Comment:

Bev was a good teacher, in that she didn't mark super harshly if you understood the general basis of what she was talking about. Only one test for this class and you can choose when to have it (I recommend taking the first one). As well as that, in the 3 hour format there is a quiz at the end of every class but only 8/10 count! Solid class

Comment:

Bev knows what she wants and communicates it very clearly. If you don't follow her instructions to a "T" you will struggle. She literally gives you example work for every single thing she asks you to do. Just do exactly that and you'll get an A+! Chapter reviews every seminar and grades for attendance. Show up, do the work and it'll be easy.

Listen to the other reviews that say she's disorganized. Her assignments are so unclear and so uneccessarily complicated. She's also a caring woman but can get really snappy and condescending as well.

Comment:

Bev cares a lot for her students. She gives points for attendance, but you still pass if you miss a couple of classes. Grading is fair and exams are fairly easy. Chapter Reviews almost every weak, so reading the chapter is mandatory. I didnt like doing the presentation but I really enjoyed this class.

I really enjoyed Bev's class. It was a really nice welcome back to a school environment and I felt she was clear and concise about all the materials. I appreciate that she assures that her tests are standardized and also presents options for those who need to manage test anxiety. The group assignment was very clearly laid out in syllabus.

Comment:

Did not enjoy this class at all. I love psychology but she ruined it for me. We had to do a presentation and the instructions were not clear at all. This teacher is not clear with want she wants her class to do and adds extra instructions last minute. other than that the tests were easy. but i would not recommend taking her class unless you have to

Very nice lady, you can tell she wants the best for her students. The lectures are long but not necessarily boring, she is a very laid back instructor that's for sure. Would definitely take another class with her.

Comment:

Bev is amazing and by far one of my fav professors. She does review exams one week before each midterm to help students time-manage and prepare efficiently. A nice balance of group and individual work. Consistent marker, and clear content on all review sheets and assignment outlines. If you have a passion, she will take notice.

Comment:

I would recommend avoiding this class if possible, the main reason why you see people giving good ratings is because she marks very easy. Lots of handouts from her, often poorly explained-you will get 4+ things due in one week- frustrating. I found the teachings to be boring and did not come away with having learned anything. got good grades tho!

Bev has so much patience and is always there to answer any questions you may have. It's clear that she cares about her students doing well - there are no surprises and she marks very fairly.

Bev is absolutely my favorite teacher I have ever had in my two years at Camosun. She is genuinely passionate about psychology & will go the extra mile for you/assist you to make sure you get the mark you want if you are willing to put in the work. Have questions? She is more then happy to answer them.

Comment:

She will give you all the information you need for your test either by textbook or by lecture, usually both and more than once, just pay attention. If you have a question then email her, she will answer. If she says to highlight something than it is on the test. The textbooks she uses are sectioned into the concepts you need to know. Very clear.

Bev is wonderful! She's very approachable and always willing to help. I found the course really interesting and useful. The group project seemed intimidating at first but it turned out to be pretty fun! Just a tip, read the textbook chapters thoroughly bc they are what the tests are based on. And don't forget to prep for the essay questions!

Bev is very nice but very unclear with material. Lectures were very boring and rushed towards to end because she would go into too much detail during the beginning of the lecture. Must rely on textbook in order to do well in the course. She is a very easy marker.

Comment:

Bev is alright as a teacher. She's not clear when explaining things.. The whole class was confused for 10 mins because of lack of clarity. Lectures can be boring. Textbook readings are long.. But all the quizzes come straight from the text. Bev is a super wonderful person! She is one of the kindest people I've met

Professor Lenihan is clear, straightforward, and pleasant to learn from. Tests were frequent, and (long) chapters of reading necessary to do well on them. One oral presentation, and two transcription assignments. Lengthy class requiring dedication, though enjoyable overall.

Bev is great. If you have any questions or need more help on ANYTHING she's super willing to help. Some lectures were incredible boring and I could have spent my time better, but others were fabulous. Overall she's a pretty good professor, although sometimes her personal views on subjects are pretty blatant.
