clearly.
toon ONLINE course. I did not use the book and passed with a B. Just log in and do the discussion board assignments. She is by far the MOST organized online instructor Ive ever had. She posts powerpoints that have all the info u need for the exams. And she responds to emails super quick. I recommend her.
Good teacher. She is very cut and dry and you know exactly what is expected of you. I took her intersession course. Great class, although she uses all of the time. I would definitely recommend her!
LifeSpan 220 was great! Shes a wonderful teacher with a big heart..do what is asked and youll achieve in this class :) A+ for Lally..makes class fun and relates to age group of everyone in class
Mrs.Lally one of the most understanding and kind-hearted people that i have ever came across. she is a great teacher and i highly reccomend her to anyone!!!!
I really enjoyed this class! Dr. Lally is very kind and helpful.
Awesome Professor. Top 1% of professors through out the United States. Take her class and learn!
I have her this semester for 222 and 223 and she is by far the best professor I've had at any college. She is caring and goes above and beyond, her lectures are long but the information you learn is always interesting and she always finds a way to make it fun, as well as group activities, you can relate with your peers.hands done A+ for Dr.Lally!
she was great! i loved her class, and she was always very clear as to what she expected in class, and all of the assignments were interesting and fun to do. i would definitely take a class with her again.
She is wonderful! I recommend everyone going into the Psychology field to take her as a teacher. She is very nice and very lenient on grading.
My third class with Dr.Lally! She is an amazing proffesor with so much heart and dedication to psychology and truly wants everyone to understand the concepts as well as the background of psych as well as how its used in todays world. She is a fantastic teacher. I wish I could finish my bachelors degree with her. A+++ for DR.LALLY
Dr. Lally was the BEST teacher I've ever had! The exams we had throughout the semester were super easy, all you have to do is study off of your notes. So you MUST attened all classes. She showed some really good video clips. I learned so much more with her than with my intro to psych. She's fun and easy to talk to. Super friendly!
Great teacher! She knows what she is talking about. Her class isnt boring at all. Her test might be a little tricky but only if you didnt study. If you are stuck on a question in the test she will give you some hints. She is just very caring & always happy.
I Love how she teaches, Dr. Lally is on my list of my best professors hands down!! There's lots of notes. and if you don't study for her test your in trouble but in her lectures she is very clear. High Recommendation
Don't bother going to her office hours for help because she will only tell you that it's in your notes or will ask the same question you just asked her back. Don't bother with the textbook because all the tests you take is based on the PowerPoint notes me the vocabulary sheets she makes you do every week.
I took Abnormal Psychology with Dr. Lally and she was great! Always interesting to listen to and very helpful anytime i had a question. Really enjoyed her class and would take another class she taught given the opportunity!
Dr. Lally is a fantastic professor. She really knows her stuff. Always willing to further explain something if you don't get it. Always uses powerpoints and actually gives you time to take notes; doesn't rush through her lectures. The only time I used the textbook was for vocab assignments. Gives study guides. Practically no homework.
Really helpful and caring teacher! You do have to work hard for a good grade though and really need to study or tests. All this class is, is four test plus final and four essays. So you really need to do good in everything. Overall great teacher and really knows what she is talking about!
She is a very caring teacher. She is very knowledgeable. She does not rush through lecture. Highly recommend this teacher!
Phenomenal professor and human being. Highly recommended.
such a wonderful teacher and person. so passionate about her students and subject, So helpful, nice, and genuinely wanted her students to succeed.
She's one of the best professors I've had. She always goes over upcoming important dates and any questions before the exam. Her paper assignments are not difficult. They were actually fun. Her exams are half short answer and half multiple choice. As long as you take good notes and study this class will be an easy A and fun.
One of the nicest and most professional professors I have ever encountered. She is very enthusiastic about her lectures and does a lot of group work which is fun
so easy and nice. knows her stuff. she's very clear and assignments and papers are easy as well just make sure you go to class cuz tests are based on lectures
By far my favorite teacher ever at clc. Such a fun and exciting class. Always take notes in class because that is what your exams will be one. Such a nice professor and always willing to help you in any way possible. You have to write long papers, but they're super easy, she provides all the questions for you to answer.
