She's a very sweet lady, but isn't a great communicator unless you clearly ask exactly what you want to know. A lot of assignments to boost the grade and she drops one at the end of the semester. A group paper and a final to end the semester.

Prof Chen is amazing, she is understanding that students have a lot to deal with (hw extensions!). No book for the class, all the info comes straight from lectures, take good notes (she provides an outline) Online class so we used notes on exam (not sure about in person). Assignments took a long time but were graded easy. Group paper was not hard!

Honestly I don't know why Dr. Chen has bad ratings. I absolutely loved her. The key is to pay attention in lectures and take good notes on them. If you do, seriously do not worry about her quizzes being too hard - you will be fine. She is super SWEET, understanding, and willing to explain things more if asked.

Professor Chen is a really sweet lady, but she LOVES to talk. She will ramble on about a topic for so long and it's not enjoyable at all. She always went over the time. The homework is easy and the tests are application questions, so you have to study but you can use your notes. She engages a lot with students and wants to make sure you understand.

This class was a lot harder than it had to be. Reading the book is super important! During her lectures, she didnt follow the book which made it super confusing. Her tests are insanely hard! Would not recommend if you arent a psychology major.

Comment:
Professor Chen is honestly adorable and very sweet. however, she is very difficult to follow and is kind of all over the place in terms of lectures. it is extremely difficult to follow along and get all of the info. I recommend using her outlines they do help. Overall, wasn't a bad class and the hw was fine

Very sweet and interested in psychology. The quizzes / exams were extremely difficult and a lot of the questions were long and time-consuming to think about and answer (even if you write good notes and attend lecture). She gave a good amount of homework assignments though which helped get points.

Smart and nice lady. But, takes very long to grade anything. Did not know what my true grade in the class was even up until the final exam. Takes long to respond to emails. Cant use computer in class. Tests are very hard. If it wasnt for other class assignments, I probably would have failed her class solely because of her.

Such a sweet person, makes lectures really fun, & is super understanding. Her tests are absolutely impossible though. If you aren't a good test taker do not take her. I took detailed notes & studied for hours on end for tests & still never got above a B, but did well in every other assignment in that class.

Nice lady. Knows psychology very well, that being said I think she over complicated everything. Including her lectures. No computers so cant take notes on laptop and she moves very fast. Requires u to print a lot of paper.

Professor Chen is a great professor. She explains the concepts exactly how they show up on the exams and makes sure you know the information so there are no surprises. If you show up to class every day and pay attention the exams are not hard at all. She gives homework questions and quizzes here and there that help cushion your grade as well.

Professor Chen is so sweet, she kept us engaged & is just such a great person overall. However, her tests are essentially impossible. That's why I didn't do well, she taught the material really well, but her tests are very confusing and worded very weirdly. I did well on everything else though, she's great at verbally explaining things.

I don't know why Professor Chen has such a low rating. She is willing to help with anything needed and really shows that she cares if you are willing to go to her office hours! You definitely have to pay attention, read the book, and attend class if you want to pass. She tries to crack jokes during her lectures. There is 3 exams and a group paper

She is a very very sweet lady and will help to clear anything up for you. She also is always helpful outside of class. The lectures are somewhat boring though. She does try and make things interesting sometimes. If you miss class and don't know someone in the class you won't know anything for the exam. Notes are fill-in and she does not post PP.

I am unsure as to why there are so many poor reviews about Professor Chen. She truly is a wonderful professor who is more than willing to help outside of class. Her lectures are funny and interesting. If you read your textbook and put in the work this class is easy to succeed in!

Dr. Chen is the cutest human and can be funny, but her accent can be difficult to understand. At the beginning of the semester she gives quizzes so do well because they add up. Her exams are very difficult and worded weirdly, she gives one group project and doesn't explain it clearly making it very confusing to work with.

It's been almost 2 weeks and I'm ready to drop tf out of this class. Way too much homework and reading already, it sucks. I would rather drop out of college with no degree than have her as my professor.

Comment:
Her lectures seemed frantic and not very well organized. It was hard to follow her because of this. She claimed the study guides/lectures outlines would help prepare students for the exam but they didn't. She should assign homework that would provide a better idea on the types of questions she asks on exams bc the wording was difficult.

She is such a great person and has fun lectures. She outlines the class very clearly and makes sure we know what to do. There is one paper, 3 exams, and homework for grades. you do have to go to lectures and read because her exams are hard. The final is NOT cumulative so that is nice.

She is a nice lady, However, her class was one of the worst classes psychology classes I have taken at Grand Valley. Her outlines are organized but how she explains them is not. She does not make sense and it is all random. All does is go over studies so I suggest you just read those studies on your own because she will not explain them very well.
