Terrible! She clearly doesn't like to teach. Very emotional teacher. If she likes you, you will get an A. She speaks broken English, so she is hard to understand. Stay away. Take the course from someone else!!!

I enrolled in this course, went to 2 classes, and then switched sections to a different prof. How can a prof teaching in the same room twice a week NOT know how to use the AV equipment! She was awful and annoying. I agree with the last rater--STAY AWAY!

Her courses are a joke. An easy A. Even though she can barely speak english her exams are easy. You don't even need to show up to her lectures. Her TA is more proactive than she is. She's not very helpful though with students wishing to pursue graduate studies.

This prof was horrible! I don't usually say this about any prof, but she is surely the worst prof I've ever had! She doesn't care about her students, doesn't teach well at all, and just doesn't seem to care about the topics she discusses either, which makes lectures even more boring.

HOW ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DID SHE BECOME A PROFESSOR?? SURE SHE MAY HAVE HAD THE MARKS, BUT WHAT THE HELL?? U DON'T EVEN HAVE 2 GO 2 HER CLASS, STAY HOME AND READ THE TXT FOR GOD SAKE!CAN'T SPEAK PROPERLY AND THE WEIRDEST THINGS MAKE HER LAUGH!! NO ONE ELSE LAUGHS,JUST HER!

hoenstly, the worst prof and the most boring lectures in my 3 years at york. her lectures consist of reading from the textbook word for word.

BORING,says inappropriate things in class,seems very uninterested in lectures,has material in the exams that is neither in the text or lectures,in a nutshell- a BAD PROF.

Horrible! All she did was read parts of the textbook aloud to us in class. She doesn't seem to know much about what she is teaching or seem very interested in teaching it. You really have to teach the course to yourself, because she is not helpful at all. Her lectures are quite boring.

not very bright.. she has a profound difficulty explaining the material, and often incorrectly presents the material from the text... apparently pavlov did his research on cats!!! (hey charlton, don't confuse your food groups!)

difficult MC tests, "you guys should know more than I do" is what she always says to us...hey! I thought we are here to learn something...apparently we have to study the textbook our own because her notes are all copied from the text...i wonder how she got her PhD...-_-

Just finished the midterm (Oct 12,05).. I can say the test was horrible. She pormised no DATE, NAME and questions related to USA but apparently there was more than 20 questions in this field! Here notes for studying the exam is USELESS and has mistake and she focused mainly on BOOK.. UNFAIR AND UNCLEAR TEST. take it with another prof!

I am very disapointed, I love to know how yorku hires these kind of profs, what is their values??she isn't helpfull at all, she wants students to fail, and if u email her about a class u missed she will not tell you what u missed, she is a freak. if you study the book very well you'll do ok, not goo, just ok.I wish we could do something about these

ATTENTION STUDENTS: DROP THIS CLASS IMMEDIATELY! IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO COMPLAIN ON THIS SITE! WRITE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THE PSYCH DEPT. ACTUALLY TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND TAKE A STAND, SO FAR I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS FORMALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROF. PLEASE JOIN ME IN HELPING "RETIRE" PAULINE!

do yourself a favour and do NOT take a course with this professor. She has nothing to say about the topic other than what she spits out of the textbook and asks the most insanely specific questions on her tests (ie. specific percentages from US stats with MC options within 1% of each other) after PROMISING not to put specific stats on her exam.

Just went 2 her 1st day class & then dropped the course.She doesnt have any interest in da subject she is taching!The course outline was not ready till the 2nd half of class and she started teaching chapter3,EVOLUTION skipping the whole Chapters 1,2! Save yourself and your money by dropping the course and signing the PETITION agains her!

All she does is go through her power-point presentations, regurgitating the text book word for word (no personal input). Charlton's voice is annoying (barely understandable), she hates what she does, she gets mad when you ask her questions, etc. You Can do good in her class...but do you really have the patience to put up with her for a semester?

