Comment:
definitely the most difficult class I've taken at wash u. not an easy a, but definitely the most I have learned by FAR in a psych course. she is adorable and obviously very passionate about teaching. the averages on our tests were low B's - high C's, but you CAN do well if you go to class, pay attention, and do a bit of memorizing. def recommend.

Comment:
One of the sweetest professors I have had and definitely an expert in Dev Psych. That said, lectures are very fast paced (even hard to keep up with notes if typing on the computer) and you have to memorize a boatload of psych studies for the tests (# of participants, type of study, etc) which is time consuming. If you study a lot, you can do well.

Comment:
She is definitely a very nice person, and she is definitely passionate about what she is teaching, but she wasn't the best at conveying the information to everyone. She does tell a lot of good stories though that pertain to what we are learning, which kept class entertaining. Tests were very hard and a little unpredictable.

Comment:
Professor Hale is a lovely, lovely woman. Her impressions of little kids are so cute. Her big flaw is that she speeds through her slides and one can't copy down all of the information in time and the complete slides aren't online. At times, she puts up graphs with no labels and no explanation. Her tests are hard, but she is always helpful.

Comment:
Experimental Psych with Hale was honesty the worst class I have taken so far. She doesn't use PowerPoints with her lectures, and just speaks in a very haphazard way for the two hours of class. She seems to care about her students, but is impossible to follow and can't explain concepts in a succinct or clear manner.

Comment:
She is an incredible sweet woman and clearly is passionate about psychology. Absolutely wants her students to do well. The problem is, although she knows her stuff, she is not so great at communicating information to people who don't have the same experience she does. Sweet, smart woman, not the best teacher, but she really cares

The tests are more challenging than you might expect, but Prof. Hale is always available for questions and outside help. Papers for this class are a bit challenging as well.

The only thing that got me through the class was the TA. Hale's tests were hard but she curved so it turned out OK. Still, it was a frustrating class because she didn't communicate clearly what she wanted out of the papers and project.

Prof Hale is really understanding and fair. She cares more about her students doing well than designing tricky tests to limit the number of people who get As.

It is really difficult to follow her sometimes. I think she is very smart, but she has a hard time communicating ideas to her students. Also-all about Cognitive psychology..if you aren't interested in that field, take someone else.

She really limits what you can do for your final project. It's a good thing I had a very helpful and nice TA because no one knew what she wanted us to do or anything she tried to explain in that class.
