Her lectures are rather dry, but over all it's easy. I didn't study much at all, and got a B.
Only went to the exams-my total grade was over 100%. She puts all of her lecture guides online. I just bought the book and used it to fill in all of the notes myself. I tried going to her lectures but she just confused me
Uses easy-to-follow Powerpoints to teach. Tends to drag on a lot but it gives you times to copy down the slides. She uses study guides where you fill in the blank, they are very helpful. She also has study guides for the exams that have all the questions you need to know for the exam. If you pay attention and study, you should do well.
Amazing professor. All of her classes have a ton of material (like all psychology classes), but you have to go to class to fill in your notes, and then you'll do great. Easy to understand, and she's very sweet.
OMG I love her! She is so easy and makes the lectures very easy to understand. She puts the lectures online and also posts tons of study materials. You barely have to understand psych to get an A in this class. She's really nice unless the room get's too loud...
Very good professor. Puts lecture guides online with blank spaces so you have to go to class to fill in the blanks. Puts everything into terms that is simple to understand. As long as you fill in the lecture guides and study, you will do great in this class.
she was pretty interesting and her guests are interesting as well.. and i met my girl friend in her class cha ching!
She's very dry, but has her interesting moments- like drawing swimming trunks on a proportion scale of boys- but you can still see it. Exams are note based, although she'll throw in a couple book questions for those who read. Doesn't like people leaving/not attending, so bonuses to those who stay.
child psychology. she's a nice lady, but extremely boring ! her notes are helpful, and she puts pre-tests online. if you can sit thru her class without falling asleep, then you'll for sure pass.
If you go to class and take good notes and make sure you understand the examples, you'll do well. The tests are mostly application-based questions, so you have to understand the concepts. She was very willing to help students understand the material. I would go and discuss everything with her a week before the test to make sure I understood. 9/10
Dr. S is a great psych teacher! she is passionate about her job and wants everyone to succeed. She is very willing to help outside of class. 5 exams and some research participation is all you have to do. her exams are straight from the notes. She is a nice lady but gets mad when people talk. I strongly advise you take her class!
She is definately willing to help you outside of class to understand things better. I got the same grade on basically all of my exams, so there is consistency in her exams. She is nice and easy to talk to.

The word is NOT "quote" it is "quotation." Maddeningly annoying. Her lectures drone on and on. Ridiculous exams for an LER class. Extremely lax on make-up exams (No official excuse needed). Her command of the English language and notation skills are greatly lacking. Never again.
Didn't use the textbook once, very clear fill in blank notes, got grades up on vista quickly, lots of extra credit oppurtunity, likes to use full class time but will never hold you a minute over. She really was great!!!
You do have to study, but her tests aren't tricky at all and they are always multiple choice. By far an easy A. The teacher basically wants everyone to do well. She hands out tons of extra credict and oppertunities to boost your grade. She makes note taking extremely easy.
Incredibly dull and her lectures drone on forever as others have mentioned. She loves study guides and handouts and is a notorious tree killer. You should do fine if you collect all the piles of crap she gives. I rarely attend due to it being the most boring class ever but currently have an A. I wouldn't reccomend unless you love boredom.
I took Psychology of Adjustment. Personally, I think she is super dull and bland. I hate how slow the lectures go. She's not too hard, but she's not super easy either. She gives way too many handouts that are pretty much useless. Gives out dumb "lecture guides". Take another teacher please, unless you want to sit there bored all of class.
Dr.S is my favorite professor. She loves teaching psychology. Classes are very interesting, and she likes interaction. Don't talk or text in class though. She starts class and ends class right on time. I suggest her for any Psychology class! =)
Really good teacher, actually wants students to well and really makes herself available for help. She clearly loves teaching and psychology. I would definitely take her
didnt even touch my book. she tests only from the lecture notes and the study guide that she gives you to fill out during the lectures. boring subject but easy A. i suggest using flashcards to study with info from the study guide and the lecture notes.
She genuinely cares about all of her students, and is extremely willing to help us out with advice or additional information. She gives out too many handouts which makes me feel bad for all the waste. But she is kind and helpful and clear, and she seems to always design her lectures so that they are useful for life, not only for passing her tests.
Buy a 1.5 inch or 2 inch binder if you take psychology, because she will give out lots of lecture material. She's very nice and will help you as much as possible, so don't worry about difficulty. Follow the lecture guides when studying for the exams and attend the lectures regularly and you'll have no problem!
She is very kind and helpful, albeit inexperienced with operating the clickers and her powerpoints. Offers lots of opportunities for extra credit and rewards those who attend her classes. Homework is thorough but infrequent, and exams are not too difficult. Very useful and knowledgeable.
Very easy class. Just show up with the lecture guides and study the study guides she gives u and u will ave the class
I forgot to do the homework almost half the time and still ended up with an A. She's a bit passive and definitely tough to complain about.
