Great Teacher!!! I recommend this Prof. to anybody who has to take psych 1010. If you just do your part in studying and going to class, you will be fine. She also gives alot of extra credit for those who are behind, and gives really good examples that you can relate to. Vary Good Teacher!!!

Great teacher. There is a lot of information, but she really helps you learn it with good examples. I recommend her class.

you dont need to attend, she gives you a review of everything you need to know on the exam. its simple just look it up in the book. i liked the class shes a good teacher.

Even though her class was very easy, she's not the best professor. She really doesn't know as much about the subject as she should, considering she's a councilor on the side. I learned more in my high school psych class and was able to point out inaccuracies in her lectures at least once a week.

Would recommend this teacher to everyone...she's very interesting with her own situations that she can relate to the subject to the class. Attend class and read the text book and you WILL get an "A" (4.0) with her! Good Luck!

Very great teacher - not an incredibly intellectual type, but she truly simplifies difficult concepts. Read the book. Also, she is very attractive.

Excellent teacher who clarifies everything that is required. Lots of extra credit opportunity. A lot of powerpoint, but she doesn't just read off of the board or book, she goes into depth and makes sure you understand the concepts. Excellent teacher!

The class was pretty easy. Her lecture notes followed the book exactly. She seemed pretty knowledgeable about the subject. She gives a lot of Extra Credit which means you should not have any issues.

I liked her a lot and she would tell you what would be on a test. I would highly recommend her!

she's and amazing teacher,she makes it very easy to learn and she teaches very clear and is very understanding,shes very easy to talk to also,deffintly recommend her to anyone

Shes very excited about Psychology and always presents the material in an interesting manner. Don't bother to buy the book with this one, she puts everything you need on the powerpoint.

Great teacher she has everything that is going to be on the tests and exams in the slideshows. She gives study guides. Really no need to buy the book, I barely touched it! I would recommend her for psych 1010 :)

Great professor! Take notes,study, show up and be on time, you will do good.

I loved prof. wormer. For my 1st yr in college i'm glad I got her as a teacher. It was a bit of note taking, but she made it so easy to understand. She kept it interesting, made clear examples, and made sure everyone was on the same page. BUT DONT BUY THE BOOK lol mine collcted dust the entire summer semester. waste of 80 bucks. and she was funny

If you are taking Psychology 1010 at Macomb, she is the professor to have. Everything is explained thoroughly in her PowerPoints and it is easy to take notes and follow along. There is a 5 question quiz every class about the material from the class before, but they are easy and the exams include all the questions from previous quizzes!

She's a great teacher, everything that is going to be on the tests and quizes are on the power points she explains everything very well! Awesome class, always interesting, never boring. Easy tests and quizes. Great notes. Highly recommend her.

Literally the best teacher I've ever had, everything she teaches is so clear and interesting! I recommend everyone to have her!!

She was a very nice, young teacher. Always fair in her grading, and we took quizzes on every chapter which helped me remmeber information for the test. We were using a specially made psych book from macomb, but I don't think they're using that one anymore. I didn't need my book once during the course because she put everything on powerpoint.

Sarah is an AMAZING professor. I LOVED her class it was so interesting. She even told us some of her own life experiences just so that we could understand in an easier way. She is very funny and I actually enjoyed waking up at 7 a.m. for her class. Be there on time and take notes for an easy A. I'm taking her again. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER!

She is an awesome pysch teacher! You have to show up to class as she has quizzes after each class to help remember it for the exam. If you have to take pysch take her!!

Awesome teacher. Very into her job and energetic. She gives a 5 question quiz at the end of each class so u have to be there everyday.

She's very nice, relatable, open and helpful. Lectures are enjoyable and go by quickly, with use of video and Power Point. Just make sure you do the journals or you'll fall behind!

good teacher i liked the class

I liked her she was the best teacher. She was extremely helpful.

She was awesome. Very helpful and as long as you are there to take the quizzes everyday the class is pretty easy and fun. It was one of my favorite classes I have ever takes. Also she related everything to real life, so it made it comprehensible.

Seriously one of the best teachers I've ever had. She knows what she is talking about and explains it well. She gives quizzes every class. Read the chapter before class. She doesn't care whether you come or not, but she's a professor not your mom. Her job isn't your attendance.

