AWEOSME PROFESSOR! 100% would take her class again. She makes lectures very entertaining and she really knows what she's talking about. An added bonus is she's hilarious. Tells a lot of stories based on personal experience so you really understand the subject. If you don't pay attention in lectures you will have a tough time on the tests.

You can tell shes really passionate about teaching others and she simplifies her lectures so that anyone can take her class. Her exams are lecture heavy, with examples of her own thrown in but if you study and pay attention in class, you wont get less than a B! Also gives tons of extra credit so you can boost up if needed. Shes also hilarious!

Merrill is a gem - easily the best professor I've ever had. She's clear, focused, and engaging in her lectures; just show up to class and you'll pass with flying colors. What really tops it off is her winning personality though - truly one of the most caring, passionate, and kindest instructors out there. Thank you Professor Merrill!

I take every psych class from Merrill. Refuse to take any other professor if I can avoid it. A ton of easy extra credit opportunities, transparent lectures and assignments. Knows her students on a personal level in smaller class sizes. She helped me decide what field of psychology to go in.

Jennifer is one of my most favorite professors in Skyline! She is so full of energy every class session, forcing me to pay attention to her! She makes me want to major in Psych. Her class is so fun and I always look forward to coming. Lectures are based on power points and the homework is mostly online. We play Kahoot to prepare to tests.

One of the best professors I've ever had. She really is passionate about what she teaches and all of the lectures were interesting and very well structured using power-point slides. All exams reflected on the power-points, so it was easy to study for them. Homework is done online, and extra credit is provided as well. Would definitely recommend!

She was very nice and always had energy for her students. I appreciated her dedication to her teaching she connected lectures to personal life making it more interesting. Her tests are very straight forward and she's constantly offering extra credit. I probably used the textbook for the first chapter only. Uses an online format for homework.

She was so clear in what she wanted us to, her lectures are clear and interesting. Lots of help with material, you well need access to the internet. She uses a website for quizzes, which cost for grade. If you are lazy don't take her class. if you want to learn take her class.
