There is a lot of reading for her class. Weekly homework that is very time consuming to do. Her tests have a section on it where people in the text book must be memorized. I have not really learned anything in the course. Just developing better memorization techniques.
she does have weekly homework assignments which are seemingly out of place with a college course. but they are easy and she doesn't correct them. you get full credit just for answering. her tests are marginal but not difficult. overall she's a good teacher and the class is not difficult
She teaches like she is teaching elementary school students and not college level students. Her lectures rarely if ever relate to the weekly reading assignments. She has tests that range from covering a few chapters to 8 chapters at a time, and then the entire text book. Yawnsville.
Don't pay attention to the first review that is on this page; if she teaches the class like it's elementary school, why give it a low easiness score? Go back to 5th grade then. This was the most enjoyable class I have taken so far @CSUCI and if you don't want to do h/w then don't go to school.
I really liked her. She is very experienced in her feild and loves to teach us about what she knows. She is very energetic, and keeps the long class entertaining. Try to get to class early because it fills up really fast.
Just remeber to study the multiple choice and her answers to the homework. You can write any kind of BS on the HW. she does not look at it and she gives the answers to the mutiple choice at the end of class. But she is okay.
She was very helpful and a great person. I loved the class. Just study hard for those tests!
Good teacher, very friendly and experienced. Really works to help you understand material and what she expects. Enthusiastic. All work given will help with course goals and tests.
Loved everything about her and the class. She was a total sweetheart, but she was still challenging as a professor. And she didn't talk down like some think, she was just more one big unit. Her lectures were interesting and demanded your attention. I l
awesome awesome awesome
Very good professor, lectures were interesting...only thing that peeved me is the content she lectured on and the content she tested on were totally incongruent.
Reminds me of the mother of ray finkle in ace ventura pet detective.
Best class and professor I have taken at CSUCI her lectures are interesting and you actually learn in her classs. Sweet, smart and carinng professor. Very helpful, very clear, and very interesting class.
She is so nice and a great teacher! She tells stories rather than lecturing so it is more interesting and you actually learn. Very caring and willing to work with you and help you out. do the homework and study for the tests.
She is extremely nice and the best teacher I've had at this school so far. Her class is 3 hours long, but the class never gets boring! I actually look forward to going to this class.
She is the nicest teacher you will have. She is very enthusiastic about the material, even though the material sometimes isn't very interesting. If you don't end up with a good grade in this class, you were probably trying to get a bad grade.
human psychology- like eveeryone says shes really nice, gives you a good break in class, knows what shes talking about, and basically gives you exactly what will be on the test before you take it, anyone would love her.
Her class is not college level at all! Someone should remind her that she's teaching COLLEGE STUDENTS! NOT MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOLERS! I don't think she's cut out for teaching at a college or university.
This class is a JOKE!!!!
I love Nancy Loman! She is a great teacher. Very helpful! Her lectures are always entertaining. You can tell she really loves what she does. I learned so much in this class. Everyone should take it!! It was easy but at the same time I learned valuable information. I would take her again for any class!!! :)
She is the nicest lady ever! I loved this class! Read and do the homework and it's impossible not to do well.
Nancy is the nicest lady ever! She loves to teach developmental so the class is very fun. Just know that for the essay part on the test, she grade very specifically, so make sure you write the answer as she says it when correcting the hw. (since the tests questions are directly from the hw)
One of my best teacher's ever! Nancy ROCKS! Great class, Very Fun
LOTS of memorization, not a lot of learning. She briefly explains things, and then expects you to write detailed answers in essay Q's. went into her office hours once, she wasn't able to answer my Q's and seemed shocked that i even had any. people says its an easy A, but it's not when your the type of person that doesn't like learning from a book.
her lectures are interesting and so is the subject, though you will not receive a good grade unless you are good at memorization (feels like a high school class)
Amazing professor, really makes the subject interesting.
Dr. Loman was a very sweet lady. She cares about her students understanding the material. She gives a LOT of busy work, but when it comes time to take the test, you understand why she does it!
I've taken two classes with Nancy now and she's one of my favorite professors on campus. She's such a sweet woman. And it may be an easy A, but her classes are enjoyable and she's always got something interesting to say.
Prof. Loman is one of my favorite teachers. She is very sweet and understanding. Your lucky to get a teacher like her. Definitely take her class if you get the chance.
Sweetest lady ever! Lots of busy work, but it's well worth it for the test!
