Freaken awesome teacher. Don't let her scare you away, cause she's not interesting the first few days to weed out those who don't care about the subject, but she's soooo passionate about her subject. The most honest teacher I've encountered in long time

Not too hard but there is some work involved. She is very willing to help you out, take advantage of it!

she explained things well and kept up a comfortable enviornment

Articulate and SUPER knowledgeable about her topic!

While exceptionally well-versed in the topic, she appeared very overwhelmed at times, curt in tone, and would not wait to hear a student's question fully before responding. Nice person and very knowledgeble, but I left wondering if she really wants to sti

I took her again because I enjoyed her class so much. She does include some subject matter about sexism in each of her classes and tries to be multicultural in her presentation. Her class does have a bit of work because of group projects but it is good for you. I loved her, she is also very pretty.

this class had to be one of my most favorite classes i have taken. i love the way she teaches because it goes by quickly but she makes it fun and interesting. if you want to take a class where you learn really amazing things, take her class, you wont regret it!

Nasseem is a very intelligent woman.She may be intimadating, but you just have to let her know you won't take her bull. The material is easy and tests were a breeze, just don't fall behind on your summaries.

Great teacher! She made everything so interesting and she did a great job of relating the material to everyday life. The tests were really easy and there was no real busy work. Her lectures were great and she really got me interested in the field. I would recommend her to anyone.

Good teacher, really knowledgeable. However, her tests are really hard and she is a hard grader on the one paper that she assigns. Her lectures are interesting and you get to see a real human brain! She lets you bring food the last day of class which was a nice way to end the year.

If you like foreward-thinking, positive, well-educated teachers, she's awesome. She respects you enough to set the standards high. Unfortunately, most students aren't used to high standards. B.S.ing isn't an option; You have to WORK for your grade. Too much lecturing, not enough class-participation.

She is an excellent teacher. She is only intimidating and strict on those who do not do their work. I was really nervous in taking this class and at first Nasseem seem really tough but if you stick with her and do the required work (which is not a lot) you will have a really great experience. I woul

Strict and kind of boring, but work is not that hard and lots of filler grades. Attendance required, but taking notes is not, most of the stuff is right there in the book.

At 1st she seemed intimidating, then as the semester went by she showed off her fun side. Tests = pretty easy, especially if you read. Heavy lectures; lots of note-taking. Not a very laid back class - however, fun. Highly recommend having her if you really want to learn psychology. The whole textbook is covered in this class, not just parts of it.

she is a good teacher, and make her classes fun.

excellent, easy exams, lots of notes tho, but pretty fun class tho

She is a good teacher. Goes by the book, yet I won't miss classes. Tests are fair. And will take time to explain topics clearly. Although she thinks she's smarter and can seem rude. I highly recommand her.

If you like a fast paced class and learn fast do not take her class. She repeats things many times and her lectures are boring. Way to much work for a 3 unit class. Papers due every week, group research proyect, presentation, plus 4 exams and a final. No extra credit so if you don't do well in exams you will fail. Nice but boring!

One of the best teachers I have ever had. She continually involves the class in learning and sets a very high and proffesional standard.

Interesting and informative class. Instructor is enthused and excited about material. Weekly papers take about 10 minutes and tests are straight forward. I got an A without a lot of effort. This is the grown up world where you will be held accountable. Get used to it folks.

Interesting teacher who tested fairly and kept your interest. Made you write essays to make sure you read the chapters.

She is a very plesant teacher to have. When shes asks to see you durning an office hour, its only to help, don't be scared (I was the first time) :)

awesome teacher, very sweet and fun to be around. VERY VERY inviting!

Very nice teacher. The subject itself is somewhat difficult, but she does everything to make it easy. Participation is a must in the class and it is very important to meet with her in her office before the research paper is due, because she will take that into consideration and grade you easier. Watch out, her tests are intense!

Took her back in '02. Just graduated from 4 yr. college and still remember stuff I learned in her gender psych class. Group project that I did was useful and relevant. Got a clear distinction of sexuality. Wish I took her for 1A instead of Mannino...oh well!

The class is filled with lectures and the homework is all reading the text. That's all this class is. If you don't take notes she will notice you and tell you to. The grade is based on how well you do on the 100 question multiple choice tests and finals. One cool thing she did before I dropped was brought in a real human brain for us to touch!

