If you can pick another teacher, you should. She isn't helpful what so ever and does not return emails. Her class is structured so that if you don't pass the final, you won't even get a B. The final is worth a third of your entire grade. She made an easy subject way harder than it needed to be.

Mrs, Young is a very good instructor, however this particular course is difficult it's even more difficult if you don't read the material prior to showing up to class. The thing that bothers me the most is that she times her quizzes, she only gives you 20 minutes to conclude a 20 question quiz, and that quiz is not easy. You really have to study.

Professor Young is incredible. You can tell she cares about psychology in every way. Her lectures are well though out and she uses her experience to help make things easier to understand. You do have to make sure to read the chapter to help make the tests and quizzes easier, but if you look back, the answers were right there in the book.

Professor Young's Human Sexuality course was a mixed experience for me. On the one hand, the nature of the content made it very interesting and her lectures are very clear. On the other hand, her tests online were not even worthy of studying for. She also interjects snippets of feminism whenever she can, which I think discourages critical thinking.

I enjoyed that Professor Young was able to help me out when I was having difficulty with my quizzes. I didnt get a good grade on the first 2 but she helped me through a Zoom meeting to see what to study and how so I could best understand the material on future quizzes and the final. It really helped and I did better than I thought by the final.

This is my second class Ive taken with Professor Young. I like the way she structures her classes because its pretty straight forward. The time frames are consistent. The discussions are REALLY interesting, and the quizzes are not difficult. Reading is required but it makes the final easier to get through but you can use some notes.

I was actually really disappointed that the rest of the classes were going to be online because of Covid. I really enjoyed Prof. Youngs lectures. They were so in depth and had my attention. However, the online Zoom classes turned out to be just as good. I still felt like I was right back in the classroom. She definitely knows what shes doing!

Professor Young has her class structured rather consistently. 2 weeks to finish a module, about 2-3 assignments including a quiz per module and then the final. Pretty simple and straightforward. But its her discussion that take the cake. They are really in depth and get you thinking. I had a great time filling those out each week. Good class

Professor Youngs class was pretty straightforward; weekly discussions, weekly quiz, and I believe 2 tests (1 being the final exam). Actually you get about 2 weeks to go through each module. The topics are interesting but its the discussions that get your attention and get you thinking. Read the text, youll need it for each quiz and test.

I have enjoyed taking Professor Young for my online courses more than any other professor. I feel like Im still in the classroom because it feels like shes talking to you as an individual rather than just blurting out information. She tries her best to get the class interacting and the breakout rooms work well to talk in small groups.

My experience was taken 100% online. You will have to teach yourself 100% of the material, and tests will not follow study material. There is a lot of readings, and virtually no specifics on what to focus on. The average for every test taken was in the low 60s. Im sure she is a very nice person, but with a format like this, it will not really work

This class has a schedule of reading 2-3 chapters in a two week period, and then taking a test. It is pretty straight forward however because of the amount of material you go over, it was extremely difficult for me. She also uses respondus lockdown so you're recorded when you take the tests. You can only use hand written notes.

I took PSYC-2320 in the spring. Great lectures. She doesn't provide presentation material outside of Zoom meetings and my classmates struggled on exams because lectures didn't cover everything. Also, a lot of stuff in the exams was not covered in the lectures. Made it impossible to get an A. Book was provided by the school which was super nice.

Maymester (2.5 weeks) is a bad choice for her class, but full semester should be ok. I don't think she's a bad teacher, just a lot of reading/memorization My one saving grace was we could have hand written notes during tests. Half of the test was on the key terms, which you can print, and the other was on small details in the chapter... It was hard

I had to take this class for a semester, and I will never again. All you do is take notes, and then a test. She might give you an assignment or 2 in between, but that's it. Notes have to be detailed because she might quiz you on the most random thing from the textbook. I have retained nothing, the only thing that saves me is discussion post.

Please DO NOT take her class especially if you are doing a flex class she's not communicative. I understand it's a flex classes but her exam's were unreasonable her exam's are 25 question based off 3 chapters which are definitely more than 25 questions she only gives you 6 days to learn the chapters please don't take this course.

I can't stress enough how unprepared she is. She would show up 5-10 minutes late and take another 5-10 minutes to set up. She stresses you to take notes, but lectures are maybe 2% of her tests. She talks down to her students and tries to hold you over the end of class. She talks poorly about school staff members if she doesn't get what she wants.

Be prepared as Professor uses Respondus lock down and only handwritten notes. Test questions are long and seemed random. Time for quizzes should be longer than 40 minutes. a lot of reading to remember for testing. you must keep up with the discussions and extra assignments in the module while reading chapters. Keep in contact with any issues.

Professor Young showed up 10 minutes late to class almost every single day. She does not post her slides so if you miss class, you'll rely on a classmate to lend you their notes. The tests, while being open note and textbook, often ask very random specific things from the textbook. The topic may be interesting but her style of teaching is lacking.

I took her class in the summer of 2024, and that would be a reason I struggled since it was a 5-week course, but she was no help. She would take more than 72 hrs. to respond to messages. She did not offer any extra credit or accept any late work. She showed no interest in her class as I have seen other professors with their class.

Get ready to carry a book with you to every class. Sometimes doesn't show up until 20 MINUETS after class starts. I understand things go on in our lives but this is getting to the point where it's impeding the class learning. Also wants you to take notes in class but questions in the exam are things from the book.

Changed the class schedule multiple times due to her absences. You can get all the information from the textbook. It felt like we teach ourselves everything and it sucked. She does give extra credit and try to make it up to us if she missed lecture. Exam reviews are with classmates, not herself which sucks. Exams are online w lockdown browser.

Everything you are graded on is based on the book but the slides she uses in class had very little to do with the information you are being graded on. Test reviews were just the LO from each chapter and then every definition in the chapter. Although I liked her as a person and the lectures were okay, her class was difficult to prepare/study for.

Would not recommend taking this course at all. The teacher was always absent and out of all the classes that we were supposed to take, she only showed up like 5 times. She would not discuss all the material that she puts on the test, therefore she has to give everyone extra points. If she did show up to class, she was 20-35 minutes late. Very rude.

Terrible professor. Do not take this professor's classes. The online course I took was horrendous, she never replies to emails, tests are on the textbook and no matter how hard you try you will not get a perfect score, I consulted with multiple classmates, this was the norm. No desire to help the students. Useless waste of tax dollars.

Textbook is available for free online as a PDF from the publisher. There were no lectures or slides, only a few YouTube links. I received no feedback on assignments or exams during the entire 16 weeks. Emails often went unanswered despite time-sensitive questions. Overall, I don't feel I got much instructional value for the cost of the course.
