A perfect teacher, I wish that all my teachers would be like her, very helpful and teaches the class in an interesting way.
She tries to relate to the class with her own perosnal experineces, I find it an interesting way to to go about teaching, but it is interesting.
Great teacher, personal and understanding.
AWESOME! the final is a project but u have all semester to do it and its on urself. if u do it its an automatic A
Patti is a GREAT teacher! In college you will have enough teachers who will come in teach and leave and won't say a word to you! Be grateful that there are teachers like Patti!
She's wonderful!
Wow, talk about having an awesome professor. Showes genuine interest in each individual student. Seriously a role model. Anyone who has anything bad to say about her is just salty because they probably failed due to pure lazieness! Patty=Funny :)
Not helpful in learning material. Too much time was spent unfocused and off-topic. She spent our time discussing her personal problems. I probably know more details about her life than I do about my best friend's! Save your money and just read the book--you'll get more out it!
She's definitely my favorite professor, very friendly.
Patti is an awesome teacher with a superb sense of humor. She has genuine concern for her students and has a lot of fun in class, yet gets her points of teaching through! I enjoy this class and look forward to ahving her again!
Patti is extremely down to earth. She tends to side track a lot with her stories. However, she is really easy and will go out of her way to accomodate to you. I recommend her. She is cool!
Speaking of "shut up already", why don't you people do just that? Patty is a great teacher! If you're considering Human Sexuality and you have "issues", skip it and save us all the heartache. She teaches a great course for the open-minded. If yours is closed you won't enjoy her class and you'll ruin it for everyone else. I loved it. :)
My favorite teacher. She is funny and a joy to be around. I enjoyed her immensely. I always looked forward to her class.
She is an awesome teacher who makes this class fun. I definitely recommend her to anyone whose considering to take a psyc class.
She is a nice, but her classes are boring. Sorry :(
I have go to say that by far Patti is the absolute BEST teacher I have ever had... she is amazing and makes a difficult/uncomfortable class fun & VERY informational... I cannot wait to take more of her courses
wonderful teacher. she is very willing to work with her students and makes a huge effort to keep her students interested. Her huge background as a psycologist made her corse interesting to say the least
I wish Patti taught all my classes! She is great! I will keep taking the classes that she teaches!
Patti is a very strong an inspirational person whom you can learn a lot from. Not only is her class fun and interesting, her stories put everything into perspective. I advise everyone to take this teacher. If you do you will never forget her.
prof patty was a great teacher. She was very understanding and made class enjoyable to be in.
This professor is AMAZING. She is very down to earth. If you need to take any psych class -- I would take Patti!
Patti is truly a great person and full of inspiration. She takes what is in the book and puts it in to real life situations that you can relate to. She touches your heart and makes you want to achieve the best in her class. You have 3 projects to do and 3 tests but she makes sure to cover everything that you will be tested on. Don't miss this ou
Talks to much about her personal life, but I would recommend her.
Oh my gosh, I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this teacher! She made class fun and interesting. She explained the material very well and related it to real life situations. Very down to earth and bright/bubbly personality! She is such a strong person and is considerate bc she knows we all have lives outside of the classroom!
She is a non-threatening person who engages you into the subject by giving good questions to think about and has a charming way of telling her life stories in class. Most of the time her life stories are relevant to the topic of the day, but it is refreshingly unusual to spend much of the semester in a mutual self-therapy session.
she is amazing. thats all you can describe her as. through all she's gone through she can relate to many students and make the class a enviorment that everyone can enjoy. she's funny, smart, sarcastic and caring. shes a freaking hottie too!
Patti was a great teacher, very down to earth and can relate to the students busy lifestyle. No need to take notes just listen to what she is saying and you will do fine. She gives you all the questions that will be on the test, find the answers in the book and study them and get an easy A on the tests which are mutiple choice. Great teacher!!!!
Had her for my first semester at Bucks. She is a great teacher. Makes class fun and interesting. Always has something to talk about and always interacts with students and lets them talk (she isnt one of those teachers that rambles) Her tests are SUPER EASY (I studied for like 30min. for each one, took the test in 15min. and got all A's).
Loved this class and I recommend you taking her for any Psy class as she is a really good and nice teacher, person, friend!
I really enjoyed her class. She is very understanding and very organized. She gives a test review, so you know exactly what to study. She doesn't bore you to death and she doesn't make you feel inferrior. I would reccomend her definately. Although, she does tend to get off topic & skip chapters (which is fine by me) I know some people don't like it
Greatest teacher ever! No one ever misses her classes simply because they want to learn and she is a pleasure to speak with. Totally fair with tests, quizzes and other assignments :-) Anyone who gives poor remarks simply did not do well in her class when everyone else got A's, hense the bitterness. Yes, she talks aobut her family, but its her way t
i had her for human growth and development and shes awesome..easy to work with..easy A..wanted to go to class..very enjoyable..has a trucker's mouth..very funny and down to earth..id take her again if i had the chance!
