Professor is behind in lectures then expects you to catch up. If you miss a class its like youre missing six of them. She doesnt prepare you for exams horrible professor. Do not take her course unless you are ready to learn on your own .

She comes in to the room like she hates her job but shes a ok professor. The material was tough. Last three exams were open book and open text book so it wasnt as bad. If it wasnt open note book/open textbook I would of deff failed the course. Text book use is a must and you have to read but each chapter is 20 pages so.

This past semester, she gave us all exams as open notebook exams. Drops lowest exam grade. Listen in class and take good notes.

Great teacher if you pay attention and take notes. She surprised us and let us do open note for 2/3 tests over the summer session. Gets political and goes off on other notes but besides that its an easy class she basically hands the test to you on a silver platter.

Dr. Austin really makes you work in her class. Make sure that you read the textbook or you will do bad in this course. 3/4 of the tests were open book. Be prepared for pop quizzes because she WILL give them to you. Make sure to keep up with chapter as well!!!

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT take her as a professor, if you do the classwork and show up everyday and read the textbook you'll be fine, that's not the problem. She was the most condescending, unmotivated professor I've ever had in my life. (didn't miss a day) but this professor would show up 10 minutes late every single day and reem kids all day

Although Dr. Austin is tough, she is hilarious and well respected. As long as you take your notes, read he textbook and participate in class you will pass. Her tests are very straight forward. I would recommend anyone to take her and I look forward to taking future classes with her!! I LOVED her!!!

EXCELLENT professor! Attend every class, take notes on what she SAYS and what she WRITES (both), and read the chapter she is lecturing - guaranteed A. Do not get on her bad side - you wont if you just MAKE SURE YOU ARE LISTENING. Strict no-phone policy. Goes off on tangents a lot. Drops 1 of 3 exams, and has 1 final (cant drop this). Not hard!

I took her class and basically if you show up to class, read the book and take good notes you will pass her class. Her exams are fair 4 in total dropped the lowest grade. She does not give extra credit, hates cell phones (technology) and any unnecessary noise while she's lecturing. She comes off as a tough person but she's sweet.

At first I thought she was going to be terrible-no phones out, no bathroom breaks.. She came off very nasty. However her class was very enjoyable & straight forward. Her exams come right from the lecture so take great notes and you'll do awesome. One exam was open notebook- I had her in the summer

Obviously the bad reviewers were the type of students who did not read the book, didn't take notes and probably had excessive absences. Prof Austin is a fantastic teacher. She knows her stuff. She uses real life explanations to make the material relatable. If you read the book, take notes and don't act like a disrespectful brat you will do awesome

She was not particularly difficult but she is the worst professor/human being I have encountered in higher education. She gave 3 exams plus 1 final. She dropped 1 exam grade. 1 of the exams was take home. The final exam was partially take home and in class open notebook. She will not let you leave to use the bathroom, is rude and condescending.

Didn't care for her teaching style. Very Controlling Did not get much info out of the class. Seemed angry all the time and when teaching a child Psych class gives you the impression she doesn't care for kids. Read the book.

She's an ok professor. Just as long as you don't get on her bad side. She doesn't like noise or lateness. As for teaching, we had a few good class lectures and class discussion. I found her tests to be rather difficult and not very straightforward.
