Mrs. Pierce is such an awesome teacher!! She is so easy. I got A's on everything. I deffinetly recommend her to anyone that wants an easy A.
Easy A
cool teacher, easy class. it's just a big dicision class so if u dont like talking dont take it still its fun, u get into some wild convos. the only bad thing about the teachers is that shes a red sox fan =[
She is the greatest! Seriously if you want an easy A take this class! She reads off the test before you take it, and even better, the class is actually fun! she involves the students, and we have awesome discussions.. i recommend her to EVERYONE!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! Take her class. Youll love her. She is my fav teach ever. And this is now my fav class.
She is AWESOME! She's sooo nice and she's a great teacher! It's really easy to absorb all of the information and she does a lot to help everyone learn and do well on exams and stuff. Take her class!
Very affable and approachable. She seems a bit haphazard at times but it's just her personality. Has prior experience in the research field of psychology as well. She gets my approval for sure!
BEST TEACHER ive had so far. She is my favorite i aced the course with a 98% she reviews for every single test and makes sure everyones on the ball i love her and move my schedule around every semester to take her classes
really nice and very helpful. she reviews before every test and basically gives you the answers to study. she seems kinda mean at first, but she is actually pretty cool. just pay attention in class and you will do fine.

Easy A. seriously. I took her for Developmental Psychology/Lifespan. She lectures and class is boring but it is easy. Id take her again. She tells you exactly what is going to be on the test before you take it. VERY EASY!
Simply marvelous. Easy to understand and really very helpful to her students. Very approachable too. Finished the course with a 100% average.
Please read your syllabus and your text! That is how you will you well! Not a cake class, but interesting and if you follow along in the text-she stays on track. Easy class for me.
MRS. PIERCE WAS WONDERFUL HER TEST WERE EASY IF YOU PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS AND TAKE THOROUGH NOTES. SHE IS VERY APPROACHABLE AND UNDERSTANDING. IF YOU HAVE A REASON NOT TO MISS CLASS JUST TELL HER AND SHE'LL BE VERY UNDERSTANDING, THAT IS IF IT IT A LOGIICAL REASON. N-E WAY CLASS IS EASY I PASSED WITH AN A AND THE FINAL WAS OPTIONAL.
Great teacher! Willing to help and be sure you understand. If you study what she tells you at review and read the chapter info, there is no reason to fail! I highly recommend this teacher and class!
She is a very good teacher she tells you everything thats going to be on the test all you have to do is take notes shes very fun and doesnt give you a hard time. She's a very good teacher
5 easy tests, she does a review before every test which is all you basically need to study...and just take notes...only one paper due, very good Professor!!
Loved this class, easy going, notes are specific to what is on the test. offer reviews and 1 research paper and 5 exams. she drops the lowest exam grade. Will love to take her again
MRS. PIERCE ROCKS! I wouldn't say this was an "easy A", I mean sure, it's easy if you do all the work and show up! I did get an A, but know she is VERY strict on attendance, and DO NOT be late! If you miss more than 3-4 days you WILL fail. However, the material is very interesting and this class is very engaging. She is helpful and great!
Great professor! She's extremely helpful and I enjoyed her class.
Highly disorganized!!! Her reviews and tests are a mess. Don't take her!!
She was very disorganized. She didn't even know what day she had scheduled for tests. She mixed up my project and said I had a different topic when she assigned me that topic in the beginning of the class- almost making me write a 12pg research paper because of her own mistake. NOT RECOMMENDED.
She was not very organized..write a 12 pg paper or do powerpoint. Powerpoint is very easy and basic will get an A on it. First test 75 questions multiple choice. other test m/c too but not short. Final optional 20questions and only on 1 chapter that was nice. The Final is the easier than any of her tests. Easy B in the class.
great teachr . helps everyone. this is the 3rd class i take with her. def take this teacher
This teacher is the best. As for the 10 page essay I made an 100 to be exact, and it was my second paper using APA format. I passed the class with an A and did not have to take the exam. Professor Pierce is amazing. There were times when I was sick and she let me leave class before it even started. Take her if you are ready for college, if not go b
She is very easy going!Loved this class!Does reviews a really good review for all 5 exams.There is 1 research paper that must me 6pages or more witch is a little hard to write, but she isnt a hard grader! Also one group project. she drops the lowest exam grade. Will love to take her again

Had her for dev psych too. Am going to take her clinical psych class in the fall. Awesome teacher!!