She's extremely helpful and her quizzes are pretty easy. Her tests might not be that easy. But if u pay attention to her lectures and notes, you'll do fairly well on her tests and quizzes. She also offers extra credits for attending seminars and writing a summary on them. I'd definitely recommend students to take her class :)

Go to class, and pay attention. re read your notes for the quiz. The study the quiz for test! Shes very nice and helpful.

Great professor, passionate, gives great notes, teaches you exactly what you are going to be tested on. I hate psyc with a passion but loved her class.

This was a tougher class for me (I am a 3.9 student). The work load itself wasn't bad, but the quality of the work really needed to be precise. She was kind and understanding thoughout the course. I would recommend her, but you'll need to dedicate a minimum of 15 hours to the class each week.

Great teacher! Easy A; she explains the material well and gives a lot of examples. She keeps the notes short and to the point, which makes the material easy to study. Plus she gives extra credit opportunities for attending a seminar on campus and just for showing up to class every day. I am so happy I took her class! Highly recommend

This is one of the easiest classes that I have taken at Macomb. As long as you are able to somewhat consistently show up, pay attention and take notes, then you should get a good grade. Her lectures aren't too painful and can be somewhat interesting. I have put very little time into studying and I have an A in this class. I would recommend her.

AWESOME TEACHER! She is very clear with what she says, and she will give clear examples so one will remember. She is super nice and easy to get along with. If you do not attend the class, do not expect to pass the test because the test are not easy. But if you do attend she makes it very easy for you to remember what she talked about

Awesome teacher. Makes the class so interesting! People rarely skipped this class because it was enjoyable to attend. She is very out-going and had the whole class laughing along with the stories that she tells. Gives good examples on the terms from the chapters and you get EC for attending a seminar and just showing up every day.

This was the best teacher I have ever had. She made the class so interesting, mainly because she is so interested in it. Anyone who is interested in psychology should definitely find a way to fit one of her classes into your schedule. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

She's awesome! Very helpful, and she really knows what she's talking about. She uses her real life examples from being a therapist which clears things up, a lot. You have to read and take notes to get a decent grade, but overall, it's not that hard. Highly recommend her.

Professor Van Wormer makes this class very fun and interesting. You'll actually like showing up, lectures are engaging and most of the lessons are on powerpoints. You never use the book in class, just show up take notes from the slides and take the weekly quizzes. The quizzes are easy and cover the general things about the chapter.

Prof. Van Wormer is enthusiastic about teaching. Her teaching style is enjoyable. The students are what made the class annoying, not her. Weekly quizzes. The tests are great because they use questions verbatim from the quizzes. And the final uses questions verbatim from the exams. So it's pretty easy to study for them. It helps to read the chapters

Amazing teacher! She teaches the way she wanted her teachers to teach her (tongue twister!) I believe she has ADD/ADHD something that makes her all jumpy and keeps the entire class up and interactive. She helps you when you need help and is overall the best teacher I've had for my fall semester! Oh and DON'T BUY THE BOOK SAVE YOUR MONEY!

If I could take this class again I would it was very interesting and if you pay attention and take notes there is no way you could fail she writes notes out and puts them on the board for students to copy, I also took her abnormal psyc class because she was such a good teacher just be sure to look over notes before quizzes and you'll pass

Attendance is a big thing for this class because there's a quiz every class period but its only 5 questions and the plus side you get 20 extra credit points toward your final grade for being there every class period . you have to have the book or you will fail but otherwise she's the best teacher I've had so far at Macomb. this class is easy

Sarah was AMAZING. She enjoys her job and it shows. I took this intro class a few years ago so I don't know if she still does this but we had a quiz at the beginning of every class on the material we learned last time but they were short and easy as long as you paid attention. Wonderful teacher.

I would definitely take her again. She is the best professor I have took in MCC. Professor Sarah if you are reading this your the best. "YOU ROCK". Plus shes one of the hottest teacher you'll ever have ;)

Shes the best professor in mcc.

It's Psychology, so the tests/quizzes are obviously challenging! There were a few glitches because Canvas is a relatively new concept. She gives study guides, but I feel like every little detail in the book is subject to being a test question! Professor Van Wormer is great, though. Ideally, you should take her in person!

