This Professor is very interesting and I am rarely bored in the class. (fun lectures!) The tests are pretty easy and there are not too many assignments. Just do well on the tests and you'll do great. (also make sure to do all your assignments!)

She's not a bad professor, but truth be told, she's not great either. Her study guides are too extensive in that she expects you to know everything--front to back--of the textbook. Those expectations are unrealistic. On the plus side, she does give you opportunities for extra credit.

Dr. Bovard teaches primarily from the text but adds personal and professional comments as well. Her exams (4) and a a cummulative are tricky because she sometimes ask questions that are not on the study guide or text. She grades on a curve and is fair on her grading. She loves rowing and soccer.

She is a very good professor & very interested in her students. If you study the book & her notes for the most part you should receive a high grade.

very funny.talks A LOT.her lecture is broad so you HAVE to do the reading or you will not pass.gives a lot of papers to write and extra credit.helpful and available if you need her.

Attendance is mandatory. she gives out sign in sheets once a week. lectures are all based on slides from your textbook. one term project, which was very easy! final is cumulative. its hard but you have to study study study!

Took her for Psyc 134 Human Sexuality. Three tests multiple choice with essay part to it which you don't get to know what type of question your gonna be writing about until you get the test, must read the book to do good on the tests also final is cumulative with 100 questions. Good Luck overall great professor.

AWESOME! Finished final@4 by 9 the final grades were posted! Makes class VERY interesting and you will WANT to go to her course.Got a B without reading the book but would NOT recommend.Reading would have made everything so much easier. 3 discussion boards, 2 midterms, 1 final. All easy esp if you read. DEF take her, shes the BEST!!

I took her online psyc2 class, and she was amazing! Very clear and helpful, open to any questions you may have. big assignments-3 tests, term paper (with required responses to classmates' papers). It was very obvious she is a cheerful person. Though this class was online, she honestly seemed to enjoy her work and the students.

I had her online motivation class. Read the entire book, and post 4 times on the discussion board a week. Lots of work!! If you read the book and take notes the tests are easy so i got an A. She emails back within two days. I don't like online classes but I didn't have a choice for this one, and it didn't go so bad. All tests online. One paper.

She is a very nice lady, however, her tests are super hard! She requires one tterm paper, the exams, one final, and three learning modules. You have to read book in this class! Does not offer lot of extra credit just one assignment.

I took her online PSYC 2 class and it was extremely hard. The tests were super hard with not enough time and you had assignments due all the time. I recommend taking this in a classroom.

Awesome. Fun. Her stories were always interesting.

I had her for child development. She was pretty interesting considering it was a 7:30 am class. I got an A- but I did read all the chapters and use the online quizzes made from the textbook author. Some of her exam questions were from there. The class isn't hard if you read and attend class.

absolutely loved this class. would take a class with her again. the exams are straight forward. extra credit panel was fun, i definitely suggest doing it! got an A and barely read the book. classes are interesting.

This class was enjoyable. She tests easily if you have reviewed her lectures and the book. She gets off topic easily during lecture, but she cares about what she lectures on. Go to class, because she tests on class happenings(i.e.videos, presentations, demonstrations)

This teacher is really easy, maybe because I took this class online. Follow the syllabus, read the chapter, watch the videos, and take the quizzes. Very easy teacher and class if you do your work. Obviously.

Enjoyable class. Videos are interesting as well. Few exams, weekly slideshows/quizzes, research study hours required, and an essay. She only gives you a limited # of chances to do the essay, so if she posts a topic you like, DO IT! Have good time management and you will do fine.

Attendance was not mandatory but being there would help you on exams since material is from videos and guest speakers as well. Exams were not easy, but the assignments are easy points that can bring up a person's grade. She is nice. Most of the lectures were interesting.

I took PSYCH 2 as a full online class. The course has a lot of work but it is completely possible to receive an A in the class if you stay on track with everything! Also, the professor is very good at responding to students which is great since it is an online class! I would recommend this course if you are consistent and organized!

