Comment:
The reason I felt it was necessary to leave a comment is my experience with Bastone in her office. She was curt, rude, and downright uncompassionate when I went to her about a personal issue. Definitely the kind of person who goes by the book and not by the conscience. You can be firm AND diplomatic in the way you talk to a student.

Do not recommend taking this course. Professor Bastone is funny but not her teaching is very poor. I would never take a class with her again. I actually want my money back.

Comment:
Absolutely horrible. Social psych is an interesting field, and Prof. Bastone is very knowledgeable, but her lectures were dull, uninspiring, and filled with irrelevant tangents and information. The exams were unreasonably long, and she never attempted to engage us in dialogue or critical thinking. Do NOT recommend.

Comment:
Love her. She is such a nice person and an interesting lecturer. Sometimes she goes off on tangents which some people find hard to follow but I love this quality about her. She'll take her lecture wherever the class takes it. Be prepared to write and think a lot. She expects a lot of her students but I think that is a good thing.

She's not horrible. Spends a lot of time explaining useless minor details. She once spent about 20 minutes explaining 6 times 1. Can get frustrating. Just read the textbook and learn the definitions and concepts and you can't go wrong

Comment:
I felt like I deserved a better grade, but I just let it go and knew that I would never have to worry about taking another class with her ever again. I went to her office one and she was really rude. Another thing, she gives homework every week but there is no feedback...you don't know what you did right or wrong.

I don't know how linda is for other classes, but i can tell you not to take her for jr. sem. she is very intelligent but not very helpful. she spends half the class talking about nothing relevant and then blows u off quickly when u ask questions.

I took Psychology of Stereotypes with Bastone. She is alos my advisor. She is a very knowledgable Professor. She is relatable and a fabolous teacher. She is fair and expects her students to put in the effort for the grade. This class was wonderful and I am defientely going to take anouther class with her in the future.

Dreaded Stats and left it knowing alot. Effort is something you need to put forth in Linda's class. She doesn't take laziness or crap from anyone. An admirable trait. She made stats more interesting than I could ever think possible. I would take another class with her if she wasn't a psych prof.

it's true, she doesn't hold class up for the stragglers, so just don't be one. she is brilliant, interesting, and challenging. Just do the reading and you will have nothing to worry about. she is also a powerful ally...don't miss this opportunity kids.

Comment:
One of the nicest professors i came across at purchase. didn't treat me like a number in her class. go to her class and read her assignments and you'll be fine. and if you happen to play basketball take her up on a challenge at the purchase gym with her homie Prof. Shah. She helped me out a lot when i was at purchase. Thanks Professors, we need more teachers like you.
