Dr. Brandt is by far my favorite professor at CSCC! She is very helpful with the case study assignments and other assignments she gives the students. I highly recommend her! You will not be dissappointed.
While going over suicide in my Abnormal Psychology class, I had a suicide of a dear friend, and she went ABOVE and BEYOND anything I could ever expect from a teacher at Columbus State, or anywhere for that matter. Not only did she catch me up on classes that I missed, but she gave me resources for me and friends to help in the situation! I3her!
Dr. Brandt is an exceptional teacher!! She is very straight forward with her lectures and grading. She uses every day examples so its easier to relate the material your choice of career. There is a homework assignment about once a week but all relates to the material. She does extra credit and her exam study guides are very well done!
Dr. Brandt is an excellent teacher. She is very open to feedback, has a good sense of humor, is very fair and is very sensitive and tactful, especially given the material taught. I highly recommend her.
A very fair, beautiful, well-educated, passionate woman. There is no reason you will not love this professor. Pop quizzes are given for extra credit so show up for class! Very clear and well-organized lectures.
Nicole is one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is EXTREMELY warm, friendly, and helpful. She answers any and all questions, explains assignments well, and gives feedback for all assignments and tests. I highly recommend taking her courses. She is pleasant to be around and fun to work with. :)
Nicole Brandt is one of the nicest professors at Columbus State. She understands when stuff gets in the way of school, and she is there for you. If you try in this class you will do great!
This teacher is kind, fair, fun, and just plain phenomenal! Hands down the best teacher I've had thus far. Her lectures are actually tolerable! She uses video examples and makes it fun! You can tell she cares about her students &wants everyone to enjoy class. I would definitely take her class, you won't regret it.
Dr. Brandt is really nice to everyone and she takes care of all her students. Even though PSY2331 is a tough class, I love her teaching anyway.
I loved her, I think in these kind of courses it's so important for the professor to be passionate about what they are teaching and she absolutely was, and takes her job very seriously. She used personal stories related to topics we were learning about, but was good about staying on topic & making sure material was understood.
Wonderful. Works hard to make sure every student has their questions answered and helps them fully.
I absolutely love this teacher. She is so sweet and really cares about her students and you can tell she wants everyone to do well. I received a B in this class because I was taking a heavy work load and did not study for any tests but it is very easy to get an A. One of my favorite professors so far. Also, lots of extra credit opportunity'
DrBrandt is the best professor and actually cares I started out after first exam with a low D she took her time after class to meet with me She genuinely cares if you do and take the initiative I wish I needed to take more psychology classes im actually going to take one i don't have to before i transfer just so I can have her She is the Best ever
Professor Brandt is a very caring person and she shows it in class with her students. She want to make sure you understand the class and goes the extra mile to make it an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has to take this class. She's an excellent teacher and her door is always open for her students.
4 total exams, a lot of reading and applying terms to life situations, ready to answer questions when asked.
All psych 1100 web classes contain the same content, design, and layout but Dr. Brandt is THE BEST choice for taking the web section of this class. She communicates with the class regularly and answers questions by email in great detail, very quickly. She cares about her students and her door is always open- I highly recommend her!
Prof. Brandt is awesome! She's very kind and respectful and she grades fairly. You get out of what you put into this class. She likes group assignments but they are very easy. She does several different types of learning styles (videos, group work, ppt, service learning). She excellent at explaining things! I would give her a perfect score!
There's not enough words to describe how much of a great prof she is. Shes knowledgeable, very genuine, and will go above and beyond to help you pass. I wish she could be my prof for every class. You will enjoy her class.
I can't believe I was so lucky to have Dr. Brandt as a professor. Her online class is stellar. I actually want to take psych again so I can have her in person rather than online. She provides everything and more that you would need to ace her class, sends weekly emails and reminders and is so accommodating. Best professor ever!!!!!!
Wonderful.
Dr. Brandt is one of the best professors I have ever had. Her lectures are entertaining and informative - it's the best lecture class I've ever taken. She gives incredible advice that can be applied to real life. I know it seems like I'm up-talking her, but I really truly can't recommend her classes enough.