Lectures go on forever and are often off topic. Skips important chapters. Notes are from two different books. I'll give her some slack since she just switched texts but come on...I would shop around.
Take her. She is very helpful. She sends you a lot of emails to keep you on track. She makes the information easy for you to understand. She can talk for hours but she is great.
As far as point go this class is simple. Although i couldnt buy a C on a test. TAKE NOTES IN CLASS. The book is almost worthless if you take notes, but you do need the Connect code to do homework, WORTH BUYING BOOK IN THE STORE
I liked her class and her teaching style. She was very helpful and always gave feedback for her exams. She was very available for questions. Her exams are not difficult, but they require proper preparation.Very fun class, I would recommend it.
Great psych teacher, very patient, easy tests and so forth, didn't do any of the homework and came out with a B. However if you're headache prone I swear this professor has the most annoying voice in the world and it seems like she's always yelling into her microphone.
solid professor. enjoyable, nice, helpful, fair tests, and solid lectures. overall above average. would definitely recommend for gen psych. btw she has switched texts to psychsmart and imho it was extremely easy to follow and contained tons of information directly from the tests, 5/5 on text book choice.
Dr. S. is awesome. I took the class reluctantly, but I ended up being really glad I did. I learned so much. Her enthusiasm and understanding of the subject make the class fun. I'd feel better about the money I'm spending if all profs at KSU were even half as good as Dr. S. I'd take her class again in a heartbeat.
Took Psych of Adjustment with her. Class was easy, fun, and interesting. I definitely recommend her. She knows what she's talking about.
Honestly, I've taken a few of her classes. The first class I had with her was kind of difficult, but after learning her style for exams it was rather easy. Although when I went to office hours she was rather rude when I told her I was having issues preparing for my exam due to missing a couple classes. Good classes...didn't like her attitude :(
Attendance is not mandatory but need to go to pass. Requires research participation. Easy tests if you know your material. Non-stop talker, a lot of notes. Very helpful and clear.
Tests are hard and require a lot of studying and I am an A student. She is as boring as it gets. Everybody says Joynes is easier
Her class is fair. You have to show up to class in order to get the notes. her study guides match the tests. If you know the whole study guide you will get an A! the tests get easier as the course goes on.She is very helpful in office hours. Attendance is not mandatory but you need to go to get an A. I texted the whole class and got an A
Loved the class. Uses lecture guides and study guides. Fairly easy tests.
Sciartelli is really nice and helpful. She talks alot but always tries to make everything crystal clear. Her tests are easy if you pay attention and go to class. She can become boring sometimes but she's really passionate about Psychology.
She was a good teacher. She had the disadvantage of having huge classes, but she made the most of them. I thought her tests were really easy, probably because she's such a good lecturer.
She is a great and nice professor.She made sense about everything .Lecture notes and study guides were verrrry useful and it is easy to get an A if you go over the PPTs and study guides...
She is very helpful. Her class can get kind of boring but the tests are not difficult. If you can answer every question on her study guide then you should be good to go.
Dr. S is one of the best professors at Kent State. Loved her class-her passion for teaching is awesome-tests were very fair and her classes were interesting. I always looked forward to going to class-very nice lady, so friendly too.
Abnormal psych was a very interesting class. Dr. Sciartelli makes the class interesting and fun. There are study guides for every test. If you know them you will do fine on the test. Extra credit is offered as well. Take with her!!!!!!!!!
She is not a bad teacher but she speeds through the lecture. If you dont pay attention you will completely lose all information. When she notices many did not attend class, she gives the class study guides while the ones who didnt go do not recieve it.
I had her for abnormal psych and I would definitely recommend her. There is a study guide for every test and extra credit. As long as you go to class you don't even have to study that much. Going to her office hours is VERY helpful; if you take the time and effort she will help you get a good grade. She is passionate about psych and very helpful!
She is a good teacher. My class had about 350 students and she maintained good control. Go to class and PAY ATTENTION if you want to know what's going on. Her exams are from lecture and the book. Expect to study for exams and the questions on the exams are mostly situational (e.g. Molly does ___. What kind of disorder does Molly have?)
Wonderful professor. Can't say enough great things about her. Extra credit opportunities, let's you take a test at the end of the year if you missed it, all around great person. Had her for gen psych, wish I could have her again next semester. Do anything you can to get her, she's one of the best professors I've had
Goes out of her way to try to trick you on exams. Dry boring lectures. Gives the most ridiculous and pathetic excuse of extra credit. AVOID at all costs or be prepared to be book a book worm and hate your life
I had her for Gen Psych. While her lectures could get very dry and boring and I had like no interest in the subject, I think it was an easy class. As long as you show up and put in some effort it really isn't difficult at all.