I really like Ms. Nasseem class. She is funny, has a great sense of humor, patient with people wanting attention and always answers questions. She seems to enjoy teaching. Her test are not very difficult and she gives a quiz right before the test so you know what to be ready for. She is straightforward and it can be threatening to some. Class is fu

She's from a lot of culture places i think. it was cool to hear the british accent and learn psych. it's all I expected and you can too.

Professor Nasseem seems like a stiff at first, but you gradually realize that she actually just has a quirky sense of humor. She's very smart, but she won't budge at all to help you if you are in a bind (no late hw, no tardies, et cetera) but other than that, definitely recommended for Psych 5.

kind of snotty sometimes, but overall a really good teacher. She knows how to give lectures, goes a good pace, always repeats herself, and I learned A LOT. The trick is to take really good notes. I didn't buy the book,& only actually needed it for the final. All her tests are on her lectures, just dont miss,be late or rude cause she'll call u out.

Certainly more than 8 students remaining. If you walk into her class with a negative attitude, you will leave with one. Stay positive and focused, interact and participate - as with every class - what you put in is what you will get out!

Don't let her strict and intimidating appearance during the first week fool you. She is actually very funny and helpful. Her lectures are always clear, and usually interesting, and she allows a lot of student input and discussion. Reading and regular attendance are required though, especially if you want to ace her long (100-point)but FAIR tests.

definitely buy the book because the tests are completely based on them, not on her lectures. expect to see random topics that she didn't teach on the tests too, it's a nice surprise! i wouldn't take her class again.

Lectures clearly cover all the material for the test. I found textbook unnecessary for 90% of the material, as lectures gave me the necessary understanding. Very helpful outside of class, but tends to expect you to seek her help then rather than in the classroom. Answers most questions after lecture rather than during. All multiple choice tests.

Requires hard work, research and attentive learning. She is not namby-pamby in her teaching style. She doesn't baby students. She expects high standards. She will call you out if you are late or rude, so be polite, attentive, and have an open mind. Great sense of humor, GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS FOR WRITING HELP OR YOU WILL NOT SUCCED IN HER CLASS!

Great instructor. If you want to succeed in her class attendance is key. Test were out of book and lecture. You must do your reading and attend class. Some test ?'s are in lecture, but not in the book, and visa/versa. Very helpful if you see her during office hours. You must work for your grade in this class, but she is fair!

Can be intimidating from the first day with attendance and what she expects but as the semester progresses all she really demands is respect & participation. She challenges you to be awake and confident in finding the answer. Attendance is key. She is really sweet, organized & by the end of the semester she's created a great learning environment.

Passionate on her subject. Expects perfect adherence to syllabus - no late work, etc. Most non-lecture questions are expected to be asked during office hours. Wants concept understanding, not name/date memorization as previous post suggests. Doesn't always give answers that fit the question - but tries to answer any legit lecture question.

Loves her subject but expects students to be at her knowledge level, impossible to get an A in this class. If you know APA style very through then you might get a good grade...very hard teacher wont recommend!

I liked her, she found ways to break up the bore of lecture classes, but I found the tests and quizzes pretty tough. She only graded on the tests, quizzes, and one research paper, so make sure to do them right!

I think her class is easy.The research papers are easy. She is pretty flexible in grading them.The tests and quizes are not hard, just READ!!She is a bit rude at times,and sometimes she makes you get up and "share" jokes with your classmates.I found that dumb and irrelevant.Other than that she is ok, I guess.

There is no screwing around in this class. Your phone goes off, you bring food. You miss an assignment, too bad. Nasseem's attitude is pretentious even as she tries to be "hip." She uses large superfluous words (if you've ever read the "Elements of Style", you'll be grinding your teeth everytime she says "utilize.")

I adore this Professor. Yeah she's a bit abrasive if you're late or disrespectful, but she challenges you to be active and pay attention, exams and lecture are straightforward, and she's downright hilarious! I love her class and don't understand the negative ratings at all. Just be respectful and she won't shoot you down.

She comes off pretty intimidating at first, but i really like her teaching style!

When I first attended her class, it was clear that she has a "no nonsense" attitude. However, she is extremely thorough in covering material and the exams were a cakewalk if you used the provided study guide. The only thing that can be seen as difficult, was the essay that she assigned. Expect to do detailed research on your topic.

