Great prof! Makes pscyhology fun and interesting and welcomes questions and comments from students. Take her if you do well with interactive instruction.
Too many scenarios on her exam make them KILLER hard
very great teacher. very glad that I took this class taught especially because she is a wonderful teacher. tests come right from your notes and homework
Dr. Spooner is a great professor! I recommend her highly. Her exams are a little confusing but if you study and do all the homework you will do well on the test. She makes you work for that A. Thanks, Dr. Spooner for everything!
Her tests can be a little bit hard with the wording, but if you study real good then it's not that hard of a class. She teaches the material to where you actually learn it and her class is fun to be in. Excellent teacher!
VERY LAID BACK..test can be a bit tough..but i would take her again
dude spoonster is awesome!
The Spoonster is pretty sweet, loved her class and she is pretty easy and i slept through class
Awesome Teacher. If I could take her for every class I would. To bad she only teaches psychology. U must study for tests, but if you come to class u will understand it all.
She was absolutely AWESOME!
She's funny, interesting, cool, and wonderful. Her class teaches things that relate to everyday life. It's a fun class because she welcomes student discussions that relate to the lecture. Truly -- she's awesome.
Super nice! Makes everything really simple. Knows what she's talking about. Always willing to help. Heavy reliance on book. Study the book and pay attention in class and it should be a breeze. Really fun and easy.
I've had 20 different professors during my college experience and she's my favorite by far.
Spooner is great! She will work just as hard as you do to help you get the grade you deserve. I had little interest in the class at first but have moved my major to Psyc.
Tests were not a cake walk, but plenty of online quiz practice prior to in class tests. Good at lecture and notes. Stays on topic with plenty of discussion and she enjoys interaction with student participation. NO, I didn't get an A, but like the class anyway! (I honestly could have worked a bit harder.)
Spooner is amazing!!! She makes class fun and relates to things student are going through. Her test are not easy but if you do the work and ask for help when needed she will work with you. I would take her again if she taught another class I needed.
I love Prof. Spooner! She's always there to help if you don't understand the material and ready to review with you before each exam so that you understand everything. I love how she gives a practice test before each real test and you can take it as many times as you want and only counts the highest score. Definitely take her!
Absolutely the best teacher I have had. I actually switched majors because of her class. You will work hard in her class but she is extremely fair and always there to help. Excellent course!
I loved Dr. Spooner she was funny and kept me interested. I thought she was super easy, the test questions are the exact quiz questions. I would take her for another class any day. I highly recommend her!
i loved her! she was funny and i did look forward to her class. just pay attention and your good to go!
Great communication. Be sure to study the book well and take good notes, some of the questions on the quizzes and tests can be a little tricky, but I have never been a good test-taker. I took the online course but she seems to be a very nice teacher and willing to help. Pay attention and you will do fine.
I took this class online. She is a great teacher. Responds very quickly to emails. Wants you to succeed. Interesting class, but tests are difficult. You MUST do the work to prepare for them.
Prof. Spooner is a great teacher. She takes the time to help the students understand what she is teaching. Her enthusiasm for her subject is infectious. She makes you want to come to class. I doodle in all of my classes except hers!
Good teacher, great communication. Make sure you read and study and you will do just fine!!
Well, don't believe everything you read on here. Interesting class, difficult quizes that are taken online that are very difficult. Test are very hard. I personally would not take her again. No study guides, lots of note taking, power point that is just a outline of each class, but you have to fill it all in. Lots of reading too!
Dr. Spooner has great enthusiasm for the subject and her lecture style makes class fly by. Highly recommend her. Enjoys student participation. online quizzes prep you for exams.She enjoys teaching & interaction with students. Read text & take notes & you'll do fine. Engaging personality & very approachable.
Spooner is mildly entertaining. Not hard, lots of reading. Online quizzes though but final is not comprehensive...which makes it easier. All ya gotta do is show up and take notes and you'll be fine
Took internet class. Tough but not impossible to do well if you do what she asks of you. She loves the subject and keeps it interesting enough that you don't get bored.
Very clear and direct. Easy to follow and easy on the eyes.
Spooner is a pretty good online teacher. Work load is decent and clearly laid out. Final is tough and she did not provide a review. She also assigned work during dead week. Worst thing about this class was the book Psyc by Palladino which was exquisitely pathetic.
Tons of quizzes with what feels like an endless amount of questions, and hard to retain them all. Exams cover the same as quizzes, if you know the quiz you will know the exam. The teacher doesn't give extra credit and is a tough grader. There is a ton of reading and is necessary in order to make a good grade on quizzes and exams.
The teacher seems to care and love what she is teaching. I have to say that this teacher is tough, I am taking this class for the second time. First time I made an B. This time I made a c. I would not recommmend this teacher. She is very tough, gives you lots of assignments. YOu have to read allot. The exams are very difficult.
