Comment:

At first she may seem very difficult but as long as you do the connect activities and study the night before you will do fine. Her lectures definitely help and she gives good real life examples on many things.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE if you are a BAD TEST TAKER. You have 3 excruciating tests, 10 little quizzes, and the research paper. No other homework, so if you do poorly on the tests, you're going to have a hard time. She "lectures" us for 30 minutes and then says she's done. Can't keep a train of thought to save her life. My class has barely learned anything.

Easily the worst teacher I have ever had. I wouldn't take her class again if she paid me.

Comment:

Take this class if you want to fail!! She's a cool lady, but makes the class way harder than it needs to be. Only 4 exams make up your grade, and the Connect assignments have nothing to do with the material on the exams. Definitely not easy, be ready to put hours and hours into studying just to get maybe a D.

Comment:

The entire class is graded based on quizzes and tests, if you're not a good test taker, YOU WILL NOT PASS. The lectures don't make sense, she doesn't post on canvas so you won't know your grade. I have never worried about passing a class until this one. If you can avoid taking her, do it, don't give yourself the anxiety.

Professor Anderson is passionate in what she teaches. However, she is not good when it comes to instruction. Organization is horrible.

Despite the ratings I had this professor for 3 classes . She is a fair professor . Reading of the book is required. She takes her time to explain things.

Had her for research methods after this class, that class was harder than this one. You must take this class! She is more fun and relaxed than the research class. No textbooks required The whole grade is dependent on one lecture you give about anything related to sex. You must prepare for your speech and give a good presentation. No tests!Funclass

This was an 8am class so if you are not a morning person don't take it. You will study about 4 or 5 hours a week or you will not pass, must show up for every class, she gives quizzes before every class on reading assignments, you want to get good grades on the quizzes because her tests are hard, but I learned much about research and the labwaseasy

She definitely knows her stuff and it shows in her lectures. I fell asleep a few times (only because I took her early 3 hour class block) but taking this course with her as a freshman re-taught me how to take notes. My recommendation, re-type your notes in a format that's easy to read because the homework takes a toll on you. Not way hard, but long

Comment:

Pretty easy class. There are only 4 tests, no quizzes, no final. The research requirement is easy and other than that the only assignment are the connects which are due the day of each test, and they help you study. Just study for her exams a day or two before and it's an easy A. Also take good notes an GO TO CLASS even though it's not mandatory.

Comment:

Overall, Dr. Andersen was completely awesome, and I would take another class of hers in a heartbeat. However, the only grades she gave for general psych were tests, connect homework, and a research requirement. The latter 2 were really easy, but the tests really required a lot of studying.

Comment:

Her lectures consist of her reading from her notes, she has poor communication skills. You can ask her a question and she will not understand it and just repeat what she said over and over. Her test questions are hard because they make no sense to anyone but her. She can't teach and she doesn't get it.

Comment:

I took Human Sexuality with her my sophomore year, and although it was extremely difficult due to her grading and testing style, I thought her classes were really interesting. She uses a lot of videos, but also incorporates guest lecturers. Be prepared for difficult grading but also be ready to learn a LOT.

Comment:

She is very passionate about teaching this class, and expresses that her sole purpose is to help you learn, pass and enjoy the class. She canceled a bunch of classes during my semester with her, but was very fair to when assignments were due. She keeps class very interesting and I highly recommend her as a professor and this course as a gen ed.

Comment:

I took her class only on Monday and I thought her class was absolutely awful. I do not recommend her. She makes you do connect assignments online to "prepare" you for the test. The questions are nothing like her test. I love psychology and have taken several psychology classes and got an A but this class was terrible!

I am also surprised by her grade. She is great. I took her twice and didn't pass the second class but it wasn't due to her; it was my being unhappy with the material. I still respect her immensely.

Its a pretty easy class even if you don't show up for lectures. Only homework is the read and do an easy online assignment once a week. She makes her lectures very interesting and loves to use sex jokes. Also probably the hottest teacher at fgcu

She makes lectures really interesting. She does tell you upfront that if you don't do the connect assignments, read the chapter, or attend class, you will fail. She does make lectures really funny and makes them worthwhile. Her tests aren't that hard if you study over your notes, handouts, and book chapter. She puts a lot into class.

Comment:

I actually don't understand why she has such a mediocre score on here. She keeps class interesting with funny stories and walks around with no shoes on almost every class. Read the book and you'll do fine. But if you don't go to class don't expect an "A." Make sure you take good notes and study hard for her tests and you should pass with "B" or up
