Dr. Booth was a good teacher. I took this class online and it was easy. As long as you watch the lectures and participate in the discussion posts (which are all interesting and easy), you'll pass the class. She offers extra credit as well.

This class can get very difficult if you don't check emails daily and hourly. Tests are dense and require respondus lockdown, which means it is closed-note, closed book. The papers must be incredibly detailed and Professor Booth tends to be tough when grading.

Comment:

Professor Booth is by far the most understanding online professor I have had. I recommend buying the online book if you take the class. You also have to do one APA research paper, about 5-6 discussion boards, and sometimes she offers extra credit. Also, the exams are pretty difficult and can harm your grade if you don't study notes & read the text

Super interesting class. Must pay attention, doesn't provide online ppt so you have to take good notes. Easy grader on the 2 essays. Difficult online exams, but there is a curve. Let's you out early on 3 hour classes.

Comment:

Booth will make you work for an A. It is a bit more rigorous than the typical online course, she assigns quite a bit of work. If you're good about time management or can learn to quickly, that'll help a lot. She did end up curving at the end of the semester. I don't recommend this during a busy semester, it takes work but is doable.

Comment:

Her instructions for assignments were unclear and disorganized. Her lectures had little to do with weekly quizzes. Plus, she sounded like a robot when she talked. She gave no feedback and high grades on the first paper and then was extremely critical on the second. She was, by far, the worst online professor I've ever come across. Good luck!

Comment:

This class is an awesome class if you're genuinely interested in the subject. Professor Booth is very knowledgeable and entertaining. Attending class is pretty much mandatory since you take notes, and since she doesn't post them online. If you go every day (once a week) and take notes you should end up with nothing lower than an A.

you have to do non-stop writing for 3 hours without break.. the class was exhausting. I saw many students doing Facebook or fell asleep while the class. Also I felt like she's not open for students' opinions.

Comment:

It consists of online homework, online tests, and a non-mandatory once a week class. I rarely went to class and still got an A, but Professor Booth is brilliant and I loved her lectures when I went. Highly recommend her! Buy the book the tests and homework are based more off of it than her lectures.

Comment:

This class was way easy, and I never went to class and still got an A. However, the work IS tedious and you DEFINITELY need the book. 10 online assignments that must be 3-4pgs long in APA due every week, and 4 online tests. Not too bad, but just time-consuming. Be careful of due dates!

Comment:

My least favorite/worst professor at SDSU. Everyone raves about her and how nice she is however i feel like i have to teach myself.online class she just provides readings and useless power-points her lectures are irrelevant to tests.When you do ask for help on assignments she does not take the time and tells everyone diff info she is FAKE nice

Comment:

Dr. Booth is an awesome teacher. She makes class fairly interesting, for uninteresting subjects. She really cares about her students. There are 3 tests that she doesn't cover completely in class so you need the book. There are 3 papers but grading is mostly on APA format, not the content. I would definitely take her

Definitely do your readings in addition to attending lecture. She's fun to listen to, but doesn't give you everything in lecture that you'll need for your exam. Papers are graded mostly on APA formatting.

Extremely easy class. It isn't mandatory but I would make the effort to get up early and go just for her way of teaching. She has a lot of relevant personal stories and the material itself is fascinating. Don't hesitate to take this class if you have to. 4 online tests, 5 online homeworks, and a couple of extra credit opportunities. Loved it!

She starts the class with jokes which are funny. Must go to class to get lecture notes b/c exams are base them and from the book. One class projection on family genogram which is easy if you follow the rules. Extra credit available. Easy class. highly recommend her.