Had her for General Psyc, and it was one of the easiest classes I've ever had. As long as you come to class and take all the notes you're good because test questions are based mostly on lecture. Dr. Sciartelli is interested in her subject and I think she teaches it well and makes it easy. As long as you try and care about your grade you'll be good.
Dr. S. takes a lecture hall of 100+ students and transforms it into an intimate forum. The precision of her syllabus allows everyone, if they so choose, to be on the same page at all times. She's down to earth in her approach and she addresses the data in a way that lay psychologists can easily grasp. Take this course!
Dr scartelli is an excellent teacher. She really cares about student learning and is very fun in class. She keeps your attention throughout the class and show interesting videos relating to psych. Everyone take all of the classes she offers. She gives study guides so if you truly know it like the back of your hand and you'll get an A
I felt like her exams had two right answers so I felt like I was being tricked no matter how hard I studied. She seemed nice but when I had to miss classes because of surgery she wouldn't send me the PowerPoint slides from the lecture. I had to hunt down someone who had the same class. But overall if you study and go to class it was pretty easy
She knows her stuff! She gives the best study guides. If you follow the study guides, you'll be fine!
Really passionate instructor, really knows her stuff. She is always willing to help and really helped me get the A I wanted in her class. Her study guides really rock!
I love her psych class! She is a great professor. Very helpful!
Sciartelli is a really good professor. She is very organized and there are no tricks on the exam. If you fill out the study guide and study it, you'll do fine. Don't skip class because not all of the test questions are from the book.
One of my favorite professors this semester. Explains everything clearly in lecture, and if you go to class, take notes, and do the study guide you'll be fine for the exams. If I didn't read the book, I skimmed it at least, but exam questions come from the lectures. She is also very kind and willing to help you.
Great person and professor! Very clear and helpful. She wants her students to do good. I took Gen. Psych with her and it was pretty easy if you just attend class, do the homework assignments on time, and study for the 5 exams throughout the semester. She knows the material very well and she's funny at times lol
She is a really easy teacher to understand. If you follow her study guide and make it a habit to attend class, then getting an A will be a snap. Almost everything on the Exams are in your notes.
Very easy course and she is well organized with power points. She allows enough time for people to write notes down and anything on the powerpoint is exactly what she will put on exams. Posts study guides online. She is very nice and exams are easy.
My favorite professor this semester! If you go to class, take notes, and use the study guide to study for exams you're good to go! TONS of extra credit opportunity. I needed an 18% on my final to get an A in the class w/ all the extra credit! I missed a few lectures, but I went to office hours and she let me take notes on the slides! She's great!
Interesting class and a great teacher. Went to every class but tests are not hard if you study some. There are practice quizzes with exact questions on the test and study guides that tell you everything you need to know for the test. A lot of extra credit and if you see her in office hours you can get a couple of points back on the tests.
Lectures are usually dry. As long as you do the homework and some extra credit you will probably pass.
Great professor! You can tell she really knows and loves what she's talking about. As long as you do your homework and pay attention you will easily pass this class.
Not my favorite professor ever, but I did think the class was decent. Notes are at times all over the place. Book is used, but only for the self study. Exams are a little confusing at times, but do the study guide you should be fine. Dr. Sciartelli is extremely nice and helpful. Wouldn't recommend for Abnormal, but isn't the worst ever.
Her lectures are dry, and she really doesn't give very decent relatable examples. However, I didn't think the class was very hard, and I didn't go very often. If you don't care for her, read the book or look online for stuff. She doesn't post the notes online and sometimes there are a few questions on the test from in-class examples.
Dr. Sciartelli is very clear in her lectures and tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. There are no surprises and the information is not hard to understand. She is also super nice and is easy to talk to. My favorite professor this semester!!
Hard tests, big lecture classes, nice but shrill, and I didnt pass with a respectable grade and I only missed 2 classes
Dr. S clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience in her field .She covers a TON of material in the lectures and does not make them available online, so if you miss class hopefully you have a friend that can provide you with good notes or go to her office hours. Attendance is necessary to pass this class but does not factor in to grades.
Dr. S is very passionate about Psychology. She knows a lot about what she is teaching. You must go to all the lectures and take good notes because there are little details on the tests from the lectures. Also the study guides are very useful when studying for the tests. Tests can be hard if you don't study enough or have good information.
GO TO CLASS! She doesn't post notes on Blackboard so all of the notes are provided in class. A good portion of the exam questions are based off of the study guide which is provided through Blackboard and filled in through in class powerpoints. She never expects you to have the book but, it is useful for the homework.
She is really nice but test usually have a lot of materials. If you have a good memory and use the outlines she usually gives you'll be fine.
Doesnt post slides online, need textbook for self studies.
Dr. Sciartelli is an amazing professor. She loves her job and would do anything to help out her students. Some lectures can drag by, but for the most part the material is very interesting. If you attend all classes, pay attention, and study for exams you will do great! Take her class you won't regret it. I know I would love to have her again!
