Gen. Psych can be a tough class and she can be tough and unlikable in it. However, if you talk to her one on one she is much more friendly and open. Knows her stuff well though.

She's a brilliant woman, who is stuck teaching a class to a bunch of intro students- most of whom don't really want to be there. Lecture material is a bit dry, but when you speak to her privately, she's extremely helpful and clear.

very good teacher but she doesnt pay attention to the balcony... she teaches alot of students that dont want to be in psych 113 but have to be there for gen ed requirements.

she is a great teacher who knows what she is talking about

Su Bo-Ho is so nice, and very very interesting. Her class is also WICKED easy if ou just GO and take notes. Shes a great teacher and the class is awesome.

she's ok, but I think she has a hearing problem, like she hears things that aren't there. If I had a dollar for every time she has said "quiet in the balcony" I would be rich! And I don't know about you guys, but I never hear anything in the bal

didnt go to class and still got an A

She is a fair teacher and if you do well on the quizzes you are exempt from taking the final.

Really nice woman. Is really clueless, and kind of flaky, however, if you go to class, take the notes, actually listen to the lecture, and do a little reading.. then it's an easy A.

Prof. Boatright is a good teacher, study notes from class to do well on quizzes. Sometimes random things from the book are on the quiz.

TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, go to rec. Lecture is VERY boring. But it's fun to go and make fun of her rotating outfits.

Extrememly boring and broad class, but what can you expect from a general psychology class? Plus, it's easy. Don't let it turn you off from psychology all together, the classes after this one are much more interesting and this just happens to be a prerequisite.

This class isnt that bad..she gives alot of extra credit opportunities and if you do well enough on the quizzes in rec. than you are exempt from the final! the class is easy, lecture is boring but it helps alot to go and get the notes

She tends to be condescending to students and hard core into her teaching. You have a lot of material and not a lot of time to learn everything. Her tests are not easy, but are do-able. She herself, I find, to be nice when you get to know her, but comes off as rude and uninterested in students.

took this class during my first semester at URI. did not plan on majoring in Psych. but did so after taking this class with Prof. Btwrtght. She suggested that we consider 'double majoring' which I did end up doing and which was very advantageous to my career options--more choice. loved her class--challenging and interesting.

overall bad teacher

be prepared to hear shhhh quiet down now. every single lecture. Shes nice, very organized, knows what shes talking about. You don't have to read the textbook in detail, just skim it and you;ll be fine, her lectures pretty much explain everything.

She was a good teacher

So I never went to class and I got 90's on all the quizzes. That may be due to the fact that I had an excellent TA (Kristen W.) that told us exactly what was on the quizzes. Definitely attend all recitations.

She is not that bad of a professor as some people have rated her. If you go to class and to the recitation then you should be fine. The only thing I was not fond of was the size of the class, but other then that it was not bad at all.

i loved sue. really good teacher although she only gives you power point presentations. class size is huge, so attendance isnt important. does have exemptions from finals but you have to have a 90 quiz average. even if you dont have a 90 quiz average you can still have an A but she will not exempt you from the final which is crap.

My suggestion--although the class size is well over 900, GO TO CLASS!! most of the quizzes and such are on the lectures and it makes your life that much easier if you just go. She will exempt you from the final if you average a 90. SOOO NICE TO BE EXEMPT :)

Class is boring, but all material covered is on the quizzes. If you have a 90 quiz average then you are exempt from the final exam! You dont have to read teh book but it does help. Be sure to check out her suits that are always different shades of grey, and sometimes she mixes in her sparkly red belt. She is loud so everyone can hear, even the deaf

She really is not as bad as everyone on here makes her to be. I found her to be extremely approachable whenever I had any questions. She is a very nice lady, and her voice is not that bad. If you pay attention to class and use the study guide on webct, you should not have any problem passing. Definitely not as bad as everyone says.

