Dr. Franklin is a wonderful professor, her lectures are interesting and engaging. The material isn't necessarily difficult but don't expect an easy a. Very kind, super thankful to have had her as a professor during 2020. She really cares about her students.

My favorite professor at Stony Brook. Doesn't take attendance, and uploads the slides. Tests can be tricky, as she really does want to make sure you understand the content rather than just memorized the words. Highly recommend going to the lectures, though. She's passionate and funny and cares about her students and it shows.

honestly one of the worst professors I've ever had at SB. unfair grading as there are only 30 mc questions with so much information to learn. there are clicker questions and sona experiments which in reality saved my grade. if you can avoid taking a class with her, do so. your GPA will thank you.

Dr. Franklin is an amazing lecturer- just reading her slides aren't enough to get the full understanding you could have if you actively listened to her lectures, where she does a really fantastic job of making the content more digestible. A loooot of material covered on exams, but a lot of HW opportunities to make up for it. Very knowledgeable.

Hardest class I've ever taken. Studying won't help you pass the tests. Her tests are solely passed on the chapter reading and have nothing to do with her slides in class. Her tests are extremely challenging and she knows it. She has a great personality but her tests kill.

Amazing lectures. Very hard tester-my advisor called her the toughest in the psych department. Uses echo, so you can access everything from home but she also uses clicker questions for 20% of the grade or so

She is a nice professor. Sometimes, she tries to make some jokes during class, but they are not funny at all. I personally don't enjoy the environment of her class. And, you have to go to class; otherwise, you won't know what her slides are about. If you can take other class to replace, just take others. Not suggesting to take her class anyhow.

Have her for Psych 103. Shes so hilarious and she makes the lectures super fun! Sometimes she goes by the slides kinda quick but its okay if youre payijg attention. Not everything she puts on the slides are necessary to take notes on. Overall thought shes a great teacher and explains psychology very well

Everything on the test basically comes from the textbook. Useful information given in lecture. She makes the class interesting but the actual exams are all from text book readings. Attendance matter, clicker questions are given throughout class so you can't really miss class.

Just do the clickers from home and study the textbook. Most of what she talks about in lecture is relevant to what you're learning, but never on exams.

Comment:
Prof. Franklin has great personality and can entertain the class (although some of the TED Talks can be boring). She expects a lot from her students in that they have to read the textbook to answer some questions to the exams. If you don't read and do the practice textbook questions, good luck getting an A.

She has clicker questions in the lecture but doesnt care what answer you put, only that you answer. She posts the lecture slides online, but they don't have all the info. Reading the textbook will definitely help, but I just read the chapter summaries. She's an okay professor and there isn't too much work. Gave 4 tests, but drops the lowest.

absolutely worst class I've ever taken. Her tests are far too difficult and she doesn't prepare you for it at all. Her lectures are completely useless for the tests, and you have to read the textbook cover to cover. Basically you're teaching yourself and you can't even get the tests back to go over it. Do not take this class, worst professor ever.

I generally enjoyed Professor Franklin's class. There were 3 tests and a final (if you want to pass READ THE TEXTBOOK!!!). Attendance wasn't necessarily mandatory, but participation points are based off the quiz questions at the end of the lecture. Research Experiment hours are required but they're super easy to get done throughout the semester.

She's not terrible. Be ready to actually read your textbooks and talk about something different in class. The classes are large, mines over 360 students. If you need hands on this isn't a class for you but if you're a visual and auditory learner it's fairly straightforward.
