Ruth is a very understanding and helpful instructor. She will make every concept clear by discribing examples unitl you have reached an understanding. I recommend you use Ms. Wilcox for your Psychology course.
She is one of the best instructors I've had, and I would recommend her to anyone. I learned so much in her class, and it wasn't extremely hard.
I loved Ruth.Shee is great.All of her tests are open notes so if you dont make an a there is something wrong. Loved her so much, im waiting for her to teach a dev class so i can take her again.
I really enjoyed Ruth's class. This was my second time taking soc because the first time my instructor sucked. Ruth explains everything thoroughly and she knows her stuff!! Tests were easy and we had lots of extra credit!! Get in her class if you can, it'll be worth it!!
Ruth is an awesome instructor! She outlines notes for you on the board, gives you examples to clarify things and welcomes questions. Her tests are worded clearly (no trick questions)and very easy (with a little studying). You get so much info in her lectures that you don't have to study a whole lot. I definitely recommend her!
Ruth is a good teacher and makes the class intresting, a few days she missed class, she is delinquent about grading tests and posting results on blackboard, but would recommend her
She is very helpful! She really cares about her students. Her class was interesting and she gives great examples. I would definitely recommend her!
Ruth was one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is very, very helpful. She likes to make sure everyone understands the subject. She welcomes class discussions. Her tests are right out of the notes she gives you. All you have to do is show up to class and you will do just fine. I look forward to taking more of her classes! A+
she is a very good teacher. she answers everyones questions, there is no stupid question with her. she makes it very clear as to what is going to be on the tests, you just have to study. she made me want to change my major to Psychology.
she is so nice and easy. she understands home problems. easy soicology class.
Luv her. Very interesting teacher, u learn, n she makes it easy. Take her she is GREAT.
Sheis really nice . you take alot of notes ... your final is pretty easy too.
Amazing professor. I never finished the class due to health problems but prior to that, she was so helpful and worked with me to make sure I could catch up and make it. Brilliant, easy to understand and she'll explain anything you don't get. Best teacher I've ever had!
She is an excellent teacher. Very easy to get along with. Will work with you if you if you are absent. Offers extra credit, which you don't really need. I regret buying the book because the tests are based on lecture notes. Tests are easy if you attend class and take good notes. Attendance is worth alot of points!
She is kind, funny, and knows a lot. She's good about answering questions and doesn't give too much work. If you take good notes and pay close attention (and actually show up to class), the tests are easy. She's extremely sensitive if you're having problems outside of school and need some extra time. Good sense of humor.
interesting class, very easy
Easy going. Very nice lady. She will work with you. Great class discussions. Note taking is easy and clear. I highly recommend her.
Ms. Wilcox is wonderful! She is funny, kind, and helpful. Her teaching method is excellent and there really is no need for a book. All of her tests are from her lectures. Just take good notes (you can use them on all of the tests but the final). If you are happy with your grade before the final, you don't have to take it! I highly recommend her!
By far one of the BEST instructors @TCC! Learned so much both academically & personally from her class. She knows her subject inside-out & makes it interesting. Really cares about her students. No hw-5 tests (multchoice,match,t/f) & 4E/C ops. Can drop lowest test grade. No need for the book-tests are straight from lecture notes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Ms. Wilcox was truly an awesome teacher! I am not a psychology major, & had not had the class that was required to be in DevPsych, but Ms. Wilcox was kind enough to let me in anyway. I am so glad she did! I learned so much about her subject. She was such a great teacher, meaning she really cared about her subject, & knew her stuff too! Recommend!!
Awesome teacher, I would not pass up her courses! She makes learning fun, interesting, and comical!! Show up for class and do the extra credit. If your lucky she'll let you use notes only on the exams! EASY A
Mr.s Wicox is an incredible instructor! I strongly recommend her Developmental Psych class to anyone. If you come to class and devote a little amount of time to studying the notes, you will definitely make an A.
Amazing instructor. Incredibly smart lady. Has worked in the field. Knows her stuff. Cares about her students and genuinely wants them to succeed. One of the best teachers I've had. Tests from lecture. NO HOMEWORK! No ppt. Definitely recommend taking her class.
What a wonderful teacher! She helps you understand so much about yourself and how and why you do what you do... I learned so much from her. Her test were straight forward and pretty easy. She is about your cares about you getting it and will take her time, and knows how to get people back from rabbit trails! UGH! SHE IS AWESOME!!!!!
