Horrible professor. She is so pessimistic and rude to her students. She has turned me completely against psychology. awful teacher.

This woman is very different. Instead of encouraging students to continue on to grad school, she basically tells them they don't have a chance. Her classes are not as difficult as she would like to think but if you have an interest in psych, don't take her or you will change her mind. YUCK

One word will do, "AWEFUL!"

Terrible instructor. Avoid if possible. Lectures are long and boring. She is always late for class, never organized and reads directly from a slip of paper throughout the entire lecture. It was really terrible.

a real witch. I wish someone would whack that mole off of her face.

I was really excited about taking this class before I started. I even thought about switching my major to psychology. Now I think I'll stick to criminal justice. She was very rude and acted as though she hated teaching. I believe she needs to see a psychologist herself.

She appears to show favoritism, embarassing classmates during her lectures. If you take this class, be prepared to agree with her point of view, or she may humiliate or otherwise assert her authority. Dress down, as the more trendy classmates seemed to get the worst treatment - she was the most helpful to people she seemed to feel sorry for.

First of all, before they have someone teaching a personality class, the instructor should have one. She makes her test extremely difficult and confusing. Picks out mundane details to test you on. terrible lectures, she reads from a paper. Doesnt give you time to take decent notes and what she emphasises in class is not on the test. Avoid her

horrible teacher! did end up getting a B in her class, had to work my butt off for it though! she goes extremely fast, her tests are hard... just study, study, study and you'll do fine. you have to work hard though.

she is the worst teacher ever and I took an F one semester just so I didn't have to go back to her class..... She is rude and lectures are BORING!

I have graduated for WVSU and have a MA degree and have not experienced a prof like McCoy. She is not a "people person" and I think that she doesn't like her job well b/c she would be more willing to explain things to students. I feel that she give the department a bad name. The dept head should really consider her employment.

Take at your own risk!!!!!! She cannot teach.

Made me switch majors to social work. Then I found out not all professors in the psych dept were crazy. They should not have her teaching an intro class. She turns students off by her attitue and inability to teach.

She isn't very intelligent. Doesn't speak/lecture well at all. It is a shame because the rest of the professors in the department seem quite educated and knowledgable about the subject material. She may have been hired through some kind of affirmative action policy that requires the hiring of people with psychiatric disabilities.

She has more issues than Norman Bates.

Has a major attitude problem. She acts mentally ill and mumbles to herself constantly and tries to violate the rights of others. She needs help.

her understanding of psychology could be wadded up in a little ball and shoved in an ants butt (and it would still bounce around)

terrible, has no idea what she is talking about. Talks down about other faculty

this lady had issues. Tries to act intelligent, but you can tell she is using covering up for her faults. Talks about other professors in a negative way. I have no respect for her at all. Take another professor if possible

dont take her. its obvious she hates her job.if you're going to be 1 min late for her class, dont go. 65% of ppl either fail or drop her course if that tells you anything. dont ask Q's b/c she'll make you feel stupid for asking it & rub her Ph.D in your face. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!(coming from an A student)

Her issues have issues.

She seems to have personal issues that she brings into the classroom. The rest of the department is fabulous, but she is a huge black mark for the University. Very unprofessional, she talks about other professors in class.

She is terrible. Avoid if possible. I really lost all respect for her when she degraded all of the other professors in the department. her tests are confusing and she has her own issues she needs to work on.

Even though she says she doesn't mind people asking questions, this is just a front. If you're a minute late for a quiz, she'll make you go into another room to take it. Don't attempt to chew gum or drink anything in front of her without getting glared at. She's egotistical, talks about other faculty and how they teach nothing relevant. F-

Don't take her classes unless you have to. She is unstable. She does not respect you. Your time is not important. She teaches ethics but does not practice it. She is the only licensed psyc on staff so WVSU has to keep her (ex: complaints against her always get dismissed). Graduated w/ a 4.0, not being spiteful, but avoid her if you can.

Avoid taking her for a practicum. Choose words wisely in emails; she takes everything as an attack. She is rude, egotistical, and makes inappropriate comments about those she cannot relate to, such as parents and minorities. She is not sympathetic to your issues (family, health, vehicle, etc.) and thinks you can drop everything for her class.

She is probably the worst teacher at WVSU. She is a bad lecturer and boring. Very hard to get in contact with after class. I don't know anybody who liked her there.

as others have said, she teaches ethics but does not practice ethics. she should not be a professor.

Its possible to get an A in her classes, but its extremely hard. She makes everything way harder than it needs to be, and CONFUSING. I, along with many other students, will be doing everything I can do avoid having to take another one of her classes.

My best advice is to try to avoid this professor as much as possible.

Had her for one class and will now do everything I can do avoid having her again. Cant say what I really want or this might not get approved, but this woman is so rude and honestly just mean. Someone can ask a simple question and shell bite their head off, or someone can pop their knuckles and shell throw a fit. Idk how shes still teaching.

Dr. McCoy is a very rude woman. I dont understand how she hasnt been fired for some of the discriminatory statements she has said. That being said, her tests are very easy and she isnt a tough grader. If you have to take her dont worry, her class is annoying but its an easy A if you read your textbook and pay attention in class.

McCoy is the sole reason why Im leaving WVSU. She is rude, disrespectful, unprofessional, racist, and overall an awful person. Avoid her the best you can. I used to love psych but she has made me hate it. She will blame others for her mistakes. She degrades staff and students constantly. I dont know why shes still at State. Its ridiculous.

I can't say what I really want to say because of the guidelines, but this woman is by far the worst person I have ever met. She is rude, unfair, crazy, racist, etc. The only reason she is still on this campus is that they won't fire her because she is the only clinical psychologist. Don't take this old hag unless you want psychology ruined for you

She is derogatory to other races whilst working at an HBCU. Guidelines say I can't mention that she had favorites however, it's true. I truly hated every minute I had to be with her, she hates people who are disabled, pregnant/ parents, other races. STAY AWAY

WORST professor I have ever had, I had to leave WVSU because of her. Highly rude and