Amazing instructor. She's the best instructor I've had here at Sac State. Lectures are interesting--there is never a dull moment! She's hilarious! She's not easy, but if you do your work, you'll be fine. (Cray cray, I know.) I'm taking another one of her classes next semester. I HIGHLY recommend Professor B.!

Class composes of 2 midterms, 1 final, 1 term paper, and weekly quizzes. 3 hours of researches participations are also required. Sounds like a lot, but they're not too hard =]

Exams have poor content validity, and we were not able to review them to see which questions we missed. Multiple choice questions listed multiple answers that were all correct, unsure if this was intentional, but it was definitely anxiety-provoking. Lectures were interesting, but exams were not based on lecture, only book and videos/guests.

She's awesome. Pay attention and you'll do fine, which isn't hard because it's an interesting class. The tests aren't random, it's actually stuff she talks about during lecture and it's also in the book.

Bovard communicates with her online students via e-mail 2 or 3 times a week and posts grades regularly. Class includes weekly chapter quizzes, 3 exams, 1 writing assignment, & 1 extra credit opportunity. I would read through Bovard's chapter slides, which were very detailed. As good as an online class gets!

Professor Bovard is really nice; since it is an online class, if you have any questions, she would reply asap. I like how she would remind us when we have a quiz because sometimes, we forget that we have a quiz since it's an online class. There are 3 exam and a quiz every week. If you read the book and the notes she post online, you will pass.

I took this course online and i had a pretty easy time. 1 chapter a week with one quiz a week and she is pretty organized so you know your upcoming assignments are.

EASY A. It's a lot of work at first but she's great at giving directions and information. She responds right away to emails and is very understanding. The information she posts weekly are helpful and sometimes fun to watch. Tests and quizzes make you think a lot but can be found with the help of google. But I would definitely take her again!

She is by far my favorite teacher this semester! After taking her class, I decided I want to change my major to psychology. The material is difficult, and extensive, but if you come to class the lectures help a lot. She also provides many helpful resources, and offers some extra credit too. I am looking forward to taking classes from her later.

She is always cracking jokes and keeping the class entertained; very nice and an easy class if you do the reading. There is some class group work at the end of a few of her lectures, however, amazing teacher. I highly recommend her.

I feel people did not explain enough the amount of work this class takes if you're actually trying to get an A. The way she asks the the questions on midterms and finals are rather hard. However, she is a very interesting and nice teacher so just make sure you do all the work.

There are only 2 midterms and then one final... that is all your grade consists of. Her lectures have absolutely nothing to do with the midterms.

Online women's psychology was a great class. Lots of videos and reading. Must use discussion board a lot. One midterm One final one Paper. Take this class you will like the videos.

Online course. A lot of work but it was grading was fair. I enjoyed the class, she tries to build connections with her students. I love professors who do that. Exams are difficult, I have to read them 5 times before I can pick an answer but since it was online, I was able to use my text book and notes.

BEST TEACHER EVER, I am a freshmen this year and this class was a breeze. she is so kind heartted. must take class.

Professor Bovard is a lovely teacher who I would recommend for anyone taking Psych 2. Psychology 2 has a lot of things you need to remember so if you stay on top of it, you'll pass this class. Exams were easy but you should make sure to study because final exam is in class

Professor Bovard was really nice,but the class required a lot. 3 hours of research, 3 exam (all online), a term paper,weekly homework ,and a final. The final is in class and she doesn't provide a study guide, MAKE SURE TO STUDY WELL FOR IT. The final is 200 points made up of really complicated questions.

Overall she was a nice professor. But even though I took notes on every lecture, they did not help me at all for studying for the final because she doesn't give you all the definitions for key terms. REVEL SAVED ME. Use REVEL to review for the final and the CHAPTER SUMMARIES to study. Reading REVEL is the key to getting an A in the class.

