She was one of the best teachers I have ever had at FSC! She's smart and knows what shes talking about. She has an awesome grading system where I didn't feel anything wasn't worth it. Everything had points that counted towards the final grade.
Really good teacher, smart and looks good too. Always know what she is doing, uses real life and nice examples to explain the content of the course.
I think that she thinks that her students are all as smart as she is, and she is a doctor! I dont think explains things very well, and expects us to just know what shes talking about, at least in this class. And she is very intimidating.
She is brilliant, but still teaches at an appropriate level. Great examples, make it all understandable. Writing project is a newsletter, it rocks. Tests are challenging, but her grading is fair.
Gives excellent notes. Makes material easy to understand. Alot of work but you'll learn alot. Great professor!
extremely nice and caring and understanding
Great teacher!!! Easy to undertsand and very caring and helpful!!
Her class comes off as being very over-whelming and difficult, but there's tons of extra credit and the overall grading system is fantastic. Even if you fail all of the tests (even with like a 35 average), you will still pass. The material is pretty boring but she shows cute kid movies that are fun.
She's very spaced out. Her tests are difficult, but assignments fairly easy. Kind of boring
She's wonderful.The class was so interesting and she gave so many oppertunities for extra credit. The only thing I didn't like was the curve. I worked so hard apparently for nothing, cause although i was exempt from the final, u could get a 30% on both tests and still end up with an A.Sorta unfair.
She is the most helpful teacher I have had the entire time I've been here. Although I was scared at first, I am very happy that I ended up taking the research sequence with her. She's awesome!
great teacher, very understanding
The class comes off as being extremely difficult, however, it is the easiest class I have taken. There's really no need to read, just take good notes. If you get 80's on the first 2 exams, you're exempt from the final. She's just a very sweet lady and I highly recommend her class.
Dr. Ludemann is funny and a great professor. Her tests are HARD, and she demands a lot from her students, but she's worth your tuition money and you remember a lot later. She's talented and cares about her students, and she always makes her points interesting by telling stories about her kids! :)

I love Dr. Ludemann! She is soooo helpful and is willing to work with students at any time! She really makes methods a lot more enjoyable becasue she is so amusing and understand what we are going though. I'd take her at any opertunity u get!!!
She knows so much about her field and seems to love teaching about it. Approachable, interesting, and funny. Treats students like adults, not children, and cares about all of us. I learned so much from her class.
D.r Ludeman will go OUT OF HER WAY for students; she will NEVER miss your scheduled appointment with her, and for that I am truly greatful. She is one of the ONLY psych. professors that is around a lot and will be there to respond for you frequently. When all other psych professors let me down, she was there to help me!
lectures are a bit long, but she's very clear on what she's teaching. Weekly summary but no other homework. Tests are multiple choice but kind of hard, and no papers. I recommend her
Really nice teacher, uses a lot of her own family as examples, which makes it more interesting and easier to understand. She is very approachable, and honest about what she expects from you which is helpful. Her exams are not easy, but on the covered material, so although studying is needed nothing on the test is not covered. Shes great!
Dr. Ludemann is very fast when it comes to lecturing,teaching, and talking. I recommend having your laptop and sit in front of the class. However, she is very helpful in when ask to clarity and providing examples. I like her teaching style but I thought it was way too fast. Overall, she is a very good professor and may/may not match your style.
Dr. Ludemann is the best professor for first year students. She is very clear and descriptive and is able to go over the readings and explain the most important points. She accommodates the different learning styles of her students and provides numerous examples with videos, activities and projects. She scales the grades but counts attendance.
Awesome teacher, very into making sure her students do the best they can. Attend all classes for an easy 25 points. Was never bored once in this class. I would def take her again!
Dr.Ludemann was the most amazingly helpful and wonderful teacher i EVER had. She maybe hard but pushes you to do your very best. She made methods more enjoyable than most professors. She is whitty and brilliant .. she really knows her SPSS! I would recommend her to anyone thats a psych major!
Great Prof! You learn a lot in this class. Attend all classes and do all work and you will be fine. I highly recomend her if you want to actually learn the methods sequence!
Dr.Ludemann was a fantastic teacher for research methods one. She was very helpful. I would recommend not missing class and would go to every class. She may seem difficult at times but you will be able to make it through. Great teacher!
Structured, very clear, fair and helpful, knowledgeable.
Dr. Ludemann is a great professor! Methods is only hard if you don't keep up with the work. She gives lots of options to when things need to be completed and gives detailed handouts to help you. Methods 1 is alot of lecture because it has to be, she really wants her students to do well. Read her handouts and you cant go wrong!
Great class! Professor's very nice and understanding. Attentence is mandatory which was fine because the class was interesting. Couple exams, one homework assignment a week. If you go to class, take notes and study before the exams you will do great!!
