Comment:
Her tests were extremely difficult and she often tested on concepts that she did not cover. Her notes didn't really match up with the book. Went to her office hours once and she didn't really help me. She doesn't give tests back so it's hard to study what you got wrong. I would not take a class with her again. I needed a tutor for her class.

Comment:
Meh. As a person I really like her, but her class was boring. She just stood at the front and blabbed while reading the power point. Did not always go hand in hand with textbook. This is not an easy course, so you have to go to class and read the book. She is available to consult after tests. My lowest mark of uni so far.

Comment:
This professor is probably the only intro psych professor I haven't heard any complaints about. Her lectures are pretty clear and helpful if you print the lecture notes from blackboard and take notes on what she says. Tests are all multiple choice. Final is 25 questions cumulative from old tests and you can go to look at the old tests before.

Comment:
This professor is a nice lady, but what she teaches in class and what's in the book do not match up because she does not teach from the textbook. She uses books that she already has. Her tests are horrible and so is her grading system. She lumps all of the points into one category so if you forget some information you will not pass the test.

She flies through the power points, which makes it difficult to take notes, resulting in poor test grades. She pins students against each other on final power point presentation. The material is very thick and a lot to learn for the tests.

Comment:
She is ridiculous. Transfer before you take this women's class. Requires you to read the entire textbook cover to cover. Her notes do not match up the textbook needless to say that she passes the slides on the screen in about 5 seconds. You will be bored to death and think that the world is ending because class goes by so slow. Terrible professor.

Her tests are absolutely horrendous! She is the hardest professor i have ever had, i hope your REALLY good at short hand and writing quickly!! She goes through the presentation slides in a matter of 30 seconds and expects you to copy it all down. So beware!

Awful. Over half of the class dropped because of her teaching, her unfair tests and her lack of concern for her students.

Notes are clear. Reading isn't completely necessary but helpful. Tests are semi difficult. She is really nice and a good teacher for this subject.

Not a lot of work was expected of us and the homework if any was really easy. The tests were easy if you took notes in class, and there was not a lot of reading. The only problem was that she could put you to sleep.

Hard tests, hard notes to follow, and a horrible grading rubric. She goes too fast in class, and puts information on tests she never discusses. If you take psych, do not take it with her unless you already know psych her notes can not be understood

She explains her power point notes in a lot of detail and has plenty of examples. She also likes to ask her students if they have any experiences they would like to share regarding the topic. The material can seem a bit overwhelming, but it's not too bad. Tests are about 50 multiple choice questions, only 3 homeworks, and 2 quizzes. Overall not bad