Professor Lally is very helpful. She assigns a few papers but they are very easy and she tells you exactly what she expects out of them. As long as you pay attention and take notes in class then you will get a good grade
Dr. Lally is an awesome teacher. She really knows her stuff and is great at explaining difficult concepts to students. The tests are difficult, and you have to work hard to do well, but she makes her expectations clear. Definitely take her classes!
I loved going into Dr. Lally class!! I always hated getting into groups (which she did almost every class) but the things she made us do were fun and interesting so I did not mind one bit. Her test consist of half short answer and half multiple choice but nothing she didn't go over in class or on the study guide. So don't skip class!!
Dr. Lally is probably the sweetest woman I have ever met. She is so inspirational and I would love to take another class with her. She makes lecture very interesting. Be prepared for group discussions and powerpoint notes. These both will help you with exams. She is also a fair grader.
Very good professor. She makes sure you will succeed in the class, all you have to do is ask. There are like 4 papers and 4 tests, no final just the 4th test. She uses PP but she uses them in a way you will learn and not die of boredom. Great professor!
I had Dr. Lally for the Honors course (no textbook required for honors course). She's an amazing prof and person overall. Tests are manageable if you study. Do the readings, pay attention in class, and study; you will be fine. She is extremely open & understanding. She's passionate about her work and always willing to help you. She's incredible.
If you miss her lectures, make sure you see her outside of class. Her tests cover her lectures more than the book. She is more than willing to help if you need it.
Dr. Lally is literally the sweetest woman I've ever met. She's the reason I changed to a psych major. Very passionate about what she does, great lectures, gives GREAT feedback & is there for everyone! Go to class, take notes, participate, study & you'll do great! If you're planning to major in psych, she's definitely a teacher I would recommend!
Dr. Lally was a great teacher. I didn't like her the first week because she comes across as very hard core and old school, but after the first week I grew to love the class. The text book was provided online for free but I never opened it once. I received a B without studying, doing any of the hw, simply showing up to class and taking the tests.
Dr. Lally is a great instructor. I took her 3 week course and passed with an A. She is very clear when presenting the info. she uses pp, videos, and group activities. Had to use book for the papers. If you attend class then you will have everything you need for the test. She is also willing to work with you if you do miss class. Would take again!
She was an amazing teacher! You do have to work in groups sometimes in class but overall she is a great teacher; she uses power points and show videos and is there to help you with anything you need! I RECOMMEND HER! HER CLASS WAS SO INTERESTING AND FUN!
Very nice and always willing to help you. The papers are very easy but the test you will actually have to study for but they are not too hard. She will not give extra credit.
I absolutely love Dr. Lally's class! She is very clear on what students need to know for the tests and what she wants in the 3 papers you have to write. She is very willing to help students outside of class getting them the notes that they missed. Definitely recommend her & would take another psychology class with her!
Dr. Lally easily made the class that I was scared of most for my first semester my favorite class! She took a subject I wasn't interested in and made me love Psychology after just a couple classes. She's easy to talk to about anything and makes everything clear when she assigns the work. If her class is available to you don't miss the opportunity.
Like everyone else stated. Excellent Teacher!!
Such a fun and knowledgeable professor. Her class is really interesting and you don't get bored; plus she makes everyone feel super comfortable. She's really nice and feels like a total mom and is a pretty easy grader so long as you try your hardest. There are 3 papers and 5 exams; the papers are easy but the exams you definitely have to study for.
Dr Lallys class is one of my favorite classes. Ive been out of school for over 8 years now and I was very nervous about taking this class because people have always said how tough this class is. I got so lucky to have a great professor who cares about her class. She makes her classes interesting and is always engaging her students.
Dr. Lally was a wonderful instructor to have, there wasn't a day where I did not want to come to class. Her notes are very straightforward and she will always lend a helping hand. She makes it very difficult to not do well in her class. I highly suggest taking her class.
