Her class is very interesting and she is a very nice teacher.

She is a great professor. She chooses interesting topics and if you go to class and print out her notes you will do well on the tests. She shows intersting videos and is very helpful. I would recommend her for intro psych!

Her tests are straightforward and if you adequately prepare, you'll do fine. Really interesting class, and she's nice if you visit her office. You get extra credit opportunities as well. If you have to take psych, take her.

The class isn't hard if you read the chapters and prepare for tests. Her tests are straightfoward and cover the material in the book and what she teaches. Books are necessary! I never corresponded with her. No need. Like I said the book and her notes are sufficient to get an A.

She makes the class intresting and her presentation of the material is clear and straitforward, as are her tests.

Professor Hornstein is friendly and knowledgeable. Her lectures are vary from boring to fun depending on the day. She's not very precise so the material needs to be studied thoroughly. Her tests are difficult, but they pretty much match the material she covers in class. Many of the tests go over material not in the textbooks, so don't be absent!

She is a great professor who knows the material extremely well. Attendence is a must because exam questions also come from lecture notes and videos! She is not easy but if you try you will do well. I got an A-. I would recommend her highly in comparison to your other options!!

Sounds like a bunch of Freshman with the negative ratings of this professor. She is funny, smart, helpful and not too demanding. If you pay attn. and take decent notes you'll do fine. Plus she's kinda hot.

Professor Hornstein is great! Although every class is a lecture, she communicates the information clearly and interjects with personal examples! Very interesting! Class is pretty much a must since most of the questions on the exams come from the lectures! If you pay attention and look over the vocabulary in the chapters, this class is very easy!

She is one of the best professors I have had at SMU. Her tests are very hard, but her class is worth the time it takes to study for them. She makes everything intersting and she forces you to actually learn the material. I had to work very hard in her class just to get a B, but I want to take her again just because she is so amazing!

I loved this prof and the course! I talk about this class more than any class I have ever taken at SMU. Very interesting, useful information like how to study more effectively. Dr. Hornstein is clear, funny and helpful. Great overall experience.

very nice professor. tests are difficult but the class is very interesting. she is the best professor i have ever had at SMU.

AMAZING teacher! By far the best teacher I've had. Her enthusiasm of psychology is evident and makes the rest of the class a lot of fun!

great teacher! her exams are hard because it's all applied psychology, but if you study you should do well. there are 4 exams and is on the book and lecture notes (but mostly the book). the final is cumulative based solely on lecture notes, so if you dont go to class often, make sure you get the notes from somebody

Easiest class of my first 2 semesters. Just go to lecture then study for 20 mins before the test.. never got below a 90

She's very good at giving examples of content like suggesting movies with different psychological aspects.

such a great teacher, you should really go to class because the examples and explanations she does in class help a lot. her tests are hard but if you know the information you'll do fine.

Some of the comments like "she talks down to you" are not true at all. She makes sure you know the information and we always get into interesting discussions. She has some funny examples/experiments & even though I have her class MWF 4-5, i enjoy going to that class. it's really fun and if you get a chance, take her class!

Absolutely amazing! She uses powerpoints but she doesn't read off it like some professors. She has great examples and her lectures are interesting and interactive. I'm actually minoring in psych because of her. Take her, she's great.

She is a good professor. The only thing is that the exams are TOUGH. I went to a lot of the classes and studied a lot. They just happened to be really hard.

She's great

She's a really good professor and her class is pretty interesting. Attendance is never taken, but if you don't show up regularly, you won't do well- some of her test questions always end up being from lecture only. To do well on the tests, you need to use both your notes and the book; you can't just get by on memorization.

BEST TEACHER! I absolutely loved her class. She is interesting so you can actually stay awake in class. You'll get an A- if you study the class notes. A+ if you read the book.

Her class is extremely interesting for a big lecture class. She is really nice and as long as you read the chapters you should make an A in the class.

