She likes to lecture but she curves the tests. You only have to take 3 out of 4 tests, if you have an A average or are happy with your grade.
Great person, very fair in everything, also very helpful. Boring at times, but you can tell she really does enjoy teaching. She knows her stuff, and that's all that matters. Easy grader (wahoo!)
Just started but already know how talented she is at teaching. Incredibly articulate. I'm buying lunch in a week or two!
She is one of those rare teachers who will go a million miles out of her way for you. She has a lot of experience in her field and her stories are really cool. She's not a hard grader and you watch a lot of movies.
Definatley one of the greatest teachers ever. If you are taking a psych class definatley try to get in her class. You will love it.
Amazing Class...If you have to take a Psychology class take her. Classes fly by. She makes the class interesting and you learn a lot. Brilliant Professor.
Great instructor. Knows her stuff and communicates well. Very passionate about her work and it shows through her classes. I got an A in her class simply because the material was enjoyable. Take her if you can.
What a nice lady. Willing to help anyone who needs it. Despises cheating as she should and occasionally takes attendance. Study for the tests and you'll do fine. She's super easy.
She is a decent teacher. She gives out a lot of extra credit assignments that would raise your grade up. As long as you can do well in both the mid term and final, her class is not to bad.
She is my absolute favorite professor ever. I was unsure about a major, and after taking her class I know I want to do psychology. Her tests arent easy, but who's are? You have to do a fair share of reading. Best part is she, FEEDS us! Great Professor
One of the best teachers I've ever had, she's so easy to listen to and understand, and she so funny!
She is awesome! So willing to help you out in every way possible. Definate A. No homework. A few papers. Easy Grader.
Almost as easy as she is nice-a very easy grader and you never have to take notes. She brings in food doesn't care if you sleep right in front of her-great teacher
Nice lady, interesting and easy class. Worth it to take her.
Awesome teacher! She's so nice and extremely helpful. She made the class fun and tells amusing stories to make her points clearer. She also really cares about her students and is really laid-back. Take her class if you can.
She was one of the best teachers I had here. She shows a willingness to share her vast wealth of knowledge to her entire class. She is extremely devoted to her classes and especially to her students. Did I mention that she's a people person?
Her tests scarred the buhjesus out of me but she's a fairly lenient grader and a VERY nice lady. As long as you don't miss more than 3 classes you'll have no trouble getting an A, even though her tests are scary. She's REALLY helpful too and open to everyones comments. She's an excellent teacher
EASY CLASS.If everyone does bad on the test she will blame herself and grade easy.It killed me to sit thru such a BS class,but I got an A. I wont take her for PSY II
She's the best teacher I've had at LaSalle,makes the class so much more interesting because of her teaching style..plus she's a very nice lady, a real people person unlike some of the f*ing teachers at LaSalle.
Probaly one of the best teachers i had at LaSalle, knows what she is talking about and really helps people out.

She is nice, but she drones in a monotone that puts me to sleep. She has a tendency to change subjects in the middle of a sentence. I find myself nodding off in her class often, since there is not a lot she does to keep it interesting.
Easy Class. Very helpful. If you do bad on a test she lets you make corrections to pull up the grade.
Shes real easy but class is boring. You watch a lot of movies and she doesnt really care if you sleep, everyone does. Shes a sweet lady
the class was easy, simply because we really didn't do anything except watch movies. but she as a teacher- was terrible. she knows all of the information, and could explain it to you, but she just never gets around to it.. so if you actually want to learn something, take a different teacher. if you want an easy "nothing" class- take her.

Good teacher, teaches you some relaxationmethods towards the end of the semester which had helped me to to better in school
shes bores you to death... and always talks about her own experiences and patients, then gives you a study guide the day before to test you on things she hasnt gone over...
No Comments
One of the kindest people you'll ever meet.
Her class was very easy!!!! There wasn't any in class work. She mostly talks but what she talks about is mostly her own stories about her patients...but they all tend to be very interesting...Over all the class was easy!!! It gave me time to do other classes schoolwork like essays and stuff...
Best Psy teacher you'll ever have. Very easy and just talks in class. Very Nice too and will help you with anything. Easy A
Awesome.
she is so nice. her class is interesting and she is alway helpful. she really cares about her students and is passionate about her work
Best teacher ever. Take her intro to psych class. Easy A. Nicest teacher you'll ever have, and that is not an exageration.
