Comment:

Tracie did a nice job of making this class manageable and interesting even though it was online vs in-class. The exams were a bit tough, but she always curved the grades upward if certain questions had poor statistics. There is a 12-15 page paper and a group project, but they are easy if you work on them throughout the semester.

Comment:

Dr. B is very passionate about psychology which is evident through her lectures. Veers off on tangents sometimes, albeit they're quite interesting. Likes to show videos, which adds to course material comprehension. Term paper, and cumulative exams which require proper studying and prep. Great professor and fun class, learned a lot.

I 10/10 recommend taking any class by Dr. B! She knows so much and is so passionate about psychology which makes class very interesting and enjoyable. She tends to get off topic, but is always clear on what she expects on exams and papers and is hilarious! I've taken multiple classes with her and she is great!!

Dr. Blumentritt is hilarious, passionate and knowledgeable about her field, and caring and willing to help. Her lectures are a bit scattered, but she gets the main points across. Exams are standard, 30 MC questions and two short few paragraph questions. One bigger group project and a research paper but she's REALLY helpful and an easy grader too.

Comment:

The only way you're going to do well on tests is by reading the book. Lectures are valuable except for when preparing for the exams and lack content. Questions come from pages she doesn't specify; tests hard but she drops one. You'll see why once you take them, but as a future teacher I don't see the point in that, I'd just them more appropriate.

I've taken pretty much every class she teaches. You can tell she loves psychology and is passionate about teaching it. You do have to study and read textbook, and requires a term paper, but workload is managable if u keep up. TAKE A CLASS WITH HER!

Tracie is a super nice lady. A bit scatterbrained at points, but you can tell she's passionate. Her stories are funny and she's easy to listen to. However, know that her exams ARE difficult. You can't skim the material and expect to pass.

There was no prerequisite for a bio class, but being a student who hadn't had bio since high school made it very difficult for the first half of the course. Material is clear but adds topics we never discussed in class to the exams.

Horrible with technology so sometimes she can't get certain parts of a powerpoint to show so she skips it and tells you to make sure you know it for the test. Attendance for her unit is not mandatory as long as you read and take notes from the modules

Blumentritt is an amazing professor! I learned a lot about how to work with students/young people. She does tend to go on little tangents, but the information relevant to it really sticks with you because of it. I highly recommend her, whether you need the class or not.

One of my favorite professors ever! Keeps lecture interesting with stories and examples. She is very quirky and funny! Lecture is off an outline, but if you study that and do the readings you will do well! More than willing to meet/help in office hours. You can tell she has a passion for education and cares about her students! Take her!!

She has a really in depth knowledge of her part of the class, but she is over-enthusiastic. Nice lady, but the note taking is all off of outlines and really dry. I found it hard to pay attention most of the time due to her over-excitement.
