Comment:

Warnings start rumors and rumors can cause a person to be treated bad. Spread a rumor and tell people to do things to that person on purpose. It happens so much that the person reacts negatively once or twice and look you just proved your case. That's called creating a hostile environment. I'm hard as rock now. Psychology at its finest.

Comment:

My TA was awful, the guest speakers were not helpful, the class is based primarily on three exams, read the whole book before taking this class, Dr. Mori teaches as if this were standford, Get ready to read each chapter about 3 times to understand the material throughly because you will have to know it, beware of the TA you get seriously.

Comment:

I already rated Dr. Mori, I may have been a bit unfair. The tests are worded tricky, but perhaps it is just me who has trouble navigating through them. So if you like direct questions on an exam, and do not like pop quizzes some not so pop, but still difficult, then take someone else. If you can devote all your study time to this class take it.

Comment:

This is a hard class. In order to do well on quizzes, all material must be read and studied before you get to class. I don't agree with some things the Professor teaches. For instance, she teaches that a person who is "Bi" has a borderline PD and I don't agree with being rude to students. But Lectures and material are very interesting & good class.

Comment:

Lisa Mori is definitely a mixed bag. She is very knowledgeable and as a student you can definitely tell this. She utilizes her TAs so that students have a peer to reach out too. She does not give all of her slides and does require students to read. EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME, even if it is not discussed in class. The guest speakers are phenomenal.

Comment:

HARD TESTS, HARD POP QUIZZES, LOTS OF READING, AND LECTURE HEAVY. However, I learned so much in this class (due to fear of failing) that I retained after I took the final. The guest speakers are amazing and definitely help solidify the material. You NEED the book, she often skips slides in lectures so get ready to teach yourself! Overall, mediocre.

Comment:

This is a very challenging class that is full of useful information for those of us going into the field of psychology. Dr. Mori doesn't give away points. She makes her students work for their grades because (I suppose) she cares about this field. Don't wait to study and start committing concepts to memory when you receive the material.

Comment:

For people complaining about how hard this class was, you're taking a class on mental illnesses, of course it's hard. Dr. Mori makes you work for your grade. She is still very sweet. Her guest speakers are incredible but because of them you do have to do a lot of reading on your own. Despite how hard the class was I got a B and I learned A LOT.

Do not take this class if you're not willing to work for your grade! Focus on the powerpoints and do the study guides ahead of time. ALWAYS go to the review sessions! Pop quizzes can be brutal, so glance over material before class if possible. TA's are gonna save your grade.

Not the best professor. Her lecture slides arent the same with the ones she has online. It was hard to keep up because she just flies through the lectures with not much detail. Couldn't have passed if it wasn't for the TA helping out. Get the book, you'll need it.

Comment:

Terrible teacher. Lazy, does not finish lectures, places a lot of her work load on the TA, most lectures were replaced by guest speakers, and did I mention she's terrible at lectures? Was excited to take Abnormal Psychology until the first time I stepped in that class.

Dont miss class, her powerpoints are different than the ones she gives you. In order to do well on the quizzes, you HAVE to keep up with the reading. Read each chapter after every lecture, and that will help you on the quizzes. Hard exams, you really have to work for your grade. Keep up with the readings and you will be fine.

The worse professor I have ever taking in my entire life. She is not nice at all. Exams are really hard. She doesn't show enthusiasm to teach. She really low your self esteem. NOT RECOMMEND at all. She teach to fast and the power point she have in class is so different than the one she posted on taitanium. Dont recommend

Comment:

Reading the textbook is a must. Dr. Mori is a nice woman but makes you work for your grade. Has guest speakers who make material easier to understand. ALWAYS gives quizzes when there is a guest speaker with material not always covered in lectures. Goes through lectures very fast. Exams are tough. Attendance not mandatory but it does help you out.

Comment:

Lectured by powerpoint but goes through them really fast. She posts them at the beginning of the semester but the powerpoints she lectures off of are slightly different (pay attention to them!). Tests are hard, 10 pop quizes, no papers, in class group work. Don't take if you don't want to work- the material is detailed and reading is essential.

Comment:

This class is difficult. She doesn't finish her lectures, study guides do not coordinate with the test, and the pop quizzes never stop. It's mostly reading the book and learning the material on your own, and there is A LOT of it. The highlight of this class was definitely the guest speakers, but that wasn't enough to justify taking it.

Comment:

I don't know why everyone is so harsh on her. I took psyc341 and it's an UPPER DIVISION course so of course it's tough. Yes, she does expect us to read on our own and cover the material she sometimes can't in class, but you can't expect her to cover all the important things in a chapter in one class, especially with abormal psych.

Definitely not an easy A class, but if you want easy you should major in underwater basket weaving, not psychology. No other professor will teach you as much as Dr. Mori does. It is a very dense class, but she is incredibly sweet & will always help if you actually ask for it.

Comment:

Ok so just a pre warning she doesn't go over all her PowerPoint slides she posts on titanium. Why I have no clue. She wants her students to learn everything themselves. Worst abnormal psychology ever. And her POP quiz's are over material she never lectured over. Find any other professor who doesn't want to make your life miserable