Oh my God! AHHHH!! I hate Pauline...went to her first two lectures and realized that she was unbearable...worst prof in the existence of professors! She has no idea how to teach, or keep her students interested! I'm telling you, you take a course with her and you'll become a manic depressant! Stick to profs like Luther, Eastwood, Bauer, etc.

HOLY****!!! this class is supposed to be interesting, I am learning nothing, she can't pronounce words & doesn't even deliver the material to us through her overheads that she can't keep on for more than 2minutes!! SHE SUX

STOP COMPLAININ r you kiddin me,not enough room to complain about how this prof is awful, doesn't teach anything,can't even pronouce her wrds,wont leave the overheads on long enough for us to c wht is basically the txt book repeated!! Omg...i wanna die after her lecture, start smokin drugs & shave my ankles! DROP IT IF YOU CAN,please retire NOW!

WORST PROF IVE HAD IN 4 YEARS! I dont even go to the class b/c I cant stand listening to her. Her exams are full of mistakes and she has no idea what shes talking about for the most part. How is she a prof at York??? Even her T.A. thinks shes an idiot.

Apart from not speaking English properly, not knowing anything about the course material, having broken english on her overheads, not letting students copy anything down and being beyond useless at all times, she's a good prof... oh wait, thats all there is to being a prof. She can't have a degree, you'd need to be literate to get one.

wow! THE lasiest prof I have ever had. Teaches right out of the text, and offers no extra material. Honestly, the text was easier to understand than her. Her tests are brutal and she makes class soo boring. How is this woman still able to teach? Her knees must be pretty sore! Please don't waste your tuition on her!

is a real cow, her exams have too many mistakes, she distrubs u at least 10 times in exams to correct mistakes, cant speak proper english, her lectures are word for word from the textbook, so please dont copy nething down in the lectures. her TA does not seem to like her either.

Worst prof i've ever had! She makes an interesting topic very boring! All she does is copy paragraphs from the text! Basically there is no point in attenting lecture. She is also very unorganized. Her first test is easy but the second is killer. Study every word! She asks 130Q from 100 pages of material! Very unhelpful, stick to contacting the T.A.

horrible!!!!

I don't even know where to begin with this prof. She couldn't teach a fish how to swim. I don't care if Canada is a multicultural hub, she has an unacceptably poor handle on the English language. Her tests were completely random. Avoid her like the plague!

WORST prof i've had in 4 years! Powerpoints are horrible - just filled with paragraphs that are hard to read, tests are REDICULOUSLY hard for a first year course, she can't clarify any questions, and she remarks papers that the TAs mark and in many cases lowered the mark

Wow... the worst proff Ive ever had. She cannot teach, do not take this course if you dont have to!!!!!! Class average was a C.

She is awful!! All the above comments are 100% true!! Please avoid if possible. I don't know how she is still teaching.

This Professor was horrible, all her lectures came from the text book yet she wanted us to always attend class. If someone asked for help, she either refused to answer or didnt know the answer. its easy to get a good mark if u dont attend, once u study from the text. But she really annoyed me.

She is by far the worst most self righteous professor I have ever had. She refuses to acknowledge when she is mistaken, and she does not take it lightly when you challenger her. She is dismissive and passive aggressive. I seriously think this woman should not teach. Her slides are pointless and she does not post them, her exams are purposefully tri

She's always late for class. In spite of the course and the book being very interesting, she isn't able to make her lectures interesting. Slides are very bad, with "paragraphs" on each slide. She just reads off the slides. She is not able to explain concepts when you go for help. Tests are fair.

Avoid this professor at all costs! although an A+ is attainable it is NOT worth the stress this professor put me through ALL year... you are better off taking a different course (with half the amount of work you will get an A+) if you like ot meet with your prof's duiring office hours. than goodluck.. this prof holds none (never did!)

