There is a lot of information to learn so you need to put a lot of your time into reading and studying. Tests are multiple choice, diagrams, and a few short answer. You need to understand the material and apply it, not just memorize it. Prof. Todd is nice and will answer questions. Just remember this is a course that requires time and effort!

Lectures are clear and well structured. She uses Moodle a lot and uses it better than a lot of professors. Go to class, take notes, read the chapters, and you will be fine.

She loves what she does and love the subject matter. Class involves a lot of focus but it is very interesting and tests are easy if you study the study questions she provides. Allowed to use notes for the last 10 minutes of exams. Gives extra points for attending PAL sessions.

Dr. Todd is good at what she teaches - she knows it all very well, and is enthusiastic about teaching. If it wasn't for the PAL sessions, I'm not sure how I would have done in the class. She gives you extra credit on tests for going, and they really do help in more ways than one Overall good professor

She is super great. Extremely passionate about her work and helping students understand and gain interest in it as well. I would definitely take her again. There are only 6 tests and online quizzes, definitely not hard if you pay attention. She also gives extra credit for attending PAL sessions

Doctor Todd is amazing. Not all teachers really have that thrive for teaching and she does. She is funny, easy going and really engages you in the class. There are 6 tests including the final-which you don't have to take if you have an A and online homework quizzes, that's how your graded. its not super easy but its manageable and she is great!!!!!

I was so nervous about biopsychology, but it was great with Professor Todd. Even though the material is semi-difficult, if you put in the effort, you'll get an A. There is a decent amount of work- 3 forums a week, but those are easy A's, and like 4-5 exams. If you put in the effort, you cannot fail this class. She is great! I love her!

She records her lectures in 2-4 min modules for the online class. Take notes on these and use the book and you're golden. There are anywhere from 45-60 modules in each unit. 6 exams, 6 units. Forum posts- 3 per week - one main & two replies. Easy 10 points every week. Keep up and don't wait until last minute for mods.

Took this class online. Weekly forums with a minimum of 3 posts. If you keep up with this 10 pts of extra credit . Modules are pretty short but there are quite a few so make sure to pace yourself. Exams are multiple choice and easy as long as you listen to the modules. Was an interesting class & I feel that I have learned a lot from it.

If you're looking for an easy A with little effort, I wouldn't suggest Dr. Todd. I'm not a PSYC major and I did fine, but she has a very in-depth online class with virtual lectures, readings, and very long tests. I took this over the summer and consumed a lot of time compared to other online classes I've taken.

Dr. Todd is such an asset to BSU! She is accessible, flexible and definitely engaged with her students. Her classes are tough, but if you study you will do well. She is very student oriented and responds very quickly to student requests. I would definite take her again! If you want to learn, you will!

Love her, but her work load is hard. I took her biopsych online and you have tons of modules. If your not able to sit for up to 6 hours a week or have ADD dont take this class. Her tests are hard. but liked her. She is very helpful.

This professor is extremely unorganized. Contradicts herself. Her tests are long and hard. For each unit theres almost 25-30 modules you have to watch in order to get a decent grade on the tests. You have to post 3 discussions and 2 responses every week and she grades those extremely hard even when it is opinion based. Would not take again.

Her class is definitely in my top 5. It is a lot of material & a lot of work, but the topic is fascinating. You are given everything you need to be successful, but if you don't put in the time & effort you will struggle. She responds to all posts & provides great feedback. I honestly learned a lot. In my opinion - great course, great instructor!

I took this class online, she recorded her lectures one year so you can learn from her actually teaching the material instead of just having to teach yourself like in a lot of online classes. If you havent taken an online class before, Professor Todd gives an excellent online course.

I learned so much from her! Yes the class was very demanding and very intense but if you are willing to put the work in you will get ALOT out of this class. I took her online biopsych class and I still talk about some of the things I learned almost daily. She REALLY knows her stuff! Best online class I've ever taken.

I took this class online, and Dr. Todd was very quick to respond to emails, which was very helpful. The class was mostly done through lecture mods online, and it was very easy to go at your own pace. There are 5 exams, and they are all easy as long as you actually watch the videos she posts. I never looked at the books she suggested, dont get them

Prof. Todd is a very nice individual, however, online courses are not her strong suit. She assigns a LOT of modules to listen, a LOT of material to read, and a LOT of quizzes(that are not easy). Her blackboard page is organized in a confusing way and it took me weeks to be able to find everything assigned, as things are all over the place.

Multiple folders of modules, weekly stress mods. Graphic quizzes and 3 quizzes per unit. 6 units total. Discussion boards . Heavy workload but multiple attempts on each quiz. So if you make the attempt to do good you will.

This quickly became one of my favorite classes. Susan has an immaculate grasp of the subject matter. Lots of lecture videos, but they're short and very manageable. Quizzes were pretty easy, 30 to 35 questions each, and unlimited attempts. Due dates are easy to lose track of, so use your time wisely. Definitely recommend!

Professor Todd was amazing! She has so much knowledge about the topic she teaches, and explains everything in great detail. Class was easy to manage with 4 others; monthly discussion posts (300+ words) and weekly quizzes. Super easy grader, and you can get ec as long as you don't miss any deadlines. Very caring about her students and is accessible.

She's worth taking a class with. Only thing I didn't like was when she has questions listed, shell ask 3-4 more extra questions to go with that questions so one response alone can be a little lengthy. Overall shes awesome and works with you and cares alot.
