pretty goof prof. Tests were kind of hard but getting an A is possible. Get the class involved with discussions from their own life and how it relates to the topic at hand.Also it helps she is pretty to look at so going to class wasnt that bad :)
SHE'S HOT! Her class is awesome! And I def recommend taking her!!!
fun and entertaining during class.
She was a good teacher. Actually had funny jokes. Was very laid back! Good teacher.
Super nice and laid back. She's very goofy and quizzes are ridiculously easy. Tests are easy if you put a little studying in. Gives extra credit!
Absolutely loved her! The quizzes and tests weren't hard at all, and her lectures were actually entertaining and interesting! Attendance not mandatory but she'll give extra credit if you show up! Fun class!
loved her!!! my favorite teacher this year .. so cool and nice ...
Stacey is wonderful. She is really passionate about psychology. She knows a lot and explains things clearly. She is also really funny. Lots of stories about her kids, but they're funny.
Gave quizzes before the exam class to let you know what material you really needed to study. Gave attendance bonus. One research paper that was easy. Posted fill-in-the-blank notes on BlackBoard. Tests were 100% regurgitation of knowledge. No synthesis or critical thinking required. Final was not cumulative.
One of my favorite prof's ever. Kind, caring, funny, knowledgeable and REALLY hot.
Amazing class! Only took it because it was required but I'm soo glad I took it! She makes the class easy to understand and very comprehensive! She also gives plenty of opportunities to get extra credit!
Adams was very clear on describing the material. Class was not mandatory but very helpful, as that's how most of her test info was given. Quizzes were a breeze and there was no homework. Very easy and interesting general education requirement.
Dr. Adams is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. She is a very relaxed grader and I thought the class was super easy. I received pretty much an A+ without hardly studying. She is also extremely nice and kind of crazy, but in a good way. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but instead she gave extra credit sometimes for showing up.
Amazing teacher, she is super hilarious! SHow up and on random days you get bonus.. I want every teacher to be just like her
I would take this class over in a heart beat! She gives you the notes ahead of time and her lectures are great! You never get bored, she is always telling jokes! He quizzes are easy just show up to class. Her tests are easy as long as you spend some time looking over everything!
Boring lectures. She gave 5pt quizzes before every exam. Only 1 research paper and 4 exams total including the final which wasn't cumulative. She provided online notes with blanks and study guides before the exams. She didn't require attendance instead she gave random extra credit for exams, although attendance helps for tests.
Best teacher I've had. All the material needed for the tests are in the slides you go over in class. Easy-going and makes the class fun.
Awesome teacher, she really makes the class interesting and explains the material rather than reading off the slides. She also comes up with ways to remember said material so you don't have to. She really is a wonderful professor
Professor Adams is such a great professor with a helpful personality. She is very knowledgeable in Psychology and she is a clinical child psychologist too. Her tests are super easy as long as you study the definitions. She gives attendance points that are worth 2 points each on random days. There is only one paper to write and 5 point easy quizzes
She is an awesome teacher. Also she is a babe!
As long as you take notes and read over them then you'll do fine! She does give out quizzes once in a while and on random days she gives out 2 points of extra credit. You have to write a few papers, most are easy but there is a big one at the end. Also, be prepare to spend 6 hours of your own time at simple psych tests outside of class.
Stacey Adams is a wonderful teacher. Her lectures are very clear and tests and quizzes are super easy. She gives out extra credit on random days so make sure you show up for class. I wish every professor was like her.
easiest class i have taken at SIUE. very funny and easy to get along with. would definitely take again.
I loved her as a professor! She is very funny, well put together and I have yet to hear a complaint about her. Before taking her class I was majoring in nursing, and now i'm a psych major!
Awesome professor! I had her my first semester of college and she really set the bar high. She's very nice and presents the material in a clear way. There are never any curveballs on the exams and she gives out extra credit points. Would take her class again.
