She's great. She makes you learn, keeps you interested, and is willing to help.

Interesting teacher, although she will definitely make you earn your grade...no matter what it is

Great teacher! She knows her stuff and makes you think. Her tests are easy as long as you study for them, and she is always willing to help.

No, she's not easy... but aren't there enough uneducated folks in psychology? Do yourself a favor, take a course from Dr. Andersen and learn something. After grad school and a year in the field, I still use my methods notes from her course. A++++

Yes, she's tough, but she's not as impossible as some of these reviews make her out to be. She's also very fair and reasonable, amazingly engaging and entertaining, and passionate about what she teaches.

I think Dr. Andersen is a great professor. Sure her tests are difficult, but that is just in comparison to all the other easy classes at FGCU. I thought she kept class interesting. I'd reccommend her if you're interested in getting a real education!

She is an excellent professor, she makes you actually learn the material. Not to mention, she keeps classes interesting. She is always late to class though.

She was a hard teacher & was rude to students. Tests were hard but she obviously wants students to learn the material.

I loved her class! She is an awesome teacher!!!

I love Stacey. But she doesn't teach a Mickey Mouse Course. You better be ready to study and read!

Shes AWSOME! she is laid back and obviously loves her job.

She just skips around a lot

I loved her! The only crappy thing? 3 exams and thats your grade folks!

She was pretty difficult, but class was interesting. Make sure to study hard for all of her exams.... entire class is based on just 3 exams (at least that's how it was when I took it 3 years ago).

If you take good lecture notes and actually read each chapter and take your own notes off of them, you will do fine. Believe it or not, she is not that difficult or unreasonable. That aside she is also very interested in the course and as a lecturer is very attention holding and down to earth- excellent class.

Heard horrible things about her in gen psych but when i had her for human sexuality she was nice and enjoyed teaching. I would take her for human sex but not gen psych.

She knows what she is talking about and she really seems to love it. She is unorganized, but I learned A LOT from the class. I think the way she taught the class made it interesting because she really emphasised on what happens in our daily lives. It's very important to read the book.

Had her for methods and she was awesome! I now teach methods and many of the things that she did are part of my repetoire. She is much better than the ratings here suggest, she just does not "give" good grades, she makes people earn them. Guess some folks don't like that. But if you want to LEARN, she's a great teacher

She is a great teacher.Knows subject, makes herself clear, explains everything very well. Funny! Always jokes around!Tests are hard but if you study you will be fine. It is not an easy class, and it helps if you love psychology. Overall, you learn a lot about life. Taking her again for other class.(There is no final, only 4 exams).

She does a lecture that has a strong correlation to the book. She gives you a study guide. Never spoke to her outside of class. She is quite the character. Carries a giant mug filed with sprite, sucks on a nicotine stick while she speaks, and has a rag to wipe her sweat on. Class got canceled a few times. Once because her car was on fire...

She is a very interesting lady but you can tell she really has a strong passion for the subject. She's very helpful and her lectures are interesting. Her class was only based on 4 tests so it's pretty important to attend each class. The test are hard but you have to study and I suggest getting the study guide book because that helped a lot!! :)

She's an interesting person but the class is difficult. the lectures are long. wouldn't have her as a teacher again. she gives you notes for the test. goes along with book. get the study guide too. class is canceled often. she loves the subject.

pretty straight forward. there is alot of information to learn and it needs to be memorized. so there is alot of studying involved. info not covered in class that's in the book is fair game in exams. but extra credit opportunity is available. NO CELL PHONES!

Extremely challenging professor. The tests cover the subject matter, however they are application based and extremely subjective. You absolutely must read the textbook and know the key terms. Even then, I found it hard to get an A.

EXTREMELYYYY difficult. However if you study the book and go to the lectures and take in-depth notes you will do fine. I studied hard and got an A!

She is AMAZING!!! She's extremely funny and makes class super interesting! You'll actually find yourself wanting to pay attention during class and having fun. Plus the class is SUPER EASY!!! There are only 4 tests... and for each test 2 chapters. NOT ACUMLATIVE either. other teachers make u do 3 chapters per test and its super hard

She's a really good teacher!!! Don't listen to anyone else who makes fun of her they're just judgemental. She's really funny and makes the class fun n interesting. I hated psych in high school and because of her class I love it now

I have also had her for PSY 2012, and she is a wonderful professor. Her tests are difficult, yes, but they are 100% based on the text. If you have not read any of the material, you will do poorly. Providing you read the material, the tests are just a matter of recalling what you've read. She is very knowledgable. And SOP 2770 is a great class!

