Tests are hard. A lot of online homework every weekend. She is nice if you are nice and show respect to her. Be prepared at home before lecture, you will understand (because she doesnt lecture much). Feel free to get help. I got an A+.

Dr. Talley is obviously new to Blinn online systems, but a great prof! A bit disorganized. The hw is tough- Launchpad did NOT work! Expects a lot from her students. Study ahead and you will pass. If you need help, ASK! She will not take any BS, for real! Take responsibility for yourself and your education and you will get a lot from her class!

Semester was CHAOTIC but I got a B. Fun and easy if you stay off your phone! I'm glad Dr. Talley didn't put up with that even when students gave her lip about it. Some students were really rude to her and she will call you out! She expects you to think for yourself and to know what you are talking about so STUDY! Not that hard.

Dr. Talley is VERY involved in the success of her students as long as they show initiative in their own success and are respectful. The test are specific to the reading and her lectures reinforce the material, so reading is a must. There are lots of opportunities for extra credit and she randomly gave extra credit on various things. Super cool Prof

I took this class during summer. This was a great class and I really enjoyed it. I do feel I may have missed out on some of the neat topic by not taking it in the fall. Overall this was a wonderful professor and I would take another one of her classes in a heart beat. Really helpful and available anytime. Definitely take!!

Apparently, she changed a lot based on what students needed. She is helpful and vry funny. I talked with her about my problems and she helped me study better and I did good in her class and my other class. Take her!

Ok so I forgot to rate her during class. Now that I read the posts I want to send in more than one. She is fantastic. We didn't do a semester project. We did a lot of class group stuff that was fun and helped me. I did have to read but the class was great.

This is my 2nd class with Dr. Talley. She's the best. I don't know what the other posts are about. Me thinks some entitled brats didn't get theIr way. LOL. Whatever. What I know is that she is a really different prof. She wants us to learn because this applies to our lifE every day!!!!! Take her classes. You won't regret it.

Take her class! She will talk with you until you understand. I never go talk to teachers and she was great. I went in with my roommate and she talked with us for over an hour. I will talk to all my teachers outside of clss now. i don't like to speak up in class especially if I don't get it. I hadn't read the book too much and she still helped.

The tests are from her lectures so take good notes. She has us go to the book to look up things first and then we talk about what it means. She gives reviews and the tests are over what is covered and what we talk about in class. If we take longer in class know that stuff. She is funny and down to earth. Its a blast in her class. sit up front.

She sets the rules makes sure we understand and then sticks by the rules. I totally respect that. I wish my A&M profs were more like her!

She's awesome! I actually look forward to going to her class. She really wants you ti understand the material and take something away from the class. She gives TONS of extra credit opportunities. She gives straight forward assignments and test reviews. The only downside of this class were the horrible video group projects. Would highly recommend!

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. If you show up to class and study the review she gives you in class for the exams, you will come out with an A. I've maintained a 99% average the entire semester. Take notes, apply the notes to the review, make sure you know the material, easy A. Lots of extra credit opportunities, easy going, good lectures.

Dr. Talley was my favorite professor coming into my first semester of college. If you actually try to understand and give your opinion during class lectures you will do awesome. She's so patient and willing to help anybody. She's so funny and actually cares about every single student in her class. love her.

I don't even need the final to pass. Gives bonus points and helps a lot. Dr. Talley Is the best and I actually learned some things. I took AP psych and knew a lot but she made this class really mean something to me. I am one happy young lady as she says.

Flew through the final. It was my only final that was straight from the reviw. And the review was straight from lecture. Thanks, Dr. T!

Dr. Talley was great. I wish I could take her again. There were some in the class who didn't like her. They were usually on their phones, though so they probably don't like most of their profs. Dr. Talley knows most of her students by name and checks on her students. She really cares. Take her if you can-and if you want to learn.

Take Dr. Talley's class! She loves students to get in on the discussion during lecture. She does not blah blah blah. She's fun and helpful outside of class. I asked her a couple of times about what she wanted and she talked me through it no problem. Great prof! I may change to psychology from history.

My class code or whatever isn't on here. I'm in the lifespan class now and I really am loving it. I have learned more in this class in 1/3 of the semester or whatever it is than in any of my classes last semester. I wish I had Dr. Talley last semester. She's really funny and she spends alot of time with students. LOVE HER

I'm in lifespan. you got real in class I respected you before now I really respect you thanks for getting tough. I heard some before class threatening to all drop and try to get you introuble. I for one will be glad when they drop not that I want to be mean or anything they just need to go. Way to go Dr. Talley!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Talley is an Amazing prof.! She gives tons of good feedback and is always there for her students. There is a project you have to do and it makes you think a lot. But she is there for every step to help you and give you ideas. Just to what she say and you'll do great. Would defiantly take her!

