Also took for psych1 and received an A. Great professor, obviously loves the subject she is teaching. Do the reading, pay attention to the lectures, and you will do well.

Not as great as Psych 1 with her but still easy. Read the textbook and the class notes and the test will be a piece of cake, put SOME effort into the group project and you'll be good to go. Not as interesting as I had hoped but a lot of fun mostly because of the people you meet and stories you hear. This class is also known as ECE 18

Awesome for Psych 1. Four tests, lowest grade dropped, plus final exam. Tons of extra credit opportunity. Super nice and really helpful, read the chapters and the class notes then review one more time before the test and you'll be just fine. You may be able to get away with not attending except on test days but you'll miss some interesting lectures

Very nice prof who is knowledgable and passionate about subject, also friendly and accessible. Chooses really good books (non-textbook) for classes. Exams are multiple choice and easy if you do the reading. Only negative thing is her lecture style are somewhat boring in my opinion.

Great teacher, and great class. Super easy to get an A as long as you do the readings and do the extra credit. She offers A LOT of extra credit. Very helpful. Always there if you need help with anything. She is very fun and witty, although her class does get boring at times. Attendance is not mandatory at all!

Comment:

She's quirky....bubbly I guess, really. She gets off topic sometimes. I feel like this is one of those classes where you have to teach yourself. Just read the books (which actually aren't bad) because the exams all straight from books/lecture.She's ok.. I just took this classes because it completed my IGETC requirements.

One of the worst teachers at SMC I DO NOT I REPEAT NOT RECCOMEND TAKING HER. She is mono tone and her tests are not covered in class its alof of work you need to cover at home and the tests are very hard to understand. If you want to transfer do not take her.

She's great! While a little sidetracked at times, Goodfellow makes the class really enjoyable. She wants you to do well. And yes, she's Bonobo crazy! :) Make sure to participate in class. LOTS of reading but it's interesting material. I would highly recommend Goodfellow to anyone. Take her class!

Comment:

Psych 1 is basically common sense so all you have to do in this class is listen to what she has to say and take the quizzes which are based on her lecture anyways(everything is in the book if you miss a class but the way she words things make is so much easier to understand if youre kinda lost)she drops lowest quiz and gives so much extra credit :)

Comment:

She has a monotonous tone and tends to get sidetracked easily, but otherwise it's a decently easy class. Buy the course guide (it's for her class, she'll explain), study for the tests, lots of extra credit & she's really nice. Good luck, have fun.

Comment:

She beat the dead horse on every concept! Gave thousands of examples even when the whole class was ready to move on. I studied impatiently and sloppily for all the tests and got A's. For having a Ph.D I would say she's relatively incompetent. Never knows the answer to difficult questions--not much of a learning experience.

Comment:

Dr. Goodfellow is a bit cooky, but her class is really fun and interesting. Make sure to take notes in class and also read the entire chapter (skip parts that the study guide says are unnecessary). She does test on topics in the book, even if she doesn't cover them in class. One test out of four can be dropped, and there is plenty of extra credit.

Comment:

Such a good teacher! You learn so much just through her lectures alone. I took her Summer 2011 6 week class and there was 4 multiple choice tests (she drops the lowest test score) and a multiple choice final. She gives SO many opportunities for extra credit. You could get C's on every exam and still get an A in the class by doing the extra credit!

Great instructor! Just do the extra credit and pay attention in class and you should do fine. Lectures range from very interesting to slightly dry. Great class all the way around and she's very approachable and engaging.
