Professor May is TOUGH. You will learn a lot if you apply yourself to the fullest, but even then she seems to be a tough grader.

The feedback she gives on papers is phenomenal and will definitely help you be a better writer, but you probably won't make an A.

TAKE HONORS PSYCH! Dr. May is BRILLIANT and absolutely passionate for psychology. You get a taste of all kinds of psychology from neuroscience to stress management. Yes, you have to study and the tests are nit-picky, but so what? I came away from this class knowing so much more and can even apply most of it to my life--like stress management!

AMAZING CLASS! Dr. May is extremely helpful and knows her material. I had her at eight am and never once missed a class because she is so interesting. As long as you study you can do well.

Dr. May is a wonderful person and a great professor. She really wants all of her students to do well, and she teaches the information incredibly well. Although, her class is EXTREMELY difficult. Her tests are very hard and there is so much information on them.

Comment:
She is nice. But extremely HARD!! Would not recommend her for an introductory course. She told me that this would be one of the hardest classes I would take. Haven't had a class harder. She gives no study guides and test are extremely difficult . Also gives a group project about banning the "R-word" which has nothing to do with psychology!

Dr. May is a wonderful teacher, she is very down to earth and really explains the material thoroughly! Her tests are definitely challenging and make you think deeply about concepts that you learn in her class! I would take her class all over again for fun!

Dr. May is not very helpful when you go to her office hours. When you ask what you can do to do better on the tests she will say to read the book. However, that isn't helpful. Tests are extremely difficult because they are impossible to study for.

Dr. May is a great professor! I would highly recommend her! She gives you quizzes online from the reading before every classes, but they're really easy! And she is really great during lecture! She makes everything applied to our lives so we can relate so much better. She is my favorite professor, by far. Don't pass up a chance to take Dr. May!

Dr. May is by far the best Psychology professor at CofC. I've learned everything I know from her and I loved doing it! I would tell my friends stories from her class because she made it that interesting! Also, she gives so much extra credit there's no way you can get a bad grade! She's very helpful in office hours too. TAKE HER!

WOW! Dr. May was astounding. Best professor I've ever had ANYWHERE! She's so engaging and intelligent, very up-to-date on her research and SO MUCH FUN! I didn't think there could possibly be a class this great but she made waking up at 8AM every day an absolute JOY! I LOVE HER! She's very, very reasonable and helpful in office hours too!

Dr. May is a hard professor, but a good one. You will learn A LOT in her class. She doesn't give you an easy A but she does offer several extra credit opportunities. Also, attendance is not mandatory but you should go to class and read everything if you want a good grade.

too much material is covered and it is not all from notes...must read the long 50 pages chapters for tests! She is willing to help but still that may not be enough to get you a decent grade....debate paper does not help grade!

Tests are textbook/lecture, so make sure you keep up with the reading. Very willing to work with you if you have issues outside of class, even if they're personal issues. Hard, but worth it if you're willing to put forth the effort.

One thing's for sure: you will learn a lot! Keep up with the nightly readings, don't get behind, and go to class and you should do fine if you are a serious student. She's a nice professor and the class is interesting...but it's a lot of work, so be ready!

TOO much material for an intro class. She gives study guides to REGULAR classes but NOT honors, and she often gets mixed up as to which one you're in. DO NOT EXPECT TO PASS! She doesn't give back your tests, and come exam time, she's impossible to get in touch with. If you have the choice, DON'T TAKE HER!

Prof. May is very smart and her lectures are interesting but she is extremely hard. Her tests are almost impossible to pass and her final is even harder. I think she is "too" smart to be teaching college classes b/c she makes everything SO HARD. read the material and you may do ok .don't expect an A