Took her for general and it was awesome! Tough grader but fair. The final project is really difficult but you work on it the whole semester and her office hours are pretty flexible if you just talk and email her. Highly recommended.

Project due at the end of year is hard but she helps. The reviews she gives are just like the test so study those and you'll do great.

Dr. Talley is great. The class is great. The semester was great.

I really wished I had waited to take Lifespan with Dr. Talley. It wasn't bad, I just kept thinking how much fun she would have made it!

Just got done with a summer class WITHOUT Talley. I had her last semester. I thought she was sarcastic and I guess she is some but she's just really really funny. Talk to her. She's great at helping. I used to sit back I took notes but I never talked to my teachers. she made me want to do that

Some items were changed, but it was mainly due to a new project she was having us try out, which she graded VERY leniently. I'm not sure if the other person was confused because they stayed glued to their laptop constantly instead of the discussion at hand. I don't recommend taking it with another class in the summer, but it's do-able.

Talley was so sweet and genuinely cares about her students. Her tests were difficult but online so my class would get together and take them, we made A's on almost all of them. She assigns one essay that's 3 pages and you do it in a group. Her lectures are pretty interesting and she keeps all of her students involved. I would take her again!

Dr. Talley is a not the kind of professor that is for everyone. If you are looking for an easy class then look elsewhere. This is however the professor you would want if your very passionate about psychology. Her lectures are pretty interesting and if you want bonus points it is important to participate.

There are 4 online exams given, lowest one gets dropped. She gives a lot of bonus points opportunities so make sure to participate. There was one group paper project which is assigned from the very beginning and isn't due until november. Overall, Dr. Talley was a great professor and I would definitely recommend taking her!

all test are online. final exam in class. One paper

Three exams all online. She lets you use notes and internet for everything. Extra credit if you participate in class. Final is in class but she gives you a very good review to study. One group paper, but choose people that will actually work.

Don't believe the crap on here. She's great and the class and her were the best experience I've had at Blinn. I got a b anx couldn't be happier. LOVE DR TALLY

My girlfriend made me write this I don't do these things. Yes Dr. Taley is great. She has so much enthusiasm and she smiles and laughs alot. We both had fun in her class and learned so much.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN! Although her lectures are a bit confusing, ALL of the quizzes are taken as a class so she gives us the answers. And the Tests ARE THE QUIZZES COMBINED!! (So just study those). She gives A LOT of extra credit/ bonus points. She makes class crazy! I LOVE HER. She does lecture heavy and doesn't let out early but who cares? TAKE HER!

The most caring, hilarious and intelligent professor Ive had. She gets sidetracked and may be a bit confusing but you work a lot as a class and its super interactive so its not hard to get back on track. Quizzes and tests are taken as a class. If you show up to class you get an A. Super simple. She keeps to class happy & fun. :)

Amazing woman, cares so much about her students success. Favorite teacher I've ever had. Quiz's taken as class and some core assessments. Hilarious and will take as long as you need to understand the content. Hard to not do well

Dr. Talley is my all time favorite professor. Shes the funniest lady and her lectures reflect that. The class is super interactive which makes it so easy to learn. She works hard to make sure everyone really processes the info & isnt confused & genuinely wants the best for her students. Take good notes and try and shell have your back.

Great!!!

There is Homework and a quiz due every Sunday by 11PM, but she has a Great Personality!

So much extra credit available, seriously take FULL advantage, it can mean a letter grade difference on every major exam. Dr. Talley can be scatterbrained at times but read and reread her instructions and TRY not to overthink it lol

I did not want to take Tally after reading all the these. I got stuck in her class bc of my work schedule and I am super happy I did. She is great and it's pretty easy. she explains everything in class and wants us to talk also. she basically sticks to the agenda. I love going to class. Take her!!

We aren't in class now!!! I just posted that I love class and I did. i loved it so much. i miss going to class and i have talked to Tally on the phone. she helped me with some stuff at my work. i was cut hours and it's been hard and then i had to move back home. Love her and the class even online now. Take her!!

The BEST during this terrible time after leaving school. I had to move back to my parent's house. She responded to my emails and talked to me on the phone when I was freaking out. We were already sending stuff to a dropbox so it was no big deal and we were doing quizzes online too. Great prof!!!!!!!!

Dr. Talley is amazing! A lot of reviews are negative but I feel it's more directed at her personality than her actual teaching. She is very out-going, out-spoken, and really wants you to succeed. She gives TONS of extra credit and even let our class retake an exam because we all did horrible. Don't be afraid to talk to her, she's so sweet!

