took her during the summer. extremely easy to pass. doesnt requiere the text books. homework:one essay(at the most 2pgs long) a week but she wll accept it at anyt time.good teacher
She's alright. She's not bad, but she's not the worst teacher I've ever had. She's not interactive with the class, so in order to pass well, you should definitely study and re-read what she taught in the textbook. Her tests are kind of hard, but her study guides are extremely helpful! No homework!! and "essays" are way easy!
she is a very pleasant teacher; lectures are ok...sometimes hard to follow when taking notes with her outlines but she gives good study guides for tests which if followed, will help assure you a good grade on tests. some essay writing, but its not hard. overall its a good class.
Dr. Brooks is awesome!
Great teacher, she's really funny and talks to you as if you're an individual, not just a student. I would highly recommend her.
cool teacher. lecture every day so prepare to take LOTS of notes. lots of writing, but its easy...gives lots of extra credit too! if you cant pass her class its because you didnt put in any effort at all. she is very easy to get along with. im taking another class from her again! adol. psy.
Please take this professor. She is simply wonderful, and an awesome teacher.
I took Wendy for General and Women PSY. Both classes were interesting and the lectures were easy. She gives you the notes online to print, gives 3 extra credit papers to write, and is willing to help you study. I took her twice b/c I knew she was good. Test are all multiple choice and that is kinda hard for me. Otherwise, take her : )
I took psychology 1. It was very interesting. You must do all homework and read the book. You have test on all chapters. The final is not that hard if you study. She made the class interesting.
Brooks is a wonderful lady she is the most wonderful teacher ive ever had. Shes very understanding and makes class interesting. This coarse requires alot of note taking. Her class is basically based on tests and extra credit make sure you do not ever miss not even one day of class.
Amazing teacher, and amazing class. She is extremely helpful and comprehensible. Her tests are multiple choice and are quite blunt and obvious, so very easy to pass. Her class is out of 700 points, and she gives you about 100 points worth of extra credit. If you do the extra credit, you can pass the class with an A without even taking the final.
Dr. Brooks is a wonderful teacher. She gives her students every opportunity to pass the class with a good grade. She offers multiple extra credit assignments and has lecture notes and study guides for you to follow if you want. I would recommend this teacher to anyone, psychology major or not. She's awesome. Great teacher!
the professor is really helpful her class is awesome strongly recommend her class just be there in all the classes and you will be okay... love her class would take it again!!! :)
Wendy Brroks is an awesome instructor. She gives extra credit assignments, too. She brings her sense of humor to the classroom.
Dr.Brooks is a great teacher. She's friendly, helpful & most importantly, isn't burnt out. Study, do xtra credit, show up, ask questions & you should do fine. It's not rocket science & she gives you ample opportunities to succeed. I've had a great experience with Dr. Brooks and she's simply awesome.
Dr. Brooks is very helpful. Her test are alright. As long as you do your notes, come to class at the time do all the extra credit. You should do great in her class. I highly recommended Dr. Brooks.
Dr. Brooks is an AMAZING teacher. She is so enthusiastic and makes the information really easy to understand. She gives you lots of opportunities for extra credit and makes it easy for you to succede. She is funny and witty has become one of my favorite professors.
Amazing professor! I'm really happy i took her class. Take her class if you need a Psychology requirement.
Dr. Brooks is a good teacher. She is a little wacky, but it fits her as psychology teacher. She makes the class pretty fun. Study for the tests though!
Great lecturer very clear
She's great! A little too perky in the morning but a great teacher! Really wants students to succeed but you can tell she gets frustrated with all the unintelligent people who are in her class. Great teacher take her!
Very good professor and works in the field full time which helps. I never got the book and never needed it except for one project which can be done in the library. Sometimes lectures can be boring but full of knowledge and she really likes what she does. Do all the extra credits, they are easy and then you don't have to do well on the tests to pass
Dr. Brooks is hands down my favorite professor! She is happy to help and keeps your attention during lectures. Very peppy, great teacher to have for morning classes! Very organized. Just follow her lecture outlines and you're all set. Lots of extra credit is offered and it's easy! Follow the study guide and you'll pass no problem. Great teacher!