As losng as you do the reading and take some notes you should be fine. Attendance is not mandatory but helps to understand some material.

One of the best teachers on this campus. She is interesting and knows alot/cares about what she is talking about. Go to class even though its not required because it will help. Read the book too because there are questions from the reading on exams not mentioned in class. It won't be hard if you attend class and read. Great teacher.

Great teacher and easy class. Make sure you actually READ the textbook though. Test questions all come from the book and class lectures. Easy A if you keep up with the reading and lectures. Hornstein is really nice and makes material very interesting. I definitely recommend her!

80% of the Test comes from Lecture. Come to class everyday. No HW so not much time out of class is needed. Test covers quite a range of material, prepare at least 2~3days prior to the test. Easy test, just long. As for professor, hot.

TAKe. THIS. CLASS.

Hornstein is amazing! She is one of my favorite professors at SMU. Her lectures are engaging, and she actually does experiments or demonstrations in class. Tests have 50 questions that come from your notes and the book (usually definitions). The material is not difficult. Take this class!

Hornstein is a good lecturer and is really nice. Makes the class interesting. However, the tests ARE NOT EASY. She realizes people take this as an easy A and that a lot of people don't show up. Attendance and reading the textbook are both required to do well in the class. Only grades are tests, but extra credit is available.

I did not expect the first test to requiring as much styling as it did- didn't do well on it. Started studying harder and did much better on the next two exams. She drops your lowest score and does one small extra credit opportunity. Make sure you read the book and attend every class, but if you do, it isn't difficult. She's a wonderful teacher.

Very nice teacher. Cares about students and learns your name.

She's an awesome teacher. Her lectures are really interesting. Attendance is not mandatory, but taking good notes in class is a good way to get a good grade on the tests. Most of the information is in the textbook too.

LOVED her. Gives a lot of interesting examples and is very funny. 70% of the test is from lectures (so don't miss class), 30% from textbook.. read it. Not an easy A but it's so worth it!

Very interesting class, not that hard. Attendance isn't required, but go to class because that is 80% of the stuff on the test as long as you listen and take good notes. 5 exams, 1 drop, 50 mult. choice, 6-7 qs from book info. Copy and paste the outline from Blackboard into your notes so you don't have to copy it down during class.

Hornstein is the best. She's easily one of my favorite teachers here. Her class is difficult, but if you show up to class and put the work in an A is easily attainable.

Great Class she is very informative. You must take notes in class, Grades cover Test ONLY - 80% NOTES 20% Book

Best class I've taken. She the best. Her class is so interesting! Easy A if you take good notes

She's a great teacher. You have to go to class because she shows movie clips and uses specific examples and then asks questions about it on the test. Completely straight-forward. If you put in the time, you'll do really well. She also drops your lowest test grade. I really really liked her and her class

Perhaps one of my favorite teachers on campus. She is so helpful and her lectures are so clear and straight forward. Make a quizlet for this class and its an easy A. You do have to skim the book but mostly tests are based on class lectures. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY FOR PASSING. She posts the notes online but they are the BARE MINIMUM. love the class

This is a great class to take to fill a pillar. You do need to go to class and take good notes but if you do that then its an easy A. She makes the lectures clear and straight to the point and uses real life examples that help you remember the material when taking the test. Definitely take her class.

Very nice professor, she gives interesting lectures. There is no homework at all in the class, but you may want to read the textbook occasionally. Lectures are important! Her tests are 80% lectures, 20% book reading. The final was 100 multiple choice questions, and only 2 of those were from the book. Not a hard class but you will need to study.

Extremely hard class, its not as easy as you would think it is. You really have to put in alot of work and the multiple choice questions are very confusing and sometimes misleading. Don't take this class if you're looking for an easy A or easy B.

awesome teacher. she's super nice and the lectures are interesting. highly recumbent.

