Prof Quinton is a great professor if PSY is your thing. I personally took it for pre req and do not like PSY which made the course impossible. She expects a lot out of you. Exam material comes from textbook, lecture slides, and also just things she says. Takes random attendance for extra credit. Very clear and helpful but have to work for grade

Dr. Quinton is a great professor! Lectures are interesting (on major figures in psych history) and very easy to follow. Read the assigned book chapters because exam questions come from both lecture and textbook. 4 exams (multiple choice & short answer) and 1 short critical analysis paper.

Absolutely amazing! If you want to pursue psychology as a career path 100% take one of her classes. She is amazing at explaining concepts and there aren't many assignments (if any) on top of the exams, so it's not overwhelming at all. Her expectations for the class are extremely clear and organized. Defiantly my favorite prof at UB!

Dr. Quinton is a great professor! Her lectures are very clear and she's great at telling personal stories. The class is graded based on 4 tests... but if you take notes in class and study those notes you'll do great. She requires a textbook. BIGGEST TIP: Do the practice quizzes for each chapter in Appendix A... she tends to put some in the tests!!

Dr. Quinton is a great professor! The class was graded on four tests, and studying the lecture notes and textbook thoroughly will prepare you for the tests. While attendance isn't necessarily mandatory, she does randomly check attendance for a chance for extra credit. Overall, great class and I would definitely take another class with her.

The only thing I didnt like about this course was only being graded on 4 tests. I think I could have done better if there was homework. However, Professor Quinton is amazing, I wish I could have her again. Her tests were tough, but if you put in the effort youll do good. I looked forward to this class everyday, I would highly recommend her

Professor Quinton is one of the best professors I've had so far at UB. She is highly knowledgeable in her field and gives useful lectures. She truly cares about each of her students and gives excellent advice for a future in psychology. Her class was reasonable as long as you put in the effort to study as it is graded mainly on exams.

Class is only graded by exams, each with a absurd amount of content. No open note, resource sheets, or any other tools. Pure memorization. She teaches exclusively off slides and does not allow any technology in her room regardless of its use. For her exams you memorize weeks of material from her slides and 150 pages of textbook content.

Wendy is also very funny and deeply cares about her students. The material is not hard, just a lot of info to memorize. If taking psy 101, you must pick her for the best experience

Very great professor. Her lectures are interesting and keep you entertained. Graded off of 4 exams, which are textbook knowledge heavy, so be ready to read and do notes. Unless you attend lectures, read the textbook, and do her fair game sheets, you will struggle. If you do those things effectively, you're guaranteed a good grade.

Lectures were entertaining, you're graded on 4 exams (with curve). The exams are all memorization with lots of reading but she gives a fair games sheet on what specifically to read. You're required to have 9 research credits where you participate in research (basically just surveys or easy computer things). It's a tech free class so all handwritten

Test material is mainly from the textbook not from the actual lectures. She occasionally takes attendance, no tech policy. This course is pretty much only structured from exams which I'm not a fan of, I feel as if we should have supplementary weekly assignments to keep us refreshed and up to date on the material, it's very helpful.

I liked Quinton's style of teaching. The class was funny and enjoyable. The class is graded on 4 exams, which are relatively easy if you do the work. She posts what parts of the reading will be on the exam a week before. Notes also must be taken on paper, but I enjoy it because it makes it easier to process. I would recommend this class and her.

She is a good speaker and probably a good person. But she bases all of her grades off of just four exams. Alone it wouldn't be a problem but almost all other SUNY schools have easy Psych 101 classes.
