Comment:

I took Dr. Lutwak for a group supervision course while attending grad school. She is one of the top clinicians I've encountered. She's brilliant, caring, and super relatable. In my 6 total years of college/grad school, I can't say that I can recall a class in which I've grown in more. Few teachers can touch your soul the way she can.

Comment:

Her bubbly, unique personality made me LOVE Abnormal Psych. She makes the class a lot of fun, and tries to get you to remember everyone's name. (In a room of 200+!) You definitely have to read, but she goes over EVERYTHING the day before an exam. Even the textbook. She used personal stories to help illustrate the topics. You watch two movies.

Prof. Lutwak is an awesome professor. If you have the opportunity to take her than i would recommend you do. She's an experience professor in the field and gives amazing lectures including real life experiences. She gives 3 exams which are mc and no final plus an extra credit paper.

I took her for Abnormal PSY. I'm a business student, but I'm taking too many PSY classes because I'm planning to change major for graduate school. Dr. Nita is the best professor I have ever had. I took her during fall 2014 and I always miss her . Don't miss that chance to attend her class, she is amazing!!!

Professor Lutwak is an amazing woman! She is funny, approachable, clear and just an inspirational teacher. We had 3 tests that were from the book, so you have to read the book closely. She went over as much as she could in the class. You should definitely take her class! She changed my life...

Professor Lutwak is the BEST professor I have ever had. Classes are fascinating and engaging. It is a large class but she makes an effort to include everyone. She is clear, helpful, and knowledgeable. Personal stories really bring the subject matter to life and makes it stick in your head. I wish every professor could be half as lovely as her.

One word: amazing. She knows how to engage the class by actual writing instead of some who just read off powerpoint slides in a monotonous voice. She's sweet and sympathizing. Not exactly easy A but you will learn a lot from such an inspirational and understanding teacher. Helpful and love questions. Great and lovable teacher!

She is simply perfect. Take her if you can and pay attention to her lecture and you will get A. She does not overload students with stupid things and learn nothing, she is helpful, clear and respectful. I hope I will have a chance to take her for more PSY classes.

Comment:

Great person, explains everything so well. Lectures are so interesting that sometimes you forget that you actually shouldn't be too laid back because you will be tested on that stuff. It's not a MUST but I recommend reading the textbook. Not an easy A, but possible since you will actually enjoy reading the textbook.

Love this class! There 3 non-cumulative exams and an extra credit paper. The lecture is fun and really interesting. You will learn a lot from her personal experience, your classmate's experience, and the movies/video she showed in class.

Amazing! Straight forward as can be. Atmosphere is inviting. Information thought is interesting and informative, guarantee you won't skip a lecture. Textbook is must, but the book assigned is a great read. 3 MC non-cumulative exams , NO final. Optional extra credit (most likely you'd be interested in doing it. Most certainly take her course!

I liked the atmosphere. She's relaxed, experienced and encourages participation. The lecture hall seemed like a small class. 3 exams, 1 optional paper. I should have studied harder - enjoyed the class.

Comment:

Pretty straight forward professor. She is very calm, laid back and approachable. Gives 3 MC non-cumulative exams. There is no final just the 3rd non-cumilitve exam. gives extra credit. Without book you wont get a good grade, Her lessons are somewhat general and only capture very little to what would be on the test. Also watch movies.

I loved this class, especially after accounting! It's a lecture, but she involves the class and makes the material interesting. I like her better in a smaller class - but Dr. Lutwak is always worth it.

I found this class to be really dull. I learned more from the book than the prof. She always came in 10 min. late, & spent 20 more minutes trying to turn on the projector. She´s really nice and funny, but she´s not on the top of my list of fav professors.

Nice class and very enjoyable. However, dont be so laid back because you have to put work in. The exams can be tricky so just pay attention and take good notes. ATTEND all the lectures because sometimes questions on the exams come from her lectures. 3 exams each with equal weight and an extra credit paper. Not going to say it easy but work for an A

All i can say is TAKE HER!!!. Truly loving person, and very knowledgeable. She knows her stuff. 3 easy non-cumulative exams that require only memorization of definitions with a very accurate review sheet. Extra credit assignment is also available. Easy A!!