Excellent professor. Makes lectures interesting, easy to understand and applicable to students/real world. Textbook is very important, and be sure to buy the corresponding study guide. Tests are not easy and do cover a lot of material but there are no big surprises. Also, ATTENDANCE IS A MUST.

I love Hornstein. Her tests are prettty hard but her lectures keep you engaged. She is really funny and young which makes her relatable. Love her

Great teacher she makes the lectures very interesting. Tests are very hard though you will have to read the textbook and take notes to get a good grade.

Great class to fill a UC. She doesnt take attendance, but you should show up to class and take notes. A lot of her test is details about examples she has talked about in class. Do not rely solely on her notes she posts on Canvas bc you wont do well. Instead of reading the textbook just use the studyguide that comes with it. It will save you time!

Professor Hornstein is very nice and she gives very interesting lectures. She doesn't take attendance, but go to class because she goes over just about everything that will be on the test. There's no need to do any in depth reading, but some of the questions on the test she doesn't cover in class. Look at the vocab words for the reading.

Awesome teacher and extremely interesting class. You have to show up everyday to class as the test are from the lectures and textbook, and not everything is on the textbook. You have to study and know the material for the course.

Dr. Hornstein makes this class pretty easy, but you have to show up to the lectures as some of the things she tests on aren't in the notes. The grade is all exams. For the exams, look over your lecture notes and the vocab from the textbook, and you'll be fine.

She is a good lecturer and pretty interesting, but there are things she mentions briefly in class that are not in the book but on the exam. Also, she words her exams strangely so you could study forever and not get a 100 because of the weirdly worded questions. Only grades are exams and you have to take surveys for credit.

Really learned a lot in this class. Textbook is important. Heavy reading but I enjoyed most materials in the textbook

I really enjoyed this class and definitely got a lot out of it. Dr. H really knows her stuff and does her best to make things interesting and engaging. Combine your notes from class with definitions from the book to make a study guide and this class is an easy A.

She posts decent notes on Canvas, so there's little effort. It's a really easy class and she drops your lowest exam grade. Extra credit helps a lot too. The exams are 50 multiple choice questions and they're not difficult, but make sure you know some of the specific details and terms well. Her voice is a little annoying, but you get over it.

This was an entry level class, but absolutely amazing. The way she explains the topics make the content fun to learn about, and it definitely spurred an interest for me with psychology. I would suggest good study habits as there are only 3-4 exams grades that are used, but she makes the tests fun to study for.

Don't have to read the book just make a quizlet of the terms in the book and study your lecture notes really well and you'll do well on the tests. Should go to class because the examples she gives in class are on the test. 50 questions mult choice. There's one extra credit opportunity for 5 points. Really interesting lectures.

Go to class, take notes from the lectures, study a bit, and you're fine. Tests are almost word for word from lecture, with a few book questions.

Most of her tests are based off of her lectures and the textbook. She uploads simple outlines of each chapter but they do not have enough information to help you pass the class. Her lectures are very interesting and she tries to engage the whole class. Also makes an effort to learn everyone's name. Very nice professor, relatively easy class.

have to go to class. she's really nice, but makes you work for your grade. stuff on tests is out of textbook too, not only her lectures. she'll use examples from lectures on the tests so don't skip. she knows when you miss class. she knows if you try hard. most studying i've ever done for a class, but not impossible to make As on tests!

Dr. Hornstein is amazing! The people who don't do well in her class are those who miss every Friday and do not go to class regularly. I have been to every single lecture, and it payed off because her tests are word for word from lecture. The best way to study for the tests are to study the crap out of your lecture notes+ vocab from the textbook.

I took this class for the UC credit. It is not a hard class , she has three tests and a final. She drops one of the tests. Play close attention to her syllabus since she will not remind you of the tests or the quizzes. Overall, it is an interesting class and you will be able to do well if you pay attention in class.

