Mrs. Coday does a great job teaching Human Sexuality. Class was both interesting and fun. She was always willing to answer questions. She gave study guides for midterms and finals. She went over test questions before each test. I recommend her.

Coday was an amazing teacher. She always made her lectures very interesting and was very willing to help anyone. If you ever get a chance to take one of her classes, definitely do it!
A very good teacher. She knows everything about what she is teaching, and is very eager to help. If you have the slightest interest in Psychology, Coday is the one to take a class from. If you are eager to work, you will get an A, easily. Plenty of extra credit opportunities. Take a class from her!
She is very nice! Overall a very fun class.
Coday is a wonderful teacher. Her lectures are lucid and well organized. She's extremely approachable. The homework assignments are a breeze if you just apply yourself. The homeworks and study guides cover everything on her exams and quizes without anything left out. Highly Recommend!!
Very fun class. Extremely nice lady and eager to assist in anyway that she can in anyway possible. Knowledgable in her field. She is not afraid learn right with you. Also encourages class learning from real life experiences.
Coday is a really easy, fun teacher, she goes over test questions with you, is very energetic in her lectures, and keeps the class moving. Its not boring at all, and shes very approachable. Definetely recomend
Mrs. Coday was a really fun teacher, she keeps the class moving so it does not get boring. She covers most of the test material in the lectures so if you come to class and read you have a good chance of getting a A. She also gives extra credit! Great teacher, I highly recommend her!
very nice, likes to make sure everyone understands the concepts and always in a good mood.
She is the most wonderful teacher!Her lectures are very interesting and you will learn a lot.Homework is easy and there's not much of it.In order to get an A you need to pay attention in class and read the text.She comes out of her way to make sure that you understand the material.Very nice and approachable.I strongly recommend her!
Easy class
Stephanie is a wonderful teacher. You will do well in her class as long as you read. She likes when students are able to engage in discussion. Her work isn't overly hard, and her enthusiasm is great. I would strongly recommend her to anyone, psych enthusiast or not.
She was one of the best teachers I ever had! One of maybe four teachers in all of my years of schooling that actually got me to listen and get interested in the subject matter.
Great teacher, wants everyone to enjoy the class. Cares if the class is enjoying the material and pushes you to participate.
She was very interesting, and nice. She made the class fun, and entertaining. She never mad me feel awkward talking about sex with strangers...very nice totally recommend

she is wonderful. answered every question we throw at her. if u want a fun learning experience take her.
AWESOME teacher!!
Awesome teacher, awesome class, highly recommended! Anything you need to know about sex, ask her! haha!

She ROCKS. She is very educated and will tell you anything you've ever wanted to know about sex. I've had her for two classes, and wish she taught more! Homework assignments are rare and easy. Tests are a little long, and you've got to pay attention to what she teaches (easy), and then you'll do fine on her tests.
Very good teacher. As long as you pay attention, it's really easy. Gives a lot of extra credit. The best class I have ever taken.
This is an interesting class. Great lectures, however, do not take this class for an easy A. This is not AN EASY CLASS BY ANY MEANS. Stephanie's test are very detailed. She offers a lot of extra credit - she has great guest speakers. I am telling you her test are very detailed. Really.
Stephanie was a really good teacher! Her lesson plans are very structured and engaging. I always felt like she really enjoyed being there and helping us learn.
An excellent class taught by an experienced teacher. Read the modules listed in syllabus. Take good notes and study you’ll get an A. You can’t miss any classes or you’ll miss a lot of vital information. She really knows her subject and she makes sure you get it too. I recommend her to all at least once!
awesome teacher, very interesting class
THE BEST TEACHER EVER. Take her. She is amazing on how she teaches and makes it really interesting.The tests are hard but if you study hard you will do good.
such a good teacher and very helpful too....
awsum teacher, nothin but good things to say about her, i totaly recomend her class to everyone
fantastic teacher made things interesting for a morning class. always funny when nothing is sacred with a teacher, talking about stuff you joke with your buddies, in the middle of class. fun class I would suggest taking it whether or not you need the credits.
Great teacher! She really wants you to learn and will do whatever it takes to make sure you do. NOT a class where you can just memorize facts - everything is applied so you really have to understand the material. This is the best psych class I have taken so far.
Professor Coday is so passionate about psychology. She is very thorough and clear which makes exams easy. She is easy to understand and is reasonable. She is a wonderful teacher. I highly recommend her.
Professor Coday is an amazing teacher! Her class is great. She does a fantastic job making sure her class understands what is being taught. She answers all questions, in depth, gives us great assignments and in class activities, and, she provides a lot of handouts and outlines which I find very helpful! Plus, she makes everything interesting!!!
Very awesome, fun classes. Very very helpful, passionate, and clear. Plus, she's super pretty and has a very sweet voice. She is the best!
This is the best teacher I have ever had. I took her for psych 30 and for 1 and I loved her. She makes the class so fun and interesting. The classes are not easy, and theres a lot of work, but if you do it its an easy A. I wish I could have her for every class! Anyone need psych 1 take her!! You will love her.
Great teacher was a very fun class
shes awesome! she is really open and teaches you a lot! i love her class!
Awesome teacher. Took her class a few summers ago and learned a lot. It was pretty fun. Oh, she's very smart and hot.
You have to be a****not to do well in her classes. She gives you an outline, study guides, and enough extra credit that you can basically do nothing and still get a decent grade. Way too easy and boring. If you want an easy grade take with her, otherwise take with someone else if you want to feel really challenged. Yoshizumi or Taylor for sure.
she's way good. completely knows what she's talking about! very very informative class. kinda grosses you out. ha, it's a great class i learned a lot and she's a really really good teacher! not a lot of homework, a take home worksheet at the end of each chapter. she's cool. i loved the class.
great class! really like her teaching style and how clear she is! wish i could take all my psych classes with her!
Ms. Coday was my first professor and I couldn't have picked a better one. She made college interesting, challenging, FUN and worth going to. She is the most awesome, approachable, clear, and informative professor yet. I never got bored or missed a class.
