She is a very likeable teacher and has a fairly easy grading system. Some assignments could be a little more detailed.
Very helpful teacher. She is easy to understand as well as her assignments are. Just show up and do the assignments, and you'll be fine. Very pretty as well.

Smart, easy going, fun class.
She was great, explained everything that was asked and went over all that was needed. Awesome
Made a hard subject interesting and easy to learn. Pay attention to the assignments and lectures and its golden!
I enjoyed this class and the instructors teaching skills. Even during the fast paced summer semester I did not feel stressed. Grading was fair. Teacher was knowledgable and concise.
Super fun class, very good teacher! no one else would be as great a teacher as she was. it was a blast in class, very funny and not boring at all
She is awesome! She understands that most students have other classes besides hers so she never assigns a ton of homework. She finds a way to relate the hard material, so everyone can understand it
She's a fun teacher, and I felt that I learned a lot in her class.
She is an awesome teacher. She made a class that could been really confusing one of my favorite classes. She's always willing to help, and really loves what she teaches.
Racheal Laimon is an hardworking young lecturer who wants you to do your work very well. She is always ready to assist you and she teaches as if it is the easiest thing to do! Extra credits are always there to assist and most importantly, she is amiable and approachable. Recommended to students.
Very interesting prof. Explains things several ways until you understand. Class is fun, take notes, your final is based on them. STUDY!!!
Dr. Laimon is very organized, and the information she presents is very clear. There is a lot of note taking, and you must study the notes and read the chapters, because she thoughly covers the information. This is definetely a class for someone that is really intersted in understanding Psychology. She is an excellent instructor!
Good teacher for the most part. The fact that my class was three hours long was the contributor to my lower grade; it was just too much too fast. She descrimes things in an interesting fashion. YOU MUST STUDY OR YOU WILL FAIL. Her quizes are tough, she wont assign reading but read anyways!
Good class, everthing is pretty cookie cutter, you just have to show up and listen.
Great teacher. So willing to help and actually teach the material. The hardest part was the survey project, but I learned a lot. She makes it interesting!! We always stayed to the end of class so don't plan on leaving early.
She is very helpful and goes over all the material in an engaging matter. Just study the notes
BEST PROFESSOR TO TAKE FOR PSYCH. her lectures are interesting, and broken up by hands-on activities. her power points are very clear. she creates study guides for every test. IT IS AN EASY CLASS IF YOU ATTEND AND COPY DOWN HER NOTES. very interesting.
Doc Laimon was a great instructor. We learned a lot about adolescents. Very interesting class. I would take her for a teacher again.
Professor Laimon is a great teacher. However, if you don't take the class seriously, she will sniff you out and treat you accordingly. Attendance is very important. It's hard to catch up if you miss anything, but you will enjoy being there. She makes the time go by fast because she's genuinely interested in what she's teaching.
She is a great teacher. Lots of notes. Her teaching style is hands-on with lots of interactive activities and stories. If you have a question she will help you to better understand.
Easy if you go to every class and take notes. Lots of notes, study them, and read the chapters. She makes it fun and interesting.
Fun class. She was very interesting and told some very interesting and fun stories that went along with the lecture. She made the 3 hours go by very quickly. She gives opportunities for extra credit. Excellent professor.
Will embarrass herself just to help the class remember her examples. Has 4 papers which arent long and she will take the grade from your best 2 so if you do good on the first 2 you wont have to do another. She helps a lot before the exam also. Food and study day at the end!
I liked Laimon a lot. She is a fun young teacher who clearly loves psychology. Her class isn't too difficult by any means as long as you have good attendance and take notes. Oh yea, she's pretty hot and has a good sense of humor too.
She is an Excellent professor. Very Helpful. All her power points are on blackboard for students to print. Not many assignments and she can keep students interested in what she's teaching.
Teacher loves what she does, will make a fool of herself to get the point across. Not alot of homework. Attendance is a must to follow the class. Great teacher!
Dr.Laimon was amazing!!! She is super easy to follow along with and all of her tests and quizzes come off of her slides. Attendance is a must because her slides are fill in the blank.
