She is very fun to listen to and her class is easy as long as you do the work. All of the tests are related to what you actually read in your book or hear in a lecture, nothing is a surprise as long as you read wht you're suppose to read. She's so sweet!

She is a great teacher. Very entertaining and makes class very interesting.

I hate school and just about every class puts me to sleep, but not this class. Tatiana has a fun approach to how she teaches and is very hard to stop paying attention to. Not to mention she is quite hot.

I’ve always hated school so it was an odd sensation when I first regretted that class was done for the day. Every time I'm in class I learn something & have a good laugh. She makes pretty good eye candy too.

no homework!

Great personality. A little hard to understand at times.

Great teacher. Lectures interesting. Very little homework. Tricky tests, lots of typos, but very easy to approach. Lots of passion for the subject of psychology and as a student I really valued that. I learned a lot from this class and would recommend this instructor to anyone.

I don't know why people have complained about her. She's always on-time and always prepared and ready to start talking. She's extremely enthusiastic about the subjects discussed, and ALWAYS ready to learn new things from her students during discussions. I totally recommend this teach if you want to have an intellectual lecture and participation.

She enjoys the topic she is teaching a lot! She goes off of powerpoints (which are what her tests are based off of), she has a enjoyable russian accent,laughs a lot and is prepared. Whats difficult about her class is the fact that you only get about 100 or so points total for the entire class, most points come from multiple choice tests.

Fun class,book not required.Multiple choice tests were over exactly what she taght us.ppt slides easy to follow and interesting videos shown to assist lecture.Highly recommend.No homework either...

Organized and enthusiastic about course; can do well if you study class notes. VERY STRONG personality--given to rudeness and putdowns of students in class--different people at different times. Encourages participation at beginning of semester, but then limits who & how much people contribute. No control of the chronic monopolizers/time wasters!

took her Winter of 07-08. She is very blunt and to the point and will not hesitate to BUST you out in class if you are texting, doing other homework, or she calls on you to answer a question and its aparent you haven't read the material.I like her straight fowardness, but can easily be taken offensive.

She was born to teach. She is passionate and really down to earth. I appreciated her sense of humor, and her humanness. I really liked psychology before I took the class and now I LOVE IT. I definately will take another one of her psychology classes.

Tatiana was extremely dynamic and interesting. I loved her Intimate Relationships class and used my book a lot. It's true that she is blunt, but frankly, she only pulled it out when the college students were acting like disorganized children who needed a babysitter, and I welcome someone who can keep the class moving forward. Highly recommend

This teach is amazing! Her passion for psychology is clearly shown during her instruction. Grade consists of 2 tests, 2 journal papers and 1 short wrap up paper. I wish all my teachers could be this way. Highly recommended!!

Tatiana has an eagerness and enthusiasm that is infectious. Students who are concerned with writing everything should not take her class. Constant discussions on everything and the class is an open environment for people to express themselves respectfully. She is VERY helpful in one-on-one conferences. Highly recommended.

The syllabus was extremely clear and I knew exactly what was expected and when assignments were due which was really helpful. She was very eager to help and encouraged us to call her but unsympathetic to whining. I would love to take a class from her again because the coursework was very manageable and class discussions were the best part of class!

Tatiana is great! I've taken as many of her classes as are offered at my campus. she teaches at PSU, too, so you can assume a higher quality of professor. You have to come to class and take notes. The book is pretty pointless, except for fact-checking and fun. Classes are lecture and discussion. She's my favorite prof yet!

A short lesson in Peurto Vallarta was very instructional

Fantastic! Not an easy class to coast through but a very knowledgeable teacher with a lot of passion for what she teaches. Even her rants are interesting, amusing and usually relevant. Hard work but well worth it.

I have taken many classes taught by Tatiana and I really enjoy her! She seems very scattered at first but she really knows what she is talking about and while she encourages discussion she will make sure it does not get too off-topic. Highly recommend!!!

My favorite teacher at PCC so far. She really loves Psychology. She will go on tangents and answer any questions a student will ask. The class was all lectures with tests we had to take for each chapter online. For a 9am class, the class was packed every time because everyone wanted to learn from her!