This class is so easy that its almost an insult to the student body intelligence. Middle school level psychology. Will you get an A? YES. Will you learn anything solid about psychology? NO. Perfect class for freshmen students wanting an easy A, not a good choice for upper level students wanting to learn general psych or premed or predental students
funny, goes over notes so if you know your notes you will do fine on all the tests
* Boring class material, but Adams does what she can to make it bearable. * Several group projects. * I never opened the textbook or studied the lectures and got A's on the midterm/final (common sense material). * Attendance was not mandatory, but she sometimes passed a sheet around for bonus points if you were in class.
She is one of the best teachers I've ever had. The work is not hard as long as you pay attention. She is also super funny and extremely nice. I would definitely take this class again, just to have her as a teacher again.
Such a nice, understanding teacher. Her work isn't hard, but it's not super easy. Definitely one where if you read the notes, which she simplifies, then you'll do well on her exams. She tries to make the class fun and personable, and loves when the class participates. Would 10/10 take her again!
Stacey is amazing! This class was very well organized & she is super layed back, caring & has great lecture material. Attendance isn't mandatory, but every once in a while she'll give extra credit to people for just showing up. 4 or 5 pretty easy tests & 3 or 4 papers that you pick the due dates on. That's it. No homework. TAKE THIS WITH HER!!
Prof. Adams is probably one of the best I've had. She really does know her stuff and is passionate about the content. She relates to the class well and makes lectures enjoyable and easy to follow. She is a fair grader and is just one of those profs. that loves her job and she definitely shows it.
She was an easy A. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but she would randomly pass out attendance sheets for extra credit. Tests were multiple choice and she had a clear grading rubric.
Adams is a really interesting professor. She uses a lot of stories and examples which makes the matieral fun. Her lecture can move a little slow sometimes. Overall a good teacher. She is easy to understand and gives extra credit for attendance.
Stacey is such a great professor and I would recommend her to anyone. She is super nice and has interesting lectures.
She is a great teacher, if you took psych in high school this is pretty much just a review. She is very good at explaining and I learned a lot.
Adams was an amazing teacher. Her lectures are very clear and well presented. GO TO THE STUDY SESSIONS BEFORE EACH EXAM AND YOU WILL NOT GET BELOW A 85. No homework, besides interactive assignments that will take maybe 15 minutes to complete once or twice a week. Offered extra credit as well.
Best teacher I have had in this college, she does a great job at explaining the tough topic and will also give extra credit. Go to the study sessions they will help a lot.
Mrs. Adams is GREAT! She is a psychologist so she knows a lot about psychology already. Her lectures are very informative and entertaining. Make sure you take notes on the slides during lecture, and study those slides before tests. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. If you do all that, you should have no problem with this class!
Professor Adams is one of the best professors. She talks the whole class but most of the time it's interesting and she tells stories. There are 4 exams that are easy if you study and a study guide was always made for us. Professor Adams gives several assignments such as easy online activities to boost grades, along with extra credit.
Easy class and professor. Four exams that are easy and you get a study guide for each one. All exams are multiple choice. All homework/quizzes are online. Attendance is not mandatory so you don't even need to show up except for exam days. Highly recommend taking Professor Adams for PSYC 111.
Professor Adams is awesome!! Attendance is not mandatory, but it is helpful in doing well on tests. She cares for her students. Lectures are interesting. Highly recommend taking her for your basic psychology class.
She is super sweet and is funny in class. Her stories do help with the lectures, and are entertaining as well.
Professor Adams is very engaged with her students and lectures are always interesting because she tells stories and makes it interesting for students. There are 4 exams (final exam is not cumulative) and she provides study guides for each one. There are chapter quizzes too and using the book is a must to get a good grade on them. Highly recommend!
She can be super rude if you ask for any extra points or for her to round your grade up by 1 point. She doesn't do much besides reading off the lecture slides and she doesn't make her own exams the TA does. She talks so much and most of her stories are irrelevant. Just make sure you get 100% on everything because she doesn't round.
This class is an easy A so if that's what you're looking for then go for this professor, but you have to study the material on your own to actually learn/ retain the material on your own. Read the powerpoint and you'll pass the test. Although attendance is not mandatory she will sometimes give extra credit to those who actually show up.
