Comment:

I absolutely love her and her class. She is extremely knowledgeable and will answer any question you have. Her tests are memorizing 50 terms, very easy to do if you start a few days in advance (all on quizlet). 3 tests can be retaken for max B+, 2 papers that can be redone for max A+. LOTS OF EASY EXTRA CREDIT. Put the time in and its an easy 4.0

Love Nash!! She is super knowledgeable about psychology and the content of the class is really interesting. She allows you to re-do almost everything and offers extra credit. Tough grader and tough with grammar and spelling but overall a really great professor.

Barbara Nash is my favorite professor Ive had so far at Bentley! She puts a lot of effort into her lectures and shows really interesting videos. She gives study questions for every test and then chooses 10 questions from them to put on the test. She offers extra credit and you can retake tests and rewrite papers. Make sure you do the study guides!

Comment:

Professor Nash turns an interesting class with somewhat challenging material a lot easier with the way she conducts the class. All of the papers and tests can be revised for full credit and the test is literally her taking 14 random study questions from your homework word for word. Plus if you show up for every single class she rounds up your grade

Comment:

She is an awesome professor! I was nervous for the workload at first, but once you get through the first couple of weeks it isn't bad at all. The part of the class that is difficult is putting the time in to memorize everything for the exams, but she offers tons of extra credit, and there were a lot of people who got over 100 in the class.

One of the best professors I've had at Bentley. She is super passionate about teaching and makes jokes all of the time. You can redo all of your assignments, essays and tests. She gives you a study guide with all of the test questions on there. The class is a lot of work but if you try you shouldn't get below a 3.3. Take her class

Professor is a good professor who has relevant experience and tries to keep class entertaining with videos and such. The tests are definitely somewhat difficult and the papers ask a lot so make sure to pay attention and take good notes. At the end of the day, she's a great Professor, offers some extra credit and wants people to do well

She is a great professor that really wants you to succeed in her class. She gives a lot of extra credit assignments that can really help your grade. She is a very tough grader and the tests are VERY HARD, even if you study. Make sure you do the study questions! Papers and assignments are very interesting. She is great at giving feedback!Take her!

Prof. Nash is an amazing woman. Even though she is a tough grader sometimes, you have the chance to rewrite the paper and retake the tests. The tests are all based on the information mentioned in class. She will help you a lot on the rewrites and it is easy to get full points on rewrites. If you work hard, it is highly possible to get a 4.0.

I don't think I took the class as seriously as I should have. The professor is very good and kind, but she expects a lot from assignments. That being said she offers re-writes and REALLY DOES try to help her students. Her in-class notes are pretty important so make sure to take notes for the test. Also try to participate, just a few times at least

This teacher is tough. Be ready to work your butt off with her. Almost every week there is a big assignment due. She will send your papers back if there are grammar mistakes or if she doesn't think it's perfect. I had to rewrite a paper three times once. As the semester goes on, the class gets more interesting. She gives extra credit, fair lady.

Comment:

If you are taking this class just for credit, I would recommend switching your professor. She requires a lot of work, for a psychology class in a business school. Tests are straight memorization up to 50 questions per test. I took my second semester freshmen year, and it was probably the hardest class in my semester....

Best professor I have ever taken.I kid you not, one of the most knowledgeable and interesting people. Her passion makes the class even more interesting.She is meticulous and a grammar-freak but she lets you rewrite any papers. Tests are easy since it's literally the study guide but do study.

Comment:

Maybe i am biased because i like psychology. But her clas is very intersting. She talks about a lot of interesting facts and is always helpful. However, you have to work ur ass off to get a good grade.But the good thing is, you can do everything twice except the final exam. She really tries hard to make sure you learn everything you need to learn.

I really enjoyed class with Professor Nash. She really cares about her students education and will do anything to help them. Although there is a lot of memorization, it is important and useful information. Most people go into the class not knowing much about Abnormal Psychology but come out knowing so much. It is a great class and I recommend it.

Do the study review sheets and make flash cards. She lets you make up exams up to a B+ and rewrite papers for full credit. she also offers a lot of extra credit options and grades you fairly on papers. Watch out, she likes to snipe you on grammar mistakes but this class abnormal psych covers both your C and D requirements. Take this course!

Class lectures and notes are ok, but the tests are based on memorization, and there's two big papers due for the course. Choose another professor if you can.

Comment:

Dr. Nash is definitely the best Professor I have had at Bentley. Do the study questions and study them. You will get an A on all the tests if you do. The study questions are the exact questions on the test. Her classes are interesting and I've never been bored. Definitely take her. You learn a lot and can rewrite, or retake any test or paper.

I called her Ms. Nash once instead of Dr. Nash and she hated me after that. I got straight A's in psych in hs, I ended up with a 1.3 in her class. Lot of work, Plays favorites.. definitely. Clearly I think you should take her class...