Mary Ellen is a great teacher! she really cares and wants her students to do well. You don't need the text book for class but will definitly need it for studying...doesnt give much notes so you have to read the text for the exams. really easy class...show her that you take it seriously and you'll be fine. definitly take her if you have the chance!
THE nicest person you will ever meet!! she even brings in snacks...i loved her class..if you dont get an A you really shouldnt be in college...if i cud i wud take her again!
Very nice woman. Gives students an outline of what will be on the midterm & final. Likes to talk a lot and show some movies. Easy A.
Great professor. Really cares about her students. The textbook was used for studying for the midterm and final. She is very clear about the information too. I loved her class.
BEST Professor for Psych, Nicest teacher you'll ever meet. As long as you take notes and read for the midterm and final you should be fine. Beware her movies are a bore but she makes up for it. Loved her class got an A.
nicest lady you will ever meet. has a perminant smile on her face. i get the impression she would feel bad giving you a bad grade. i didnt even study for the final and i got an A. classes are very boring and youll fall asleep but i highly recommend her
Ms. M was one of the best teachers a freshmen could have. She amde you feel welcomed and help you understand not only her subject, but also how to deal with college in genreal.
Take her.. developmental Psych with her was a piece of cake... hard work is needed but. This teacher is wonderful and she knows her stuff. I passed the class with flying colors.. text used once in a blue! Her permanent smile will make you smile. She never forgets a face.
Great professor! The class is easy if you follow the study guide and read the book.
this lady is super nice. great class to take during the summer
I skipped her class on my birthday and accidentally ran into her while walking to my friend's dorm an hour later. Thought she would be mad, but she wished me a happy birthday and didn't mind at all. The sweetest lady on the planet. Never gives bad grades, if you show some interest or effort. I took her class years ago, and she still remembers me.
So knowledgeable and smart. Very interesting and funny!
Great professor, learned a lot, would highly recommend her.
This professor is totally cool she is very knowledgable about her craft. She is very intelligent makes you feel confident. I would take her for every one of my courses if I could. Tok hr during the summer got an A my first in college extremely excited.
Great professor. Very knowledgeable, you will learn in her class. Always available to help. Hope to take her again.
This is the best professor in the school. She is extremely helpful and cares about all her students. Only two tests throughout the year and they are easy to pass. She makes it possible for any student to succeed. The topics discussed in her class are very useful and also interesting. I could not ask for a better professor.
She is not out to get anyone. She genuinely wants you to succeed. Gives you room to learn instead of many distracting homework that may be junk, like others do. All learning styles can succeed in her class. I was able to spend more time reading the good textbook and getting to know something for myself. Final grade, ?A.?
Cont?d: She was too kind to give me her textbook until mine arrived, without fear of me taking it. She has no prejudices; many members of her class were minorities. Respects students. Participate a lot, do all the class work which she gives you more time to complete. Final grade, ?A.?
Definitely get this teacher if you can. Extremely nice, wants you to do well. Only need to take three tests and no papers. If you study the material hard you should be able to get a fairly easy A
She is definitely my favorite teacher in the psych department. She is also my advisor. The class is not hard just a lot of information you need to know, just read the textbook, and do chapter outlines. We had a Midterm and Final, and a child study paper due at the end of the year. Proud of my A in this class
Dr. McMonigle is such a sweetheart. She is a very intelligent woman yet as the same very modest. She gave out treats and is always willing to help. Her exams require studying like all courses do. The textbook wasn't used a lot. She allowed the students to have their space and speak whenever they are comfortable. Don't chatter or sleep in her class.
Great teacher! Multiple choice test and 3 essay questions but provides a study guide and tells you whats on the test. We watched videos A LOT in her class, she sometimes gets off topic. She is very helpful, and fair with grading. If you study and read the textbooks pgs she tells you, you will get an A. Extra credit is also avaible. Intelligent lady
One of my favorite teachers at LaSalle! Very helpful, and always willing to help. Watch alot of videos and movies! I recommend to come to class because you never know when you may miss notes. Multiple choice test, and 3 essay questions on test. Gives study guides for every test to help you prepare! Take her class!!