Awesome teacher. No Homework at all except one paper. You need to make sure you pay attention in her class and write notes. the day before the test she gives a review, basically telling us what's on the test.
This lady is bias and her class is boring.

Loved this class and teacher is easy going, helpful. she is awesome
Mrs. Pierce is the bomb!!!! I highly highly recommend her!! I love her so much as a teacher that I have taken her for my Dev. of Psy. class, Psychology, and Psychology of personal growth. I don't even need to take these classes for my degree but she is just such a fun and outgoing teacher. No homework. If you miss a class or two no biggy..
awesome! always helpful. best teacher
Awesome teacher!!! Also took her for Life Changing PSY and it was a great class!!!
She is deff one of my favorite teachers at HCC! The tests are easy and she has an awesome test review. There's not much homework, just some papers. She jokes around with the class but yet you still learn. She has a a great personality and is there if you need any help. TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!
Loved this class, easy going, writes notes on board, and just an awesome teacher.
Loved this class, really helpful teachr and easy going. It was fun to learn in her class. hope to take her for more classs
Super easy. SHe goes over what is on the tests, I don't know how anyone could fail. Gordan rule paper, really long but really easy. Great teacher!
she is the best! class is awesome and she is helpful.
Prof. Pierce is a wonderful and understanding teacher. She is also very efficient and knows what she is talking about in her lectures. She's funny and I enjoyed her teaching.
she is awesome! best class i have at hcc. she is fun and helpful
Very helpful, definitly recommend! Give extra credit but you need to know your stuff! Involves us in great discussions! The best!
def recommend her!! I love her so much as a teacher so i plan take her other classes and she teaches Socology now! & don't even need to take the classes. she is awesome
She is great! it's easy if you go to class and not late and do the work. she is interesting and helpful.
pretty easy class besides the group project and gordon rule paper. her tests are easy and she is a very nice teacher. likes to have class discussions and you def need to read the chapter before coming to class.
great class. def recommend her. class was fun and she is a great teacher
Pierce is a good professor, she is knowledgeable and has people skills. I do think she needs to be more strict with some of her students because they often disrespect her. Her class is interesting and offers a way to learn without having to worry about a large workload.
she is awesome really helpful of u talk to her and as long as you pay attention to her lectures her tests will be easy.
Awesome teacher! Way cool! Makes the class fun and interesting and I'm not a Physic major. Not a hard class if you put your work in. Highly recommended!
Great teacher! Definitely plan to take her again if possible. This class takes up a ton of time, but I had so much fun in class that I didn't care. Makes the class into one big family. The tests are hard, but she has ways to boost your grade up. Gordon Rule and group project are required, but they are super easy. TAKE HER!!
Professor Pierce is a good teacher. one that will keep you wanting to learn more about the subject. She is kind with her grading as long as she see you put effort into the work. The essay is a little hard but if you follow her rules, you should get an A on it. Group assignment is a breeze, and the tests should be easy if you study.
Glad i finaly got in this class. awesome teacher! great class
awesome class and teachr. test are easy if yuo go class and read chapters. theres group project and gordon rule paper she makes easy with the directions. nice teacher and great class discussions
I really learned a lot from her class & had awesome discussions. real helpful to
Mrs. Pierce is a GREAT teacher! Everyone should take her for SYG 2000!! She is polite and respectful. She gives study guides that are really the tests! You would be a fool if you chose anyone but her! Very helpful with everything. Study the reviews, do the writing assignment, group project, show up to class and you will get an easy A!
I went with the Service Learning class... and even then the class is fairly easy if you put in the time. The assignments (gordon rule paper, group project, etc) were easy, but I always had trouble with the tests. She's funny and knows what she's talking about. Don't dare text in her class, though!