She is really passionate about her teaching the student's. That makes all the difference. Very useful info from class for life skills. Would recommend,not easy, but if you do the work you get rewarded for it...
Excellent class!
She's amazing! Loved her class!! Super nice and easy if you study!
Intensive reading. Test questions are not worded like in the book. For the Final Exam,she said the online test questions would go in order according to the reading assignments covered over the semester and there would be approximately 10 questions per chapter. The test was no where near what she described in the syllabus. She's tough!
Very hard class but interesting! She is very fair. I had one low score and the others were great. I emailed and asked what I could do to improve my grade and she dropped the one low score! Awesome teacher. I took her online but wish I had taken it inperson.
Great class!! Teacher really knows her material & instucts well. Tests are a bit hard but as long as you study and show up you will do fine. I had a severe life crisis in this class & prof spooner was very understanding & helpful in my desire to still pass the class despite my attendance. Highly recommend!!! Everything is by the book btw
Spooner is simply amazing. Very thorough and interesting lectures. The tests are all comprehensive, so print the lectures and study all terms and concepts you don't know. The objective isn't to know it, but UNDERSTAND it. She is so helpful. I accidentally missed the final & she still let me take it w/o points off! Class takes effort- made an A+
Spooner is AWESOME! Really knows her stuff, loves the subject, great with the students, has a good time with the lectures/class time, and can be a goofball! If you have any questions or concerns she is there for you! Loved taking this class with her!
She talks about everything but the actual subject matter.
AWESOME INSTRUCTOR. I enjoyed the way she lectured. She is very helpful and is willing to work with you. All test have been online and you can take it as many times as you like. Very easy. She is always in a great mood with a smile on her face. I recommend taking her if you can. I plan on taking her for other Psyc classes. TAKE HER class :)
I had never had psych before I came into college, but she explained the material so good that I passed all the test and quizzes without a problem! For incoming freshman or first timers in college I HIGHLY recommend!! She is a fun teacher!!!
Mrs. Spooner is amazing! I would reccomend her to anyone taking this class. She stays up to date with blackboard and is very helpful with college questions. She has plenty of assignemnts to do to get an A. Reccomend her 100%!!
Mrs. Spooner is an awesome teacher! I was afraid of this course honestly but Mrs. Spooner is so upbeat and positive that she made this class really good. As long as you show her that you are really trying to do well she will go above and beyond to help you the best she can. I love her class!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Do not miss class! The leture is everything!
Very through with instructions. Always gets to your emails within a reasonable amount of time.
Omg this teacher is super energetic. Loves to get the class involved in lecture which helped a lot. She is super fun and makes the material easy to understand!
Dr spooner is a great prof. I took her class online, she will do anything to help you. I was hoping I can stay with her for psyc 2304 but she does not teach it. Clap clap spooner you are the best
Has been nothing but trouble with this lady. She makes this class out to seem like everyone is a psychology major and its just an introduction class. DO NOT TAKE!!!
Took psyc twice before - used same book, but spooner made it make sense so I could pass. Always was available. I had to work, but this time it paid off.
Dr. Spooner is a nice woman in general, although I didn't enjoy her teaching personality. She was not clear on the point with topics. There were many quizzes which were very time consuming. The tests were close to unbearable. No extra credit. I studied countless hours each week. I got a very low grade, first C... Much disappointment. Don't take!!!
Being an online class you wouldn't think the professor would always be available for help, but Spooner makes sure you know she is always there to help and answer any questions you have. The assignments are easy to understand. You definitely need to read the assigned readings to do well on the quizzes, but as long as you read you should get an A.
She was a really awesome teacher, even online I felt that she was always willing to help. The class was pretty easy, just read your chapters that are assigned.
Like any college class, if you do the work, you get good grades. Susan Spooner was really great with my summer 2 online class. I would take any of her classes again.
Dr. Spooner was an amazing teacher! I took her Gen Psych class online during the summer and it was not bad at all! You will have a lot of reading but if you do the reading and stay on top of it then you will do just fine on the tests! TAKE THE QUIZZES LIKE 10 TIMES! They are basically the test questions! I would recommend Dr. Spooner for sure!
Took the class online, and at first was disappointed that all of the assignments were not available as soon as the class was open. I generally prefer self paced study. But the class covers a lot of material, and we were assigned sections at a decent pace. The class does require the Respondus LockDown Browser for exams, which I think is a pain.
Very responsive to messages, and very helpful. Lists assignments as blackboard announcements so it's very easy to keep track of everything. LOTS of reading, and if you don't read, you won't pass. Tests and quizzes were fairly challenging, but not bad. Would recommend.