She's great! Easy tests (I didn't study for a single one) and offers extra credit after every test. Attendance is worth extra credit. I did all the extra credit and was able to avoid taking the final. She's easy and fun. Loved her.
The best I have experienced at COD to date! Strongly recommend her.
Dr. Brooks is one of my favorite teachers at COD. Her class is easy if you do all the work, go to class, and dedicate a some time to studying for her tests. She offers extra credit, lots of it. I would take all of her classes if I were a Psych major. If you have an A before the final then you don't have to take it, it's a nice reward.
Great class. Informative and applies directly to daily life. Dr Brooks was informative and was clear in her communication.
Dr. Brooks class was fun and interesting. I enjoyed taking this course with her. Offers lots of extra credit. Excellent professor
easy , do all extra credits, show up to class and you'll pass even if you get low grades on tests...
She is very helpful. Lots of extra credit. Go to class, do all extra credit and be there for test and you will surely pass. Professor is nice and explains the information really good. She uses real life examples to explain every theory or concept, which allows you to understand everything. She cares for you to understand all the information.
She's such a wonderful teacher, I had her for a morning class and she's great at keeping her students awake and interested. She really explains the information thoroughly and makes it quite clear. Very nice and friendly, and is willing to answer questions. She gives lots of extra credit, and help. Overall, she's a wonderful professor.
She is an amazing teacher, shes very friendly, i would recommend using the textbook to help you take notes, it will help so much, def show up for class, shes clear on what she wants with any HW or extra credit, she gives out a lot of extra credit so take advantage of it, i pick her over any other psy teacher
awesome prof! attendance is apart of your grade but you wont want to miss her lectures. easy A. she is so funny.
Professor Brooks is great! She is very nice and willing to help her students out. She'll explain things from the book then use examples from her own life which helps concepts stick. I felt it was a pretty easy class and I didn't use the textbook. Definitely recommend taking her for Intro to Psych!
Dr. brooks is really cool and awesome. She's very helpful and gives study guides for her tests. She assigns a couple of short essays. If you put in the work, you will pass her class. If you gain enough points then you dont have to take the final! Remember to attend class and dont show up late.
I loved her class. If you do the extra credits then you have nothing to worry about. Even completely missing one of the tests wouldn't hurt much.
She is awesome.
I really enjoyed her psychology of women class! I'm so happy that I took Dr. brooks class. Her lectures are really good and she is super funny! To be honest I like how she teaches than the other Psychology professors I've taken at COD. If you are majoring in psychology you have to take one of her classes! Plus she gives extra credit:)
Attendance is important! She gives 3 extra credit opportunities and you should do them all to be on the safe side. Study guides are helpful and the order of the study guides are in the order of the test. She's rarely cancels class & is always on time.
Dr. Brooks is very straight forward and funny. She tells you what she expects from the beginning and provides you with every opportunity to get an "A" in her class. The study guides on Blackboard should be used for the class to be easier than the traditional studying. Plenty of extra credit. Points are cumulative.
I love Dr. Brooks, she is awesome at teaching! She has a great personality and she is very clear with the material. She is always there if a student needs help. I would recommend her class to everyone. She does give weekly assignments but there pretty easy, you basically write about what you learned from the weekly lecture.
this class will change your life. passionate teacher who is a part time psychologist.
Dr. Brooks is amazing! First time taking her class and I loved it! She makes class interesting, she's funny, she's there for her students... Don't slack off, do the work and you'll pass. Totally recommend her.
Her criteria for full credit is very clear, her lectures are engaging, and she wants all of her students to be prepared for University--exactly the type of professor we need! Yes her class is easy, but you learn here!