She's a super good professor. Very helpful, keeps things interesting, fairly easy class, and fun. Just show up to class, take notes, study, and do the work and it's a piece of cake.
Easy if you attend class and follow her notes.
Doctor Laimon is AMAZING! I love going to her class, and learning something new every week. She makes things interesting and is a great teacher.
She's an ok teacher. I've noticed that she is extremely s3xist and favors males in the classroom. This gets very annoying. I've seen her snap on female students for no reason and act very kindly toward male students. I would avoid her if you are a woman!
Incredible teacher. I did not notice any s3xist and I am a woman. Attending class is critical to doing well. Made class very interesting and lively. Absolutely recommend her for this class
Very helpful. She gives you her e-mail and her cell phone number, and usually responds in a timely manner. I didn't notice any sexism towards females, and I am a female. I recommend any gender take her. If you listen in class and take notes, you'll do great!
She is extremely awesome! She interacts with the class every day and has a bit of comedy to keep the boredom down. Quizzes every week but extremely helpful in the long run. I highly recommend her to all!!!
If you print out the powerpoint outlines, fill them in, and pay attention in class, you're sure to get an A. I only used my book when she specifically had us read something from it in class. Super easy, and a wonderful professor!
She is an excellent teacher. Just print the power points, fill them in during her lecture, study them. She made the class fun, I looked forward to going.
Very good teacher! All your notes are online, offers extra credit, is very willing to help and answer questions. I saw absolutely no sexism and thought she was very fair and nice to everyone. Doesn't like cell phone use, and you defiantly need to come to class if you want to pass. Would love to take her again, shes great.
This Professor is incredible in my 3 years of school she is by far the best teacher I had yes her class is not easy but she teaches it the right way and I learned a lot from her and her examples and the way she uses all learning techniques is great. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
She is the best professor I've ever had. The way she explains things and the examples she gives lets us understand the material in an up to date way. As long as you pay attention in her class, you are sure to not only get a good grade but to remember and understand for real life experiences! take her class
great teacher, hard class.I would take one of her classes again.
Best teacher ever! She's awesome at keeping it focused in class and getting the stuff done while allowing for lots of discussion. she makes a fool of herself in order to act something out so you can easily understand. Super fun and I was dreading taking this class, but loved it! come to class and study your handouts and you'll EASILY B+ this class.
Very fair. Print and study powerpoints easy B... A with very little extra work. She says that 20% of testing comes from text. I passed with an A and never opened my book a single time. She covers everything well in lecture. Real nice to look at as well.
Teacher is extremely helpful. Has fill in the blank powerpoints to help you learn. She gives you the exam questions in a study guide at the beginning of the term. Best teacher I have had so far.
This professor is amazing! Very charismatic and knowledgeable.
Shes obviously been teaching this class for a while. The scratch off scantrons are nice, as well as the fill-in-the blank powerpoints.
interesting class. keeps it interesting but very difficult. have to work hard to get an A. dont you dare miss a day of class let alone a "quiz" test. shes very rude and basically tells you your wrong all the time but alright teacher
Dr. Laimon is the best teacher at MOTT. She gives you all the notes & goes over all of them in class. Barely used the book, will give extra credit in beg of semester.Study what she tells you too,you will get an A. She gives lottery scantrons!She doesnt ever respond to emails and she gets irritated quick after class when you need to make up exam.
Dr. Laimon is one of the best teachers I've had so far at Mott. She makes the class fun and interesting. Hardly use the textbook, I only used mine once. As long as you print out the powerpoints and fill them in you should do fine. Didn't really like the lottery scantrons because if you mess up and skip a question you can't fix it.
Very knowledgeable. makes sure students understanding is accurate covers everything from the book and gives awesome study guides. Great teacher! Recommend her to anyone!!
Very fun class and she is well organized. Maybe a little tough on grading papers (you will write 2 out of 4 papers) but very interesting topics. I found the book to be crucial for this class because some quiz answers come write from the book and not just her teachings. Final exam was easy because she gives you the material beforehand.
If you pay attention in class along with the power points and fill in the blanks the class is super easy. We had a couple papers to write but the instructions were very clear cut. She is an amazing teacher and really makes class fun! I recommend her!
Fantastic instructor!!!!
