She gets kinda off subject. Sometimes it seems like she doesnt know what shes teaching. 3 Critical Thinking Papers, 2 pages long. Her tests are kinda hard and worded weird. You are supposed to read the book before you come to class, then she goes over that section in powerpoints. She reminds me of a kindergarten teacher sometimes.
She makes us use name tags. she doesnt teach because she thinks its our job to read the book before class(so what are they paying her for?) and most of our class meetings involve us going in groups and doing class activity! waste of time felt like a learned nothing.
Awful instructor who is all over the place. She thinks that everyone is a Psychology major who wants to do research. The class is boring and I hate attending it. The group activities are not helpful and really don’t teach us anything.
Not very good at teaching. She goes over power-points which basically regurgitates what we were "supposed to read" in the text book before class. She makes everyone participate and there are many useless group activities. We get no credit for doing this. Her grading scale is poor I think about 4 tests and 3 papers and THATS IT! very frustrating
She is a great teacher. She does a lot of group participation activities that might help you learn along the way. Her tests are pretty much what was covered in class if you read your powerpoints or even pay attention in class you will pass. She's really good!
the class was tough and i did not like the grading format of 4 tests and a couple learning tasks, however she is a very nice teacher who wants the best for her students
This Professor is one of the best teachers I have ever had!! Yes you read the chapter & then she goes over on powerpoint to make sure you understand & know what is important. Like a good teacher does! Group activities are very helpful to make you understand & makes class not boring. Show up & pay attention & you'll get an A. It's as simple as that!
This class was easy for me, because I have had experience with other psychology classes. Dr. Franco is very nice, gives out some extra credit on tests. Just pay attention to the powerpoint slides, take notes, be involved in the class lectures! There were only three tests, and the "final" we had an option of opting out , take her class, easy A or B.
Completely horrible. She is the type of person you cannot take seriously as a teacher. Every class she lectures with powerpoints which all of it is extremely unclear. The only way to get a good grade is to memorize the book. Attending her class is pointless. She issues "Learning tasks" which teach a bunch of useless information. Run from her!
Hated the class and teacher. This is my major and she ruined it for me. I have 2 pick another major. Worst personality. Not personable at all. Not helpful. Take someone else or pick another major bcuz u'll hate psyhology. Wouldnt recommend 2 my worst enemy.
Professor should stick to something else becuz she's a terrible teacher. Group activities are designed for middle school and she doesn't know how to express herself and has no idea how to get teach. Terrible communicator. Needs to stick to research & nothing else.
Professor Franco is an excellent professor.She teach very well.She uses the powerpoint presentation to cover from the book.She is very helpful in answering questions and to help you understand the work.I took her class and got an A.She is very nice.Her test is based on what she explained in class.Great Great professor.Take her class and get an A.
Great Great professor.Take her class and easily get an A.
professor Franco is simply amazing,she is an excellent teacher in this field.I took her class and got an A.her tests is based on the powerpoints,she gave extra credit,she grade fairly.if you take notes and pay attenion you're on her way of gettin an A.
Dr. Franco is a wonderful teacher. There was a lot of interactive projects and hands on learning. Class discussions were very engaging. I'm planning on taking another course with her next semester.
I got an A in the class but had to teach myself because Dr. Franco doesn't teach. She should be locked up in a laboratory somewhere conducting research. I have no idea why anyone would hire her to teach Psychology because she can't. Horrendous instructor who has an awful rapport with students. Stay away.
This woman is horrible and the reason she doesn't teach is because she can't! She thinks everyone is a psychology major when in reality no one cares!!! She's the worst! She can't do her job right at all. She expects us to know what to read before coming to class and gives us these dumb learning tasks and learning curves that makes no sense at all!
She's a really good teacher, also very fair. She makes sure you know what will be on the exam. If you take her open college course the best way to study is by doing the learnign curves until you know them 100% I did that and got an A on both exams without reading the book!
Amazing professor! Knowledgeable, kind, warm..keeps the class interesting, not just a boring lecture as you would expect. Keeps you interested and interactive with the topic. If you fail this class its because you wanted to. Very willing to help you succeed, even gives study guides and practice questions for exams. Great professor and person.
