She is a very caring individual that makes Pyschlogy very clear and easy. If you have a learning disablity, she will readily help you. She makes a hard class bearable.
She is an excellent teacher, who helped me with my wheelchair problems. It takes me awhile to get to I-building and they have not added alot of handicaped features yet. She also makes pyschology fun.
Shelley's awesome! True, her tests are kind of hard, but she is always willing to help and her lessons are so interesting. I really learn a lot from her.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! SHE GIVE SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND, CLEAR ASSIGNMENTS, GOOD INFORMATION ON WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE EXAMS. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT REQUIRED, BUT YOU LEARN, AND SHE MAKE IT INTERESTING AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO ANWER A QUESTION. GOOD TEACHER, WELL TAUGHT CLASS!
She is interesting. The work is hard but she is fair and makes the class fun
Shelly was one of my all-time favorite teachers; she's always enthusiastic and makes everything interesting. I found the tests to be very easy - just be sure to read the book and attend the lectures. She didn't assign any papers, we watched film clips often, and we conducted a few mini-experiments.
Shelly is a great instructor. There are many things to learn about Psychology and she makes the material very easy to understand. You go away from the class feeling like you actually learned something.

very sweet lady!one of the very few teachers I would definitely recommend.
Great Instructor!
I enjoy her classes!
she is a great teacher!
Dr. Metz was so nice, told you exactly what to study for the exams, and didn't assign too much work. She gives out bonus points...I finished the class with over 100%. She makes tough material easy to understand...no homework, just 3 - 4 exams and a final. I would recommend her to everyone!
Dr. Metz is one of the best instructors I have had. She made the class fun, and I learned a lot of useful information that applies to life. The workload was easy...4 exams, final and extra credit for chapter outlines.
Interesting lecturer. Tests are multiple choice from book and lectures and not very difficult, but require attendance and close reading of material. No papers. Couple of hilarious videos from the late ‘60s or early ‘70s on experiments and topics within the discipline. Recommend.
I loved this teacher!!! She was very very nice, and expressed her love of psychology thru her teaching. A little boring, but not completely. I loved it.
Mrs.Metz is a wounderful teacher I would recamend her to anyone. she gives extra credit for outlines.
She is a good teacher who really tries but I was still bored. The human sexuality class turned into a health class rather than a psy class =( She is easy enough but you do have to study the book (her lecture are really just compliments to the book in psy 101).She gives good study guides and will answer questions. Nice lady and a fair grader.
She's a freaking AMAZING teacher! She's super easy to understand, and she pushes you to study so you'll always do well on the tests! The homework was very well laid out and spaced correctly. If I ever got to have her again for anything I would take it.
This is the BEST class I have had all semester. I actually enjoy going to class, Ms. Metz makes every thing fun, she is increadibly helpful.
This class is fun. Most of the class is watching movies (some bad some good) and some class discussion. However, once you turn in your first homework you can will understand how difficult it is to get a perfect grade. I turned in 7 pages single spaced and had a "need more info" comment. Good teacher, but hard to get an "A"
Dr. Metz is a very nice lady. She is willing to help you and offers alot of extra credit.. But you MUST study for her tests or you will not pass.. So if your willing to work hard her class is easy.
She is great!!! extremely recomended!!! she is a nice person and she is willing to help you at any time. Her tests are kinda long but she offers between 4 and 5 extra credits for each outline that you make for a test!! If you study and stick to the study guide its an easy A+
She is great!!! extremely recomended!!! she is a nice person and she is willing to help you at any time. Her tests are kinda long but she offers between 4 and 5 extra credits for each outline that you make for a test!! If you study and stick to the study guide its an easy A+
Prof. Metz is very nice and helpful/ She really seems to want her students to enjoy her class, and works hard to make it so. It's a hard class, and if you don't study you won't pass. If you are willing to work it's not bad though. Not my favorite class, but I feel that i learned a lot.
Dr. Metz is an amazing instructor!She is very friendly and does a great job lecturing. I didn't even have to crack the text much... just studied from my notes. Very helpful and offers extra credit.
Shelly is a great instructor. very well organized and helpfull. Test are all multiple choice and she offers extra credit for outlining chapters studied. Handouts and study guides provided for all exams, if you don't pass it is because you didn't do the work. "Highly recommended"
Dr. Metz is a great teacher! She is very sweet and cares what every student has to say. She never talks down to anyone and makes all her explanations crystal clear. Her class is also very easy. She gives multiple choice tests and her final is only 50 questions multiple choice. She also assigns no hw and you get extra credit for outlining chapters!