Very knowledgeable, interesting, and funny. Extremely nice.
Truly one of the best professors at cscc. She cares for all of her students and does everything she can to help them pass. You can tell she is passionate about her job and her students. Her lectures are nothing but amazing and she uses her real life experiences and examples to move the class along. I am always excited for her class. Wonderful
Phenomenal. Bridges the gap for distances learners, responds quickly and thoroughly to emails, updates info often, work is textbook, not too hard but not easy, you will learn in her class. She is really kind and truly wants you to succeed. Provides a ton of resources
She is everything you would want in a professor. It was an online class but she made it feel like in class. She sends email beginning of the week remaining everyone on what needs to be done. Responds to emails quickly, in all shes amazing. Take her class and you will fall in love with psychology but be ready to read.
Prior to taking the class I read on line reviews about Prof. Brandt and I figured the reviews were to good to be true, to my surprise they are not. She is excellent! Very responsive, very direct with whats to be expected and just a flat out great professor. Take her class if you have a chance, you can thank me later!
The class was fine and Dr. Brandt herself was fine but she didn't really do anything. All of the reading and homework was done and graded through a poorly designed 3rd party website. She didn't design or grade any of the exams, or provide any of the lectures herself. All the lectures are "video lectures" featuring other professors.
Her study guides are straight forward on what you need to know, and if you study that you'll pass easy. Homework is based on doing some work at home then attending class to participate on a worksheet. She lets you earn up to 20 points of extra credit and always has some extra credit on the tests. Great with answering any questions you have.
Dr. Brandt is the most inspiring professor I've ever had. Her lectures are fantastic, she makes it easy to learn, and makes you want to come to class. Even if you aren't a psych major, take her class before you leave cstate!
Dr Brandt is the best instructor and she made my psy2340 very easy for me
Her test are exactly what she goes over within the classroom. Answers questions respectfully and always makes sure that you understand her. Personalizes the classroom to how the students learn. If you have the chance take her!
Dr. Brandt is one of my favorite instructors of all-time now! She has unique activities to make sure she makes learning fun, and they were very helpful. Most of work done online, I took the blended course. 4 exams, as long as you do your work and go over the terms you will do great! Amazing course, I learned a lot about myself and others.
I would defiantly recommend Dr. Brandt. She is very involved. Her main goal seems to be to give accelerate and further your education. She is very caring and wants what's best for her students, and gets back to you very quickly (Also a bonus). She is very organized, and easy to understand. She is defiantly the best professor I have ever had.
I loved Professor Brandt. There was so much communication. I feel like her main objective really was to help us learn as much as we could. Psych ended up being my favorite class of the semester instead of just a prerequisite and I was able to develop a new interest. I would recommend her 100% and I would take another class by her.
Dr Brandt was an amazing professor! I had her for Psych 1100 and I passed the class with an A. She is very sweet and her class is pretty straightforward; You know what is expected of you. Simply participate in class, do your online homework, and you will do well on the exams. Definitely would take her class again!
Dr. Brandt was exceptionally one of the best instructors I have had so far with my experience at Columbus State. Her lectures were informative and neatly organized. She is very passionate about the material that she teaches and created a comfortable learning environment for all. She is quick to answer questions and overall is a caring individual!
Shes a very good professor who knows how to teach her students the subject.
Professor Brandt truly is the ideal professor. Not only does she use real life examples from her time in the field and have amazing lecture making sure the whole class understands everything, but she just has such a genuine vibe to her. She makes sure to truly listen to every student and doesnt come off as anything other than the sweetest human!!!
Dr. Brandt is an exceptionally intelligent professor. She truly cares about her students and makes her lectures interesting, which is engaging. I believe she is one of the best professors here, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She uses the textbook for online homework assignments, and her exams will be fine depending on if you study.
Greatest professor i've ever had! She cares about her students and makes herself available outside of class! Word of advice just study all her study guides and you will get an A, her test is exactly the study guide.
she crushes it. take this class, she helps you out hardcore if you have any questions. I had an 88 in the class and she gave out a 15 point extra credit at the end of semester and it boosted me to an A. you will have to study, but its interesting material.