Great professor! She seems very intimidating at first but she is very sweet and helpful! Attendance is strict, but she always offers extra credit during the semester. Her homework assignments may seem hard but are actually fun and interesting. She loves to joke and have fun and she is very passionate about the subject.
I think this professor is amazing and I would love to take another course with her again. She does not overwhelm you with homework and offers extra credit. If you do not do well on tests do panic because its not worth that much. Take her course!
Great teacher. Easy class to do well and learn in if you do the homework and read the text book pages. I did better than I did in high school in psychology. Her teaching style is probably the best I've ever encountered.
This class is always interesting. Although attendance is mandatory, she offers so much extra credit to make up for anything missed or done poorly on. She is super-helpful and always relates class material to something you can understand.
Interesting class, lots of material to cover so you'll need to attend all of the classes. Not alot of time for group discussions or ind questions though. Gives many opportunities for extra credit via interesting assignments, so it hardly feels like work. I found myself viewing the various websites out of curiosity, which in turn helped me learn.
Dr. Ludemann is the best! She's very nice and very willing to help. She seems hard/mean at the beginning but she's really sweet and really knows what she's talking about. The course load is a lot, it's not too hard but very tedious. She always responds to students and is clear cut in what she expects. Really glad i picked her over other professors!
Professor Ludemann has to be one of the most interesting professors I've had. She is very helpful and gives good notes so you know exactly what to focus on. She does go through material fast but will slow it down if you need her to. She can seem a bit crazy at times but it's what makes the class fun.
Great professor!! She is so nice, and there are so many opportunities for extra credit, and the class is pretty easy! I highly recommend her!!
Professor Ludemann was one of the best professors I had this semester. She is really funny and her class is never boring. She likes to tell us life stories, but they are always either interesting or funny. If you have to take a psych class I honestly sudgest you take it with her you will learn alot!!! ^_^
She's the best! Class goes by very quickly every day. I deffinately reccomend her!
very bright, competent, and knowledgable!
There are a lot of notes, but they are all helpful and tie in with the text. She makes it clear what information you will need for tests, when assignments are due.Also, the written assignments are planned out for you step by step, literally telling you what to put in each paragraph. The tests are somewhat hard, but just study and you'll be fine.
you have to go to every single class and stay very organized. the work is hard but she it willing to help so as long as you're willing to ask questions you should do fine. check everything you write 10000 times, cause it will NOT be good enough if you dont. she can't even read her hand-writing, which she'd admit, so you'll need teamwork!
As a freshman, I feel that Professor Ludemann was extremely helpful and always organized and available.She is definitly my favorite professor of the semester. Her notes are very useful and the class flies by. She has a good sense of humor and tells you exactly what to do on tests and papers. She is super intellegent and you will learn tons!
Best professor for the Methods sequence!! It is a lot of work but she lays everything out very clearly and is EXTREMELY helpful. You have to put work in to the course but she puts a lot of work into it to. So glad I had her for thesis instead of the other professors who i've heard many complain about!
Great fun - good to listen to full of stories to illustrate the point under discussion
She really cares about her students. If you don't understand something she'll go out of her way to help you. You have to put effort into these courses and read all the handouts a couple of times especially before turning anything in as this class is very detail- oriented. Theres alot of handouts in the beginning and reading. Ask for help!
This class was a lot of fun! She stayed on topic but her notes jump around. She's an awesome person and a great teacher if you pay attention. You'll learn a lot and it's a good bases for other psych courses. If you have her for foundations you're really lucky! There are a few papers but they're not difficult and most of them are pretty interesting.
I loved this class! I had Professor Ludemann twice, General Psyc and now Child Psyc, and I can't wait to have her class again. Weekly summaries that are easy points, two tests, four assignments/papers. She wants her students to do well. Study for the tests, if you do bad, it won't kill your grade.
Make sure you check the syllabus EVERY DAY and you'll be fine. She was the one teacher I've had that said that and meant it!
This was a good class. Her lectures go almost the whole class without a break which can be rough. If you do all the work you will get a good grade even if you arent the best at tests. Just do all the work and follow the syllabus and youll be fine! She sends helpful reminder emails a well
Loved this class! Great material! Well executed lectures. My advice is DO ALL THE WORK. Do not miss any assignments because the few that did were struggling towards the end. ALSO make sure you read the text alongside the corresponding lecture material otherwise things get overwhelming come test time. :-)
I loved the class and her teaching style. I do not say this lightly and I did put in a lot of hours per week. She critiques with out blowing your ambitions away. She is great at commenting and with questions. Her responces are timely so you stay on track for writing a decent paper. She allows for depth of thought yet kept me focused on topic.
She is a great teacher, knows what she is doing. She is very helpful and will take you through every step of research methods. After hearing about some other teachers who taught research methods I believe that she is one of the best at FSC. One of the harder classes but she usually scales the grades and you learn a lot!
