Comment:
It's true, she does not require or or count attendance towards your final grade. In a lecture class of about 50, I would say only 20 showed up weekly. The tests always had a big turnout though. But she does require you read the textbook, and a lot of info on the tests. I didn't fail. But I didn't do well. Just make sure if you don't go, you study!

Comment:
She is hard. She gives long lectures. She gives tests that requires one to know way too much information. And she is pretty boring. Might be a good idea to pick another professor.

You do not need to attend class, but you must read the book! Two out of three tests were very difficult, but her grading style is very accommodating. She is a very sweet woman.

she's okay. the part her tests are easy and she gives a 10 point curve for each exam and she has a nice graduing policy. but the thing i didnt like much was that there was no study guide, she makes you read the whole book!

I must admit the professor is boring. If you are willing to sit down and listen to boring lectures and are able to learn from them, this is for you. Textbook is a MUST! If you don't read the material, you will not do well. Attendance is key, as she may include some material from lecture on her exams. I'm giving her another try, we'll see how it go

It was way too much work for one class. SHe must think she is the only one that you are taking. im a psych major, straight A's, but this class may change that. I guess I should have taken another Neuro class, I aced that one.

Boring at times, but is an overall great professor. She knows what she's doing. Bonus advice: Complete the research requirement via being a guinea pig for a few hours, you'll be happy you did.

She's a good teacher, at times she can be very boring, however you don't need to goto class, the powerpoints are all on blackboard but they aren't that helpful, i suggest reading from the text or STUDYGUIDE. They are the most helpful, and she trys to help FYI Students often.

This class is simple if you put a little effort into it. All you need to do well is to read the textbook, which is an easy read. Attendance isn't necessary since her lectures are available on blackboard. She is a sweet woman, but a little boring. Your highest grade is counted most and she applies a bell curve on the exams. Easy A.

Nice professor, attendance is not necessary at all to pass because she emails you the notes (however she does give extra pts if u attend class)and everything that is on the 3 tests is straight from the textbook so if u read the txt and notes it should be an easy A

Great professor. Very clear on lectures and very concerned with students' progress. You get to choose your own topic on term papers as long as it is approved.

I thought she was so good that I'm taking her for a second time! She counts the highest test the most, 50%, and the lowest grade the least, 10%, and the one in the middle, 40%. Her tests are really simple if you study the textbook, they're all m/c and all her notes are on a powerpoint presentation which you can download on Blackboard. Gr8 professor

If you’re looking for a straightforward class w/ no surprises then I recommend taking Psychology 101 w/ professor Berman. There’s no real course work, in fact you don’t even have to show up to class and she makes the slides available online to print in case you miss class . The breakdown is this: four relatively easy multiple choice exams and the c
