Comment:

Her class was easy but it was pure torture going to every day. I learned nothing going every single day but had to since she takes attendance. All the quizzes are online and she's very nice and helpful about them, but that's about it. Bring a laptop or other homework to her class and SAVE YOURSELVES FROM GOING INSANE. You have been warned...

Comment:

She's just a cute lady from connecticut. Her class is super easy and easily the most boring class I've ever taken. Easy A but you won't learn much. Seriously bring some crosswords or something to class though.

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory, but it's pointless to go since all of the tests are online. Even the midterm and final exam are take-home. She passes around an attendance sheet that you have to initial so you can just have a friend sign you in and she won't notice. It's easily the most BORING class I've ever taken so bring something to entertain yourself.

Can be boring sometimes but her class was easy. She let us bring in our essays for most tests and the few papers we had to write were graded fairly. I would take her again.

Dr. Brainerd made social psychology really interesting. She is very easy going and class discussions are fun. 3 easy tests and 3 unformal papers. Great class.

This class is easy as long as you read do well on the home quizzes and do the extra credit. Professor Brainerd is willing to help you with anything. Class lectures do get boring. I used class time to either catch up on sleep or do homework.

Her lectures at times can get a little boring...but she is such a sweet lady. She certainly is a fair grader on her test, she lets you drop your two lowest quizzes. The final is paper which is very easy....deff. take her class

Comment:

Arggh i can not get into this class at all with only 2 weeks left i wish i just dropped it but i didnt. This class was difficult for me and the book was even harder to understand. Dr. Brainerd is a very nice lady and she understands your trouble because she's been through it. She is easy to talk to and learn from. Maybe just maybe i'll get a C..

Her lectures are ridiculously boring. She seems nice but in an hour and fifteen minutes it seems like she's said absolutely nothing. Nice lady tho, she drops 2 lowest quizzes.

Lectures are dull, she goes off on tangents frequently, you never know if what she is saying is relevent or not. I got an A in the class, but only because I read the book.

Very nice lady. Gives you many chances to do well gradewise. she drops 2 of your lowest quiz scores. She'd rather have you learning the info then be worrying about your grade.

Comment:

She is a very fair grader and when she gives quizes if you get above an 80 it counts as 100 and if you dont you can retake it until you get above an 80. Shes nice and very understanding, if you have to take statistics for psychology i would highly recommend her.

Comment:

For a statistics class this was really easy. You basically have to teach yourself though, so hopefully your good at that kind of thing. Really nice prof. She does try to help you in any way she can, but, well frankly, shes just not that good at helping which goes back to my original point about teaching yourself.
