PROS; LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT Cons; Lecture heavy & super duper hard tests Tips; SIT IN THE FRONT BECAUSE ITS ASSIGNED SEATING, take pictures of the practice tests during lecture (she lets you) those are on the tests and DO THE PRACTICE test because those are also on test. Study AHEAD. Also the study guide isn't really helpful so don't waste your time

The tests are each 50 questions being 10 from tracs, 10 from the textbook, and 30 from the lecture. She is a great teacher. Really sweet little lady. Interesting lectures, you can tell she loves her job. There are weekly quizzes online. Attendance was graded and used as extra credit. There are writing responses for extra credit as well.

Her class is lecture heavy and her exams do make up most of the grade; however, she offers SO much extra credit. You can get extra points for attending class and for writing short papers. She even offers 10 extra points for writing an essay. The homework is easy as well. If you put in effort and take VERY detailed notes, you should do well!

Dr. O is such a sweet lady and her class is very easy to do well in. Her class tends to drag on but she offers SO much extra credit and her tests are easy enough. Show up because she gives points for attendance and tons of points for small essays that you can submit. Her homework is online and she is super laid back for what she wants.

I took Professor O for PSY3300 and loved it. She is a super sweet lady and really makes sure her students succeed. There are tons of super easy extra credit opportunities in the form of 250 word "essays" and quick online homework that makes sure you get a 100 each time. I went to class, put in the work and got what I would consider an easy A.

She truly is an amazing woman. With her personal experiences tied into the class, it really shows how passionate she is about Lifespan and Development. She offers large quantities of extra credit that I highly recommend you doing because her tests are rather difficult. Quizlets offer good study material for the exams. Take the optional exam!!!

She gives extra credit if you miss 3 classes or less and offers plenty of other opportunities to get extra points throughout the semester.

Professor Ogletree is a knowledgeable teacher, although I would classify myself under the category of those who did not fancy her teaching style. Her classes are lecture heavy and there is a lot of information to retain, especially biological information. I wouldn't take her again.

I took her for my lifespan development lass bess because I took her for my human sexuality class and it was fairly simple. I don't know if she decided to switch it up this semester or what but her lectures are extremely long and the tests look like none of the material. It is all very confusing. The review that she sends out is damn near 25 pages

She is nice and has alot of extra credit. But her exams are unnecessarily hard because her study guides have far too much information to study. Make sure you understand her material in class, or you will use up 3-5 days just to complete her study guide. Definitely will not pass her class higher than a "D" studying a night or two before the exams.

Her class isn't easy, but she does give a lot of extra credit. If you don't go to class you will struggle because she gives majority of the notes in lecture. Her review guides are not worth doing because they are far too long to complete. Take good class notes and pay attention in class and you will pass.

I do recommend taking good notes in her class because sometimes the specific examples she gives are on the test. Shes so awesome, 10/10 recommend

Sweet lady, has a very relaxing voice, and knows her stuff. Gives extra credit but makes reviews for 50 question tests 10 pages long. Tells you you'll do good if you take GOOD DETAILED notes, meaning you have to remember every word she says. Makes the course way harder than it needs to be.

The class is "based off" of her in class speakings, but also consists of questions from slides and questions from online quizzes. Reading the book and taking word for word notes on what she says doesn't really help. There are assigned seats which count towards your attendance.

The amount of extra credit given is insane. I would recommend taking her for Lifespan Development. Although her lectures can be boring, the attendance counts for extra credit and you can easily get an A in this class if you go to class because some of her test questions come from lecture. 10 of the questions come directly from TRACS MC questions.

I read the textbook to help me fill out her reviews and made over a hundred on every exam. Her review seems complicated but her exams are easy. She also curves every exam and gives endless extra credit

I took human sexuality with her, and although she is not a bad professor, people still dont do well in the class. All the material also seems really easy but the median grade for each test was around 75%. I have no idea why she made the tests so difficult (even though they dont really seem difficult until you get your grade back).

Prof Ogletree is alright. If you show up to class you get extra points on the test but lecture was usually dull. I'd usually just work on another assignments during class. She's very sweet, but I felt like there was a lot of details to study just for test questions to be simple. She offers a lot of extra credit and appreciates when people speak up.