Ms. Wilcox is a very good teacher. Her philosophy is a stress free class where you don't need to be stress specially during an exam. As long a you study and listen to her lecture, you will have a good grade.
She held my attention very well, allowed questions and discussion, and she is a fantastic teacher. She is passionate and personable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! I never had to buy a book either.
Ruth Wilcox is Absolutly Wonderful Professor. Has a very good understanding of people. I would recomed her to anybody who needs to have the psyc class.
Dev Psy... If you don't pass with B or Higher it would be yor fault.
She is amazing! I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of Developmental Psychology!She is very helpful and clear.
She is Amazing! Super Helpful Had a night class and she even stayed after to talk to students. She is the best PSYC teacher I have ever taken. Highly recommend her!!
Wonderful teacher! She is one of my favorites this semester. She explains everything very well and her lectures are never boring. She is very understanding if u have to be absent or make up a test.
Wonderful person.Very helpful.Wants you to do well.Human Relations was very interesting.Tests,you must study.Would recommend Professor Wilcox to anyone.Great Lady.Care's about you as a person and student.
Best professor I've ever had. Interesting lecture that makes you actually want to go to class. Exams are from lecture so take notes and don't miss class. I never even bought the book, she covers everything you need to know. Gives lots of extra credit.
I had her for development psychology. Absolutely the most Amazing professor, I recommend her to anyone. Didn't use book much, take a lot of notes and you'll have all the answers. Great class.
One of the best professors I"ve had so far her lectures and material she presents are interesting. Her test are not easy but not super hard if you attend cless and take notes you'll pass this class I highly recommend her!
loved this class, in matter of fact, I think I found my calling
Easy class. Didn't learn much. Didn't have to buy the book.
I love her class. She is easy and her test follow her lectures. We did not really use the books. You will learn alot of information. I took her for Human Relations and will be following her for future psych classes
Best teacher I have had in my college career so far. She doesn't the book, but she tells you anything & everything on the board & she gives a study guide & gives you a day to go over it w/ her in class. If you don't make @ least a B on every test, you aren't coming to class or hearing what she is saying. She is the best instructor I've ever had!
Patient, Kind, excellent Mastery of knowledge for this course and beyond. Her tests are not easy, but she gives good study guides. If you are a good note taker you can fill in study guide from your notes. excellent style of teaching. She makes learning Psychology FUN!!!
Professor Wilcox was awesome! She was very helpful and very thorough with material. Keeps class entertained, has class activities to help understand material better. She's funny and is willing to help no matter what! Take lots of notes of everything she writes on board fill out study guide and study it & you will do great!
This professor is the BEST professor I have ever had in my college career. I wish I could take her to teach all of my classes in the future! Come into class and listen and take notes and you will NOT need the text book AT ALL.
I took this professor TWICE and loved her. I want to take her with me to teach EVERY class I need. Recommend her to anyone. No book needed, PERIOD.
Loved her class! Awesome all around, taking her again.
LOVED this class. Show up and take notes, that is all you have to do to pass her tests. She is very knowledgeable, interesting and funny. She makes class time go by really quickly and cares about her students.
Ruth is a great professor, very informative and keeps class interesting with new content matter, videos and ted talks. She prepares you well for the tests and they 95% match up with her lecture. She also grades on a curve, Would taker her again!
One of my favorite classes!
She's a very nice lady and loves teaching. You do have to go to class because the tests are based on her lectures, not so much the book. She gives out study guides and offers a good amount of extra credit but I got an A without doing any extra credit. Tests are a bit difficult but she takes off your lowest test grade at the end of the semester.
Ruth is incredibly well organized, fair, & communicates what you need to know clearly. She's also a great listener and gives amazing feedback (!). She tries to make lecture varied for individual learning styles, which I really appreciate. She knows her psychology in and out, and takes her students seriously. She's a real gem--highly recom'd!
She is amazing!!! Absolute favorite teacher I've EVER had! Seriously considering psychology as my major now. Absolutely incredible, nice, and sooooo interesting! Learned so much and had my mind blown so many times. Tests are 100% lecture based, but if you pay attention and study hard (study guides provided), you'll be fine. Got 109% on one test!
You could not have a better teacher than Prof. Wilcox. An Easy A if you study the exam reviews and do the practice quizzes ahead of time.