If you don't come to class or procrastinate, it's hard. She is very understanding but very straight forward. I absolutely loved her teaching style and I would another class offered by her in a heartbeat. Her quizes and tests are difficult but she does what she possibly can to make sure you know and comprehend the material.
I agree her course wasn't challenging enough.It was a let down that all we had to do was partially pay attention and complete homework that a monkey could do,not to mention the absurd amount of EC.Way too easy,no wonder people like it.If you're interested in the subject and want a challenge take someone else.Want to be lazy and get an A,this is it.
Incredible teacher! Knows her stuff and makes class fun! Quizzes and tests are a little hard but if you study you will do fine! I love her! TRULY!
Mrs. Coday is a prime example of the quality professor a student seeks for in college. She is very compassionate about her material, professional, funny, light hearted, and a very "insightful" person. She gives back more than students ever put into class. For psychology, take her for sure. You will be challenged, but she is a very fair teacher.
Stephanie is an excellent teacher. She loves group discussion and has lots of interesting activities that make the class even more fun then it already is! Even though the class is pretty easy you still learn a lot from her. Definately recommend taking her if you have the opportunity =)
Coday is awesome! Her class is actually a semi-hard class I looked forward to. Her examples come from real patients she works with and her personality is great. Favorite class by far!
Mrs. Coday is a great professor. She wants everyone in class to do well. As long as you show up for class and study, you will be fine. I learned a lot from this class. Mrs. Coday made the class and information interesting. Definitely take her for psychology.
Stephanie Coday was the best teacher I ever had at Sierra College! Her class is SO interesting and entertaining. I TRULY learned a lot...truly. OK OK amazing teacher!
We need more professors like Coday at Sierra College. We have too many incompetent instructors as it is. She is extremely helpful and quick to respond to e-mails. Easy A and very knowledegeable. Take her for Psych. You'll learn without being bored.
GREAT TEACHER!!! I had her for intro to psych summer 06, she is one of those extremely organized teachers that actually uses a syllabus and sticks to it exactly. she makes sure we actually use the textbook after paying for it.many interesting discussions, but u dont have to participate if u aren't outspoken. tests are in the same wording as notes.
Professor Coday is beautiful on the inside and the outside. She is one of the most friendly people I've ever known!! Her class is always so fun, she gets people involved so they will understand the material. She assigns small assignments throughout the semester, and they help you apply what you learn from the text. I highly recommend her classes!:D
This professor was the best I have ever had. She was extremely helpful, fun, and entertaining. I STRONGLY recommend her as both a teacher and for the class. Not a lot of homework, easy tests if you go to class and study.
I really liked Coday. The class was uncomfortable in the beginning but she made everyone comfortable. I recommend her very highly!!!
Stephanie is a good teacher. She knows her stuff, but you need to pay attention and study for the quizes and exams. Hardly any homework. A good amount of extra credit.
She was awesome! This was a human sexuality class and barely anyone is comfortable talking about sex stuff but she made us feel so comfortable. She taught with professionalism and we all had a great time.
OH COME ON PEOPLE!! all of these comments prove my hypothesis that most sierra college students are immature and idiotic. She ruins a very interesting subject by treating us like we're in high school. Class activities, active socializing, group poster presentations..geez. It's a very easy class, but it's agonizing b/c this is supposed to be college
She cared more about students that all of my graduate studies professors combined. She may be teaching at a community college but she delivers university caliber concern for her students' success and well-being. She's great!
GREAT! i love her class. i have learned lots. take her!
She was GREAT!! she gave lots of chances for extra credit...lets the students choose how to run the class...absolutely amazing! I want to take another class of hers... :) I would recommend you to take her class..IT IS VERY FUN. she keeps you interested and keeps you WANTING to come to class. finals are easy study your prior hw and you will pass!!!
I almost changed my major due to her making Psych. interesting and fun to learn. Make sure you attend class, especially during the summer session.
Professor Coday was a Great teacher. I always looked forward to attending her class and she made learning about the brain, drugs, conditioning, and emotions very fun. Highly Recommended to take her class
Best teacher at sierra.Extremely fun and interesting class.Don't take this if you think it's going to be a breeze because you have to study.Tons of extra credit avail.VERY in-touch with the world.Makes great use of Blackboard.Great communication, will e-mail back in less than 24 hours.This class should be required for all Sierra College Students!!!
Fantastic Professor! Stephanie's class is clearly organized, fun, and relevant. She has a lot of enthusiasm and a great sense of humor, and gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit and is consistent about maintaining an updated grade sheet so you always know how you're doing in class. I wish she were teaching all my classes!
Greatest teacher EVER!!!! you will not regret taking her class. Make it to class, and just listen and you will pass. Her tests are ok, but she is well informed and is great at making her points very clear. Uses real life examples of when she worked at a psych hospt or something of that sort. Fantastic. Best teacher ever!
WOW! what a great class! Human Sexuality should be mandatory! so much great information and an awesome teacher to give it to you! I highly reccomend taking Coday. My favorite teacher so far at Sierra!
Professor Coday makes learning enjoyable...not like learning about sex needs help being interesting. She's very easy to keep up with and she's great at explaining things in depth if you don't understand. She doesn't take any kind of late work though, which is the one major downside of the class. But overall a great experience!
SHE IS AMAZING!!!!! if you are interested in psychology or just want to take a fun class i recommend her. Pay attention in class and take notes, read the modules, study and its an easy a :) lectures are helpful....very approachable....1 project, 4 multiple choice tests, and lots of extra credit assignments....FUN CLASS
she is an amazing teacher that relates to every one of her students. by the second week she knew everyone's names. her work is easy, like a high school class, but you still learn a lot.
awesome teacher. she makes everything interesting.
Amazing teacher! Had her for human sexuality and its my favorite class ive ever taken. Even the boring stuff is interesting. It is mostly lecture but its interesting stuff. I HIGHLY recommend her, you wont regret it!