If you have the chance to, I would HIGHLY suggest taking one of her classes. She transmits information in a way that makes learning fun, and even difficult topics are better understood because of her teaching method. She makes everyone in the class super comfortable - despite hating public speaking, I'm not worried about the presentation at all.
<3 take her she is so amazing and sweet (and very helpful!)
Amazing prof. Had her for intercession. Tests are super easy, just use study guide. Papers are easy A's, just follow the criteria. Does partner work a lot, but is super sweet. Explains everything really well, and lecture is what will be on the test. Highly recommend her!
Gives great lectures
Dr. Lally really cares about her students inside and outside of her class. Her lectures are straightforward and she will always make sure everyone understands the material before moving forward. The best psych teacher Ive had!
This was my first online class so I was a bit nervous, but my second consecutive semester with Dr Lally and I just cant say enough of how an amazing instructor she is. Her lectures are very intriguing, and her tests are clear cut there will never be surprises what she teaches in class will be on the test. I would definitely recommend taking her!
Dr. Lally was great! She is so understanding and really makes sure you understand the topic before moving on. I took her for my first honors class at CLC and it was definitely intense, but that's to be expected. I felt like I learned a lot and always felt well prepared for tests and projects. She responds to emails quickly if you have any questions
Dr. Lally is a very engaging professor. I was personally never bored during class, and she makes sure that students participate. Class-time has a very comfortable feel to it, however, so participating didn't feel scary. I took her Honors course, so the work was challenging, but if you put in the effort you can get the grades and learn a lot!
Dr. Lally was amazing. Inspirational and is always willing to give you a helping hand when you need it. She makes her office hours available for anything. A great person to go to for advice as well! Shes literally amazing. Lectures are phenomenal too. He tests are everything on the lectures so make sure you are paying attention!!
I took her Honors Psychology class and I barely got out with an A-. Be ready to read, study, and do hand written exams. She is also a little bit unclear about her expectations and not totally eager to help students who come to her office. Be ready to be an independent learner and interpreter when coming to reading her directions.
Dr. Lally is very nice and easy to reach. Syllabus is very clear on what is expected. She keeps you interacted with the rest of your online class mates weekly for dicussion which is nice. Something you don't see in a online class but I loved it I actually felt like I was part of a class! I definitely recommend her
Her three-week intersession course was the most intensive course I have ever taken. but her lectures were attention-grabbing and the test were all fairly similar to one another. I managed to get an A.
She's a really great teacher, though I was intimidated at first. While later in the semester I could take tests only studying my lecture notes and perusing the textbook in the disorders I was still confused on, the first few weeks were tough since it really required you to read the textbook. But don't buy it! She will give you a code. Never skip!
SHES AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING! She is the reason I was inspired to become a psychology major. You cannot leave CLC without taking a cold with her. I got the opportunity to be her researcher and she was the best mentor Ive ever had.
Dr. Lally was an incredibly teacher, as I had her for Honors Intro to Psychology. She was extremely well at connecting the material learned to real life, and great at giving feedback as soon as possible. Almost all of the heavy assignments were group projects, and the tests did cover all topics covered but after the first one, you get used to them.
Dr. Lally is always there for you when you need her. She makes sure you are doing well in your work and gives you many resources to write your papers. Her class was a bit loaded, but it was an honors class. I like how she lectures and I would take another psych class with her for sure. Make sure to review her powerpoints for the exams!
Dr. Lally is very knowledgeable in psychology. I took her for Brain and Behavior and really enjoyed the classes. She does many of activities to mix it up so honestly just show up for class because it's a good time. The exams are not very easy, but they are over everything you do in class so make sure you pay attention!
Dr. Lally is an expert in her field. I really enjoyed her class and the discussions. I took a 3 week intercession and though it was intense, she was super supportive and gave clear expectations. If you apply yourself you will do well. She is a great teacher and it was a fascinating subject.
Dr. Martha Lally was an amazing instructor, I took it over the summer and it was alot of reading but she provides the etextbook which I printed because I need to physically read and highlight important information. I enjoyed how the class interacted weekly with discussions but the paper write was intense 8 page paper nonetheless I did amazing.
