I thought she was easy to listen to which makes the class easier. She tried to make it relate to college life. As long as you take good notes, tests are not too hard. Also, she gives a breakdown of the exact test and tells you what to study. So if you do study what she says, can't go wrong!
Easy if you can stay awake.
i really liked her! lectures got repetitive after a while, but she told you everyhting that was on the test and the tests really weren't that hard. she also tried to liven up the class and make jokes...she's nice.
funny, nice, but can be unclear.
Good teacher to take. She has a sense of humor and she keeps the class pretty interesting.
she was super! she broke down exactly what you needed to study for the test and explained very clearly in class. shes pretty easy going and rather funny, i would take one of her classes again for sure!
She's horrible!! She thinks she's funny but she's totally NOT!
Great professor. Fun, but her tests are very long and tough.
she was never late but did spend ALOT of time talking about her personal life... She is very confusing and jumps from one subject to the next and then goes back and forth... she expects you to know everything even if she doesnt go through everything.. she bores you to death with her lectures.. she does'nt help you in anything cause she's flaky..
Pretty easy. SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT!! Book definitions are good for the test. Gives you a study guide. Nice. Voice is a little tedious. Videos are fun to watch. Tests are fairly easy.
SHE WAS THE BEST professor i've had yet. :))))
Really good teacher, wants you to learn
It is an easy class, but she the worlds best Professor. She goes off track a lot. As long as you study the study guides you should be ok.
Sucked....no homeowork...only exams...no way to make up for bad test score!
She really cool, and makes the class fun!
She was ok... goes off track a lot, but is pretty funny. Study the study guides and it is an easy A.
I liked her even though she did go off track a lot. She's funny with her little personal stories. The tests aren't too hard as long as you follow your notes. I would take a class with her again.
Very easy A for me, basically to get an A on the test just memorize all the bold-faced words in the text book. Lectures were very interesting and never boring at all.
She is totally cool. Her lectures are interesting, and I learned a lot. And hey, any teacher that takes her students to B.J.'s for dinner after the final is pretty awesome!
She was awesome.. always kept me interested. Definently kept us amused with her own corny life stories!! She made it easy to pass the final with her study guides and writing basically the whole test's contents on it. I wish she taught more classes at Goldenwest.
shes easy. just study the review sheet. and show up to class, its an extra credit point everyday you come. and she gives alot of extra credit.
She wakes me up in the morning. She cracks me up with her jokes. She can be a comedian if she wanted to. Her class is interesting, fun, and easy. Take her and get an easy A.
She is awesome! her tests can be hard buts she gives out so much extra credit it makes it so much easier. everyday u show up u get a point plus each test she has extra credit. she is a easy teacher if u don't want to take it online and u actually try a little, try hard u'll get an A for sure.
She was Pretty good I liked her class, except for the fact that it was too early for me... she lectures on what the actual test is about...her study guides have exactly what she wants you to know...Extra credit for showing up for class. she also has some story about a kid in her other class pretending to **** while she lectures-she'll tell yo
She is so funny and nice I wish I could take more classes from her. As long as you show up to class and take notes off the PPT you will do fine on the tests. Everything is pretty self explanatory and she makes it easy to understand.
show up to class+ take notes =Easy A
Good overall teacher. Enjoyed the class very much because she is funny and helpful. Tests are tricky but the extra credit that she gives out will help boost your grade by alot!. Take notes, read the book, and show up to class because you get points for showing up too.I recommend this class to anyone.
the best psych teacher at gwc...her jokes r funny and plenty of ec questions on exams
Those comments are totally bogus. It's my 2nd time taking this class, it's not going too well. Reading 40 pages each chapter, PRETTY long! Her lectures? BORING, goes off tangent. You only sit there for an hour and 25 mins, but it feels like forever. TESTS? Way too detailed. I warned you. Even my friends don't like her. And it's their first time! GL
She has very clear notes, straight from the book. Gives you lots of chances for extra credit. Just showing up to class you get a point. Thats almost 30 pts by the end of the semester. Also gives pop quizes for extra credit. Gives study guides for the exam. One of the easiest teachers ive had. Got a 106% :-) . Want an EASY A? Take her.
Subject matter was interesting stuff for me so it was all fun to learn and she did a good job at keeping it that way. If you pay attention in class, read the book and study for the tests this class is no problem. Especially if you pay attention on the chapter about learning.
i had her, thinking that she was easy or at least helpful..and she wasn't at all. She mostly talked about random things that didn't even relate to the class. **don't take her because you won't learn anything!!