Took Dr Spooner for Pscy 2301 over Summer II. It was a lot in a short amount of time but it was a great course! She spelled everything you needed to do out in the syllabus. Lots of reading. Gave lots of quizzes that you could take multiple times, which you need to do bc they are the exam questions as well! Very pleased and would take her again!!
She is an excellent teacher, yes her quizzes are a little difficult, but name one whose arent. you have to be in class to pass
I LOVE Spooner's class! She is clear about what will be on the test. At the beginning of every class she reviews what you have studied. She helps you with your tests & homework. I'm not afraid to ask for help! Spooner puts things to where I understand the concepts. I wish more teachers were like her. She puts on awesome music before class starts.
Professor Spooner is AMAZING! She's funny and incredibly smart and I felt like she truly cared about my education. I definitely recommend her class. It's a little tough but it's worth it and the explains things thoroughly. You will need the textbook.
Love Spooner she is amazing makes class interesting and makes you want to go to class , she lays everything out very clear I wish she taught more PSYCH classes . I would totally recommend her if you like things explained with every detail on what will be on test, what you need to know etc. She gives quiz online that you can retake until you pass!
Professor Spooner is awesome, she will always be there to help. She has so much energy that it is contagious. you will love her lectures. you will never fall asleep in her class.
She is probably the BEST psychology teacher at Mclennan no doubt. Very straight forward and to the point and her energy is amazing during the lectures. Tests were EXACTLY like her lectures so if you take good notes and do the quizzes u are guaranteed to pass the tests and this class with flying colors!
Spooner was awesome and was always there when I needed help on something! Definitely had to work for my grade but overall she's a great teacher
Just a few words.. SHE IS AMAZING!!! GREAT TEACHER AND WOULD TAKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!
Dr. Spooner is one of the best professors I've had. She is really passionate about her field, and it shows. She is very clear in her expectations, and is very organized. She was ALWAYS there to help and responded efficiently. This is not an easy A class, but she is super helpful, and wants her students to succeed.
Spooner is literally THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! I'm am not good at doing school work but she worked with me and made things so much easier!
Spooner is literally THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! I'm am not good at doing school work but she worked with me and made things so much easier! She also lets you take quizzes online and they arnt due until a week later and after class.
The tests were tough because it was an online flextrack class, so you had about a month less to do the coursework. I really liked the course, I learned a lot and wanted the course to continue.
Honestly easy class if you have a lot of free time. She loves to use learnsmart, (there is a 100 questions there.) Then a quiz over the chapter you are reading that week. If you have a exam, its also do that week! TAKE NOTES!! The questions come from the reading(ls.)
She is a wonderful teacher!! I really enjoyed her class!! The book is included online. I took over summer and she was very clear on expectations. Her tests could be tricky, but she was there if you got stuck.
Spooner is an excellent teacher. I would definitely take her again. Textbook use is mainly online, no physical book used. Tests are a little tricky, but if you study you will be fine. I took during summer semester and finished with a 98%
I took this course not knowing much about it. I enjoyed the class and learned so much. If I had to pick a course again, I would pick this one. As long as you make a effort and do the homework you should be okay.
Prof Spooner is seriously my new best friend. She is an amazing woman with an amazing class! Do not pass this up!! Definitely have to work hard to get the grade you want, but it's worth it and she is ALWAYS there to help you. Loved having the chance to be her student. She will answer any questions you have to make you successful! Very caring woman.
Dr. Spooner is absolutely amazing. She does have a lot of homework and there is quite a bit of reading but she really makes you understand the material. I have taken her twice now and I am very sad I have no more classes to take with her. She is also very helpful she will go to the ends of the earth to help you. TAKE HER CLASS!!
I honestly have nothing to say. Most of the work you do on your own, and she provides you with the necessities of what you need to read for that week. So basically just be prepared to do a lot of reading and teach yourself.
I loved taking Spooner's class! She is such a nice lady and she really cares about each student. She will help you in any way she can. Class isn't hard. The homework is long, but not difficult. Tests are easy if you study the quizzes. Would recommend to everyone!
SHE IS AWESOME! she definitely makes lectures interesting and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this professor!
AMAZING professor! All of her lectures are interesting, fun, and interactive. She cares about everyone in her class, and will help you, just ask! Posts helpful study materials. She has many grades so it's hard to not at least make a B. Pay attention, take good notes, and do the learn smart and you will pass and enjoy the class. Recommend everyone!!
Dr. Spooner is wonderful! I took her online and things came up frequently during the semester, but she was completely understanding! She reset exams every time I asked. This is a very easy course to take online. I had the pleasure of speaking with her over the phone a few times and she is super sweet and you can tell she really cares. GREAT PROF!
Dr. Spooner was great! I just took her class to fill my behavioral sciences credit, but she was great. Anytime I had a conflict, she worked with me. You get 4 tests and a final. I found that the quizzes helped a lot when it came to studying for the tests. I would definitely take her class again and recommend it to anyone.