She is a very kind professor who wants her students to succeed! Her lectures are interesting and the articles we read were also also interesting. This was my all time favorite class last semester! One last thing, Go to class, and do the homework, it really helps.
Nancy Loman is my hero
I <3 Nancy Loman.
WONDERFUL LADY !!! GREAT TEACHER !!!
I seriously love this lady. TAKE HER FOR ANY PSYCH CLASS! She's adorable and very funny. She's patient and helpful and knows what she's talking about. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER!
Wonderful!! She literally makes lectures interesting and super clear to understand. Study vocab, essay questions, and multiple choice questions from the book site and you'll do fine!!
I love her! She teaches in a way that is captivating! She is passionate about the subject. She has the best stories to accompany the material. The class is interesting, the test are a lot of material but she keeps you interested in the subject so it's not such pain to study. She is just a really amazing, compassionate, and sweet woman.
Nancy is a great professor! She is the sweetest thing and there is never a boring lecture. Homeworks and tests are super easy. I love her class.
Best teacher ever <3
LOVED HER. SHE WAS VERY FUNNY,NICE AND INFORMATIVE :)
Nancy Loman is amazing. Pay no attention to the people that put poor quality. They probably didn't pass the class and just had a grudge against her or something. Classes are always interesting. Really study the homework because homework questions are test questions. Always ask for help if you need it; she is always open to answering questions.
She is the sweetest lady ever! Pay attention in class and study what she tells you to for her tests and you will be fine. Her grading system is different than other teachers Ex: A-93%, B-83% and so on. Such a great class!
She is a very nice&funny professor, although she does make attendance mandatory. She gives you the exact materials you need to study for her test. The final does suck because its cumulative. Its a lot of material to study but over all she was a good teacher
Sweetest professor ever! Always willing to help with any questions or concerns you have. Class is a little tedious as there is an assignment due for every class. Tests are not bad if you know terms used in the text.
She stopped most of the homework assignments which means that your grade is based on mostly test scores. Her tests are easy to study for however, it's so hard to improve your grade in that class with just tests.
She is one of my favorite professors. I wish she would teach more psych courses! She is very clear on her lectures and it is all very interesting. Tests are easy as long as you study and have good memorization skills. Like someone on here had said it is very hard to boost up your grade but can be easily be brought down. No room for slacking off!!
Love this professor! She is all lecture but interesting. You must read before class to do well on the true/false quizzes. Only 5 questions. Her exams are every 4 chapters 50 multiple choice + essay. You have an option for the prompt of 3. The exams are average, if you read you will do well.
Very sweet lady, super smart. Dont expect curves on anything ever. She tells you up front what she expects and where to get the answers for the tests. You need to get the book but you get a quiz each class on the chapter
She is a fantastic teacher. She is very clear about what she expects from students and at least in her psych 100, makes it very easy to obtain an A as long as you READ. READ READ READ before every class or you will not get the grade you want. She is passionate about her work and compassionate toward her students. Don't expect to pass if you slack.
The class material is interesting but you could find a better teacher for it. meh.
Really enjoyed her class. Studying isnt too hard, but highly recommended to get an A. Not only she was a great teacher, but for some other reason, she was like mother to the class. very lovable and helpful.
Nancy is absolutely amazing! Hands down one of my favorite professors at CI. She is extremely smart, funny, warm & motherly which makes for a great class atmosphere. She provides plenty of guidance for tests, you always know exactly what to study/expect. Her lectures are very interesting; you will learn a lot :)
The personality of everybody's favorite aunt. Super nice and knows her stuff. No homework. No extra credit. 80% of grade is exams. Other 20% is quizzes you take everyday. I personally did not use the book and did fine. Pay attention in class and review online before tests and you should be fine. :-). Quizzes are 5 true-false everyday.
Grading is super unfair, teacher is non-sympathetic. If you have a death in the family she could care less. Shows a person's true character, and hers is ugly unfortunately
Prof Loman is great. You can get an A in her class but you have to work for it. You have daily quizzes, four exams and a final. No paper.
She's the sweetest, most helpful professor you'll ever meet. She is extremely understanding. Her class is very straightforward and simple to pass. There are 5 point quizzes for every class, but they are extremely easy. The answers to all her tests are given to you beforehand. I actually learned so much for it being such a simple class!
Very boring class. You must read in order to do well on the 5 point quizzes that she gives before class. All answers are given to you before the test! Literally!! If your good at memorizing take the class!
She is not a good teacher, she expects memorization more than learning.
