Fun, witty, smart, and wears good perfume. Nothing like I expected. Very thorough and good. 3 exams, 4 assignments, fair grading. Assignment #4 is, "What grade do you deserve". Attending class, and speaking up are some of the criteria. Lowest grade gets tossed, even if it's the final exam.

GREAT PROFESSOR!!! She is super nice and interesting. She is one of my favorite. Class is not hard after you get passed the first test. Four test and four assignments make up your grade. One test is open book and one is an opinion. She is an awesome teacher and really cares about her subject.

Was not particularly good at sticking to her own review when designing test questions. Tests on material she doesn't cover in class and her lecture notes are nebulous at best. You're on your own is her---little help if you need it and she refuses to go over her tests in class: "Do that on your own time in my office." Isn't the goal to learn?

Her eloquence and professionalism are unparalleled; she has an earnest desire to see success from her students and it shows in every lecture. Her classes are rarely difficult, not because she makes it impossible to fail, but because she makes it near impossible to misunderstand. I recommend her class to anyone.

I took her online class and it was extremely boring and her exams are very hard.

This professor was amazing. She will always treat you like the adult that you are.If you take notes, your grade will be an A. If you show up late or make excuses for your absences, she will put you on extinction. One of the best professors I've had - love her!

Dr. Ervin's hybrid class consists of 4 exams, 8 case studies, and a written final. The class was easy and straightforward. However, it is a very lecture-heavy psychology course and lectures do not cover all the questions on the exams. It was occasionally difficult to reach Dr. Ervin outside of class but she was helpful during posted office hours.

Honestly, I had to teach myself the entire class. It was an online class, I never had a lecture or something to follow what we were supposed to learn. Her tests are confusing. It was extremely hard trying to contact her. Wouldn't take her class again.

We were supposed to have class M/W but she never showed up on Wednesdays. So on Mondays she would give good lectures but once we got to the tests it had nothing to do with the lectures. I have all the notes and never missed a day but that didn't help on the tests. Then I tried emailing her but she never answered until the end of the semester.

Her lectures were really interesting, and I learned a lot from her despite the class lasting only 8-weeks! I wish the class would have been a bit longer because I enjoyed it immensely! :(

She was amazing!! The class was so easy. you can write notes or not it really doesn't matter because the tests aren't proctored so you can look everything up. She often talked about her life and cool things she's done which was the most interesting part of the class. This is an easy A! p.s. she takes you on field trips.

She was a very unfair grader and she barely gave any extra credits I literally cried because of her she was the worst professor I could have had.

Professor Ervin was an okay teacher. Her workload is very easy, everything is online even the textbook so you don't have to pay for it but you do have to read it to get the information. Her discussion boards are very simple and won't take much time but make sure to turn them in on time, she won't reopen things up.

The lectures are interesting. She is nice and very knowledgeable about psychology. The tests are long and have a lot of information. My advise is to pay attention in class and write everything that has been discussed in class. You will do short discussions posts. You will have the opportunity to go on a field trip.

Ms. Ervin, is a good teacher. I would recommend you to take notes definitely look over your notes, and be present in class and participate. I wouldn't recommend to take this class with a science course if you take this class on the same day as your science class. There will be tests and discussion boards. Be sure to study!

I personally enjoyed listening to Dr. Ervin's lectures and she made it fun to learn psychology. I will say that the tests were a little hard but paying attention in class and studying goes a long way. The discussion boards were easy as well. Loved this professor's class! I like that the textbook is free as well.

I received a B after 8 discussion questions, 5 tests. Final Exam does NOT have review. Do NOT miss a single assignment, she will take in NO late work, extra credit is due on march- it doesn't give students an opportunity for assignments missed. Doesnt accept explanations for anything! I enjoyed her Lectures but she doesn't care about her students

LOVED this class! As someone who struggles in school, it was super easy. I took it as a blended class with weekly assignments that took 30 minutes or less. We only had about 3 tests, all online—including the final—and they were so easy. She's engaging, really cares about her students, and makes learning enjoyable.