She is a fantastic professor, she gives you lots of opportunity to improve your grade and she genuinely cares about her students. Her lectures are interactive and fun. And her tests are evenly spaced out and assignments aren't anxiety inducing unless you procrastinate. Just be prepared to study and don't skip class.
I love the way her online course is set up. She posts an update every Monday morning and tells you what all is due for the week. Very easy to navigate and the quizzes and tests are easy if you do a little studying on Connect. She is also extremely nice and really wants her students to succeed. I would definitely take her again.
Great teacher loved her. Wish I could take her again!!! She is a great teacher and she cares about you and your future. She will help you understand anything you don't.
Don't take this class online, please don't. There's weekly chapter readings that are 30 pages long with four 100 question tests that cover A TON of material at once. If you can, take her face-to-face, it's a whole different experience.
Take notes durning the lecture most of the tests come from the notes taken in class. Very easy to commuincate with and is willing to help you. You will love this instrcutor and will be able to pay attention in class because her lectures are amazing.
Absolutely my favorite professor, very helpful and makes lectures bearable.
I love Dr Spooner. every day of class was interesting and hilarious and she took time to know each student in our large class. if you take good notes and read the textbook and make an effort to get to know her, not only will you do well in class, you will make a connection with someone who believes in you no matter what. she is amazing!
She is willing to help you. Communication is key.
Took this class in a six week summer course. Only about three quizzes a week and four exams total. Super easy class!
Easy A! No papers and quizzes are a breeze. The majority of the course is participation grades. This course was super interesting and made me want to major is PSYC! Highly recommend this course!
This was a very easy A. I took the online class and it was a breeze. She is helpful if you have questions. 13 Smartbook assignments (very easy), 7 quizzes (about 25 ?'s each), 4 exams (100 ?'s each), one final, all open book. 2 hours for all timed exams, some aren't timed though. Overall, very easy and would recommend to anyone.
I love Dr Spooner! Take her class!!! Shes a great professor. I was in a hybrid blended class and although the in person part was Monday morning at 8:00 AM I still loved her class. She is very interactive and cares. She will tell you everything you need to know and her homework assignments are straightforward! I wish she taught all of my classes!
I love Dr. Spooner! She is very clear about her work and she is always on time. She always responds to your emails and has very interesting videos to watch.
Dr. Spooner is amazing! She only tests what she lectures on. Meaning something was planned to be covered but wasn't by the test day it won't be on the test. Does provide lecture slideshows on brightspace but truly only uses them as a guide so take good notes. Extremely good at communicating the lesson plan and when assignments are due. HW not hard
Professor Spooner is one of the best professors I've ever had. She makes me excited to go to class. Her lectures are always very engaging and she is a very nice and caring person overall. She is also very encouraging and will praise you for a lot. Take her class. You won't regret it
I was not sure how I felt about psychology, but Spooner made everything worth listening to, creates an open class where any questions are worth asking. If she doesn't know an answer, she will let you know then research it! She shows interest in who you are as a person along with helping you with anything even if it is not related to the course.
If you're needing psychology TAKE DR. SPOONER!! She is an amazing professor that loves her job and wants everyone to succeed! Test are over class notes but you still need to read the chapters in your online textbook. Such a fun class would 100% take it again!
This professor was clearly passionate about the topic she teaches. Class was fun and not too difficult if you read the chapters and practice with the smart book assignments each week. She promptly and kindly responded to emails, and left me feeling inspired to be going into psychology. I wish I could take her for multiple courses!
Dr. Spooner is one of my absolute favorite professors that I've ever taken. She clearly loves and enjoys what she teaches. She really cares for her students and wants you to succeed. She made the class very enjoyable. Sometimes there is a lot of homework, but it isn't too difficult and really helps on the tests.
Professor Spooner was readily available anytime I had questions about the class. She was quick to respond and seemed to truly care about me as a student. Re-work your quizzes to study for the test, you'll do great!
Professor Spooner was awesome! She really cares about the material and all of her students, and she truly wants to help everyone succeed. She was also very encouraging throughout the semester, and her coursework was relatively easy and fun to complete. I cannot recommend her class enough.
All I can say is she is an AMAZING professor! You can tell she genuinely cares about your well-being, the class is fairly easy, you're set up to suceed. Typical class day is a slideshow lecture (very easy to follow along and take your own notes) and a weekly smartbook. Tests are VERY easy, and usually about 50 questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
She wants everyone to succeed. Test are 100 questions, no extra credit offered.
I took online PSYC 2301 under this professor. Loved this professor! She gave a very very reasonable work load and all assignments and pretty much impossible to not make a 100 on. Her test are long (100 questions) however, there is only 4 and they aren't proctored and are fairly easy. Best college course I have taken so far!