Take this class! Dr. Andersen is really interesting and leads really great discussions. You're expected to read the chapter on your own and then watch a video about it in class. If you're planning on slacking, think twice about taking this because if you don't read the chapters, You WILL FAIL the exam. It's 100% out of the book.

One of my favorite professors. Class isn't difficult at all so long as you put a little study time in before each of the exams. no HW or class assignments. Really interesting class

Amazing professor. makes things easy to understand. very blunt and straightforward but compassionate. She will bend over backwards to help you out if you ask her. 4 exams not cumulative heavy use of text and lecture. does not except excuses at all

Professor was pretty good. As long as you read the material and take the quizzes and tests, you should have no problems with this professor. She is opinionated and not as tactful as other professors, but I believe she does her job well in that she is here to bestow her expertise of course material upon the students.

Don't listen to all the lazy complainers. She is an excellent teacher that understands the material. She's super funny and keeps things interesting. She is also always willing to help. Get the study guide and put in some quality tim studying and you will do fine.

She is not a horrible teacher, but her class is tough. As long as you go to the lectures, get the handouts, do the study guide tests, and actually open the textbook you should do fine. Her only 4 grades are exams, so I hope you are a good test taker. She's funny and will explain anything you are confused about.

AMAZING! She makes boring lessons fun. She's hilarious!

Anderson was a great psych teacher, she was animated and make the lectures fun, she was also very helpful to me after class if I had any questions, I would recommend her

She's a little quirky but overall a good professor.

Amazing professor. Her classes are really interesting and she makes it fun. She's really motivated and shows us many example to make her point clear. She answers any and all questions and her exams are not extremely difficult. I look forward to attending her class although she does not take attendance

Kept class interesting. Class had a lot of work, but if you go to class, take notes, and do the assignments, its an easy A.

Class is EXTREMELY easy. The lectures in class, and sections from book correlate. You just have to make sure you really understand the subject matter and not just know vocabulary words. Definitely an easy A and the class was interesting!

General Psychology is an interesting class and takes work but with the online assignments and lectures, Dr. Andersen gives, the class is definitely bearable.

awesome teacher, easy class!

The course has minimal assignments, you get quiz points just for reading the chapter, shes clear and concise with her lectures, and even lets you out early. The tests do require critical thinking, ie. actual understanding and then applying the knowledge to the test. Overall great class and easy if youre willing to try.

Great Professor! Makes the material very easy to comprehend. Class never lasts the entire time, if you pay attention and your homework there's no way you will fail.

Great professor really enjoyed the class. Plus she is funny!

i never showed up to class, did all the homework and studied the notes that she gave us to print out and read the chapter, ended up with a B+. Tests arent too hard as long as you understand the material.

On the first day of class she is quite intimidating. But don't let that fool you. She is the BEST psych teacher I've ever had. Not an easy A but if you glance over the chapters in the book, pay attention during lectures, do the homework, and UNDERSTAND everything, it's near impossible to receive less than a B. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her.

Best teacher I have ever had. As long as you are clear on the material you will succeed. Pay attention in class and read and understand the textbook and you will do great. She is involved, loves her students, and is interested in what she is teaching. I would recommend her to everyone!

Great teacher. Really enjoyed the class. I had no interest before taking it but she is extremely well prepared and passionate about it. Take this class if you can!

Makes class very interesting. She has guest speakers come in, makes group in-class projects, and shows interesting movies/ videos. Definitely not an easy class but its worth taking

For those individuals who find this course tough.... Get out of town. You are some stupid business major freshman. If you don't get an A in the class, you have must've not read the book and did the assignments.... Essentially you gave no effort. GREAT PROFESSOR - READ THE BOOK FOLKS

I actually don't understand why she has such a mediocre score on here. She keeps class interesting with funny stories and walks around with no shoes on almost every class. Read the book and you'll do fine. But if you don't go to class don't expect an "A." Make sure you take good notes and study hard for her tests and you should pass with "B" or up

She makes lectures really interesting. She does tell you upfront that if you don't do the connect assignments, read the chapter, or attend class, you will fail. She does make lectures really funny and makes them worthwhile. Her tests aren't that hard if you study over your notes, handouts, and book chapter. She puts a lot into class.