This class isn't hard, but don't take it as a complete blow-off bc you'll get absolutely decked. It isn't hard to do well, but I regret taking the class since I didn't need the credit really. If you're asking yourself, you don't wanna be a psych minor/major so don't do it lol (nothing against her tho she's pretty cool) do the extra credit asap

she's SUCH a gem. I love this woman so so much and would take any class she offered & I'm not a psych major. Don't need to read the textbook; just make flash cards of all the terms from it. take notes in class. you don't NEED to go to class, but I'd recommend. it's fun and she talks about exactly what's on quizzes and exams. Overall, like yes

I took her class thinking it would be easy, but little did I know it was very hard. The subject material is difficult. You have to study a lot for the tests. She's seems pretty chill.

Very fair teacher. The test is very vocabulary heavy as long as you review the vocabulary on Quizlet a few days leading up to the test you'll do fine. Drops the lowest test grade and the two lowest quiz grades. While lectures won't make or break your grade, it is encouraged. As long as you prep will outside of class you'll do fine.

Where can I start? I love this woman. She has such a passion for psychology and it shows. She is very clear on what she expects from you. Here lectures are interactive and engaging. Every time i leave that class I feel like I've learned so much. Her tests are relatively easy if you pay attention to lecture and read the book.16 points of extra cred!

She gives lots of extra credit & drops your lowest test grade. Do your research credits early so you don't have to stress. She makes her lectures interesting with videos and funny examples. Just don't get up to go to the bathroom in class-- she will stop her whole class and stare you down. Not my cup of tea but still definitely a good prof.

I took it during covid so she wasnt hard on attendance but she uses a lot of examples so i thought her class was easy to follow. She requires reading the textbook and that information is tested too but I found the book for a lot cheaper online

Tests are all vocab but find a quizlet and youll be fine. She also gives 15 points extra credit at end of semester which helps a lot. Professor Horstein makes the lectures fun and engaging.

She is an amazing professor and gives great lectures. You will need to go to class and pay attention to what she says because she will put one phrase on a slide and talk about it in detail. She always gives examples which is super helpful so write them down. As long as you study and pay attention, youll do great in the class.

I took her intro to psych course and loved it. Learned so much, and she is really great at using zoom. Quizzes & tests are easy as long as you read the textbook. I wish I could take this class again

I LOVED having Dr. Hornstein she's awesome!! You definitely have to read the textbook to get an A and go to class. The class is super cool and fun, I loved going. The textbook is also really interesting, I hate textbooks but this one I liked a lot. Hornstein is awesome

Hornstein is truly the gem of intro psych. Her class is very manageable as long as you show up, do the readings, and study. It's that simple. If you take good notes and know the textbook terms, you should do well. She also offers extra credit to help bump quiz grades. It's sad students who don't study give her bad ratings she's super chill.

Super easy class. Just attend the lectures and you will be fine.

Susan is great for intro psych, she does a great job giving an overview of everything. She has class outlines for all the lectures which are super helpful. You also need to read the textbook if youre aiming for high As on the tests sometimes theres material in there she doesnt get to. Super sweet, wants everyone to genuinely understand material

I love Prof Hornstein. The lectures are super interesting and there is no homework. You need to read and study for the tests but she offers extra credit. Some people say the tests are hard but if you go to class and take notes you will be fine. I always looked forward to this class. She is also super nice and approachable! Definitely take!

Really goes in depth about the topics and loves what she does. Super sweet lady, and always there if you need help or have questions. She tries her best to keep the class involved and give real-life examples to help explain what you're learning about.

I love her. She gives great examples to help you understand the material. Your grade is just quizzes and test. This year, being all online, everything was open note. Being in person will definitely be harder but she is a great teacher and wants to help her students.

Lectures were fairly engaging. Tests and quizzes were easy. Nothing much to say, just an easy, overall solid professor.

Not sure why other people are complaining about this course. Lectures are engaging, and she's one of the only profs I have who gives genuine lectures that aren't just reading PowerPoint slides. This class is relatively easy, not a free A, but there's an opportunity to take a weekly survey for 15 points to your average. Very manageable to get an A.