Ms. Nasseem is a very interesting teacher, her class is hard but if you meet her during office hours she explains everything.

I have Nasseem for psych 5 and the number of negative reviews surprises me because she is a very kind professor. She is very formal and her lectures are easy to follow. Reading the book reinforces the material, which is easier when studying for her tests. Also make sure to turn your cell phone off unless you want to bring food for the class.

Ms. Nasseem's lectures are very clear and her tests are easy if you pay attention and do the study guides. She is a great teacher, just very serious about teaching.

The class is relatively easy, as long as you show up and take notes you'll do great. There's a study guide for each test and they are really helpful. There's a test every two weeks and two papers, but there is no homework, which I preferred.

Great teacher! She expects you to be an adult in her class and prepares you for university level classes (so don't whine about her not tolerating tardyness or ringing phones). Her class is based on research and fact. If you can't handle her, you probably are not ready for college. She isn't going to baby you or hold your hand through the class but she will teach you alot! She is always willing to help you with anything you have questions about and she hands back assignments in a timely manner.

Nasseem is great. She is unlike any professor I have ever had. She really grabs my attention every class period, all period. She dresses very nice and professionally. Her presence is bold. Like others have said, she does NOT tolerate any rudeness, disruptions, etc. Basically, if you are what a college student should be, then you are all good. :]

I learned a lot in this class. She had great lectures and was very clear with things, in fact she gives you the most specific and easy to follow guidelines for her research paper. She is very professional. It seemed that most people who didn't like her were too immature to be in college. Highly recommend taking her.

Her examples make the terms relate to real life experiences so one sees how real these terms exist as they are present in life. Her lectures are good, as the slides she shows don't contain paragraphs of words and are condensed down to enable easy copying into notes. No problem was seen here, just be open minded with the content, people and class.

The comment right below mine is about Psych 1A because I had the same class. She isn't a horrible inctructor or anything. Just go to class prepared for some information and have your attention there with you because the multiple choice questions on tests call for you to eliminate the wrong answers.

Ms. Nasseem is an excellent professor. She expects a lot from you which made me push myself. Basically all you need to do is attend class, read the book and be willing to discuss. Her enthusiasm in the subject keeps you awaked and excited. Totally enjoyed her class. =0)

I love this teacher. Her lectures really help you get involved with the material and help you understand the world around. Also, her assignments help you learn more about yourself. I have taken two classes with her and would love to take another one. READ the course syllabus. This is your key to passing the class!

She is an awesome instructor! She is extremely hard and expects a lot, but I felt like she did all that she can to help her students learn and succeed. If you make it to the end of a semester, I feel like she facilitates a feeling of family in the class that I have never seen in any other class.

She is very very friendly and makes the classroom very tight knit. I enjoyed that she cared about us and always asked us questions about what we were learning and what was useful. The tests follow the study guides but they arent easy. She has some quirks like her random britsh words and occasional smart remarks but to me it kept class interesting.

Ms. Nasseem is a great instructor. She is very polite and expects the best from her students. This class is not difficult if you take good notes and have a basic level of essay writing skills.

Ms. Nasseem is very respectful and expects the same in return. READ THE SYLLABUS! If you ask her anything that's already in there, she won't even bother answering your question. Tons of lecture, papers are super easy, tests are straight-forward and the information is interesting. Can get dull at times but she is extremely nice overall.

Ms. Nasseem is one of my favorite teachers at the JC. She demands a high level of respect, and can be intimidating at first. However, just get to know her, you will find that she is extremely helpful and genuinely cares about her students. Her lectures are very clear. If you pay attention and take good notes you will do well in the class.

The first few classes, I did not like this teacher at all. Stick with it! I feel she puts on a front to quickly weed out the bad apples. This is truly an enjoyable class!! Her assignments are meaningful and easy to complete. USE YOUR SYLABUS! It gives you EVERYTHING you need to get an A! Great teacher, lots of fun. I'll miss this class!

This is a tough teacher but she relates the material so well to your own life that it is hard not to comprehend what she is trying to teach you. Not the best teacher if you just want to get through an elective but if psych is your major, you couldn't ask for a better professor.

This class changed my life! Professor relates material extremely well with your own personal life. Class is like therapy. Love this professor!

Very interesting class. Instructor is very good at making the subject interesting yet sensitive to the subject matter. She is very clear and concise to her expectations of her students.

