Comment:

I cannot disagree more with Professor Sally's worldview and politics, but she's a great professor and a good person. She respects her student. Very caring. Informal style of teaching, interactive lectures. Material is mostly rote memorization; if you spend time with the textbook you'll get an A. Frequent opportunities for extra credit.

Sally is a tough, dont get me wrong, but in my opinion she is fair and worth every minute of my time. She gets straight to the point and cares about her students success. As long as you show her respect, I believe you will get a lot out of this class.

Comment:

Most amazing professor Ive ever had at moorpark. Incredibly supportive, so sweet, and shes really only tough on people who dont care about the class. If you show you care and you put the work in, shell give you the grade you deserve.

A fun and genuinely educational class to sit in for lectures. A textbook isn't necessary for this class, but if you skip it expect to study a little harder than usual for her tests, as not everything on the test is covered in her lectures.

Tests are very hard, pop quiz basically every day, very funny and nice unless you don't do all the work all the time then she won't like you, only college prof I've ever had that docs points for missing pencil, paper, textbook etc. high school things, group activities, most people have to retake it's so hard

Comment:

Just took her for MO2H, couldn't be more pleased. If you are majoring in Psych, she would be my go-to for MO2 because her tests are very comprehensive. Other Moorpark professor tests are just not up to her level. Although her lectures seem to jump around, the overall goal of each "unit" does connect with each lecture.

As pretentious as it gets. spends the whole class talking about herself and acting like she's the most amazing professor. gets side tracked really easily. i would not recommend taking her, she's impossible to please

Sally is the best! Her lectures are well thought out and informative, yet she adds humor to the lectures. She keeps you interested in class. She doesn't allow phones but her tests are easy as long as you study. I recommend this class to everyone even if you're not a psych major!!!

Comment:

Sally is one of my favorite professors. She truly cares about her students, which is reflected in her teaching. If you take her class seriously, she will take you seriously. She can be tough, but if you pay attention and take good notes, you'll do fine. She provides several extra credit opportunities from the first day.

Comment:

This teacher is very opinionated. She has very democratic political views that are integrated into everything (as someone with rather neutral views, I was uncomfortable). She makes everyone sit through the entire test taking time, which may or may not cause anxiety for some students (it did for me).

Comment:

Sally is hilarious but can be offensive. She is strict and expects you to be specifc in your answers. She also gives extra credit and sometimes has partner tests. There is little homework, but if late is either half credit or not accepted.

Comment:

Sally is a very nice person, however she always seems to make the point that she is the alpha. Her way or the highway. Take good notes, anything that seems random will most likely be on the test. Also, sometimes it was hard to learn due to being distracted by this amazingly obnoxious girl who just adored the sound of her own voice. Okay class

Sally is such a great professor ! You really need to work for the good grade, as it should be. Go to her office hours for help if you need it! trust me it will help you on the long run. WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. I loved the course and would def take her again for another class :)

Comment:

Sally is not your typical professor. Neuroscience is a tough class, but if you really study and ask for help you will do good. Her lectures are all over the place because she goes off topic. Also make sure you write down everything she says because it will be on the exam!

She is the most caring, sweet teacher I've ever had in my life. She cares so much about her students, and is so passionate about her job. She is everything I love in a professor. Take her human sexuality class if you can. It will change you for the better.

Most amazing professor I have ever had. If you work with her and actually study for her classes, you will not have any problems. The instructions she gives for projects and tests are very clear, but most people don't bother to read them or ask for help. Study and do the extra credit and you will have a great time in her classes.

Comment:

I love Sally! I learned so much from this class. She makes everyone feel so comfortable about the subject and encourages any questions (she always says there are no stupid questions). The tests are a little weird though since they the answers aren't from the book they are from the things she says in class. Everyone take her Human Sexuality class!
