Would never take her again

Rothschild is the worst professor I've ever taken, she gives you a packet of notes for every chapter and she literally just reads the notes in class

Very clear lectures. She gives you photocopies of her lecture notes, which you can just add to. Tests are pretty easy...a lot of common sense. Attendance is 1/6 of your grade, so don't blow it off. Opportunities for extra credit.

she is a pretty cool teacher. Class is not difficult to pass at all. Especially with attendance and extra credit. When she goes over the tests MAKE SURE you argue every problem.Even if you got it right. Because she gives half credit for it if you give good reason. One test she actually gave us like 10 extra points and i think i argued at least 6

Easy class, however, she is prone to making very uneducated statements in class, (i.e. "I don't care what the studies have shown, I can tell you for a fact that......". A bit of a spacey modern-day hippie. I would bet dollars to dimes that she has way more cats than the average household should have. Easy pass, worthless content.

This teacher is really into teaching her own beliefs. During a couple of her classes she hypnotizes students, does chanting, meditation,etc. She gave me the creeps. she is really into changing peoples "misconception" she calls it, I call it beliefs.

The tests are based on class notes. It's important to be punctual (attendance is scored) and add to the notes (packets) that are provided. You will need to study the notes at least three times, before a test, to gat an A. The students that perform poorly, miss classes, show up late, and think they can pass with minimum effort.

I'm a Psych major and her class is not enjoyable, her tests were hard for me since I can't learn by the way she 'teaches'. She doesn't actually teach, I wish she did. Psych should be fun. :/

Professor Rothchild is one of the best teachers I ever had in BC. She only give 3 exam which are to answer 3 or 4 questions. You must answer each question with two paragraphs. And also she do discussion in class which can help you boost your grades. All you have to do is give your opinion to the subject shes talking about. I promise take her.

Really great professor, but the class is VERY lecture heavy, and the lectures are the only source of info apart from the notes. The grade was the average of three tests but the tests were really easy because all the information was covered in the notes and the lecture.