Dr. Franco is amazing she made the class so interesting and alive. You have learning tasks and online quizzes which are super easy and some you might see on exams. For exams you really need to study and if you have any questions you can email her or go to her office she is always willing and happy to help. She was honestly my favorite teacher.
She is very quiet. Im taking her blended class. We do absolutely nothing in class but get and groups and talk to each other while she does nothing. She requires us to use psychportal which I think is an awful website because it is extremely slow and not responsive. I would of withdrawn but the date was the same a the start date of the class.
Super nice teacher she makes the class somewhat interesting since her class is a student led class with the discussions. our midterm was about fifty questions I didn't study at all I crammed for about two hours and got a 79 so you can kinda see where im going with it. must read the text though and psychportal is a must if you wanna pass
It really was a pleasure taking her class. She is professional, engaged in the material and provides you with the tools you need to succeed through lessons and homework. It is a writing credit course, so expect some writing assignments. She made the class interesting and I feel that she explains things perfectly well. Great professor overall.
This lovely professor was the sweetest. She tried her best to make sure every student knew the materials for each class lesson. I enjoyed seeing her every morning and making her day with my morning greetings. I would recommend her to other students. Just like every other professor, the class is easy as long as you pay attention and do your work.
Dr. Franco is my favorite professor I've taken so far at BC. She is extremely helpful and very kind. I was actually a little nervous at first because of some of the reviews on here, but she is actually very nice and the class is interesting and you'll learn without being stressed out. It was a fun class too!! Take her.
She's a nice lady and knows her stuff but not a good teacher. She focuses too much on research and not enough on the Psychology content. if you want to be a researcher take her. If you want to learn Psychology stay away from Dr. Franco.
Ugh! Repeat that a million times! She's all over the place! Read the book! Take good notes on the book! Get ready to discuss EVERYTHING wyour neighbor! Big grp proj spans whole term. If you do all online assign, you'll do well on tests. Lg PPT at end. Very disorganized but can be helpful privately.
Very nice lady but is not very clear in explaining what she explains for assignments. Usually posts assignments online the night before they are due. An A is possible but she's super specific. I barely learned anything about psychology in this class. She also assigns alot of busy work
She is a nice professor but not the test are a little hard.
She is not a good professor AT ALL!! The whole semester she puts you in groups and has you do group work and doesn't teach a thing. Not helpful and you basically teach yourself with the homework online. I feel like I could have gotten an A if she taught but I received a C.
Excellent teacher!! Great role model and brilliant mind. If you cannot pass this class you either didn't try at all or you are looking for someone to always hold your hand. This is college, it is time to be responsible.
Amazing class and GREATEST professor ever!!!!! Dr. Franco is my first professor for psychology and just by taking her class I learned so much. Class is so fun. Not all lectures off a slideshow, but you actually talk in this class and get to learn everything with her and your classmates. Recommend to everyone!!!!!! Best professor I've met by far
Horrible experience taking her class for psy2012.. I had to take this class with another professor. Her teaching style is not all that great. You will talk to your classmates way more in the many GROUP projects than the amount of time she lectures. I would find a better professor who actually teaches. This class makes psychology boring.
Mostly an online class. We met once a week and each week there was an assignment due as well as the online assignments. I completed 3/4 of the work online and passed with an A. Tests were easy to me. It's best to take this class when the information is fresh in your mind from high school.
Amazing Professor. She is always there for students who are motivated. Her classes are more like discussions rather than lectures. You have to study and read if you want to pass the class.
The only issue I have she doesn't give us a study guide for our final exam I really feel that's stupid we have other classes to study and she thinks that everything that she taught us would stay in our minds she's a good teacher don't get me wrong the thing is I have 4 classes and I need a study guide if I fail I will blame her
Having her as my professor really made the class more interesting. There are a lot of class discussions. There's quite a lot of group work. Participation is a must. Really connects with her students. I took this class as an 8 week course so there was a lot of online work/tests but easy if you study & read the textbook. Overall great teacher :-)
Dr. Franco is an amazing teacher and she makes the class super easy. She gives lots of extra credit and all tests are online and answers can be googled. The final exam was hard but by some miracle I passed with a 90. As long as u go to class and try and talk to her you'll pass.
