Great Professor. Classes are fun, and she makes you interseted in what your learning. VERY approachable and totally nice.

lota material to cover and memorize
Wonderful Instructor!! I luv her class..She uses lots of visuals and you do learn lots!! You'll do well if you follow her instructions..she tells u what u need to know..A for sure!! GO FOR IT!!
Her lectures are so interesting. She seems to really enjoy teaching.
Best teacher at Kwantlen!! Makes lectures interesting and her tests aren't that bad. She is so friendly. I just wished she taught English instead of Psych. b/c all the English teachers should be fired
if u study her notes, then u can have good marks~
Her lecture is clear, notes is helper. As long as you study, you won't get worse mark.
She gives great fill in the blank notes. her test are fair and she teaches very well and gives you nemonic devices to remember what is taught in class. Take her!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Phillips is the best teacher I've ever had. Period.
Very good teacher, whos teaching style involves watching video clips almost every class,she also gives out informative handouts which minimize notetaking
if u study the handout, a grade of B is a must
This woman knows how to teach! Has great overhead notes, supplements material with videoclips, and bases her test questions mostly on what she herself teaches. Not reliant on the textbook. Keeps class interesting and over all great prof.

Dr. Phillips explains everything, and shows videos to help you understand. At times the lectures are boring, but if you study the material that is given you'll definitly do well.
The narcoleptic puppy video is really funny! Some guy in our class says stupid comments non-stop....lucky for you he won't be in your class!
She is a helpful and responsible professor. If you do study, you will get paid back~
A smiley teacher!Very clear on the material,and cover everything you need to know =)Study=Marks
Very good teacher. She is easy as long as you study what she tells you to study.
Dr. Philips is the best instructor I've ever had. I've learned more from her than any other teacher. She is extremely organized and her classes are interesting. She doesn't try to trick you on exams: they're based on what she teaches and what you know.
such a cute teacher! she's always smiling and is constantly going the extra mile to help out her students. If you read the pages she tells you to and study the notes she gives you'll do fine. Great first teacher for your first psych course.
Best teacher I have ever had! She gives the best notes and explains everything fully! If only she was teaching Psyc 1200! I highly recommend you take this instructor!
This is the easiest teacher Ive ever had! She is really nice and gives tons of examples in class. Her tests are NOT hard, just make sure you do the readings! Minimual homework with great results! If you want an A+ class for sure, take it with this lady!
All the comments that she is "an easy teacher" is a testament to her great ability to teach what could otherwise be a difficult and boring course. She's organized, thorough, and cares about students. one of the best, if not THE best teachers aro
sometimes a little boring but that's because she's so thorough... if you study the notes/handouts a high B for sure... if you figure out her weird textbook questions A+++
she tells you exactly what you need to know and never has any suprises. She is also super friendly and helpful. Honestly, if you study the material she tells you to you will get an A!!! she's awesome.
Super nice, interesting, and damn easy. Did an average amount of studying and never scored lower than 93% on the exams. I wish she would teach english!
Great prof!!! good course!!
absolutely incredible. her notes are so neat and orgainzed and always tells u what will be on the tests. no surprises and gives u pages 2 read.
Well most of it's already been said, outstanding professor. To re-emphasize, her class is only easy because she teaches so well.
Guys two words to help ya: HIGHLY RECOMMANDED; clear lectures, fill in the blank notes& less book reading! Had an A. Take her
Fill in the blank notes, gives you pages for reading,& good lectures. Highly recommanded, had an A. take her or you will regret
great notes. great teacher. highly recommended!
super great & nice! I love this professor. Too bad I haven't seen her teaching any 2000 or upper level, or I'd take all of them for sure. :)
Super fun, lots of interesting videos, pretty basic tests (multiple choice and fill-in-the-blanks), very willing to help if you need it.
She is the nicest teacher at Kwantlen. Super friendly, interesting and fun. You'll watch a load of cool videos. Her tests are easy- only A+ I got at Kwantlen.
super easy to follow, super nice. provide all notes without the need of textbks.
