She teaches directly from the textbook so you only have to skim it and she pretty much tells you what to study for the test. It should be an easy A

Comment:
She was a great teachers, the mean comments come because they are true. She can be condescending i think it is only because she has become tired of teaching, she is still a great teacher and the memoirs are intersting

Comment:
She's a bitter old conservative cow. Professor Halgin is extremely condescending and rather rude to students. I usually like teachers who are rather strict, and organized, but this fossil of a woman is the definition of anal retentive. Instead of focusing on important intro material, she has you reading memoirs. She's a dreadful teacher.

I loved her! Had her as a RAP professor and she was so sweet. Pretty easy class. You just need to do the essays and her oral quizzes. Her class was really straightforward. She's a little old fashioned, but it makes it even more funny to participate in discussions with her. Definitely take the class with her if you can!!

Comment:
A delightful little class. You learn quite a bit and she's forthcoming with help if you need it. A fair amount of work, but nothing too taxing. Lecture notes will not be helpful. Buy the textbook and use it - she moves at a fast pace, which makes things interesting but near impossible to write down.

Comment:
I had her as a Psych TAP student. I love her, she is hilarious. Her tests are easy, multiple choice and an essay that she gives you ahead of time to study. In class notes go quick so dont bother but study the text book instead and the points that she talks about in class. You watch a movie every day in class. Study the articles! 1 oral presenation.

My class was only 40 students, so I don't know how she in in large lectures, however, she was a fantastic teacher and a really nice person. Definitely knowledgeable and helpful. Homework and exams are reasonable. You'll learn a lot!

This class was okay. After 4 years of psychology, whatever she taught in class was repetitive. With that said, she is a great teacher.

She can be intimidating but she is an amazing teacher and really knows what she is talking about. She really made an effort to connect to the students and help us out, or even just talk to us before/after class. I hope I can take another class with her!

Dr. Halgin is amazing. Take her class and get to know her, she will be the most helpful person you can get to know at umass. Try to become a psych student advisor. If you work for her she becomes indesposable to you.
