Her class can get REALLY boring and can get you to sleep. Classes are mostly lectures, quizzes are on blackboard, a midterm and final, and about 6 hw assignments. She's a real sweetheart though and is more than willing to help you in anything you might need. Try to keep up with the work and you'll pass.

Robin (she says you can call her that) is a great teacher. She was sick a lot this semester - not her fault. Material is clear. Tests are on B/B. There were about 5 H/W assignments. 1 Mid/1 Final - both essay style. She never gave back most of the homework, but she is always there and willing to help if you have ?s.

She's very sweet. A little too lenient with the people who don't really care about the class. She'll have spent 2 days going over something and then someone who wasn't there comes back and she catches that one person up using our time. It could be a really great class if she enforced the fact that it's a college course.

The way she babies the class is almost insulting. This is college and students should be able to figure out Blackboard, the syllabus, and the class schedule without a whole day dedicated to EACH one. There is no academic challenge, but since she relies heavily on discussion, class is not totally uninteresting. Take her class if you need an easy A.

Psychology is not my major so I think that has a lot to do with the review I am leaving. Dr. Roy really cares about her students. I think the class definitely could have been done online and I felt the lectures were a bit tedious. I will say though, she was very helpful outside of class and really informative when asked questions.

Thoroughly enjoyed her! Very nice lady, wants you to succeed and is willing to help you however she can. Cancelled class often, but she always posted power points online so I didnt feel bad when I needed to skip class. 99% lectures in class, might not even need to take notes. Take some notes in class/review power points and youre golden.

Professor Roy is such a sweet woman. She loves what she does and she cares about her students so much. If you go to her saying you have been having a hard time and need help to catch up, she will do anything she can to help you. Her lectures can be long and a little boring, but as long as you take notes and listen you'll pass no problem.

Overall an interesting class. She gives a lot of good information with her lecture slides. There is a lot of assigned reading which can be time consuming so beware. Also if you plan on emailing her, good luck getting a response. She doesn't grade anything right away either.

Dr. Roy is an amazing professor! I switched my major to Psychology and she made the transition very easy. I took her for Psych 25 and Psych 3 and it's honestly hard to fail her classes. Although she doesn't really reply to e-mails, she is very caring and helps her students in any way she can! I would DEFINITELY take her again :)

I took psych 3 online and ended up having Dr. Roy as my instructor. She's very sweet and is usually available through email if you have any questions. The online course consisted of a lot of quizzes but they were based on the textbook so they were really easy.

TAKE THIS CLASS! Dr. Roy is such a reasonable teacher. I took her class online over the summer and she accepts late work and there's a 50 point extra credit. You need 900 points to get an A. The quiz questions came straight from the chapters powerpoint. She graded the discussion assignments at the very end of the course because her dog was sick

Professor Roy wasn't the worst teacher I've ever had and her class is doable if you're willing to sit through boring lectures. They can be really tough and she has this nervous habit of talking too much when she's anxious so office hours take long. The class wasn't bad but she's not very understanding and willing to work with students to help them

Lots of homework

Took her summer class, everything was super easy and I actually learned a lot. Assignments are mainly quizzes and they're based on the slides she gives. If you're not very independent then don't take her, she isn't great at replying to emails at all. Other than that, if you like working alone and at your own pace, I'd recommend her class

Dr. Roy is very supportive. If you ever don't understand something she is more than willing to help you out. She's really cool and her class is SUPER easy. 10 question quizzes each week on her lectures but you can either watch the lecture or read the powerpoint slides which are super clear, & that's literally the whole sem. + one casual paper

Prof. Roy was nothing but caring. Took her Intro to Social Psychology course last Summer. Course was accelerated which made things difficult as it was one of my first classes as a college student. Quizzes were great but overall fell behind in second half of course. Great professor and would take again if given the chance.

Great prof! Weekly chapter readings, quizzes, videos, & easy discussions/written assignments. Midterm & final are 2-3 pg reflection papers, plus an assignment where you find & summarize a journal article. Easy grader. Not accessible by email and doesn't grade til end of semester, so go to office hours to contact her, she's really nice and caring!!

I would definitely recommend taking her! While the lectures could be a bit boring at times (which I don't blame her for, there's not a lot to say on the topic), the labs & the group research project were super fun. The final paper of the class was also easy because she walked us through every step, & her quizzes had 2 attempts & were really simple.

Dr Roy was very kind throughout the whole semester. You can tell she cares about her students. I did an in-person class but only went a couple of times. Attendance is not mandatory, she posts everything online. The only thing is, the whole class period is her lecturing off a slideshow, which is not entirely ideal.

Professor Roy is a great teacher! Her assignments were straight forward. The quizzes had 2 attempts, and the answers were often in the lectures, so read the lectures. Assignments were very easy and. The only problem I really had was her grading. She graded EVERYTHING (From the beginning of the semester) a few days before grades are due.

Prof. Roy runs a great class. Assignments are straightforward - weekly quizzes, discussions, and a couple of papers. She's a fair grader and reasonably accessible, though responses can be slow. Definitely use unstuckstudy alongside the class materials for efficient study prep.

Professor Roy is one of the nicest professors ever. Super supportive and always willing to help. She accepts late work (up to 2 weeks), and the class is very manageable. Quizzes are based on lectures and can be taken twice. No exams, just reflection papers and research project. Only downside is she grades at the very end. Still, highly recommend!

Prof Roy is so sweet. Majority of the class is doing a research project which was a great experience. You can get by without using the textbook, just follow along the slides with her lecture. It's easy to get bored or distracted in class bc of the subject. Psy25 is not one of the interesting psyc classes. But Prof Roy is amazing !

Very easy class. We had quizzes every week and small assignments that she accepted late worth full credit. Offered extra credit as well. We had a big research project, which may seem scary, but we worked on it during class and she helped everyone out along the way and made sure to engage with every group.

Honestly she's super nice and the workload is manageable. The only thing that is super frustrating is that we have about two weeks left of the semester and she's only graded a total of two or three assignments. She sends announcements talking about grading and how she will get on it but has yet to do so.