I loved how there were kahoots! That really helped with the tests! I would study those & always got an A or B on the tests. She would tell stories in class that would help you to understand the material. I also really liked how she gave us examples on how to remember things (or how she remembered it when she had to learn it)
She made the class enjoyable and really cared about her students learning. However, you need to read the book to receive A's on tests.
Amazing teacher! Cares for her students. The topic is demanding but she finds ways to engage her students so that they enjoy her lectures. Random attendance days to try to go to class! Also, dont slack on research points!!!
She really cares if her students are passing or not and gives extremely clear guidelines and expectations for the week every week. I would definitely take again and was sad when I found out I wasnt taking any of her classes this semester.
She is such a great instructor. I had her for PSYC111 and now currently PSYC201. She really cares about her students and their well-being as well as how they are doing in the class. If I could have her instruct all of my classes I would. She never really has busy work, only what you need to know and for both classes has study sessions for tests.
Love her
Very sweet prof, she is very social and loves talking to students. Lectures are long (40-70 min) but she still stays on track. Exams are a little difficult but if you study the power points you should be fine.
I had it asynchronous and I loved Professor Adams! Her lectures were v detailed and she made sure to clearly explain the material. There were about 2 hrs of lecture videos per week. She gives many EC opportunities and really cares about her students. She holds live discussions and the TA holds Kahoot Exam Review sessions! Tests were open note.
The class isnt difficult but I hate that she expects so much when this elective class anyway. I needed to study harder for her exams than my actual classes I needed. The exams are not as straight forward as they could be and she talks about all this extra credit but its not as much as she says . 5/10 would not recommend.
She is, if not the best, one of the best professors I've had. She's so sweet and cares about all of her students. I've taken two of her psychology classes, and since they're asynchronous, she posts the lectures on Blackboard. The only drawback is that the lectures are long, but if you manage your time well, it should be fine. 110% take her!!!
I would not recommend it if you don't have to. Her lectures are about 2hrs for asynchronous and I didn't find anything helpful. I learned more from the book. The exams you really need to study, I felt like I understood everything and then the exams were nothing like what she said. Don't bother asking for extra credit. GRADES HARD
Let's just say this class made me want to switch my major even easier. Our class has never even met her. She used the Graduate Assistance to do her work. I am very disapponted in what my first semester and I don't even see my teacher or she doesn't even bother to introduce herself.
prof submits her lectures to blackboard and you just have an exam like every three weeks. super easy
This professor is very nice and caring! The class is lecture heavy and you need to show up.
Great lectures, but very hard tests. The tests are applied knowledge, which is never really practiced in class
Get her if you can. The class was so easy. It consists of easy online hw, online exams that me and roommate work together on, 1 paper that was easy and only a few pages, and research credit hours which are easy to complete. A student version of lecture notes are posted online but it's not the same as the one she used in class so you have to go.
I loved Prof. Adams so much. She made me want to explore psychology more even if I minored in it. She is really really nice and cares so much about what she does. She's funny and makes class fun and I really love going. u also get a lot of xtra credit chances and everything that's due is really clear so you literally cannot fail if u pay attention.
Prof Adams has been my favorite professor in my 5 years at SIUE.
amazing!
She is fairly easy for the most part even tough some exams were stressful.
Most of your grade is tests.
She is a very nice professor. Stacy is very funny, but some lectures can be a little boring but that may just be me. Homework isn't too heavy, you will get a writing assignment but it has a outline provided for you, some quizzes that are pretty easy, and then some exams. The class isn't too hard as long as you pay attention
Professor Adams was always so laid back and made the more difficult to understand material really clear. She used lots of examples and her tests are clear. Decided to take another psych class next year so I could have her again!
Professor Adams is super funny and nice. She makes her lectures fun by engaging with the class and telling stories as examples. Only one paper to write in the class and she tells you exactly what she's looking for.
I fell back in this class due to personal reasons but besides that she was very caring and understanding. She also gave plenty of chances for extra credit on randoms days if you came to class.
Professor Adams is a very nice and easygoing instructor. Most exams were online and the lectures were not awful, with a lot of the material available online before class. I would recommend reading from the textbook as it does help. There is also some extra credit given for showing up in some classes. If you study and take good notes it is not bad.