VERY GOOD TEACHER. I loved this class when i took it. her class was fun partly because of the things we learned and because of how open everyone was. how she teaches is by powerpoint with a bunch of visuals. and she also has a lot of open discussion. the tests are really easy because they are practically from out notes. i DEFINITELY recommend her.
Stephanie is a GREAT teacher. She cares about her students and is willing to help you if you ask her. She makes the more difficult material easier to understand and is a really fun teacher to have. Her tests are pretty easy as long as you study and pay attention in class. I would definitely recommend her.
Awesome instructor and interesting class. Though there is a lot of information, its very easy to learn and of course, interesting as well! I think I finished class with over 100%... do the extra credit!!!
She gives you a syllabus with the whole semester planned out so you can get everything done the first week and have little to worry about. She definitely expects everyone to share something in class, and if you don't, that's the only way you could fail... well, also if you don't pay attention. But it's hard not to pay attention.
Human Sexuality. Stephaine is very friendly and extremely open-minded. She allows plenty of commentary from students and has wonderful lectures. By far and easily my favorite class (and not just because it's about sex). Outside speakers come too and have interesting subjects. Tests: fairly simple, straight forward. No homework. EC available.
She is AMAZING. So helpful in anything you need and she is always willing to work with you if there is something going on. She makes a packet of her power point notes so you always know what is happening. As long as you go to class, you will pass. I took her other psych classes too because i liked her so much and they were just as great!
Stephanie is a great teacher! She loves to teach and its so obvious bc she really cares! Very fun&informative class! There is only a couple quizzes/midterm/final! I bought the book but you dont really need it if u take good notes and buy power point packet! Take Steph!!!
Took her online class. Unlike earlier post, weekly quizzes are difficult, but open note. Coday also covers questions with you if you ask. Great discussion boards but a lot of work. Fun assignments. Have to work for your grade but overall great teacher and class.
Professor Coday is a sweet lady. I had her for human sexuality. She is very liberal and grades that way. If you are not pro gay, i recommend you dont take her class. Other than that, very easy and such a nice teacher. She loves questions and will help out with whatever you need.
I took her human sexuality class, she knows the topic very well and her lectures are clear and very interesting. She doesn't like slackers though I couldn't fall asleep if I tried in her class. She is very liberal though to my knowledge she never graded me down on anti-liberal views. She is very good at teaching and makes the class fun.
LOVED HER CLASS! Assignments, projects, lectures were all fun! She keeps you interested and you will never want to miss a class!
If you want an A, you have to work for it and EARN it. Just do the reading and the homework/test will be a piece of cake. She is very open minded & accepting of everyone regardless of race/color/orientation etc. She does NOT impose her opinions on others. Has a great sense of humor, teaches well and not to mention, pretty cute. Her classes are FUN
Proffessor Coday is a really good teacher. I learned so much from her class. Her tests are rather difficult. Even though I studied and showed up to class everytime, I still had trouble getting the grade I wanted. She was really entertaining though. I would recomend her.
I took her online Psych class on sexuality. The class was very open and the teacher did a good job of making everyone comfortable. Class was interesting, teacher was easy to work with and very helpful
Best psychology teacher ever! She makes sure you understand everything and keeps the class fun! She is an amazing teacher. There are 4 tests and 1 project but it's easy. You need to study for the tests, it's not all definitions. She uses real world examples to make sure you understand. There is extra credit. Can't wait for Human Sexuality!
I had her for human sexuality and she was truly amazing! She made me feel so comfortable about who I am. I would take her again and again if I could she is the dictionary of sexuality and always has fun and exciting lectures! Take her class you won't have any regrets!
I absolutely love Stephanie!! i had her for Psych 100 last semester and Psych 130 this semester. She is an amazing teacher, and I highly recommend her classes! You have to do the work and study for the tests to pass her class, but she makes it easy to stay involved and keeps you on track! Loved both her classes.
Pay attention (she talks a mile a minute), attend class (be on time), follow syllabus and you'll find her an awesome professor!
Took her online Human Sexuality course and LOVED IT! She is very organized, very passionate about her teaching, and very clear. Even though it was an online course, I felt that she was always in contact with the class. I learned so much about sexuality, prejudice, and about myself. It is a great class, and I would recommend everybody taking it!
Stephanie is awesome and you'll like her class. Don't be embarrassed, go in with an open mind and remember it's sexuality, so there is little that most of your classmates won't be able to relate to! Have fun :)
TAKE HUMAN SEXUALITY WITH HER! She is amazing. She is very good at creating a comfortable, open atmosphere. Make sure you read the text, attend class and STUDY for the tests and you should get an A. And don't be afraid to participate. I think everyone should take this class. I learned so much and would take it again in a heart beat! :)
Learned a lot from her, but flt uncomfortable. I take her online Human Sexuality class - I'm an open person, but wanting to know my sexual fantasties and details about my sex life is just a bit too weird for a teacher to ask me.
Best teacher ever! She makes the classroom comfortable even during the awkward conversations. She offers a lot of EC and tests are easy as long as you know the study guide.
Very helpful and informative. She really went out of her way to give the class extra information which was greatly appreciated. I wish I could take another class with her.
She is the absolute BEST at Sierra College. I have never had a better professor. I love love love her. I wish I could have her be the professor for all of my classes!
Fantastic professor. Clear, honest, friendly, firm and easy going prof. She encourages students to do their best, and she will help you with anything anytime. Highly recommend. You need to do your work to do well, but she helps you along the way. I'm a better student due to her.
This class was definitely my favorite class EVER! Stephanie was a FANTASTIC teacher and I learned so much through this class. She was funny and I loved going to class.
Amazing teacher. Easy A if you pay attention and read the book at least if the parts you are too familiar with.
She is a wonderful teacher however, she doesn't always communicate what she wants from you. I passed all tests and assignments but I received a C in the class because of attendance even with explanations.