Prof Naseem is super funny. She presents everything you need to know, loves to hear student opinions, and is very dynamic. If you're shy though, this isn't the class for you, because she's all about discussion and getting to know eachother. She can also be a bit standoffish to people who don't share her opinion, but overall, a good and easy class.

One of the most amazing teachers I have had. She really makes an effort to get you to really understand her lectures. It's super easy if you go to class and pay attention to her lectures. Her tests may be a little harder, it's 100 questions multiple choice. But I loved the class and I also loved the instructor.

I really liked this course. Ms. Nasseem is very particular about formatting of assignments, if you follow directions and read your textbook you will recieve a good grade. Multiple choice quizzes for each chapter and mult. choice exam for every three chapters, three short papers. She is fairly skilled at using Moodle and was quick with questions.

Nasseem is one of the best teacher I have ever had. Having been at the JC a couple years, she is one that stands out the most. Absolutely loves what she does and knows her facts. Textbooks are easy reads (but I hardly read and got an A), and assignments are easy if guidelines are followed-take her class! (any psych class-I took 2 with her: 1A & 5)

I learned so much in this course. Nasseem is one of the best teachers in the JC. She makes psychology very interesting, enough for me to chose psych as my major. Took three classes with her 1A, 4, & 5. I highly recommend her.

She is a cool person, just not as a teacher. Her lectures are interesting but, her exams are really hard. 100 long questions per exam and there is information on the exams that she does not even go over in class. Not recommended to take her class.

I LOVED this teacher!! she is difficult yes, and does not put up with excuses. You have to work hard in her class but overall I felt like she was very clear and helpful. I learned a lot from her class and I really liked her. Her exams are difficult but as long as you study her slides and read the chapter you should do fine. A+

Her class is pretty easy for the most part, but you have to participate and do all assignments, there were a lot of papers to write about yourself. But overall the class was fun and she was very clear on what was needed from you!

Excellent teacher. Do your assignments.

Nasseem is a great teacher. She know what she's talking about and makes everything interesting! Frequently engages with student and genuinely cares about us, i.e. asking us about our weekends, complimenting haircutsnew styles, etc. Only complaint was that all of the work, is online, as she also teaches online. Tests and quizzes are open book.

In her PSYCH 4 class, I found her class rather easy. Yet, her discussion assigmentsessays, you have to write about your own personal life, rather than the subject of Child & Adolescent Psychology. Be prepared. Take each quiz four times, that way your exams are easier.

She teaches three classes, PSYCH 1A, 4, and 5. I have taken her 4 and 5. In PSYCH 5, like PSYCH 4, I recommend you take each quiz four-five times, to ensure you pass the Exams. However, the papers required for the class, you need to be in-depth with this class. Be prepared. She is a good teacher.

Loved Ms. Nasseem and her class! She is so sweet and thoughtful, she will make you feel great on your worst days! All forums, quizzes and tests are online open book but sometimes can be tough, as long as you have internet access and the book you will be fine! Take this class!!!!!

I've never taken an online class. I was nervous all semester because I took a summer course. It's a lot of work. Surprisingly I passed with a B. The course material itself was worth learning!

Super easy teacher and really interesting subjects that we covered. I took her online class during the summer and it was clear and easy what she wanted from you. However, practice tests and tests seemed to have completely different subjects on them and sometimes the test would have questions that weren't addressed in the book.

Nasseem is a high maintenance teacher. She's pretty clear about everything, but very nitpicky and vocal about it. Her online classes and in-person classes are just as difficult.

First class taken with her out of two and it was hard to work with her on some of her assignments. Don't make no bones about it, because it was taken before the General Psychology class. Took this and another class prior to taking 1A. Both times received an A, but I busted my butt to do so. Would take a third or fourth of her classes if available.

Second class taken with her out of two and it was hard to work with her on some of her assignments. Don't make no bones about it, because it was taken before the General Psychology class. Took this and another class prior to taking 1A. Both times received an A, but I busted my butt to do so. Would take a third or fourth of her classes if available.

Took psych 4 online. Expect to read ti get a decent grade. assignments are easy and not very many. Was an easy A but I'm really interested in the subject. She's really helpful, her moodle site is easy to navigate and you can work ahead if you have time. I Look forward to taking more of her classes.

