Mrs. Boyer did an excellent job teaching the course. She obviously enjoys and understands her chosen field and strives to include the class at all times during class.
Mrs. Boyer is an excellent teacher. She is very knowledgeable in psychology, and is passionate. I really enjoyed this class. One does have to put forth effort. She says that "effort equals the grade," and this is so true!
I learned a great deal from taking this course.
I think Mrs. Boyer is a wonderful teacher. She really made this class interesting. She made sure that you knew the material. She used the book with every class and she made sure to incorporate the class lecture with what you were learning. She is a wonderful teacher and I recommend her to anyone!!!
Mrs. Boyer is a good teacher and I believe she enjoying teaching psychology. All the time she is on time, put forth effort, equals with every one in general, she prepared for class. I really enjoy the cube assignment. Thank you!
She is very knowledgeable. She cares about her class and truly wants to help them be the best they can and get the most out of life. She was very helpful and knows her students. I would that any class she taught. I know I would get a lot out of the class. She goes out of her way to be helpful.
She teaches with knowledge and wisdom. She has a great understanding of people and has a way of helping you to understand yourself. She love to teacher and it shows. The class is very interesting. She really tries to help her student to understand themselves how to make the most out of their life.
Ms. Boyer is a outstanding teacher. She is very knowledgeable about psychology. She is fair with each student and treats them all the same. She enjoys her job and passes that on to the classroom.
I really love Mrs. Boyer she is very helpful and understanding
Mrs. Boyer is the best teacher ever. She really helps you learn. She knows more about you than you know about yourself. Anyone can can pass this class with flying colors.
Mrs. Boyer is awesome. She's very smart, knows her work and loves what she does. She talks very fast so pay attention or get lost. The quizzes are very easy if you do your homework and get to class on time. Shes always open for discussion and is willing to help you understand her logic. Wonderful teacher loved the class.
Mrs. Boyer is an awesome teacher. I love the passion she has for the subject she teaches. She is very funny and tries to make sure everyone is participating during class. I would recommend her to everyone, but warn them off the cube assignment.
Mrs Boyer is a good teacher and knows what she is talking about. She actually cares about her students. Must do notes and read to pass quizzes.
She is a great teacher. You can tell that she loves teaching this class and she is very helpful when you need her.
Mrs. Boyers class was very enjoyable. She knows what she is talking about and cares about her students. Must read and do notes to pass quizzes. Enjoyed course!
Mrs. Boyer, I enjoyed your class overall. I was not sure how I felt about all of the do it yourself notes because I do not know what you want us to know for the final. And that makes it hard for me to study without over studying.
Mrs. Boyer is a great teacher I would and have recommanded her to other class mates. She is very intresting and knows she stuff.
Mrs. Boyer is an excellent teacher. I have recommanded her to other students at vgcc. She is a intresting teacher and knows her stuff
Fun Class!!
The teacher is great but need to read the book to know the information.
I enjoyed Mrs.Boyer this semester and i think she's one of the best teachers that I have had at Vance-Granville.
I really enjoyed Mrs.Boyer's psych 241 class this semester i think she is a good teacher who knows the material and how to teach her students and i would recommend her to any one who is interested in taking a psychology class.
Mrs. Boyer is a great teacher that knows her stuff. One of the best and most interesting teachers I have had at Vance Granville.
Professor Boyer's class was one that I recommend everyone take. She created a fun atmosphere and learning experience. Her class really helps you to figure out who you are.
This class was overall a great experience for me. I really enjoyed taking this class and it helped me learn a lot.
Mrs. Boyer is a great teacher that knows her stuff. She is high recommended by me.
Great class. Easy curriculum. Mrs. Boyer is great too. Just make sure you have your two papers done before the last month of class.
Great class. Easy curriculum. Mrs. Boyer is great too. DO PAPER AHEAD OF TIME!!!!
Mrs. Boyer is the greatest teacher ever. She is so helpful and straightforward. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a teacher
Mrs. Boyer was a great teacher and had a very great way of teaching. This was a very easy class to pass if you had the right plan and dedication. I think that the way Mrs. Boyer set up the grading scale really reflects the amount of work each student did.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!
Mrs. Boyer was a great teacher because she was actually motivated to teach the class, and because of her experience as a therapist then she was able to expound on the subjects we talked about. I enjoyed learning from this class and hopefully I get another teacher who teaches and not lectures most of the time ( :
Great teacher and very helpful to students
Mrs. Boyer is one of the best teachers I have ever had since Elementary school! She was very helpful with not just school work but with life. I love her!!! VGCC should definitely keep her around :-)
Very good and interesting lectures. Mrs. Boyer offered many resources so that we could expand our own interests. The cube experiment was awesome. Overall, a very good class. The exam was difficult.
Great teacher and very interesting class. I learned a lot about myself and my life. Also I learned a lot about psychology.