Dr. Franco is an excellent professor for blended courses. When you come to class, you participate in activities that help you learn the material. The journals are also very helpful. The midterm and final are from the class notes. Show up to class and pay attention. There is a simple group project. Read the textbook. She is so helpful.
Extremely helpful. Unique teaching style which encourages class participation instead of just standing and lecturing nonstop. Genuinely cares about her students and makes the extra time to spend with you if needed. Some online assignments, a group project, and a few in-class exams but none of it is rocket science. One of the best professors at BC.
This was my first semester at BC and I was super nervous taking her class. I thought I was gonna either pass this class with a C or fail. But I was wrong, I passed her class with an A. She is THE BEST professor anyone could have. She is very supportive and very helpful. Just do her work and pay attention to the her lectures and you'll pass easily
This class was a joke. She makes us wear name tags because she says that she cannot remember things, and doesn't teach us anything. All she wants to do is research and critical thinking activities. You won't learn anything about Psychology so do yourself a favor and stay away from Franco.
Dr. Franco was very nice to work with in PSY2012. She's very helpful, caring, and interactive with her class. There were a few critical thinking analyses, online quizzes, and a final. The semester I took her, our final exam we were paired up with a partner, did the exam alone then compared answers with our partner. It was cool. I received an A in the class.
Dr. Franco helped me understand and love research. It is her passion and if you plan on graduating with a Psych degree, you NEED to know this stuff. She gets excited when students WANT to learn and will do anything in her power to help you succeed. Other students that graded her poorly, clearly do not care about getting a great college education.
All she cares about is research. If you want to learn Psychology take someone else. If you want to read articles all day and write summaries this class is for you.
The professor makes it clear why we do the assignments and she makes sure the material applies to my life. I am so glad I took this class because it will help me with my career working with children. Don't take this class if you don't like to work. The class goes very fast and the online assignments are worth half of your grade.
Do yourself a favor and take your psychology classes with someone else or somewhere else!!
If you are looking for a blended class this is the class for you. A lot of the work is done online and it is fast paced because it's only 8 weeks. Group discussions and activities and in class writing are very helpful. There are easy reading quizzes. If you want someone to lecture to you, don't take this class. You have to be motivated to learn.
Amazing Professor!! you are not just a number you are an individual that she cares about and if you EVER need assistance she is there to help. She respects the fact that you the the time to come see her and that you try! HOWEVER! this is an accelerated course and it is demanding. If you are looking for an "easy class" don't count on this one.
The BEST! Understanding, cares about her students, and wants you to succeed. Classes are interactive and discussion-based, so participation is key. Fun to go to, and I've never been more inspired to learn. If you put in effort, you'll do great. Gives detailed study guides for quizzes and good at replying to emails (uses reassuring smiley faces).
Be ready to wear a name-tag and enter kindergarten again. She says that is our job to teach ourselves and she's only there to discuss research with us. Avoid at all cost.
When I first took this class I heard about how fast paced it was and how much work you had to do, I was nervous. Dr. Franco was the most understanding professor I've ever had. I enjoyed being challenged to participate in discussions and listening to her stories that related to the topics we were learning. She has one of the best teaching styles!
good teaching style, gives a lot of work but its very inspirational and makes you think. gives you reasons for why you're doing the work and how it relates to the work. if you don't like participation this class is not for you.
She does way too many group activities and if you get paired with someone who does not do work then you are stuck. Grades were primarily based on discussions and projects. I love psychology but she made it so boring and I regret taking her. I usually get As but she gave me my first B at Broward college. She is very unfair and does not care.
The most life-changing professor! If you want to be excited to LEARN, take her class. Put effort and participate! She loves to hear opinions and base her teaching style off of what the students need. Everything is interactive and meant to improve you. We worked in groups, had a guest speaker, and even went out into the field. She deserves a 5!
Dr. Franco is awesome! She is by far the most caring professor I've encountered. The blended 8-week course is VERY fast though, so you'll have to get serious and put the time in. Dr. Franco gives you every chance to succeed, I would highly recommend her! :D
Hey! This course is blended so half of your class will be online and then the other half in person with her. She is an amazing professor, such a an amazing spirit, she's the type a professor that wants you to get the most out of your learning.