Its a pretty easy class even if you don't show up for lectures. Only homework is the read and do an easy online assignment once a week. She makes her lectures very interesting and loves to use sex jokes. Also probably the hottest teacher at fgcu

I am also surprised by her grade. She is great. I took her twice and didn't pass the second class but it wasn't due to her; it was my being unhappy with the material. I still respect her immensely.

She is very passionate about teaching this class, and expresses that her sole purpose is to help you learn, pass and enjoy the class. She canceled a bunch of classes during my semester with her, but was very fair to when assignments were due. She keeps class very interesting and I highly recommend her as a professor and this course as a gen ed.

I took Human Sexuality with her my sophomore year, and although it was extremely difficult due to her grading and testing style, I thought her classes were really interesting. She uses a lot of videos, but also incorporates guest lecturers. Be prepared for difficult grading but also be ready to learn a LOT.

Overall, Dr. Andersen was completely awesome, and I would take another class of hers in a heartbeat. However, the only grades she gave for general psych were tests, connect homework, and a research requirement. The latter 2 were really easy, but the tests really required a lot of studying.

Pretty easy class. There are only 4 tests, no quizzes, no final. The research requirement is easy and other than that the only assignment are the connects which are due the day of each test, and they help you study. Just study for her exams a day or two before and it's an easy A. Also take good notes an GO TO CLASS even though it's not mandatory.

She definitely knows her stuff and it shows in her lectures. I fell asleep a few times (only because I took her early 3 hour class block) but taking this course with her as a freshman re-taught me how to take notes. My recommendation, re-type your notes in a format that's easy to read because the homework takes a toll on you. Not way hard, but long

This was an 8am class so if you are not a morning person don't take it. You will study about 4 or 5 hours a week or you will not pass, must show up for every class, she gives quizzes before every class on reading assignments, you want to get good grades on the quizzes because her tests are hard, but I learned much about research and the labwaseasy

Had her for research methods after this class, that class was harder than this one. You must take this class! She is more fun and relaxed than the research class. No textbooks required The whole grade is dependent on one lecture you give about anything related to sex. You must prepare for your speech and give a good presentation. No tests!Funclass

Despite the ratings I had this professor for 3 classes . She is a fair professor . Reading of the book is required. She takes her time to explain things.

At first she may seem very difficult but as long as you do the connect activities and study the night before you will do fine. Her lectures definitely help and she gives good real life examples on many things.

The class itself is difficult. She lectures without any aide so be sure to read the chapter she assigns (bc you'll have a quiz on it) and you will do fine. There are 3 exams, 10 quizzes, and 1 research paper that makes your grade. Not too hard if you put in the effort to study! She's in class super early if you need to meet with her too.

Professor Andersen was a really good professor! Attendance isnt mandatory but suggested. Her lectures were good and we got out of class early almost every time. The final research paper is pretty simple and she helps you with it a lot so you don't cram to get it done the last minute. Overall good class and professor!

Dr. Andersen was a great introduction to Psych for me. From day one I got the impression that she enjoyed what she teaches and wants her students to feel the same way too. As for work it was all online chapter reading and answering questions. As long as you did it before the next exam you got full credit. Overall would highly recommend!

Professor Andersen was a great professor. She always explained topics thoroughly during lectures. Make sure to do the reading and the connect assignments, they help tremendously on the test. Although it is a long lecture, go to the lecture and stay because some information she teaches is not covered in the textbook or on the connect assignment.

Dr. Andersen was a great professor. Her lectures are not as boring as some other reviews are saying. She did a couple Jeopardy review games for extra credit on the exam. There is a lot of reading for the course, and the Connect assignments take a few hours (you can split it up over a few days) so plan accordingly.

Exams are weighted heavily. Boring lectures. A lot of time consuming homework.

Dr. Andersen's psych course LOT of reading and homework, but as long as you complete the homework assignments on time you receive full credit. You will compete for up to 10 points of extra credit for each exam. Attendance is imperative. Under Dr. Andersen's instruction, it's a straightforward class that is easy to succeed in if you apply yourself.

2nd time taking this prof for Psy. I've noticed her curriculum is designed for both her and us to have an easy, laid-back semester. Plenty of extra credit. Teaching style makes class feel extremely light since she uses programs like InQuizitive. You just have to be able to direct yourself in a course and manage your time. Would take 100 times over.