Lots of assignments, I took the B term course and it was pretty easy. 3 exams and final are all 100 questions and follow exactly what you've learned and read. Just participate in the discussion boards, read the assigned chapters and complete the assignments and study guides its an easy A.
Recommend this teacher for any Psychology course.
Dr. Brandt is amazing! Love her so much! She is a great professor, give great lectures, feedback, and really cares about your academic success.
I really enjoyed Dr. Brandt and would recommend her to anyone. She was always quick to respond if I emailed her. As long as you do the work, you will get an A. Tests are straight from the material.
Literally probably one of the best professors I have had at C-State. Although an online course, her video lectures were so personable and full of incredible information. She responded in a timely manner to emails and made sure that we had plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Challenged me & made me think and made it all so relatable to life.
My favorite professor by far. She always gave fantastic feedback, and if you ever made any mistakes she was always accessible via Email and she told you exactly what went wrong, and how to do better next time. Definitely looking into taking more classes with her in the future! She is also very accommodating with emergencies and other accommodation
This class requires a lot of reading and work but I must say the professor was great. She did a good job at explaining all of the work for the week and I liked the set up of her online class. The only thing was I felt like she was kind of disconnected with the class but I never really needed her for any help since everything was set up great!
easy for the most part just be super detailed in the discussion boards!!!!
She was amazing and caring. Light work load. Lots of extra credit
Dr. Brandt was amazing. If you check blackboard and your email, you will never forget about an assignment in her class. Shes willing to work with you and truly wants the best for all her student. If you study and stay up on assignments, you should pass with no issues. Weekly work and exams can be a lot, but she provides the tools to succeed! 10/10
If you have the chance to take a course from Dr. Brandt, you must do so. PSY 2261 was one of the most interesting courses I've ever taken. Dr. Brandt is incredibly caring and really knows her stuff. Her lectures capture you and her assignments make you think but are also fun. Highly recommend this course and Dr. Brandt!
This was my first college class and Dr. Brandt gave me a really good experience. I took her fully web intro to psych course over the summer. She was attentive and always available. Dr. Brandt is very clear in her instructions and grading. I had 3 exams and a final. Has some extra credit options available. Really adaptable and caring.
Loved taking this class with Dr Brandt! Gives great explanations and examples about the concepts covered in the course, and is very passionate about the material. Highly recommend.
Was pretty hands off and was also flexible with timing and working with you on turn in dates.
By far the best professor I've ever had. She allows for late work if you can't turn it in on time, there is extra credit, and so many opportunities for an A. She is a very nice teacher and genuinely cares for and helps her students. Cannot fit how great she was and how she makes psychology interesting in here!!!!!
The discussion posts are easy, studying for the exams was the more challenging part. TAKE NOTES.
Professor Brandt was fantastic. She is very understanding surrounding emergencies if you need to make up an exam. Hardest part were the 4 exams, STUDY STUDY STUDY, very straightforward class and you will get an A if you are willing to put the time into studying.
She's just the best. She's so sweet and kind, she really engages her students and is really caring. Participation in class is important, but she really makes it interesting and is happy to listen to students experiences and their takes she helps guide class discussion. Looking for a good Psych Prof? Take her class. Period.
This class was very independent and everything was laid out for me to be able to speed through the class on my own. I didn't need to interact with the professor much, which I think is a good thing. There weren't many grades, but they were all easy As.
Loved her! She clearly cares about what she's teaching and her students. She is very clear about topics that will be on exams and uses in class group and independent activities to really solidify the material. Extra credit opportunities are regularly available. Her lectures are interesting and understandable, often uses real world examples.
Highly recommend for a social science class. TONS of extra credit opportunities. She will meet with you if you need help with anything or just need extra examples. Communicates very well with weekly emails. Highly organized and grades very quickly.
Professor Brandt is really caring and willing to work with her students. If you ever have a problem, you can email her and she will help. Definitely recommend.
I was nervous about taking a college class for the first time, especially online, but I was quick to adjust to her class because she was always clear on what we needed to do for the week and when an exam would be coming up. There was a discussion board almost every week, along with mini assignments that went with the chapter(s).
