Her class is easy. She gives out study guides that make testtaking easy. There are some papers, but they are not very difficult if you follow her instructions.

Comment:

Gayla is an amazing teacher. I have 5 child development classes and hers is by far the most interesting. She does have you write fairly complicated and lengthy papers regarding child observations related to child psychology but her tests are super easy to study for (study guide given). She has so much info to give and she packs every moment in.

Nice and interesting lectures, can have a little bit of an attitude. And she can be unorganized, doesnt give you back your work for a long time so you dont really know your grade. But overall easy class.

Comment:

Shes a little complicated..I liked her class but she never gave our grades. If you ask about it, she most likely wont tell you. Her homework is easy, just study guides that basically are the answers on all her tests. Many handouts. About 4/5 papers. Class presentations and group projects are #1 on her list. Shes a bit confusing with things.

Comment:

Average amount of work. About 4 or so typed papers. Not much homework. Tests are identical to study guides. Super specific as to what she wants in papers. Doesn't give feedback or explanation as to why points are docked. Makes one feel dumb for asking a question. Passionate and knowledgeable on subject matter but is not engaging with students.

I really like Mrs Anderson, I learned a lot in her class. She is passionate about what she teaches. And although she gives a lot of homework is for your good. What I got from her teaching, is to do your most best and you get the good grade. She prepares you. She was one of my general classes. But I would definitely choose her again.

Terrible instructor. No clear grading, constantly changing assignments. No feedback. Looses papers. Disorganized. And its not ever her fault. Avoid like the plague. Easy class but don't count on passing.

Comment:

Very unorganized, she lost the first exam so it was postponed. Her grading rubric on the papers and maps made absolute no sense. Treats the class like elementary kids and makes you feel dumb for asking questions. Her syllabus was too cluttered around, so all the due dates to everything were confusing. I do not recommend this professor.

Comment:

Wasn't my favorite professor, but I did enjoy the subject even if I was the one reading the textbook for more information. There are about four papers, pretty easy as long as you follow directions on it all, and a few group projects. It's an easy A class.

Comment:

She's disorganized. It was group project after group project, and paper after paper. Always ask her for her project/paper requirements because they change every time. She can be quite rude and doesn't listens to students. She treats it as if she's teaching elementary. She's late often. Never lectures really-but makes you take video notes randomly.

Comment:

Tests are photocopies of the study guides which she painstakingly goes over every single answer to in class. Super easy grader on papers, but they require a peculiar and particular format. Treats students like they are in elementary school - condescendingly so sometimes. Easiest A ever but if it's your major, you're not going to learn much.

I took her class which wasn't needed for my major. She gives good lectures and will explain info again if not understood. Her syabllus wasn't professionally done to understand. And wasn't rude at times.

Comment:

Some might say she's tough because sh'e s very strict on not taking any late work but she makes very easy grading packets and it is very clear on when they are due. This consists of about 35 questions which extremely easy because there are just multiple choice, matching, and true or false. These answers are found in the text book, which you NEED.
