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.

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..

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.

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

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.

Prof Loman is absolutely amazing. She is one of the sweetest, most caring professors I have ever head.

There are greenbook activities, and a quiz every class however, if you do the reading, you will be perfectly fine.

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.

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.