Excellent instructor !!
Dr Laimon is a very articulate professor. If you just want a good grade without working hard for it, move on if not then take her. She has an example for everything that maximizes course retention. Yes so what if you have to write 2 papers , you are in college. She can be moody at times but everybody has a bad day so get over it. TAKE THE CLASS.
Great teacher, has fun with the class and loves to tell stories but are also really helpful, would take her for every class if I could!
Racheal Laimon is so much fun and has amazing stories that help you memorize information. Instant feedback scratch off test are awesome and super helpful. Only a few test and 1 to 3 papers. Easy class as long as you study and show up
She is one of the best professors that I have had so far. This was my second time taking one of her classes. She makes the class fun and uses real life examples to make sure everyone understands what she's trying to teach. As long as you print off the powerpoint notes from blackboard and fill them in during class you should do fine.
Not helpful, seemed frustrated and aggravated most class sessions. If you attend every class and print all power points and study you will pass.
Best teacher I've ever had. She's so relatable as a person and her quizzes aren't hard because her examples stick in your head. I would take her for every class I have if I could.
Uses real-life examples to help you understand her lectures. If you have a question, she will answer it and will make sure she asks you if she's answered your question thoroughly. Make sure to print out the Powerpoints. You'll definitely learn a lot of new things, and it's a fun class.
She's a very hard teacher, her quizzes are very hard. I would not take her again, and I don't recommend anyone to take her classes.
A fantastic professor and person. She uses real examples and makes the lectures interesting. I would take her again in a heartbeat. Her exams are hard, but her class overall was great. Just take notes and go to class and you will be fine. She is amazing and knows what she is teaching.
Test were super hard, would not recommend this class to no one
If you attend all classes, take good notes, and read textbook chapters it is a easy class if you do not read textbook and skip classes you will fail this class. I will take a class where she is instructor anytime
I found her hard to listen too, lots of rambling and pacing. Real life stories, ok but can we just get down to business. The scratch of scantrons are a joke, one small error and points are taken off. I don't expect anything given to me and I don't mind hard work but really. Oh well good luck.
Great professor but very difficult. There is a lot of content to cover and she expects a lot. Study hard and you will pass. She does hold office hours and she genuinely cares about how her students perform and how they are doing in general.
Dr. Laimon was amazing! She outlined everything that we were going to do throughout the semester on the first day. Her tests were very reasonable and her lectures were interesting and fun. I fully recommend her!
She's very personable, knows how to keep the class focused. I like her teaching style. She knows what she's doing. Professional and fun.
She often brings up her divorces. Her teaching style is good but the stories she uses threw me off so much during the semester! she is very unclear about what to study you study the chapter but she wants you to use her notes? Oh yeah you have to write a 3 page paper in her class as well
This professor DOES NOT help what so ever. Expects you to learn the material yourself. When you ask what you can do to boost your grade she tells you to read the book. Not an ideal professor unless you are auditory. Not willing to help raise your grade. Gives some lecture for some chapters but not much homework.
Dr. Laimon is my favorite professor! She gives many examples and scenarios to help her students understand concepts and terms in the notes, and she makes sure everyone understands what she is teaching. She gives amazing outlines for notes and does not rush through the notes. She also gives many opportunities for extra credit! Highly recommend her!
Doctor Laimon was a great professor and I'm honestly disappointed I wont have her for more classes. Her lectures were clear and and she gives note outlines so you know exactly what is on the quizzes. She also gives many opportunities for extra credit so this class is an easy a that does not require much time out of class. Absolutely loved her!
Laimon gives great examples during lectures. Only graded on tests and one paper. Will only use the book about twice for minor details. Notes are powerpoint based. Don't miss class too often, but you could manage to miss one or two and still get an A. Laimon is pretty funny and really knows her stuff. The final exam study guide makes the final easy.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. She does require lots and lots of reading . But she is absolutely awesome.
Mrs. Laimon can be very condescending at times. She is just different I guess. Although her lectures are very easy to understand, her tests are extremely difficult including the paper that is required for us to turn in. Tough grader. She gives a lot of extra credit though so if you bomb a test you'll at least get extra points. yay!
