Comment:
She is very MONOTONED , but actually has a good sense of humor lecture heavy and will talk about extra unnecessary information. your grade is basically review sheets that she goes over in class, open notes quizzes and four test with if you really study are easy to pass. Overall very caring and will go out her way to help students!

Comment:
Professor Gotch is good overall but she is probably not a great match for everyone. If you have a short attention span or are not good at taking notes then I wouldnt recommend her. She is lecture heavy and my biggest critique of her is that she jumps around from topic to topic a lot and often isnt clear on what she is referring to.

Comment:
This professor is honestly really good. She's very nice, though monotoned, but once you get passed that, she's pretty funny. She also does what she can to help you pass! The tests are based off of power points, but she goes into more detail during lecture, so try attending. Book not needed, overall I'd take psych with her again. Also EC on tests

Well I thought Pscyh would be intersting and exciting but wihtProf Mary it is so boring. Her lectures especially her slides were not enough! not enough explanations/definitions she just put the word on it and yes she could be very montone and boring! I mean what's up with her skirt she doesnt wear stocking to even cover her legs it's so distracting

Get ready to teach yourself everythinggggg. Lecture is all over the place, and she is very boring. Strict about phones in class and not paying attention. Her tests/quizzes and "reviews" are all over the place as well. Not enjoyable, not exciting and very very boring.

Professor Gotch is a great teacher. She has a couple quizzes throughout this class but they are open note/open book. She teaches from her powerpoints and if you aren't in class to take notes it may hurt you. Clear grading criteria. She explains the material so that it is easy to understand.

Professor Gotch is a gem. I always felt prepared for exams because she is thorough in her lectures, and doesn't waste time with info you don't need on tests. All you have to do is show up, pay attention and take notes and you'll do well. I will miss her sense of humor and wit. I highly recommend her!

Comment:
Just looking at the Power Points without the lecture won't help you because she fills in the necessary info in class. But if you show up, it's an easy A. I found Gotch a bit hard to follow in the beginning but once I got used to her speaking style, she was very funny and clear. It's not hard to see she cares about what she does & about the students

I loved Professor Gotch! Pay attention to her lectures and she will tell you things to know for the test. Very fair grader, she also offers extra credit on the tests. Open book and open note quizzes. Know the key terms for her tests and read the textbook

Good teacher, very clear on grading and test/quiz schedule. She's funny yet extremely monotone. You have 3 quizzes, open note and open book on both. There's 3 tests, about 70 questions each, with a short essay response, and extra credit. Also an in class assignment on drugs. 3 study guides, and an easy drug worksheet in class. Best teacher so far.

Very monotone, but besides that a very good teacher. There was only three test and the final is not accumulative. open note-book quizzes based on her lectures and the read. I only opened the book twice.

Professor Gotch is annoying at first with her monotone voice, but once you get past that, she is actually funny and very good. Her lectures are based on her PP slides but you have to be in class to fill in the details. She gives tons of extra credit opportunities and her exams are easy!! Didn't crack the book at all so don't bother getting it.

She's a pretty basic professor, I took her for psychology 1 and 2 and she taught them the same way. Her class consists of taking notes for lecture. Her open-book/note quizzes and tests are all based on those notes, i never bought the book for either class and passed with an A. I'd take her again.

I had 3 classes - Intro, bio psych, research methods; counseled me on courses I needed-I wasn't aware of AAT until she showed me online - she saved me from taking a lot of unnecessary classes. I thoroughly enjoyed her classes. Print power points & take notes there, read & summarize notes from book - Don't be absent and You will ace the class!

Very easy class if you show up every day and take good notes on her lectures. Likes going off topic but teaches you everything you need to know. Tests are easy if you do the study guides. Use her online power points when taking notes in class. Wants you to do good don't be afraid to ask her for help. interesting class.

Four tests, four review sheets and four quizzes. That is your grade. Gotch is pretty monotone, but she's also been teaching forever. The cool thing is, if you take good notes on her lectures, you should pass everything-- easy. I never cracked open the book, and I'm sitting at an A. That said, attend class. She is happy to help those who seek it.

Psychology of drugs and behavior was a super easy class with her but didn't learn much. Very very boring, monotone lectures and she everything at least 6 times. Never needed the book, everything is on the powerpoints online.

Stupid class. Lecture is all over the place. I took her for psych2 and expected her to have a great review like in psych 2 but her reviews for this class are hard to follow and not helpful. I do not recommend this class nor teacher. You dont even need a book, so dont waste your money