Psych and Film: Great teacher although not an easy "A". You must know how to write a paper as she will gig you for a poor writing attempt. She loves verbose papers so be prepared to write big papers. However, the class was fun. Show up talk a little and watch a film. Hand in homework before class. She gives you every chance to turn it late HW too.
She was totally awesome. She is passionate about the subject. She relates it to real life, and follows the material in the book, so there is nothing on the test that she did not cover.
Awesome teacher very well versed in her field very nice sometimes she does let the student talk to much and this eats up class time and she isn't able to cover all the material this is the only issue i had but her test are fair and cover the material she bases a lot of the test on what she overs in class so be sure to attend every class
Mrs Metz is a great teacher, i would definitely recommend, you will learn alot about psycology. I still use alot of the information i learned outside of class a year later. She is also very nice and helpful!
LOVE SHELLY.... SHE WAS TOTALLY AWSOME.... I TOOK HER OVER THE SUMMER 2011 AND HER CLASS WAS AWSOME SHE TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO STUDY FOR THE TESTS SO THEY ARE EASY I GOT A 98% IN HER CLASS. JUST SHOW UP TO EACH CLASS AND DO THE OUTLINES FOR THE TEST TO GET THE EXTRA CREDIT AND YOU'LL ACE HER CLASS TOO!!
Shelly is awesome. She knows what she's talking about and is a really good teacher. She makes things clear and it's really obvious that she wants us all to succeed. She makes up a study sheet for every exam and let's us know ahead of time exactly what we'll need to know for every test. Awesome lady!
Took her for 1105 as well. HIGHLY recommend her. Very informative, congenial, interactive and genuinely interested in her students. Will miss having her as an instructor. Gave me a solid foundation for my Psych degree though! One of my favorite instructors for sure! Strongly encourage you to take her classes!
Very good teacher. Willing to help and explains everything thoroughly. The lectures are easy to follow and understand. Tests are based on memorization. Takes notes and read the textbook and you'll do fine.
Ms. Metz was a wonderful teacher!!! She was very informed on what she was teaching, nice, helpful, and kept the class fun and interesting by using videos and doing small group assignments. The tests were multiple choice - but you still needed to study and be prepared for them. Extra credit assignments were also offered. *****
Wonderful, cheerful teacher clearly interested in her field! Made learning the concepts fun with discussions and videos. Gives extra credit for outlining chapters, exams are multiple choice but beware if you miss an exam, the makeup test is in essay form! I highly recommend this teacher whether or not psych is your field of study.
Dr. Metz is an awesome Professor. She makes class very fun and her lectures are very informative. Psy 1105, being in introduction to Psychology course has a lot of information to learn, but she is well versed in the material and makes it very easy.
Shelly is amazing! Very insightful. I took her Psych in Film class and the only thing I had a difficult time with was a movie about suicide. Aside from that, she is great! She does make you write a lot on your homework assignments but just do the homework and participate in class, and you'll receive and easy A. Highly recommend her!
Shelly is such a great professor! She makes class really interesting, offers ex.credit on every test and even the final, I really recommend her class! Very verbatim with the book, so go to class, read(outline for excredit) chapters and you'll do great!
I LOVED this class! Shelly made everything fun and easy. She gives extra credit and gives outlines of what you should know before all exams and the final. The material is easy. Yes, the videos are outdated but they do help. Attendance is mandatory!! Easiest class I have this term
Great teacher! I enjoy her lessons and her voice is so calming. :3
Very nice and polite, always has relevant information in the lectures. Gives extra credit constantly.
Shelly incorporates older videos and good examples. The information is easy to follow. She gets the class involved with behavior experiments. She grades based on test scores only, so you definitely want to read the text book and listen to her lectures. Easy A if you show up and pay attention; it's not hard to love Shelly Metz.
Shelly is a great teacher. she offers extra credit on every outline and they're so helpful when it comes to studying for her tests. I rarely studied for her tests and still got B's on all of them. she's really sweet and she relates the information to everyday life. You'll enjoy her class I'm sure of it.
