Comment:

Most disrespectful, ridiculous professor I ever had. Class content was simple for me and I aced it, but she's a horrible teacher. Try not to take 'edjucayshunal sikeaaaaaahligy' with her. (she's from brooklyn.)

Comment:

Nice lady, goofy. Doesn't really know how to handle bad/disruptive students in a class. Most of stuff is from powerpoints. No quizzes, just tests. They're not too bad. Random attendance. Usually on fridays. Boring overall though.

Comment:

She's a super nice lady & will help you with anything you need. She is goofy and out there sometimes, but her tests are an easy A, if you go to class and pay attention. Don't buy the book,everything on the tests come from the outlines/notes we take in class. You will be bored some days, but you'll get an A. One of my favorite PSY classes/professors

Comment:

Mostly uses Powerpoint in her lectures, and takes attendance randomly, awarding bonus points to those who are there (for the class I took, anyway). Her tests are not difficult if you study, and the homework is fairly light. Very fair grading, and a nice lady. Would take her again.

Comment:

This class is mostly self-taught. Exams are based from the textbook. Lectures not very helpful. If you sit in the back and spend class time reading and studying instead of listening, an A is manageable.

Comment:

This class was...confusing to say the least. She is a very nice, understanding, and maybe a little bit too "fair" of a person but in no way shape or form does she know how to teach. She's an intelligent person, BUT she just doesn't know how to teach it.

Comment:

Nice lady. A bit boring, harsh on attendance, and she plays favorites. But she sticks to her syllabus so at least nothing about the class catches you by surprise. If she gives weekly quizzes you'll see some of those questions on the tests. Tests are not hard. Work for your grade, go to class, and you'll do fine. Be lazy, and she'll bust you.

Comment:

She's ridiculous. Not only is she all over the place & not able to keep track of anything, but you don't learn anything at all. By the time she gets her stuff in order, you have 15 minutes left in class. I'll give her this though, she's a very caring, nice person, I just hate her as a professor.

Comment:

She is a good prof I thought, she took it down a notch this semester, no required attendance or weekly quizzes, just easy tests and the journal entries. just do what she tells you to. the journals are practically written for you in the paper she gives explaining them. use the website the book gives you, too, that helps alot with the quizzes.

Comment:

She is nice...kinda weird though. You get 10 bonus points if you never miss a class. She's pretty boring and never lets you out early. She does everything the hard way. You have a quiz every tuesday and you have to read the book. The class is ok.

Comment:

I don't know what all the complaining is about. I thought Ditkoff was a good teacher and the class was easy. Here's an idea: read some of the book, attempt to pass the easy tests, do the assignments, and don't skip a bunch of classes. She let's you out early most of the time anyways. God forbid you actually have to do something to get an A.

Comment:

Ditkoff is awful! she is very sexest, hates men. it is rediculous how she conducts herself. She absolutely has favorites in the class and talks about stuff that only 3 or 4 people know what she is talking about. do not take her if possible! she is a **** and will dock ur grade if u miss more than 2 times thats bull****!! **** her!

Comment:

I have no idea how people figure she picks favorites, she responds to the students who talk to her...I'm not one of those students. I got a 97% in her class by reading the book and taking notes from it...that's all you have to do to pass this class. In general she's nice but has a strict, but somewhat reasonable, attendence policy. Easy A.

Comment:

I had her for 3 classes and if she don't know you good luck. She picks out her favorite students and bends over backwards for them. She is also boring and very flighty and air headed. She is also crazy about attendance so if u dont' go to class she will really dock ur grade. I would not recommend her and I would never take her again.

Comment:

She is tough at first but as long as you attend classes she will help you and you will be fine. she is big on attendence so if your sick provide an excuse. in order to pass her tests you must read the chapter...........but if she knows your name she will help you out in the end!:)

B!TC# Unclear, no clear lecture points, tested from book, did not care and has favorites -- BIG TIME. If she calls you by name without looking at her little seating chart you have it made!