HORRIBLE PROF! HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BORING LECTURES. EXAMS ARE DIFFICULT. WORST PSYCHOLOGY COURSE TAKEN.

I was a TA for this course. I have worked with more than five different profs as a TA and this woman is by far the worst experience I've had. She does not understand the material and is regularly rude and arrogant towards students.

It is impossible to understand what she says. Does not go over anything that will be on the exam. She just talks about what she thinks is interesting. She talked about a book she thought was interesting for the first hour of one class. Going to class in completely useless. Thank goodness this was a really easy class where her help was not needed!

This professor was very unorganized and showed lots of movies,most of which we were tested on and were completely irrelevant to the course. I would highly recommend avoiding her classes.

A psychology professor with psychological issues. We watched a movie about the benefits of laughter and she made a note of saying we should laugh more and enjoy what we do. She later made a joke and the class laughed, she then accused us of laughing at her and suggest we should be quiet and not make fun of the professor we might learn something.

She was one of the worst profs I've ever had. She said the class could start at 9 instead of 8:30, but showed videos before 9 on which we could be tested. She answered questions WRONG and on several occasions a student had to intervene to answer questions for another student. She was less than helpful; I didn't learn anything from her.

If you want a good mark, take her class. If you want to learn "absolutely nothing" in class, take her class. How to pass? Read text and watch videos.

Why do we have to wait a month until allowed to review the test? Her lecture is boring and occasionally confusing. She spends more time on keeping a tight control on everything than on improving the lecture. I'm thinking about quitting.

Whomever said that the class average is A, that's a liar. In the summer course I took, as well as the one earlier taken by my friend, the average was slightly above 60. It took me a lot efforts to receive A-.

Test questions are rediculous.

She shows us too many videos and provides us very poorly composed tests. After the test, we had to wait for an entire month before allowed to look at our tests. I don't understand why.

This is my 2nd lecture with her. She does not explain any concepts, she simply reads HER lecture notes. Someone asked a question if she could explain glucocorticoid effects and she told Class she doesnt know youll have to learn it herself! I personally spoke with her and shes not a caring prof. Shes tenure so not worried about losing her job.

She simply doesn't care about student progress and finishes the job with as little effort as possible. Go ahead if you absolutely need the credit, but besides that you won't get anything else.

A girl got up and asked her privately about recording lectures, she proceeded to shout loudy in front of a FULL lecture hall, belitting us saying "obviously you can't read". Doesn't allow for a break during a 3 hour lecture then complains about people getting up and leaving - stopping the lecture to yell about it. Cannot answer questions you ask.

Honestly don't enjoy this class at all. The information isn't bad but the way she teaches is not very helpful. She reads off her slides and isn't able to answer questions, she instead says to google it yourself. She goes on tangents mid lecture about how people have no manners and how people leave early but she doesn't give breaks for a 3 hr class

This prof is the absolute worst Ive ever had. Her lectures are useless and painful to sit through and she assigns an impossible amount of weekly reading - like 4 times the reading load of any other course Im taking . Its extremely overwhelming. Feels as if the odds are stacked against you in this course.

All the blame for my disappointment in this course falls on Prof. Charlton. I am all for inclusivity, but if you're teaching a course in english, you would think there would some standard on your ability to speak it. She did not compensate for her linguistic shortcomings, as the lectures were often spent on useless, irrelevant material.

Avoid this professor if you can. She apparently doesn't care about what she was teaching or weather students are learning. She shows way too much video and when she doesn't, she reads of the slides. She couldn't answer questions. She has some emotional problems and shouted to several students in front of everybody.

Her English is very poor. Her lectures are basically incomprehensible. It's a shame. She knows the material, but can't communicate it clearly

Ive never cared enough to write a review. I swear she doesnt know what shes talking about- made up facts about known psychological experiments , events , and people. She forces attendance because otherwise no one would go. Shes also not very receptive to talking after class and not very friendly. Please avoid if you can, youre welcome.