Professor Talley makes her class fun! She interacts with her students and is very flexible. She covers all of the material to make sure her students are set up for success! As long as you apply yourself you will make an A!

Dr. Talley can get a bad rep but she is overall a great teacher! She gives TONS of extra credit opportunity! I finished the class with a 98.1% strictly due to all of the extra credit. She can be a bit out-spoken and may come across as rude but she never intends to. As long as she sees youre trying, you will do great!

She likes to make class time discussion focussed. I had to teach myself through posted slides since its kinda hard to follow her discussions but she is very generous in her grading. She drops many grades and has a grade system where 500 points are available but you need 295 to pass. I ended up with an A+ even tho the material is hard.

The class was great! Work was not :( There's a lot of extra helpful material out for this class though (iywim).

She is horrible at responding outside of class, but with the amount of extra credit there is to do, it would be hard to not get an easy a in this class. i got a 70 on my final two exams and finished with an 100. Definitely an easy A.

Online homework is very easy, and tests are just as easy. Not great at responding to emails or phone calls. Grades are very confusing, but easy to maintain an A throughout the entire semester.

Dr. Talley is very thorough and fair. Ask questions, attend class, and be organized.

Talley does a really good job with her lectures, handwritten notes are somewhat mandatory. Due dates are set at the beginning of the course so there's no confusion. Take good notes because questions on the quizzes/test are kinda verbatim. There's one group project. There's launchpad due every week. She responds to emails quick. Take Talley!

Talley is amazing, I was nervous at the beginning of the class but she did amazing with the lecture. Definitely tries to get everyone out of their shells and does great with activities in class. She makes class more fun than just lecturing about topics. Exams are very simple. Due dates are early set so no confusion. Very hard to fail this class.

Dr. Talley was an amazing professor. As long as you try in the class and show up to class you should pass. All tests and quizzes were online and open note. She had lectures really fun and did activities and got involved with the class. If you need help you can just talk to her after class and she will help.

Dr. Talley is AMAZING. She is easy to talk to, is generous when grading assignments and makes sure you understand the material. Homework is graded on participation, any questions you struggled with, you write down and she would cover it in the next class. She goes over all the content and any notes you take you are able to use on the quiz.

Everyone who gave her a bad review tried to pass without attending class. Dr. Talley's teaching style is more focused on you being engaged and learning some of the content so you can at least have takeaways from the entire course. If you fail her it's because you're lazy, not because she's responsible for you missing 3 weeks of an 8-week course.

I took Professor Talley in an eight-week in-person class. She is super sweet, however does provide a large amount of homework each week and a quiz in almost every class period. She is very interactive with the class and does a good job explaining lectures, but is very fast-paced. Overall, I would recommend this professor!

If you're a psychology major you MUST take Dr. Talley's class. It's the only way you're going to actually learn the material to help you succeed in the next psych courses you take. Or you could just be struggling when you get to upper level classes, your choice.

Fun, engaging, will help you if you ask but you have to show you're paying attention and doing the work. Make sure you go to class, this is not a course for people who just want an easy A.

I'm shocked at the negative reviews. Those people are obviously directionless and think everything should just be handed to them. Dr. Talley's class literally changed my life and made me change my major to social sciences. Expect to show up to class, be willing to participate (this is how she grades attendance) and ask questions.

Pretty good class but you must attend to get credit for certain things. She wants to make sure you're actually learning the material.

Dr. Talley keeps the class engaging with activities, and as long as you stay on top of things, the workload is manageable. The exams are straightforward if you attend lectures and use resources like unstuckstudy for study prep. Overall, a solid class if you're willing to put in the effort.

Professor Talley was absolutely amazing. If I could have her for all my classes I 100% would. Her lectures are very clear and always interesting, the class had a good routine which made it easy to keep up & understand. She always had fun games or projects and was super caring to all her students. 10/10 she was amazing.

Professor Talley was amazing if I could take her for all my classes I would. She had a routine with the class and it was very easy to keep up with. She does not take late assignments but the assignments aren't hard. The tests are easy and she allows notes on all of the quizzes which was awesome since it was a lot of stuff we covered.

She is a fun teacher, sometimes she can go off topic but most of the class is just taking LOTS of lecture notes. The only hard grades are tests and some quizzes, but you can use notes on everything! Just pay attention and do the daily prep guides and you should get a high grade.

She is a great professor!! You can use notes on every test so as long as you take good notes on her lectures, you will get an A. Her lectures are interesting and she does fun activities. Her teaching style is very effective and you will learn a lot in her class. If you have to take psychology, take her!!

Great professor!! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about psychology. Attendance is mandatory because participation in class is graded, but she drops two of them. Also, all of the tests are open note/Google. Would take again!