I currently have her for Psyc-2 and wow, she's a pretty good professor. I like how she makes her lectures interesting and not super boring, but I guess Psyc is just really interesting in general. She's hilarious at times and really cool. Easy to approach and ask questions (unlike some professors). Read the textbook though! Seriously!!!

She's a real good teacher, it probably comes with being a psyc teacher. Big class, not hard at all, fair workload. And it can actually be interesting.

Bovard has interesting lectures and doesn't just read off her slides. She's engaged and an interesting person. Tests are kinda weird because you feel like you did really well but come back with a C. Mandatory participation in psych surveys (as with every psych class at Sac). One essay and some homework. 3 exams and a final.

There are 3 online timed exams & a 100 point cumulative MC final in class with no notes. There is one writing assignment, weekly homework online & in class activities. She includes great examples & outside stories that are relevant to the lecture instead of just reading off the powerpoint. She knows what she is talking about & is very nice!

She uses an online textbook and all tests but the final are online. As long as you do the readings and take notes in class you will do well. She has in class assignments randomly so showing up to class is important. She is very good at keeping lectures interesting and adds in a lot TED Talks. I highly recommend.

Always thought I did better on the exams than I actually did. She has questions on the exams from things that took place in class & there are activities in class randomly so attendance is important. She is pretty funny. She brings real stories into lectures which always helps. The final was in class 100 questions with no help. Hw includes reading!

She is a pretty good teacher. She has a lot of stories to tell but they are somewhat related to the content. She grades pretty lenient. If you do your weekly chapter online on revel, you have nothing to worry about. Quizzes are online and no class that day. Final is in class, no notes. Just do the chapters properly. I would definitely recommend her

Revel is a textbook online that has quizzes. She is fairly easy, attendance is not mandatory but she uses stuff that is only covered in lectures on the tests. Sometimes she might give better instructions in class than what is posted online. She cares about her students and interaction. Always there to talk to.

If you really want to learn Psychology take it, lectures and never boring. Revel for reading and quizzes that are all found on quiz-let. 3 exams are all on canvas. the Final is cumulative, and in class no notes, no study guides! There's 1 writing assignment(easy)and a couple in class assignments, don't miss class. late classes have no research hrs.

This professor was awesome! i took her online psych134 class. although she does give a lot of hw during the week, we usually have a discussion or short paper. she also makes the pearson revel chapters in the textbook online mandatory, its time consuming but isn't hard at all! we watch a lot of vids/articles, advice take notes for exam!

This class was an online class so it's easy to assume it won't be difficult but she assigns a lot of homework not that difficult though. Make sure you watch the required videos and readings and take notes as she includes questions of those on the exam.

Read the book and do the online assignments. Watch the videos and take notes because she will ask you about some obscure detail on the exam that is not relevant to understanding the overall concepts in the video. Overall, not that difficult if you make sure to do everything on time. Extra credit available too.

Professor B is one of the most passionate teacher's I have ever had. The test are open book open note and online. However, the final is in class closed book closed notes. The test are easy and most answers on quizlet but don't make the mistake and not pay attention because the final is difficult. She offers extra assignments for an easy A.

Showing up to class is definitely a must for this class, but her lectures are always entertaining. The Textbook isn't bad either, though it can be a tedious. Night classes aren't required to do research hours, & only have 4 tests including the final exam. Her other assignments are all simple too! She is a passionate teacher who makes psyc fun

Great professor ! Makes lecture fun and interesting. Exams are usually online and you get to use your notes and finial exam is in class cumulative no notes .

Read the book, do the Revel quizzes, do the discussions, write the papers, take the exams, and you'll get an A. The exams have some tricky questions related to precise details in the videos, but the exams are not all that hard overall because they are open book. She picks some interesting TED talks to watch. Well structured and interesting class.

This online class was tough. Must complete quizzes on each chapter, but multiple attempts given. Tests are hard (not on Quizlet) and refer to minute details in the textbook so it is hard to recall. A million assignments. However, I learned a lot and this professor cares about her students. She assigns work she feels is useful, not to kill us.