She gives extra credit at random for attending class so I recommend attending class everyday. She posts all notes, but leaves parts out that are only offered in person during lecture. Assigns one research paper worth 50 points. My class had exams online with open notes, which helped especially if you filled out the review sheet. Great Professor!
I loved Professor Adams! Was very sweet and explained topics during lectures very well! All exams are online for this course and the only homework is the written paper assignment and the launchpad assignments. Make sure you do your SONA hours but very easy class and would definitely take a class with her again if I took another psychology class.
I took her for the spring semester and the exams are open note and everything she talks about in her lectures are on the exams. The exams are online as well. She also does occasional extra credit attendance points!!
Her examples were personal and funny, which made me actually care about the class. She awards extra credit randomly throughout the semester along with a couple extra credit questions on the exams. Exams are super easy because they are open book and open note. The essay is easy because she provides a clear instructions and outline.
I loved Adams. I didn't do much work in this class and received a B. Would retake her again.
She is a great professor but it's a course with lots of information for just 16 weeks. She's always talking and gives us real life examples of what she's teaching, especially examples of her children. She has one final essay with clear instructions and gives you the layout/outline. I took her Psych 201 on spring 2023 and we had our exams online.
She was nice. Her class was fairly easy and I never had any issues. I think I've said maybe three words to her during the entire semester. You have to get 6 hours of research participation credits or else your grade drops a letter. Overall, an easy class with a nice professor.
Instructor Adams lectured notes that were mostly accessible outside of class. She thoroughly answered questions. Although she doesn't require participation for in class discussions, Instructor Adams involves the experiences of students and shares personal anecdotes. I've spoken to her face to face. She is very resourceful and kind.
This professor is very lenient. incredibly informative. Shows a lot of care and engagement with her students. Many extra credit opportunities, and allows you a lot of assistance with assignments.
She is a very good professor and loves to talk. She has many good stories and likes to engage with her students. And a lot of the things that she goes over in class are on her exams so take notes
I loved Mrs. Adams. I received a 79.6% in the class. Had I shown up to class a few more times, I would've passed due to her giving random participation credit. The days I did go her lectures were entertaining and she really engages everyone. I would definitely take a class with her again
She's one of my favorite psych professors. Although I didnt attend class much due to changing my major I was still able to keep up on my own and manage an A in the class.
Professor Adams made this course understandable through her lectures and smaller assignments (7 in total) for someone who was having trouble understanding the vast world of majoring in psychology. There is a cumulative final exam but if you take good notes and come to class, you should be fine. Sometimes will also offer bonus attendance points.
Instructor Adams was nice and she kept the class very interesting. She shares many stories about what she has experienced in her profession which helps with understanding. I found this course relatively easy. The only thing that was a little challenging was the paper but if you follow the instructions you will do just fine.
Instructor Adams was phenomenal! I enjoyed her class so much that I almost switched my major to psychology. She tells engaging stories during her lectures that help you understand the material. She is also super kind and funny and is responsive to her students. Tests are all online, and all other work has clear guidelines. I would 100% recommend!
I loved instructor Adams so much! Although I wasn't the biggest fan of psychology, she made the class more enjoyable by providing examples and not just reading straight from the lecture. Exams are online and easy.The final was not cumulative and also online. Attendance is not mandatory, but I would recommend going because she offered extra credit.
Amazing instructor! TAKE her!! She is so sweet and class is very well organized. You get emails every Monday with a reminder of everything that you need to know. Great lectures, attendance not mandatory but she does randomly give extra credit for attendance.
She is not a bad teacher by any means, but during the 101 class I took she somehow had the ability to make anyone with a disorder (particularly phobias) feel uncomfortable during class. If you will not be uncomfortable with a professor who is willing to make an example out of your or other's phobias or disorders, I would otherwise recomend her.
This professor is always a great one if you can take her, I have had her three times and without fail, have always gotten good grades. For this course it consists of two multiple-choice exams, a weekly discussion board, and a weekly assignment which could be a small paper to a few pages. There is also a final project but it is not bad. Take her.
