Comment:
She is an excellent teacher. She just expects you to show up to class and do the work. Hello?!?!? Those who get that do very well, those who do not, don't. You get the grade you deserve in this class. If you are lazy or want special treatment, don't take this class. If you want to be challanged and learn somthing, take it for sure.

She is a nice teacher, but most of the students, me included, could never figure out what we learned by the end of class. She expects us to know what she's talk about even though she was never clear on any of the topics. Don't get caught talkng in class, she'll take 20 points away from your participation grade.

Professor Friel expects class participation and attendance. Her class is fairly easy as long as you show up and make some sort of effort. She sincerely cares for her students, and will follow up with you if you miss class. She grades papers based upon effort put into them.

I enjoyed Sister Friel as a professor. She may have not been the most exciting professor, but she gives you a lot of writing assignments which gives you the opportunity to keep your grade up in the class if you do well on the assignments. If you show up to every class, listen and do all the HW you will get an A no problem at all!

Comment:
She really is a well meaning lady but she also has some issues with focus. I learned a lot about the history of Psych, and a lot about random topics, but very generalized info on everything else in the text. I have an A in this class, but I'm not sure I would take her again, just because it wasn't very challenging at all.

She frequently talks about how her students are lazy and unaware of the world around them. I would not recommend this class. I learned more in my high school psych class than I did in this one.

This professor is not clear AT ALL what she expects from her students. She grades papers harshly and gives little to no feedback. Her lessons are off topic and you learn more by just reading the textbook. I would NOT recommend this class.

Terrible, terrible! She is not good with accommodating with people with learning disabilities. She would get off topic and talk about things that weren't even in the book. DON'T TAKE HER! Even people that have gotten A's previously were doing bad..

Comment:
Prof Friel is generally compassionate but gets very off topic. She doesn't have a lot of grades so everything counts. Our only test was our final. She does not stay with the book or give out any sort of guidelines for the final. She is extremely hard to fallow even though i have only missed a class. If you want to do well you must work out of class

The class was very interesting! Every week I left class feeling happy and smarter. :) Sister Friel was awesome, yes she did sometimes sidetrack and I loved it! So much knowledge to share I read the other comments and I cant believe what some people said! Surely their slackers! Sister Friel does want a lot of participation and you will need to do a lot of reading but what do you expect in College!

Comment:
Her grading left a lot to be desired, could not follow and she was unwilling to give a grade at mid-term. She taught at a higher level then 111 and was not always clear. She also recorded grades incorrectly, so be aware and check your grades. She also wasn't consistant when she graded reading logs.

Comment:
She generally says focused on topic, but sometimes she gets so side tracked and expects us to learn the stuff she gets side tracked with. She lets certain students have free reign but then others she watches like a hawk. And she gets so picky with somethings its annoying. Overall if you do what she wants and don't disagree you'll do fine.