Professor Coday is an amazing teacher!!! She uses a variety of teaching techniques to accommodate different learning styles. I took her for psychology in person and Human Sexuality online. Both courses were very organized, engaging, and taught me so much. I highly recommend this professor!!!
She is super helpful if you have questions or clarification. Definitely read over the text and lecture slide before taking the test! She offers some extra credit, other then that I loved the class!
Awkward class, but that's the nature of Human Sexuality. She made the topics interesting. She says she doesn't give out extra credit, but I had a bunch of opportunities this semester. She's really nice and helpful, we use the book every week. 4 "reaction papers," 2 are optional for extra credit; they're easy! Tests are hard but no final/midterm
Stephanie is great! Her lectures are sometimes sidetracked due to questions that come up in class so you MUST do the reading! If you do the reading and STUDY you will get an A. There is a quiz (20 questions) after each chapter, a mid-term, and a final. If you don't study for these, you will fail! She also 15 points of extra credit!
Very helpful teacher. If you email her she'll answer the same day. Lectures were interesting. You can only miss 3 classes then she starts taking off participation points after. MUST read the textbook before quizzes. Not at all an easy A but you can do well if you read the book, go to class and do the easy assignments
LOVE STEPHANIE. One of those instructors you'll never forget about. So passionate about what she does.
class was terrible
Professor Coday is my favorite teacher and is awesome! She wants you to succeed. She has great detailed powerpoint lectures and all is covered in the reading. She makes this class very fun and has a great attitude.
Professor Coday was one of the best teachers ive had! Dont come into this class thinking its going to be a piece of cake, you HAVE to read the chapter every week and take the online quiz. The quizzes were probably what got me a C in this class. But, Stephanie is a sweet, funny lady and I recommened her for everyone!
She is an AMAZING teacher! I took her Human Sexuality class and I would definitely take it again. The in class lectures are always interesting and fun. She wants you to pass so she will answer any questions you have. If you have the chance to take her class go for it! You won't regret it!
This was my all time favorite class! Stephanie is a great teacher but it is not an easy class! There are quizzes every Sunday, a midterm and a final. She gives plenty of extra credit to help you pass so take advantage of it! Her classes are always interesting and fun! I recommend this class to everyone!
It is essential to read the textbook thoroughly & know the material very well. She gives out four tests throughout the semester which are pretty much your grade in the class, & which only 3 or 4 in the class ever get an A on. Most students get B's or C's. You have to be very dedicated to get an A in the class.
Stephanie was really interactive and would answer any questions you had, in fact she encouraged you to ask many. She let you have a 3x5 note card on all tests, INCLUDING the final, which was so helpful. Overall a spectacular teacher, I would highly recommend her to anyone. Best class I've taken at Sierra, not an easy A though.
stephanie is one of the nicest teachers I have ever had. She is very clear in her lectures so you know what to study for the test. However, if you do not study for the tests, you most likely won't do well because they are harder than you think. Few homework assignments, and only 4 tests. I would take her class again!
Stephanie is the best teacher hands down. Took her for Psych100 and loved her so I took her for psych130 .Not an easy A! Expect to work for your grade. Lectures cover a lot what your tested on but I highly recommend reading each chapter in the book, sometimes test questions are directly from textbook. Hardly any homework!
Stephanie is AMAZING! This class definitely isn't an easy A but if you follow along in your course pack and read then you will do fine! Weekly online open book quizzes but don't expect to not read and be able to finish in time. She is amazing, there for you if you need to talk, and really passionate. I wish I could take this class again!
Probably one of the best courses I have ever taken and one of the best professors I have ever had. Her lectures are amazing and the class is easy, all you have to do is show up and participate. I think everyone needs to take Human Sexuality at some point, you learn so much and it's fun!!!
Excellent teacher! I became a psychology major because of this amazing teacher!
Love this class. Professor Coday is an Amazing teacher and really makes the class interesting and fun. There are weekly quizzes that are really tough but just make sure you do the chapter outlines and you'll be okay!!! Only two test, midterm and final but there easy thanks to the helpful study guide SO MAKE SURE YOU DO IT. Great class.
The online class is largely discussion based. Quizzes are straightforward, most of the questions are straight out of the textbook. This is definitely a class I recommend that everyone takes before graduation, you'll learn a lot from Prof. Coday and as long as you do the readings and discussions it's an easy A.
Best class I took during my 2 years at Sierra. Weekly Quizzes which aren't to difficult and prepare you for the major tests. Lectures are enjoyable and Stephanie prepares you for any test or quiz. Offers plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Easy reading. Just pay attention in class and read a little and you can easily get an A.
Amazing Professor! Loved this class. So fun and interesting, its a class you look forward to attending. Weekly quizzes (open note), just make sure you outline the chapters. Questions are soley from the book. 2 tests midterm and final, but she prepares you, just do the study guides! I'm so sad the semester came to an end, definitely recommend.
Great Professor! Very approachable and cares for students who try. Don't be afraid to speak up. This class is meant for sharing your own ideas. However, do not expect an easy A. You will need book. Read chapters for online quizzes and exams. Offers extra credit. Very open and enjoys student participation. A great class as long as you are open :)
Professor Coday is very beautiful, loving, and caring. Her grading instructions are clear and you have to work for an A. Her lectures are very fun and engaging. She's open to questions, gives study guides before tests, and lets you use a note card for the tests. I suggest you read the book, listen to her lectures, and ask questions.

If she could be my teacher for every subject that I take at Sierra College, I wouldn't dread going to school every day.
Stephanie is very good instructor. She very passionate about what she's lecturing about and wants you to be able to absorb the material. The Human Sexuality class is taught from a "sex for fun" perspective. Students are encouraged to ask questions about the different course subjects being taught. Not only is she knowledgeable, but fun to look at.
Such an awesome person. Easy class if you show up. If you get the book use it for the online quizzes!
