This is what you need to do to get a 4.0 with Linda: Register for class. Don't buy book. Attend class once and laugh heartily at her stories and jokes. Watch Netflix and nap at in bed for the rest of the semester. When you don't get a good grade on the exams, make up a sad story. Congratulations, you've just earned yourself a 4.0 in Social Psych!

Comment:
Linda seems like a wonderful person and the class is very easy. However, you do have to watch the lectures which she hasn't updated in 2 years in order to answer the quizzes that you can complete whenever throughout the semester. She's very unorganized and I had to speed up the her voice X2 in order to make it through each lecture.

Comment:
If you go to class she will literally tell you questions that will be on the exam and what the answers are. If you go to class you'll pass. And if you're having a hard time during the test, if you go up and ask a question she'll basically give you the answer.

Comment:
Very entertaining, but frequently goes off topic. She doesn't sugar coat anything and gives you the information you need. Very relaxed class. Fairly easy (as long as you go to class and know the material). However, if you prefer a more straight-to-the-point teaching style, Yelland isn't for you.

Comment:
Linda is an awesome professor. Her tests are not easy at the higher level, especially if you do not study. She is willing to work with you with any type of conflict. She is my favorite Psychology professor because she cares about her students and tries to make the material interesting - unlike a majority of the professors in the psych department.

Excellent professor who truly cares about her students. I would recommend all psych majors take this class with her. She makes even the most mundane topics interesting.

Comment:
This is one of the best classes I have ever taken. To be honest, it is a pretty easy class, but that reflects Linda's personality. She's extremely kind, and genuinely wants all of her students to succeed. I did have to study a little for the tests. This class teaches you so many things that can help you out in your personal life. It is a must-take.

Comment:
I don't get the hype. I've taken two of Linda's classes and I wasn't impressed with either of them. She seems nice enough but if you actually want to learn something, I'm sorry to say you'll probably be disappointed. She teaches required Psy classes so if that's your major you'll have her at least once.

Comment:
I didn't think she was all that great or smart. Other students love her because her classes are easy, watered, down, and she tells funny stories about herself. But as a serious student I didn't like her. I don't feel like we learned much. But you can't argue with popularity.

I LOVE MAMA LINDA! She's funny, the class is easy and interesting (if you're a Psych major, most of the material will come up in other classes). She has a sense of humor.

Comment:
She is by far the sweetest professor I've ever had. She will help you tremendously if you ask. She does ramble about off-topic things, a lot. BUT, some of the subjects she teaches are pretty boring and her stories help make them more bearable. As an advisor she's useless. She doesn't want to be one and it shows. Seek guidance elsewhere!!!

i've only been to one class this semester. i still got a 90 on the first exam. she's a nice, fun person, but she's almost always babbling off about random stuff. don't bother going to class or even watch the videos online. just read the book and you're fine. unless you want to wake up at 7am or watch her online talking about her dog for 20 minutes

Mama Linda is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. While I understand why some people say the class doesn't require much thought it's not the case. She just has a different teaching style--teaching through story telling--rather than bland lecturing. She's fun, funny, and very willing to help.
