Nice class!!!
Take her. She is one of the best teachers whose not much in the Baruch collage. She is about to teach and make u to know the subject rather than to make u to fail the course. Her exams/quizzes are strait foreword , one final paper and one chapter presentation. TAKE HER!!!
This lady is off the walls, GREAT professor though. Had her back to back for Stress Management and Interview techniques. A great discussion always happened and it was forced. Easy class if you show up. Textbook not needed her slides are all you need, takes notes
the best professor ever!!!!! at baruch:)
took her during winter-life changer/super clinician totally recommend her+ great power points n reasonable tests -will try to take her again
take her, very fair, clear, fascinating, expert therapist amazing lectures. Never missed a class highlight of my day
nice n cool n entertaining n knows her stuff n not arrogant n jaded n looks nice
no late assignments no tardy and must participate and no curve and cannot be absent but she is so AMAZING that you totally want to go to EVERY single class!totally cool and demanding in a reasonable way! A MUST TAKE!
She is an awesome professor and will teach you so much. Very knowledgeable. Exams are straightforward. You would be a fool not to take one of her classes!!!Highly recommended.
Best professor in Baruch! fun, brilliant & knowledgeable. You won't regret to take her! A+ professor!
DA BEST ever ! @ seriously!!!!! she is super cool in class but@ next to impossible to join her research + only recommends for grad school if you took two of her classes at least:(
take her class because it's good BUT! do not mistake her kind style for easy A. she gives you a C with a smile and good luck with challenging. but if you do work it's easy A .up to you
recommended. test is not so easy because you have to memorize but she tells you what is on and class is very interesting good professor overall.
OMG I must say one of the best prof. in Baurch, makes the class fun. As long as you show you care you're golden. That doesn't mean do no work. But if you show effort you are good to go. highly recommand
I took her in Spring 2013 and it was pretty much her first time teaching that class. She is such a sweet professor! Just participate in in-class discussions and you'll be fine. Easy pz!
awesome professor i never went to sleep in this lady's class entertaining and leaned a ton no book needed all powerp
the best ever so smart and kind take her
varkonyi (spelling?) is brilliant n laid back but you learn a lot as well TAKE HER
can she teach finance too? she so cool
very hard on term paper but super great professor best good lectures too
being a pre-med i totally appreciated v's biochem background. Dont freak class is not org chem but she is available after class for extra bio stuff pzzz class is easy if yu go to class
Not very reasonable on test because only perfect answer verbatim is full credit but she gives what's on it ahead of time, but lectures r far the best u have big term paper also
She's a great professor. Very down to earth and understanding. The exams were ten questions each from her slides. She's very funny and makes the class funny
Very good professor but if you are not good with essay exams and term papers do not take her . Requires a ton of memorization !
Essay tests but professor prepares us. I highly recommend because she is very knowledgeable and interesting makes you think with assignment and professor uses slides , I didn't need book $ !
I am learning so much from this lady she is actually a working clinical- person with real life examples and uses her own slides no book yeah! she makes class interesting but you must attend classes
She has the best lectures, and she knows how to teach. Really interesting class. Exams are purely memorization which was a little annoying but overall, a great class!
wonderful lectures ! she is a hard grader ! requires pure memorization on her essays but one of the best professors I have ever had!!!!!!
Real amazing professor , really liked lectures and tests are reasonable ,must memorize but she is worth it !
great prof.!!!!!! gives exactly what is required , no tricks ! entertaining . must show up and take notes
attendance matters! her class is great, never boring!!! . Essay tests but doable if you study. No tricks! just study the presentation.
She is very to the point and Does not trick yOu . You know whY she takes point off. Experienced pRof. But beware she reads everyThing. Interesting lectures too. Research paper is a must but she tell you what's needed. TakE.
Most straightforward professor, no games. Tells you what is going to be on the test, the rest is on you.. pure memorization. Don't be scared at first, you'll be fine. 3 Tests and 1 Final 10 page research paper. If you put in the work and study you will get an A. Do not take this professor if you don't like pure memorization word for word stuff.
Very clear cut professor and I appreciated her expertise . You have to Memorize a lot but she will tell you what to study , very fair. Lectures are entertaining !
It was easy to get an A in this class. You just have to recall the definition of a bunch of words for the exams. Don't expect to learn anything. A complete waste of time if you want to learn.
Great class but attendance was mandatory. Entertaining lectures and all short answer tests. I highly recommend
attendance totally matters!!!!!! her class is super, never boring . Essay tests but doable if you prepare like a week before. No tricks she wont change up the study questions! just study the presentation and also there is a research paper
Unfortunately all 3 tests were in short answer essay form which makes you take notes because she tests you on the lectures. On the flip side she is very clear on what is expected . This professor's lectures are really great!
