She used to work as a councilor and at the TLC lab so she is very open to student's questions/concerns etc. Personally I thought she was fairly easy as well; at least if you keep track of the (about weekly) homework and study when you need to.

She is really sweet & funny. She tries to relate the lessons to your everyday life but you have to do a lot of studying on your own for the tests as she only teaches a small portion. She says she doesn't offer EC "cuz it is a 230 class" but she gives 5 points of it on every test & she never cancels class either. Take her you'll love her!

Professor LaBrie is awesome! I took her Human Sexuality class (PSYCH 230) this semester and she nailed it. Classes were clear and concise, she made the lectures interesting and she knows her topic. She is helpful and sets her students up for exams. You need to read the book to pass exams and take your own notes and only have one paper to write!

PSYCH230 was absolutely fascinating. Prof. LaBrie is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. This class is not an "Easy A" but earning an A is possible if you keep up with the few homework assignments, don't miss class, participate and actually study for the tests. There is one essay, but it's doable. I would definitely take LaBrie again.