I think she's a fantastic teacher. She can get on a bit of a roll sometimes to the point where it's hard to ask questions, but has tons of knowledge and is obviously passionate for her subject. Very accessible and helpful during office hours. Not the easiest class in the world, but that's more on the subject matter. Very detailed study guides.
The lectures are long and boring.
Dr. Sciartelli is incredibly smart, genuine and helpful (if you ask!) She makes her grading criteria crystal clear, and even though her class is in a large lecture hall, you can tell she cares about students individually, even going as far as emailing each and every one to check up on grades. She makes lectures interesting.
She is very helpful and provides a copious amount of study materials.
Great teacher just have to go to class!!! Gives lots of extra credit points.
Sciartelli is AMAZING! She is willing to do anything to help you! She has pre printed notes online that you can print out and bring to class and if you go to class you will pass. She gives great examples that make you understand everything and she is very good with emailing back and explaining anything you need. Definitely take her classes!
Lots of opportunity for extra credit which is nice. Lectures are long, but really clear and helpful. She understands the different learning styles and gives a lot of study materials to prep for tests. Exams aren't too bad if you know the material pretty well. Really nice professor that cares about student success.
Just show up and take notes. Have a buddy you sit by take them in case you miss class. Print out the lecture guides posted online. She does want you to succeed. Its possible to get over 100% on exams if you study. It's hard to get research credits if you are under 18. Only use the book for the few homework assignments online. Would take again.
READ AND ABIDE THE SYLLABUS. Sciartelli makes it the easiest class with simple exams, participate in studies or write papers on them, and online homework you can google the quizlet answers to. Thats all the grading material and she gives an abundance of extra credit so you can get an A with Cs on exams. However, she is VERY annoying in class.
One of the best professors I've ever had. She has a passion for teaching psych and it shows. She is available to help you when you need her, and if you go to every class, you will get an A. Every class is worth about 15 exam points, so going is important. I loved this class, and recommend Sciartelli to anyone.
Professor Sciartelli made this class very manageable. There's detailed study guides and practice worksheets for every exam and she is very clear in what is expected. I would recommend going to class because her exams are based off of the lecture, not the book.
Dr. Sciartelli is the best! She's a good lecturer (if lecture is ever boring, it's because of the subject, not her), gives great examples that break down complex material, and is very clear about class expectations/grading. It shows that she wants students to succeed. I heard she's teaching social psych soon and would love to take it with her!
Her lectures dragged. She does not post the notes on blackboard, but she does post outlines of them and you fill them in during class. You don't have to pay attention in class as long as you get the notes. You will need the textbook for the online homework assignments. Tests are easy if you study and use the study guide.
Loved her and her class! Her expectations were very clear and she was always there to help you out. Exams are easy if you study and make sure you do the research studies. If you do everything you are supposed to do as well as all the extra credit you will have no problem getting an A in her class. I would definitely take her class again!
Sciartelli is a professional at the information and makes everything very clear. Five exams were easy as long as you pay attention. Few homeworks are assigned which can be looked up online. Research points are easy, get them out of the way early. Offers lots of extra credit! Overall easy class, pay attention, do your work and you'll pass.
Dr. S made the lectures very interesting. She put outlines on Blackboard to print out and bring to class and they made following along in lecture very easy. She gives study guides and practice questions before each exam which are almost identical to the exam itself. I skipped maybe 3 classes and only studied one night before each exam and got an A
Mrs. Sciartelli is a very wonderful professor. You can tell she is very passionate about psychology and enjoys teaching. Don't forget to do the SONA project and homework assignments- they can make or break your grade. Also, use her study materials on blackboard before the tests- they will save your life!
Dr. Sciartelli is very devoted to her teaching and students, but she doesn't tolerate any funny business. She is passionate about what she teaches, and provides clear study guides that match the exams. Notes are not posted online, so you will need to attend class.
I liked having Sciartelli as a professor. I like the way she sets up her classes! She just goes over powerpoints in class and you copy them down. You have to really study if you want an A on the exam, they're tricky. I got the required textbook online because you only use it for the online homework. She also gives 10 its extra credit too. Not bad.
Only take her class if you have oodles of time. Requires a lot.
Very knowledgable. Offers extra credit, amazing lectures, helpful and caring towards students. If you work on study guides you can score As easily.
I wish I would have her in a smaller group setting, because she is very knowledge and I'd love to be able to ask her more questions. Her class is straight forward and she gives extra credit. She is interesting to listen to and very helpful to her students.
I Loved This teacher, she explained concepts in a way that is relatable. I never was afraid to go talk to her, incredibly approachable, and super nice! Loved this professor and respect her a lot
I took her for Social psych. I had to miss a month of school and she helped me a lot to catch up and earn my grade. She is very understanding. Her tests are a little harder though, but if you are struggling just talk to her.