Tatiana is the type of teacher that may seem intimidating at first. But if taken in stride, you can learn a great deal from her! Her style is very lecture based and passionate-TAKE NOTES! I would say, however, that I would have liked feedback on the writing I did for her class. We turned papers in the last day and received our grades thereafter.

Tatiana is engaging and interesting to listen to, which certainly helped me get out of bed for her 9am class. She is extremely knowledgeable in her subject and presents most of the information in a very clear, and often humorous way. You will be expected to be mature and responsible enough to attend class regularly and take very good notes.

I wish more teachers were as passionate about the subject they teach as she is. She acutally wants students to be interested in learning the subject. People complain about her going on tangents. If all you wanted was a teacher who recited the text whats the use of going? Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. She does what she teaches.

She is an amazing teacher and her class is interesting and fun.

She is a very knowlegable teacher and is very passionate about her work. She uses humor and real life examples to get you thinking. I am an interactive learner and wish my classes had her oomph to it. She does make a night class a little sleepy with her rambling but there is a purpose to it. Everything she talks about has a purpose.

I took this class actually about 2 years ago but she stands out in my mind as one of the best teachers I have had. Yes she does talk about her personal life a lot but only to drive home point and it sticks. She has a passion for teaching. As long as you come to class, you'll get an A, easily.

Very knowledgeable instructor who has a lot of passion for her subject. Lectures were incredibly informative with tons of relevant research and outside info. Class discussion was lively and interesting. Answered my questions comprehensively. I took two of her classes and would take another from her without question.

Great Instructor. She has power point slides that you have to take notes on and study. Tests questions are off the slides. I didn't do excellent on the tests but still managed to recieve an A due to class participation. She has a no tolerance rule for being on your cell phone during class. I really enjoyed this class!

The tests in this course are easy if you read the whole chapter thoroughly. The discussions are a little more work, because you have to do independent research online, but only 5 out of the 9 are required, so you can pick which ones you do. She is pretty helpful, but not as much as I would like. I reccommend this course.

She is very intelligent and takes time to explain things if you ask. she also has exam prep sessions that were very helpful and made a big difference in my grades. FYI she has a noticeable Russian accent,however; it was fairly simple to understand.

Great teacher. Teaches off slides, but makes even boring classes interesting. weekly tests online straight out of the book, and the two major tests are from lectures. Pretty easy, and she does a great job teaching.

Amazing teacher, fantastic class, I really miss it! I learned so much, she doesn't waste any class time or ever let you leave early. Very thorough with the material and also funny.

Not a bad class, but not great either. It was mostly reading from the text and answering multiple choice questions on a weekly basis to make sure you did the reading. There are 3 optional discussions you can participate for extra credit, but they're not required. Really easy class, but I was a bit disappointed for such an interest subject.

No need to buy the latest edition textbook in the store. Just download the PDF older version online. I'm not the best writer, but as long as you meet her minimum word count requirements for posts and responses, she gives full credit. She's very reasonable.

I really enjoyed taking Tatiana's Human Development class! The exams are based off of her lectures so it's important to go to every class, take notes, and ask clarifying questions. If you do that, there's no way you won't get an A in the class. She's very knowledgeable and truly open minded. I wish she taught more Psych classes!

Quiz every week, 1 paper (via discussion board) every week with 2 response posts. Seems like a lot, but you only have to do 5 of the 9 discussion posts. So just chug through the first 5 weeks and chill for the rest of the semester. Quizzes - i would recommend a searchable eBook for obvious reasons (if you can afford it). Impossible to not get an A

Tatiana is a good professor. It first started slow but the class got better and better and the last 2 classes were so interesting and provocative. Weekly online quizzes but they're pretty easy, and the tests are based on her powerpoints. GO TO CLASS! And you'll do well. Highly recommend.

It was a very interesting class. She is very enthusiastic and well rounded in her presentations. You will learn a lot in this class! Go to class, and take good notes.; the exams are based off the lectures. And pay close attention to wording on exams . Quizzes are very cut and paste from text books, which means sometimes they can sound funny.

