Comment:

Would definitely take her again. She is very funny. She tells you stories to help you understand what she is teaching. I never used the book but you can. make sure to complete the virtual child EARLY! You have to right a paper on it. She gives good extra credit as well. We only had 5 grades. Her exams are easy if you take good notes and STUDY!

Comment:

Dev psych with Dr. Snyder was awesome. Buy the access code to virtual child online NOT through the bookstore. Also I never bought a book and did just fine. There is only one question that comes from the book and it truly is common sense. Snyder uses a harder grading scale so beware: 93-100 A 85-92 B and etc. The class was incredibly easy.

Read the book and work through the study guides before tests and you are set with Dr. Snyder. She offers easy to obtain extra credit as well. She's pretty fantastic over all and I would take her again in a heartbeat.

Comment:

Class is mostly boring. She has a small speech impediment but it didnt effect me or being able to understand the information. She has power points that you just copy from the board. She always had a smile on her face and was a really sweet lady.

Comment:

I took Dr. Snyder for Psych of Creativity, and while the class was interesting, she was not. She made the class difficult, and she's very strict. The tests require a lot of studying, so make sure you do the lecture outlines and study guides. The final project is a lot of work and only worth 40 points.

She's an amazing professor! She really knows what she's talking about and doesn't hesitate to answer any questions anyone might have. Tests are a little tricky, but she gives study guides. There's a lot of opportunity for extra credit too. You get to raise a virtual baby, too, which is kind of fun! I'd recommend her class!

She is extremely nice and will go above and beyond to help you as long as you show an effort. In this, and any of her other classes, she makes the content relate-able to real life, so you can really get a lot out of the class.

I took Dr. Snyder by recommendation from a friend and am so glad I did. She is amazing. Her tests come straight from the lectures. If you understand the material and study, you'll get an A. If you don't understand, she gives plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions. I didn't buy the book and didn't need it.

Comment:

She was very clear in what her expectations for the class were. Textbook was required, 4 tests and she gave a very detailed study guide. Tests were half mult. choice and half short answer but don't let that intimidate you. Very excellent teaching style and she knows what she is talking about. I would definitely recommend her for any psych class!

Dr. Snyder-- a very great teacher, uses real life examples, provides lecture notes, uses D2L, follows syllabus, offers extra credit options, encourages you to visit her during office hours to get help if you're not understanding content, provides study guides, reviews for tests, and makes sure you have thorough comprehension of the material.

She is a delightlful lady with an interminably good attitude, but doesn't goof off. She expect you to be a student. She is thorough. READ THE SYLLABUS. Do the work and don't look for excuses, they wont get you far. Asks questions on test that she doesn't go over in class to make sure you're reading. Outstanding professor.

I'm a psych major and I can say she has definitely been one of my favorite professors. I had Dr. Snyder for a two and a half hour night class and she held my attention the entire time. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would mot definitely recommend her developmental psych class!

Comment:

I thought this class was rather hard. There are several projects to do along with studying. Lots of "theory" that was only minimally related to "life". On the strict side as a professor, good teacher but I felt she was a little beyond me an not relatable.

Comment:

Such a sweet lady! Always tries to keep class nteresting by giving examples or dancing around. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you miss less than 3 classes, you receive bonus points at the end. Yes, she may be hard of hearing, but she is great at what she does and NOT difficult to understand!

Comment:

Very organized, but very strict when it comes to late work. Class was interesting and tests pull mostly from the powerpoints. She is also willing to advise you in career options later. and for those marking her as "unclear" because of her speech, please grow up, after the first day you should know exactly what she's saying.

If you take good notes, do the study guide and study a little bit you should pass the class. She makes the class interesting by giving real life examples.

She is nice and has clear exceptions. My class was test based so if you went to class you should have gotten at least a B

Comment:

Dr. Snyder has, by far, been my favorite professor at Edinboro. She is an incredibly brilliant and passionate woman who genuinely wants her students to succeed. I have taken 2 of her classes, both of which I highly recommend. She is always available, conducts regular review sessions, and is VERY knowledgeable on all subjects she teaches.

She is very enthusiastic and obviously loves teaching. Creativity And The Arts was a fun class. Just try and actually put in an effort towards the projects and you should at least get a C.

Comment:

The creative lab was probably like most labs... intimidating and took a lot of time outside of class to complete. You're group decides participation of each member so make sure you pull your wait and have good communication. She uses that feedback when grading the final poster. Overall the class was really interesting and a challenge. Good luck.