All around great teacher! I highly recommend taking ANY class that she offers. She is very clear with expectations and with delivery of materiallectures. She is helpful, inspiring, fair, hilarious and engaging. She gives you chapter outlines, study guides for tests and offers plenty of extra credit. Making flash cards helped me a lot. She's great!
Professor Brooks is a teacher that is down to earth and keeps the class interesting. She brings her real world experience to the class which makes the material easy to understand. She gives you plenty of opportunity to succeed in the class and is very clear of what she expects from you.
She's a awesome teacher the way she grades is like no other teacher I've ever had . Your grade can never go down its constantly going up .... Take the class with her and you'll understand why
She is BY FAR THE BEST professor I've ever had. I wouldn't say her class is easy but if you put in the work and show up to class you'll most definitely pass. She is firm, but fair. She brings her own experiences into the lectures which makes it funny and interesting. I often felt like she was just having casual conversations with us.
Dr Brooks was amazing! This class is tough. You will need to study and show up daily or you will not pass. It is a lot of material but, she is there for you all the way. Very enthusiastic professor with a high passion for teaching. Tests are hard, a few essays due, but she gives extra credit and study guides. Not an easy A but worth it for her.
Great teacher! I almost switched to being a psych major after taking her because not only is she knowledgable, she has a sense of humor and makes learning fun. Didn't read the textbook that much because she was always clear and covered the material, but it does let you get ahead in the lectures sometimes and it's not too boring.
Brooks is a good teacher and this class is not hard at all if you try.
She's an amazing professor. Do the easy 10 reaction papers. One big writing assignment at the end of the semester. Do the study guides and you'll pass the 3 (including the final) exams. She's the BEST psychology professor. I try to take her other psychology classes. She knows what she's talking about because she's a clinical psychologist.
Dr. Brooks seems to be a dedicated professional educator who also gives back to her community. It is obvious she is very well versed and educated in her field, but the most important aspect is I believe she has a real passion for helping other. I not only though she was a "breath of fresh air" as an instructor, I also liked her very much personal
Best psych teacher at cod!! Her class is all lecture but shes a great speaker!! 4 tests, 1 final, and 1 paper. does give attendence points. Lots of extra credit too!!! Gives study guides for tests. She is great, almost makes me want to be a psych major ;)
Great professor! Fair grading and her humor makes class enjoyable. Fully lecture, but I never felt bored. No powerpoints, but she provides note taking guides if you choose to use those. One easy paper, 4 tests and a final. No bad things to say about this prof. Definitely don't slack, but extra cred is offered.
Dr. Brooks is an amazing professor! Her class is fairly easy! Although she does give long lectures, she provides a guide for her lectures. Test are just like the lecture guides. Textbook is not necessary but helpful when need extra help! She also gives out extra credit! Fun and enthusiastic professor! Would recommend to anyone!
Dr. Brooks is one of the best professors I've ever had at COD. She sets her class up so her students will pass. Seriously, you have to try to fail. She gives out extra credit, points for just showing up to class, and provides lecture outlines so you know what is important to pay attention to. Her sense of humor made this class so fun!
Great teacher! Simply show up, print study guides, and you will pass! She's very helpful and teaches you everything she can.
Best professor at COD I've ever had. Very nice, very smart, and very funny. Class and lectures are always interesting, you'll never want to miss a class!
Dr. Brooks is such an amazing professor. She's absolutely hilarious and one of the only professors I can handle lecturing with no visual aides. She offers a decent amount of extra credit as long as you turn in all of your assignments. If you have any questions, she will work one on one with you. I would highly recommend her class.
Dr. Brooks is absolutely amazing. doesnt use power point which is a plus. If you take notes all semester you don't need to purchase the book in order to get an A.
Dr. Brooks is one of my favorite professors at COD! Her lectures are incredible. Her tests are fair but you WILL have to study well to pass. She expects high standards from all students and honestly that's how it should be. Too many people didn't pass because they underestimated her tests, didn't show up to class, or didn't study.