Wilcox was a good teacher. The way she gave her lectures was something that I didn't like, but she was a lovely person. She is super helpful and always gives good feedback. She drops your lowest test grade at the end of the semester. YOU NEED AN ACCESS CODE FOR HER CLASS. You don't need a physical copy of the book. I would take her class again. :)
Professor Wilcox is a wonderful person and teacher. She really cares about her students success and gives more than enough opportunities to succeed. Don't listen to the people that said her lectures were bad... they are straight forward. What I love about Wilcox is her vast knowledge of psychology and her great personality. Take her class!!!
Doctor(Professor) Wilcox, was the best choice I could have picked as far as Psych went. Very understanding, if you miss class make sure you get the notes from another classmate. She doesn't talk down to you and is very responsive, gives lots of extra information. Doctor Wilcox left me wanting to take more Psychology courses.
A good teacher, one of the best at TCC.
During lectures, Ruth gave time for students to take notes, ask questions, and gave an opportunity for feedback. Take good notes and you'll do great in this class! Very interesting lectures that I looked forward to. Organized. Very clear about what is going to be on the tests. I wish she could teach all my classes!
Dr. Wilcox is amazing! I was nervous about taking this course, because I have horrible text anxiety. If you go to class, and pay attention to her lectures you will do great on her exams. She does offer extra credit, which is very helpful!
really love her. text book is online and attendance i srecommended. great lectures. drops one test grade and throws out the 3 most missed questions on a test. would definitely take again.
The best professor I have had so far, I highly recommend her. Awesome lectures, she always give you exactly what you need to know for every single test and she drops the 3 most missed questions on the test. She makes it so easy to learn
LOVED having her as a teacher! Felt like I learned something new everyday and actually enjoyed being in class. Sad I wasn't able to take her for developmental psychology due to other mandatory classes. Would definitely recommend!!
Professor Wilcox's lectures were very informational and weren't boring at all. She encourages discussion- which can get a little annoying when some classmates like to drag it on & on and can be really irritating. Offers 5 extra credit opportunities. Drops lowest test grade. Easy online assignments that can all be found on quiz-let. study for tests
If you want to do good on the test which are a huge part of your grade you do need to attend class. If you study you will receive an A on all tests. Shes a great lecturer. She makes learning fun
Dr Wilcox is knowledgeable. The tests were based on her lectures. She had a unique lecture style that was hard to follow. She is a bit irritable often. She can be funny but also a bit short/terse. I noticed other students reluctant to ask questions when she was having sortof a bad day. In class she shows lots of examples that help. Class was ok.
Best Prof I have ever had the pleasure of having. She never made anyone feel dumb, and she answered every questions and still kept on track.
she uses the book but it is online. lectures are great and easy to learn from. tests come straight from her lectures. she stays on topic shows videos and great examples to help remember specifics. gives a study guide that helps tremendously. great prof all around!
She is a GREAT professor and her lectures are very engaging. I always look her up when it's time to enroll again.
Yeah, um, do not take her online course. A lot of random hw assignments that have nothing to do with the actual material. Also, she does not give you a hint of what to study for the test which makes the tests hard. This is a PYSC online course at freaking TCFREE. It is not supposed to be challenging. Terrible prof and terrible class.
Dr. Wilcox is amazing simply put. I recommend her to anyone. She gives tests based on her lectures, which are based on her section outlines. Extra credit is also offered.
She is fun, gives clear lectures, answers all your questions, and I would take this class again even if I didn't have to!
I took her Intro to Psychology class Fall 2018 and it was my favorite class I've ever been in. Her lectures are interesting and easy to stay engaged with. Gives you a clear study guide for all exams, if you pay attention and study them, there's no reason you shouldn't get an A. She was very caring, and was so supportive of me as a student & person.
She was super great. Lectures but theyre fun and always interesting. Straight forward with tests. Study your notes!! Theyre the exact same as the test. Even if you take the class just for credit which is what I did and most of my class did, it is worth it and you will want to take it again
Lectures are all hand-written but very easy to follow. We had 26 chapters of LaunchPad assignments. This busy work was super easy. We had a total of 4 exams. The final was optional and it was a combination of all the tests, which were handed back after each exam.
I took her class during summer so it was 8 weeks compared to 16 so the work was a little too much BUT even then I was able to get an A in her class. Totally recommend. She emails fast, answers all questions and is very involved. I also took this online so there was a lot of reading involved but I learned so much. I would definitely recommend.
I love Professor Wilcox! I wish I could take her for more classes. You can tell she is very passionate about her work. Weekly assignments and 4 take home tests.