One of the best instructors! If you ask a question she won't give you the answer right away, she makes you think about it, which will help you retain the information. If you have a problem outside of the classroom she will be more than willing to listen and help. Take notes from her lectures & answer the study guide questions you'll Ace the tests!
Excellent prof! Stephanie is clearly passionate about the subject matter and she has the skills to effectively teach it. The class is not as easy as you might think and a couple missed or bombed assignments can derail your grade target (+_+) but if you're confident you can stay on top of things, I'd recommend taking this class.
Took human sexuality over the summer with Professor Coday. Thought I would enjoy it way more than I did. Didn't learn much about psychology of sexuality, but rather history and current social issues involving it. Got an A, but she makes you work for it even if the material is not difficult.
I really loved Stephanie's class! She's sophisticated, confident and caring. Her lectures are always interesting, never fell asleep in her class even once. She asks for 20 question online quizzes to be done before midnight every Sunday; hilarious, hands-on in-class assignments. Not an Easy A, but if you pay attention and keep up class goes smoothly
Super fun class! Stephanie is so engaging, her lectures are never boring! Make sure you do the quizzes (read the chapters!) and study for the tests. They are pretty easy, but don't take it too lightly-- study the vocab! You do need to participate a little bit, she does understand that some people are shy or anxious, but try to talk a few times.
great teacher. learned a lot about psychology and she taught the material great. everything on the tests are exactly what you discuss in class. 4 big exams(easy, and get a note card to use during test), little-to-no homework. Super nice and great teacher!
She is extremely organized which passes on to you as a student. All of the assignments, study guides, and requirements are online. She makes her class interesting. Tests are application of the definition rather than the definition itself. You have to use your brain. Very intellectually stimulating. So glad I took her class.
I loved Stephanie, she's so liberal and open minded it's amazing. She promotes acceptance and tolerance, as well as making everyone feel normal and included in society. She's very easy to talk to, her assignments are fair and interesting, she's funny, and easily answers any weird sexy question. Take her and you will love it!
Professor Coday is probably one of the best professors I have ever met. Her grading criteria is very clear and updates grades on canvas frequently so you know what your standing is in class. She provides supplemental materials that are very helpful in class and creates interesting discussions to keep the class engaged. I would take her class again!
If you are even THINKING about taking this class, just do it and take it with this teacher! Come into this class with an open mind and your horizons will be expanded. Stephanie Coday teaches this course the way it needs to be taught. She is arguably my favorite teacher here at Sierra College. Take her class and you will not regret it!
Love love love her! What an amazing gal. Definitely take her! Class is eye-opening and entertaining. She keeps you wanting more. One online quiz on every chapter & then you have a midterm on what you've learned so far and then a final on everything you learned after the midterm. Lots of options for extra credit. A real gem. Love her.
Stephanie exceeded my expectations for her Human Sex course. I enjoyed coming to class every day and learned so much useful information. Just come to class open minded and have fun, it's really a once in a lifetime course. Her exams are definitely lecture heavy so I didn't use my textbook as much, but the text can still be helpful to some.
Professor Coday is amazing! For an online class, it was incredibly structured and she gives great instructions on what she's looking for. She makes the class very entertaining and gives you some pretty interesting knowledge! I would definitely take the class again! She's an amazing teacher!
Stephanie Coday (pronounced Cody not Co-day) is an awesome Psychology professor! She provides great lectures, gives easy homework that actually helps you on the test, and provides extra credit opportunities. Very nice and intelligent professor. Knows what she's talking about. 10/10 would recommend and take again!
I took her online human sexuality class and it was easy. The only thing that wasn't easy was just doing the chapter readings. I hate reading long chapters. Other than that, she was great. Put in the work and you'll be fine. Its just doing the weekly chapter readings, weekly quizzes, weekly discussion board, and the other assignments she would add
Professor is super awesome. You get the grade you worked for.
Stephanie is passionate about what she teaches and about all of her students. She made Human Sexuality fun and educational. She taught me so many things that I will remember for the rest of my life. Would not recommend anyone other than Stephane! weekly online quizzes midterm+Final class projects (online + in class) extra credit
Her lectures are interesting and she is super nice
Great class very interesting in lectures. Great person who cares about what they are teaching and it shows. You can't sleep through or you won't pass.
Stephanie is an amazing teacher! If you have the opportunity to take her you should. If you come to class and pay attention you'll honestly learn so much. Not too much hw and weekly quizzes. Besides that her class is really fun.
Professor Corday is super nice and funny! Human sexuality is so much fun, and its a pretty easy A, as long as you pay attention to the lectures and enjoy the material, and with the subject, its hard not to! Very educational and helpful too!
I took her online class and shes very passionate about her subject matter. Unfortunately, shes not an effective online teacher, and she wanted it to be exactly like her physical classroom which doesnt really work online. About halfway through the class she sent out a really whiny email regarding lack of spirited discussion. Skip her online.
I didn't enjoy Stephanie's class very much. The copious amounts of work she assigns seemed unnecessary, even for a summer class. Multiple links, and this, and that, and you have to click here, then go here. It becomes irritating after awhile. She is one of those teachers that uses special programs and hyperlinks rather than just using canvas.
Very fun sexuality class! She is great at giving the info about sexuality that can be uncomfortable for some. She makes it easy and breaks the ice so it is fun and not so much of a "embarrassing" experience. I loved it and think everyone in the class did too!
Professor Coday made every class pretty fun. Her teaching style is very refreshing. If you do your work, you'll get the credit. Always do the extra credit! It really helps out in the end.
Steph is a good professor. she really makes you work for your grade. there is a lot of work each week but it's not that hard for instance there's a discussion every week along with two easy assignments, this long chapter reading review and a quiz. sometimes there are projects also due that week. I recommend her only if you love psych.
Coday feels more like a High School teacher than a professor. It's normal for her to call students out and tell them to put their phones away. Will lecture for the entire class, and doesn't allow you to discuss material with classmates, she wants you to directly ask her. Highly dislike this professor.
I absolutely love her! She's the sweetest teacher, but her tests can be hard. I'm taking another class with her.
