Comment:
There is a huge paper in this class. She was rude about all of it-- didn't even bother to grade all of mine. I had something quoted from my notes-- she said that she didn't say it! Then, there's her favorites. If you're not one, you'll know. She won't give you any help and pick on you relentlessly. Not a good professor.

Horrible professor. Very interesting guest speakers, that's the only good thing about her class. Hard grader on essays. Her tests are a mess. Boring as hell. Take someone else.

Comment:
You dont get points for attending class, but you are deducted points for NOT attending class. Interesting class, but too many people spend too much time giggling over female/male anatomy words; like this is junior high. Useful info, but like a sex ed class. You must read the book to do well on the tests. Tackett knows her stuff

Comment:
Do NOT take 332 at the same time as 355!! T brings in interesting speakers, but doesn't teach anything herself. Responds to questions about material with "it's in the book." If you take 332 and 355, your extra credit opportunities are limited. Condescending and unapproachable- MUST read the book!

This class was a lot of fun and Prof. Tackett is a great instructor. The panels are so interesting. Don't listen to others that say negative things. The key is attending all classes and reading the book. If you do this it's super easy to get an A. Plus she gives extra credit. One of my favorite courses at state!

Everyone who says this class was hard is dumb. Just go to class! It's college people! Follow the study guide and read the textbook like in every college class you've had.... PLUS... she gives PLENTY of extra credit opportunities.

Comment:
This class was a complete waste of time. I was extremely excited about this class before the semester started because it sounded so interesting. Unfortunately I didn't learn anything about the subject since she barely taught, instead we listened to useless guest speakers that had nothing to do with the class. Huge disappointment.

Comment:
What a horrible teacher. Tests aren't based on anything she talks about, but class attendance is mandatory. Has way too many guest lecturers and ends up teaching about three or four classes herself. Very rude, and condescending. Do yourself a favor and don't take her.

Comment:
I plan to get an A but this class was more of a middle school sex ed class. Horrible! She rarely made psychology references and she rarely taught the class herself. She was very unapproachable and yelled at the class. I would never recommend this class. The people who have said nice things are probably her pet students who sat in the front. No joke

This was a super fun class, but the tests were pretty hard. I was able to pull a solid A with the extra credit. Interesting info you'll use for personal use!...2 midterms, 1 final, panels, which were interesting.

Dr. Tackett is a very challenging professor, but if u really want a career in psychology you will take her courses because she provides amazing opportunities and valuable information. Just go to class, do the extra credit, and read the text/notes for the tests. She seems like a hard ass, but she gives you many opportunities to do well(extra credit)

Class was SO much fun. Tests were somewhat hard, but study guides were very helpful. You'll learn a lot of practical lesson that you'll be able to use in your own (sex) life.

Take her class!! So much fun. She teaches you so much and she is hilarious. The only thing is that the tests are pretty hard. But you'll experience so much I think its worth it.

I had Tackett for Adolescent Dev. and now for Sexual Behaviors. She is a tough teacher, but totally worth it! This class is unlike any other. I have learned more than any other class. Presents her students with amazing learning opportunities! Good teacher who cares about her students, if you just ask for help. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

I LOVE this professor, I found her to be very helpful and nice. Her class is not difficult at all, she gives a study guide and the exams are basically from the study guide, you do have to read the book.

I took this class for summer, would have been impossible if taken during a normal semester. During the normal semester she requires a 15-20 page paper..during the summer there is NO paper, just a presentation. She gave really easy extra credit opportunities which helped my grade alot.