She is a wonderful person, truly cares about her students. She did her masters work on memory so she is really knowledgeable with the material. the only thing I didn't like was the class was only 4 exams, 40 multiple choice. she didn't post lecture notes, just the outlines, so missing one class could cost you big time. the material is very specific

I love Dr. Hornstein as a person. I had her for both intro and memory & cognition. However, I will say that coming out of intro I was disappointed in her mem & cog course. The lectures are fine, but the textbook is very dense and difficult to digest, but most of the exam is based off reading

AMAZING prof. Lectures are interesting bc she makes them interactive, and tests are very easy - straight from lecture and a few easy ones from the textbook. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a low-stress, easy, and fun psych class.

I took her for Mem and cog and Intro to psych. I loved her both times. Some of my classmates disagreed, but using solely lecture notes and less than 4 hrs of studying for each test I was able to easily get all high As. She includes personal stories in her lectures which sometimes take too long, but over all I loved her

I was excited for her lectures. As a lecture heavy class, you need to attend to not spend more time out of class. Quizlet and the book question helped me a lot. Do the extra credit as it can bump u up a letter. All her tests are multiple-choice and quizzes based on the book are open-note.

Dr. Hornstein is such an engaging lecturer! Her exams are completely fine, she gives tips on studying and taking notes which helped me. She offers extra credit which I definitely recommend taking advantage of. To do well you have to not miss class as she covers material that will be present in the exam, but it is worth it. Take her if you can!!

Super easy class take it. I was about to drop because I was worried about taking this class on top of the other courseload I have but I am so glad I stayed in it. Her lectures are so fun and she usually discusses stuff that you will see on the test during her lectures.

Intro classes can be a lot of work because there is a lot to cover, but Hornstein makes it interesting. The class is hard for some students because it does require effort, but understand the book vocab and recopy your notes, and you'll do fine. Quizzes are from books, and tests are book vocab and class notes. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EXTRA CREDIT!

Prof. Hornstein's class made me appreciate psychology a lot! She includes videos and involves students in surveys/experiments during lectures, so class is usually fun. Homework quizzes are pulled directly from the textbook, and exams are only multiple choice. Pay attention to her words (not the PowerPoints), memorize terms, and you'll do well!

I liked this class! Make sure to read the textbook & study her notes and you'll be okay for exams/quizzes. 100% attend all/ most lectures because the examples used in class help to understand the material and will most likely be seen on that exam/ final exam. You can review your exams after in office hours to see the questions you missed too!

Her lectures are VERY entertaining! Her tests are super straightforward, cut-and-dry. I'm not sure why there are so many students here saying her tests are hard, because they are not. If you know what each term means, the test are really easy. Just note the test info is from both the lecture and textbook, so you can't ditch. & 10 pts extra credit!

Professor Hornstein is AWESOME! Attendance was not mandatory so I skipped when I needed to and got notes from a friend. You are supposed to read but I just skimmed over chapters (only look at bolded terms!) and did just fine on tests. Lecture is so fun and engaging. I cannot express how easy, fun, and stress-free this class is.

Great professor - majored in Psychology because of her class. Her class is definitely one I would take again!

Tests were remote with a webcam but very straightforward and multiple-choice. Attendance was optional but the final was completely based on the lecture. Very interesting professor and the lectures were engaging. I 100% recommend taking her. Easy to approach for help with note outlines.

Whoever rated Hornstein low either did so because they couldn't handle spending more than 20 minutes outside of class A MONTH on her course or because they think "Psychology is fake". Hornstein's class was literally the easiest A of my life. Her lectures are amazing, and she truly shows passion for her teachings. Get the textbook and go to class!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Hornstein. This was a very easy class, I didn't score less than a 94 on any of the exams, including the final. Lectures can be boring but don't skip unless you're willing to read the textbook to make up for what you missed. Overall, you should take her if you can.

very interesting lectures! if you go to class, pay attention to her lectures, take good notes, and read the textbook you should do amazing. the concepts are not hard to learn, it's just a lot of information.