Great class! I learned a lot. She is very direct about requirements and what she expects from your work. Always great feedback to let on where you need to be more attentive and where you support yourself the best. Definitely recommend for people who want a fun, concise class. *Not for those who want an easy A, if you work for it, you get it.
I have only had her for research methods but I would definitely take her again if I had to do it again. She is kinda tough and youll be scared the whole but then at the end of the semester youll be happy with your final grade!
Great teacher, very organized and clear. Even online, she is good. Assignments should be done on time and well.
Relative high work load, but a very interesting class, which I personally found to be very reflective, educational and informative.
Great teacher, very clear and helpful. You have to study though and do your homework on time.
Psychological Pathology. Great class, we did projects with partners in class. It was a fun, challenging online class.
I took Developmental Psych online and really enjoyed it. No tests, mostly reading and discussion board based every few days. The last half of the semester was a partner project and students just had to grade one another and ask questions on each topic.
Professor Ludemann was a great teacher. She is very welcome to input form the class. She is willing to help you if you go to her. The teaching was very easy to follow. She writes notes on the board and laptops are allowed in class to take notes.Movie segments are used to make things easier to remember. Loved having her as a teacher!
Best Professor I had this year! She was nice, fair and fun to listen to! The class topics were always interesting and she always had something fun to add to it! Plus! sometimes she'd bake for us!
Best Professor I've had! Shes fair, nice and fun to learn from! The topics are always interesting and she gives out easy grades. Tests can be hard but your grade will even out with papers! Plus she bakes!
Best Professor I've had yet! She is really nice, fair grader and fun to listen to. The topics in the class are always interesting and you learn alot. Tests are hard but you can make up for a bad test score easily. Plus! She bakes!
Her class was always really good. It is actually not hard at all, so if you do you're work and read your text you'll do just fine! I recommend her for anyone!
SHE'S A GREAT TEACHER AND PERSON. REALLY NICE, SOMETIMES BAKES FOR HER CLASS AND IS ALWAYS ON TIME. NEVER CANCELS CLASS. GREAT AT EXPLAINING MATERIALS. WRITES REALLY GOOD NOTES ON THE BOARD. EXAMS AND QUIZ ARE HARD, BUT IF YOU STUDY, YOU`LL DO GREAT. RECOMMEND HER DEFIANTLY.
Great teacher! Class is very interesting and enjoyable...learned a lot from her teaching style! Great notes and good to the point exams and quizzes...studying is recommended but still awesome class! TAKE IT!
amazing teacher! her tests are really hard you need to study but you can still get an A in the class even if you fail them; she has writing assignments which are more important than the tests ! she is extremely helpful and really nice
She's really nice and the class is interesting and goes by quickly! Not too much homework, weekly summaries which are so easy! Tests are really hard, but she offers a lot of extra credit.
Unorganized. Unclear. Does not post grades, so you don't know where you stand.
This was a summer course, so always a bit of a different feel. However, it was very informative and interesting. Work load was relatively high, manageabe, but high - lots of interactive/participant interview assignments - have come to expect in a psych. class, but maybe a bit much during the summer. Would recommend proffessor though!
She's pretty nice and very helpful. If you speak with her after class you can easily schedule a time in her office to talk about any problems you are having understanding things. I'd recommend you read the chapter as she explains in class because she WILL use textbook questions on her exams and notes of course. Goodluck !
1. she has terrible handwriting 2.It's a really easy class 3. you use your textbook for a few assignments (to give examples) and to study for tests, if you are low on $, you could easily borrow a friends book, because you don't use it that often. 4.she offers a ton of extra credit. 5. not a lot of work, at all.
GREAT professor. Extremely nice and helpful, such a sweetheart. Her handwriting is a bit illegible but with time you will understand it. Her expectations aren't too high, but you must follow her guidelines and show up. She's very understanding if you're ill.
I took General Psyc and for my final grade I have an A-. If you do well in her papers, quizez (that are online & can be done a bunch of times) you will be fine. She tries very hard to give extra credit just in case you are missing points & you should read the chapters to understand what shes discussing in class. I always failed her test bt did okay
She was such an awesome teacher, who genuinely cares about her students. The papers end up being really helpful. I learned a lot I would defiantly recommend her to anyone. Take her classes!!
Very Easy Class. Literally there is no way to fail unless you don't show up. Only problem is remembering the online quizzes. If you take a class for her remember to sit close to the boards...her handwriting is very messy and she will not accept late work.
Pam is such a great teacher! I loved her class. She cares about her students and how they do in her class and she makes it literally impossible to fail! I will be taking classes again with her in the future!
