Comment:

She is a great professor and really strives to make sure her students do well. She wants to make sure everyone understands what they're doing. There's a lot of help available for the long research paper but it is completed in blocks so it's not so bad. Fairly simple class, no textbook needed.

Comment:

Dr. Brondolo really cares about you doing well; this is a woman who loves research. She is very clear, albeit a tad verbose. The material is overall easy, but the course load is immense. It is a very writing and research heavy course. Papers will take a long time because it takes a long time to find supporting peer reviewed articles.

Comment:

This class is difficult, but its mandatory and writing based, so practically impossible to ignore. Dr B is super nice and really great bc she really wants you to understand what's going on. The class setup is paper after paper, coinciding with quizzes and written exams. Expect to learn a lot, but also expect to hate why you became a psych major.

Comment:

This is the most confusing psych class given. Dr. Brondolo is the sweetest creature in the world but between her and her TAs, the work changes every day. She says something in class and you get in trouble for doing that in lab. Its so stupid, almost impossible to get an A unless you pick a laid back TA!

Comment:

As the other comments suggest, your lab instructor will do most of the grading for your papers and tests. However, this should not diminish Brondolo's teaching skills. While lecture can be repetitive, she is approachable and encourages participation. Her knowledge in the field is vast and one can learn a lot from listening to her talk in class.

Comment:

Dr. B is great! She is super knowledgeable and respected in the field. She wants to make sure everyone learns so she will repeat concepts when anyone is lost. Go to class and ask questions so she gets to know your face. There's a lot of work in the course and it can get pretty tedious but she is extremely helpful so it's really not a problem at all

Comment:

This professor is awesome. She really knows her stuff. You have to be sort of persistent when asking for help, but she is an excellent explainer and a great resource. She is super up-to-date on all of the current research and is highly regarded in her field. Take her class!!!

Comment:

Research Methods- this class was extremely intimidating at first. i wanted to drop it.. but it actually was not bad at all. lecture is kinda pointless.. most of the work comes from lab and the TA assistence but the class itself it pretty managable you just have to put the time and effort in. dont bother with the texts. never use it

PSYCHOLOGY MAJORS TAKE THIS WOMAN!!! EXCELLENT PERSON TO START NETWORKING WITH!!! She is extremely established in the psychological research community. Go to lab! Completely annoy your TA to understand the in class stuff and have everything due by the due dates. It helps to keep you on track.

to pass this class, GO TO LAB. I became lazy at the end which is why i didn't do as good as could have. it's alot of writing and memorizing but the work itself is not that hard. ur TA helps u ALOT. brondolo is not really that helpful, u almost forget she's ur teacher.

She knows her stuff really well, shes very intelligent but the Lab is 200 times more important than the lecture. DO NOT MISS LAB! The TAs will get u thru this class. It is not as hard as everyone says, work at it and ull do great.

Comment:

Do not be afraid of this class it is an easier class than I expected just do the work on time and the lab professors will help you. Dr. Brondolo does not grade anything ur professors grade EVERYTHING. Nisha Brady is the best and her class always looks the smartest in lecture.

Comment:

most of the learning is done in the labs DONT MISS THE LABS. but she is crazy smart and knows the subject inside and out. the assignments seem difficult, but she (and the lab asst) walk u thru step by step. u have to memorize alot for the exams, but not hard to get an A or B if you do what u need to do and ASK FOR HELP if u feel lost. Good prof!!

Comment:

The class is a waste of time. You only need the LAB and the TA's to do well. At first it seems confusing and difficult, but it gets clearer at the end. The workload is a lot though, so be prepared. You'll do well if you follow exactly what the TA's tell you to do. You have to memorize for midterm and final. Dr. Brondolo is not too helpful and clear

This class is a waste. The lab really is the only thing you need, the TAs tell you everything. No need to think for midterm or final, just memorize. Class is pointless and boring but easy.