Very nice Professor, unfortunately too mich memorization. I enjoyed her lecture but the word for word memorization is not fair, because psychology is about understanding the concept and not just memorizing stuff word for word. I wish the class taught more about how to manage my stress level, it kinda gave me more stress because of the memorizing
Lot to remember but she is very clear on what is expected
Professor's lectures are fun but she is very strict with attendance and deadlines. So go to class and submit anything that has to do with the research project on time . She was fun and clear on anything . You do have to study but I have taken harder classes . Professors expectations were reasonable .
i had a great experience in her class because the lectures were amazing! had to study for her 3 exams because ALL are in essay format and the research project was not easy either. no tricks very straight foward
do not take Developmental with her if you want a very easy A. She is super clear on what is expected and her lectures are great!!!!! but you have to do the work. She will tell you what is on the test but then again, the tests are all essay and short answer. I think she is the best but NOT easy.
I took her for winter and summer and was very doable. she was very clear what is on the test-short answers . very fair
Honestly she's one of the best professors I've ever had. Who ever says her class is hard they're a joke. She's super clear, super fair and overall just an amazing wonderful professor. Probably the only class I enjoyed going to. Test questions are given before so you have time to prepare and those who fail her are just lazy. Love her!!!
Great lectures . She is clear and tells u a study guide at the same time you have to memorize all the things on that list because the 3 tests are short answers. I also spent a lot of time on the research paper but she gave us a guide how to write abstract and stuff. The lectures were very good.
Take her. She is amazing
Very clear on everything. Great lectures and gives you time to write down material. Very strict with deadlines! At the same time gives you clear guidelines for research paper. I had to study for this class .
It's a hard class partly because tests are not multiple choice and there is a research paper with a strict format . The lectures are very good so it's worth it but it was one of my hardest psychology classes.
Professor V is amazing. She may seem very tough on the first of the class but remain in her class and you will do extremely well. Highly recommended.
Hard class but worth it. Very good lectures . She is very strict w deadliness and tests . Short answer exams ! Plus hard research paper . I spent 3 weeks on it !
professor is very strict with deadlines ! in addition her tests are not easy because they are all definitions and short answers. At the same time her lectures are the best. its worth to take but its work heavy. Plus there is a research project which was time consuming
hard class fun lectures
Dr. could not be more clear with what is expected. The class is work at the same time she explains everything and i appreciated that she does not rush through the slides. Research paper takes time to write. I recommend
Dr. Varkyoni is absolutely amazing! She gives clear grading criteria and repeats herself over and over again to make sure that everyone is on the same page. In the beginning, you might feel that she's tough, but trust me she is such a amazing professor. Three exams, one research paper, and a presentation. Take this class, you will ace it.
Professor is amazing. She literally gives you the answers for her exams, all you have to do is study those. There's a final paper along with a proposal but if you pick a topic that you're really into, you'll be fine and she's open to any topic.
Dr.v is great because she is extremely clear. You have to memorize a lot for her 3 exams but she tells you the 20+ questions some longer some shorter. The research work is about 12 pages long but she helps you. Very good lectures
not an easy class due to the 3 exams and all of them are short answer or essay. Dr.v gives study questions and even the answers but it is a lot to remember. There is also a research paper which is intimidating at the same time she gives directions. she is very strict w deadlines as well. the lectures were great.
took professor for intersession and it was easier than main semester. Nonetheless Dr.O is extremely clear because she lectures on everything that is on the test. you have to study but she gives you all the questions and answers to study. she also gives you examples for the research paper. very entertaining lectures. have to study tho
Dr. V makes it super easy for students. She gives 20 questions and answers for every exam (There are 3) and from that 20, only 10 will be on the tests. All you gotta do it memorize short answers. Research paper outlines are clear. If you simply follow it, you will get an A. She is an easy grader. And she is super funny. Loved her class.
Professor was very straight forward because she tells you what to study at the same time some of the essay questions were longer so you have to prepare . DrV explains everything so there is zero ambiguity. Very strict with deadlines !
What an absolute Gem this teacher is. She is the best teacher I have ever had and all of the students that I talked have ever had. She bends over backwards to make everyone get the best grade possible: A+ She's extremely Positive, Has extraordinary energy/passion/enthusiasm. You'll love her class. You'll be very happy. She makes you feel goodaboutu
It was a hard class due to the essay exams and the research papers . DrV was very clear on requirements and clear about grading . Professor s lectures were great! I recommend but you have to work very hard in this class
Teacher makes all classes fun and exciting. Lots of laughter. She is a pyschologist her self and knows what shes talking about. Youll learn a lot from this class thats applicable to your life. Study well on what shes gives you. Dont stress, just study what she says and youll do great: A+ on her tests. Get her class before other students do!