Her lectures are never boring and she cares a lot about her students. 4 exams with 2 weekly homework assignments. This is one of the easiest classes I have taken here, so I highly recommend.

ABSOLUTE GEM. Great stories. Funny. Great for online/hybrid and face to face class. Cares about her students. You NEED to read the book as slides don't have enough info. Talks kind of fast. Very organized. Tech savvy. Gives extra credit. Test online and open book. Cumulative final. Upholds you to a high collegiate standard. 10/10 would take again.

Such an interesting class. She's really good at explaining.

Very straightforward class with fairly simple course material. Lots of opportunities for points and extra credit. Shes very helpful and responds quickly whenever you have concerns. Interesting videos and course material integrated into and in addition to the lectures. Grades exams on a very big curve :)

She definitely cares but she is for sure one of the only prof I had this semester who was organized and stayed on top of what she said for the syllabus. There is a lot if work but honestly she gives you the materials so you could learn and understand what is going on.

there is a lot of textbook reading for this class. One chapter is covered each week and you have additional assignments each week. Four tests. They aren't hard if you did the weekly work and she curves them. She gave a lot of extra credit which really helps your grade if you do it. Overall, not hard but very time consuming class.

Online class; wasnt hard but homework was time consuming. A chapter per week + review questions of the chapter + occasional lab + videos. Gives xtra credit often. Open note exams (but study regardless cause lots of memorizing). Very straightforward class and criterias. Work ahead when you can as future hwk open a week early.

Very caring Professor! The class was very organized which was nice as you now what to expect weekly. Be ready to spend a few hours a week on this class's homework. Exams are very tough if you do not read the textbook word for word. Each chapter is about 25 pages. The weekly "Inquizitive" chapter study website gets VERY annoying if you do not read.

Nice professor. You have to read a chapter a week which is very time-consuming and on top of that, there are other videos, lectures, articles you have to read. Inquisitive can be very annoying also. There are 4 exams that are all open note, so as long as you spend time taking notes on the chapter reading you will get an A on them.

I had her for an asynchronous class, which IMO is just more work vs synchronous ones but even with that, I still liked her class and just the professor in general. She explains things very well and you NEED to pay attention to the videos she posts and to her lectures because her tests are based on those.

She was a very caring professor! However she assigned lots of homework, but it was all pretty manageable. The class was a bit difficult content-wise, but I did pretty good since I took an additional SI tutoring course. Everything you need is in the textbook!

This class was fully asynchronous. Lots of homework but it is all manageable the only part that will get you is the tests. Make sure you make study guides like she tells you to and study, it really helps. Otherwise, this class is manageable and easy.

Great Professor. She just gives a lot of homework and tests were based on lectures. Long as you do the work on time and make your study guides you should be fine.

Super kind teacher and understanding! Took it online but she was great at updating and making assignments clear and concise. If PSYC 2 is a requirement for you, take it with Prof. Bovard she is great!

This class was very easy and straight forward to take. Professor Bovard is very sweet and fast at replying back. Class has weekly quizzes based on the online texts and sometimes discussions.

Class was easy to follow and the quizzes are timed but brief. Lots of reading and video but the subject was really interesting.

Can seem like a lot of work for an online class, but it is easy. Quizlet is ur bestie. Most work is put into weekly discussions. One discussion and a quiz per week. Super manageable for an online course. Other online profs should take notes...

Professor Bovard is amazing, she is good at getting back to students. You do not have to buy a textbook for this class, it is all provided. There are 2-3 research credits you need to do by a certain date, make sure to get them done as early as possible for extra credit. No homework, just weekly quiz, some discussions. I suggest this class highly.

This class has a lot of work, but if you stay on top of the readings and make study guides, you can do well. The exams are tricky, but unstuck AI was a great tool to help me prepare. Overall, a manageable course with a caring professor.
