Professor C was a nice lady but it's not an easy class. Your grade only relies on three exams so you have to do well on them. Overall, it was a very interesting class.

Comment:

Do yourself a favor and do not take this class. You are only graded on 3 tests so if you do poorly on one there is no helping your grade. You must attend every class because she won't post slides. Teaches like you're in kindergarten (tells you "highlight this line in book") but tests are difficult and she is super boring.

Comment:

Could have been a great class, but she made it practically unbearable. Very dry and tended to talk about things that werent even on the test. Doesnt post powerpoints and that is what the tests are on. Only graded on 3 tests. My least favorite class and worst grade this semester

4 tests, only graded by tests. She doesn't post lecture slides, so attendance is kinda mandatory. Shes kind of nuts, not in a bad way, shes just kinda cooky. Late to class more often than not. You dont have to read the textbook chapters but it helps a lot to read their summaries and look at the tables because she puts a lot of them in her slides.

Comment:

Shes very dry in lectures. Plays videos for content relating to class that were filmed in the 90s. Doesnt post her notes online, so you have to go to class, specially because her tests are about 85% on her notes. Its sad, its an interesting topic, but she teaches with no passion at all.

Comment:

Her teaching method is pretty dry and she doesn't assign any homework. You are only graded on 3 tests throughout the semester, so if you do poorly on one, then you will do poorly in the class. Not a lot of room for error and the information is heavy. I was interested in the material but its difficult to study it all.

Comment:

She's... alright. Very scattered and always sort of frazzled. Everything she teaches in the book, and she tells you exactly what to study for the tests. Your whole grade is 3 exams, and they're moderately difficult. If you go to class and do the readings, you'll be fine. The lectures are very boring even though it's interesting stuff. Overall, okay

Comment:

Most boring professor I have ever had. She takes 15 minutes to talk about one slide with one bullet point on it. You have to go to class to pass; she doesn't post any of her slides online and her test are mainly on her slides. Definitely would recommend taking the class with a different teacher.

Comment:

Does not post notes online in n fear of students not coming to class which makes It very difficult if you happen to miss notes or she is going too quickly. Little use of media, review sheets are often unclear and the test has questions that were not fully explained on review sheet

Comment:

This class is so incredibly boring. I am so disappointed that I had to finish off my senior year with this teacher and class. The topic is interesting, but the professor does nothing but lecture and read out of the book. She is not personable and if you do ask a question in class, she is truly condescending. She posts no notes online. Do not take!

Comment:

Easy class. No HW. Just 2 tests and 1 final (not cumulative). She gives a review sheet a week before the exam, and everything you have to know is on it all you have to do is show up to class and write down all her notes because she gives you the answers. Don't really need the txtbook but it's a good reference if you're confused about the notes.

Comment:

When I read the description for Childhood Behavioral Disorders, I was very intrigued as I have hopes of becoming a child psychologist. However, Prof. Christodulu made the information EXTREMELY dull. She was often unsure of how to play videos, and was just extremely monotone the whole time. Also, she ignored my emails all semester.

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had at SUNY Albany. All she does is lecture throughout the whole class, reading off of slides and out of the textbook. Extremely boring. If a student raises their hand to ask a question, she is nasty with them and telling them that they can ask their question after class at another time. She does NOT post notes online

Comment:

You HAVE to go to class in order to understand the material. She never posts the slides on BB. She gives 3 tests ONLY and if you do bad on one, it's downhill from there. Her test questions are confusing and she's not really clear on information. You basically have to teach yourself.

Gives 3 tests and a pretty good study guide. I dont know who makes up her tests but they are god awful always 50 questions and some questions are just absurd if you are really interested in childhood disorders take it. If you need a psy class take this with another professor save your time and money.

I really hated going to this class, her mind its all over the place, she only clarifies only if she feels like it, notes are not online and only 3 test. she has a study guide which helps a lot, the whole test is based on it but if you do bad on 1 test like I did no matter what you get on the others you won't get more than a B.

She's pretty easy. She gives out review sheets prior to the exams and the review sheet is basically the exam. So study the review sheet, attend class,take notes from the lecture's and your bound to pass the class.

Comment:

She's a pretty easy teacher. Her review sheet is pretty much the outline of the test. All you have to do is show up take notes and review the exam review sheet. Students who say she's a bad teacher are the ones who really don't even look at their notes. If you Review the notes then its a GPA booster. on Avg 6 people failed her class out of 100+

Unimaginably dull. I dropped this course in order to take it with any other professor. The longest, most boring hour of the day in an area that I generally find fascinating. Take the course, leave the professor.

Comment:

Attendance is not mandatory and the only part of your grade are the three exams. As long as you study the notes and some of the things she tells you to highlight in your book, the exams easy.