Interesting lectures and the class is hard . Must study the essay Qs because drv is taking points off for everything. Must spend time on the research paper also if you want to pass. Professor is very clear
great lectures and Dr.o is testing you on her notes and documents she posts. also there is a research paper . very experienced but beware she is very strict with all deadlines. i highly recommend it is a hard psychology class .
professor made a developmental psy class very difficult due to her tests which were all essay that required a ton!!! of memorization and in addition dr.v has u write like a 12 page research paper. at the same time she knows her stuff and the lectures were amazing. i only recommend if u wanna do a load of work.
I seriously didnt think class was hard because professor literally gives her own notes for u to study so you dont even need to get book The lectures are cool and just do paper and you will be fine ; the tests are essay and dr give u study questions
took online in intersession the amoubnt of feedback she gives like the day after you submit work is crazy lot like 3 pages i mean she really reads every word you write clear on things but you canno t be late with your work she gives literally no points
The class is a lot of work. Clear on things with the 3 tests 3 all easy tests you have to study for days to pass just one test. I liked the no tricks part and lecurrs were good . If you have the time to put in the work take if not take an easier class
Fully online class during the winter term. Assignments are length and seriously so time consuming. Would definitely not recommend if you want a chill winter course. In order to do good, you actually need to follow all directions and write the required amount. Overall just way too much work, too fast.
This class was a ton of work at the same time professor was very clear Ton of work and clear
Professor shared all homework and research assignments right when the semester started so I was able to do whwnwr as long as it was submitted by due dates . The grading was next day and prof. Was available if I had a questions . Yes it was a lot of work so if you want easy a not good for u. As long as you do work on time you should be fine.
Fun lectures and be prepared to participate at the same time childhood is a lot of work three is three exams drv tells you what to study and tells you how to answer . Its still a lot of work. Dont get book because she test you on what she presents on. Goes over everything . She is available to talk to you about your research paper and you should
she s cool and no book needed u gotta study
Yes, it is a LOT of work but Dr. V is completely transparent with EVERYTHING! She tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests, and how the research paper & proposals must be written. She is always available to guide you and help you out. If you dont mind doing a lot of reading and writing then take her!
soooooooooooooo fun study a lot she legit tells you what to study and super helpful with paper lady has rubric for everything so you dont get a mistery grade here
you gotta study a ton she aint joking in the beginning of the semester if you do whats asked you get a good grade and do not miss the asisgnemts bceause you get a zero on them and study the 20 concepts for the test otherwise she is nice
Words are noy enough to describe professior V. So inspirational and friendly with the students. She has a clear outline for the whole semester. She gives you 17-20 questions for the exam and 10 comes from them. She even gives the answer so you know what is exactly coming in the exam. She is a GPA booster. Best professor i got in Baruch.
I agree drvarkonyii is available to students but the class I took was incredibly learning intensive Its all easy questions and you have to study because you have to retain at least 20 long answers She tells u what to study and there is also a 12 page research paper but she gives you guidelines . Has zero tolerance for anything turned in late .
Gives very little credit for attendance which should be changed to higher but I found adult dev to be very easy maybe cuz the material is very easy She also types up everything she talks about and doesnt test on things she doesnt go over also dont buy the book
Professor is okay. You have to study a lot on your own . Only things is pro f helps with the essay that is due. Look at the documents she uploads at the beginning of the smwbeters because you will have to remember all of them
Dr. varkocouldnt be more clear 20 20 20 three exams all equal weight she tells u exactly whats on the test and also there is a term paper which she helps a lot with trick is you have to study for the tests!!!!!!
Hard class but very clear on everything . Doesnt do multiple choices and there was a 12 page research paper but gives guidelines. Dont buy the book study what she puts up. Overall one of the hardest I took. And she gives no point for anything thats late.
I dont think the class was hard at all because she tells you study questions ahead of time and uploads the things to study . Dont buy the texts because she gives you her notes , I mean you have to spend time finding the research articles for the TP but doable A.
Professor was cool. Read her notes and slides w additional notes and participle on blackboard and you have nothing to worry about. I normally get cs and bs and this was a doable A The only thing is if you turn your stuff in late she gives you no points so watch out for that
Dr. veeee was dope she went out of her way to help me with my second test and even the term paper. Heloed us get a good grade in the class. As long as you submitted the work she was cool with it and helped to make it better . Take
Shes someone you didnt know you needed to meet in your life to be inspired and stay motivated. For the PDFs, highlight the important stuff and go over it a couple times until you can speak it aloud without looking back at them. Short answer/essay exams. Her passion for this class is contagious. If you choose this class, more power to you!