Dr. Loman is a truly sweet professor! She cares for her students and her lectures are very informational. Her tests are fairly easy since her questions come straight from her online test bank, including the final! So if you're good at memorizing, I'd take her! Flash cards are super helpful too!
Very sweet woman! She provides everything you need to know online for each test, so the book is useless. Just study what she gives you and you'll do well.
very sweet and fabulous ! I love her humor, class is easy. Test answers are given beforehand and if you're good at memorizing then this is an easy A!
nice and friendly professor, she provides her answers to her tests beforehand so the class is based off memorization, she tends to read off her power points making her lectures long and tiring. reading the book is an absolute must since she assigns quizzes everyday.
Awesome! Tests are sooo easy. There is a five point quiz at the begging of each class on the reading. She has Practice quizzes on her website that gives you the same questions that will be on the test. Favorite professor so far!
To get an A you must have 94% and above in the class.
Dr. Loman is the best teacher ever! She's sweet, kind, and really cares about her students. Her tests are easy because she posts all her tests with answers online before hand. She gives quizzes everyday so as long as you read the book you'll be fine. Very passionate about what she's talking about. One of my favorite teachers so far.
Very sweet older woman! Incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in Developmental Psych. However, she is very scatter brained and technologically challenged, spends a good 15 minutes of each class trying to figure the computer out. A short test at the beginning of every class. 3 tests + final are difficult but gives most of the answers before
I love this professor as an individual, very sweet but her teaching and grading techniques are horrible. She gives the answers to the test so the only thing you learn is how to memorize. My 80% in the class is a C in her grading scale (I did not miss one day of class), constantly made mistakes on the answers for our exams.
She is such an amazing professor, very passionate about psych. She does give a 5 question T/F quiz based off of the readings at the beginning of class. Her tests are easy, gives you ALL of the answers ahead of time, all you have to do id memorize. 3 tests + final. You won't regret it!
Prof Loman is such a sweet and helpful person. Her class isn't hard at all as long as you red. literally every question on her tests are on the practice tests she gives online & the t/f questions. Her essay questions can be difficult so PAY ATTN IN CLASS. Other than that, the class is great.
I HATE how long class takes to get started. For a 1:50 minute class, this cuts into lecture. Exams are easy, just memorize all that's online. Quizzes are so-so and sometimes worded weird, but you have to read the chapter before hand or you won't do well. Loman is really smart and loves this topic, so she can go off on tangents sometimes.
She is awesome! She is one of the nicest professor's I have ever had. Her class is not too hard, she has quizzes based on readings every class, 3 exams (derived from online quiz questions and vocabulary). She is a vey sweet lady, she cares for her students and will help you succeed. :)
Professor Loman is the sweetest person you will ever meet. She's is a great professor overall. Quiz before every lecture. A lot of reading, but it's pretty easy to understand. She gives you the answers to the exams, you just need to study them. It is really easy to fall behind on the readings, so find a good strategy to keep up.
She is a kind lady, keeps lectures interesting. Didn't pass because I didn't study hard enough for the beginning tests. Her essay questions are hard so study for those. All of her tests answers are given to you so just study those. 5 question quiz everyday, they aren't hard but not easy. Her grading scale is higher than usual. Final is cumulative.
Had her for psyc 213 & 100 her class is made up of daily quizzes off the textbook each worth five point which later adds up to 100 to create an exam. There are 4 exams total all multiple choice fill in the blank vocab and an essay portion super easy because she provides you with the answers so you have to memorize it
Dr. Loman is by far the best professor I've had on campus! She's a real sweet lady and is always supportive; it's mandatory you show up to class. If you skip, just stay for the first couple of minutes because of her quizzes, but as long as you do the readings and study for her tests (everything is posted online) then you'll be fine!
The most caring and lovely woman to ever teach! Professor Loman makes her learning environment enjoyable
She's a professor that definitely enjoys what she teaches and is more than willing to help. Kind and enthusiastic. Attendance is important for a good grade, as quizzes are taken at the beginning of every class. A little over 90% is required for an A, but tests are not too difficult, they're essentially just what's on the study guide.
Loman is an amazing teacher, but a tough grader on the essays. She also has a messed up grading scale so watch out for that a 90% is a B in her class.
all the answers to her exams are on blackboard! study the practice test, fill in the blanks, and vocabulary. there is also a essay portion, look over the lecture notes she posts on blackboard to study for those.
I had her for both Psychology 100 and 213. Gosh I freaking hates these two classes, I enjoyed my biology classes more. She is a sweet person but her class is just tedious work, you don't learn, you memorize. Easy A if that's the only class you have to work on.