One of the few who cares. There's so much more to describing Dr. Franco & her class than 3 tags allows. Yes, there are a lot of group projects, but don't let that intimidate you! Coming from someone who prefers working independently, she makes groups/discussions engaging. If you keep up & COMMUNICATE, you will take away much more than expected.
Literally amazing. She is always looking for ways to get yourself engaged with the classmates around you. She tries hard to incorporate all types of learning styles into her lectures.
She really cares about her students and is always available for help. Theres quite a bit of work online, but it really helps understand the book. It helped me for the tests. She isn't a tough grader with the group assignments and is very understanding. I really learned and retained a lot from her lectures. Be sure to do the online work!
Dr. Franco is awesome! She is so knowledgeable about the subject and has engaging lectures. She wants to help her students learn information that applies directly to their lives. She is very caring, nice and a great professor. I would highly recommend!
Dr. Franco is one of my favorite professors to date. It is a blended course so there is some reading and HW before class, but it is very manageable. She makes sure class time is engaging and meaningful so it is worth your time. You learn so much about topics applicable to our real lives. She cares deeply about her students and is willing to help.
Dr. Franco is my favorite professor to date. I have never felt more invested in a subject before and I think it mostly has to do with the level of instruction and the care for which Dr. Franco teaches. She is always available for feedback and to help brainstorm ideas and topics that one is having a hard time with. I wouldnt pass this class up.
I took this class with Dr. Franco as a blended class at central campus in session 2. She is the most caring person! You will do work online, but that will help you learn psychology and the class time will be application. Dr. Franco is passionate about psychology and will help you relate psychology to your life. You will be glad you took this class!
Dr. Franco was easily my favorite instructor this semester. Highly approachable, really kind, and the class as a whole just was a blast. One thing I will say, though... The podcast was not fun. But again, this class really was a blast.
Professor Franco has been one of the best professor Ive had. shes very flexible with the work, quizzes and homework! Teaches and explains very well.!!
It's blended so get ready to do busy work. The quizzes aren't hard. I got an A+ and I didn't really study anything at all.
I loved Professor Franco. We had to switch to virtual learning due to the pandemic and she did so seamlessly and with great empathy for her students. She didn't bother dragging out our virtual meetings and allowed us to use that time to do our assignments. Class discussions were engaging and welcoming. She communicates well and offers resources.
Dr. Franco is literally the best Professor or teacher Ive had. I love her lectures and how much she cares about her students. She is like no other and I highly recommend you taking her class if you want to learn about psychology and about yourself!
My favorite class!
By far, one of the best classes Ive ever taken! Shes so great and understanding. She does everything to help her students achieve their highest potential. She is always available outside of class and is always ready to help you. She was very understanding towards the pandemic easy assignments, easy quizzes, no tests, and an easy final project.
Best teacher! So easygoing and so understanding. Just listen to her in class and youll get an A. Would definitely recommend taking her if you have the chance.
She gives several extra credit opportunities through the semester, and she is very understanding. She also makes sure that the students understand each lecture.
Dr. Franco is by far my favourite professor so far. She goes above and beyond for her students and is very passionate about her work. With the whole zoom learning I was really nervous that I would just fall asleep in that class but she's so engaging that its not possible. Amazing lady, wont regret it, Don't fall behind also extra credit if needed.
One of the best teachers Ive ever taken. She was amazing and kept our focus every class and was always available if you ever had any questions or needed help. Would definitely take again.
Dr. Franco is a wonderful psychology professor. You can tell she cares about the subject and her students. She is always available to communicate outside of class if you have any questions. There are also many extra credit opportunities. You will learn a lot with her!
Dr. Franco is such a great teacher! I highly recommend taking her class. She is so caring and really puts in the effort to help her students succeed. Overall, she is an amazing teacher and her class is easy you just have to do your homework and attend class. Highly recommend Dr. Franco for psy, she is the best.
probably one of the best professors broward has!! Shes sweet and always has your best interest in mind. She always is working with you to ensure you get good grades so it really is hard to fail this class. Even in this pandemic shes going strong. I love Dr. Franco and truly and thankful she helped me break out of my shell this semester!!!
