Homework every class except days when there is a quiz (quiz almost every week/two weeks). Requires ALOT of studying for good grade. No grade curve!! Super interesting material if you put in the work. Mandatory attendance. Doesn't use PPT slides. Must write your own notes! Has a "no electronics" rule. Your notes + textbook will be your best friend.

You're not allowed to use any technology in class & you're not even really allowed to get up and leave the room to use the restroom. She doesn't use powerpoints for her lectures, instead she just talks and writes on the board. I find that really ineffective because it can be disorganized and makes my notes messy trying to keep up. Oh & hw everday..

This class is for you if you like structure and if you have good work ethics. If you're a slacker, passing this class will be extremely difficult. There's homework due every week, but she gives you the homework a week in advance so there's honestly no reason why it shouldn't be done. Prepare to read. Quizzes are once a week.

Overall, this professor was not very flexible or understanding with the students. More effort could have been made to help the students get the best grades that they could. The content was interesting but the teaching methods were not good at all. I would not recommend taking this class with this professor to any future students.

Professor Couvillon's class is very structured on attendance. She also gives a lot of homework but her exams are very much like the homework (do the homework -- do well on exams). Although her class is intense, you do learn A LOT from her.

The most arrogant professor I've ever had. Speaks & answers questions so unhappily and abrasively. Attendance is CRITICAL, and she times your walking thru the door to the "T". MANDATORY reading. Disciplines & undermines students as if she'd forgotten she's there to teach UNIVERSITY level students. All about how animals learn but never humans.

Dr. Couvillion is great. She really cares about her students' learning. She also is strict in terms of the social setting of the classroom, so if you are a slacker, you probably will not succeed in this class. Great class for motivated learners who want teachers that care about the students and material.

Great class. Dr. C is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. This class take a lot of time and effort: lots of assignments. You must go to class and you can't be late otherwise you will loose points on assignments. If you want to learn, go to class, and try hard take this class.

Dr. Couvillon is a wonderful teacher and very much cares about students actually learning the material. I appreciate that she takes the time to read and comment on written assignments because improving one's writing skills and vocabulary are essential to success in higher education and to professional development.

Extremely good teacher. She actually makes learning possible & is very enthusiastic about the material. There is a lot of work, but college is supposed to be challenging. If you want to learn about psychology, better writing & how to succeed in academia I strongly recommend her class. Not for those who can't follow directions.

The class and topics are great however, she will make your life extremely difficult! She gave me an F for not double spacing an assignment, even though all the answers were correct.She is WAY to controlling, I feel like im back in elementary school.

Class is tough but very useful. the book she uses is really good, one of the best textbooks I've ever had. There's a lot of homework, but if you keep up with it, do the readings, and come to class you'll do fine.Make sure to do all the quizzes and fill-in the blanks in the textbook. also take the quizzes online. It'll help a lot with the test

One of the worst professors I have ever had. She made us do vocabulary assignments, and then made us use them in a sentence as part of the final. Gives no test make ups for any reason, and no extra credit. Could have learned entire course by just reading the text.

Comment:

She cares more about attendance than actual assignments. Thinks that she's an english teacher most of the time. Assigns us vocabulary assignments instead of focusing on psychology which she should be doing since it is a psych course. Rarely ever uses human examples. Not at ALL what i expected. Lectures are straight out of the book.

This teacher was by far one of the HARDEST I've had at UH. Her notes are very mixed up and her tests suck. They're multi-choice/fill in the blanks and essay. NO EXTRA CREDIT ever. I went to her for help and she basically kept repeating herself over and over again to just re-read the book even though I've already done that.

She is a great prof! She drills the material in your head so you are sure to remember it for test day. The tests are multi- choice/essay. If you keep up with the material, its easy to get an A.