Sharon is my GIRL. She speaks in a way that is so easy to comprehend and she really helps you understand the material with visual examples and scenarios. Definitely would recommend. She is also very sweet. You do need to study for the exams and quizzes just like any other class, but she gives you study guides that are basically the test.
Her lectures are very interesting, print out the lecture outline before class it's very useful! She gives you all the tools you need to succeed! Just make sure to utilize them! Always willing to help and assist students and you can tell she loves her job, which makes going to her class much easier.
I LOVED this teacher! Her lectures gave everything that was on the test. if you didn't go over it in class it wasn't on the test. She gives practice tests and study guides for all of her tests and has review sessions. If you study and do all the practice material it is an easy A! She usually keeps it interesting too!
she makes it easy for you to get whatever grade you want and is an amazing professor that loves what she . only need textbook for the online homeworks
Has a lot of extra study material and does group sessions two days before exams
Amazing ! She really cares and wants you to succeed!
Very passionate but does not tolerate talking or noise in class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will miss a lot of notes and she doesn't put them online.
She gives 5 tests along the class, which are not hard as long as you show up to class. She also holds review sessions 2 days before the test, which is very helpful, and she has an assistant that holds study groups every week, but I have never been to one. There are quizzes before every test, ALL the questions are on quizzlet, so its pretty chill
Never went to class and passed with an A+. The homework can be found on quizlet and super easy. She posts study guides and worksheets for the exams which are extremely helpful. Extra credit opportunities available. Overall very easy class to pass and would take it again.
Always available. She's a great teacher and explains thoroughly. Uses a lot of examples. Easy class and relatively simple.
I liked taking the gen psych class with professor Sciartelli! She was very professional and helpful, she made the material way much easier
She was a very good professor and you could tell she cared and was knowledgable in her field. She worked very hard to give us all the resources we needed.
She is a good professor, cares about the material and makes it interesting. Very accessible for questions and help.
She's awesome. Super passionate and knows what she's doing. It is a lot of material covered and a lot of studying is necessary. You don't need the textbook but I would recommend getting it because 10 points on each exam are from the book and not covered in class. She doesn't post slides so you or someone who takes good notes needs to go to class!
Sharon is one of the better professors I have had. She really lays everything out for you. You do have to read and there is a lot of note taking but she will specify what you need to study and will help guide you through the material. Social Psych course consists of 2 short opinion papers, four exams and one final.
I personally think Dr. Sciartelli is the Holy Grail of Professors. There's homework but not an overload, you can chose whether you want to come to class b/c the slides are still available. The study guide isn't just a recap of the lecture slides but detail things you should know for the exam. & she provides you with a practice exam! Great Professor
I have had Dr. Sciartelli for two classes and she is awesome. If you study for her tests you'll do fine, and she gives out a study guide before each test with the exact questions that will be on it. She's entertaining and very approachable! But don't waste your money buying the textbook for social or gen. psych, I never used either of them.
You learn more from the text book than you do from her
You learn more from the text book than you do from her. Emails are not very respectful
She claims that information on exams come from both the book and her lectures, it's really all from the book. Homeworks are easy, she offers lots of help such as group studies before test, I recommended going to them if you want a good grade on the exams.
Sciartelli is fine, her class is easy and if you actually put effort into Gen Psych you won't have any issues.
Probably my favorite professor, she's very thorough in her lectures and very clear about what's on the exams. She provides study materials a week before every exam, has lecture outlines for every class, and gives due date reminders daily. She makes sure we know how to access mental health resources and help (especially during disorders unit)
Super sweet lady. One of the few professors at Kent State University who truly care. She is very straight forward, and gives many practice exam items. Very helpful with any concerns you might have.
for general psychology she babies the class. she reads off the powerpoint. all exams are based on the lectures and examples. the $70 textbook was worthless aside from the fact that the homework is through the online textbook. THE FINAL IS ACCUMULATIVE!!!!!
I had her for general psychology and if you come to class and sit in on the lectures you will receive a good grade. Even though attendance ins't mandatory it helps a lot to come to every class. There are overall five exams and one final over everything. The exams are pretty in depth , but she really knows her stuff and is a good prof.
Drops lowest test score for gen psych which is really nice. Use the study guides and worksheets she posts online, test questions are usually very similar!! You have to study to get a decent grade.
She was definitely knowledgeable about psychology and she cares for her students you can tell. You need to do the readings and attend class or else the exams are impossible. As long as you study the study guides you're fine but try guessing on the exams and its a definite fail.
I took Dr. Sciartelli for Gen Psych and Abnormal Psych and she is great! Very knowledgeable and clearly knows what she is talking about. Her exams are based off the lectures so if you don't come to class, you probably won't pass. She cares about her students and I would definitely take her again!
Dr. Sciartelli has a lot of experience teaching and you will be fine in her class as long as you're willing to put in some work.