Dr. Franco is amazing! She is kind, caring and tries to make the format of her class fun and interesting. Taking her class during a pandemic, she used multiple ways to keep us engaged while on Zoom. If you fall behind, she is right there trying to motivate you on. Do yourself a favor and take her class. You won't regret it.
Nathalie Franco is the most inspiring teacher I've had at BC. She is so motivating and loves to get to know her students! I loved how involved she is with creating and maintaining a sense of community even through zoom. She also is heavily involved in the Psychology honors society. Overall, she is a life changing teacher!
If youre interested in taking psychology, pick Dr. Franco. I was so impressed by how engaging she is and caring towards her students. The class is honestly fun and shes very understanding and wants everyone to do well. There arent many teachers like her, do yourself a favor and take her class! One of my favorite educational experiences ever (:
Dr. Franco is one of the most caring professors, I've had so far. She makes learning such a difficult topic simple and enjoyable. She is very understanding and ensures that everyone in her class feels comfortable. She also makes an effort to make the lesson as interactive as possible and isn't lecture-heavy, so you won't' feel overwhelmed.
I love Dr. Franco and her class! You actually learn and as long as you do the work and participate, you will pass! She really cares about students and wants us to learn! She made me feel so comfortable and she is always ready to help! If you are thinking about taking her class, do it!
She really nice, participation is really important to her and is counted against you on your final grade. She is big on group work and getting to know each other. We mainly used launchpad and that was a big part of our grade. Overall, she's super nice and you can take her 6-week course and still pass with an A.
Professor Franco loves to engage with her students and she's clear with her instructions. Make sure you complete your work and ask questions when you need to. She also gives great feedback and makes you re-do your work so she'll grade it again for you. I'd recommend taking her!
She is a great professor. Her curriculum is planned very well and she is fully invested in her students success. Also, her lectures are fun and interesting. Overall, this was the best class i have taken so far! I 100% recommend taking her class.
Dr. Franco's class was pretty easy and prior knowledge makes it easier. Dr. Franco was very kind and understanding. For example, if you missed an assignment you could make it up if you have an explanation. The textbook is online and she uses a platform called Slack to communicate with you. Slack is easy to use and you get to collaborate with peers.
this professor is by far the most caring & most impactful teacher i've met she is attentive to every student her lectures show her passion of the topic she made sure we truly understood connect was easy to follow thanks to her her material was personalized not copied from book in person was really engaging but being online she's just as great
She's a good professor, very long lectures, they are boring though, when took her she did not have a final exam...for the final exam we had to write paper about what we learned in her class. She was so nice give great feedback on assignments and pointed you to resources to help. You need the textbook, because that's where the HW is.
She is a great professor definitely would recommend her to everyone i really enjoyed talking her class.
I 110% recommend her class, she so easy to learn from and the way she puts her material together makes it easy to learn. I got an A+
if you can take her class, DO IT. I've never enjoyed a class more than this one. Not only were the ppl amazing but you can tell she truly cares about everyone. She loves getting to know everyone, im gonna miss her so freakin much. You can tell she loves teaching her students. if you see this franco imma miss you for real love ya bestie
She is so caring, and loves all of her students/job. She gives you a calandar in the beginning of the year so you already know what to expect the rest of the semester and we have an ebook that has assignemnts due everyweek. You just need to keep track of that and you will get a good grade. I would take this class again and I loved the Professor.
Professor Franco was honestly one of the best professors iv'e had. She's funny and sweet and cares about her students. The class was basically an easy A as long as you do all the work on time
Don't take this class if you are not willing to put in the time. You will have around 5 homework assignments each week. You will have to go to class in order to receive participation points. She is otherwise amazing and genuinely respects and cares for each and every student.
Dr. Franco is very kind caring and understanding. You will not regret taking her class. There are weekly assignments on launchpad but not hard if you read the material. She is big on class participation but she made me feel very comfortable to speak up during class. I would highly recommend to anyone interested. Show up and do the work you'll pass.
This teacher is wonderful. If you participate and pay attention, you'll understand the lectures easily. If you show you care for the class, she'll be willing to open up missing assignments for you. She doesn't grade hard. Overall she cares about her students and even though I got a B, she helped me a lot. Her class is easy. TAKE IT :)