SHE TAKES ROLL, SO YOU GET POINTS TO ATTENDING CLASS. HOWEVER, I DID BETTER WHEN I DIDN'T ATTEND THEN WHEN I DID ATTEND. ENDED UP WITH AN A BECAUSE I STUDIED FROM THE BOOK AND NOT THE USELESS REVIEW SHE GIVES OUT. TESTS APPEAR TO BE "COMMON SENSE", BUT AREN'T. CLASS IS PRETTY INTERESTING, BUT PROF TRIES TOO HARD TO BE FUNNY SOMETIMES.
good class. try your best to pay attention, if not then just review the book ahead of time and take notes on the chapters, go to class record the lectures and just sleep the rest of the time. takes pop quizes they help. she curves grades. she's funny and does take about random things but if you have questions just ask. the book might be wrong.
she is really easy you just have to go to class. very interesting kinda funny
overall a good teacher. attendance isnt mandatory but every class you come is 1 pt extra credit. i barely went to her class or read the book and i got a C. its kinda boring, but if you at least go you'll pass. she takes everything right from the book and the tests have a lot on them so use the study guide. theres no homework either.
Great teacher. Helpful, entertaining, reasonable. Class was strictly about what would be on the test, nothing else. Tests can be challenging. Lot of hot chicks take Psychology, too.
She's a good teacher, nice, very knowledgable, has good stories, and she's really funny. This wasn't the most interesting subject, but it wasn't boring either. Tests are curved. E.C. term paper is offered. Definitely get the book. Got to study hard for the tests.
You have to go to each class and take good notes, but she makes power points so that's easy. It's a lecture class and four tests, so you have to study! So if you are not a good test taker, take someone else. Her lectures were very interesting and she provides a good foundation of the subject. No projects, homework assignments or papers.
Use the study guide, read the book, attend class and ull get an A. Class isnt that bad cuz shes kinda funny. Take her!
I don't know if it was just that I had her class at 8 in the morning but she put me to sleep every single time. I was good w/ getting the study guide for each test and studying straight out of the book or wikipedia or something. But notes from her lecture are very helpful, if you can stay awake...
her lecture is directly from the book. she is very nice and kinda funny but i fall to sleep and only go half of the time. the class is at 8am and i dont get enough sleep and im lazy though so that contributes to my lack of care. semi easy class as long as you either go to class or study. but psych100 is really boring. take her in a different course
she has a very fun and laid back personality. Her lecture is directly from the book so it's a good idea to read the book if you want to earn the grade. The book is kind of tedious and boring. She does offer extra credit and grades on a very generous curve.
Prof Rasmussen made the lectures very long and boring. She is pretty funny but I have a hard time focusing on what she is trying to explain. The tests are extremely hard and tricky. I took this class at 8 am and it did not work out for me.
I honestly don't see anything great about her besides the fact that she's not your typical boring professor. Other than that, she does a HORRIBLE job at preparing you for her extremely hard exams. Her lectures almost have absolutely nothing to do with her exams. She'll go over the material AFTER the exam was given. When I had her, the majority of t
This was a tough class. The lectures had nothing to do with the exams, its hard to focus on what she is trying to say. She is funny and easy going but her exams are extremely hard. I failed this badly and hoping I will get a better grade with another teacher.
YOU WILL NEED A BOOK FOR HER CLASS. IT'S ESSENTIAL TO PASSING. HE LECTURES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TEST. YOU ONLY HAVE 4 TESTS THAT'S IT. NO HOMEWORK NO PROJECTS. yOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK IT YOU WANT TO PASS. SHE'S AN OK TEACHER THOUGH.. NOTHING SPECIAL. VERY BORING LECTURES!!
I can't stress enough how I enjoyed her class! She is super amazing at explaining. Hey, look, I slept in her class a few times and was still her favorite student and passed with a B+! It's not hard and you can miss a class or two..just read up! Participate a lot and she'll like you. I give her an A+++ ENJOY! :D
I couldn't have agreed more the majority of these comments they discribe her to a tee except the part about her being funny. She only thinks she is. Had straight A's until her class. Just received my first "F" on two of her exams and FAILED her class!!! NEVER AGAIN
She was a great professor clear and knowledgeable her tests were not hard as long as you follow her study guide be there for every class for attendance points, and she offers an extra credit assignment that is worth a lot.
Now enrolled in 100. Look at the age of these posts. She has changed it up. For a shrink she is pretty funny. And gives insight to her practice and patients. Try's to make it interesting and funny. Loves sports and the Lakers. She gives a very comprehensive study guide for each test and grades on a curve. I wish she taught more classes.
