Comment:

Dr. McCain is a brilliant and compassionate woman who has led a fascinating life. I learned a lot in her class albeit lectures could be boring at times. The workload was very manageable but most students will need to study in order to succeed. Go figure.

I have 2 college degrees and I would rate her in my top 2 of worst profs ever! She thinks very highly of herself and is not afraid to let you know how "smart" she is and believe me that makes for a wonderful (insert sarcasm) teacher-student relationship. I taught for 9 years and hopefully never conducted a class like she did when I took her!

She gave me a 3.0 and I read every chapter and took extensive notes. I put a lot more effort into this than I usually do and didn't get it back.

Comment:

She can be a bit snarky, for certain, but she's really nice and very intelligent. She seems to know her stuff. She does grade a little harshly and I guess she might be able to demonstrate what she wants from students a little bit better. Still, she's highly entertaining and her lectures won't bore you to death. She definitely knows her stuff.

This was the 2nd time I've taken one of Dr. Mccain's classes. I breezed through them with little effort, although a number of my classmates seemed to struggle, especially with her Abnormal Psych course. She's an alright lady, though she can be a bit snarky at times.

Comment:

She's a very knowledgeable and kind-hearted lady. Her tests aren't very difficult, just study and know how to apply info. I didn't study for a quiz and relied on class-time knowledge and still got a B. She even brings snacks in for tests. She really knows about Theories of Personality, and is really clear in explaining it

I took Theories of Personality with Dr. McCain. She is entertaining and gives you all the information you need to do well. As long as you understand the information and can think critically about it, you will do just fine on her tests. Loved this professor!

Comment:

I had Dr. McCain for General Psych, Abnormal Psych, and Theories of Personality. If she taught more than just those three, I would take them! Excellent Professor. Listen and you will learn. Her classes are not for those who do not wish to make an effort in this discipline. Not easy classes, you must study the material.

Comment:

nice teacher. She goes over material as expected, but does not apply material at all like it is on the tests. Book is a waste of money for this class...Tests are STUPIDLY difficult...I'm a 3.5-4.0 student. 40% of the class is failing right now at midterm. I Have a 1.5 at midterm. If you are going to take psych, do NOT take her!

Comment:

I had Dr McCain for both Theories and Abnormal. These classes are not easy..Although if you apply yourself (study, Study AND STUDY) you will do wonderful. She will make your expierence at MCC most rewarding. It whould be mandatory for every student to take her. ;)

Dr McCain is such a wonderful instructor. She is always available during office hours and email. She mos def wants her students to succeed. Although, you should not take this class unless you are prepared to study! Its alot of work...Taking Dr McCain will make your Mott expierence one hundred times better. I feel privaleged having learned from her.

Comment:

I have Mrs.McCain for the winter semester and I found her class to be somewhat easy. All you have to do is pay attention in class, print the powerpoints, and study ONLY what's on the study guide and you will do just fine. The in-class assignments help bring your grade up at the end of the semester as well.

Comment:

One of my favorite instructors. I had Dr. McCain for two classes (Theories and Abnormal) and she is spectacular. Her classes are not easy, "filler" classes.. and they shouldn't be. You have to be able to grasp and apply the concepts. I get mad when people bad mouth her because she is phenomenal.

Comment:

I took the class online. It was quite easy. We had video case studies, 3 quizzes per chapter cluster, and then a test. She challenges you though. It's not enough to just know the definition. She expects you to apply them. She doesn't respond to email quickly so don't expect a reply immediately but all in all I would take her class again.

Comment:

I've taken her for general psych and abnormal psych. She knows what she is talking about and is extremely helpful if you just ask. She works with you very well and is very understanding. She tests hard...but I find that actually makes her a good teacher. She expects you to LEARN the material. If you just study and ask questions you'll be fine.

Nice lady but a horriable teacher. This is a sophmore level class and she teaches it like a Masters level. No A's were given on first test with 8 E's and 9 B's. I droped it and took it and took it somewhere else.

Comment:

She posts power points before class so you can print them and then take extra notes. With a little studying the class is super easy. If you have over a 90% you don't have to take the final. She gives a good study guide and makes sure everybody understands. She is a little unorganized but not horribly.