Amazing teacher! She is well organized, and if you follow her instructions you will get an A in her class. She makes learning these subjects fun and interesting. I highly recommend her classes! I took her for both Ssociology and Psychology.
READ THE BOOK, LOOK FOR POWERPOINTS ONLINE. Gordon rule, group Ch. and 1st test are mandatory. Attendance is a must (after 5 misses, lower your grade). Her notes are easy to understand, let's you know what is on the test. Final is optional(replaces lowest test grade). NO PHONES ALLOWED. READ THE BOOK & FOLLOW HER DIRECTIONS.
One of my favorite. She's really easy and gets to the point. I had her community serves class and its mandatory, but its worth it. I really enjoyed her class and seriously recommend her.
Awesome teacher and well organized. She makes class fun and learn a lot to. def recommend her. I take all classes she teaches , psy and soc . she is best and helpful
She gets to the point very clearly, very helpful and attentive toward her students. You have 5 exams and she drop one of the lowest grades except exam 1, also a group presentation , and a gordon rule paper about your career. Her exams are very easy since everything is in the review and notes.
Yes def take this teacher. she is so nice and really helps. the class is interesting and fun!
She is organized. ifyou follow instructions you get good grade.she makes learning these subjects fun and interesting. Highly recommend her.
Professor Pierce is great! I definitely recommend taking her class. If you take her notes and study you should have no problem. There are 4 tests. The final exam is optional. The final is used to replace lowest test score. Also 1 paper and a group project. All are graded equally and she gives several opportunities for extra credit.
The class is not the easiest class, although I received an A. Her reviews don't help too much and she goes extremely fast when giving her PowerPoint lectures. I recommend to take as many notes as you can and study from them. If it's a community service learning class, you only have to do one paper and it's very easy. You can get an A if you study.
AWESOME teacher! Great lectures and she give really good reviews. easy going and really nice lady...highly recommend her class
She gets to the point, helps students and easy going. Gives reviews. If you pay attention its easy, just don’t use cells in her class. Very helpful highly recommend.
fun class and really nice teacher. she is really helpful and always take time to explain if you don't get something.
fun class and really nice teacher. always take time to explain if you don't get something.
Her lectures are very clear and easy to understand and they are always posted on blackboard. On the other hand, she lacks understanding which is ironic because she's a psych teacher. Don't be not even a minute late for class you will be marked absent and she refuses to change it. She's very vague, and gets frustrated with too many questions.
Professor Pierce is awesome. I love her lectures and really enjoy this class. She grades the gordon rule and group assignment easy if you do a half way decent job. Really great professor
GREAT teacher! Everyone should take her, she is polite and respectful. She is helpful an fun class. if you study and go to class you wil do well.
Best teacher and class ever! She really helps her students and makes it interesting. She is really nice person
LOVE HER! Not only is she a RED SOX fan, but her class is pretty amazing. I took the hybrid (M/W) course, and it was pretty easy. She really stresses Gordon rule, and attendance. Her tests are from all the notes. I wouldn't recommend missing her class- you will be missing volatile info! She's very funny & the side conversations are very interesting
Best teacher! Easy class, good for students who don't like school. I'm so glad I ended up with a good teacher like her (:
best class ever at hcc. helpful teachr. highly recommend
Understanding and straightforward professor. She gives you eveything and puts it online too. Exams are easy if you go to class and study. Very helpful professor
love this class. will be taking her other class next year. she easy going and helpful and very nice person. the class is interesting, I actualy learned in this class
Best teacher ever! Def recommend.
recommend. nice teacher and helpful.
good class, helpful and kind teacher and funny. recommend this class
Such a great and helpful teacher! Very understanding & as long add you pay attention during review games & do ask your blackboard assignments then you shouldn't have a problem passing the class for sure :)
I love Ms. Pierce if the class is open I suggest you get yourself in there. I took the hybrid m/w class her attendance is a must I did miss two weeks I told her ahead of time and she worked with me.
Awesome awesome awesome professor. She helps out a lot! She gives you the notes and lets you know what you need to study for the test. Very interesting class as well and I enjoyed going to her lecture. Highly recommend that you take her!
