Professor Abramson is now Professor Wilson. She is a tough grader and very lecture heavy. You will hardly ever get out of class early nor does she cancel class often. Overall a good person, and she does care about her students if they seek help from her.

By far Dr. Wilson is one of my favorite professors at CSUB. She is really helpful and is accessible outside of class. Recommend going to her office hours if you have questions. She is patient and she'll answer all your questions. Tests are easy if you know your stuff. Always enjoyed going to this class. I'd recommend to take her. (:

I seriously don't care for this professor, she teaches a good lecture and all but she is so evil! It's like she finds whatever excuse to knocks points off of your assignments and has no mercy. I feel like shes unapproachable, she just makes you feel dumb when you talk to her. This is the 2nd time a take her and the last.

Comment:

Dr. Abramson is upbeat, funny and explains things well. She also leaves a lot of the class time open for discussion on the topics, which helped better soak in the information. One flaw though; she allows her home life to interfere with her mood while in class. So, be careful what and when you ask questions.

Male sure you print out the power points because it makes taking notes easier. Plus, most of the info for the test is on the power points or notes one takes. She's an awesome teacher who is willing to help when students ask for help.

Attendance is a must! Can't just get by, you earn your grade! It's not easy but doable. She is always willing to help. Tests are based on ppt lectures. There is a written portion. Try hard and there's no way you won't pass :) was scared to take this class but glad I did with her. She can have an attitude at times just fyi. Got an A-

Dr. Abramson is great. She wants you to learn and be well prepared for 300b. It's important to do the work and start studying after each class to be well prepared. Everything is in her power points. At any time you need help utilize her office hours but go prepped with your questions. Oh and for heavens sake go to class you'll be happy you did.

I can honestly say, although I got a C+ for the course, this is one of best instructors I've had. She will not spoon-feed her students, especially since it's he second part of Research Methods. Challenging, but not necessarily difficult. Highly recommend her.

Horrible professor. Self centered. Always speaking about how she was a A student and she was so organized. I will never take her again.

I highly recommend this professor. As a non-psycology major, I was afraid of how I would do in this class. But Dr. Abramson alleviated me of my fears. She is clear, good at explanations, and helps you earn better grades. Highly recommend her

Uses helpful examples that makes it easier to remember for the tests. Very enthusiastic about the subject. Exams are easy, gives hints throughout the lectures. Exams based on slides. HW and Discussion questions are quite tedious work. Overall LOVED her!

Excellent professor, but not a good class to start out with if you have just entered the CSU level. Her exams cam be difficult and her papers/essays on exams will be picked apart. She curves her exams unless someone scores close to the max score. Her lecture is interesting and she has a sense of humor. She can be strict, keep that in mind.

Spoke to fast, was friendly but very possessive of her students. Seemed to play favoritism, and if you do one small thing to tick her off she won't give you the "extra points" she says she will.