Very clear on everything almost annoyingly so! I dont think it was a hard class you had to remember the info for essay tests but she tells you what to study BEWARE she doesnt curve and I think we are entitled to a curve !!!!!!!!!its college curve please
Professor Varkonyi is an amazing woman. She is very understanding and kind to all her students. She teaches well and she is clear when it comes to her expectations. She cares a lot about her students and she is one of the professors that you will remember forever. 10/10 take her!
One 8 page paper and 2 Exams based on the pdf she post online (like the answers has to be almost exact). Overall, Dr. V teaches the subject well and genuinely cares about her students.
We had 3 assignments 10 questions each and 300 word MINIMUM for each answer (800 words is A level answer). She doesnt teach at all. She only assigns you PDFs, PowerPoint and good luck with that. The tests are 20 short answers (5-7 sentences) and you have to do it in less than 70 min �� and her excuse was youre not working hard enough ?? What??
Easy class, shared the assignments back when the semester started ! The essay quizzes were intimidating at first but she grades light
TErm paper was annoying but the guides were clear other than that the 3 exams were super easy also there was a nice curve at the Edna
Do not buy the text she posts because the older edition was just as fine and there was enough to compelte all of the homeworks and the research ones you look up from the databases. She was helpful with my homework Pretry much gave away the answer. Easy a or b depending on how much u have time to put in
EASY! Gpa booster! Only thing is make sure you do the 3 hometowns on time because they can take time , as long as you explain your answer Snd make sure you CITE what you say easy A !!!!!!!!
Took her for the other section childH in person that was easier and more interactive . This if you start working on the assigned homeworks you will get and A. Only two tests in this one and they weigh very little like 20 points and 10.
Hilllarious and easy !!!!!!!!! Book you have to get . Easy
Many papers but was not hard at all. Do the writings on time and you will be good to go!
Dr. varko is someone you didnt know you needed to meet in your life to be inspired and stay motivated. For the PDFs, highlight the important stuff and go over it a couple times until you can speak it aloud without looking back at them. Short answer/essay exams. Her passion for this class is contagious. If you choose this class, more power to you
professor was caring and available during office hours to discuss progess and also was helping with the reserach paper. the exams were mostly essay but also had some short answer questions. she gave a good guide for the essay and term paper.
Be prepared to do a lot of writing but the rubrics are clear follow that you will be fine -lectures are great!
Took Dr. V. for dev and stats I say dev was way easier because the tests were both MC and fill in (easy) and term paper. Stats you have weekly HW but she goes over the problems. Overall helpful and not hard to get A or Bs
Dr. Varkonyi is legit awesome! She helps with how to put the required research paper together which was daunting at first- if you go and talk to her after class or office hours she helps even more. Dr. Varkonyi was very down to earth kind and caring. The essay exams are hard but she gives a guide! Study that and you will ace!
DR. varko is truly an amazing professor. She has pretty strict rules, but if you follow rubrics u R good. Follow her exam prep guide also/ extensive. Her humor in her lectures actually made me excited to come to class. You can tell DR. v enjoys what she teaches. She doesn't share her lectures, so you'll have to come to class and take notes.
Dr.O great professor. had her for PSY 3059 n 60. she is great. lectures are heavy, but exams are exactly what is in the notes. she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities if you go to class. she is funny and makes lectures fun to go to and engage in. overall would take her other class!
Professor varkonyi is one of the best professors I've taken at Baruch. She is very caring for her students and makes sure nobody is left behind. You can tell dr. V is passionate for this subject with the care she puts into his lectures. This class does have some group work and it may be unusual because it requires you to think outside the box!
Dr.O great for research methods we had 4 exams 2 mc and 2 short answer ones. Professor was fast with responding to questions and explained what we missed on test. DrVv lectures were also cool she jokes and approachable
doctor veee was great because she went over the essay questions or the potential ones that we have to self-create and there was no mystery about the exams the two exams. the term paper was hard but she gave good feedback on the draft so if you follow you are gold. she is also engaging
She hands down the best for clinical sup / gives sooooooo much feedback where she has you read outside sources that btw you can totally use for key assignment. Cool lectures too only thing is you have to read the two books because she asks you about it during classes
Dr. Varkonyi is a great professor who makes her lectures engaging. While the workload can be heavy, following her guidance and using resources like Unstuckstudy for study prep makes the class manageable. Definitely take her again if you can!