Patti is a wonderful teacher. I need to put emphasis on teacher. she taught me how important Psychology is to life; I will be eternally grateful. She understands people's busy lives and teaches with passion and clarity. I am a teacher myself and her teaching style is absorbed and will be used to the benefit of my students....Thank You
I am so happy that I took her, she makes the class a lot of fun! This is my second class with her and if I could; I would take every class with her. She makes assignments fun and always gives a test review. She has projects instead of finals and she has such a good stamina and she really wants you to achieve your goals. Thanks Patti for everything!
Patty is cool as****, she is one of the most down to earth people at bucks. This class is sooo much fun, I highly suggest taking it.
Patti is a great person. Her class is not hard as long as you make an effort to be there. The class was fun and informative. Her class makes your day a little more fun. Take her class!
Great Teacher. Uses examples from real life.
Great class easy to understand projects are easy tests not too hard very easy to pass if you put the effort in
Mrs. Alloway is the best teacher. She is so down to earth its unbelievable. She has a passion for what she teaches and gives amazing test reviews. She is understand of everything and everyone. Her class is so interesting and always makes class fun. I hope when I become a teacher Im just like her.
Patti is such a great teacher. She made class fun to attend and tests were super easy. Class was 95% girls so I got a lot of attention being 1 of the 2 guys total. Also, Patti definitely deserves the hot pepper!
Best teacher I ever had.
She has a ton of experience in her field. She had these wonderful stories about her experiences. She's fun, funny, and interesting. If you love psychology and/ or just need an easy A and a fun class TAKE HER!
I totally disgree with some of you; Patti is a great professor who knows her stuff. I would highly recommend her. Maybe some of you were not doing what you are supposed to do and failed and wanted to blame her.
I had her and she was amazing. she gives you the info for the test and is helpful and very understanding i loved her class!
so laid back and down to earth. really knows her stuff. classes are fun and interesting! take her for everything you possibly can!!
Awesome teacher. She does speak about her personal experiences but they are very interesting. She is a funny teacher like others have said. I would recommend her if you want a laid back class. You must be there for the test reviews and study, but other than that you have to try pretty hard to fail. Very inspiring person, I was lucky to have her.
best psychology teacher i have ever had. she is so down to earth and really is there for the students. her life stories are very helpful and i still remember them to this day and i had her as a teacher back in 2006. fantastic woman and so very strong!
Patti is awesome. She teaches the subject very and it never gets boring. All the information comes right out of the book and she lets you know eactly what is going to be on the test. I highly recommend her.
patti is so amazing! best class ever and if you can find a way to memorize the reviews you don't even need to pay attention in class the questions are legit straight from the reviews. she is really interesting though and it is worth it to pay attention in class. I had a night class and we usually left at least 30 min. early
so nice make sure you go the day before the test to get the review they help so much
I love love loved patti. She uses real life situations to teach her class. Go to class, be there for the review,she will tell you exactly whats on the test. you will get an A.
Very easy. Every test is almost word-for-word from the review she gives you the class before. Bonus points for missing only 1 or 2 classes. The final project is a small research paper than took me about an hour to do (and I got an A+ on it). She has a good sense of humor and her lectures are interesting. If you get below a B+, you aren't too bright
most def the best teacher on campus! i wish she taught more so that i could take her again. everything she says is interesting whether or not its on topic, tests are so easy. shes extremely laid back and cares about her students
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!!!!
I love her! She is so sweet and friendly always cares about what you have to say. Loves what she does and it shows when she teaches you. I never get bored in her class and i look forward to going everytime.
I look forward to attending class every day. She makes the lessons interesting with her own little stories and helps a great deal. assignment level is very tolerable and her tests aren't excruciating.
One of the greatest teachers that i had. Classes are super fun and interesting and i love going to them, it makes my day everyday i have her. She gives review questions that are the questions on the test, and with little effort i got a A+ on her two papers. Extremely interesting and funny, Take her for a good grade and a great time :)
patti is the best teacher ever! loved her!
Patti is the BEST I LOVE HER SOOO MUCH i took her last quater for psych 110 now for psych 120 i wish i could take her my whole time at bucks best teacher by far NEVER GET RID OF HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she made a subject that i thought was going to be very hard easy.great test reviews show up and do what you are supposed to and you will have no trouble getting a good grade.
Patti is the best professor at Bucks. I enjoyed going to class because she always made it interesting. If you do your work and participate, you will get a good grade. Patti is very fair and this was my favorite class this semester! I would definitely recommend taking this class!!
Patti is amazing!! I really loved going to her class & it was SO easy. I would really like to take her again.. DEFFFF recommend!
She is definitely one of the best profs i've ever had. Not only does she care about you as her student but she cares about you an in INDIVIDUAL. If you study the things she tells you to review, you're really good to go! I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone. Plus the class was very interesting in itself.
Patti, is a great teacher. She is very knowledgeable and using real like examples to teach. She is so nice and her we always had fun in her class. I always looked forward to going to her class.