I've taken her for a few different classes. I'd recommend her for Psych 100 but if you choose to take human sexuality with her, it's not as easy as it seems. She definitely cares about your success and being able to pass with an A but you really have to work for it. She's really straight forward and can be a little strict also.
LOVED her human sexuality class, just show up (which isn't hard to do because the class is actually enjoyable)... easy grade.. She says you need the book, I bought it and have never even used it. I would recommend this class to everyone if I could. She does take attendance, and it counts towards your grade.. easy points though.
Stephanie overall does a great job teaching the class but grades very hard on easy assignments. The class doesnt have a lot of homework so your grade is basically based off your tests, shes very understanding when it comes to things but makes the class harder than it needed to be to pass
A really tough grader, super heavy homework but my favorite professor at Sierra. Expectations are more than clear, she is inspirational and passionate, very articulate. Respected by all of her students. I really appreciated her demeanor and availability. Take extensive notes to help with quizzes.
Took her Human Sexuality class. By far my favorite professor at Sierra College.
Shes super amazing, and makes what would have been an awkward class fun and comfortable.
Pros: Excellent communicator. Responses quickly to emails. Takes awkward subjects and makes them fun. Grades timely. Cons: PowerPoints are like she threw confetti up into the air and wherever it lands is where it lands. Extremely hard to get an A. Quizzes are made to reduce cheating by not giving answers at the end, which also reduces learning.
(Required weekly readings of the chapter being covered) Amazing, brilliant, wonderful. I love Stephanie :)) She is super caring & is really knowledgable on the subject(s) Her lectures were fun (given the subject, it's perfect) & kept my interest. She helps whenever requested & is easy to talk to. One of my favorite professors so far !!
She gives thoughtful responses on DB's and puts in lots of effort to educate, but I found professor Coday overly wordy and overly rigid about exact due dates. This can be counter-productive to learning! Her syllabus was agonizing in its length and redundancy imo. If you are looking for a concise, reasonably flexible instructor, she's not for you.
I took this class during the COVID-19 quarantine so mid way through we had to switch to online. She was one of the nicest professors about it, always responded quickly. Quizzes are online due Sundays. You should read to get a good grade and some questions on the test are tricky, but her lectures are never boring. Would definitely recommend
I have taken two of Professor Coday's courses. I enjoyed Human Sexuality so much that I decided to take her General Psychology course too. The exam questions can be a little tricky but read the material and you should be fine. She allows plenty of time for exams and she offers some extra credit too. She keeps her students very informed!
Stephanie was truly an amazing Professor. She really cares about her students and is passionate about the material. She gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Her lectures are very entertaining and there are some really fun projects throughout the semester. Dont hesitate to take a class from her. She is amazing!
MY QUEEN! Prof Coday is the most genuine and caring teacher I've had in my life. Take her class! Participate & listen and you will get an A. Her teaching style is so relaxed but very informative and well done. She really cares about her students and their well being. Amazing class and amazing professor. I wish I had her for every class at Sierra
I took psych 100 with Stephanie during coronavirus so in the middle of the semester we had to switch from in-person to online. She handled the change very well and made a point to stay in touch with the students and did everything she could do help us succeed. She even opened up past assignments for those who missed them. I HIGHLY recommend her!!
Coday is an absolutely amazing professor. Our class began the semester as a physical, in-person class, and it was what I looked forward to most in my week. She is funny, considerate, and full of awesome info. Due to the crisis, we moved online, and while that posed some challenges, the class remained my favorite. Prepare to participate, it's good!
I took her online course this semester! She is a phenomenal educator and really trusts as we as encourages her students. Though I have never actually met her in person, I am very sad to be saying goodbye to her class. Its not easy to teach a class online but she does it very well! You rock Stephanie! <3 Craig
Professor Coday is extremely supportive and inspirational. I would say that her teaching style leans toward informal, but requires a high level of participation for achieving a good grade. The discussions are vital for this. You don't always have to agree with her point of view, but you do have to back your statements with evidence.
I took Stephanie's online course spring 2020 and absolutely loved it. She's very clear about grading criteria and assignments. Tests are open note and don't try to confuse you. She made a point to communicate deadlines and check in with class at least once a week. The textbook was interesting and the Smartbook was engaging. Overall a great teacher!
Stephanie really cares about her students' well-being and education. You must participate and be involved to perform well. No traditional midterm or final. Quizzes measure the understanding of topics, not just facts. Accepts differing views, but all perspectives require supporting evidence. Could elaborate more on lectures but solid professor.
I am 100% impressed with the level of patience and flexibility this professor has. She is nothing but KIND and to the point. She sends out weekly reminders about due dates, gives straightforward homework, and open book quizzes (still timed though). I don't know how she could get a bad review. Easy A if you just put in the necessary work.
She helped me discover my love for psychology!
Stephanie really encourages exploration & acceptance of the topics we often ignore in society. She teaches shamelessly &makes it fun as we tackle topics that can be intimidating alone. She creates a safe place for everyone and is truly there to support you in anything and brings in resources/group speakers that you'd never know about. Great class!
I loved Stephanie! She was so sweet and caring when it came to my mental health. She usually assigns about 3 hw assignments per week, a reading assignment that can take a little over an hour, a quiz and a discussion board per week. It may sound like a lot but its really not and the assignments really do help you learn the material! Very fun class!
Stephanie is the most encouraging and hilarious teacher I've had at Sierra so far! She is truly empathetic and made this class an absolute delight to be a part of. The lecture notes were very informative and engaging. Would ABSOLUTELY take more of Stepanie's class if she taught other psych classes beyond PSYC0100 and PSYC0130
ONE of the BEST PROFESSORS at Sierra College, I loved this professor so much from her communication, compassion, and thorough explanation I have taken both of her Psych classes at Sierra, loved them both. She always is quick to respond in email and always help when you ask. Thoughtful & does above and beyond for her students.
