Very interested in material she teaches. Very helpfull and engaging

Good prof. Knowledgeable of the material, pretty engaging, and very clear. Didn't enjoy short answer questions. I would take another course with her.

She is passionate about the course and her teaching. She is well-prepared before each class. She is very down-to-earth and helpful. She is moderately tough on her exam questions. I enjoyed her class as I feel like I do learn stuff from her lectures. She has room to improve more on how to deal with demanding students in class.

Although I think Tsasha is a cool person, her teaching style was not for me. I felt that she catered too much to the slow learning students, spending too much time on review and recap. She should remind demanding students that she has office hours when they're having trouble grasping the material. Esp. 1st yr material.

Nice teacher. Takes a lot of time explaining concepts to the class. Maybe a little too much time, but Im not complaining. Somehow the information that she dwells on does not make the exams most of the time. Overall great teacher. THE HOTTEST TEACHER AT RYERSON HANDS DOWN!!!

Overall the class was good. However watch out for her short answer questions they are hard because the T.A. marks your test. The T.A. is looking for exact words eventhough you've explained the question in detail. Therefore if you did not use the exact word their looking for you will not get a decent mark on the essay question which is worth 12 mark

She is very knowledgeabl She explains lectures in a very clear and easy understanding ways. However, her test is little bit hard. Especially the short answers. They are mostly from the powerpoint and class disscusion.The key to get high mark in this class is to read the text book, because the test questions are mostly about book content.Overall,sh

she is straight foward. Get the study guide, it will be very helpful for her exams. pay attention in class. and make sure you go.

awesome prof very clear made class interesting

MUST read textbook to get a good mark. Heard from friend that study guide helps - I never used it though. Knowledgeable. Clear. Interesting lectures.

She tends to repeat things and make her lectures seem very long cuz shes going over the same stuff but she is really clear and not hard to understand. Good teacher overall, bit of a hard marker. Dont hafta go to all classes, can still get a good mark

She teaches nothing more than the basics, and uses a few examples from the text. I feel like she doesn't go in depth enough. She is clear and very helpful though. Don't get me wrong though, if you read the textbook and study her notes you'll get an A. Her lessons just lack depth.

Also, the study guide is VERY helpful, every psych class should have that offered.

amazing teacher. i love her off, and if she wasnt married id be barking up that tree ;D

very hard marker. no enthusim during lectures. boring at times. tests were brutal! makes you feel discouraged!!!

It's true she gets mad at ppl who are late, but it's really not that difficult to be on time! Overall great prof, fair exams, fair marker. Always answers obscure questions without belittling the student. Very approachable and an interesting class!

A really easy course! Her tests aren't too hard, but you gotta read the textbook. Stuff she teaches in class is mostly in the textbook so going to class isn't really necessary. And yes, she hates people coming in late and talking in class but it isn't hard to do those things in the first place. Not the most entertaining prof but good enough.

I dont have anything bad to say about her, her lectures were extremely boring but her tests and assignments were easy. All you have to do is read the textbook and there's no reason why you should get anything less than an A. She's pretty friendly and approachable!

Over-achiever, but an ok prof. Extremely hard!

If I have another choice, definitely not her class!

Really do not agree with some of the people here. Prof. Awong is straight from the textbook, her lectures are full of explination, she gives activities and examples to help clarify topics. Always willing to take questions after the lecture. Very friendly.

Very knowledgable with the course content, however, spent too much time doing reviews and answering questions.

She is so sweet and bubbly. This is my favourite Prof so far.

Midterm was difficult, however, the assignment&final were really easy. Readings + notes are key. Her lecture guides were useful. I only studied them for the exam&got almost perfect! Her classes seemed very long&boring. She talked too much for examples&answering questions. I didnt like how she wasnt on schedule with her own schedule. Overall,shes ok

I really like this professor but I wish she'd use more simple examples when explaining abstract concepts. Also, it would be nice if there were some sort of Q and A in the classroom in the sense that she should elicit information sometimes without making the students just passive listeners.