She is definitely not as bad as people make out her to be. She's very nice, passionate about her subject, and always gives you opportunities for extra credit and easy assignments. She makes it very easy for you to get exempt from the final, as long as you go to do the reading, and study for the quizzes.

I'm a psych major but I didn't particularly care for this class. Besides the fact that it was 800+ people, the quizzes were unreasonable. I did well on the first few and studied hard for the last ones but still failed. It's hard to pay attention in class with so many people and so many notes.

Go to class, take the notes, and skim through the book, and you should be fine. Definitly don't slack on the studying for quizzes or you won't pass. Overall, easy teacher and class.

she is a good, clear teacher. her TAs suck. the questions on the quizzes are hard, but her exam is easy.

Easy Easy class. Did not make it regularly to class. Lectures had a tendency to be boring, but TAKE GOOD NOTES. All quizzes and exams are directly from the notes, barely from the book, and you can be exempt from the final. TA's are kind of blah, but always willing to help. Did i mention it was an EASY class!

Class in extremely easy. Take notes and study from them for the quizzes. Make sure you get the rubric for the papers and follow the requirements to the letter and should be a very easy A. Also final exemption for those who have an A average.

lectures are unnecessary; you can get notes from a friend; just make sure you show up to recitations. i had a good ta who prepared the class very well on the quizzes. easy class. just spend a little time studying; easy a

Good teacher she knows her stuff, if you go to the lectures take good notes, go to recitation you'll def get an A, plus gives alot of bonus points, 2 papers two pages each not hard, take this class!

Recitation is the only necessary class to go to for quizzes and they usually clear up everything better. Just listen and study the lecture notes from the power points and it's an easy a

Amazing professor, makes her subjects really interesting. Her classes are lectures where attendance is not taken, and if you do her power points are online! Only 6 quizzes throughout the whole semester of PSY113 and if you get 80 of the 90 total questions right you're exempt from the final!

She could be a better professor and she tried new teaching tools this semester like the Self-Assessment which was not really helpful in preparing for the Quizzes the PIA's and Psych Adventures were easy and she gave plenty of Extra Credit assignments to make up for bad quiz grades but her TA's are horrible and you can't rely on them at all.

Really nice professor but lectures are rather boring. Professor Boatright is extremely helpful and truely cares about her students. She gives tons of opportunities for her students to make up lost PIA points and gives a lot of extra credit. Take psych113 if your looking to full-fill a gen ed requirement.

Easiest class. Just show up to recitations, where they tell you exactly what is going to be on the exams. Exempt from the final if you get an A in the course. Don't waste your money buying the book, we never used it unless you like teaching yourself. Never showed up to class and ended up with a B+.

Very good teacher. though classes can be rather boring at times. But most of the time she at least tries to relate it to the class. She also cares a lot about what you have to say, very good teacher to have discussion with about the class topic after class.

She is very friendly, always says Hii to me because I sit in the front row, I was so worried I was going failed this class so far passing with a B I enjoy being in class, can be quite boring but its okie, TAKE THIS!

I Dont like how we dont learn things and recitation and class that are on the quizzes! my TA tells me what will be on the quiz but there's always more! go to lecture because you don't really learn everything in recitation.

I found Prof. Boatright so helpful and sincere. She seriously helped me plan for my future better than anyone else I have met at URI. She seriously wants everyone to succeed and to get the truth concerning how to get there. I would recommend her. Get to know her besides in psy113.

She's really good at explaining things. People who say the quizzes are hard is because they didn't study. Going to class really helps. Her lectures are really broad so it's important to take good notes

This course is a very easy and general course. The class is so large that very few people attend every class but she posts every slide show online along with any notes and guides you may need. As long as you put in the effort to study the given material, it's an easy A.

sue is an awsome teacher you have to study for the quizes but they are not hard and she give extra credit oportunites alot at the end of the semester. shes awsome take this class

I never used the textbook and I still got mainly 90's and 100's on the quizzes. The class did not help me but the recitations did, so go to those! Do the extra credit, it will help you.

very nice lady. class was easy for me because i took AP psych. i rarely attended class and got an A. if you havent taken psych before just go to class and you should get a very good grade

Honestly, Psych 113 with her was A JOKE. Anyone who gives her a negative review either A- Didn't go to class or B- Didn't study. You won't want to go to lecture but go anyway, its not that boring, and study your notes and recitation notes for the quizzes. They change the quizzes every sem. now so don't look for old ones. Easy A.