SARA VAN WORMER AWESOME! She makes the course schedule very clear and easy to follow. Her grading criteria is very clear and submits grades within a few hours. A quiz for each chapter and a few tests. Lectures are very entertaining, has a good sense of humor, and gives extra credit. I strongly recommend her, and would definitely take her again :)

Wow, I never write ratings, but this professor is 100% worth it! I took Professor Wormers online class and it was very easy to keep up with! Study quiz, Group discussion, Quiz - THATS IT! Quizzes are timed but very achievable, also class is really interesting and not boring at all. Currently have a A in the class. Definitely would take her again!

Professor Van Wormer is a great professor! This was my second online class, and I don't think I would take Psyc online again, there is a lot of information and it's only 8 weeks, compared to 16 weeks on campus. The one thing I battled with were the times quizes, I always felt too rushed. Otherwise this was an interesting course!!

I loved taking Professor Van Wormer. Her abnormal psych class helped me learn a lot. Lots of notes, but quizzes and exams are easy if you pay attention

My first time taking a psychology class was with this professor, and I couldn't be happier choosing her. Although we had quizzes/tests often, she explained everything thoroughly while making the class laugh. She gives extra credit for attendance & going to the student success seminars. Definitely would recommend taking her.

She is a wonderful teacher. She makes class fun and makes sure everyone understands the material. Some people read the book to prepare for the tests, I was able to pass with flying colors without reading the textbook.

she really is a gem. she's so nice and friendly and her lectures are great.

If you have to take this class for your major you should 100% take Prof. Van Wormer. There is never a dull class, she's always full of energy and amazing stories/examples from previous classes or client when she was a therapist.

I'm a high school student taking college classes at the same time. I was nervous when we first started class but eventually I realized that the class is a breeze if you pay attention. Sarah is a great professor for Psychology, if you dont understand something she will break it down to you in simpler terms so that it is easier for your mind to grasp

She is THE best professor I've had so far. Her lectures are not boring whatsoever and she has the whole class engaged. I definitely recommend her for anyone taking psychology. She doesn't give homework, quizzes are easy. You don't really need your book since she goes over everything. make sure you show up if you want an easy A. Very easy class

Pretty easy class. Typical online class; Discussions, Study Quizzes, and timed quizzes. She gives you a lot of things to use to help with the quizzes. She is very reasonable. She does grade the DQ's a little hard though and she does make sure everyone logs in at least 5 times a week. VERY long final cumulative exam though, 100 questions in 3 hours.

Professor Van Wormer is one my favorite professors at MCC! she has amazing lectures and makes the class fun! She gives you quizzes and those answers are on the exam so you already know half of the answers! Theres a lot of reading but the book is an interesting read. This class is easy to pass and honestly I high recommend you take her.

Easy class to get an A as long as you do the study guide its almost identical to the test and we had one chapter where we had to listen to 3 different psychologist give therapy to the same woman and write about which one seemed to help her the most. This was my favorite part of the class and gives insight to those in that career path.

Shes hands the best professor. Her exams are so essay. She tells you half of the exam questions and answers. Highly recommend her.

Very good teacher! Took her online class and ended up loving it. It was only an 8 week class and It flew by.

best professor ever.. she is very respectful woman. she keep giving you examples from her life to help you remember for the exam. very easy class!! and this one for men "she is very good looking." I would like to take her class again.

Professor Sara Van Wormer is an amazing teacher. She explains everything very well. Her tests and quizzes are fair. She has real experience as a psychologist and tells many interesting stories from her past. I really enjoyed psychology because of her.

Shes great. She gives positive feedback and is respectful about it. I would definitely take her class again.

Professor Van Wormer was a very nice and respectful. I took her class online (my first online class ever) and the workload of the class was very light. Also, her class is very structured.

This was one of my favorite classes. I was always eager to learn in her class because the way she taught us, was not boring and it was very interesting. She made us understand it so well and everyone said that psyc is hard. well i believe that it is based on who is teaching you. we had lectures that were interesting everytime and easytopass quizzes

Amazing professor with tones of psychological experience always has real stories to back up her lectures. Always answers all your questions. You will need the book because she quizzes throw the textbook, on the exam you have questions from the quizzes, as far as homework we had only 2 papers to write. If u are a psych major 100% gotta take her!!

she is great and will make you understand pshchology from the core. but too many test, quizes, exams and i dont see anyway you can make a b+ if you dont leave your job. there is quiz on every chapter and you will start to loose points every day. then you got exam for every 3 chapter & at the end of the semester there is a final exam. you are dead.