Pros Great lectures Wants you to succeed, very helpful Incredibly friendly Easy course 100% clear marking, tests and assignments. No surprises. Lots of 1 on 1 time if needed, responds to emails as well. Cons LOTS of reading Format of the 2 required essays is very strange SONA weight should be 5% Pro/Con Class participation isn't important

Very helpful teacher, always available for extra help. She explained lectures clearly and was very knowledgeable. She responded to emails quickly, I loved her class.

Professor Awong is a great prof. She is always there for her students. The exam and test material is primarily based on what she talks about in the lecture. The textbook is there to clarify and further go into concepts.

Dr. Awong taught this course so well and thoroughly. Really nice professor and allows for thoughtful in-class discussions to take place. Readings were online and she goes through them clearly in her lectures as they relate to the respective topics. Evaluations were fair - 1 reflection; 1 midterm; 1 assignment; 1 final (somewhat cumulative).

Her lecture notes were great

Good professor overall. Considering the class was taken online i'd say she communicated well with her students about dates and what she wanted on the assignments. She also clearly explains layouts of exams and details what the structure will look like. Lectures are good and exams are pretty much exactly whats taught.

Always ready to help, very cheerful and kind. She is not a hard professor all her exams are easy to prep if you watch and make notes of the lectures, the assignment was a bit tricky but she marks well. If you put a decent amount of work into the course it is easy to do well.

Dr. Tsasha Awong is a professor who cares. She is very responsible with emails and clear with how things are tested and the assignments. I understand why other students may not like her because the tests do take more application and she is a bit more picky with the assignment ... BUT this allowed it to be one of the few classes where I learned.

Dr. Awong is a very kind-hearted person and gives off a friendly vibe in her (recorded) lectures. Actually take notes! That being said, she still requires you to be coherent in the paper. 4 midterm exams, and one essay paper. Give yourself enough time to do the reading for your essay. Mine was meticulous and took a while for me to grasp the study.

Dr. Awong is kind&does care about how students do in her class. I would say she is more particular, not so much as difficult, than most professors would be considering it is an introductory psychology course. However, the midterm, final&assignment were all very manageable & quite fair. For the assignment, make sure you follow her detailed guide!

There are 3 tests that are open book (it is a breeze if you use your notes), and one written assignment (I got a 93%) that I did last minute. She is quite flexible, and she even extended the written assignment deadline for no reason. She's great and the bad reviews are probably from people who did less than the bare minimum and are crying about it.

Very nice professor and she is very helpful if you need extra help. The lectures were clear and engaging. If you attended lectures you'll do fine, as the midterms and exams are primarily on things she discusses in class and are not in the lecture notes she provides.

Dr Awong is a tough grader but reasonable. She provided great feedback and is transparent in her assessment. She seems to really care about the students' success and makes herself available for a consultation or material explanation outside of class hours. Dr Awong is friendly in her communication.

She is tough but fair and really sweet. She is a hard marker, though; you won't do well in her class unless you do the readings and participate. However, do not hesitate to ask her for feedback on your work. I did very poorly on one of the assignments, and she gave me detailed feedback and tips on improving my work.

Dr. Awong is a good professor. I genuinely do not understand why so many people don't like her. She teaches very well, her lectures are great, and she really wants everyone to learn. This class was 75% test material, but the questions were simple and straightforward. If you attend the lectures and take notes like any other class, you will do great.

I definitely recommend her. The course materials are clear, well-organized, and not text-heavy. You don't need the textbook if you read her handouts. The workload is light—two exams, short online quizzes, and one assignment. She's also responsive and active on D2L.

Shes great, one of my fav profs ive ever had. All the due dates and guidelines are very clear and NOT outdated, which is something i can appreciate. Sure shes challenging, but its supposed to be. Appreciate how much she cares and her vast knowledge of psych and how she sets you up to learn it.