I had her for Psych 100 and Psych 160 and received an A in both classes. These classes were hard, you need to study, but overall she was a good teacher.
This class was HARD! But I still managed to pass with a C! However, her tests are hard and long.. 100+ questions. MUST study. Definitely not easy, but you have to try. No homework. Just exams. She takes attendance. Overall, she has a good sense of humor and tries to crack jokes at times.
GREAT teacher, super funny keeps you focused, will answer any question you have, tries to not let you get to off subject for long. Test are multiple choice, not to bad if you read the book, sometime short essay answer. Has pop quizzes occasionally, takes attendance, grades on a double curve! Come to class read, listen & take notes get an A!
I love this teacher!! She's soo funny I definitely recommend her class
she is very funny. keeps the class focused and those group projects she has us do, are totally fun. i recommend her definitely :)just make sure you study and take notes because when she says its going to be on the test she means it. good thing she gives us study guides :)
Great teacher. Takes participation points based on attendance but for a one day a week class thats not bad. I highly reccommend reading the textbook at the same rate as the lecture because by the time you get to the test you will have reinforcement and more knowledge. Definately would take her again!!
I had her for a 7:55 class and I honestly don't think I would have gone to as many class meetings if it were any other class. She's suuuper funny and makes the material super interesting.HIGHLY recommend you read the textbook, will help with the tests A LOT.
Super funny and a little bit on the sexual side but that was due to the subjects we studied. Twice I wek for pysch 100, attendance is about 50% of the course so you have to show up. Read the chapters it will help you do well on the tests..overall it was a good class, highly recommended!!
When I first got in the class I thought I would like it. You NEED to always read the book! She would give our study guides later than she'd promise like 2 days before a test covering around 100 terms. I found that really unprofessional considering we have other classes to worry about. Also the notes are pretty pointless. I wouldn't take her again..
Chill and funny teacher however doesn't assign any homework so grades are based on tests. So you HAVE to read the book to pass! Don't rely on her lectures, it's just a vague overview of whats in the book. But overall great and interesting class.
took the 16 week course in class, although she teaches straight out of the book her lectures were fun, she is a funny teacher her class is a little hard because grades are based only on 4 quizzes and a final no homework.
Pretty funny. For some reason, her voice reminds me of Leela of Futurama if she wasn't as articulate and had a stammer. There are a lot of quizzes and questions based on the book so you'd better read your textbook. Lot of info crammed into a 3 hour class. Also a lot of group presentations so just hope you get a good group.
She was a smart and interesting person, ut for some reason she mad things a pain. she assigns groups and then you work with them on stupid projects. she also has 5 chapter tests. she only selects a few chapters to review in class... avoid her but if you can work hard. Class is on friday and a 3 hours class
DO NOT TAKE HER! Avoid her once a week class at all costs. I really like her as a person, she's funny. but i can't stand her as a professor. She makes you do these group projects with like 7 other people then tests you on the presentations. disorganized. unprofessional. exams on 8 chapters. not cool! hard hard hard and unnecessary!
OK, I am one of those guys that are "LAZY". And I find this class really hard,those who said Psychology is easy are fools that took easy teacher,this proessor is really professional, she knows what shes talking about, you have to attend to class to pass, don't depend on notes to pass, you gotta ALWAYS read the book. I passed with a B+, Learned alot
The lectures were helpful. The exams were based on her lectures. If she is lazy then she uses the test questions from the teacher material of the textbook; which is very hard. If she is not lazy then she makes up her own test questions which is easy. I took her class and she graded on the curve because over half of the class got below 60%.
Be warned, she tests you on the group projects. Which i didn't like. She's very smart and knows her stuff. She's funny and easy to pay attention to. ALWAYS READ THE BOOK! And buy the study guide if you want a good grade. My first test I got a D! But I ended up with an A in the class. Participate in class, take notes. and read read read!
Very poor as far as teaching does not explain the material goes through the chapters very fast some times leaves out chapters that are on exams. The class consist of only exams and no quizzes or in class assignments. All she is interested in talking about is football. Horrible experience.
great person..not the best teacher but her class is definitely passable! Attendance is the most important, show up every class and pay attention you should be fine! Ask questions and engage in lectures and she will love you. The book is very important and helpful, I would have had a higher grade had I got the book, still passed with a C though
She makes the class fun and she was always in a good mood. She can be really funny! She knows her stuff. A lot of group projectspresentations. Her exams are straight forward.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Teacher seemed nice and funny but is a terrible instructor. She gave the midterm a class EARLY. This was so unfair and a complete waste of my money and time. Don't take this class if you want to pass.
