Prof. C is great, she is a lenient grader and gives extra credit opportunities. Her lectures are not mandatory, if you can make time to read the textbook and case studies on your own time you'll be fine for the exams.

She is a great teacher! Sometimes we spend too much time on one topic, but if we did, it was always beneficial. We would get into huge discussions which help you get lots of examples and the tests aren't too difficult. just make sure you follow the directions for papers and you should be fine :)

Great teacher! Has a fun and engaging personality which helps the class go well. Offers extra credit for those who attend class on days others do not. Tests are fair but there are only four exams so each one is important. Overall, a great teacher because she is passionate with the subject she teaches.

Took her for personality and she was amazing. So sweet and knowledgeable and probably my favorite professor that I've ever had. Like the other person said, take the online quizzes for extra practice and you'll do awesome on the tests.

Comment:

She's really nice and really helpful. I would definitely recommend taking her class. Make sure you read over the book and DEFINITELY do the quizzes from the book's website. But the tests mostly consist of her PowerPoints. She has a long paper on a celebrity - make sure it's long enough and that you include everything from the psychologist's theory.

She's very nice and is one of the few professors that actually knows what she's talking about. Loves what she does, and gives great examples on ALL the topics. Tests are pretty straight forward. Class is not mandatory, just go to the review session before the tests. Gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit.

Made the content EXTREMELY easy to follow, classes were optional. If you don't feel like going to class, reading the book is fine. Class lectures were all that were necessary for the tests. So helpful and overall the nicest professor I've ever had.

Comment:

Prof. Cisewski definitely knows psychology. The class is all thoroug powerpoint lectures but they are entertaining because she relates each concept with the real world. 3 exams and 1 final with extra credit opportunities. I tried not buying a textbook since quizzes are online. I got C's on my exams without reading. You actually learn in this class!

Comment:

not the easiest course But this professor grades very fairly, gives partial credit& happily answers any questions(even stupid ones that some teachers are annoyed by)Overall, i think she is super helpful and surprisingly nice. the really tricky part is memorizing all the formulas but other than that just do the hw and go to class and you'll be fine

Comment:

She's very clear in her lectures and notes, she tends to go a bit fast so its helpful to get the notes on blackboard before class. She's understanding and is willing to help with any problems. Quizzes are not too hard as long as you study. Once you get used to the class its smooth sailing.

very interesting class. she explains things very well and knows exactly what she's talking about because she actually practices what she teaches outside of the classroom. oh yeah she's a total **** too, makes going to class that much better.

Comment:

I took Foundations of Psych. my freshman year and got the worst grade I've gotten in all four years at NU. I studied hard and still bombed the tests. She's a Psych Professor...she wants to think she's smarter than you. The entire class is Power Point and BORING!!!! Psych can be interesting, too. I was disappointed!!!!

Comment:

This class was extremely easy. All the quizzes were based directly off of the powerpoint slides, which made it really easy. She only gave formulas for the final, but I'd say that this one a very easy class and she was a very good/interesting professor, even teaching statistics!
