Comment:

By far the funniest & most entertaining prof I've had! She loves her job and wants everyone to pass, and you will! As long as you show up to class (in which there are random extra credit 'pop quizzes'), read, and pay attention! Especially during in class projects and demonstrations! But DO NOT SHOW UP LATE, you will be locked out!

Comment:

Great Teacher! She knows what she is talking about which makes lectures easier to get through. Tests are pretty easy If you put in the bare minimum. She gives out extra credit "pop quizzes" randomly in some classes which makes showing up to class beneficial. Assignments are not that hard and she cancels class to make up for time spent on them.

Comment:

Dr. Seibert is entertaining and respected by a lot of her students. The only policy I didn't like was her mandatory "you can't leave once you're in class, and if you do, you're gone for the day". Not fun to deal with especially since she calls out students who are late, or who choose to leave in front of everyone and embarrasses them. Childish.

I took this as a 3 week course in 2016. Even though there is a lot of information to cover, it wasn't super overwhelming. Her book of notes was extremely helpful because I didn't have to write down the slides and just write down things when she discusses in-depth.

One of the best teachers Ive had. Her lectures are interesting, not boring. She is super funny and really makes the information relatable. She gives you so many chances to get extra credit and get a good grade. She definitely cares about you understanding the material and you can tell she loves what she does. Just dont ever be late!

Dr. Seibert is an amazing teacher! She is an avid storyteller and extremely funny. She clearly loves her job and encourages students to take interest in psychology. Though you do not need to attend every class to pass, I definitely would recommend regular attendance for a possible grade boost!

Pennie was a wonderful professor. Made lectures interesting with decent student interaction and activities/displays that made content enjoyable and easier to learn for people of many different learning styles. She worked extensively with my extenuating court issues and always accommodated and was understanding. Minimal assignments and good lectures

Love Pennie! She is hilarious and makes lectures interesting and is also a genius so she knows her stuff! Class isn't mandatory but 50% of her test material comes from class examples so GO. Class only has a total of 165 points so every assignment is vital to a good grade. Only complaint is tests are tricky and difficult to study for.

Comment:

shes a really funny professor but had a crude sense of humor so she is an acquired taste for some. If you follow the syllabus on how to do the assignments then youll get full points but if you get one little thing wrong then you will get a 0. Her tests are also very tricky. Overall, if you can get a better professor, do it. If you cant, study.

Lectures are a must, but if you need to skip one or two it is not the end of the world. She is very old school such as if you aren't on time you can't come in and no late work period. She is very clear cut on her expectations and all assignments are explained in the syllabus. Awesome professor and makes lectures enjoyable. Would recommend!

Overall a good experience, she doesn't rely on blackboard and it is really refreshing. If you go to class you will pass, but you have to be there. Tests are based off of in class discussion and out of class assignments, not just material she goes over.

Pennie is hilarious. She is extremely organized and everything for the semester is laid out in the syllabus. Most of the assignments are all or no credit. She offers extra credit randomly if you attend class. Attendance is not required but very much recommended. If you go to class you will get an A. Don't be late and BUY HER BOOK OF NOTES!!!

You really need to study and attend class to do well on tests. Many tests have in-class videos on them, so be present. Also, don't ever be late. She won't let you in.

Comment:

Aside from Pennie being crude, she's hilarious. But she's a horrible teacher. She shows up, reads her lecture slides, and that's it. Her TA's do everything for her and it's almost impossible to ever know your correct grade. But, it's an easy class if you do all the work and don't skip a bunch. She puts a lot of in class stuff on tests. Is a hardass
