Comment:

Dr. Nadien is a good and caring professor. You feel close to her even if you've only exchanged one word in your whole experience with her. Downsides are she speaks very slowly and is, well, very boring. It's very hard to keep attention in class, and she over-explains things. I wouldn't recommend for the boring factor, but she's nice.

Comment:

The tests are meant to trick you and are not reflective of your knowledge at all. Not helpful that she assigns the paper on a somewhat confusing topic before actually covering the topic in class. I was really looking forward to the class but regret it now. Ruining my GPA and my interest in psych of personality.

She's so sweet and helpful! She talks slowly, so some people find it hard to pay attention, which is why people don't do well. Her class can be a drag, but it is interesting nonetheless.

I took her classes awhile ago, so maybe things have changed, but i found her classes pretty interesting. She was one of my favorite professors who I remember fondly.

Comment:

Do not take this professor if you can avoid it. She takes atleast twenty minutes to take attendance,then she takes half an hour to set up her terrible powerpoint presentation. Her tests don't test on anything important and her essays are graded extremely harsh. For example I had two grammar errors and she wrote great paper but I got a b+. Terrible.

Comment:

Wow. She spends about 20mins setting up the powerpoint and taking attendance. Do not pay any attention to her lecture, she pulls the test questions from the book. Study the book. Attendance matters, but most people leave after she is done taking attendance. This class should be fairly easy, though the essays are sometimes graded unfairly.

Comment:

This is not a difficult class. All you have to do to get an A in this class is to completely ignore her power points (I watched movies during class) and then read/outline the chapters before each of the 3 tests. I got 98s on all of the tests by using this method. There are also 2 papers and an easy lab component which should boost your grade.

Comment:

She is a very cute old woman but aside from that she can't teach. No doubt she's smart but this generation of schooling and technology is a bit beyond her and it shows in class. It takes half an hour to do attendance. It's a waste of time.

Comment:

Sweet lady, I will give you that, but boring lectures. SHe goes on and on... Workload isnt too heavy. A total of 3 tests(final included in that 2) and one paper. The tests are all MC but pretty tricky. You got to know your material really well. Overall, shes a ok prof. Not too bad but nothing too special either.

She's a bit boring sometimes but the class is generally interesting and she's a very fair grader (if more than half the class gets an answer wrong u get the points) you just have to have working brain cells

Comment:

She is a nice woman, but despite this appearence she is a harsh grader who refuses to believe the root of the problem lies within her unbelievably boring lectures and ridiculous tests. Even after writing for the three full hours given, she cites you need to write more on your exam.

average killer. Dont be fooled by this nice lady, she is extremely uncaring about her student's grades. makes exams extremely tricky, and she even though the majority of the students fail she refuses to realize that there is a big flaw in her teaching.

Tests were ridiculously hard and she refuses to believe there may something wrong with them, and instead thinks the students aren't working hard enough. She's nice, but not worth the murder of your GPA.

Comment:

slowest and most boring lecturer ever. make sure you use the textbooks' online sites to get some of the questions before the tests. she only learns the name of a few students in class and DOES grade on class participation, so you have to make a comment every so often if you want a good grade.

Comment:

If you study the textbook you'll do well on the tests because all the questions are from that. Most of the work comes from the weekly lab assigments.