I took Stephanie's human sexuality class and it was amazing! (Yes, she prefers to be called by her first name) This was a great online class as the material was straightforward. Stephanie provides great feedback. There are some very personal assignments, but it was no problem as she is awesome at making the students feel comfortable, & understood.
Coday is a nice person, especially if you subscribe to the ideas she's teaching. Her class is very easy. Be honest and open.
So amazing! You will not regret taking her!!! I am planning on taking her human sexuality for fun this summer semester. Thanks Stephanie!!
Literally one of the best college professors Ive had so far. She goes above and beyond any teacher I have had. TONS of EC opportunities. She makes video and PowerPoint lectures to accommodate to learning styles. Always participated in the discussion boards and ACTUALLY GAVE FEEDBACK on assignments. Also brings in a guest speakers, PLEASE ATTEND!
Great Professor! Well structured online class. She is very accommodating. Most of the class's assignments can be found online for reference (quizlet), including the midterm and final.
Stephanie was genuinely considerate and understanding. Her lectures were easy to watch and the content of Human Sexuality was very interesting.
This was a good class just there were no video lectures which I like. Prof. gave the lecture in a PowerPoint and just accepted us to read through it. She is probably a little more personal in person, but overall I would take her again. No papers, just a few exams.
Human Sexuality with Professor Coday was great! I believe that this is an extremely important class that everyone should take at some point in their college education. This professor truly loves what she does and wants all of her students to succeed. The more effort that you put into this class, the more you get out of it! :)
It was an amazing experience learning under Prof. Stephanie Coday in Human Sexuality, she is so validating, trusted, and an amazing teacher. Her lectures were so informative and I even learned many new things about myself that make me feel more secure in myself. Everyone should take this class with her, especially if you think its not your thing.
She is one of the best at Sierra! Everyone should take human sexuality as the information is so valuable. This college course had the most impact on my real life. I was genuinely engaged and interested in the class. She is an incredible professor and handled the switch to online in spring 2020 incredibly. I wish we could have kept going to lecture
I loved taking her course! Passion for the topic and genuinely wants students to learn from the class. Very positive and clear weekly homepages. Multiple weekly DBs. Heads up- She asks very personal questions about students experience with the topic, but you can not answer. Some units are unsurprisingly very controversial, her opinions are clear.
Took her on-campus Psychology class, and she's been the best professor I've had! Very kind and understanding of problems. Easy work, and not too long of exams. Definitely recommend.
Would definitely recommend professor Coday to anyone! She seemed very genuinely caring about the subject and her students, and I really like how this class was structured! What she expected from assignments was always super clear, and if I ever had an issue her communication was awesome :)
I loved this Professor. She is amazing. You do have quizzes every week but they arent that bad if you study the lectures. Definitely recommend it was a pretty easy A
I wish she was my professor for every class. She is so caring towards her students and is very accommodating if you voice your concerns. There is a good amount of reading but there is not a lot of homework and it is the same every week including a discussion post, so you know exactly what to expect. I highly recommend her as she is the best!!!!
I enjoyed this class and I would recommend this teacher 9/10 understanding teacher and great class
I absolutely adore Stephanie. She is easily my favorite professor yet. She grades very fairly and allows multiple attempts on homework software. Quizzes are hard, but are worth just as much as a reading assignment. She gives such ample and descriptive feedback and truly helps you to learn. Ten out of ten. Register for her right away.
One of the best teachers I have had! Plus it has also been one of the best classes I have had. Truthfully just understand the material and do your work and you will pass this class with no worries!!!! Definitely do not hesitate to take this course with Stephanie!
I loved Stephanie as she was beyond incredible with how she went about teaching, creating participation, and making genuine connections with her students. I always felt welcomed and safe in her classroom along. Her homework load is quite a bit but it is VERY helpful in understanding the curriculum on tests. Take notes, DO THE SMARTBOOK, & have fun!
Super engaging with her students and really puts effort into class time.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Stephanie. Such a great educator and human being. She clearly cares about what she is teaching and about her students. You will learn so much in her class and grow as a human being if you put the work in. Stephanie is so supportive, caring, and knowledgeable. One of the best teachers I have ever had!
AMAZING! Take human sexuality, you won't regret it! She is so kind, accepting, and understanding. Her lectures are engaging and fun. She understands "life happens" and will work with you to help you succeed. She is always an email away and is willing to help support you both academically and personally. This the sex education the world needs!!
She made every topic comfortable/easy for everyone! She requires a textbook but we never used it, as her slideshows were always a million years long. As long as you're willing to put in class effort and take notes, this class is an easy A.
She is amazing and human sexuality is an amazing class because of her. She keeps the environment relaxed and informative. Make sure to take notes but all tests are online and you can use your notes so they're not hard if you're prepared. Also the lectures are online if you need to go back to them. Lots of discussion during class too.
EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL in this world should have the privilege to take a class with Stephanie Coday! The world would be a better place.
She is definitely there for her students. Do the work, engage in lecture, and she will support you as much as she can. She does expect you to work but do the work and you'll be fine. Maintain communication with her if you have life stuff happen, she will accommodate. Extra credit is given. TAKE NOTES!! I would most definitely take her class again.
One of the best teachers I've had so far. Super positive, really caring, and has a lot of heart for the subject and for the students. Would really recommend her!
All work is done on McGrawHill & you have unlimited tries (you can redo ur assignments until you get the score you want! One discussion post a week. Reading every week, two-three assignments, and 1 quiz a week (on McGrawHill). The professor is great! Honestly it seems like a lot, but if you are not a procrastinator, this class is an easy A.
I would highly recommend anyone and everyone at Sierra to take her Human Sexuality class, she always gives these super insightful and engaging lectures and the class is such a welcoming and safe environment for all. This class isn't even part of my major and it's without a doubt the best class I've taken at Sierra.
Even as an online only class, her care and knowledge really showed through. Reading and hw takes about 2 hours a week and you get 90 minutes for the 2 exams. There are weekly discussion boards, but they're really easy. Her feedback is clear and even though I never met her in person, I can tell that she really cares about her student's success.
