Comment:

Wilma is amazing. She really does care about her students and wants them to do well, and she's hilarious. Paper was a Book Review, that I was nervous about because I had never written one before, but she's gives lots of criteria and student examples to help. Tests are pretty straightforward but long. You really do have to study though. Great prof!

I'm so glad I ignored these reviews and listened to a friend because Dr. Marshall is amazing. Her teaching method is efficient as she makes the material easier to understand while providing excellent examples/analogies. Her exams are long but very easy to do well on. Attending lecture really helps + READING THE BOOK! Also, great sense of humour!

Comment:

well caring prof. Made the harder material easier to understand. Approachable, cares for her students, if behind on a paper, she will help you. She is funny when she says her stories to make a point with the material on the slides. I only wish she would have a practice exam sheets on Blackboard. Would not recommend in skipping her class lectures.

Wilma is a pretty awesome professor. Yes, she gets sidetracked sometimes and yes, she is constantly late to class, but her way of explaining is very unique and helpful. She's very easy to talk to and to ask questions to, and is always very willing to listen. Send her your projects a couple weeks before they're do and she's happy to look at at them.

Comment:

Wilma is now one of my favourite psychology professors. She is very informative, elaborates topics in great detail and uses analogies to make sure we understand. The course content is not too much and there is one term project aside from exams. If you keep up with the content and read chapters ahead of time then the class should not be difficult!

Comment:

Most amazing prof I've ever had. Her lectures were always very inspiring, and the material was beyond interesting. I'd definitely recommend taking this course even if it's not required. There's a lot of information involved, and the book review is made a pretty big deal - but she's super helpful if you email her or go to her office hours.

Comment:

Wilma is very helpful and genuinely wants her students to do well and to succeed. However, she was late to almost every class (she always had some kind of elaborate excuse) and most of her lectures were spent discussing what she was going to talk about in the future which she never actually got around to. Her stories are interesting but irrelevant.

Comment:

Absolute worst professor. Is constantly distracted by stories and unnecessary information. To do well, go to her classes for the chapter guidelines that she hands out, then simply study the textbook and don't bother going to her class. Very multiple choice heavy, repeats sentences several times, doesn't follow her notes but tests everything in text

Comment:

She is a wonderful woman as Wilma, but a horrible professor as Doctor Marshall. All she ever does it talk in class, not about the subject at hand, and you hear more about her life in alberta and her 6 foot son than the course content. Would not take ever again, but would talk to her freely in my spare time.

Wilma is the best prof ever. For her Psycho 1200 class we had 4 multiple choice exams and a term paper. If you study her lecture notes (which you need to go to class to get) and the textbook then you'll be fine. She's a great prof and I really enjoyed her class!

Comment:

I took bio psych with dr marshal and i really liked her, the people who wanted to do nothing and get a good grade - didn't. She explains the material really well and always manages to sneak in a story or a joke to make the material more interesting. Would take more courses with her for sure.

Wilma is a fantastic professor. Although lectures can be long, they are generally entertaining and prepare you well for the exams. She truly wants her students to do well, and is willing to go over the material multiple times to ensure this. If I had the chance to take another course with her, I definitely would.

Your textbook will be your best friend. Dr. Marshall does not teach and always goes off on a tangent during her lectures. Lots of cancelled classes and late plenty of times. On a plus side, you can skip this class and do just fine. Long story short, AVOID AT ALL COST.

Comment:

I just ended up stressing and regretting for taking her class. The tests were super long with over 100 questions and a written part, and basically covered topics not discussed in class or in the text. Her lectures were very hard to follow, and very long. She was not very helpful, as she gets frustrated easily over the tiniest things. unprofessional

Comment:

Avoid taking psych with Wilma. Lectures are extremely long, boring and straight from the textbook. Spends 40 mins. going over things that are irrelevant to the whole chapter. She did not plan out her lectures properly and missed teaching us several chapters that were still on the tests. She is moody and not enthusiastic about teaching at all.

Comment:

Massive 100 question exams. She uses an outdated Psych Text then the one you have to get (different page numbers - wording for definitions). I found that even though I studied my butt off, the best I could get was a "B" on exams. Dont take her night class. She is very tired and the class turns out to be a correspondence course.

Comment:

You learn much more about her son and grandchildren than Bio Psych in Wilma Marshall's class. A considerable amount of every class is devoted to unrelated personal stories that are not even funny (then she says "I'm just trying to make you laugh"). However, she mentions what parts of the textbook will be tested, so have to attend. Not recommended
