Comment:
References Denmark all the time even though we live in the United States so it is not relevant and just makes stuff confusing. Quizzes us twice a week on 50 pages of notes. Lectures are very long and boring and does not give you time to understand the material. If you want a shot of doing well in the class you must have great memorization skills.

I absolutely love her!!! I am a psych major and this was one of my favorite classes in the department! She was tough but made her lectures funny with comments here and there. There is a lot of reading with quizzes. But if you do the reading then the exams are easier too! I would love to take any class with in the future!

She is a great teacher, and I learned a lot. The class required so much reading that it was really hard to stay afloat. If you don't like tedious studying, she probably isn't the prof for you. That being said, she was extremely helpful outside of class.

Rambles on a lot of about pointless info, expects you to memorize the textbook readings. Lectures aren't very clear and they don't help for your success in the class. Make sure you read and memorize everything in every chapter if you want to do remotely well. You will have to teach yourself.

Prof. H-L is a good professor. She is funny, nice and very interested in social psych. She will help you if you ask for it, but don't expect to pass if you dont read the textbook. Studying for exams is basically memorizing terms, but if you put the time and effort in, it is easy to do well. Material is not hard to understand.

She is the best prof i've ever met at Dickinson. She is really strict but really helpful and kind. She's willing to help students in almost every aspect. Also, her teaching philosophy is really laudable. She not only teaches students theoretical knowledge which is necessary for beginners but also puts strong emphasis on 1st hand experience.

Comment:
Research, not teaching, seems to be her first priority. It took me a long time to declare my major because she never actually had her door open in office hours to sign the form. Also, I had her for a first year seminar and she tried to direct all our writing assignments to psychological standards, rather than improve writing skills in general.

Comment:
She is very funny, but her class, especially 201 is very hard. Some people have the gift, but if you don't, make sure you go to every class and read the book, and ask her questions when you dont understand something. the other kids in the class are usually pretentious and unwilling to help a straggler. she does help out those who put in effort

The class is very interesting and the topic is great, but this woman is the worst kind of task master. She grades very hard and gives a lot of big projects and papers due very close together. She's pretty fair when it comes to testing, but you really have to put a lot of effort in on projects.

Anyone with a work ethic will appreciate this professor. She makes you haul ass, but you end up appreciating either gaining more learning experience or developing one to begin with. She's ALWAYS helpful as long as you're willing to help yourself.
