Ms. Maloney class isn't hard. However it does require a lot of reading and memorization. and it does require good knowledgeable writing skills for the APA paper she gives out. However all the material she covers is in the "book" and "study guide" so you don't even have to show up for class just study the books and you're almost bound to pass.

She cares about the process of explaining her materials more than how the students progress. It seems that she focuses on herself, her job, her materials. She concerns "How am I going to explain [this theory]? Do my job?" more than hoping to create future psychologists.