Discussion board almost every week, three exams and one final exam, extra credit opportunities, and easy mini assignments for the chapter (s) assigned each week. Pretty easy class if you just take the time to study. The exams were the only difficult part. Dr. Brandt is very nice and understanding. There's a lot of assignments, but not hard at all.
I would definetly reccomend Dr. Brandt as a professor. She is very kind and genuinely cares about her students and wants them all to succeed. She always responds to emails fairly quickly and takes the time to help you when you are in need of it.
As long as you read the textbook and think of how to apply her key concepts to real-life scenarios you should be fine, her exams seem to use more real-life problems than just definitions. She also is kind of hard on grading discussion board posts, make sure to answer every part of the prompt.
She is very caring and respectful towards her students I have no doubt in mind she wants us to do well. However this class is VERY hard. You are given an online textbook(each chapter has about 30 pages) and then you answer questions about what you read. It is very diffucult to actually retain information with her format of the online textbook.
Dr. Brandt is probably the best professor I've ever had. I cannot say enough great things about her. Lectures are engaging and class-driven. Assignments are relevant and sometimes pretty fun. The exams are no joke but if you study thoroughly you will do well. She is seriously just so great, she also supported me with personal stuff out of class.
She care about her students. Show up to class do best by putting your effort then you will do great. There 4 exams and final paper but that was easy.
The tests were a bit challenging, but if you study, you'll do well in this class. Dr. Brandt is incredibly caring towards her students, and I really enjoyed taking this class.
This is a great professor for Intro to Psy! She cares about her students and everything in Blackboard is laid out beautifully and easily accessible. She replies to emails fairly quickly! This class can range up to a few hours on lectures, however, if you take notes and pay attention you will be okay. Exams are not hard!
I took this class as a freshman in high school and I couldn't have asked for a better professor! She was very nice and is probably the reason I like psychology. She helped me grow as a student and as a person, totally recommend!
Easy A. Didn't read a fully chapter of the book I just completed the weekly study guides(which is what the exams are based on). Some discussion boards but not too bad. If you do your assignments and don't bomb the exams I don't see how you could get lower than an A. Very flexible with due dates and genuinely cares about students.Offers extra credit
Fantastic professor, super nice and understanding. Lectures are interesting and engaging. Homework is simple, can get it done in under 2 hours a week. Very flexible, offers a number of extra credit opportunities. Truly cares not only for the content she's teaching but for the students in her class. Highly recommend!
Dr. Brandt is an amazing professor! She really cares about her students and does a great job making her lectures interesting. If you show up to class and do the study guides you will do great! Even though the course was easy, I still feel as though I learned so much!
She's very understanding and fairly laid back. Her lectures are easy to follow, and she doesn't move through them too quickly.
You could probably finish this entire class and of the assignments in less than a week. Each assignment takes 30 minutes maximum besides like 2.
The most generous, caring professor I have ever had. If you have an opportunity to take a class with this woman do it. Not only does she teach well and make it so easy to not only understand the information, but you actually get an A too. Just a sweetheart who you can tell cares for you and just wants to see you thrive. Hard to get that nowadays
Professor Brandt is one of the best professors I've ever had. She responds to emails pretty quickly and genuinely cares if you understand the concepts or not and will help you out if you don't get them. The things you learn about are pretty neat and she applies test information with real-world scenarios to help you understand it better.
She's very understanding and gave an opportunity to reassess some missed work. Her exams were a little tough but nothing too bad.
Amazing professor who was extremely flexible and caring.
I loved having Dr. Brandt in class and if I could take another course from her I definitely would!
Dr. Brandt was an easy, breezy professor. A fair amount of assignments but they weren't difficult for a prereq. She is pretty responsive and pretty forgiving. She provides plenty of updates and extra credit. She does well in covering her material and is clear about expectations well in advance.
I enjoyed taking child development. She used a lot of real life examples and was very clear about what would be on exams. Participation seemed easy because she was super friendly and inspirational. She wants to see you succeed.
She is very easy to work with.
One of the nicest people. I thought the class was very interesting too. Study guides are crucial and it was all I used to study and never got below a 95% on an exam. Extra credit available at the end of the semester