Awesome teacher. explains things very well and gives good notes. tests are pretty easy. makes jokes in class, very easy going!
Wow everyone rates preety easy. i thought this teacher was one of the worst i ever had Easy and nice? my A**! Shes mean and wont bother helping you if you ask her for help. i hated her. i did fine in the class without going because i basically had to teach myself! stay away! not good teacher!
No Comments
stay away! thats all i have to say
very good teacher...her notes are so detail..and u cannot belive it...test is easy...just have to study the notes and will get a B
Couldn't have been nicer, easier or more helpful.
"Isn't THAT interesting!" Get used to hearing it... Easy marks, she's nice, and the class isn't too boring. She's a little flakey though and she talks REALLY fast and not terribly clear. Either way, Susana is great and you won't regret taking the class. I barely tried and I got 95.
wicked teacher!!! honestly...the best teacher ive had at kwantlen...her class is easy but only because she teaches soooo well..shes sweet and helpfull...and her tests are straight forward..wish we had more teachers like her in kwantlen!!!
Best prof ever. She's sweet, patient, & a VERY nice person. I'm bipolar & have a hard time being a "normal" student - she accomodated. I had a huge panic attack on exam day (nerves) & she calmed me down & let me take it with her second class two days later. I am majoring in psych now because of her.
Great teacher, gives notes so you just have to fill in the blanks while she's teaching. Exams are easy if you read the notes and do a few assigned readings. She has an annoying tone of voice but it's worth it, she's a great teacher.
She's a really good teacher ...all tests are in MC..only one or two written answers....no HW, no presentation, no projects ...provide good notes..always shows interesting videos ...and she's really really nice !!~
What a good teacher. Those who rated her badly must get low mark because YOU GUYS DON'T STUDY, and just memorize things illogically. Basically you have to study hard to achieve to an A-level. Good luck... you will have lots of TV shows if you take her. Wish you guys all best
Great course. Instructor's notes and presentations very effective. A lot to memorize but most stuff is interesting.
Susana is a reli nice & helpful person. Her way of teaching save u time to read the textbook... Dun miss any class u already get a B+ on ur tests. Plus, read the study case from the textbook will give u [A} on da tests. 100% Recommend to take her class.. Fun and Easy!
One of the best prof I've had so far! I seriously recommend her. She's willing to help and explain you have problems and her notes are excellent. She goes through the materials so well that you shouldn't have a problem with the tests (MC). As well, she shows short clips of videos so you don't have to watch the boring bits but long enough to underst
Very Very nicee...u dun get any hmk, participation, in her class...tests r very easyy...u jus study da notes...and u get B for suree!! and she gives 1 mrk bonus in every tests to her students...i will definitely recommand her!!!
Shes an awesome teacher. Just attende all her classes and ull do good. Study her notes well and do the reading from the Study guide she gives and youll do really good. Her notes to the point and she uses really good examples to help you remeber stuff. TAKE HER CLASS!!! hoping to get her to 1200
if you are planning on taking Psyc take her class. She is the nicest person. Her notes are so organized i barely had to study because everything was so clear. Just pay attention and speak up a lot she loves it when people participate.
If you didn't get an A quit university right now because you just might be an idiot
EXCELLENT PROF!!!^^AWESOME class!!!She's very nice~~She gives study guide before exam(really helpful)!!Highly recommanded~~:)
she's an awesome teacher!! her notes are so clear, and she shows you short videos so you can understand the material more clear.She gives test outlies and its very helpful. Short answer questions comes directly from the outline she gives you!
Susanna is so sweet and funny, you can tell she really cares about her students. Would definitely recommend her.
Great
She is the best professor you can ever get at Kwantlen! She cares about her students a lot and she makes my first psyc course extremely entertaining with her great sense of humour and her straight up positive attitude when she teaches the class. As other have mentioned, she showed us a lot of video clips to help us learn the material. A++
Very good professor. Health Psych is very informative. She teaches it with great enthusiasm. Great course.
She is really sweet. She applies knowledge to real life, you have to study and pay attention. Then, you will learn for sure. She is clear and nice... Take it!!!!
