This woman is crazy. She has a very intimidating and sarcastic attitude. She's not clear at all in her class especially on her assignments. She loves to tell others how they should do things and likes for you to tell your personal business. I recommend that you DO NOT take her class because it is absolute torture.

All tests are take home, she likes to play mind games with her students. Plays out like an ****s anonymous meeting. This class can become a severe annoyance. Work is easy, but lots of it. You will learn most from reading the chapter. In class discussions are not very helpful. Overall, boring. Just not that much to say on the subject matter

She is CRAZY!!!!!! She gives work and expects it complete without instructions on how to do it and wants it done the next time the class meets. She expects students to come to her for their grades and if they don't then she takes it as a signal that they don't care how they are doing....the people that didn't ask...FAILED!

Knows what she is talking about, however, overwhelms students with projects toward the end when she should have given some of them at the beginning. Often forgets whether or not she has explained a project. We spend the whole class talking about random things. Im glad we dont have bored work though.

she grades on class participation. had a's on every take home test, 98 on final (summary of every chapter), had to pick a "favorite color", had to tell what type parents I had, etc. or else another formal essay will be written. Too interested in our personal lives. I did not sign up to be psyco evaluated. I earned a B. do not take her class.

She is by far one of the most influential teachers I have come across.

She is more as a therapist than a teacher. She taught things very clear and easy ways to understand them. She had the best answer and advice for every situation. She deserves to be promoted and a raise.

We had a lot of assignments. Before finishing one assignment, there was another being introduced to us. I passed because I worked hard, but I won't be taking her again. The work load was stressful. I will say that you will enjoy the class discussions and if you're shy, you won't be by the end of her class.

Not a good professor to choose if you have anxiety. Lots of discussions and group activities; and she will call you out for being quiet/shy. She also tended to get irritated if people didnt want to participate. Other than that, the classwork was okay and easy to understand.

Curious how any student with even a mediocre work ethic could give D a low rating. If she calls out a student, which is rare, that's because the student isn't participating or is in some way behaving inappropriately. By the end of the term, most shy students are comfortable in the class and are expressing themselves freely - enjoying the course!

Took her 8 week in-person class. She was fair in the amount of work she gave in the 8 weeks. Instead of fitting 15 weeks into an 8 week period she cut out some of the assignments to be fair. I wasn't sure about her class in the beginning, but if you show up, participate and do the work then you will definitely get a good grade.

Professor Dougharty is an assertive teacher. Most work you'll do is online assignments and class participation. Do online assignments as soon as possible. During class participation, be loud enough because she may have a difficult time hearing. Although she may sound tense and is from the old generation, she is caring. That is about it.

Mrs. Dougharty was okay in my opinion; I took a 9-week course class on online General Psychology and the workload you have to do is more than usual. I personally did not struggle, but it is a lot of work you have to submit multiple times a week. The grading criteria she uses is a bit extreme in my thoughts, but I still managed to keep it above a A.

This professor is a toss up. Her lessons are thorough and the PowerPoints make everything clear for the tests but most assignments don't relate to the test. Her grading criteria and expectations are not clear at all. You can follow the directions exactly and still get points off with no explanation as to why. She is also not tech savvy.