Professor Ludemann is an excellent teacher. No tricks here. Do the work and succeed. The course load is fair and you get out what you put in. Take her course, you won?t regret it.
As long as you do the work and take notes you will be fine. Attendance isnt mandatory but its beneficial to you getting a good grade. I did horrible on all 3 exams, but kept up with all of the other assignments and got an A-.
She is a pretty nice woman and is there to help if you need it. The problem is her handwriting is illegible and someone will need to stop her every 3 minutes to ask what something says. The tests are challenging, but if you pay attention in class they should be somewhat easy to ace. I would reccommend her for General Psych.
She's very knowledgable about the field of Psychology. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and felt that it was a lot easier than most people had thought. The tests are not that bad, but if you study you will certainly do well. The weekly summaries are free points, do not forget to do those! She's also a very fair grader on the papers.
Super easy and nice professor! Attendance counts for points, easy to write summary of notes each week, a few write-ups on a psych issues, 3 exams (tough if you didnt study).Hand writing is hard to read sometimes, but overall easy class. She is willing to help you, especially after class. Take Ludemann!
Mrs. Ludemann is one of the best psych teachers framingham has to offer, i would 100% take any of her classes. i had her for gen psych and she was really helpful in the sense that she wanted you to learn and pass the class. one problem is her hand writing but just ask her what it says and she will clarify it for you
Dr. L is incredibly helpful. I took this class online and it's a lot of work but manageable. First half is discussion board with a few assignments. Second half is semester project presentations. Start project early. Make sure assignments are on time, doesn't accept late work. Eager for you to succeed. Would absolutely take a class with her again.
Dr. Ludemann was a very good professor. She was very helpful, responded to emails quickly and I was impressed with her knowledge in Developmental Disabilities. The best part of this class was her organization. Everything is spelled out for you and very clear. One of the best online classes that I have taken.
Horrible teacher. do not take a research class with her unless you are ready to be ridiculed. she not only teases her students but expects phd level work out of them. Horrible organization, not-consistent. will cancel class at the last minute, but when you arrive 2 minutes late she marks you absent. Rude and demeaning to her student.
This class was awesome very easy all you had to do was show up and pay attention. Easy A
I have taken her for general psychology, rm1, rm2, and thesis and she is an amazing professor and gives great advice for the "real world" honestly trust her more than I trust my advisor all around shes amazing.
Best psych prof by far. Very clear on what she wants done and how she wants it done, if you follow her instructions easy A. Do all her homework assignments, they're super easy and pretty fun. She does take attendance and gives extra points to those who never miss a class. Loved the course and would definitely take again!
Wouldn't be where I am today without Dr. L, I've taken several of her classes and she's so brilliant and kind.
Professor Ludemann is amazing both as a person and a professor. She is extremely helpful and gives plenty of advantages to do better in the class. The most important thing to her is that you don't fail the class. So much extra credit but don't skip a class because she gives you alot of information during every class.
Professor Ludemann is one of the BEST professors I have had. She wants everyone to pass. She gives many papers , but they all have clear directions, and she grades based on what you know. You have to take many notes in her class but you learn a lot. I would take this class every semester if I could. She is an awesome teacher.
I took Ludemans online Adult Development class. Once you figure out exactly what she expects, you will get full credit EVERY TIME - took me a few tries to figure out what she expected. Discussions every week requiring 2 posts with CITATIONS from book, and 5 assignment papers due (your choosing) 2-3 pages double spaced. Super simple to pass
I have no complaints about this course. Clear and specific requirements. Gives informative feedback.
Great professor, informed and passionate! What you would expect from an online course. First part of the semester is more textbook focused but it's not a difficult read. Second part has a group project. Weekly discussion posts are REQUIRED. Due dates are consistent. Course is "easy," just need to put in the work and pay attention to due dates.
Such a sweet lady, which always makes taking any class much more enjoyable. Her instructions for papers are always very clear cut, usually telling you exactly what she's expecting paragraph by paragraph. Sometimes she gets sidetracked during her lectures and trails off, and her handwriting can be hard to read. No other complaints besides those two!
By far the worst FSU professor I've ever had. Assigned group projects for an ONLINE course and became frustrated when students schedules clashed. Harsh grading and language, nothing is ever good enough.
Very self explanatory online class. I enjoyed it.
Really understanding professor with a passion for what she does. Sometimes she is not clear, but she is always willing to help. I enjoyed her psych class.
Amazing Professor, Super helpful, One of the Best put together online Class (all documents are extremely helpful), Pay attention to deadlines, and do the reading participate in discussions and complete assignments. If you put in the effort you will get an A.
I just started a winter semester and noticed that this is not up to date. Her emails come off as extremely rude and it's super difficult to understand what she wants. The assignments read like it was written by a scatter brain and she lacks ZERO empathy. Does not care if the pandemic affects you, get the work done.