Professor Hornstein was amazing! She gives the best lectures, and you can tell she cares and knows a lot about the information she's teaching. The tests can be difficult, but you should be fine if you read the textbook and go to class. She doesn't take attendance, but it would be hard to pass without the lectures. Definitely take her for credit!

Professor Hornstein's lectures are usually not too bad, she does a good job of keeping the class engaging. She is great at explaining topics covered in her lectures, however, on every test there are at least 3-4 questions that she simply does not cover. You have to read the entire textbook just to get those few questions right, which is annoying.

LOVED this professor! GREAT LECTURER and material is interesting -- I actually looked forward to her class. Grade is based off 4 unit exams and a final; however your lowest test grade is dropped. Unit exams are super fair and are 50 multiple choice questions that are based off her lectures. Go to class, take notes, and you are guaranteed an A.

Professor Hornstein was a great Professor. I really enjoyed her class and thought her lectures were super interesting. Her class is based off of 4 Exams and a Final, but drops the lowest score. If you take good notes and go to class, then you will do well on the Exams. Her Exams are mostly on the lectures, with a few questions from the textbook.

This class was life-changing for me. Dr. Hornstein inspired me to add psychology as a major. Her lectures are gripping! Reading the textbook and reviewing the note outlines are critical. The tests are straightforward and not at all meant to be tricky. She offers extra credit and drops your lowest exam grade. The final exam can be dropped.

Dr. Hornstein gave the most engaging and interesting lectures of all my profs this semester. She sometimes demonstrated a psychological phenomenon through in-class experiments. Just take notes during class, read some of the textbook, and you'll be chilling. I spent < 2 hr/week on her class. 4 tests are multiple choice + easy to guess on.

Her lectures were engaging and interesting. To do well, you need to either read or find a way to get that material. The course is graded by the exams, which are easy as long as you go to class (and be engaged) and read the textbook. There is also extra cred. It is not a free A, but it is extremely doable as long as you study.

Her lectures were really interesting and her tests really are not hard at all if you at least study some. I would just go over key words from the textbook chapters for each test because she likes to stick in random stuff from the textbook on the tests but mostly it's all lecture material.

She is a great lecturer and used many helpful videos/examples to make class really engaging. The people that are upset with her class are the same people that did not want to 1. Pay attention/take notes in class and 2. Read the textbook (otherwise known as doing your work?). Exams are very straightforward. Put some effort in and it's an easy A.

Don't understand all the whining about this professor to be honest. Show up to class regularly and pay attention. I did basically no studying and no reading for this course and I ended up with a B, it's an easy course. Hornstein is a great lecturer and a great teacher, I'm convinced the complaints come from people who didn't/rarely showed up.

Professor Hornstein made the material easy to understand, and I had no trouble at all getting an A in the class. I truly do not understand why the other reviews are so negative. I never went to office hours so can't speak to that. But I also barely studied, went to maybe 2/3 of the classes, and still breezed thru with an A.

I absolutely loved Professor Hornstein. She's super into what she teaches and makes class super interesting. Her exams are all multiple choice and she gives a lot of extra credit! You can tell she really loves what she teaches. I would 10000% recommend taking her for Intro to Psych!

Hornstein made this class so interesting, by far the best psych class I have taken. Her tests are almost entirely on lecture material so attendance is important but not mandatory. She is available outside of class and her lectures are phenomenal. I can't recommend her and this class enough, just be sure to take thorough class notes.

Hornstein is a great professor and really engages with the class. You really need to pay attention when taking notes since the slides are merely outlines for her lecture. She also tests on readings from the textbook that were not discussed in class, which makes it a bit hard to study for tests.