Boatright is fantastic. I loved listening to her lectures, just make sure you read the book, study, and go to the recitations and you'll do really well.

I love this professor she is so helpful and nice. Whenever I have a question she always helps. She's cool in class. the material is easy if you pay attention go to class and even skim the book.

Overall I liked Dr. Boatright. She was very passionate and interested in what she had to teach and tried to make it interesting. Recitation was helpful and you are given a lot of chances to keep your grade up with projects and constant quizzes. I thought she was easy to understand and very straightforward.

Class can get boring and make you want to sleep. Very understanding that you have other classes and homework. Usually lets class out early only ten minutes or so. Tries hard to make the boring topics interesting. Gives extra credit. Not much work is assigned. Quizzes are easy if you review the material.

Her lectures are kind of boring but she is a nice person and obviously has a passion for what she does. I wouldn't take the class again but it was an easy a if you go to the lectures. The quizzes are frequent but they are too difficult if you review before them. There a couple of homework assignments that are annoying but not difficult at all.

She always gets a bad rap but she is an amazing professor. She is there for you and actually wants you to pass. She gives plenty of extra credit and if you get a 90 average on all of her quizzes you are exempt from the final. Finally a professor that is there for you and wants you to excel.

Give lots of extra credit opportunities BUT don't let that fool you .. YOU WILL NEED THEM! The actual professor is very detailed and presents it in a way that is easy to understand. BUT that stuff doesn't matter because most of her TA's are terrible and not a lot from the lecture is on the quizzes. READ THE TEXT BOOK, THATS WHERE MOST INFO IS FROM!

This class was straight-forward. Reading the textbook will help but you can pass without it. If you do well all semester you will be exempt from the final exam.

This class is so easy. Take notes in class, study them, and you will do great on the quizzes. The quizzes are 20 questions each, and the they are straightforward and easy.

Boatright is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches in her lectures. She gives a quiz just about every week on the material (10 MC questions) which are very easy if you pay attention in class and take decent notes. I did not buy the book, haven't used it. Her TA Kelsey is the best. Would recommend to take this class for an easy A

She is an amazing advisor, you can just call her up anytime and she'll answer all your questions!

The quizzes are easy as long as you go to class and pay attention. She is really nice and wants you to do well. If you have a 90 quiz average you're exempt from the final with an A, and she offers extra credit. Great professor, really easy if you pay attention.

Professor Boatright's class was honestly one of my favorites. The way she lectures is very clear, and you can tell she is very passionate about the subject. The material presented in class is fascinating and all relevant to the quizzes. Make sure come to class and study your notes, and you'll do great!

Su is a really intellectual lecturer and runs her course on a tight rope. Very smart and willing to help any students who are in need. Pay close attention in lecture, and read the book when she reminds you to. Other than that, easy A.

I am a psych major so this class was helpful. She talks about careers that pertain to each unit so I figured out what my interests are. Read the textbook or you won't pass the quizzes. A few units were boring but she knows that they are so she tries to make them more interesting. You can be exempt from the final if you have an A for the quizzes.

Sue was by far one of my overall favorite professors that i've had. She is clearly knowledgable on the material and gives many details which to some may seem like rambling, but I actually learned a lot of valuable things from her. If you are a Psychology major (like myself), I highly recommend taking her class.

Taking this class was easy as long as you went to class and put in effort to take some notes. She is thorough about everything and makes it clear what you'll have to know, as well as providing study aides for each quiz. She is happy to help and so are her TAs. Sue is awesome and someone who will help point you in the right direction.

