You know what the essay question before each test, which is worth 30% of each exam. The thing even with that the class is averaging a 70% on almost every test. Most of the question are from the book so make sure you read, but in all she is a great prof, very interesting,

Comment:

Deb was always willing to meet 1:1 with her students outside of class, and wanted to help in anyway she could. She also does interesting lectures, even though they don't relate to exams in anyway. For an honors class, she expects her students to know the material, so she doesn't really go over it. If you pay attention, you'll be fine!

Comment:

I've never been spoken to in such a degrading way by a teacher before. I would ask her questions on exams and she would talk to me like a toddler and say things to make me feel dumb. She seems nice in lecture but 1:1 she is terrible. Class isn't that hard but definitely need to go to lecture if you wanna pass. two 15pt essay questions on every exam

Deb is amazing! Class is designed to be low stress, she helps you learn how to do well, and she is an awesome lecturer. You do fun activities in class. There is a lot of mercy when it comes to grading. She drops some exam scores, gives extra credit, and she makes her tests easier. TAKE DEB'S CLASS

Comment:

Deb is really only interested in you if you're a psych major. She cares about all students, but only gets to know the ones who are interested in the subject. Grades are based on weekly online quizzes and 7 short exams. The lectures aren't the worst, but can get boring. It was harder than I was hoping it'd be.

Comment:

there are no assignments and everything is based off chapter quizzes every Monday with 2 essay questions that you get from the lecture. in order to get the answers for the tests, you have to read that chapter and do the study guide and also study the notes. This was by far my hardest class that I thought would be the easiest.

Comment:

DR. Poole will make it very apparent that she is a Doctor. I saw her true personality at the end of the semester when I went to her office hours. I have never had a teacher/prof talk to me in such a degrading way. I couldn't say anything right to her and apparently, I wasn't the type of student to go to grad school(despite being valedictorian in hs)

Comment:

Deb is one of my favorite professors. Super easy to get an A in this class but you will need to go to lectures because there's two "short answer" questions on each quiz and they're usually based off lecture. The rest of the quiz is 14 questions based off of the book and study guide. If you do the study guide and go to class you'll get an A.

Your grade is based off of quizzes you have every Monday. she drops your lowest two scores and also allows up to 4 points extra credit. She is one of the nicest professors I have had and would recommend to take her class because she is so passionate about her students and the material she teaches. i have learned a lot from her.

Poole is an amazing lady. She makes lectures funny and she is very passionate. Although reading the chapter is necessary the tests are easy and she gives you the essay questions in class for preparation. There are weekly exams over one chapter at a time and no final. Easy if you do the reading.

Deb obviously loves Psychology and is very experienced and knowing about all the topics. I never once opened the textbook. Going to class is a must. Each lecture pretty much directly translates to the tests, which make up pretty much your entire grade. Her notes can be messy though. She gives a lot of help during tests, be sure to utilize it!

Best teacher I have ever had! Theres no way not to pass her class. She explains everything clearly so that students understand the material. She's super friendly and approachable so if you have a question shed love to help you better understand it. Even if you just want to talk to her shed love to do that as well.

For being in a huge lecture, Deb kept the class super interested. She really knows what she's doing. Your grade almost depends entirely on test scores. You absolutely need the textbook. If you go to class and write down essay questions, and take notes on each chapter and thoroughly read, you will EASILY pass the class. Awesome prof!!!

Deb loves her job, and it shows! She has so much insight into the subject, and she keeps the class interesting. We only had to write one short paper, but we did have to take a quiz every Friday.
