If you're expecting her to spoon feed you the information, then you probably don't want to take her. You get back as much as you put in. If you read the chapter before her lectures, then you will understand what she is talking about. There are no tricks to her tests, but you must be a critical reader or you will miss the information.

Reading and understanding the book is a must, because she doesn't lecture. All you do in class is discuss the stuff (student participation), group work, or watch old boring videos. Test taken on Blackboard. Study guides provided, test questions come from them. Grades papers easily and fair. A bit loud and maybe strange at times, but overall nice.

This lady is very strange. She tries to train the class with a dog clicker whenever someone answers right. Whenever someone would come in late she would try to embarrass them. I did not like her at all. She has a few favorites in the class, and she is mostly b*tchy towards everyone else. And she is definately not hot, she's like 50.

If you like psychology and want to really learn it, take a different prof. If you want to discuss ideas and parts of psychology, take Conti. She is energetic, knows her stuff, and is fun. But the class is unstructured, and with all the psych classes I have taken, I learned the least here. She has favorite students but overall is nice to everyone.
