Comment:

Professor Delman is amazing. PSYCH 1 was understandable, fun, interesting. Easy A. Plenty of extra-credit opportunities. If you do the homework, study for exams even though cheat sheets can be used but N/A for quizzes, show up to class, and take notes, you will pass. Notes are posted so easy accessibility. Overall, a great person. Take her class!

Comment:

Abby was probably one of the best psych professors I've ever had. She is super funny and really encourages you to learn. The tests are open notes. The movie analysis is probably the most difficult part of the class, but she has office hours where you can ask her questions. She always has snacks and gives them out during heavy lecture days

Comment:

One of the most caring professors hands down. She'll work with and around your schedule if needed. Annoying little vocal quizzes almost every session but are easy to pass. Exams come with one page of typed notes so it's hard to fail really. Easy extra credit opportunity. Really great person.

Comment:

Professor Abby is extremely nice and kindhearted. She cares a lot for her students and tries and is always accessible on her "student hours." There are about 13 quizzes (very easy if you study, takes the highest 10 quizzes, and are matching vocab) 5 exams ( moderate), research essay (she is very strict on it) & extra credit. Easy class with effort

Shes honestly an easy A. Dont take her if you want to learn. Homework is gone over before turning it in. 10 vocabulary quizzes where you easily match answers: study guide is word for word with the quiz. The tests are based off the powerpoint and you get a cheatsheet. You don't even need the book. Some people dont even show up to class and get As

Really nice lady, and is pretty funny too. There are vocab quizzes almost every class, so make sure to study for those. If you don't study for the vocab quizzes you might not end up liking your final grade in the class. Tests are not hard, but make sure you know the material.

Delman is amazing. She cares a lot for her students, and really aims for them to pass. She's known for coddling them step by step, but really, it's for better, and you do learn a lot from her. One thing though, is that you need to study the textbook chapters on your own for the test, profusely. They can be tricky. Lets you have exam note sheets :)

Professor Delman really knows her stuff. If you don't do well on tests, make sure to do well on Vocab quizzes and it will save your grade. it's a simple 10 question fill in word to definition vocab quiz.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Very knowledgeable, organized, and patient. She makes sure you get the information and doesn't mind when you have question. I would absolutely take her again if I could. One of my favorite classes last semester. Always keeps the class engaged.

Professor Delman is truly one of the best professors at PCC. She has a lot of office hours, and is always happy to help. One biopsychology analysis paper, but if you follow the instructions and have her read it over you will do well. Do not skip class! If you have the chance to take this professor, go for it!

Professor Delman has been one of my favorite professors at PCC. If you put in the work, attend class, and follow her syllabus YOU WILL PASS THIS CLASS. I guarantee the others that have posted on this thread with negative comments have put minimal effort into the class. She allows a cheat sheet on each exam, drops 1 exam grade & 4 quiz grades.

Comment:

She's a really caring and understanding professor. She drops the 4 lowest quiz grades and lowest test score. She gives you a clear syllabus of what you're doing each day and the whole point structure. She is a little boring, but will try to make it interesting so I appreciate that. There is a final paper.

Comment:

Prof Delman was awesome. Very easy class, you earn your grade. Vocal quizzes almost every class meet, but very simple. Lecture is based on powerpoint but I recommend paying attention more on what she says because it will be on the test. One major research paper, but you have almost all semester to complete it. She defiantly cares for her students.

Professor Delman is amazing! She really cares about her students and makes it so easy to pass, as long as you show up and do the work. There are vocabulary quizzes every week, but they come straight from the textbook. She gives optional assignments for extra credit. Delman's lectures are very thorough. Her tests are based off of the hw. Take her!

Comment:

Professor Delman is great and makes a tough subject (Biological Psych) accessible. She keeps me awake at 7am and gives points from lots of different areas (including a paper which is 1/4 of your grade).In my opinion the class would be boring and slow over a regular semester so take in Summer if you don't mind working hard! Quizzes every day.

Comment:

She would make us read the chapters as hw, give us the quizzes on that chapter & then teach us the chapter afterwards. I felt there was no point in taking this class if Im basically teaching myself by reading the chapters while all shes doing is showing us slides that we have access 2 view at home(definition on quizzes would be different than book)