She is very nice, but I think she does not speak very well in the class. All M-T questions in the final, so the marks are very very objective that you can't argue for the answer at all...
This is a great teacher to take for psych!! She is passionate about the subject, and really wants you to do well. She relates a lot of stuff to Friends, Seinfeld, and Frasier which is GREAT!! She has all notes prepared on the overhead, and gives u a thorough study guide including practice questions which generaly show up on the test =) Take Her!
This is a great teacher! You can tell she loves teaching Psychology. She well-prepares you for tests, helping you a lot. I would definately recommend her as a teacher for any psychology class.
If i was to sum Susana in one word it would be FANTASTIC! she really cares about what she teaches, she makes sure you know exactly what to study for her test's. She also uses a lot of video's to really show you what she is talking about (each video would be like 5 min and there would be a few video's a class). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
GOOD teacher... my grade suffered cuz i didnt read the text or prepare for tests properly so READ THE TEXT and study for tests and you will do awesome
She is GREAT. Other than the 5-6 questions base on the text, tests are fully based on her notes. No confusion. Also, she always give one extra mark for everyone in case of misunderstanding of certain question.
Lots of notes, helpful test preparation materials, detail guidelines for written assignment, class is not boring as she used a lot of videos and samples.
Other than her annoying tone of voice, she is very nice and willing to teach. She tries to make jokes to help you memorize the information. Her notes are very clear and precise, yet it's kinda squished together. Overall she is highly recommended because her tests are fairly easy. Mostly based on textbook and notes
awesome teacher!!shes very helpful and a very easy class!! would recommend her!!
She is a extremely nice teacher! I love her so much!!!she understands students well and provides precise materials for students!Her eaxms are easy if you study hard on texts and notes!strongly recommend!
VERY awesome teacher, but her notes are fill-in-the-blank, which, in my opinion, are very difficult to study with. But she is very fair and kind, she knows her stuff. tests are reasonable
She's a good prof who makes classes fun. She's very helpful and knows her stuff. Very easy class. Most of the material is common sense and the stuff that's not is explained well. Highly recommended.
best psy teacher of all time.If u can't do well in her class, please, get out kwantlen, u dont belong here.
3 exams and 1 assignment...i just studied the Class Notes for the exams and didnt even study the Textbook and got an A+...Take this class for a GPA Boost!
She is funny in her own way. Shows interesting videos. Her tests are pretty easy as they directly follow the set of notes she gives out. Her voice and mannerisms are quite annoying however they take some getting used to.. seems to be strangely jittery all the time!
An excellent teacher, i have to say! She prepares lots of notes for us and she's very lenient! She also shows us video clips to illustrate her points. I recommend her for those wishing to take PSYC courses. very hard to find a nice teacher like her ^^
Would highly recommend Susana to those interested in Intro Psych. courses: very understanding lady. Took PSYC 1100/1200, got A-/B+. Lectures easy: video clips/FITB note handouts. Typically 2 MT & 1 final, all MC Scantron, based on notes/text readings. Min. 1 research essay. GPA booster w/ some effort needed. BOTTOM LINE: you get what you work for.
Dr. Philips is a fantastic professor and it was a pleasure to take her class. I wish she taught more!
Her exams are 30% each, all based on her notes and study guide. You have to understand the chapter then read her notes after and you'll ace the midterm. She's a really amazing person, she'll talk on forever. People who don't do well do not show up for class.
nice prof but difficult to understand..tests long and hard..a lot to study
This lady is a sweetheart! Very helpful, understanding, and clear. She provides you notes and you follow along and fill in blank spaces. Also, she assigns some pages from the chapters in textbook. 3 Exams and 1 assignment - Study and it's EASY! She's awesome!
She is very nice and sweet. Gives out fill in the blank notes. Bases all her tests off of the textbook and the handouts she gives so be sure to read the textbook. Very easy marker. Easy and fun course!
She is awesome!!!!her classes are interesting. The most great thing is that you do not need to write a lot, as she provides all the notes done for you. All her midterms and final exam are based on notes she gives. Definitely recommend her!!!!