Patti, is a great teacher. She is very knowledgeable and uses real life examples to teach. She is so nice and I always looked forward to going to her class. I highly recommend taking this teacher. She gives BC3 a great name and this institution deserves her as a professor.
she is awesome great professor i have her now i HIGHLY recomend her!
Patti is absolutely the best teacher I have ever had! She will help with any issue, both inside and outside of the classroom. She grades according to your effort and is kind towards everyone. If your are at this school, don't leave until you've taken one of her classes!
She is the best teacher I have ever had. She is amazingly interesting, helpful, and REAL! Anyone who can take a class with her, should. I <3 PATTY!
I had Patty for Personal Awareness and then again for Sexual Behavior. Her teaching style focuses on the course outline while encouraging students to share experiences or ask questions relating to the topics. No lecture is the same because of that personal touch. Very supportive of students who show an interest in the class discussions!!
Patti is amazing! I could not ask for a better teacher. She is so funny and makes the class extremely enjoyable.
Great teacher; better person. I've had 3 classes w/Patti & thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Come to class, listen, participate in discussion, and study the review before a test to get an easy A. You will definitely be looking forward to this class each week.
Patti is awesome! I recommend her to anyone! I took 3 classes of hers and loved every one of them. I even took Human Sexuality just because she teaches it and heard nothing but great reviews about it. Patti cares about her students inside the classroom and outside.Her classes are extremely easy and gives reviews the day before tests. TAKE HER!
I took Patti for Developmental Psych, and she is a really great professor!! I loved going to class because every day was different and she consistently supplements the lecture material with interesting and personal stories. If you are going to take a Psych course you must take it with her. Easy reviews before non-culmulative tests!!
She is an Awesome professor i look forward to her class. Human Sexuality is a fun class and its easy. She has a test review the day before the test that really helps! I would definitely recommend her as a professor.
Patti is the best teacher, she makes the class easy because she explains everything VERY well. She has a test review the day before and it is extremely helpful. I will not take any other Psych teacher if she is a choice.
BEST professor ever!!
She's amazing. Best professor I've ever had. Down to earth woman. Her classes actually make me want to drive to the college. Would take her again in a heartbeat if i could!
It was my last semester at Bucks and I had an extra class I could take; I chose this one, and I am glad I did! She is great! So laid back. This class is really discussion based which was great(unless you're uncomfortable talking 'bout sex). Really easy class, but you do learn. 3 exams, group project, and 2 papers. Take this class with Patti!!
Took her human sexuality class, she is super funny and the assignments are really easy. She had the only class I looked forward too. She talks about her family and her daughter a lot though so get ready if that kind of thing annoys you.
She cares about her students more then any other professor
Amazing woman. Very resourceful and explains everything you need to know. Ontop of all that made sure I got into the college I want and helped me with the procedure. Take her class and get to know her. We need more teachers like Patty!
She's my favorite professor I've had so far. Honestly you can tell how much effort she puts into her job and how much she loves her students! She's great! I'd take her for every class if I could!
She is a nice teacher, you can tell she loves her job and what she does. But honestly, I feel like she does too much outside of school that her students come last. Never remembers to hand anything back including tests. Doesn't help review before tests, and put information on tests that she doesn't cover.
Really nice teacher. As long as you participate in class, you will get an A
Mrs. Alloway is not a bad teacher, but also not the greatest. She always forgets to hand your work back, and never posts anything on canvas. She likes to talk about her other jobs a lot more. She will do a review of what will be covered on the test, and expect you to study and know it within one day.
Patti, is the best ive taken her twice. She makes class fun interesting and makes you want to go to class. oh she also cares tremendously about her students.
I've had her for 2 classes now and she's great. She really involves the class in discussions and she has a million great stories about her past experiences in Psychology.
PLEASE TAKE HER!!!!!! One of the best professors I have ever had!! Amazing professor, very funny. She shares a lot of her life experiences, which are super interesting. You won't regret taking her. I'm taking a 3-hour class, and time FLIES with her!!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. She only gives 3 exams but she will give a study guide before each exam. Study the study guide you will get A. NO COMMENTS. DO TAKE HER IF YOU CAN
Hands down the best professor at BCCC.. Any class she teaches she brings outside experience into it and makes it fun.. She is one of the FEW teachers that makes you want to come to class and learn.. I graduated from BCCC in 2013 and still have major respect for her. Thanks Patti, you're the best!
Her course is very straight forward and has some interesting assignments. This was an online class. Textbook was provided. Interactive feedbacks to students. Had a handful of assignments you post and respond to other students posts. Nothing too hard!
Best class I took this semester!
Easiest A you'll ever get. Take her! The class includes lots of easy dissuasion posts, 4 tests that are NOT proctored, 2 journal assignments, and 1 final project. So so so easy!!!
Super easy class. Barely any work, some easy discussion posts, a few open note and unproctored tests, 2 journal assignments, and final paper. One of the easiest online classes I have taken. She isn't a tough grader either. Very sweet professor I would recommend her to anybody interested in psych or just look for a GPA booster!
