Comment:

I took Psych 101 with her and I took a class with her again because all tests are online open note open book. Take this is you need an easy A, and don't mind sitting through boring classes that don't make full sense to get it. There is a huge lack of organization on her part as well. But I got an A both classes, but was annoyed the entire time.

Comment:

Her tests are made herself so they are based on things that she thinks, it rarely correlates with the book which we never use.I tried learning from the book but it never goes with her lecture or tests. I wouldn't take her class again.

Comment:

Don't take her classes! Everything is biased and opinion based. I didn't learn anything. Everything was basically memorizing her silly examples and stories. Not to mention the tests are all based on her opinions.

Comment:

Lori seems to be a really great person, but if you actually need to know psychology, don't take her class. She didn't cover even half of the textbook in the entire semester. The test questions were based quite a bit on her own opinions and in class discussion, so show up if you do have her, and maybe take notes of her opinions.

Comment:

This teacher is whack she said attendance was mandatory yet cancelled class a lot we spent most of the time watching videos that had nothing to do with the class and all she talked about was herself and kids and disagreed with a lot of subjects never made any study guides exams were on things she never taught and she wonders why no was serious.

Lori makes it a priority to make this class super easy. She's unorganized and not really clear on assignments, but somehow you learn a lot in this class and pass really easily.

Comment:

I didn't mind her at all, yeah shes a little unorganized, and you probably wont really learn anything, but she makes this class so EASY and shes really lenient with homework assignments. just show up to class and youll get an A its that easy. I liked her a lot.

If you want an easy A, take her class. Everything is open-notes. If you want to learn, don't take her. Attendance IS HIGHLY MANDATORY. Don't even bother buying the textbook.

All I have to say is, Lori's class is very easy. She is very kind and helpful. She is crystal clear on what she expects out of you and what is on the tests. Great debates in the class and she makes it fun to be there.

Comment:

This teacher is by far the worst teacher I have ever had. A lot of wasted time and lack of organization regarding hmwk assignments. The only time she actually taught class was when she was being evaluated. If you want to learn....Do not take her!!!

Comment:

When I tell my teachers about her, they can't believe she even still teaches. That about sums it up for you. I challenge JJC to sit through her class, then give anyone who had her a refund for the loss of education for an entire semester.

Comment:

I would never recommend taking this class. We did an 8 week course and because of lack of organization the last 4 days we have 3 tests and 2 papers due. We were asked to write a paper on physical punishment and the outcome but if we wrote anything positive or the positive effect it could have we would automatically fail. I do not recommend her

See this teacher and RUN! Don't think you'll learn anything about psychology. She only tells you her opinions about whatever she feels like talking about that day. After 16 weeks, I couldn't name one psychology theory. Seriously, RUN!