I can't say enough about how great Dr. Brooks is! Great lectures, funny stories, incredible class discussions, clear grading structure and expectations! Attendance is a must. You have to study well for her class. Her tests are lengthy but fair. High standards. Study, don't miss class and miss assignments are you should do well. :)
Can't say enough about Dr. Brooks! I have taken three classes to date with her. Great lectures, funny personal stories, and fair grader. Don't miss class or homework assignments! Gives great feedback on assignments. One big paper is due. Very approachable. Study study study well for her tests and you will pass.
Really knows how to bring in your attention during class. gives amazing lectures and ties them to personal experiences in order to understand it better. Gives out a good amount of extra credit and supplies you with outlines of all the lectures.
She was Awesome!! She has outlines for every lecture and study guides. I study a little each day and used flashed cards. Did all the extra credit and passed with an A
Dr Wendy Brooks is an excellent professor, she has a clear grading criteria that is easily able to be understood and students can easily receive an A if they apply themselves to do the work and study. She can be a little awkward but thats okay, she makes up for it by being funny and very social which makes this class very interesting.
She has awesome lectures that she relates to herself or the class in some way. I had her at 8am and she was never boring. Gives you three extra credit opportunities and gives you the study guides for all the Exams and the Final the first day. Take good notes and come everyday. Easy A if you put in some effort.
She is an amazing and caring teacher. Her class was easy to pass.
She's a very intelligent woman. She gives you the opportunity to earn extra credit. Lots of material learned in a short amount of time. I kind of wished I took her class for a full semester rather than a summer course. Overall, great personality. Take notes! They will come in handy when studying for each exam!
Dr. Brooks was amazing. She makes long lectures fun and easy to understand. The only reason I gave this class a 3 for difficulty was because there are 4 tests, not including the final, that are around 75 questions each. There is a lot of memorizing, but she gives outlines for each test which tells you exactly what to study! A lot of ex credit too!
Dr. Brooks is amazing! She makes every class a group discussion and really makes adolescent psych fun. She gives a lot of extra credit which helps a lot. The only somewhat difficult aspect of the class was the tests. As long as you study you'll be fine. She gives outlines for every test and it tells you exactly what to study. I ended with over 100%
I totally recommend you take Prof Brooks! She cares about her students, gives clear instructions on what she expects and wants She makes you work for your A! She wants you to actually learn, so she makes you read the book, write chapter papers and all her study guides are outlines of what to expect on the test not just multiple choice! She's a Gem!
Her class is pretty easy. Follow her lecture outline for the notes, it will be lifesaving. Study guides for example are extremely helpful. Took her class in the summer and it has been one of the more enjoyable classes i've taken at COD.
Awesome professor! Makes the class really interesting and she definitely knows the material like the back of her hand. Would definitely recommend her if youre looking for a psychology class. If you study and pay attention to what shes teaching theres no reason not to get an A+
Dr. Brooks is an AMAZING professor! Shes very caring and will answer any questions you may have. She will do anything within her power to help you succeed in her class. As long as you pay attention in class, take notes, do the work, and take advantage of her study guide, youll pass.
Her lectures were really clear. She knows how to make the class enjoyable.
Dr. Brooks is outstanding! Worth taking an 8am class! Enthusiastic and very knowledgeable! I took her class this past fall 2018. Had 4 exams including the final and one writing assignment! She offered 3 extra credit opportunities that I suggest you take! Show up, take notes, do extra credit, study, and you have an A!
Love her! She explains lessons clearly so don't be afraid to ask any questions. She is very energetic, her grading is fair, and she offers few extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. She is a very caring person and makes the class enjoyable but its not an easy A unless you actually put in effort, do the extra credit, and study!
Had to retake Psych cause I had a lot going on in my life but Dr. Brooks was definitely a blessing. She is very clear in what she wants form students and the study guides she provides do indeed have everything that's in the exams. Study, attend class, and listen in the lectures and it will be a well-deserved A.