Very Genuine and Knowledgable, but WILL call you out

I am rating this professor 4 years later. Looking back, I'd say this class COULD have been an EASY A.. I enjoyed her! I still see this professor in the hallway and say hello. She's awesome! She was always there for me when I needed help. When I took this class, there was a lot of group circle chats. Expect to speak to the whole class!

Loved her class !

She is an awesome teacher

She is a nice lady and a good teacher but she does not cover any of the material that is on her tests in her lectures. You have to read 4 chapters for each exam each of which is 40 pages. Open Note. You are able to retake the quizzes as many times as you want. I didn't read for the quizzes but read for the exams. I got a B because I forget a paper.

I took Nasseem for Abnormal Psych. She was the best professor I've ever had. She is intelligent, well-spoken, and thoughtful. She is respectful and expects the same respect in return. Class lectures were important, not a class to miss. Also, a decent amount of reading. I wouldn't have passed the exams or quizzes without reading the material.

awesome professor! i took hr for psych 4 as well only wish i would have taken in person. Psych 5 was so awesoem especially with a teacher so devoted to her profession. Helps you understand theories and does group activities. I love her!

She's understanding and has a big heart. Explains the lecture well, does in class and online discussions. She reminds everyone that we are all normally abnormal. Her lectures a raw and she doesn't bite her tongue when speaking about controversial topics. Homework: lots to read, but doable, flexible with homework/quizzes due dates & times. Flexible!

Awesome instructor! I learned so much from her. Her class is the reason why I changed my major to psychology. I took her for Psych 1A, Child Psych, and Abnormal Psych. Loved all my classes. Highly recommend her!

I took this class online and thought it was great. You did have to read the textbook, but it was full of interesting information and I felt like I learned a lot. Quizzes were challenging, but doable. Clear grading criteria and easy grader. Solid choice for your next psych teacher.

I really enjoyed her class. I took her for PSYCH 5 and PSYCH 4 and she's just wonderful. Her exams aren't too difficult if you listen in class. Make sure to take notes! We learned a lot of interesting things. I really enjoyed the end of her class because she made the whole class have a discussion and give each other compliments.

I love her lectures, she cares about what is going on in our daily life. She asks a lot of questions in class and expects you to answer as you should as a student. Homework is simple, instructions are clear, and overall she's a very pleasant person. This class will make you think. Read the textbook and engage in lectures and you'll be fine.

Very strict at first and for the first month you will be very overwhelmed but once you are in the swing of it you learn a lot. Very nice lady but can be tough.

Great class! You really get the feeling that Ms Nasseem really cares about you as a student, it makes for a really fun learning environment.

I loved taking class with Prof. Nasseem. She was not a hard teacher at all. Her quizzes and tests were easy if you take good notes in class (i copied the board word for word) and study hard. She was always available during her scheduled office hours and i frequently went to them to ask questions. Nasseem truly cares about student success.

This class was not difficult. We mostly just followed her explain topics from a powerpoint and we took notes. I took good notes every class and reviewed them to study for the exams. The exams reflected the material taught in the classroom. I just studied my notes in order to do well in the class. The exams were a bug part of the total grade.

I loved taking this class with her! Honestly, the material was not that interesting to me but the way she talked about it with such enthusiasm kept me hooked. Tests and quizzes were easy. I could not ask for a better psychology professor than this one.

Narmeen was a clear cut professor. She had high expectations for us students and treated us all like adults. I like how she had fun with her lectures and made the class more enjoyable. The tests are a major part of the grade and are all pretty similar. They are all multiple choice.

I took Psych 1A with Narmeen and I liked her class. She was pretty relaxed and made sure to actually teach us the subject instead of teaching to the test. Hopefully, my priority is high enough so I can register for her Psych 3 class next semester. She is such a great professor.

This class wasnt as bad as I see the other ratings to be. Theres weekly quizzes on the assigned readings, 5 exams, and 4 essay discussions. Answers of the tests are in the book; pretty straightforward. Her discussions are a little confusing because she said no in text citations but then required 4 in text citations. No exceptions on late work.

This was the first college course I took and I enjoyed it. The class has a lot of discussions and does require certain word count usually, but never anything unrealistic. She doesn't do extra credit or do late work, so it is best to complete all assignment s on time. Instructions on some assignments can be wordy and confusing, but that is really it