Great Professor ! Very kind and understanding, would take again! :)
TAKE HER CLASS!! She is an outstanding professor and her lectures are fantastic! The work is intimidating but she is there to support you and guides you along the way. Take notes and ask questions. USE ALL THE printouts she gives you. Use the audiobook along with the textbook to help with the reading. DO THE READING BEFORE CLASS! Participate!!!
I was leery of this professor on day 1 bc her syllabus made her seem very type A. I ended up loving her organization, clear concise grading criteria, and extra credit opportunities. I never watched any of her lectures, just read the text and did the online homework and that helped me ace every quiz. Discussion board every week with clear rubric.
All the graded work is online, and the only thing we did in class was listen to lectures. Tended to avoid some of the more complex questions asked, but otherwise, Stephanie is great, cheery professor with a clear passion for educating.
I highly recommend taking Stephanie Coday. She is a fantastic teacher. Clear grading, caring, knowledgeable, and gives extra credit. I took her 8 week course which goes quick. Don't procrastinate, do your homework, participate, and you will get an A.
Prof. Coday was very engaging and was very clear on her expectations. There was a ton of reading and homework, but I took her 8 week course so it was all condensed. I'm sure if you take a 16 week course it wont be as time consuming. She offers a ton of extra credit which is super awesome and helpful. Overall, she is a great teacher!
Professor Coday made things very clear and easy to understand, with both instructions and course material. There is quite a bit of homework but it's manageable. I would recommend this class.
Prof. Coday is an engaging and passionate educator. Though the workload is heavy, she offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. Using Unstuckstudy ai alongside the textbook and lectures really helped me ace this class.
Professor Stephanie is an amazing teacher and lecturer. You will learn so much just by attending class and if you do your homework you will get the A you deserve. Love her dearly and am looking forward to taking her Human Sexuality class!
Stephanie helps her students get good grades. There's a lot of online work, but it's not too hard. Some students think there's too much work, but you should be fine if you set aside time for your assignments. Stephanie knows her students have lives outside of school and she's understanding. She'll help you if you ask.
Stephanie is an amazing professor and her lectures are easy to follow. The homework is easy if you pay attention. Papers do not require MLA format and there are very few of them required. Very non-judgmental and understanding. The only reason I got a C was because I didn't communicate when I needed extra time.
So much extra bs work, not worth
Professor Coday is truly an amazing professor. I had such a delight taking her Psych 100 class. She has the best canvas setup I've ever seen. It is so straightforward and clear. She is a very, very fair grader and very clear with what she wants. Please take her she is phenomenal and one of i
She's great: cares about her students, engaging lectures, and easy homework. at first I thought her class was gonna be so hard but it really wasn't. the only 2 things I didn't like were 1. having to do group work and 2. how time consuming the homework was (I take longer than most people but still, it took me 1-3 hrs on average.)
She's so sweet, genuinely cares about her students, and her class is relatively easy. The final and midterm are formatted weirdly but she's such a good professor that it was insignificant.
Professor Coday is honestly one of my favorite professors that I've had so far within my (almost) 2 years of being at Sierra College. She's definitely one of those professors that genuinely cares for her students, and will take the time and effort just to go the extra mile of helping you.
I would recommend that professor. Be ready to watch lectures and spend some time for multiple quizzes each week, but they had unlimited attempt which what I liked. Weekly discussions and quizzes and midterm/finals. She also offers extra credits.
Professor Coday is one of the best teachers I've had in a long time. She is warm, engaging, and genuinely made the class one I looked forward to. I actually had her for two courses in the same semester, and they were my favorite classes at that time. She really made my first ever semester of college a good one, and I highly recommend her courses.
I love Stephanie & her lectures. The reading and lectures may be long but they are so interesting. I feel like I am actually learning and love this class. Fast and fair grader. A lot of discussion posts where you have to diligently participate. Overall you do have to do a lots writing, but she is a great professor & she teaches such a cool subject!
Coday is an amazing professor, she really cares for her students and wants you to succeed. However be prepared for a TON of homework especially if you take her online class. Assignments will take you well over an hour so please put the time and effort to doing her work. The assignments are more tedious than hard but time management will help you!
I really loved Stephanie & her class. Her lectures are great, not boring & the activities always helped a lot with actually comprehending the info you're learning. Good amount of work, not too much not too little. I've taken both her classes & they're so fun. She is sweet & always helpful. You can tell she cares about her students. Would recommend.
Highly recommend Stephanie! She is super passionate and makes learning the material engaging and fun! She gives great feedback & lots of opportunities for extra credit. I felt like I had an average workload week to week, but she gives you a recommended format to ensure you get all your assignments done. Easy A if you participate & do all your work!
Genuinely passionate about the subject and wants the best for her students. Highly recommended.
Stephanie is so caring and an amazing professor. Her lectures were so helpful when learning more in depth about topics. There's weekly discussions, 2 exams, and 1 small project. All very doable and this class didn't take up most of my week besides the online reading we needed to do. I recommend :)
Stephanie is very nice and cares a lot about her students. She is assessable and very kind. There is a lot of busy work in this class (although to be expected because it is an online class) although none of it is that hard and she is very supportive throughout the marathon as she calls it! Very approachable and personable especially for online!
She is honestly one of the nicest professors at Sierra. You can tell she really wants you to succeed. This class had such a positive impact on me that I even decided to join the waitlist for another one of her classes. That's how meaningful and enjoyable this experience was. Future students are lucky to have her!
This is the best professor ever! I would like to take PSYC 0100 again! This class is amazing! Recommend it to you all!!!!
Insane amount of work.
The lectures are very clear and easy to follow along and the work load is realistic during a week. She gives note pages to fill out along with the lectures and we do lots of group discussion and work sheets. Was easy to finish work whilst taking other classes and having a busy job. (Took 16-week class in person)
Great teacher, made the class fun and interesting.