She is a great professor ! Always willing to help and is always there to listen! She gives test reviews for every test(study word for word, she words her test difficult, but still an easy A) and her lectures are all powerpoints. There is print out notes and you only need the text book for the rule assignment. Aside from that she is pretty great.
Awesome teacher!!! loved goin to class it was so interesting. always helpful.
I love Mrs. Pierce! Shes very kind and knowledgeable. She gets mixed up sometimes during lectures and shes not technologically savvy but shes an awesome teacher and shes very supportive. I would take her again if I wasn't done with my AA.
Only one assignment at the beginning of the class, which can be taken mostly out of the book. Exams are fair when you study. The lectures couldn't be more interesting and entertaining. If you like psychology and a good GPA, take her. Just don't miss classes; she really hates that.
Professor Pierce is a wonderful professor. Although the course was only held on Wednesday while the majority of the time assignments were done on Blackboard, I enjoyed this course. I took Psychology in high school & I did not understand it, but with Professor Pierce, she made it very simple and clear. Psychology is my major & I am glad she helped.
I can not think of a better professor at this school. The passion and clarity that she possess about psychology is refreshing. If you need help, she will go way above and behond to ensure that you understand what she is teaching. I would recomend her to anyone.
she is great, gives a lot of extra credit, make sure to pay attention in class and her study guides are all you need for the tests
She is passionate about the subject and instills this in her students. A pleasure to go to class. I hat group projects and still totally enjoyed the class. Very clear and interesting person. Easy to earn an A, do the work and study.
Best prof I had for online class , organized and clear. always available
Mrs. Pierce is very kind, respectful, helpful, and all around a very nice woman. I would definitely take another class with her.
OUTSTANDING PROFESSOR. I took her course for General Psychology + Abnormal Psychology That most important thing I can say is that she is willing to HELP her students as long as they try. Susan Pierce Amaral WILL BE MISSED A WHOLE LOT. GREAT INSTRUCTOR
Nice teacher always available. The assignments are layed out so its easy to understand what to do. Easy to follow class
This class is a breeze if you pay attention in class. You don't need to take extensive notes, but notes will help! She does a review the class before each test, and there is one online as well. Even if you do average on a test you can still get an A. There is one group project that is not hard as long as you follow the directions. Go to classes!
Best online course I had. Easy to understand and NO campus tests. High recomend
I love this teacher, very helpful and kind. If the class is open hurry to get in there. I was in online class. it was always interesting.
Best online professor I ever had. Every thig you need is online and easy to understand it. Helpful and cares about students. If you do your work you will pass. Highly recommend this online class.
Awesome online class. It was organized to make i t easier to do. She always gives fast feedback to help the students. This was the best online I had and a great teacher.
Easiest online class I've had yet! Textbook is available online for free. Do the work and you can't fail. Teacher gives you everything you need to excel in this class, gives excellent feedback. If she deducts points from a discussion she lets you know why immediately so you can be sure to correct yourself for the next assignment. Highly Recommend!
I enjoyed this class. I needed it for credit and got an A. I'm so glad I took this course, wish I could take all her classes. Do the work assigned you will pass, read syllabus, and follow directions.
She is best distance learning teacher I ever had. Organized, quick feedback, clear to understand whats required, cares about students. Wish she taught other distance learning classes to. Defintely recommend.
She is best distance learning teacher I ever had. Organized, gives quick feedback, clear to understand. Wish she taught other distance learning classes to. Defintely recommend.
Best teacher i had for online class. Everything is organized makes it so easy to follow what to do. This teacher is always availble and gives fast feedback that helps. I plan to take her campus hybrid class too it only meets one day. Highly recommend this class. Hurry up to get in to her class, it fills up fast.
She is amazing, I have nothing bad to say about her. Her lectures are very nice and all of it will be on the test, so its a easy way to study. She has four quizzes all due at the end of semester but are open all the time to review for test. Has No homework but you have to write the Gordon rule assign. But it is an essay A. To help your grade.
Hands down the best professor I have ever had. Probably because she's from Boston! Willing to help and accommodate anything you may need. She makes the course very fun and interesting. I would take a class of hers again. You do not need the access code for the book.