Professor Sciartelli is a great professor. The only drawback is that she doesn't post her slides on Blackboard so you either have to attend the lectures or go to her office hours. But the lectures are interesting and she shows a lot of good video clips.
Her lectures were interesting but so much information was given that it was, at times, overwhelming. If you miss class, you better get notes from someone else. Her tests were fairly difficult and long. Test after every unit.
very nice teacher
Great class. Lecture heavy, but all tests are multiple choice so as long as you take notes and do a bit of studying, it's a pretty easy class to get a good grade in. Lots of opportunity to make up for mistakes as well. Offers extra credit along with dropping worst test grade. Overall this professor is great and I would definitely take class again.
Extremely difficult exams. All classes are lectures, and Prof. isn't bad, just covers a lot of material for each exam. Nice lady one-on-one. Class becomes boring quickly if lectures aren't your thing. If you miss class, make sure you get notes from someone or you will have issues on exam.
Great professor and class. Extremely knowledgeable, exams are predictable provided you do the practice items and look at the study guides. The provided note outlines make taking notes really easy. Very lecture heavy, but they're interesting. Only issue is that sometimes there's so much info it can feel overwhelming during class.
Sciartelli was an amazing professor! Lectures aren't mandatory, but I went to every class and paid attention and got an A. She gives extra credit and she drops your lowest test score and homework grade. She genuinely wants you to do well in her class and provides study guides/practice materials. Overall, I would recommend her as a psych teacher!
Sharon is a wonderful person in general, she is very caring and wants the very best for her students. She's a quality professor that I wish I could learn from every semester. Lowest test score is dropped, and you have the opportunity for 21 bonus points which is quite substantial- oh and attendance isn't mandatory!!!!
Drops your lowest test and homework grades. Very nice person, knows her stuff. Gives good lectures, doesnt post slides. If you print her lecture outline and attend class + homework youll do great. Gives study guides and helpful worksheets for each test, wish I had a class with her next semester!
Some people don't like her for stupid reasons. Here's what you need to know: she is on your side, she wants you to do good. She gives lots of opportunity to make up exams and for extra credit. And, she gives lecture outlines, practice worksheets for exams, PLUS a very detailed study guide.
I had prof. Sciartelli for two classes this semester and she is great in both! Exams are mostly from the lectures, but she gives study guides and anything on the study guide will probably be on the exam. No surprises. She is extremely smart and has a lot of great things to say. I really enjoyed her and hope to have her for more classes in the futur
I had her for general psychology and she is an amazing professor. Her lectures were very interesting and you could tell how passionate she is. There is not a lot of homework and attendance wasn't for a grade so this class is very test heavy. She doesn't post her slide shows on blackboard so taking notes is important.
I like how she gives us many study tools a week before the exam. The study tools are really helpful and make the transition from high school to college easier on freshmen.
She literally knows the science of learning and how to teach you effectively, you really can't get better than her.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN. Probably the best teacher I have ever had. Begins semester by teaching you how to learn better- in terms of psychology- really helped! Lectures were very organized and interesting, genuinely wants students to do well. Extra credit opportunities if you need them, she encourages kids to come to her office hours:) great lady!
Gen Psych is completely lectures, but Dr. Sciartelli does an amazing job at clearly explaining the topics and makes study guides for each exam. I just show up to class, take notes, fill out the study guide and I get high As on every exam. Attendance isnt mandatory, but you miss out on important information. Overall easy and interesting class.
Great professor, does the best she can with large classes.
attendance is mandatory bc she doesnt post slides. very content heavy but explains in depth and makes sure class has a good understanding. must study to pass. encourages questions and office hours. will work with you 1:1 to improve grades. very lenient on makeup exams and late work. can earn 14 points in sona credit. very sweet and knowledgeable!
Even though lectures arent mandatory, the way that Sharon explains material makes it so much easier to understand. Overall she cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. There is not much work outside of class other than homework and it is easy to earn a lot of extra credit if needed.
She offers a lot of good resources to help you pass the class and is just a good-hearted person. Her lectures and well done and easy to follow. The textbook is online. Extra credit is huge for this class it's easy points and they can help your grade a lot. The tests are easy if you put even just a little bit of time to study.
Sciartelli is one of the best professors that I've had here. Drops lowest exam and homework scores, gives you several different opportunities for extra credit, and posts worksheets, application questions, and very detailed study guides for each and every exam. Lectures are EXTREMELY interesting and make everything so much easier to understand.
Dr S is the BEST. She is the most caring and genuine professor/teacher I've ever had. She cares about the students and their grades. Show up to lectures, take good notes (that are spoon fed to you) and get all the hw's and SONA's done & it's the easiest A+ you'll ever receive. 10/10 recommend Dr S. Going to miss her.
