Love, love, love her. She is the most intelligent, giving and caring teacher I've ever known. She also made me work harder than I've ever did before at the uni. Definitely recomment this teacher for everyone who is really serious about becoming a psychologist.

Ok, I took her for group dynamics ans experimental.She does have some favoritism towards male students.Also, all I can say is study your little heart out.Everything is important.Tests cover a lot and good note taking is key.She may not write it but she will say it.Also don't trust reviews for your studying thats 1/8th of the test.Buy the books also

Comment:

At first, I thought this class was going to be a breeze. We played silly games literally every other class and then lecture was the other class for the week. I wrote every word from her notes and still failed the 2 tests she gives (only 3 grades all sem). I thought I was doing great all semester until final grades came out. She's a know it all.

Comment:

She's a funny professor! Just come to class so that you can take good notes then study a few hours and you should be fine on the tests! Concerning your group, avoid being a "free-rider." (It's not that hard to do if you do your part.)

Comment:

Dr. GB is a sharp teacher who will always be willing to help you out if you ask (and she's a lot easier to find than Dr. Z!). Her classes only SEEM difficult because it's easy to be unprepared for her tests. She only gives 2 per semester, so there's no room for trial and error. Show up every day, take notes, get a study group, and you're set.

I think she is a so-so professor. I got lost in her class but I still did well. She has a good personality and is helpful though.

Comment:

She's hard but she forces you to learn the material. It's irritating because you feel really lost in the class, but if you put in the effort, it's possible to do well. She's not evil or out to get her students- she just challenges them to go beyond what they think they can do. or so I'm guessing. She's been my hardest prof but she made me grow.

I think everyone has pretty much summed her up. To say she was horrible is a total understatement. How is she still teaching??

Comment:

Dr.GB was one of the toughest professors I have ever had-however, she was/is also the most understanding and gracious professor as well. If you show her that you are truly learning and working for your grades, you will be amazed at how receptive of this she is. I say this one year post-exp psy. Just ask for help if you have questions.

Comment:

She's an okay teacher but the way she give notes are very unclear and the first exam was pretty hard. She's says that your group project is a huge part of the grade.if you need an elective and a class just to get three hours please consider she takes roll sometimes...so....you need all notes

Comment:

She's REALLY UNCLEAR and doesn't help. She doesn't even have the grading from the early classes done by the time the end comes. Its crazy. Her tests make NO sense, and I'm not sure WTF I had to take her. I'm glad I know what I'm doing on my own.

She seems hard to some people and she is in her own ways. All I have to say is don't be afraid to go ask her questions. She is very unclear and sometimes doesn't make sense. You have to study....

Comment:

I had this so called "professor" for experimental design. She is worse than horrible!! I would suggest taking Stein or Z for experimental design!! She DID NOT explain the paper or how to do the paper!! She put more emphasis on the test at the end of the semester in which you had 3 chances to pass!!

Watch out for GB... even if you get an A on every assignment and test but get a C on the final project, you will get a C in the class. Likes the guys a lot better than the girls... just do your work, that's about all you can do.
