Comment:

She is one of the sweetest people ive ever met. the class is easy but she makes it interesting. Only 3 tests and she offers lots of extra credit including 10 points if you only miss 2 days and surveys and experiments. She has a textbook but if you go to the lectures you should be just fine without it.

Dr Malone will make your day turn from gray to yay! She is thankful for class participation and will remember your attendance when grades are entered. Her Lifespan Development class is informational and reasonable. I recommend both the class and this professor!

Comment:

When your take her class for Life Span you literally have 3 assignments the whole semester and 2 tests. Her class is easy if you READ the chapters because she teaches from the power point. She's really nice. Dismisses class early. Doesn't really take attendance that much but you should still attend. Makes you introduce yourself on the first day

I honestly feel like if attendance wasnt necessary then Id only attend to take tests and quizzes. She is very technologically-challenged and it shows. She offers a study guide though, which is an excellent point however.

She's OK. I didn't much care for the class but she is really cool as a person. Didn't learn super much but it was laid back. I honestly should've made a A, but I was lazy

Comment:

Dr. Malone is probably one of the sweetest professors I have had so far. She is so nice and willing to help if you have a problem. She stays on topic for the most part, but she likes to have discussions about personal stories. Not much outside work, & test are a piece of cake. I would recommend her to anyone & take her again and again if I could.

This class was suppose to be a fun class to have hands on activities. And let me tell you that all change when you walked in to "Dr. Malone" class. She has no clue what she is talking about wants the students to teach and plan her whole class and relies on the books online quizzes to teach her class. Which cost 30 dollars.

Comment:

Dr. Malone can be very frustrating, if you're a structured person. She's very unorganized, and her lectures are more of her talking about random stories and asking random questions than actually teaching.

Comment:

The class subject matter itself was dry and common sense. She IS quirky, but I thought that and class discussions, at least made it more interesting. If you want someone to coddle you, skip college. If you want to -gasp- read the text, get an A, and move on - take her.

Comment:

Dr. Malone has no business teaching. She can be funny from at times but she has no concern for her students on an emotional level. She would insulting a student because she thinks it is funny. During debates she would interrupt most who were speaking. She rarely stayed on topic. In my school career this class was the biggest waste of my time.

Comment:

Dr. Malone is one of the worst teachers I have ever had! She is not clear on what she wants. She changes her mind on assignments from week to week. Tells people different things, and just confuses the class. Her tests are just as confusing! They have the most random questions ever! Avoid her if possible!!!

Comment:

This woman is ridiculous! She teaches right off the powerpoints. She cannot even answer her own questions in class. She always says well i just dont know or you think so? There is never a definitive answer to anything we go over. Just buy the book read it study ur ppoints and teach urself and u will be just fine!good luck.its not bad just boring.

The class basically teaches itself with the presentations but if you read the chapter and highlight/underline/take notes or something on what the students said and study it you'll be fine. Try to make YOUR presentation stand out if you want an A

I thought she was a funny teacher. The content of the course is pretty boring, so it helped that she was a little quirky. READ THE CHAPTER and you can get an A.

Comment:

Dr. Malone is an average teacher, borderline awful. I've had her for both Ed. Psych and Measurement and Evaluation. In both classes I've noticed a few things. 1) She tries to cover too much material in a very little amount of time and 2) She can't reel in a class and 95% of it is pointless drivel. Read the book and don't bother with notes.

Yvonne Malone is a wonderful human being. She is simply one of the best individuals working at Tech. She makes going to class a wonderful experience and I learned a lot in her class. I consider her a mentor and a friend. I wish TTU had another 600 professors like her.