Dr. Lally is amazing. She is does such a good job on zoom as we transitioned out of the classroom. There is a lot of material for each test, but what is expected of a student is clear. Many of the things she taught were valuable for moving to a University, like APA style, rubrics, and online discussions. Anyone taking her classes will learn a ton
Shes incredible. So professional and knowledgeable. Study the power points and do the article readings !
Lally was a great professor. I would say you should take her class it's and easy pass if you do all the work. She gives back amazing feedback to your discussion post each week. If you do the work it is a easy pass for her class. Amazing lecture and a lot of reading from the textbook. But it isn't hard at all. Would take her again if I had to!
Professor Lally was an amazing teacher. I learned so much from her and she was very interactive with students which made the class more interesting. She was very thorough with requirements and always offered help. Not too many assignments but they were ones that enhanced learning the material and she always left comments on assignments as well.
I'm coming back to rate Prof Lally two years after I took her class. Prof. Lally was okay. She gives great lectures, but an incredible amount of homework. She gives a bit too much information for intro to psych, that would be better suited for an upper level class. Lots of homework. Very long tests on very specific things.
Wonderful teacher. Lally is very caring and is super knowledgeable. Learning something in her class is easy !
I have taken two of Dr. Lally's psychology classes, intro & abnormal psychology. She is always available & wants to see her students succeed. One of the papers that we had to do for this class was a movie review on a mental disorder and it was engaging. Another assignment is an APA style paper, which i've never done, but she guides you through it.
She is really helpful and available even after class. She is really good at explaining stuff thoroughly as well.
Great teacher, she makes her expectations very clear and provides many case studies during class, along with other in class activities. It made the class more interesting than other zoom courses I have taken. She grades everything quickly and always gives feedback on papers. One of the best prof at CLC by far! Take her class, you won't regret it!
Absolutely amazing prof. Provides study guides for exams, there are no quizzes. I took her Honors PSY 101 and she def works with her students to make sure they understand the material. Lectures aren't boring, will not drop you if you miss class, but it WILL affect your grade. She's super sweet and always worries about her students in a good way :)
Dr. Lally is the best CLC professor I've had! I've had her for 2 different classes; lifespan development and abnormal. She explains really well and in depth. The way she teaches is extremely engaging, and she gives great feedback on papers. In Zoom class, she does prefer people to have their camera on, but other than that, she's great even online.
I took Lally twice, she is very lecture heavy, you will write a few papers and take a few tests. She is probably the most difficult professor I've had, but she is extremely helpful, friendly, and always available. Her classes are a little more challenging but they will provide you with a lot of information and prepare you for the future.
Dr. Lally was a great professor. Grading is clear in the syllabus. She is super helpful and responds to emails very quickly. She provides in-depth feedback as well. In her modules, she has numerous videos and resources to support learning. Added bonus - the textbook is written by her AND free!
Dr. Lally is such an amazing instructor. Her lectures are so engaging and the way she teaches inspires us and makes us even more interested on the topic. It is clear that she loves what she does, and this is one of the things that makes her classes excellent! She is caring and understanding, one of the best psych instructors!
I would be shocked if anybody says they've had a negative interaction with dr Lally she radiants joy and rainbows. This women is a saint. Lots of vocab but the homework is so easy. Her lectures are amazing there is a mixture of her talking, class discussions, little papers to do, videos & more I was always engaged its hard not to be in her class
The sweetest professor ever !! She cares about her students not just academically but she cares about them as a person, loved all her lectures and always there to help and provide resources.
Extremely tough grader and very to the point, but she gives great feedback and her material is easy to understand. She's a great professor - you just have to work hard to earn your grade.
I have complicated feelings: Dr Lally is very nice and helpful but she is quite the tough trader and there's no extra credit what so ever so don't take her class unless your serious about it. She has exam terminologies which is very helpful USE THEM. One con is that she's very loud.
Lots of papers, but a fair grader. Attendance matters a lot to her, but she's a great lecturer and her class is very interesting.
A fantastic professor and an excellent class!
Super sweet and easy going. Favorite professor yet ! Everything she presents helps or is on the test, just make sure to take notes.
