Easy class with clear expectations. Grade is made up of exams and launchpad homework which can be found in the book or Quizlet. Exams are taken out of class on lockdown browser and can be done within a week or so timeframe. there's extra credit available in each unit which is 60 points altogether. There are no papers which was nice. decent class.

I love professor Babcock! Her lectures are amazing, and are always posted online so attendance isn't necessary. There are a lot of launchpad assignments, but they are easy and can be done multiple times. She is very helpful and so nice! Her exams are online with lockdown browser, but she gives study guides and extra credit! Highly recommend her!

This class is an easy A if you take notes and do the extra credit. I had over 100% the whole semester. Notes are posted on bb so lecture is optional. I didn't have a problem with LaunchPad and enjoyed reading the book. Make sure to do the hw after you finish each chapter to keep up. It is very time-consuming. Exams are online with Lockdown. Easy A.

Prof. Babcock is a good teacher but she uses launchpad. If you ever have a class and the teacher uses launchpad, RUN! It's terrible and overly specific. I often had issues with launchpad crashing and failing. Even launchpad gave up on itself. Lectures are optional and I skipped them and still got decent grades on the tests w/ hs knowledge

I took this class face-to-face, but hardly ever had to attend. I used class time to read the chapter, and the exams were online. If you read the book you will get an A.

Easy class! I showed up to class to get the notes, but couldve found all the information in the textbook. Homework and exams are online and super easy. The homework prepares you for the exam more than the notes, but I enjoyed going to her lecture because she was passionate about what she taught.

I stopped going to lectures because she did not give any more information than the textbook and homework quizzes did. She does not make her own exams or powerpoints and gets them from the website that the textbook and homework are on. She does not show up for exam days and TAs grade everything. Easy class if you do the homework.

In PSY 220, Dr. Babcock does everything you need her to. She goes over powerpoints and lectures that pertain to the book (it is an online Revel Textbook) and take online quizzes and tests from that book. The class is overall very straightforward and easy if you do the work.

Babcock is a good prof. The online book has easy tests and quizzes. Once in awhile she gives extra credit for coming to class but you don't need to go to lecture. As long as you get your work done and study for the tests you'll be all set.

To be completely honest, I stopped attending this class a month ago. I went to the first couple of lectures and she's great. Super friendly and knows what she's talking about. But if you read the book, take the quizzes, and take the exam (all online) you'll literally be fine. I don't even bother to show up and I've had an A semester.

She's passionate about what she's teaching and always makes sure to give examples to clarify ideas. If you pay attention, you're guaranteed an A. She keeps lectures interesting. There are quizzes online before each exam, but the work isn't hard. There are a few mini essays that you'll have to write.

Easy online class as long as you read the online textbook. Lots of points available through the online text to help boost your grade. Offers two chances at online exams with lockdown browser, and there is no final exam! Don't even need to view the powerpoints, just read the text. Weekly discussion board, and a couple of writing assignments.

Great lady. Lecture heavy but she is very nice and obviously cares about her students. Online textbook needed, with LOTS of quizzes to go with, not too hard though. Couple papers assigned, exams online with lockdown browser. Also, 2 current events which aren't hard. Prof. Babcock is a solid choice.

A lot of people take psychology, and I would highly recommend Professor Babcock. Her lectures were not mandatory, but I never missed a lecture because they were really interesting and it was easier than having to read the book. Weekly quizzes that can be difficult if you don't put in a little effort. Very friendly and very funny.