Dr. Sciartelli really roots for you to be your best. Go to her office hours if you need help with anything! She is a super fantastic professor, can't recommend her enough!
I love Dr. S. Really great prof and resource to talk to about career stuff. She does not post slides so you need to go to class. Content is not hard but you have to really study for exams (don't cram the night before and expect to do well), lots of memorization. She makes lecture interesting and you can tell she cares about students.
I liked Sciartelli, her exams are not easy but are 100% doable if you follow her study guides and prep worksheets. She is accessible by office hours if you have questions about your grade.
really sweet soul. Loved how passionate she is abt teaching. def recommend!!
DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE CLASS. I have taken her about 4 times now. The last 2 classes I have had with her were horrible. She does wayyy too much and her tests are ridiculously hard and seem to not align with her notes. I really wish I bit the bullet and took a different professor for this class, VERY STRESSFUL CLASS.
Dr. Sciartelli is a great professor. I took her General Psychology class online, and really enjoyed it. There was no textbook for the class, but her classes were all lectures. There are tests every unit, but she gives review guides that have what you need to know on the test. Very nice professor, very pure and caring, would take her class again.
Dr. S is an amazing professor, she really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I took her online and her lectures were pretty straightforward, open note exams, drops lowest exam score, offers extra credit. If you watch the lectures and fill in the study guides the class will be an easy A.
Dr S was a really great prof! The exams were easy and a review guide was given for each exam and theres extra credit. You could tell she really cared about her students and wanted us to succeed. It was a fun class too! The exams were also open note. I highly recommend!!
AMAZING! You can def. tell she just wants her students to succeed and offers many paths to success for everyone. If you reach out to her in need of some extra help, she is extremely considerate and kind. SO many extra credit opportunities, lowest exam score drops, clear and accurate to exam material lectures and time efficient! 10/10 recommend!
She was such a sweet professor! She made the class and the material fun and easy to learn. Her quizzes were all based on the book and her exams were pretty straight to the point if you had all the notes down. Would love to have her again!
I love Dr. S! I have had her for General Psych, Abnormal Psych and Social Psych. I am taking Social psych now. She is a great professor. Lots of extra credit up to 21 points! She does assign homework through the online book but not hard at all. Also you have three independent reading chapters worth 30pts and one paper worth 30pts. She drops an exam
Dr. Schiartelli is very clear on what she expects. There are five exams, one of which the grade gets dropped. The exams are sort of hard, and I found her lectures sort of boring. There are lots of grades to make up for a bad exam and there's a big extra credit opportunity
She is very helpful and if you need more help out of class she will gladly give it. It is very helpful to come to class to get instruction and review for exams. She gives a bunch of extra credit options if you need it. Overall a great professor and I would recommend this class if you enjoy the subject. Also not a lot of homework and pretty lay back
She drops your lowest exam grade. She responded to emails very quickly. Committed to helping her students learn. But be sure to take advantage of the study material. Some lectures could drag on. Overall, if you study for exams and show up to class you shouldn't have a problem.
Sweetest Lady around. If you do extra credit you will get a good grade! She really cares
Overall just wants her students to succeed and she will do as much as she can to make that happen.
My favorite professor so far at Kent! She did a great job providing outlines that were very well detailed and study guides to prepare for the exams. There was also extra credit available. Overall, she really showed that she cared about the success and learning of her students.
lectures are very laid out and understandable, give you plenty of study guides for exams, super caring. No complaints
It helps that psychology comes easy to me, but her class was so much fun. She is such a genuine professor and wants to see you succeed. If I could chose her to teach all of my classes, I would
My favorite professor as a psych major. She inspired me to continue in my major. Her lectures are chalk-full of information, and the readings are often helpful. She provides study guides, practice quizzes, and the occasional handwritten single page of notes during exams. She is passionate and well-versed in every class I have taken by her.
Absolutely amazing professor. Really nice and would take her class again!
I missed a week of class due to the death of a loved one. She insisted that I see her, and she was very rude and seemed to only want to argue with me and confronted me about something completely irrelevant. She didn't help me catch up. Long and boring lectures. She makes snarky remarks at her students. Don't know why there are so many good reviews.
Very nice professor. I found the lectures a little boring since she just reads off the slides. Tests were a little harder than they needed to be, but nothing crazy difficult. You'll do good if you stay on top of the homework. Do need textbook, homework is online through the book.
She was overall a great professor, she mainly just read off of the slides for the lectures. The exams are mainly all about memorizing the definitions of different terms.
By far my favorite professor and class. She's understanding, caring and wants you to do good, she offers a good amount of extra credit. Although homework is heavy, its easy and you can use the book. An easy class!!!!!
Professor S, is easily one of my favorite professors. She is so caring with her students, and she genuinely wants you to succeed. She gives worksheets and study guides with every exam. She makes the material interesting and informational all in one. I would recommend her for anyone taking Gen Psych!
