This instructor does not know how to teach hence her having students make flash cards every night, they will take away from your actual study time. Her idea of group work is ridicuous, it's her lazy way of passing the lecture time. She's one of those instructors who thinks you're not taking any other classes and gives you too much.

This woman is crazy! She does not lecture. She basically just gives you a few chapters to read and study on your own.

Homework is assigned every week, do it and you'll know what the test is like. Her class is super simple and she gives you plenty of study before a test.

She wasn't so bad of a teacher but her class requires a TON of reading. Honestly an unreasonable amount but keep your head up high ig. She randomly has class exercises which are a nice way to remember all the information. It's easy to zone out while she talks and talks and talks but maybe that's just me lol

Her speech is incredibly disorganized and does not make anything about her instructions clear. And when you ask about instructions, she would respond very rudely, sarcastically, and ultimately just pick on you. She would move students seating around the class all the time for no reasons or just if friends were sitting together. Don't waste your $.

Would take again

I have absolutely no idea why her rating is so low. EASIEST class I have ever taken. All of her exams are taken at home with open notes with no essay questions. Super nice lady! Every once in a while she will ask you to write a few sentences to bring to class for a participation grade and that's it.

She doesn't explain properly, you're basically on your own in this class. If you're interested in psychology, don't take her class. The reading is easy. Test questions are also easy, however, she doesn't allot enough time for the tests. If you're a slow reader, her tests will be hard to complete. Also, she doesn't really communicate effectively.

Not best but Nice professor. Fairly easy. Easy Group work. READ the textbook or you'll fail. Tests are online (don't be slow when taking tests. Not much time). Few paper assignments. Helpful. gives lectures in class. Just make sure you read your textbook to pass the class. Wouldn't take again but I don't have complaints other than the reading.

I personally prefer professors that teach, she does not she will tell you what to read, and that's it. Her whole class is reading she never once got up and gave a lecture. She has a total of 4 tests including the final, and one writing assignment. Don't take her if you like lectures and learn better that way. You will have to teach yourself.

Nothing bad about the professor, though she is pretty strict when it comes to how things are done. Lots of reading and only tests. No makeups or extra credit will be offered it's a straight forward class. She does give you plenty of time in between tests to read though so that's one good thing.

Everything is being learned from the textbook, she doesn't verbally teach. I'm relying on God at this point.

I had a fun time, but she doesn't verbally teach. Lots of reading and she doesn't grade the activities which sucks if you get a bad grade on a test. Test are timed too. But she was nice and understanding.

Nice teacher. But you basically teach yourself everything in the textbook. Daily assignments are not graded which sucks if you get a bad grade on the exams.

one of the rudest professors I have ever had. You can't even go up to her and asks questions without her looking at you extremely ugly or making a rude comment . she comes to class late everyday and hardly talks about psychology . DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR

The reading isn't as bad as it's made out to be from other reviews. I do agree that she doesn't actually do any teaching though, and you're basically your own teacher here. The tests are alright however she gives you very little time on them which is difficult as many of the questions require contemplation.

If you're looking for structured learning, she is NOT for you. The textbook is fine in detail, but very seldom does she actually make an effort to teach the material. You're only graded on the tests and the term paper, so get to reading. The final and the term paper weren't as bad as she made it seem.

The absolute WORST and LAZIEST Teacher on the Del Mar College Faculty. She should be fired with prejudice and made to pay back the money for this most recent semester. She should be required to pay students who had to deal with her BS this past semester she is literally and figuratively the absolute worst.
