Comment:

She does not explain the material that well, however exams are easy if you have a science background. Neuro majors will find the class a joke, and psych majors will find it incredibly difficult. She can be incomprehensible at times.

I am in shock that anyone liked her at all. I've never heard a single person speak highly of her. She is awful, rude, unhelpful, and nearly incomprehensible. She is a disgrace to F&M

Altered States: Don't know if she knows what she is always talking about. Not a fair grader, TA correct papers. Tests are hard and not easy to prepare for.

Comment:

ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS AT THE COLLEGE. Professor Maswood's NTW course was my favorite. If you are a visual learner like myslef, you will do great things in this class. She has a POWERPOINT presentation FOR EACH class. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THAT! As long as your notes are up to par, you will do well. She's EXTREMELY approachable so feel free.

Comment:

the worst professor ive ever had. F&M boasts about it's teacher availability and helpfulness, they were far off the mark with this woman. she is hard to understand and extremely abrupt if you go in for help. unless you can figure everything out on your own she gets frustrated and short with you. AWFUL PROFESSOR- AVOID HER.

Great teacher! Is very nice and will clearly explain things to you if you go for extra help. As long as you study her notes, you will do very good on tests

Wow! What an amazing course and an incredible professor. She really cares about her students and wants you to do well. The comments below are insignificant. I recommend taking any class with her if you are interested in the biological basis of behavior.

She can't speak english and doesn't explain herself. The hardest lab grader out of all the professors. Avoid her at all costs

Comment:

Absolutely useless as a teacher, Doesn't explain herself well, gets caught up in her own beliefs on a topic. Says "you know" every other word, completely unyielding to any opposing opinions. Wanted to kill myself every thursday and tuesday. Not worth the walk to whitely

Great prof, bends over backwards for her students. Her teaching gets better as you progress to more advanced courses and get into more interesting topics.

Comment:

She will not give you an easy A. The material she covers in her classes are harder than the average psych class, and if you are not interested in the material it's better that you drop the class right away. If you want to do well always show up to class and memorize her notes.

Probably the most painful class I have taken at this school. Not only is she disinterested and completely lacking any type of passion for what she does, she is rude and unhelpful. She was difficult to deal with and unresponsive to students needs...YOU KNOW???

Comment:

Well, you got the short straw on this one. Just cross your fingers and hope you got a good preceptor who doesn't mind meeting with you and re-teaching what she just said. You think I'm exaggerating, but i'm not. O yeah-and read the lab manual, after Lab 6 she stops telling you the answers.

Comment:

The class was difficult because it was based solely on memorizing the class notes. But if you knew the notes you knew the material on the test. No tricks. I enjoyed the class, but know she doesn't like teaching Psych. 100, so I wouldnt take her for that.
