She is a horrible teacher, but a great researcher, she bring thousands of dollars into ball state to they won't do anything about how horrible she is. She needs to just teach the upper level classes and stay away from the 210 class. She is very unorganized and doesn't get through hardly any of the chapters and then you have to teach yourself half the book. Psy isn't easy...she doesn't make it any easier.

She is a very smart woman. However, her tests can be very tricky (ex: a. --- b. --- c. --- d. only a&b e. a,b,&c). She isn't clear about attendance points or extra credit points. She reads the powerpoints in class, and falls behind the syllabus. At the end of the class she will throw the rest of the chapters at you. The lab is easy points.

It's a rough class-be prepared to grin and bear it. Read the book, listen to her lectures, go to SI sessions, and read the powerpoints. Comprehensive exams so KNOW the material.

This is the hardest class I've taken here. Most of the time I feel like this is the only class I'm taking in all of my 18 credit hours. You will NEED to study about a week in advance for her tests if you want to get at least a 'C' on them. Exams are 70% of your grade, Lab: 20%, quizzes: 10%.

Javed is the WORST professor I have EVER had. Lecture two times a week for 2 hours and it is SO tough to sit through. The ONLY reason people show up is for attendance and I'm not even sure if she takes it for a grade. She doesn't know how to teach. We have an exam or quiz every week and the exams are basically impossible. Doesn't respond to emails.

Dr. Javed is the worst professor I have had, she reads straight off the powerpoint slides and doesn't explain any of the information. Her tests are nearly impossible because she pulls out random details from the book that students will never remember. Grades are made up of only exams and quizzes which are given every week.

This is one of the hardest classes i've taken at Ball State. Please avoid this class if you can. The material is way too much especially at the end, and on top of that she is a horrible lecturer. With those two things combined its very difficult wanting to go to class every time. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER COURSE OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE MISERABLE.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Dr. Javed has been the worst professor I've had. Her lectures are terrible - she reads straight from the PowerPoint, which I can do on my own time. Her tests are just random bits of information pulled from the textbook. All the grades are tests and quizzes. Avoid taking this course with her.

Her class is extra hard, the exams are no joke and her online lecture videos are VERY BORING since she speaks so low and speaks monotone. The class is interesting, but her delivery is mad boring.

she is absolutely awful. her lectures are boring and her PowerPoint can be 90 slides long which is difficult especially since it is online. you have exams every other week and quizzes the weeks you don't have exams. the exams are very difficult i recommend doing the end of chapter exercises from the book.

This professor is one that I would avoid. She has been the worst professor I have had. I work for my grades. However, this professor does little to no work. She can't post her material on time and offers snarky remarks when emailed. My final exam is in less than a week and she has yet to post any of the 3 chapters to study. F- (AVOID)

Lots of homework

Do not take her. This was an online class do to covid, however she stated she would be providing lectures with audio. Lectures were posted late and audios were sometimes never posted at all. She provided no lectures/audios for the final exam even though she said she would post them. Reading the textbook was the only thing that got me through.

Would take again

This class was online due to covid, but for me there was only a couple quizzes and a lab due each week. Every other week you would have an exam instead of one of the given quizzes. I would recommend this class, not sure how the class is in person tho!

Not a good experience with Dr. Javed, she wasn't always the kindest person and was rude when asked a question. Very lecture heavy and test heavy and since I was online there were posted lectures and those were around 4 hrs long straight.

I will say, she knows what shes talking about, but she sure doesnt know how to teach it. Unorganized class. Lectures are long & SO slow-paced, we will be ahead in lab & behind in lecture. Does not answer questions very well. Typically two quizzes a week, and exam every other week. Study guides are ABSOLUTELY useless. Basically self-learning.

avoid taking her at all costs. she has a powerpoint every single week that is about 90 slides or longer and all she does is talk and talk even more. We're lucky if we even get through half of the slides. I'm pretty sure we are about five chapters behind and we have one week of classes left. She's also not very helpful at all, in fact can be rude

absolutely terrible professor. study guides are useless, she doesn't actually teach anything. she avoids answering questions and expects you to study for 3 HOURS EVERY SINGLE DAY. lecture is pointless. two quizzes a week and exams every other. she only grades based on exams & quizzes which are 60% of your grade. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. She is unprofessional and hardly teaches the class. The only thing she does in lecture is read off of PowerPoint slides and ignores questions when students ask them. The tests were much harder than the material covered in lecture.
