Nice lady but an extremely boring class even for a psych major. Tests were hard only because studying the material was so incredibly boring.

She is one of the best psychology professors CofC has. Exams include a lot of applied material and you do have to study, but class is fun, interesting, and she provides great examples and makes sure you understand the material. A few exams, 4 in class group assignments, and one intervention paper and group presentation. Interesting and worth it!

The best Psych professor at the college. She is very passionate about her work and truly cares about her students. She also tells great stories in her classes about her work. Highly recommend taking her for Abnormal or any other psych class! You rock Dr. Simonian!

Great Teacher. Powerpoint Lectures that are very interesting and clear. Multiple Choice Tests that are VERY DIFFICULT. She is very lively, funny, and charismatic. She talks a lot about weed which i thought was interest, lol.

I LOVE HER. her lectures are clear, very interesting, and very informative. her real life experiences and examples offer a lot to the course. on top of that, she is so sweet with a good sense of humor. she is very fair in testing and grades and is always more than willing to help and answer questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY OF HER CLASSES.

Simonian is a great professor. Her lectures are clear, her tests are fair, and she is very willing to help you. I would recommend child psychopathology with her if you're interested in that area.

She is such a sweet lady & really willing to help you out if you dont understand. We had 3 tests, a health profile paper, and a final. She takes attendance as well. I would definitely recommend taking her!

She's a really nice person and has alot of experience. She makes the subject very interesting and always includes stories from her practice to help understand the disorders. Her tests are sometimes kind of confusing but you learn alot from her. TAKE HER!

Every time I came to these classes my anxiety skyrocketed. I am type A, Simonian is not so much, she doesnt keep on topic!!!!;likes to discuss new movies and never gets through lectures on time.She's always hyped up.Lectures are the one's sent to her w/ book. I skipped the last 3 weeks of class,read chapters myself, made a B on final.

I have mixed feelings about this class. I loved Dr. Simonian, but the material was somewhat confussing and it was based more on applied info than the actual powerpoints or lectures. Tests were 50 MC questions, 1 paper, and comprehensive final. Helpful professor but more like a Bio class.

Very animated, and makes the already interesting material of Abnormal Psychology even more interesting. Read the book. Tests are multiple choice with one essay. Offers extra credit opportunities.

Simonian is really an awesome teacher! In the textbook, the material was honestly a bit dry, but she livens it up considerably in class with real life stories and anecdotes. Her powerpoints are great- but def. read the book (atleast night before (fresh in head) as she does take some specifics in the tests.

great class. i learned a lot. it can be heavier into biology than some other psych courses. tests can be tricky, there are some specific questions straight from the book. she really wants to make sure you understand the material though and is willing to work with you and explain things. one short paper was required, but it wasn't bad. loved it!

She is a great professor. She will definitely keep you awake in lecture. This class has been very interesting and I highly recommend her as well as health psych. Tests are 50 multiple choice and pretty straight forward. If have any questions, just ask her and she will definitely help you out.

She is very interesting, but the honors psych course is VERY HARD. dont take it unless you plan to work your butt off. you have to know specfic details from the textbook, and studying for tests is like guesswork. Hardest class i have ever taken.
