Comment:

All the classes after the second midterm had nothing to do with the exam. Better off just doing the readings. Wasted my time going to class and did worse in the end because the exam was so reading based compared to the midterms that were based on what we learned on class. Terrible teacher. I got an A and an A+ on my midterms, finished with a B+.

Honestly do yourself a favour and dont take her. I went to the first class and didn't show up to the rest. I did much better reading the textbook and studying myself. The first midterm is easy while the second midterm she made impossible. FInal wasnt bad. The online quizzes and ISPR gave you a bonus 10%.

Very nice woman, but don't bother going to class if you don't want to. Lecture slides are good to review, but study mainly from the textbook. Half of the midterm and most of final was info from the text that was never mentioned. Shows great videos in class and delivers material pretty well, but focus more on the textbook if you want to do well

I think I attended maybe 2 classes other than midterms. This prof is no question the worst prof I have had in university. She is very monotone and dry in her lectures, her voice is annoying, and she uses an overhead projector circa 1985. Just read the textbook and you'll pass, no point suffering through the lectures. Avoid if possible.

Comment:

her lectures are constant information flow and she uses the overhead projector but she still goes fast. i recommend buying the course pack which is the written version of all these notes, study from that pack and use the textbook only for the exam. FYI: this prof is a witch.. she talks like daffy duck and looks like cruella de vil.

She's not a very honest person when it comes to telling students what to expect on the exams. She sets a lot of questions from the textbook and her notes so study both.

Comment:

I'm in science, so i thought this course would be easy-peasy like it is but it is no bird course. LOTS of reading because the prof wasn't coherent enough so you have to read the textbook, her notes are not needed like at all. Just make study notes with the definitions on the side of the textbook.

BEWARE: Ive taken 2 courses with her, and it seems her habit is to make the first midterm quite easy which lulls you into a sense of security, don't fall for it! Her exams get progressively harder with the final being the worst. Also, she does NOT use blackboard, you have to be in class to get the notes, she goes quite fast so I recommend typing

Classes make me want to cry, can't pay attention because it's slow-paced and I can't understand a word she says. The notes seem like they come from outer space; when I google things to try and find an explanation, she has the theory names and concepts all mixed together in a modge-podge. Textbook is a waste of money. Syllabus is long and confusing.

The worst professor I have ever had at the University of Ottawa. She talks without saying anything. The whole class feels like it's being dragged out. Read the course pack and you'll be fine

Comment:

Took this class as an elective because I loved psychology in high school but this class was a lot harder than expected. Boring lectures of copying down projector slides. She is very unclear and her tests are hard because the material on the exams comes from everywhere and the questions are very specific.

She does not teach what she puts on the exam and has a weird way of organizing them. The class is extremely dry and she can be hard to understand sometimes. I would take this class again, but with a better prof

Comment:

The material in her 3 hour lectures could be conveyed in 1.5 hours, but she drags out the class with bad connections and analogies to make the 3 hour mark. She takes 25 minute breaks in the middle because she needs time to "collect herself" rather than letting you out early. As a person, she's incredibly kind though!

Uses an overhead and is one of the most boring lecturers I have ever had to endure. If there is another prof option, you will likely want to go with that.

I would normal give her a bad rating because she is not a good teacher at all. Although, her course is so easy, and I did very well despite not going to a single lecture. If you're okay with reading the textbook on your own, she'll work out for you! The material is super straightforward!

Comment:

She expects you to read the chapters she assigns before the next class; she walks around asking questions about the material in the textbook instead of actually lecturing. Still uses overhead slides. You can find all of the overhead slide notes online, so you don't really have to go to class. I never did tbh, just read the chapters.

She is very monotone and her lectures are extremely boring. She doesn't use any slides, she uses an overhead projector... AN OVERHEAD PROJECTOR! honestly, my advice is avoid this her unless you enjoy being bored out of your mind.

Comment:

Says a lot of unnecessary words during lectures, and teaches a lot of Freud's theories, but never mentions the fact that Freud didn't even believe his published theories as most psychoanalysts applied them.