She provides more than enough material to do well, plus the book which aligns very well with how she teaches things. Easy A if you go to class and try even a little bit! She's very knowledgeable and answers questions/does reviews for every exam. Very helpful.
This was my second time with this professor. I think she is a good professor, but you need to make sure you are studying to be able to succeed in this class. There are five exams, and she drops the lowest of the unit exams; the final is cumulative. There are also homework assignments. To help with the exams, you get a two-sided cheat sheet.
i do not know why she is rated so high. her tests are very difficult. she is very rude when you email her. could not pay me to take a class with her again.
I had her for Social Psych and then Psych Assessment back to back. She is really nice but the Connect HW assignments are a pain. Overall, I think there are too many exams, 4 unit exams and a final are overdoing it in my opinion and caused some stress. Go to class and take good notes.
Dr. Sciartelli's class was great. Her lectures were very interesting and I often found myself applying a lot of the course content to my life. The exams are difficult (there are extended response), but if you study you'll be fine. She is very passionate and caring. She challenges her students to think. And she always has answers to every question.
She was overall an amazing professor. You can tell she really is interested in the things she's teaching. There are 5 unit exams and 1 final. She drops your lowest exam score excluding the final. Super super easy I studied for the exams maybe an hour or two for every exam I've taken of hers. Take her if you can!!!
Professor S is amazing - super caring and wants you to succeed. Lots of study guides and the material is really engaging. Use unstuck ai along with the textbook, and you'll do great. Easy A if you put in the work!
You have to attend class if you want to pass. She expects you to remember every single small detail. She gives study guides but they aren't really helpful with the exams.
Sciartelli is a great professor. Study guides are comprehensive and tests are easy as long as you study. There are reading Inquisitives but they are easy to complete. Throughout the semester you must participate in studies to earn full credit, but extra credit is available, and studies are easy as long as you start early in the semester.
One of the best professors I've ever had.
This has been my first year of college and she has made this semester much easier. Even though there is quite a bit of work she puts in just as much to make sure students are prepared and can do the best they can. She is very open to give help and feedback and always makes time to speak with you after or before class.
There's not enough space to even describe how incredible she was. As a freshmen she eased my anxiety about exams and studying so much. Many opportunities for extra credit. Exams weren't hard as long as you prepared for them (she also gives a practice test in slides which is so helpful).best professor i've had this semester i wish her all the best!
i would highly recommend professor sciartelli. i was nervous to take psych, but i would 1000% do it again knowing how good this experience was. there are 5 exams, and she will drop your lowest score. my biggest piece of advice is to show up to class, even though it is not required. also, do the extra credit- there are 20 extra points!
Exams are hard but if you study a lot you should be able to do good. She is very helpful if you are struggling and cares about her students. Make sure to take notes because it helps a lot with exams. With exams she gives study guides and worksheets to help. Has a couple homework assignments per unit. One of my favorite professors.
I respect prof. Sciartelli but this was the hardest class I have ever taken. The exams are extremely difficult and I have never gotten below a B in a class but I got a C in this. I visited her office hours a few times and she was condescending. We went over a couple of my exams and she is a VERY tough grader on short answer.
This was my first time taking Psychology, and I was a little nervous going into the class. I found that attending the lectures was really helpful because most of the material on the test is talked about in the lecture. Her study guides were very clear and helped guide you in the correct direction for studying. I loved this class and how she taught!
OMG! THIS CLASS IS SO MUCH WORK! I have a near 4.0 GPA as a junior and I have never put this much work into a class. It's needed for my concentration if not I would have 1000% dropped. Kind lady but very out of touch with how much work she's giving her student. Crazy concept but we have other classes, lol
I love Sharon dearly and she knows what she is talking about. 10/10 will recommend her until the day I die.
Good professor, she is tougher than most in the psychology department.
She was amazing. It's very rare to see a professor as passionate as she is.
I took this class as a gen ed and for all the exams I only studied the night before and got all A's. Even though I would not recommend this method if you have to do it then you will be fine. She seemed like a nice person and has clear guidelines about everything that is done in class. She also graded exams really fast.
Really nice professor, she knows what she is talking about. The course is pretty difficult, or at the very least very work heavy. I didn't do the extra credit but I should have, and if you take her classes take advantage of the extra credit opportunities. The exams are pretty difficult, she does give comprehensive guides but still study, trust me.
She was a good teacher, but I couldn't focus to her speak at all. Lowk she sounds like Elastigirl from the Incredibles, it's just that she is on one slide for ages and is pretty monotone. There are a few homework assignments and a lot of extra credit, just make sure to do everything on time and study for tests! She gives lots of materials to help.
This class took years off my life. I would pay attention and go to all classes and study and still do SO BAD on the exams. It's mainly short answer and so comprehensive you need to know all aspects of the material. Class is so boring too and she's not engaging whatsoever
