Comment:
Take this class by itself or with one other class only. It is time-consuming, you'll be writing papers for each chapter of the book and responding to questions related to videos. There are always two papers due the same day together with discussion forums (1 post and 2 responses to classmates).

Comment:
The number of papers that need to be written for this class is pointless and ridiculous. Good luck if you learn anything after cramming 13 chapters in a semester. She'll have you read and re-write the whole book without really discussing it. You also have to watch several videos per week and write essays on that too. So boring.

you MUST do volunteer work and whatever you did in the past does not count. Don't take this class.

Do not take this class unless you must. Content heavy, lots of papers to write (from 15 to 20 pages every week)

Avoid this course if you can. She'll have you paraphrasing the chapters of the book each week. Save yourself some time, buy the book, read it yourself if you are interested in the content.

Get ready to paraphrase a whole book and turn in papers every weekend. There are always two papers due the same day together with a discussion forum: You have to post a discussion and answer to two other classmates. This is a heavy class because of the workload. Get ready to write from 15 to 20 pages. If it not a requirement, don't take it

Comment:
Be prepared to do two different assignments that are due the same day. They are time-consuming and excessive. She is understanding though, you just need to talk to her if you miss assignments, she will let you do them. If you have a full-time job, young children and plan on taking full-time courses, I advise you to take this class and one other.

Comment:
Very bad professor. Does not respond to emails, if she does it's two weeks later. Voluntary work HAS to be done to complete a project that is graded later on. Did volunteer work before? doesn't count. The material is boring and too technical that she wants you to explain in a 15-page paper due every week. There are also videos to write essays for.

Great class! Professor Cassarà teaches her students to critically think about the material being presented and has made me a better psychology student. Also, thanks to her, I have a better idea of where I'm going in the field of psychology.

Dr. Cassara is tough but fair. Read the textbook and other handouts. Actually do the relaxation exercises, one, they help and two, if psych is your major it's a good tool for the future. Tests are easy as long as you keep up with the class. Very understanding with any needed accommodations. Awesome class, awesome teacher. =]

She is one of the best psychology professors I ever had. Her work is not hard, it's time consuming. If you do the work and show up to class you should not have a problem. She's awesome!

I really learned a lot in this group dynamics class. The professor made the class easy going and interesting. She is very easy to understand. She is such a caring person & always helpful. The hw comes from the text book. This class was pretty easy. Do your chapter questions (about 7-9 ea) & come to class everyday; you will pass this class for sure.

Dr. Cassara is a great professor. She definitely knows her material and she made the class interesting. She's also very honest which I appreciate. She assigns a lot of homework but it's to help you learn. There's no midterm or final.

She will give you a good grade if you put some effort into your work. Being there is important as is participation in her class projects (I had her for another class too) This class was a Home Studies so we had a different project. It was easy for me.

I didn't like that the coures was based on texbooks concepts. Reformulate the concept's definitions were VERY boring homeworks. I think she is too compliant with attendances. I had a BAD experience with the group project.