She is very kind and she makes her lectures personable by adding in her examples that she has actually experienced. She keeps your attention by giving you activities and anecdotes so it's not just boring note-taking. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I asked a lot and she answered all of them thoroughly!
I loved having Mrs. Laimon for my Psychology class. She makes the lectures very interesting, making sure that you understand the material. The quizzes were case based. I liked that she didn't get us lost into details, I left that class having a solid base in Psychology. Never a dull moment in her lectures, I would love to recommend her. Amazing!
Good class! I learned a lot. Not easy by any means, but enjoyable. I had to work hard for my A. Grading is clear. Study the book!!
No doubt the hardest class I have ever taken at Mott. I've been attending for two years and have not run into a professor as hard as Doc. Don't get me wrong, incredibly nice lady, but the tests made up a huge portion of the grade and if you didn't do well you failed. When taking the exams, nothing we covered was on them.
One of my favorite professors at Mott. Makes lectures enjoyable and fun! Take good notes! Study the study guides as tests are a large portion of your grade. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Would not recommend taking in the summer or online, because it is a lot of information to cover in a small amount of time
Tough grader and doesn't always make it clear what you are supposed to study. Constantly feel like you are studying the wrong thing when she gives a test that has several questions you don't recognize on it.
I would not recommended her. She is a very tough grader and not very understanding. The test didnt cover anything that was in the chapter and your grade is basically how well you do on test. The quiz and test are times and you get very little time. Very tough grader on assignments as well. I would not recommend her!
Great professor and very respectful. Gives a lot of information and resources considering it's an online course. The only complaint I have is that 5 question quizzes make up about 80-90% of your grade for the online class. Meaning, if you do bad on one quiz, it will bring you down as much as 2 letter grades.
Very Tough Grader, If don't do good on the unit-tests you can forget getting an good grade.
Tough grader. The way the class is run seems lazy to me. It's easy to miss things that are due like quizzes or discussions because they're kind of hidden within all the other things she puts out. A very distant teacher. No emails for reminders, no zooms. Lectures are long and honestly I feel like there could be a better way of doing the class.
This class was horrible. She gave so much work, so many timed test/quizzes where you would have one minute per question and the question was 9-12 sentences. Would def. not take a class with this professor again.
She doesn't require much work. As long as you read the textbook, this class isn't bad at all. There's a few discussion boards throughout the semester, 4 tests, and weekly quizzes. She occasionally makes videos explaining difficult concepts and the videos are really helpful. Overall she's a nice person that's down to earth. I'd recommend her!
Amazing professor, I took this class online so engaging in the zoom meetings were very helpful, she also records videos explaining the information, she records the zoom meetings so you can go back and watch & also reading the information in the text book helps. she also gives great feedback!
Dr. Laimon was great. You have discussions every couple of weeks and they were not difficult topics to participate in. The tests weren't too awful, the only thing that wasn't great is she gives you 5 minute buffer on tests. Felt rushed for tests. You'll have ample opportunities to turn in extra credit, and she offers 2 slip passes which was great.
Thank you for a great semester, professor!
I had her for a mini mester online so not long, but she is cool and I really liked her class and communication skills
Best psych teacher ever!! Seriously (Doc) is amazing and one of the most organized, caring and respected professors I have ever met. I do not recommend taking Amanda Lemaster's class or any other psych teacher. Only Dr. Laimon
She would not respond well to questions.
Dr. Laimon I absolutely amazing! The worst part about her class is that it is very test heavy. Taking the unit tests are very important and making sure you do good is even more important! Also, the textbook for her class is loose leaf so make sure you have a big binder to fit the book in there. Not hard class to pass, just difficult to study for.
Unit tests and quizzes are very heavy and require much studying but Dr. Laimon provides so many resources. I also like the use of the Slip Weeks, having saved my butt a few times. As long as you study with all the material and don't slack, you'll do fine. Also responded to emails very fast with good communication. Would take again!!
Almost your entire grade relies on tests. You have to read a chapter per week and take a quiz, and then there are 4 unit tests. Tests are multiple choice. You have to go to campus to take the tests if your class is WCA. Minimal discussion boards but be careful not to miss them! Did offer extra credit at the end.