I ended with a 145% in this class so needless to say it was one of if not the easiest class I've ever taken. She gives good lectures and a below average amount of homework. The only downside is the easiness lowers the amount of learning. For these reasons overall i give her an 8/10. I think you'd have to try to get below an A in this class.
The hybrid class met once a week and it fills up fast. Awesome class, interesting lectures and discussions. She gives fast feedback so you dont make mistake again. She is always available and really nice person. Best class ever
She's such an awesome teacher! She loves what she teachers and she lovers her students!! Expectations are clear for her courses. she gives you all the materials you need to learn and pass.
Best Hybrid class ever only had to go 1 day a week and it was a fun class. Interesting lectures and she is really helpful and kind. Def recommend.
Take her class if your trying to fail.
Awesome class and professor. It's a hybrid so you only go to class once a week and it fills fast. She is always available, has interesting lectures and discussions. Always gives fast feedback to help students. Best class
EASIEST CLASS ONLINE! You learn so much from her and she's so nice! It's basically impossible to fail this class. Just do the work and you'll get an easy A+!:)
Professor Pierce is very nice and the course overall was easy to pass. The class is lecture heavy, the downside of the class was it was difficult to get through most lectures because of multiple questions students had that were off topic.
The class was interesting and the professor is awesome. Wish she taught more classes, she is my fav.
I am going to take a hybrid class with her this semester, only 1 day on campus. Best professor ever. So helfull and accommodating. Easy to pass as long you do your work. She makes the course very fun and interesting.
I enjoyed this class. I'm so glad I took this course and I am going to take another hybrid, I only go to campus one day during the week. If you follow the insturctions and do the work you will pass. Always lets you know why you lose points so you can do it right on other assignments. Really well organized and easy to understand what is required.
This teacher gives you a complete 0 for getting only 1 part of the assignment wrong. She also is never specific when commenting on why you got the question wrong, always says look over the syllabus again. She has multiple writing assignment during the week. I dont recommend this teacher at all.
She really cares about her students and what they have to say. Her grading method is clear and fair. Makes class enjoyable and interesting. You will learn a lot of material from her!!
I had Professor Pierce for both intro and abnormal psych online and her class was amazing! You have a quiz and a discussion each week and a unit test every four chapters. I would recommend her every single time!! She gives great feedback and the class is very organized and easy to follow.
Take her you wont regret it!! Shes the best!!
Best teacher for online class. She is always available and the class is so organized. Always gives immediate fast feedback to help her students. Im taking another online course with her for the fall semester.
Nice teacher always available and helpful. This is the best online class and teacher I ever had. The online work is well organized making it straightforward. She always gives fast feedback. Highly recommend her online class. I am taking her online abnormal psychology in Fall.
Most organized online prof. Would take her again, she is very helpful and provides fast feedback. Recommended
she was super nice but i took her class online with no lecture so i didn't get much experience with her
This course is very straightforward: read your textbook, take your quizzes, and participate in the discussion board. Each Module ends with an exam that reviews the material and the final assignment is a reflection of what you've learned. Easy A with a considerate Professor. She recommended this course after I took her Gen. Psy and I loved it.
This was an amazing introduction to Psychology. The professor included cool videos from Youtube in each module (a lot of which I had already watched on my own time) that adds to the lesson. This course has a basic and considerate format; quizzes and discussion board. The Professor did a great job with this course. Definitely an easy A.
i took this online and she had a free textbook available online. she would assign a quiz and another assignment for every chapter. tests are very easy and straightforward. she grades through a point system.
i took the professers Psy2012 online. It was a great class, she always made it fun. She would add information in our discussions, always interesting topics. I am taking her abnormal psychology in Fall. Highly recommend this professor
Professor Pierce is an excellent Professor, it was wonderful having her as my Psychology Professor because her class was very interesting and her assignments were very challenging, so I learner a lot.
Quick responses to messages and homework assignments. EASY discussion posts a minimum of 101 words. About 1 assignment and discussion per chapter. The quizzes are the same questions you see on the test. Assignments consist of articles or videos, and using the FREE online textbook she links helps. WOULD TAKE IT AGAIN.