She is an amazing professor! The textbook was online and free. As long as you write down what she writes down on the board for your notes and write examples she gives you its a piece of cake!! I would DEFINITELY take her again. I am still using the notes from this class in my other psych class now. Shes very understanding. Show up and take notes!
Prof. Wilcox is amazing! Her lectures are very interesting. You do have to show up to pass. Write down everything she writes on the board. Her tests are take home and based on her lectures.
all exams and quizzes are take home, she is very passionate about her job and teaching.
Definitely need to show up because tests based on lectures. She's a rare gem, has given me good feedback, and recognizes you for hard work. I adore this lady. I hope to take her for psych 2.
My favorite hands down. She's amazing in every sense of the word. Taking her again for Psych 2. You won't regret taking her!
Dr. Wilcox is a rare gem! I am on my 3rd semester with her. She is very understanding, compassionate, and gives amazing lectures! Took Developmental over the summer and passed with an A+. Showing up and taking notes from her lectures are a must! Light homework.
Prof. Wilcox was amazing when it came to learning about psychology, she explained things very well and she knew how to bring scenarios into the lectures so we could understand better. Many extra credits are given, her work is easy but just make sure you go to class because it's important. I would gladly take her class again if I could.
She is an amazing professor and if you need developmental psych as a pre-req take her! Your test are take home and open book. Online assignments are due on a weekly basis and take no longer than 30 minutes to complete. It is overall a really easy going class! Easy A+
DevPsyc was an easy class with her. Super nice and chill. Exams are given before the weekend and are taken home. Lectures were interesting. She asks if class has any questions every so often. Overall, easy A and would definitely take her class again.
This course had a light workload with 1 DB due a week w/ peer responses, and throughout the semester 2 group projects, 2 papers, and 5 exams (w/ the lowest scoring exam getting dropped off). She was always available to answer questions and would get back with me within 24 hrs. The entire course is straight out of the textbook, almost word for word.
Ez.... Easiest class you'll ever take in a good way, you actually learn instead of worry about a grade.
Great teacher! Not a lot of work handed out. Weekly discussion boards, 1-2 group projects, and exams after every unit. There was about 1-2 reflection papers (4 paragraphs long). Assignments were easy and to point. Very manageable class to take! Everything was easy and clear on what to do! I will definitely take this professor again!
Super sweet professor! She definitely cares about her students and you can tell she loves teaching psychology. Her lectures are super informative and interesting. We usually had 1-2 assignments a week and 4 exams but they were easy if you did your work and listened to the lectures! Amazing class and professor!
Professor Wilcox was a hoot! She made class fun by using games, videos, and interactive examples. She cares about her students and makes class extremely enjoyable. The assignments were easy and with no final with lots of chances for extra credit. I was so sad when the semester ended! 100% take her class, you won't regret it.
Nice teacher, Easy homework and exams. Just use your textbook and you'll pass the exams. She is confusing on some of her instructions at times and takes a bit to grade things, but she is kind, and the work is steady/easy. 13 BB discussions, 3 exams, 2 group projects.
Class is easy, but the professor isn't very tech-savvy and is a slow grader.
I love Professor Wilcox. I have taken her for two classes, and she is one of my favorite professors at TCC. She is caring, and the classes are so interesting. She makes assignments easy, but you still learn a lot of information. I'd take her over and over again.
So thankful for this professor! For my first semester back in school, her class gave me so much motivation. Such a valuable and introspective class, you will absolutely learn with ease.
She was recommended to me, and I loved her class. The textbook was free and online. If you take notes of everything she writes on the board, you are good. Four tests, take home, and are on exactly what she talks about in class, so you have to show up. She is very forward thinking and progressive which was extremely refreshing. Highly recommend her.
Easy class, everything assignment is take home. Lectures were fun and engaging. Above all Dr. Wilcox is just a wonderful soul. Very kind, caring and encouraging. If you're having struggles she works with you. She truly represents the best of humanity.
Ruth is very sweet and will work with you if you have a problem. All you have to do is write a discussion post each week and take a test at the end of the chapter. There are a couple group projects. All around great professor and class.
would take a course again
I took Professor Wilcox for Abnormal Psychology. I was hoping for more learning and lecture. She does group case studies and no lectures so you don't really learn anything which was a bummer since i was looking forward to this class. Once you start the case studies, nobody shows up to class.