There is a quiz everyday, her grading scale is higher than usual. She gives you the multiple choice questions but you're on your for the essay. Her lecture notes are all over the place, so it is very difficult to predict what her essay is going to be about. I would never take her again, she is a hard grader too.
Gives five point quizzes at the beginning of every class. Posts all of her tests online to study so if you memorize the answers you can pass the multiple choice pretty easily. Its the essay questions that are hard to study for.
4 exams, 3 essays (usually cancells the last essay). For exams, she gives u the questions and u have to memorize them, for essays u have to KNOW all of her lecture notes. There is a quiz every day. She is super nice! Try to do really well on the essays, she ROUNDS ur grade based on them. (She rounded my grade from B+ into A- bc of essay grades)
Super easy class. Loman puts every multiple choice test question on canvas with the answers and her lecture notes. There are daily quizzes that are not worth too much so you can miss a few but it's better to just go to class for an hour and get the points. Tests are multiple choice and you get to choose one essay from usually 3 or 4 prompts.
I absolutely adore Nancy Loman and her PSY 213 class!! Provides all study materials online. Daily 5 true/false question quizzes are simple and easy if you do the reading. Her lectures are fun and far from boring. I would recommend Loman to every single student if I could!!
Nancy Loman is one of the best teachers I have had my whole life. She is sweet, funny, and genuinely wants you to learn. All the test questions are on Canvas, and T/F question quizzes at the beginning of class. She recently adapted a no screen policy in her class, but I didnt even care because her lectures are so fun! Would recommend her to anyone.
Okay first let me start by saying that she is the absolute WORST! I took her freshman year and failed then I took the class again and barely passed. Don't expect to actually learn anything cause you won't. Her class is based purely on memorization and for the final its about 500 terms you must memorize. As if we don't have other classes. DON'T TAKE
I took this class the beginning of my second year, and I stressed sooo much over this class. Really hard to pass especially when your only grade is based on tests. If you aren't a good test taker I totally don't recommend this class. The attendance isn't mandatory but there are small quizzes at the beginning of class which don't help what so ever..
LOVE DR. LOMAN!! i took her for psy100 and just HAD TO take her for 213 as well. Gives amazing lectures and is super clear on everything. No hw, just a couple of fieldwork assignment that are v easy. make sure to study! the class is only difficult is you procrastinate. Other than that, the quizzes before the lectures are fairly simple! highly rec!!
Loman is awesome. Very knowledgeable and caring. She provides students with all test questions, so do not forget to take that opportunity. Memorize those study guides and youll pass her class. Shes a great professor.
She reads off the lecture slides all class long, then when she asks if anybody has questions she looks down and moves on within 2 seconds. She posts practice exams tho, I passed with a B bases on memory skills, I have learned nothing about psychology. I, in fact, was really interested in Psychology until this class.
This class is an absolute breeze if you have a good memory. She posts all the test questions and answers online before. Literally the exact same questions which is nice because the questions are hard. Attendance is mandatory and pre class quizzes but those are mostly common sense. Very caring lady but could be rough if you have a bad memory.
Nancy is the sweetest person ever and she really makes class interesting. I would recommend reading all the assigned readings and paying attention in class. Her tests are not crazy difficult but you need to pay attention to detail. There is a multiple choice part and written essay part but you get to choose from 3 different prompts. Her A is 94%
Not a fun course. Reads right off powerpoint each class, and there is a 5 question quiz that makes lecture "mandatory" each class unless you want a lower grade. Test answers are on canvas but each test is about 4 chapters long with multiple choice, vocab, and fill in the blank. Not interactive nor exciting. Must read the chapters before classes.
Dr. Loman is a caring and lovable individual who expresses her love of developmental psychology in every class meeting. You can tell she loves what she does and she only has two homework assignments. You just gotta study for the pop quizzes at the beginning of every class and for the tests. If you do that well, you will probably get an A.
Nancy is just the best. She really cares about her students and is passionate about her profession. This class requires a lot of memorization for tests, but it helped me to not forget the information I learned. I suggest sitting up closer to the front and paying attention to her lectures to learn better.
An amazing teacher. She is so understanding, makes learning material super easy and she loves her students.
