Comment:

Dr. Ross is the BEST professor I have ever had at the College. She is dedicated to both psychology and WGST, and wants you to do well. She has high expectations for her students because this is COLLEGE, so if you want an easy semester, or plan on slacking, don't take her. For those of you who actually want to learn, she is the absolute greatest!

Comment:

Dr Ross is the most liberal women Ive ever meet. Grades papers harder than English professors. She is very her way or the high way, so I felt like my opinions didnt matter as much. Get ready to read, take pop quizzes, and participate in class. Makes you have mandatory community involvement, gives extra credit opportunities though.

Comment:

do not take this lady if you do not plan on majoring or minoring in psychology. she is the WORST professor at cofc. she is extremely rude, instructions are not clear, and requires you to go to bogus school events. DO NOT take her if youre tryna have an easy semester.

Comment:

At times she can be one of my professors because she cares so much about the subject and wants to see you do well. She is a very tough grader but if you do all the readings and study well, you will be fine. Participation is a very big thing and she will give difficult pop quizzes if she thinks students are not doing the readings.

Comment:

Run like the plague! Prof Ross has the right intentions, but there are tons of assignments and she isn't consistent grading. Also she is a huge liberal, if you are anything but far left in your beliefs you will feel alienated 90% of the time. Oh and there is a volunteering project that will sneak up on you. Wish I had taken someone else.

TONS of reading in the course and very difficult quizzes (5 of them.) Lisa is a good professor and keeps class interesting but is a tough grader and you're always unsure what grade you'll get on her papers (3 of them.) Participation matters!! I still would recommend this class because I definitely learned a lot but its a tough one.

Dr. Ross is a great person. You can tell she really cares about what she's teaching. Her lectures are interesting and inspiring. Make sure you go to class and really study the notes. There is a lot of reading and there may be pop quizzes on it. The quizzes are difficult so make sure you have a grasp on the material. Overall, a great teacher.

Comment:

She assigns like 4 6 page articles to read each night, super detail oriented on her pop quizzes and her tests are basically memorizing ridiculous amounts of statistics. She's sweet and passionate about the subject but has incredibly high expectations. You have to read to pass the class and the textbook is incredibly necessary.

Really great professor and super cool class. She can be a little unorganized but her lectures are solid. Fair grader on papers but you won't do well on quizzes if you don't study. Quizzes come from lectures, notes, and reading. Only real downside is the mandatory community service assignment. 10 hours of community service and an paper.

Comment:

Professor Ross is an obvious expert in her field and somehow still manages to be the most approachable, considerate human. Her social course consists of a wide range of topics. She also encourages interesting discussions that are actually applicable to our daily lives. Social was not an easy class but if you read and attend class you will do well!

I took this class for my major and was very excited. I like the material, the way the professor teaches and approaches such things, not so much. Heads up anyone with a disability and wants to take a test(exam) through SNAP with her. Don't do it. She never turned in my test to SNAP the day i was supposed to take it. Save yourself from her

Took her for WGS, she's super passionate about the topic and is a really awesome woman in general. She's pretty laid back and really wants the students to share stories/experiences so a lot of time in class is spent on people discussing their own experiences which is awesome. And she's really good at seeing both sides of the argument

Comment:

Dr. Ross is a great person, but the class was ridiculous. I took it as part of the Learning Community. Expect a LOT of reading, and participating in class is crucial. She gets off topic a LOT, and she'll assign pop quizzes a lot when people don't answer her questions. I had an A in every class except for hers. Quizzes are heavily based off notes.

Comment:

She is such a caring professor and she LOVES the material. The tests are hard but I made an A- test average for studying usually only two nights before. READ THE TEXT BOOK AND USE THE ONLINE QUIZZES. She takes some questions from that site so you're dumb if you dont use them. It isnt an easy class but she is by far the best Social Psych Professor

I've taken WGST 200 and PSYC 350 with Dr. Ross, and I've never had a problem with her. As long as you do the readings and talk in class, your participation is set, and just follow her essay guidelines. She is hilarious and an interesting lecturer. I've loved both classes with her! She's only hard if you put forth no or little effort.

first, this was an FYE therefore it should have been easy, lets just say.. total opposite. 10 hours of Community service & a paper on it Power points & lectures are hard to follow Tests are very hard & hard to prepare for Easy paper grader if it's proof read Be ready to read ALOT Like her as a person, don't recommend taking her for a class

OMG. I loved her for Psych of Gender.I could never pass a test and but they weren't weighted heavily. I got a B. Social Psych, however, the grading percentages suck. Most of your grade comes from test. You will never pass her test, ever. The papers are easy. The impossible test are not. They'll mess your GPA up. Take her for Gender, but not Social.

if you love reading 120 text book pages a week take this class. If you love writing essays that will be harshly graded take this class. If you love taking tests that are impossible to pass, take this class. textbook readings are mandatory to pass the class. volunteering also mandatory. listen to the bad reviews THEY ARE ALL RIGHT

It's fun while you're in class and she's really enthusiastic, but the tests are IMPOSSIBLE. I understood all of the material and still couldn't break a 75. There are 5 tests and 6 papers, 1 of which is based on 8 hours of mandatory volunteer work. Ridiculous amount of work for this class. Don't recommend.