Hornstein is a great lecturer but the class itself is just difficult. She draws a couple questions on each exam from the textbook but always labels them at the end. She does a great job of explaining the topics but you do have to put a lot of hours into studying for the exams as the class covers a lot. Take Hornstein for this class if you can

I loved everything about this course. She provides guided notes to make following the material easier and gives personal anecdotes to keep students entertained. I wish I could have her for the rest of my SMU career. TAKE HER

Dr. Hornstein really cares about her students. Memory and Cognition is a hard class but she made it fun. Tests are hard but easy to manage if you come to class and read the textbook.

Cog & Brain was one of my fav classes this semester bc the topics we covered in class were so interesting however there's a lot of mandatory reading required. Quizzes every class over the readings, but they're super easy if you did the reading. 25 min long presentation & research paper were the hardest parts, but tests are open-note and easy!!

You don't need the textbook to do well on exams. She gives you guided notes for lectures. If you add on to those notes and write down all the details she says during class you will do good on exams. She also provides opportunities for extra credit.

Super interesting professor. Not a hard class, just don't skip and scan the textbook before the test. She is super engaging and applies the material to real life (study skills, memory tests, eyewitness testimony, etc). I would recommend this class to everyone, not just psych majors.

Dr. Hornstein is a fantastic professor! Her tests are literally the lectures, I promise you. I didn't even need to use the book to be honest. Just memorize, make your own quizlets, try someone else's quizlets and I promise you, you can get a high A on the tests! Also, like she said in her lectures, relate the content to personal life.

He lectures are super interesting, and I've learned so much, take good notes. Grade is based on 4 tests and a final but she drops the lowest one. Honestly tests are a little hard but there's a review guide. Attendance isn't taken or mandatory, tested off lectures but the book is a good back up. Definitely take

Her lectures are amazing, super interesting and you actually learn. No attendance is taken, no busy work. 4 exams and finals, where she drops lowest exam grade, taking her again!

She's great, and one of the best professors I've had. She so caring and you can tell she really loves what she does. As long as you show up and listen to most lectures and review before tests, you'll be fine. Plus no assigned homework!! I took Intro to Psych with no prior knowledge of psychology and am ending the class with a A!

The class is easy as long as you know how to study. If you go to class and pay attention to the lectures, you will be fine. 5 tests, including the final, but you can drop one or not take the final. Her lectures are actually interesting if you slightly understand psychology. I would take it, it's really easy.

I loved Dr. Hornstein! I liked the way she taught. Although attendance is not mandatory, going to class and taking notes definitely helps. I did not read the textbook once and only relied on what she spoke in class and I did well on all my exams. I thought her exams were fairly easy. She is very passionate about psych and makes the class enjoyable!

I liked Professor Susan a lot actually. Her lectures are easy to understand and she made a subject that was previously boring so interesting and made me reconsider my path in college (in a good way!). Focus in class and you'll get a good grade

TAKE HER! She is great. 5 exams (final is optional, not cumulative), lowest dropped. Final grade is the average of your top 4 exams plus up to 15 extra credit points, then divided by 4. Start extra credit early. You need 8 research credits (SONA/4 short papers) to avoid a grade penalty. They do not boost your grade. She's helpful outside the class.

TAKE HER!!! most amazing professor I have had in college. genuinely cares about each of her students and loves to chat outside of class about anything. you do have to go to the lectures to do well because her posted notes are not complete, but the lectures are so entertaining, I couldn't wait for them each day. 100000% would take again!

The people giving her 1 star are the people who sat in the back and shopped for Lululemmon instead of paying attention &#128128; legit probably the easiest class you'll take, as long as you show up to class because she puts her anecdotes directly into the tests

Great class very fun five stars

Super interesting lectures, as long as you attend class you should get an A. I don't understand all the hate considering how straight foward her tests are. All tests based on lectures, just take good notes. Overall great lecturer

4 test make up your enitre grade but she is awesome teacher

SHE IS AWESOME