I loved LOVED professor Loman. (Taking her again) USE QUIZLET!! To pass the multiple choice on her exams you have to memorize. Her written part of exams are important, at end of my sem she rounded up for those who got 7/8/9 out of 10s. The written portions are questions based on her lectures so PLS show up. Shes caring & super sweet! 10/10
her lectures are always fun and she is very funny so it never gets boring and she gives the answers to the exams so you just have to study to get an A
Nancy is the sweetest professor I have had. I took PSY100 with her as well and after taking both its clear to see how passionate she is about Dev Psych and she's super willing to chat after class about literally anything. Super friendly and caring. Make sure you take advantage of the exam answers online and you will easily pass.
Nancy is one of the greatest professors ive ever had. Her tests are Easy As (if studied), she provides study guides with all the exact test questions and answers. I have learned a lot from her doing that and really removes stress. I highly recommend her! But anyways, stream and buy Lose You To Love Me by Selena along with her album Rare!
She's the sweetest person ever but her class is a bit eh. Chapter quizzes everyday on the book and a few papers. During COVID she took away the daily quizzes, a paper, and essay portions of exams. She provides multiple choice, T/F, and vocab study sheets & chooses exam questions straight out of those! She's also really good at replying and helping!
she is amazing and kind and wants you to succeed. Quizzes at the beginning of class, she has true and false, multiple choice, and vocab but copies it the same which make the test easy. The hard part are her essay test she grades those hard and won't take essay that aren't to her standards. The papers she assigens she actually reads so do them good
Professor Loman is amazing! Her lectures are interesting, no need to take notes, she posts lecture notes on what she will test you on. She gives you all materials to study for exams, if you can memorize all practice quizzes you will easily get A's on every exam. Just study all of her study material and you'll do great!
Loman is a caring person but her class was dreadful and extremely tedious (green book prompt and quizzes every single class ). Only lower course I took at CI, was already taking upper psych, and yet it's the one I did worst at. Don't expect to be treated as an adult, she'll treat you like a child- hence: attendance quizzes. Don't recommend.
Professor Loman is very nice and understanding, she cares about you and your education and her lectures are great!
Prof Loman is absolutely amazing. She is one of the sweetest, most caring professors I have ever head. I enjoyed every single lecture, and even switched my major to psychology because she made me fall in love with it. There are greenbook activities, and a quiz every class however, if you do the reading, you will be perfectly fine.
I would recommend taking this class. Professor Loman is understanding with your circumstances and this class is consisted of 3 exams excluding final, 1 reflection paper, and 1 case study. The lectures are pre recorded and sent out the night before class would normally start.
Nancy is extremely unorganized and kind of all over the place. She only had exams for grading. But her lectures are hilarious. Only T/F questions on final. I would take this class again, relatively easy A. FALL 2020
A great professor who really cares. She had my favorite lectures that I actually enjoyed watching. Work consists of reading the chapters and watching lectures then writing a small paragraph and having a quiz with true or false answers one every couple weeks. A few tests that were also true or false. Sweetest lady and I hope to take her again.
She is an amazing and sweet Professor who makes her lectures enjoyable to watch. Her class consists of many exams, one case study assignment, and a final. I really do wish she were to add more assignments in between to help our grade improve a little. Otherwise, make sure to study her lecture notes a lot in order to pass the T/F exams !
quizzes are true or false and doesnt give many assignments
Professor Loman was amazing and her lectures were clear and concise. The test material is all true or false and is identical to her slides/notes.
I took PSY 213 (online) from Dr. Loman and enjoyed my time in this class. Several reminders were sent out before each assignment/quiz/exam was due and that was a very kind courtesy that I appreciated. Dr. Loman's lectures, particularly about communication with children and aging/dying, were hilarious. She knows her stuff. No extra credit offered.
Took online. Great video lectures that keep you interested! She is passionate about what she teaches. Dr. Loman is also very accessible via email and is willing to meet just to chat. Her assignments are not necessarily difficult, just review the lecture notes provided and you will do just fine.
professor loman was so caring and sweet, her lectures are really interesting and her personality makes them more interesting. her class is easy as long as you read the textbook and pay attention in class. i wish i was able to take her again , she is my favorite professor so far
Lots of lectures and few assignments. Exams are worth 40 points each true and false question based. Lecture videos are interesting but old and pre recorded. Uses questions for exams that never appear on the study guides
The class has very few assignments and if you do bad on one it messes up your whole grade. Most of the assignments are exams that are true or false. These exams are timed and it is not enough time to take the exams.
Professor Loman makes lectures engaging, though her grading system relies heavily on tough true/false exams. The textbook is essential, but unstuckstudy also proved a helpful resource for studying and test prep.
Her tests are a big portion of your grade, all I can say is read the textbook.
She's so sweet and understanding. Take her if you get the chance!