Pay ATTENTION AND DO YOUR NOTES AND STUDY OR YOU WILL FAIL
she is a very good teacher
I think this class was overall interesting. Make sure that you take your notes and do your work. Taking notes is manditory since you get to use them on every quiz. Using thme was very helpful.
THought the class was very good. really enjoyed it and learned alot . The teacher was very understanding and very helpful and answered any question we had.
Class was good. I just do not like how we had to find our own notes for the exam, because what I study and focused on might be different from what the exam holds.
The class was overall good. However, I did not like taking my own notes for the exam.
Developmental psychology was very interesting and my teacher did a great job explaining the reality of all the information in our book.
Excellent class and great teacher. Make sure you take your notes and pay attention to everything she talks about in class. It is very interesting.
pretty easy class
easy class
I really enjoyed Mrs. Boyer this semester she is a wonderful teacher and I learned a lot in her class.
i really enjoyed this class
Mrs. Boyer was very helpful and I fully understood the material learned and taught in this class.
Mrs. Boyer was very helpful and I fully understood the material learned and taught in this class. It was easy once I got the hang of her teaching method.
Professor Boyer you are really cool and I learnt a lot from being in your class, I would recommend this class to everyone. Everybody learn a lot from you about themselves.
Tough grader. Even if your assignment is done exactly like the directions say, she will still take points off for stuff that wasn't listed in the directions. She requires you to read every chapter and write novels for every assignment, even when taking notes. I would advise not signing up with this teacher.
I enjoyed the class. You have to do a lot of reading in this class. You must take notes and be prepared for a quiz every Tuesday. My favorite assignment was the cube assignment. She made the class fun, although at times i was ready to go. I would like to take another class from her in the future.
I really like the professor just not too fond of the course.
Mrs Boyer is a great professor very well like and she doing a great job need more professor like her
Mrs Boyer is a great professor very informative down to earth
Great professor need more like her
If you read your textbook and take notes you will do fine
she is hard, but I learned a great deal
I learned a great deal and enjoyed the lectures.
she is funny but you have to stay on top of your work to pass.
She is a good teacher and has a very good understanding of her subject, but she expects reading and if you don't be prepared to fail because she LOVE POP QUIZZES.
I enjoyed the class, From day one she handed you the syllabus and every thing in the class was true. Follows the syllabus. She said from the start that you did not have to be a genius to do well in the class. She gives daily quizzes that are useful (5 points per day in 1st 5 minutes so if you are late or miss class you lose 5 per day
Thea Boyer's classes, while tough, are very fair. She tests us on our readings, and our lectures always hold relevance in our personal lives. Her assignments are usually simple, but require much work placed into them. If you do the work, you've earned your grade.
Thea Boyer's General Psychology class, while tough, is very fair in it's approach. We go over some topics not discussed in the text, but do hold relevance to both the topic and our personal lives.
Note-taking is essential to pass this class. If you stay on top of it, it is an easy A. Very enjoyable class and teacher. Although she is sometimes cocky.
You have to take tons of notes! Each chapter of the book is discussed and every week a chapter's worth of notes is due. If you make sure you have this done the class is a breeze! Mrs. Boyer is funny and keeps you engaged. Over all very neat class and I learned a lot.
I love Ms. Boyer! Her feedback is very clear, she answers questions well, and provides applicable information to use through-out your life!
Mrs. Boyer is a fantastic teacher. The class is very reading heavy, which she tells you at the beginning of the semester. Stay on top of the reading and take notes for the chapters and lectures and you'll do fine. Mrs. Boyer is incredibly helpful and kind, I would definitely take her again.
TONS of reading and note taking of the book. For quizzes they are open book and you're better off just taking notes on figures and definitions as well as the titles.
Mrs. Boyer gives pop quizzes often and (duh) without warning, so you MUST read the chapters assigned or you will not do well. Interviews are important. She's a pretty reasonable professor. She doesn't take excuses unless it's something serious.
Mrs. Boyer is really cool. She has so many stories to tell that if you bring something up she will have another story and you can go on and on telling stories (this way you don't have to present those interviews) which btw are a pain at first but you get used to them.
Mrs. Boyer is a great teacher, but the course has a lot of assignments. If you don't do them all, you won't pass.
Thea Boyer give great feedback. The assignments she assigned us had to do with us and our personalities and our life. She explained all her feedback and what it meant. The reading was not hard at all, but there was a lot of it. She went over each chapter in class incase there were questions. I hope there is another class I need that she teaches!
The class was challenging and extremely reading intense. Grading was clear cut and assignments weren't horrible.
There's a lot of reading and note-taking for this class, but Professor Boyer's class lectures and presentations are very clear, and the science of psychology itself is so cool that it'd be hard to screw it up. Don't skip classes if you can help it--every quiz grade and class note page counts.