She only uses the notes that she hands out in class for the exams. There is only 1 chapter that you have to read on your own. Otherwise...easy grade. She is a little hard to understand b/c she thinks faster than she talks. Overall, good teacher.
Susana is an amazing prof, she makes her lectures fun and interesting. Her notes are life. Literally. In order to get an A in her class you need to study the notes and skim over the textbook pages assigned. I would recommend her to anyone who wantsneeds to take this psychology course.
Pretty good. 3 exams, non-cumulative, and 1 research paper, 3pg. Exams are 60mc, 2 written, & bonus. The MC is super easy & tells you written ahead of time. Class notes are given. Some short txtbook reading is required. Research paper is graded very easy. Lectures are long but shes very passionate so they aren't boring. Engineering student & got A+
Susana is literally the most sweetest professor I have ever had. She tries her best to make class interesting by showing lots of real life examples and videos. She also shows the class funny videos before every break. She is really easy to talk to about assignments. She is a sweet soul and I wish she taught me every class.
Her lectures are very long, so be prepared to listen to her notes for the whole period of class but she'll prepare funny clips for you that people aren't fond of but I enjoy. She's really sweet and nice, she seems a bit flustered but she'll help you if you need it and give you missed assignments. Really helpful and would take again.
Susana is BOMB! Class is long but on topic and she covers material very clearly and efficiently. Shows videos to distract you and notes are provided in skeleton form. Exams are very fair and she gives exam outlines to prepare you. Textbook readings are mandatory to pass. REALLY nice lady, always helpful. Fair marker. Clear criteria. RECOMMEND.
REALLY awesome teacher! Classes are long but so worth it everything is provided in class for the 3 tests. Textbook reading is necessary. But other than that easy breezy course
Great prof!
Susana is a great prof! I was worried about taking an online course, but she makes the content easily understandable and she is very kind and caring as well. :) I would definitely recommend her and take her again. The psych1200 course has 3 exams and a written assignment. If you study, it is not hard to get an A in this course.
Lovely person, it was online but she made sure if you needed extra help she was available. Answers emails quickly, study hard for her exams but don't worry too much about doing well! Not hard to do well in her class if you put in the effort. No homework which was a bonus!
This prof is the kindest person I have ever met. She makes sure that everyone knows that she's there for help, even if you have questions about psychology in general. She makes the material easy to understand and she always plays cute animal videos before tests to ease peoples' anxiety. She has inspired me to continue with Psych. Take her classes!
She is so empathetic and warm. She gives clear notes and arranges classes by lectures and informative videos, which makes the course interest and easy. Three tests are associated with notes and assigned textbook readings. I really recommend she.
Susana's super chill and tests are easy as long as you read the textbook and notes especially. She's a pretty easy going prof and seemed really passionate about psych and applying the material to the real world. Would love to take her again. Best psych prof ever!
She's okay. Her exams aren't really based on the notes. But hey? If she's nice, who cares about the style of teaching
I took her in PSYC1200 and I do not regret it. Her lectures were structured in a way where you can retain the information. She always presents a few videos about each topic and she even includes humour pieces to get us to laugh. Super caring. Just do readings, share your ideas and you'll pass or even get an A/A+ with effort.
Amazing instructor! Really don't need to worry about anything if you go through her notes.
Took her online 1200 class. Her notes were easy to read and understand. I always felt fully prepared for her exams. There's a few questions from the text for the exam but I never read it and still did well enough. I found psych 1100 quite hard and was afraid to take another psych class but she made the class better in my case.
Took this class online 2 semesters ago. I honestly wasnt super excited to take this class initially but let me tell you, I learned a loooot of valuable info (which I now apply in my own personal life e.g. how to manage stress, why stress is bad for you etc.) Anyway, our class had 3 exams, 1 take home exam, & a group presentation
Great professor, her classes online were really easy and very informative. There is a lot of reading involved if you take online classes with her. She colour codes the titles and subtitles so it helps a lot to remember things. Although, it's usually pages of learning so get ready to read lots. Mini self-tests and one written assignment.
