Comment:
Class is online, 70% exam and 30% SPSS, gives no feedback, emails back in single word or half a sentence. No way to earn points back, tests are all in a style that if you get one Q wrong, every other question will be wrong as well. No interaction with students and literally doesnt teach.

Comment:
I am a psych major, so PSY211 is required. I took it in an 8 week format during the summer, and it was horrible. I worked extremely hard yet still fell short on so many exams due to the awful format... I even politely asked *halfway* through the semester if any extra credit was available and was shot down. Long story short, NOPE

Comment:
I am an all-As student...... I ended up requesting credit/no credit because I received a C. She didn't teach a single lecture. It's all self-taught. I paid for the access code, but nothing is due through it. It's only purpose is to help you study, which still didn't help me. Exams weigh HEAVY. So disappointed I paid to take this class. Horrible.

Why is she even allowed to teach? Oh wait, she doesn't. Very condescending and belittles students. Self-entitled if you ask me. Don't waste your time taking her class.

She does not lecture or host discussions or do ANYTHING to teach abnormal psych. Class format is read the book and take the tests online that are automatically graded. On papers, she gives no feedback and if you email her she replies with vague feedback as well. You're wasting money taking her class, you can just read the book for the same effect.

Comment:
This class was meh. It is very reading heavy and you spend hours just reading the textbook. The quizzes will barely effect your grade if you do well. The final and midterm are the main criteria. I spent HOURS studying and only ended up with a 70%. Everything is tedious. The papers are not bad at all and actually easy! She does not respond to emails

Overall, she was okay. The class took up a large amount of time and the work load was a lot. I felt that I had to do everything by myself and I had to read the textbook cover to cover. I could email her questions that I had but she would take awhile to respond. She was effective.

This class took up all my available time outside of my other classes. There was so much reading that was expected and the quizzes tested you on small details that could easily be missed. The exams are weighted very heavily and there is no chance to make up bad grades. This class stressed me out way more than I was expecting it to.

Comment:
Online class is awful. Very tough grader on papers. Midterm and Final are VERY heavily weighted, you could easily get a 100 on all other tests by simply reading the material, and still bomb the midterm and final, which are worth nearly 50% of your grade. I would NOT take this class online with her, she is absolutely not involved and is no help.

Katrina never answers emails back until a day or two later, and when she does it is a one-word email. I asked her what to do to receive a good grade and she told me that I was doing fine even though I was not. Do not take her PSY 250 class online it is terrible!

The professor is a very tough grader. Her lectures are okay. She will give extra credit but not much. The class needs studying and solving practice problems and is not easy.

If you have the misfortune of having to partake in a class (online or in person) with Professor Rhymer, I strongly urge you to withdraw, drop, or do not attend. Never, in 21 years, have I met an educator who cares so little about their students, her course, and education as a whole.

Show up and actually pay attention and it's possible to get an A on every test and assignment. She is great at teaching the material step by step and always checks to make sure you understand

She was definitely a tough grader. She didn't care if you showed your work or not, wrong was wrong. No partial credit or anything. Towards the end of the course she would get snippy with students when we asked her questions. Her study guides didn't really prepare us for the exams. No curved grades. No slack in this class.

This relates to the online version. I found Dr. Rhymer to be tough but fair - no late submissions and all projects/exams MUST be completed by 11:59 p.m. Friday night. She provided excellent demonstrations of the most difficult equations and responded promptly to all questions (within a day or two.) I'm a 4.0 student and I worked for the B+.

Taking this course online will NOT be easy. You need to dedicate time to read each chapter and take your own notes. She gives her notes per chapter which help with the assignments. She also gives practice tests to help study for the exam, use them. This is a difficult course to be only 8 weeks and it's all on you since she doesn't teach.

Comment:
Here is the issue. If you are a psy major w/ stats/experimental psy as your forte, she will love you & vice versa. Otherwise, she treats you like an idiot when you try to ask for help & will not go out of her way to help you understand any of it, even if you attend class. Her words to me once was, "I shouldn't have to help you. its in the notes"