Shelly is a great professor! She knows how to teach her class in a manner that you completely understand the material. She really knows her stuff and is eager and happy to explain to students her knowledge. She gives extra credit for outlining the chapters that will be on the exam which motivates you, and at the same time helps you be more prepared
She's an amazing teacher who will help you learn. You need to read the textbook to pass the class but bringing it to class isn't necessary, nor is actually showing up.
Shelly was an incredible teacher and I absolutely loved her class. I will be taking more of her courses in the future. She is so interested in psychology, and it comes across when she teaches. You could probably pass the class if you just showed up and paid attention to the lecture, as the tests are just an overview of her lectures. Book helps.
As long as you take notes and make flash cards you will easily pass. Lectures are easy, tests are 40 questions multiple choice and for each test if you took notes you get +4 extra credit points. Very nice woman. After taking psychology twice and failing it twice at UNM , I finally am doing well and I owe it to Mrs. Metz.
She was a great teacher. Very nice person. She gave really good lectures and tried to make class interesting. Not much homework, mostly just reading.
Dr. Metz has a really positive attitude, she makes her lectures extremely interesting and explains everything in a very clear concise way. She's also really helpful and gives lots of extra credit. She provides helpful study guides tips and notes and doesn't bog the class down with busy work. She really seems to understand students and enjoy her job
Excellent Teacher! I will definitely take some more of her classes.
Great teacher, very intuitive. She goes over everything that going to be on the tests. Gives study sheets weeks in advance. Very passionate and it shows. Would take again.
Great teacher, very intuitive.
Good psychology course to take! This course focuses on abnormal psychology concepts that are portrayed in film. Never skip an assignment or miss a day of class (otherwise, it will be hard to catch up)!
Her lectures are amazingly helpful! Wonderful Dr.
Shelly is an amazing instructor! She's very helpful and makes learning very easy.
She was an amazing teacher! Lectures were accompanied by typed notes. She gave 5 tests and no quizzes or homework. Easy A!
I would not recommend this class. It is only graded on tests. Her lectures do not help me because she talks to fast and only writes down one word on the board from each sentence so you do not get all the notes due to her talking to fast and horrible notes. I asked what I can do and she told me I can just drop the class. Not helpful. The worst class
I must start this by stating this was an 8 week course. With that said, Shelly had no intention of shortening homework assignments or diminishing testing requirements. She did seem to genuinely care about her students, but the amount of work she assigned was unbearable. The films were interesting, but all the hw took away from the joy.
Shelly is a good professor. She explains everything really well, and gives great examples. She does offer quite a bit of extra credit, I recommend to take full advantage. She is very sweet and kind, but in an 8 week course she didn't seem to remember very many people's name.. but oh well. Read the book and go to class, and you'll be fine!
An A Is doable in Dr. Metz's class. Take detailed notes directly from the book (extra credit). Writing the information makes it easier to remember (you are encoding it twice). Dr. Metz will explain anything you do not understand. She will also answer questions immediately before the exam. Exams are multiple choice. She is helpful and personable.
A good teacher who knows what she's talking about. Grades are based solely on the five tests during the term. She teaches very close to the text book. Lectures are boring, as she is monotone and has next to no class interaction. Shows lots of videos, some of which are very old. As long as you pay attention, read the book, and study, you'll get an A
As long as you show up, pay attention, and do the reading you can easily pass her class.
This teacher actually inspired me to change my major because she's just so bad. Her lectures are so confusing and she jumps from topic to topic and over explains very simple things. The only way to pass her class is to read the book and pass the tests. There's not even a point in showing up to her class because it's a waste of time.
My favorite instructor this term!
Just study what is on the study sheets and you will pass without difficulty. She also provides extra credit!
I love Ms. Metz, and highly recommend her classes (this is my second time taking a class from her). She makes the class super easy (e.g., she gave us a study guide that basically had the questions that would be on the midterm on it), and is super accommodating to her students. She's a lenient grader and, to me, her classes are an easy A.
Alot of memorization. She explains it very well, still be prepared to read textbook.
Dr. Metz was the nicest teacher I had. Just take good notes on her lectures and do brief outlines of the chapters for extra credit and you'll get an A. Your grade comes from 5 tests of 100 points each. At first I was worried because I'm not the greatest test taker, but the tests are really easy/multiple choice.
Easy. Didnt really challenge me which was disappointing. But if you need an easy A, youre set.
Only 5 grades, all tests and one of which is the final. This was scary to me at first but it's an Easy A. Show up, study a little and you will get an A. She is funny and cares about your success, very easy-going and gives you everything you need to be successful.
