She's an awesome professor. I loved her class. She's funny and does an excellent job explaining things. Her tests are not difficult as long as you study. She's very understanding and helpful.

Comment:

She is one of the kindest and easiest online professors anyone could ever take. As long as you do the learning curves and occasionally video activities every week, you'll be fine, but you will have to read the book for quizzes and tests. They're not that hard, though and she will give test feedback and info if necessary.

Dr. Merwin is really nice and will help you with anything. If you want to pass, you need to attend class and read the book. There were four tests and not very many assignments, so you need to study.

She's one of the better professors I've had. She doesn't give test, she gives a quest for every chapter and you can use these written assignments (that aren't mandatory because they aren't graded) you've done on your quest. The midterm and final are both done in a group that depends on the scores you've made so far in the class so its fair.

Comment:

Dr. Merwin is really nice. There is a lot of work involved in this class, with almost daily assignments. After a while, that gets exhausting. Overall, she's a good instructor, but her lectures can be long and sometimes uninteresting. Since attendance is mandatory, be prepared to have to listen to a lot.

She is by far my favorite professor at UTM. As long as you read the chapters and pay attention to her lecture, you should do fine. I definitely recommend her.

Loved the class, she's funny, she does cuss a little (not much), but if she knows it bothers someone she tries not to. She has lots of experience and she shares stories quite a bit which makes lectures pleasant!

One of if not the best professor in the Psychology department. She is helpful and fun. She loves what she teaches and everyone she gets to teach it to. Just finished her Abnormal Psych and Film class. If you are fortunate enough to have the option to, take her for this class! Her use of films help to understand the subject much easier! So fun!

I LOVED Dr. Merwin. Almost made me want to change my major and I originally just took the class for the honors credit. Loves people to participate in class and ask questions. She enjoyed curiosity and the students who showed interest in learning. Just read the text for tests, take notes, and you're good! Loved this class!

Dr. Merwin is relatable, funny, and sarcastic (which I loved). She made it a very enjoyable class for me, and she's willing to work with the students to help them out. You just have to be sure and study a lo for her quizzes and tests. Other than that, I loved having her as a professor.

Comment:

Class is very unstructured. Make sure to read your book. She wants you to seriously apply the info, so try to learn as much as you can. She quizzes you over the outside readings. Tests are hard, and a little confusing. You pretty much have to teach yourself. As a person, she's great though. Funny. Intelligent. Go to class. STUDY ALOT.

Very helpful, she wants you to succeed. If you need help just ask her. The tests are all mc and there was no outside class work. But DO NOT text in her class, even if you think your gettin away with it.

Dr. Merwin is great. She is very knowledgeable and cool too. The things she says are hilarious. She gives only tests and an extra credit quiz. The book is essential, and her notes are too. Most test questions come from the book but there are questions from her notes as well. One of the best professors at Martin for sure.

Dr. Merwin is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. She keeps her classes interesting and really motivates you to do well not for a grade but for the sake of learning the material. She will be more than happy to help you with anything you don't understand. And she treats you like an adult!

Excellent teacher. Very helpful. Willing to help, inside and outside of class. Uses real-life examples to relate the information. Gives extra credit if vocab words and examples are completed. Encourages for textbook to be read, but her class can be passed without it. Completing the study guide is also a good idea, sometimes questions are used.

Comment:

Dr. Merwin is a wonderful professor and person. I have learned a lot from her both in and out of class. For those of you who do not like her for one reason or another, take the time to talk to Dr. Merwin outside of class and your opinions may change. She expects you to think for yourself. She doesn't want cookie cutter answers. Be original.