Tatiana is an excellent teacher, her class is purely lecture. She doesn't take role so you don't have to show up in order to pass. Everything is online, all her notes, quizzes and tests. You do nothing in class besides take notes and discuss.

No one should ever fail her class. She requires you to do your work and lists expectations. Plus, out of 100 required points, you get 26 possible extra credit points for doing discussions. If you get 100 percent on everything, you can have 126% by the end of the term. No one should ever fail. Great teacher. Learned a lot.

Most quizzes are online and are easy if you have the e-book pulled up to help you. Attendance is mandatory for test information, and make sure you take detailed notes.

Took this class online. She's pretty thorough and posts videos of her lectures. No papers required, but weekly discussions need to be well researched with appropriate cited sources, at appx 700 words with replies to 2 other students at 200 words each. 3-4 options for discussion topics, though. Weekly quizzes are easy - graded w/avg of 2 attempts.

This class was great, would definitely take from this professor again. If you are willing to do the work you will be able to get an A, as plenty of extra credit is offered.

Although this is an online class, she was always there for us, promptly. She gave up to 8% grade, which is a lot of make up our grade. Also, she gave 4-5 options for us to choose in each writing assignment. They're all from textbook and from your understanding of the material.

Dr. Snyder is simply the best professor I've ever had the privilege of being a student of. She will devote extra time for students, even in person. She helped me create a rough career-plan and do some academic goalsetting. The class is full of online lectures done by Dr. Snyder herself; I highly recommend them for everyone in her classes!

She is BY FAR my favorite professor I have EVER had! Attending class is mandatory because the mid-term and final are 100% based off of lectures (so take good notes and star what she says will be asked on the final). Extra credit is done in class, and the only homework is reading one chapter a week and then take an online quiz on it. She's amazing!!

Weekly quizzes (20-25 questions) over one chapter in book each week. Midterm and final over class material, so take notes! Fairly easy class!

Quizzes are based on the textbook readings and exams are based on the lectures from class. Most of the lecture notes will not be on the power points so you need to really listen. The textbook chapters are 30-50 pages each week. All the quizzes and exams are online through D2L. Her Russian accent takes a couple classes to get used to.

Super fast talker hard to keep up w. Def record her lectures!!!

Tatiana's class was so interesting. I took it online and was hard to get used to at first. I missed an assignment at the beginning and I explained to her that I work full time and was taking 3 other classes, she let me do the assignment for partial credit and I got an A in her class. Her essay assignments were great, she is open to opinions.

Great instructor. Her classes are interesting and I love that she questions everything(what we're taught and why we buy into it.) She is also very open minded and constantly encourages students to counter her opinions or the general class opinion. The final and midterm are based on class lectures so try not to skip. Quizzes are open book and easy.

I have had Tatiana for two terms now and she is absolutely wonderful. She makes the course material fun and it makes the work totally worth it. I would take more classes if she offered them!

I have had Tatiana for two terms now and she is absolutely wonderful. She makes the course material fun and it makes the work totally worth it. I would take more classes if she offered them! Tatiana is the best!

Only graded on 9 chapter quizzes(64% of grade) and any 3 discussions(11% each) the 4th is extra credit, and 3% on intro assignments and course eval, and 2% extra credit survey. THERE'S NO FINAL. You are NOT tested on the optional video lectures. Only chapters and their outlines are needed for the quizzes. I think I got 108% out of 113% possible.

LOVE HER. Her lectures are absolutely amazing, you can tell she really loves psychology. Theres literally no homework besides weekly online quizzes and online midterm/final. Highly recommend her if you love psychology and being involved in class discussions

Upon first glance at the her syllabus can be overwhelming, lots of reading form the textbook, quizzes, and lengthy discussion posts. But it turned out to be a very well organized and easy class to manage. Tatiana gives great feedback, grades easy if you put the effort in, and replies to emails quickly. Totally recommend Tatiana as a professor!

I took this class online and it was really easy. The quizzes were easy, just read the slides, participate in the discussion and replies, you will get an easy A.

Very easy class and super nice teacher. There are 3 required discussion essays and the 4th one can be done for extra credit. There are also weekly quizzes. Clear instructions are given for every assignment and great feedback.