She talks awfully a lot for a person who has an unpleasant voice! She gives no homework and your grade in the class is based on 5 exams, which she really doesn't prepare you for. She gives a measly 2 extra credit points for doing outlines for each chapter, which are 30 or more pages long and the chapters are not very helpful either. Don't take her!
This professor is not good at her job. Her lectures are pointless, you can not show up read the book and you are set. She did not help with study guides or narrow down what to study. She would have random stories in her lectures and they would end up being a question on the test! I would not recommend her at all.
Great class and great teacher!
One of my all time favorite professors from CNM. I went into this psychology course with no prior experience or even knowing what it was. She made it easy to understand. Very great professor and would take her again.
She is truly amazing. She makes her lectures interesting and it is easy to learn. She does not require attendance and if you don't go you just read the book alongside the study sheet she gives you for each exam and you'll be golden. 4 exams plus final exam with specified study sheet, extra credit available... LOVE her don't take anyone else!!
Was graded purely on exams, so if you do not study it will show. Reading the entirety of the chapter helps a lot, as well as taking solid notes. If you do these things you will get an easy A.
Dr. Metz is the coolest, shes friendly to all and very organized. I was going through some of my old notes & realized how much I miss being in her class even if it was on a Friday. I remember she was such a good instructor I didnt mind going first on presentation days. If you have the opportunity to take one of her courses GO FOR IT!
Took Psych & Film. Loved this class, the homework & assignments are light & straight forward. Homework is from the book. Exams are in paragraph form, easy as long as you do the homework. Dr. Metz is so joyful, patient, & fun. Though she is very knowledgeable, she is willing to admit when she doesn't know something. Easy to contact, quickly replies
One word-Amazing.
She is so happy and caring. Her tests are very fair and she gives you a study sheet with basically all the stuff she wants you to know. She also gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. This class was a lot of fun!
Professor Metz was an incredible teacher, knows her stuff and will take the time to help you if you get lost or confused. Grade is based on tests and she offers extra credit.
I Loved Shelly! Shes is an awesome teacher , I honestly wish she could teach all my classes. I have never had a better teacher , she is so caring with so many examples during class and so funny! If there is one teacher I recommend it is her. She definitely wants her students to pass. I had fun every time I came into class.
AMAZING professor! Lectures are fun, must show up to class! Tests are easy as long as you study. Extra credit helps you learn the material and is worth it. No in-class assignments, just group discussions, lectures, and films. Pretty easy class for the amount of material covered.
I like her but Im worried about my grade. Pray for me guys, I need an A
I took professor Metz last minute in terms of planning my schedule, and to my distaste the class was right before I work. I found myself looking forward to hearing her speak, and she is invested in helping her students pass, and the material is very manageable if you are new to it. She's about everything you could want in a professor. Fantastic. A+
Ms. Metz is a great teacher! I took her psychology in film class and it was very intriguing. I was always looking forward to going to her class because I enjoyed it so much. We learned fascinating things about the human mind and analyzed those traits using characters from interesting films. Highly recommend!
I really liked this professor. She was really sweet and answered every question and showed different ways to understand f your confused.
Professor Metz was the best professor ever! I have always loved psychology and she further expanded my love for psychology!! She would count assignments as full credit as long as it was in before Monday morning.
Shelly Metz is amazing! I took psych in film with her and it is still one of my favorite classes to date. She is really caring and understanding. I highly recommend taking any class with her!
Dr. Metz is the epitome of what a college professor should be. She includes various interesting facts about the course and is very attentive to students' needs. After the first exam, she saw most of class not doing very well so she allowed us to use an index card on the next one. Highly recommended!
Omg she'll give you pencil, scantron sheets for your test, lending you textbook eventually. All you need to do is read textbook, (do the outline for exam and you'll get extra credit it's fine if you don't do it but the outline's helpful she'll offer the backup exam coupon and if you don't use that coupon you'll earn 5 extra credits as I remember).
She does not make online announcements as much as other classes and sometimes gets off-topic; however, she is great at helping and giving resources and lets you earn extra credit in different forms!
The professor is very nice, she helped me a lot during the course. I will take her again
The professor is great at helping and providing resources. Attend class, read the textbook, and use study tools like unstuck AI to do well. Easy class with extra credit opportunities.