My class is very large so we have recitations where TAs teach, some are good some are bad, but the schedule is flexible. She is a fair professor and tells you exactly what to expect. Her notes are clear, just go to class, and quizzes are somewhat fair, sometimes stray from class information, but overall I am happy with her class.

Overall I didnt mind this class, but it could be extremely painful to sit through at times. Professor Boatright tells you everything you need know for quizzes that you take during the recitation, and some of the things she mentions are very interesting. Easy A if you show up and take notes.

Guys, this is a very easy class. Go to class and write what's on the slides. That's it. The 2 papers you write can easily be done in an hour, and they are graded extremely easy. I don't even think the TAs read them, just follow the rubric and you'll get a 100. Study a little for quizzes, get a 90 overall, and be exempt from the final with an A

10 quizzes and if you get a 90% average you're exempted from the final. Tons of detail in lectures so take notes, she doesn't go over everything so look at the study aids on sakai and look up terms you don't know instead of buying the book.

PSY 113. This is a broad class and by nature boring. She does her best to get through the material. Every week in recitation there is a quiz and if you average a 90 or above are exempt from the final. Put in the work for those quizzes and this is an easy a. No attendance taken too.

Solid 3.5 here. Easy class, but go to lecture or you wont get notes (doesnt post on Sakai). TAs amazing. Criticism: many complaints (by TAs too) about unclear question could contain two possible answers problems on quizzes. Attendance not graded. Dont waste $ on textbook (unless you plan on not going to class).

Guys, this is a VERY easy class. The three PiA's can be completed within 20 minutes, the two papers take about 90 minutes each, and if you study for about 30 minutes for each quiz you will at least get a 9/10. There are also numerous extra credit opportunities. Attend each lecture, get 90 points on your quizzes, and you bypass the final with an A.

There is 0 reason to struggle in this class. The ten quizzes are a joke if you actually study for them, the two papers are guaranteed 100s if you follow the rubric and there are numerous extra credit opportunities, which only take like 10 minutes each. Get 90 points on the quizes (including extra credit), and you are exempt from the final with an A

10 quizzes in recitation, if you get a 9/10 average you're exempt from the final with an A (and there are extra credit points you can add to those), no midterm, show up and take acceptable notes and you don't have to do much other work.

Reviews for quizzes, quizzes are 10 questions and she asks stuff from the book sometimes. You could probably pass without the textbook but if you actually want a good grade in the class you should read the book to study

PSY113 is SO EASY. There are 10-question quizzes in recitation every week based on the week's lectures and a few homework assignments every now and then but that's it. If you have an A average on your quizzes you don't take the final. There is also no midterm. The material is basic and easy to understand. Solid choice!

She is a good professor who thoroughly explains all parts of general psychology that she will quiz you on. There are weekly quizzes in recitation but if you attend the. the lecture they are easy to pass. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities to help your quiz grades increase.

Very good with explanations!

Class is very easy and lectures are good if you can pay attention to it and take good notes. Homework is super easy. She cares about her students how were feeling on that day.

Definitely lecture heaven but I think they are interesting so they arnt that bad. Quiz every friday but unlimited time and can use notes. If you stay on top of everything its an easy A and you dont have to take final if you have above a 90. def recommend taking with her.

This class is extremely easy as long as you are on top of everything. Grading is very clear and you will always know what to expect. The professor is a caring and intelligent woman, and I'm not a psych major, but I thought the lectures were pretty interesting. The textbook is not really necessary imo.

Very easy! Prof goes over quiz questions at the end of class. Quiz questions are easy theres no need for studying. If you have an A for every quiz and handed in every assignment, you get automatic A and exempt from final. The graders are very lenient. I didn't have all A's on every quiz and still was exempt and got A.

one of the easiest classes I've taken. I barely went the class in person and the online lectures are identical to in person. If you write down everything she says during lectures in your notes the class is an easy A