Great teacher. Clear instructions up front, gives good feedback, willing to wor kwith you! 4 disc posts and weekly quizzes. Due dates were MONDAY so you have the weekend! The disc. posts are a bit of work, but not 'hard.' You need the book but don't have to use a disc or anything, so can buy it used! Not a difficult A if you do the assignments

Tatiana is a great instructor. Her lectures were very clear and she knew what she was talking about. Her online quizzes are fairly easy and the exams are not difficult as long as you take good notes. She lets you work in a group to take exams. Pretty much show up to class and take notes and you'll get an A. She doesn't babysit you for attendance.

Tatiana was such a great professor! The quizzes and exams are fairly easy as long as you show up and take notes. She helps you if you ask for helps she gave me really good advice. Her quizzes and exams are taken at home she allows us to get in groups to take them. I would definitely take it again.

Professor Snyder makes psychology easy to understand and more intriguing. Highly recommend this class. You really only have 3 large discussions and a quiz each week that 30 questions. The questions are not too hard and you get 2 attempts. Highly recommend. Oh and there's plenty of extra credit!

I really enjoyed this class! Her lectures are very well done, and I love how simple everything is. The entire course is made up of writing a few papers and taking weekly quizzes. I actually found that I learned more that way. Dr. Snyder is extremely caring. She will work with you if you need it. Take her! You won't regret it!!

This was an amazing class, I fell in love with psychology from her very first assignment to the very last quiz, she gives you plenty of time to read and take quizzes. Make sure you read your book and you will do fine. She is flexible and will give an extension if you really need one, you can tell she cares and wants her students to pass!

Tatianas online Psychology 201A class was awesome. Her class was structured nicely creating a fair work-life balance. Weekly quizzes which can be taken twice, & three big discussion posts through the term. No big midterm or final. Very fair grader & a very interesting class!

Really nice professor. Gave us her cell on the first day of class. Easily reachable. Quiz every week on textbook chapter but easily passed by skimming book then just treating it like an open book test. There are 3 essays in the class. She gives you 4 options ahead of time. You are allowed to choose 3 of the 4 which I thought was cool! Interesing!

This is a gem of an online class. It's well organized, straightforward, and the video lectures were a nice touch. Between the quizzes, papers, and discussions, I feel like I learned a ton but never felt stressed out or overworked. The professor seemed like a genuinely nice person as well.

DEFINITELY take this class if you need a social elective or want an easy A class. All exams/quiz are online and she gives so much opportunity for extra credit (optional)

Tatiana was great! Very responsive via email and was wanting to help however she could. She had optional video lectures with 2 weekly quizzes and overall 2 discussions you had to do. No papers were assigned. It was fairly easy, you just had to read the textbook! I enjoyed her video lectures too, definitely recommend watching those.

Tatiana is SO sweet and you can tell she really does go out of her way to help students. Even though the material can feel overwhelming, she would do anything she could to make sure we could succeed. I really wish I got the opportunity to take this class in person because the material is SO interesting. If you get that opportunity, take it!

Tatiana is so sweet and cares about your future. Works with students, listens to our needs and is like ALWAYS available. Her videos are helpful but are all over the place and vary in length, so look at the length of the videos before putting it off - there may be an hour long doc in there between 5 minute vids. I would absolutely recommend.

Tatiana is an amazing professor! From day one she makes you feel welcomed and comfortable, Professor Snyder takes time to support each student and to make sure that she is available to them for whatever they may need. She is a rare Professor who is smart, makes sure you learn while still caring about you as a person. Take her class if you can!

Dr. Synder is an exceptional professor. I have taken two courses and I wish I could take more! Dr. Synder engages students in discussion ( it's surprisingly fun) and empowers students to say what they feel. Assignments are appropriate, apply to "real life," and apply to in person lectures. I honestly can't say enough good things. Just register!

Tatiana is a great and sweet online instructor! This was my first fully online course, and the class was very well organized from day 1. In my experience there are 3 discussion (papers) for the term. Two are required, but one is extra credit if you need the extra points. Plenty of extra credit opportunities. You will need your textbook for quizzes.

