She gives you a study guide for every test that tells what topics will be covered. You don't have to read the book, except for the parts she puts on the study guide. Be sure to attend class.

I'm never a fan of professors who make slides and then read off of them. Dr. Davis is one of those professors. For an honors professor, I wouldn't expect that. We spent a lot of time drilling in the same concept and then there would be a test question asking something super specific and random. Tests are hard. More busywork than other classes.

Dr. Davis's General Psychology class was amazing! Her lectures were interactive and she presented the material in a way that was easy to take notes on and understand. If you know the study guides (which are very thorough), you will do well on the tests. It is easy to see she loves teaching and psychology and is invested in student success.

Wonderful professor, which would make sense since she studies how students learn. She is very thorough about reading the class and taking notes on what works and what doesn't work in her teaching. She also explains complex matters in a way that's easy to understand. Thus, attendance in her lectures is vital if you want to excel in her course.

Every class lecture and notes are posted online, and clear study guides, and study sessions for you to be able to ace every test. Participation matters and with her grading anyone should easily get an A if you simply complete assignments and study. She is understanding and willing to work with you regardless of over 100 kids in class.

As long as you stay on top of your homework, which you usually have a week to do, go to study groups, and fill out the guides, you should do just fine in her class. She makes it relatively easy to learn, and her class is quite enjoyable. The final optional, and she drops a few of your lowest grades. She also offers a few points of extra credit.

Honestly as long as you did the work you will be smooth sailing. The tests were not that hard, honestly doing the study guide and GO TO STUDY GROUP. it will save you. Again I hate psy and it's not even my major, but this class I enjoyed. I did my work and went to study group and I ended up with a high A.

DR. DAVIS IS AMAZING! Her developmental psych class makes it easy and interesting to learn the course content. There are 4 tests, 3 papers, and a few other assignments. Her tests aren't hard to study for, they just take time--make sure you review ALL the lecture notes and study ALL the assigned sections in the textbook, and you'll be fine.

Honestly, lectures are very boring. She releases the study guides so late which barely gives you enough time to study for the tests and other classes. Her style of teaching is not that good especially if you have a hard time focusing or if you're struggling with other stuff. It's almost impossible to get extra credit which sucks.

Dr. Davis is a great professor but the lectures can be very boring. If you do the study guides (keep in mind they're like 15-20+ pages) and study them well, you'll do well on the tests as what's on the study guides are on the tests. The tests aren't cumulative either, so that's a bonus. Final exam was optional for our course too. HW every week.

This was honestly a very easy course and if you go to class and complete the fill-in-the-blank notes, you will pass every test. If you put in the slightest effort you will succeed. There are random easy assignments she'll give so you should go to class. There are 4 tests all from the study guide she will give you. I definitely recommend this.

She is a very nice lady, but very boring lectures. TONS of little assignments, however very easy to get A if you just do the work. Tests are easy if finish study guide and go to study group. Easy but annoying class. Class participation most classes so attendance is mandatory. Some topics are interesting. Take this class for easy gen ed credit.

Dr. Davis is an amazing professor. Any bad reviews are only there because they most likely didn't attend class. Her lectures are very easy to follow, and there are recorded lectures in the meantime. The 70 question tests are straight from both the lecture and the textbook as long as you study. She makes psychology a very interesting topic.

Dr. Davis made psychology easy and made me happy to go to her class. She has a great teaching style and gives many different types of grades so that your tests don't sink you. She prepares study groups and study guides for each test and genuinely cares. Her tests are the exact study guides and take advantage of study groups!

I loved her! There is a lot of homework, but it's super easy and she drops two homework assignments at the end of the semester. I loved her lectures, and she made sure to keep us engaged. Participation is important because she does random class participation grades, and she does take role at the beginning of every class. Overall, I recommend!

Dr. Davis is genuinely nice and caring. However, my only complaint about the class is that the material itself is quite easy to understand especially if you attend class regularly. However, the tests are difficult! The tests are too hard in comparison to the ebook and the lectures. I recommend the class, but make sure to study hard for the exams.

Dr. Davis will always help you learn and wants you to succeed. Her tests are VERY difficult but she offers study groups that will go over what you need to know for the test. There's a lot of reading, but you can get by with just skimming over it if you attend lecture. She gave multiple opportunities for extra credit and the final exam is optional.

Loved Dr. Davis! It is lecture-heavy, but as long as you take notes and pay attention, you could easily pass with an A. She gives LOTS of grading opportunities and drops a lot of your lowest grades at the end of the semester. All assignments, except for in-class participation, are online and she gives you plenty of time to do them.

Lots of minor assignments; this is not a class you can just get by in by listening to the lectures. But she provides a lot of opportunities to study and/or make up for a grade. Material was genuinely interesting, but Doctor Davis wasn't extremely engaging to me personally. She was kind though, and always helpful when reaching out.

Dr. Davis is the GOAT. As long as you at least kind of care about the class, she is very willing to make sure that you pass. Her classes can be very long, but she doesn't just mindlessly read off of her slides. 10/10 would take her class again.

Dr. Davis is very sweet, she is kind and loves to engage and she gives clear lectures. But she gives ALOT of homework and tests, she posts study guides but the guides tend to be scattered. She prefers you to print out a lot of the work you turn in. She's okay, i wish I could rate her higher because she really is a sweet teacher.