She is amazing! I hsd her this semester and am taking her again next semester. She talks on and on but the things she says are interesting. She is a sweetheart and explains everything. We watched a ton of youtube vidoes and if you jshow her respect she will respect you back and your grade will reflect. I seriously recomend her.
Caring, committed and simply THE Best teacher I've ever had in 22 years of education.
clever,nice,funny
Read below "GOOD TEACHER!"
She is the best teacher I have ever had. She is very empathetic and wants her students to pass, I wish I could take her again. She wants to be there for her students in and out of the class room. She has a weird sense of humor but thinks she is funny so just laugh to make her smile. She is very inspired by her students and wants everyone to succeed
She is the nicest women, she is very clear on material, and generally cares about her students. Her tests were easy, but you do have to study. She gives a general study guide for each exam. You do not have a final, only a midterm. Attendance is mandatory, and her lecture class is kinda boring, but not terrible. I strongly recommend taking her class
This is the most amazing professor i have ever had , she is the most nicest, coolest, help fullest professor ever. I had went through some personally things and she helped me not only academically but personally as well. I really appreciate her as a person and a professor
The best teacher I've had thus far. She genuinely cares about her students. . You have to outline chapters assigned and Her mid term and final are not too hard if you pay attention and attend class. She is wiling to help you if you have any issues. You have one child study paper due at the end of the semester. No electronics in her class!
Basically a modern day saint and wonderful person. Her kindness motivates you to do well in the class. She takes the time to explain concepts thoroughly and gives a wide range of examples. If you take intro to psych and don't plan to pursue psychology any further, concepts are basic enough that internet resources can replace the $200 textbook
very helpful, is always so nice and makes sure to always ask how everyone is doing. she is a great teacher and i learned a lot from here and would defiantly take her again
Intro to Psy, really interesting and little to no textbook use if I am remembering correctly. Developmental, textbook is a must have, very good class. She is a long lecturer but, is very interesting and keeps you engaged. She is very kind and respectful. Would recommend her for any psych class she teaches. -Jr. Psy Major
Dr. McMonigle is Great. She is one of the best professors I've had at La Salle. She wants you to do well and understand the material, so expect to outline each assigned chapter to be turned in. If you study and do your outlines, there is no way you can fail her class. Midterms and finals are not hard. The class itself was rather interesting.
The best! You don't need to write a study paper due at the end of the semester. No electronics in her class! and I really mean none! Such a nice person and instructor!! Would take her again million times !!
MEM is amazing and will do everything in her power for you to pass the class. Study your notes and read the textbook and youll past the tests. I got 100s on every single test, because she prepares you and only tests you on info she taught.
McMonigle is is a very sweet lady. She brought in food on many occasions. She wants you to succeed in the class, and you will as long as you study for the exams.
Incredible teacher and incredible class! Dr. McMonigle not only teaches you a lot about the study of psychology but just life in general. I found myself applying what I learned in her PSY 155 class to everyday situations. No writing or out of class assignments--all grades come from her tests which are exactly like the study guide!
Professor McMonigle is amazing. She is the sweetest professor I have ever had. Very understanding and will work with you. There wasn't much to do in this class besides read chapters and write summaries. There were two big papers: a reflection paper and an essay. She's an easy A.
I loved every minute of Professor McMonigle's class! She is so sweet and genuinely cares about her students. I wish I could take her again next semester. Definitely take her class!
MEM is a great professor who gives study guides for the midterm and final exams. Also, she is very kind and understanding. Also, for the final exam, there is 20 multiple choice and three essay questions. Overall, she is good teacher.
Extremely sweet, and understanding. Always offers help.
I personally love McMonigle but hated her class. I found her constantly rambling on and repeating herself. When it came to test time, I had to sit and teach myself from the textbook. Class is a constant flow of her lecturing and watching videos. She wants you to do well but doesn't actually help you accomplish that
Gives great lectures and is very knowledgeable in the subject. Cares about students.
Take if you want to fail. Class is all lectures which get extremely boring, barely any notes just all talking. Your grade will be based off of a couple exams only nothing else so you will fail if you don't do well on the exams.
Dr. McMonigle is one of the most helpful teachers at La Salle. I learned so much from her. I hope I can take her for another course.