Passionate about what she teaches. Lots of lectures, but very informative. Pay attention and do your work and you wont have a problem passing.

I liked Tatiana's class. The D2L shell was very nicely set up and the instructor's lectures were optional. Plus the tests were super easy. I would just read the textbook chapter and then take the quizzes. We did have two required discussions throughout the term (9-10 paragraphs) plus a gen ed required assignment.

The class was easy, straightforward, and interesting. I would read through the textbook and skip the pre-recorded lectures and this was more than enough to be successful in the course. Some of the writing assignments were time consuming but there were only a few of these throughout the term and she was very generous with grading. Recommended!

Snyder's class is challenging its content (and there's a lot of it) but she makes every effort to make sure you feel supported and successful. She is easy to reach and grades very fair. She offers lots of different avenues to digest course content. Overall I thought she was a fantastic professor who really cared about students doing well!

Tatiana was the most amazing teacher I have ever taken. She had wonderful lectures, she was incredibly kind, and she really cares about her students wellbeing. Her emails were the highlight of my week. The coursework is easy if you are willing to put time into it. I recommend reading all of the assigned chapters in the book, you will learn a lot.

Professor Tatiana was a great instructor. At heart, she is empathetic while also professional about teaching you loads and loads of content in a 10-12 week frame. From the very beginning, she made it clear that she was there to help! Take her class if you can!

Tatiana was an amazing professor. Class tends to go over often but only because she had so much extra input that was pivotal to the future quizzes / exams. I took her class online over zoom and sometimes I would get off track due to the 1hr and 30 mins of sit down note-taking. Despite it all she is amazing, she knows her stuff!!!

Professor Tatiana is amazing. Her psy215 class consists of weekly quizzes based on the textbook, 1 midterm, and a final. Her exams were based on the lecture so either attend meetings and take good notes or look at the PowerPoint when studying. she also encourages students to get into groups to take quizzes and exams together which was great!

Amazing teacher, she cares about what she teaches. This is for the students taking this class because it seems fun and easy and just need credits...I wouldn't recommend this class. There are quizzes every week and three 2.5-pg papers you have to write. Took this combined with some pretty hard classes and it became less enjoyable for me.

textbook was able to be found online. Tatiana lets you text her if you have questions and she replies quite quickly. It's a lot of work, but an easy A as long as you complete everything. Also, If you have a 90 in the class before the final assignment, you don't have to do the final assignment :D

I loved Tatiana, she was very nice her course was very lecture heavy but it all made sense. Like yes there was a lot but if you just followed along (im like a class A procrastinator) It was super easy! She was very readily available by text and extended one of my discussion posts. Would 1000% take a class with her again. Very great teacher!

Tatiana was so fun to talk to and learn from. She really cares about every subject we talk about in class! Lectures really are absolutely mandatory in order to get the content for the midterm and final. She has opportunities for extra credit, especially if you're comfortable being a notetaker for the class which I really enjoyed doing!

Tatiana is a good instructor but she is pretty strict when it comes to her grading criteria. The first few weeks of this course are very assignment-heavy as you have to do a big two-part assignment but it's worth it as there is necessarily no final or midterm. There are 2 required discussion posts and weekly readings and quizzes.

Tatiana's class is lecture-heavy but engaging. With regular studying and using unstuck AI for exam prep, it's an A-worthy course. Just stay on top of the work and you'll do well.

Tatiana is a good teacher. Her class is very lecture heavy and she has weekly quizzes and a Midterm and Final exam which both are based off her lecture material. Weekly quizzes are based off the Book. She does NOT accept late work on assignments or tests. So you have to make sure you are on top of it. I would recommend her.

Tatiana does a great job with this course structure. Assignments, deadlines, and grading criteria are made clear. The course has a pretty heavy workload in the first half of the term between the signature assignment and discussions but is pretty straightforward after that. Essentially no final, with the opportunity for extra credit the last week.

There is a lot of reading but overall the class is pretty easy and the professor is understanding.

If you watch the lectures and read the required material, you will pass the class. There is no late work accepted, but she is a very fair grader; she gave me extra points on a large assignment I wasn't able to finish on time. Would recommend this class.
