Cant recommend Dr. C enough. She tries her best to help you. Its not a hard course to pass, but write notes on all details she says in class that go along with her PP. Youll do fine. Couple of quizzes, 5 exams (including final) and she offers a lot of extra credit.

I loved Dr. C's teaching style. She brought in lots of different content like interactive activities, videos, etc that kept my attention. She was a delight. She also lets you use your notes on the tests.

I took Dr. Cartwright Fall of 2020 online. She is an absolutely amazing professor and is extremely understanding. Extra credit is available and given during class, so attendance is necessary. Study guides are a little vague, PowerPoints are pretty detailed, and the reading isnt too bad of your interested in the subject. 10/10 would recommend!!!

One of my favorite lecturers. Keeps a class of 95 engaged, laughing, and attentive. Has a very great attitude and very organized. Class is very easy if you have any prior psych knowledge, and reading is not necessary if proper notes are taken during lecture. Very helpful and approachable, but will not hold your hand.

If you took AP Psychology in high school, this class should be a breeze. Dr. Cartwright wasnt as accessible in the classroom due to the size of the class (about 90 students); however, she was more than happy to meet and discuss things in her office, outside of class. Shes very energetic. Sometimes, she would go a bit too fast during lecture.

I love love love Dr. Cartwright. She is super easy to talk to and really wants all of her students to succeed.

Dr. Cartwright is a very caring professor. The class is somewhat difficult, but it is not because of her. There is a lot of information, but she is extremely organized adn gives a good amount of extra credit. Class participation, attendance, and extra credit is all done through an app, but still need to be in class.

I LOVED Dr. Cartwright! She is so spunky and is truly passionate about psych. She FLIES through the PowerPoints, but posts them all online so you can go at your own pace. She gives extra credit and drops your lowest 2 quiz grades and your lowest exam grade (I was happy with my final grade so I didn't have to take the final!). I also took AP in HS.

I loved Dr. Cartwright. She was a phenomenal teacher and I always enjoyed listening to her lectures. If you study an average amount and attend the class, it really should not be difficult. Dr. Cartwright really cares about psychology and shows excitement when teaching, which makes it so much more fun to listen to.

Cartwright is a very nice enthusiastic professor. The class was easy for me since I took AP psych in high school, but if this is your first psych class I would recommend doing all the reading because not everything on the tests are thoroughly explored in lecture. She's also very generous with extra credit and helpful during office hours!

Shes a great professor but the tests are insanely hard. even if you study your butt off, you most likely will not even get a b+ . the tests do not even make sense in what is taught in class or what are in the notes. i will not take her again. its a 202 course and should not be that hard.

Dr. Cartwright is a tough professor. Does take attendance/extra credit/class participation through socrative, so show up to class. She is all over the place, and teaches pretty fast. Which makes it hard to listen and take notes in her class. She does drop the lowest test and the lowest 2 quizzes. The study guides/outlines do not help on her tests.

Dr. Cartwright is a very energetic professor and clearly loves psychology. Lots of notes, but she posts them online so you can go through them during lecture at your own pace. Tests were not too bad, but quite a few questions came directly from the textbook and related to topics we didn't discuss in class.

Cartwright is super enthusiastic about psych & really cares about her students. Her tests are hard but you learn her style quickly (test grade went from 60 to 90). She uses Socrative for attendance/quizzes/extra credit. She drops the 2 lowest quizzes & your worst test (even if it's the final). You don't need the textbook, but it helped me study

Dr. Cartwright is amazing! I highly recommend students to take her class. She flies through the powerpoints but she includes many examples in her lectures that make her students better understand concepts. I have been to her office hours multiple times and she is extremely helpful and cares about me as a student. She cared about me being successful

Take Antaramian/Greenlee for intro Psyc courses. Cartwright's tests consist of topics never discussed in class. She gives an outline for the exams, but even if you study/read everything it's not enough. Don't let her fool you into thinking she gives "application" q's. They aren't. They're subjective questions with no logical explanation.