Professor Brooks is a very knowledgable person when it comes to psychology. She always keep the class engaged and she is also hilarious. The way she compares real life to the material is so helpful. The workload in her class is light, you just have to make sure you really study for the exams and you're all set. Gonna miss having her for a class!
She really cares about her students. There is an abundance of extra credit. She is very memorable. Her study guides are exactly what's on the test. If you want to learn and have fun while doing so shes the professor for you. Since I got all A's on her tests and did some extra credit I got a 93% in her class and didn't have to take the final.
Dr. Brooks is an incredible professor! Her lectures are always interesting and she is very interactive with the students. I truly enjoyed her class! She provides students with study guides for her exams so you know what you're expecting. If you don't pass the class it means you're just lazy. Would definitely take her again!
Dr. Brooks is amazing! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone
Dr. Brooks was a great professor to have in my first semester of college. Her class not only helped me understand the basics of psychology, but she also shared many test taking tips as well. She gives points for every day you are there, gives plenty of extra credit, and no homework (but we did have a paper once, she helped). Just make sure to study
Fun during lectures, lays out expectations clearly, very understanding and reasonable.
Amazing professor. Her lectures are always fun and interesting.
Super amazing teacher. Her lectures are enjoyable and she is overall caring. Tests are easy if you use her study guide. Do all the extra credit and do good on the test and you wont have to do the final.
Had Professor Brooks my first semester of college and she was fun to have. She is really funny and fun to have, however the exams can be hard if you do not study, and make sure to do extra credit to help pass the class or help not take the final by the end of semester.
Dr. Brooks is an amazing professor, she adjusted well to online classes. Her class was enjoyable and she gives good lectures. TAKE NOTES and you will pass. She also gives open book quizzes.
She is very strict on assignments and grading. The zoom lectures are boring and don't teach you anything. Assignment turn in times are awkward and she only gives about an hour extra to turn it in incase anything happened. I would try to avoid this professor as much as possible. 2/10 would not take again.
Professor Brooks is awesome. Although it was tough being that it was online she still made it fun and she gives really clear great lectures. No homework, just pop quizzes and assignments here and there but nothing super hard as long as you pay attention.
Dr. Brooks's Social Psychology class was definitely the best class I've ever had. I felt the pleasure of being challenged in a way that made learning extremely rewarding. She really cares about her students and donates much of her own extra time to help each one individually. It was beyond my expectations!
Good teacher. She answers very fast in canvas when you have questions. If you do the work and try your going to pass easy. She is very detailed with what she wants and expects on work.
Dr. Brooks is an amazing teacher! I am currently taking her class and I have never gotten bored since the lectures are very entertaining and easy to follow. I have learned so much and I am extremely happy that I have Dr. Brooks as my professor.
Assignments were due at the beginning of class even though this was done through virtual learning.
Loved her. Great teacher
I've never had a teacher like her! Her class is like a addictive TV show that you just can't wait to see again. She keeps you interested and gives feedback after every work. I highly recommend her class!
Dr. Brooks was an amazing professor and my favorite this semester by far. Her lectures are funny and easy to understand. She usually does two weekly quizzes, but they are very short and easy if you pay attention to her lectures. Attendance is mandatory and is included in the final grade. Quick grader and includes helpful comments!
AMAZING! AMAZING! Dr. Brooks goes above and beyond to help you be successful in this class. Attend class, participate, and USE the resources she provides.
I took her class during the summer, and it was not that bad regarding time; however, 8 weeks would be better than 6 weeks due to all the information received. She cares about her students' success and gives us all the tools to make it possible. Her lectures are engaging and fun; you will laugh at least once during the session. 100% recommended.
Dr. Brooks is an amazing professor. She always wants to ensure the success of her students and is very understanding. I had forgotten a couple of quizzes and she opens them back up for you if you email her. Her lectures are also very interesting and I always cracked a laugh she's so funny. She also always explains her assignments and is helpful.
Dr.Brooks was an amazing professor would absolutely take again. Workload was manageable. There were a few writing assignments throughout the semester and quizzes every week, but they were not too hard. Pay attention in class and take notes (use the outlines she provides!) and you will easily succeed!