Very good teacher, has really interesting lectures. Makes psychology easy. Come to every class on time and get 20 extra credit pts. 10 question quizzes every 2 chapters, exams are repeats of quiz questions. Don't get the book even though she says you need it, never opened it once. Take the notes she says and look through them for an easy A.

I loved her class, says what she expects first day . DO NOT BE LATE FOR EXAM DAYS. She will not let you take it even if you are a minute after 15 minutes late.

So I only rate on this site when the prof is terrible or amazing(no in between). this prof is absolutely amazing! with the pandemic, converting to online from on campus she made it so easy. her lectures weren't boring, and she was great at teaching even though it wasn't in person. very easy going, and great personality. i highly recommend!!!

I'm taking this prof for a remote class on the psych disorders. I wasn't sure how her online lectures would be bc of covid, but I actually look forward to logging in for her class. She has super interesting stories and I'm learning a lot about the psych field in general.

I really liked this prof and class. I was depressed about online classes but this class ended up being a perfect one to take during covid because its about coping with life. Lectures were on Zoom w/o cameras and we talked in class thru chat. She was energetic and interesting and the assignments were doable. I felt like she cared how I was doing.

This professor made the class really interesting. I even liked doing the assignment which are about making real world examples connect to chapter concepts. She spent a lot of time giving feedback that was helpful. I already miss her class and hope I can take her again.

I just completed my master's in clinical psych and am so glad I had this professor for abnormal. I learned more from her than I learned in half of my graduate classes. She is one of the best professors I've ever had. If you are serious about a career in psychology you need to take her.

This is a tough class. If you don't read the book you won't pass. I took it completely online over the summer and definitely would suggest taking the longer class to maybe space your homework out a little better. All work was clear and as long as you read the chapters and to the work you will do good. Tests are hard!

I liked Prof. Wormer. The work is manageable and most of her homework questions were pretty interesting. She gives very specific feedback after discussion posts. She is very strict on due date deadlines, but you get used to it.

Great Professor, she worked as a psychologist for many years so she has lots of experiences to share and it makes lecture super interesting. Show up to class and listen, read the book and you'll get an A.

I took this class after my sister recommended it. She had her in person before Covid but I had her Zoom. She has so much passion for psychology which makes you want to learn. I hope I can take her again.

Great professor, very knowledgeable, very responsive to any issues or questions we have. Quizzes every week and one final exam at the end. You must participate at least 4 days a week or you will get marked down. Like any class, this one involved a lot of homework and reading. I took this class online, there were no lectures, just reading your book.

I really liked this prof and her class. She had some interesting discussion questions and gave personal feedback on each of them. I looked forward to seeing what she wrote bc it encouraged me in the course but also just life in general.

I just finished this class and even though it was a lot of work I really enjoyed it. Her discussion questions were interesting and I couldn't wait to see her feedback on them. She's very caring compared to other profs I've taken online classes with.

This was a decent professor for an online class. Beware though, she's very strict about due dates and there's no make up work.

I liked this class. Some of her forum questions were really interesting. She gives a lot of feedback on the discussion assignments.

Great professor if you're considering taking PSYC 1010. Class is fairly simple to manage. We have 10 chapters to cover in 8 weeks so we spend 5 days on each. 1 discussion post, 1 peer reply, 1 adaptive assignment (the more right answers the less questions you have to complete), and 1 quiz. Discussion questions are interesting & engaging.

Make sure you don't overlap this class with another, or you'll be in trouble. It's not too bad as long as you do your work and turn it in on time. They never open their modules ahead of time and doesn't give extra credit. Take this class with caution. She does leave helpful comments that explain the reason for the loss of points.

she's a decent professor. took forever to grade my assignments. harsh on discussion ques. her EC was joining a meeting and writing 3 pages of essay which I didn't do. 2/3 assignments per week. not bad at all.

The professor is fairly strict on deadlines, but engaging discussions and helpful feedback make up for it. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for test prep. Overall, a manageable class if you stay on top of the work.

Let this class be beneficial to you while you're in the process of taking this class to get closer towards your career. Carefully read the syllabus, put effort into your discussion posts, dig deep. While taking notes from the book I would write down the chapter and page number on each column for reference. She gives great feedback!

Professor Wormer's class was not hard at all. Every assignment was straightforward, and she provided really good feedback whenever she took off points. As long as you read the chapters each week, you will be fine.
