You pretty much have to go to every class to understand the material. Exams every one to two weeks, with a make-up for both the first four exams and the second four exams (eight total). Pretty interesting, but quite a bit of work just for those exams.

The tests were ridiculously easy. You could get by without the textbook and get an A if you went to every class and paid attention. She posts study guides with everything that will be on the test and page numbers for where to find the information. I wish she allowed for more discussions and projects/essays instead of just multiple choice tests.

Dr. Rubin is a great teacher and is easy to listen to. She always had interesting stories that kept me awake. The only negative I see is the way the tests are written. A lot of the questions are double negative or written in a way like she is trying to trick you into putting the wrong answer. But she is a helpfull, nice teacher.

I took this online. Expectations were really clear. "Study objectives" are very tedious, but they make you review the material so you are ready for the week's quiz. No big exams, just little multiple choice tests (25 Qs) at the end of each week. Some of the videos she has the class watch are really interesting, which helps in an online course.

Great professor. Loved her.

You will need to put in hours of studying to get a good grade in this online class. When i had a question the professor responded same day. Very time consuming class with a lot of homework to complete. I've never had so much work for one class in my entire college career. Seems quite excessive for being a 3 credit course, in my opinion.

This is a rather easy class. You learn about some interesting stuff. Just review the study objectives before the test (study, not just review) and you're good to go. Gives a couple extra credit opportunities. Will only reply to your school email. No drinks during the tests & won't let you leave during them & makes you turn your hat backwards.

Doctor Rubin certainly knows her psychology! She is easy to listen to and gives a lot of information in her power points. Her exams can be somewhat difficult but overall if you study you'll do pretty good. For my class we had to use iclickers, which was helpful. She really wants to see her students succeed.

Dr. Rubin was the best professor at had at GRCC. Exams are frequent and tough, but they aren't too bad if you pay attention in class. She explains everything you need to know and makes it interesting too.

Great professor! She's very helpful on how you should study for exams. Very strict with cell phones. If you are 5 minutes late for class, good luck trying to get in.

She is a very nice lady. She is organized and very helpful.

Wonderful teacher! She explains things with real life examples and it makes it easier to understand concepts. Would recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Rubin is very intelligent. If you attend all the lectures you will get an extra 10 points. Also she has a few extra credit lecture opportunities throughout the semester. She provides study objective sheets. Make sure you know the study objectives! 20 questions online exam

This woman is horrible for an online class. She creates a lot of busy work and acts as though you do not have a life. Avoid at all costs.

Expect extreme amounts of busy work. Expect to write endlessly for study objectives that have no impact on testing grade. Taught much more like a high school class than a college class. It would appear teacher spent more time insuring class would require 12 hours a week to complete assignments than concentrating on content.

She's a pro in the field, what else do you expect.

If you do the work, you will get a good grade. I enjoyed the class, she used a lot of real life stories (that we watched in videos) to help us better understand the chapters. There is a lot of busy work, but as I said if you do it- you'll get a good grade.

I found Dr. Rubin to be an excellent psychology professor. I highly recommend her! Be prepared to work, and make sure you follow her instructions throughout the semester. If you keep up with the assignments, you should have no trouble getting a good grade in the class.

Tough class but loved it.

Great class. Really interesting lectures. Some class activities. Professor really cares about students. One of the best teachers i have had.

Dr. Rubin is an Amazing Professor. Her expectations are clear, and if you work hard do assignment, and attend lectures, you will do well.

Dr. Rubin gives out 4 exams a semester and lets you make up 2 of them without penalty. She gives out extra credit for perfect attendance and optional lectures. attendance is graded. mypsychlab is easy as she grades on completion and not accuracy. every class is a lecture and gives you study guides for each unit. only 3 papers total- accepts late.

Her lectures are very descriptive and helpful, but if you're not there for a day, you're screwed honestly. She goes pretty fast but she's very good at explaining everything and always answers questions

She is a very nice, down-to-earth lady with a great sense of humor. The course itself is hard and requires a lot of studying, but she is generous enough to allow two make-up tests. She does her part as the instructor, and you must do your part (do the work) to get a good grade.

I dreaded taking Psych, but needed to for my pre reqs and with her I actually enjoyed this class and did very well. Take ALL notes (no computers), graded from attendance, 3 small writing assignments, 4 exams-just read your notes and a final. Also multiple EC opportunities, DO THEM I got 30 points of EC overall. Very helpful and knowledgeable

Nice teacher. Very test heavy class.

Online psych was great. Just do the work and you'll be fine. Clear instructions.

This class was the bomb! She's super friendly and funny. Lectures are way interesting. My favorite!

Amazing teacher, makes learning fun! She tells a lot of stories to help you remember what you are learning. There are many opportunities to ask questions and clarify material. The mindtap and online work can be time consuming, but defiantly helps you memorize the material.

Great class. You have to work, but lectures are fun and interesting. Go to class. Extra credit available.

Very good lectures and clear grading criteria

Caring and enthusiastic prof. Fair grading. Grades on a curve. Extra credit. Use the study guide.

Great lectures, plus she teaches helpful study habits that be carried on, as well as being very open to questions/discussion. Easy to access outside of class and gives you plenty of resources to help you succeed. Tests are worth a lot of points so make sure you study. If you pay attention during lectures and take notes, you will be fine!

I was skeptical of taking this class based off some of the reviews for this class but honestly its been extremely easy. Standard amount of homework for an online class, schedule and syllabus are very clear and accurate. Class itself is very interesting. Would take again.