Dr. Brooks is truly a great teacher! I was thinking about switching my major after taking her class. You will learn a lot in her class and it's very entertaining. Highly recommend her!
Do the extra credit. She gives clear instructions many times and you are expected to follow through as an adult. Turn your written assessment in early she will grade it, allow you to edit the paper, and turn it in again if it's before the due date. She won't lower her standards, but she is an excellent teacher and will guide you.
I highly recommend prof brooks I took her for research methods. Be prepared to read and write A LOT. You will develop essential skills to read/ analyze research papers in this class. She grades on attendance and gives extra credit so extra points! All exams/ quizzes are based on lec/the textbook. There is a final research paper and exam.
Dr. Brooks was a really great professor, she always gives clear instructions on assignments and tells interesting stories. I highly recommend taking her class especially if it is your first semester at COD.
Professor brooks is amazing. All her work is given in a timely manner. She does everything that she can in order for her students to succeed. There are 2 quizzes each week but are easy if you attend class and do notes. Attendance is mandatory!
One of the best professors at this school. She definitely understands what she teaches, and makes it clear she wants to see you do well. There're many opportunities to meet her outside of class, and is very willing to work with you on concerns. I wish more teachers were like her, she's funny, understanding, and willing to go the extra mile.
Best professor throughout my entire college experience. Although I am not majoring in psych, her lectures made me consider switching. She is very understanding and genuinely wants to see her students succeed. I would take all her courses if I attended this school.
Dr. Brooks is by far one of the best professors I had the privilege of taking. Her lectures are amazing, well organized and is extremely knowledgable in the field. Assignments were given to build on the previous to help students understand each step carefully.
Dr. Brooks is an excellent professor who never failed to wake us up with her humorous and outgoing personality. Her class is straight to the point, and the lectures were always a blast.
Dr. Brooks is a fantastic professor who makes learning engaging and fun. The workload is manageable, and she provides helpful resources like outlines to succeed. unstuck ai is a great study tool to complement the class materials.
Wendy Brooks was one of the most engaging professors I've taken at COD. However, two times in the semester she implied that pro-palastine was antisemetic and that it's spreading on campuses. I was respectful of her views, but when it was apparent we disagreed fundamentally, my final was affected. Interestingly, to her this makes you, "dyslexic".
It is really hard to understand what she wanted in her class.
Intro to psy was very interesting and engaging. I liked learning about study habits and effective note taking, along with interesting chapters/lectures. One BIG assignment and small test based on chapters/lectures every Friday and small assignments throughout semester. She is good at teaching. all her information sticks bcs of the examples¬es.
She's is a fantastic educator. As she lectures she provides real world examples, has us repeat certain things out loud and answers any questions big or small(kind of similar to a mark k lecture in a way) . I learned alot and will take her next semester because of her teaching style she made the criteria interesting
She's so funny! I absolutely love her stories that she uses for examples in class. The assignments are well create and her canvas is sooo organized. Everything is shown at the beginning, and you absolutely know what you are getting yourself in throughout the semester! She loves to know about you, and genuinely cares about each person.
Even she might seen as a little serious or strict. She is very helpful and nice always ask questions, make sure to take a lot of notes also and most importantly print your study guide and complete it ! that is what helps you in the exams. Due your assignments in the same day they are assign to you so you don't lose points. overall good.
I took Dr. Brooks intro to psych class. She is organized, clear, & quick to reply. This class has 2 easy quizzes weekly plus occasional assignments. She values participation, keeps lectures fun & engaging, & makes the material manageable. She is funny and supportive. Participation matters, she's fair but firm. I'd gladly take another class with her
Dr. Brooks was great! Highly Recommended. She is clear about her expectations. Assignments are not hard just follow the prompts. She pushes her students to do better. I enjoyed her lectures and kept things interesting. Can't wait to take another class with her! 2 complaint: get this professor a better white board and markers, and a space heater
