Comment:

Sweet lady, has a very relaxing voice, and knows her stuff. Gives extra credit but makes reviews for 50 question tests 10 pages long. Tells you you'll do good if you take GOOD DETAILED notes, meaning you have to remember every word she says. Makes the course way harder than it needs to be.

FAVORITE TEACHER! Such a sweet lady. Attendance isn't mandatory but you get extra credit. Also optional extra credit papers throughout the semester. 4 tests and a final. Study guides are long, yeah, but are super necessary to study if you want to pass!! Take good notes and try to attend as many classes as you can and youll be fine

I took Professor Ogletree my first semester at txst and I loved her (i took human sexuality). Shes got great insight on the subjects you go over & is always throwing extra credit opportunities your way. I do recommend taking good notes in her class because sometimes the specific examples she gives are on the test. Shes so awesome, 10/10 recommend

Comment:

Her class isn't easy, but she does give a lot of extra credit. If you don't go to class you will struggle because she gives majority of the notes in lecture. Her review guides are not worth doing because they are far too long to complete. Take good class notes and pay attention in class and you will pass.

She was an absolute nightmare. Dont fall for the fake positive reviews because this class took everything out of me and I still struggled significantly. This was the hardest psychology class I have ever taken at txstate AND IM A PSYCH MAJOR WHO IS ABOUT TO GRADUATE

Comment:

She is nice and has alot of extra credit. But her exams are unnecessarily hard because her study guides have far too much information to study. Make sure you understand her material in class, or you will use up 3-5 days just to complete her study guide. Definitely will not pass her class higher than a "D" studying a night or two before the exams.

I took her for my lifespan development lass bess because I took her for my human sexuality class and it was fairly simple. I don't know if she decided to switch it up this semester or what but her lectures are extremely long and the tests look like none of the material. It is all very confusing. The review that she sends out is damn near 25 pages

Way too hard of a class. She makes her exams specifically to fool you. Prepare to do lots of studying outside of her class because her test questions have NOTHING to do with the incredibly dry lectures. Beware.

I love her! She is a sweet lady and is very knowledgeable about this class. She gives TONS of extra credit and her tests are not hard at all if you just study even a little bit. Attendance is not mandatory, but she gives extra credit for it and the lectures are interesting as well. This was an easy A for me. I would recommend for an easy elective

Comment:

Professor Ogletree is a knowledgeable teacher, although I would classify myself under the category of those who did not fancy her teaching style. Her classes are lecture heavy and there is a lot of information to retain, especially biological information. I wouldn't take her again.

Great professor, one of my favorites. She is very sweet and knowledgeable. Those who complained in her class weren't really paying attention. Take notes over lecture, read your book you will be fine. Study for exams. She's really the best.

I absolutely loved her. Very dry sense of humors that is evident in her lectures. This is a difficult class, it's junior level but I took it as a freshman and I did fine. You get what you are willing to put into this class. Tests contain lecture stuff as well as textbook.

She's an awesome professor, very open minded, and really knows her stuff Attendance isn't mandatory, but recommended. She gives extra credit if you miss 3 classes or less and offers plenty of other opportunities to get extra points throughout the semester. There isn't any homework, but there are 4 tests that she gives study guides with the answers

She truly is an amazing woman. With her personal experiences tied into the class, it really shows how passionate she is about Lifespan and Development. She offers large quantities of extra credit that I highly recommend you doing because her tests are rather difficult. Quizlets offer good study material for the exams. Take the optional exam!!!

she gives curves in the tests, but her tests are tricky. She gives a lot of extra credit. Make sure to read the book it helps more than her power points.

Ogletree is awesome. Tons of extra credit opportunities and extra credit for attendance. Curves EVERY exam. Lectures involve lots of class discussion. She is so sweet and tries to remember names when possible. You will have to read the textbook. Only grades are 3 exams, final, and easy online quizzes through mindtap (answers on Quizlet)

I took Professor O for PSY3300 and loved it. She is a super sweet lady and really makes sure her students succeed. There are tons of super easy extra credit opportunities in the form of 250 word "essays" and quick online homework that makes sure you get a 100 each time. I went to class, put in the work and got what I would consider an easy A.

Dr. O is such a sweet lady and her class is very easy to do well in. Her class tends to drag on but she offers SO much extra credit and her tests are easy enough. Show up because she gives points for attendance and tons of points for small essays that you can submit. Her homework is online and she is super laid back for what she wants.

Her class is lecture heavy and her exams do make up most of the grade; however, she offers SO much extra credit. You can get extra points for attending class and for writing short papers. She even offers 10 extra points for writing an essay. The homework is easy as well. If you put in effort and take VERY detailed notes, you should do well!