Since I took her online, everything was pretty much open-textbook. She used like two websites for everything, but she responded well through email. Some of the questions on a quiz were graded wrongly for me once and she fixed that, so she is understanding about that. I enjoyed the content and assume she would be nice in person, recommend.

Online HW is required, dont slack! Shes funny & a great lecturer. Exams arent super easy, study! Dont skip if you can help it. Lots of in class discussions & participation. Makes you think & wants you to learn. Explains things pretty well, approachable. Reminds me of Garcia from criminal minds

Dr. Rubin is an amazing instructor! She relates to students and does as much as she can to ensure students' success. Everything in the study guide is on the exam so it's really easy to pass this class! Uses guided notes but explains everything thoroughly in lecture. Try not to skip bevause you will miss a lot of information. 10/10 would recommend!

Prof Rubin was amazing. Really good explanations, open to answering all questions in class. Very clear grading criteria and great lecture notes that are almost all you need to study for the exams. She also gives a study guide and extra credit activities. I totally recommend her for this psych class!

Very understanding and interesting lectures. Very personable and funny. The class was easy as long as you participated and did your work. Definitely recommend.

Ugh I loved her! She was so kind. And she made lectures so easy because she applied stuff to her daily life. Test were pretty easy. Loved this class

She was wonderful to have as an instructor. She gave us lecture notes that we needed to print out before the start of each unit and we would have them there to follow along and fill in the blanks. She gave extra credit assignments, two late passes, and she gave us make up exams. Understand and cares about her students.

The online class was very easy. She responded to emails quickly. Would take again!

I was leery but any professor who assigns books from open-stack is a lifesaver. The class is hard, but it's not an easy subject. She makes it a bit easier though. Reach out to her for study tips and anything else you are struggling with. She really does want you to pass!

My favorite class ever, so interesting and useful. I would take any virtual or on campus class Dr R teaches. The class was structured for students success, the syllabus was detailed and clear, she followed its content but adjusted it for our benefit when needed. Without her explanations and diagrams, it would be difficult to grasp some concepts.

Pros: Relatively easy exams, graded on curve, allowed late passes, made lecture notes, open resource textbook. Cons: Fill in the blank lecture notes, recites from power point mostly, can be absent with little warning, no electronics aka pen and paper notes only, constant mask fiddling/folding (decreased effective protection) without sanitizing.

Took advanced Psychology online and was a little nervous for it. Her outline and schedule was so organized and flowed perfectly, I didn't feel rushed in learning the material. Has make up exams and always takes higher grade. Loved her and the course

Put in the work and study and you will do just fine! Loved this course and professor Rubin. Exams are recorded so be sure to study!!

Professor Rubin releases all work at the beginning of the semester, great for planning/working ahead. No lectures for online class, just textbook reading. Each week follows the same format. Quizzes are hard to study for, practice quizzes are not very relevant to the actual quiz and some information in them is from the previous textbook edition.

Not sure where all of these negative ratings are coming from. I am currently finishing up the semester with her and have a 96% in the class. As long as you do the weekly assignments and use quizlet to study for the exams and reading quizzes you will pass this class.

Took abnormal psych and did enjoy the class. There are weekly quizzes, but most of the questions are based on the textbook, not the lecture. Tests aren't too bad. The only thing is that if you don't read the textbook, you won't know how to answer the questions. But I barely read it and passed so it just depends. Informative class.

Very clear with everything and great at lectures. I enjoyed her class.

She tries. She is logical in her grading. You probably don't have to read the book word for word, but skim it and make sure you know key concepts. Some things from lecture and not in the book are on test so pay attention. overall I would take her again.

Great professor! I learned a lot in the class. Engaging lectures on things that aren't in the book. There is A LOT of reading and I almost couldn't keep up. Do all the practice quizzes and you'll do fine on the exams. Every exam has a curve and there are 1-2 extra credit opportunities. Do everything she says and you'll do fine.

I took General Physiology with her and found her teaching style to be straightforward. She provides the entire semester's material upfront, which allows students to work ahead. Additionally, I found Quizlet to be a helpful study tool for her exams.

Professor Rubin was straightforward with assignments with clear expectations. There are video summaries, study guides and quizzes. I personally felt the quizzes were somewhat difficult and the study guides didn't always match up to what was on the quizzes but luckily the other assignments made up for some missed quiz points! Great class!

Lectures are really interesting. Nice professor. Exams are easy if you go to class and do the homework. Gives lecture notes, makeup exams, and extra credit. Definitely recommend.

Took her online class, it's easy as long as you're doing your work. Would recommend.

Amazing professor! Her lectures were interesting and unique. She used many examples that were extremely memorable, which helped me remember a lot more on tests! She gives you two late passes to use on any assignment, no matter how late, and that was extremely helpful. Grades on a curve as well when it's needed.

Friendly and fair professor. Gives makeup exams, extra credit, late passes. Lectures are informative and interesting. Really nice person.

Everything you'd want from a professor is here, from exam makeups to late assignment passes for full credit and visual and understanding lectures. The note sheet is confusing but compact to reduce printing costs. I'd suggest bolding titles and sections according to the study guide; it's worth the extra cost..

Go to class and do the reading and you will do fine on exams. Gives makeup exams, late passes, and extra credit. Really enjoyed class. Very nice teacher. She really cares about her students.

A really great course. You can tell she really cares about her students and is passionate about psychology. Gives make up exams, extra credit, etc. Weekly schedule is posted at the very beginning of the semester - very organized. Exams are short and only cover minimal info. Go to class and read the book and you will do fine.