She's an amazing teacher. If you're lazy, don't read and only rely on her power points you're bound to fail and should better prepare to be a college student. She makes you work for it and is always willing to clarify and even meet for study. Hilarious, straight forward and makes the class less dry.
Super interesting class, I would totally take it again!
She's very nice and helpful. If you have a problem you can talk to her and she will help you. If she sees you trying hard she will help you pass. Sometimes she gets of topic but very interesting lectures.
Really amicable and friendly. Very helpful, willing to assist if you need trouble with the material. Gives study guides which go over everything on exam. Attendance isn't taken, but you might miss out on an occasional activity for points. Exams focus mostly on stuff covered in lectures, but still has some things that you will need the book for.
Psychology was definitely a hard subject for me. After taking the class, and attending lectures every class, it was easier to understand. Prof. Rasmussen is very funny, and breaks down everything for the students. Most times, its better to review the chapter because sometimes her notes does not emphasizes much about each chapter.
Honestly she was a great professor, she made the lecture engaging and interesting, gave advice on how to study for the tests and even uploaded sections of the textbook for those students who couldn't afford it. I loved her
I did not like the way she taught us, and every time I turned in something she would forget to grade it. I'm not the best at exams but still at least input my homework I turn in.
Your grade depends on only four tests. The tests are definitely not easy, and you must read the textbook to pass. She gives little to no homework and her lectures do not cover all of what you are tested on. This is, by far, the hardest class I have ever taken. I would recommend choosing another professor.
Your entire grade is basically going to be what you get on the 4 tests she gives throughout the semester and she lectures everyday but doesn't cover everything thats going to be on the test, so missing class is costly. She's a cool and funny prof but the class is hard and be ready to study like never before.
She does not put up the powerpoints and bases her tests on topics she doesn't even go over in class. I recommend to not take her even if you have to take the class at OCC.
From the beginning of the semester she showed a complete lack of care. She is unpredictable and class is usually spent with her jumping back and forth through lecture slides or skipping slides all together because she doesn't plan accordingly. Tests were constantly moved around and there are hardly any opportunities to get points.
Dont.
She was the WORST TEACHER! DO NOT TAKE HER! lectures dont cover test at all, grade in class is based on how well u do on test marked me absent 3 times and i was there all 3 times and told the teacher and didnt change grade. Her aide who corrects papers and your attendance is so rude and horrible!OVERALL THIS CLASS IS THE WORST!TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!
i dont know how people gave this teacher a good rating. This class is one of the worst i have ever taken. Tried to email her once and never responded, didnt try to help me, and all you do is take notes and no hw ever but your grade is based on how well you do on tests so if you get C's and D's well your getting probably a D! dont take this class
I was late to choose classes and didn't know about her rating so I just chose her last minute. WORST idea ever for a psychology major. She seems to have a bubbly personality but has the meanest and rudest grader and attendance taker. She just skips thru slides on her powerpoint and her lectures in class don't even cover the tests. DON'T. Just don't
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. Her grading is absolutely horrible. She made a group presentation that she gave us a week to do out of 10 points. I got a B on my exam and it only moved my grade up 2%. Then I got a 5/10 on an in class assignment and it moved me back down 2%. I highly do not recommend this class it will set you up for failure.
Terrible professor. Very lazy and doesn't get grades in. She stutters on her lectures and says "ummm" a lot . Waste of time. She grades very heavily and her tests are confusing and sometimes not part to what she has taught in lecture. She skips through her slides, expects us to understand, and doesn't post the slides online to help students.
To pass, you need to read text and attend class. Also, the professor gives so much extra credit opportunities that should let people easily pass. Like the 20 point extra credit opportunity after the final exam where you just answer two questions. That's a fifth of a 100 point exam! However, I saw many people decline to do it due to laziness.
Tends to go off on random tangents and never covers much material during lectures. Very disorganized. The class itself isn't hard but you will have to do self teaching bc you won't learn much in class. She made our final an online quiz due to COVID but only opened it up for 30 mins. I got a D even tho I had an A all semester. Worst prof ever.
Worst professor ever. Attendance is mandatory but you won't learn a thing in her lectures because she's always going off on random tangents and trying to find her train of thought. From the bottom of my heart, this class was the biggest waste of my time in college so far.
Disorganized. Never replies to email. Do not recommend.
very lazy professor. she's extremely disorganized during lectures and never responds to emails. you basically have to teach yourself- don't take this class
Doesn't give clear instructions, and then grades harshly when you somehow didn't know the million little things she expected. Rude, not helpful, definitely avoid.