Mrs. Boyer is a wonderful professor and has many helpful life lessons to take away from this class.
Mrs. Boyer was an awesome teacher. Her class is definitely not easy, but from her teachings you walk away with new knowledge and a clearer life plan.
She is a great professor. I learned a lot in her class and would recommend everyone to take this class. As long as you keep up with your notes you will be fine in the class.
Thea Boyer is a great teacher in many aspects. She offer her students several helpful learning experiences though evaluations in a psychological aspect.
This is a very nice teacher. I have leared a lot of things. I did not know so much went on dealing with psychology. I really enjoyed this class. She is there for me and her students all the way.
Mrs. Boyer is an awesome instructor, and very helpful. She was definitely comforting when it came to the class having to work on our problem statements. She is very upbeat and energetic in her lectures, making it easier to follow along and pay attention. I would take her class again or even try to take her higher classes.
Thea Boyer is an awesome teacher and person all around! She is very open and honest, which is the best thing any teacher could be. She is herself and doesn't act fake like most teachers. She definitely tries to help you pass the class as much as she can. She is the best teacher I have ever had.
Amazing teacher
loved the class it was fun learned a lot great teacher
I really enjoyed this class from day one. Her assignments were easy, you just have to do them for credit. She is very interesting and always trying to make the class have fun. Definitely would take this class again! Also, I am planning to take her other psychology course next fall!
Mrs. Boyer is an awesome instructor. The classes pretty much fly by because while the material can get a little boring the instructor makes it interesting with real world examples.
This class helped me realize more about myself and it was great.
This was a tough class! there was a lot of reading involved and requires a lot of work out side of class. Mrs. Boyer was a good teacher and i really enoyed her class.
The one thing I appreciated most about taking Boyer's class was how clear everything was (grading, assignments, her expectations, etc.) It's crucial for you to stay on top of reading, note taking, and attendance to pass her class so you are held completely accountable for your own success, which I like.
Make sure you read and take notes!
I love the professor but I just don't like psychology. but overall good class to have.
Favorite class. Favorite teacher.
I think that professor Boyer is an amazing professor and helps the students connect what we learn to our lives. She is clear on what she expects in the class and sticks by it.
great teacher ! love to have her agin
Mrs. Boyer is condescending. Her assignments are convoluted. She says she cannot give extra credit but offers five points for this rating. You can tell she is an amateur. Virtual Child assignment is stupid.
Even if your assignment is done exactly like the directions say, she will still take points off for stuff that wasn't listed in the directions.
She is a very nice teacher. She will encourage you to think outside the box. You do have to read alot in this course. She wants you to succeed! Virtual child paper is the only bad part about this class.
Ms. Boyer can seem a little tough at first, but that may have just been the online setting. In the end, I loved the class. Her assignments were clear and easy to follow. There was one extra credit opportunity which was super easy. As long as you follow the instructions you get good grades. I would recommend her class.
Mrs. Boyer is really an excellent teacher. I've taken 3 courses with her and they have all been great. Mrs. B will do all she can to help her students, and she clearly outlines what you need to do to get a good grade in her class. Don't believe the few bad reviews she has on here. Obviously those students were upset with the bad grades they earned.
This teacher is by FAR THE WORST TEACHER ive ever taken, she is terrible at grading and never grades on things in her criteria. There will always be oen thing you miss that she will then take off upwards of 12 points off for a single mistake.
The writing assignments for this class are ridiculous.
She literally is ridiculous as a teacher. I would never take her again. I am a straight A student. 4.6 GPA. And I just got a B in her class. She has no runic to grading. Takes off 20 points for one item. Is very unclear. Refuses to give any room for improvement. Not available. Only xtra credit she gives is to give her a good rating. Id rather fail
Ms. Boyer, seems as though she doesn't care. I have reached out for help and she would be very short in her emails. Ms. Boyer would take days to respond to emails, her grading is ridiculous!! I hope she is nicer in person, but she seems evil! I worked very hard in this class and if I had a problem she was very unsupportive!
Awful. Do not recommend.
The worst teacher ever. 20+ points for one thing wrong on papers.
Worst teacher Ive ever had. 20 points off per one thing wrong in your essays. Doesnt respond well to emails about the grading rubic. Do not recommend any class with her as a teacher.
My 4.8 GPA went down after this class. There is no real grading rubic. Takes off so many points for one mistake. Its unbelievable how she grades. I would never recommend to take her. She doesnt respond to emails either.
If you have her has a teacher good luck understand her grading criteria. There is no such thing as a rubic to her. She picks and chooses what is wrong with your paper and takes 20 points off per one thing.
Do not recommend. Even the best students struggled with this teacher. I say teacher because it wasnt the class or work that was hard. It was the teachers unrealistic grading rubic. She would take off 20 points for one thing wrong with your papers.
Would never take her again.
Wouldnt recommend.
