Took it online, overall she's good, but the subject itself is challenging. Weekly discussions, 5 page paper, 4 or 5 "quizzes", which are really tests. The tests were difficult because they come from the publisher. You MUST read the book and her notes if you plan to do well. Extra credit opportunities. I'd take her again! Very interesting material!

Bio Psych, Hybrid: Thinking I should have just taken online. Dr. Babb is cool and she obviously knows her stuff, but she went through lecture very quickly and basically just read straight off of Powerpoint. Her slides were out of order and she would jump around so it was easy to get lost. Weekly online discussions were easy, tests were HARD. Study!

Just do the discussions every week and respond and meet the 400 words and 100 word response. didn't buy the book just think. She's a good professor and kept sending reminders and gave feedback. other than that easy A

She's a pretty decent teacher. All of her assignments are added up for points. Don't miss one of the large assignments for 50 points because it will add up. There was a powerpoint and paper due which weren't too bad. The tests are timed. 50 questions for 50 minutes and the time does fly by.

Do not miss any assignments! There was only 1 paper due for 50 points and it makes a big difference in your final grade. Tests are timed. 50 questions with 50 minutes. 10 discussions with 2 responses. Did not have to cite the book which was great.

not horrible work, but the exams are difficult, and a lot of information to read for each exam. I have all A's and this was my only class I hope to get a c, best case scenerio is a c+ due to the exams. they are lock browser with video monitoring. 1 minute for each question. I am not good at rushing for each question either.

I chose this class based on the reviews and I was blown away at how inaccurate it was. She makes you use a webcam and responds, no extra credit, tough grader and cuts no slack what so ever. The material was extremely hard and the tests were hard. Got an A on the paper, but bombed every test. Would never take again.

Worst professor I've ever taken. Took her last fall. Had stuff going on that prevented me from submitting assignment and she offers no sympathy. Webcam for the exams which is WTF. Fair grader but lacks sympathy. Discussions are interesting. Must respond to 2 classmates. Only one paper. 3 exams. The major downfall from her is not emphasizing. Avoid

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. She only gave us 45 mins to complete 50 questions while saying that it's "open book" I studied my heart out, made quizlets, memorized the textbook, and took detailed notes.

She gave great feedback on her discussions and if you answer all of the questions you get all of the points. Really enjoyed it and highly recommend this professor!

I took this course over the summer and the professor is strict about her assignments. However, you can easily do well in class as long as you do all your assignments in time and follow the rubric. The course moves very quick; I planned poorly which resulted my average being between a C and a B. Despite her rigidness, she offers positive feedback!

Horrible insight, given; this teacher either has a bias or just doesn't want to make the time for some students. As a professor, it's paramount to understand that no two students learn the same way. If you want a teacher who cares, don't take her; she has a bias towards certain students. I'll leave it at that.
