Comment:

By far my FAVORITE professor this semester! The class is a lot of reading for sure (you really have to read the textbook or you'll do bad on the tests), but she posts the notes online & has review days before the tests. She really genuinely cares about her students & wants to see them succeed. Only bad thing is your grade is determined by 4 tests.

Comment:

Dr. Taylor is my favorite professor by far!! The class only has 4 grades, which are 4 exams (and no final exam). She always tells you what exactly to expect on each exam. Also, she often curves her exam grades. She's very sweet and approachable, and her lectures are VERY interesting with examples and videos of topics, going beyond the ppt slides!!

10/10 would take her again. She makes lectures interesting and test questions are straightforward. Study all of the lecture notes, skim the reading and you'll be good for exams. Sometimes adds a curve to tests. Make sure you get on the research credit component early on or you'll have to take quizzes at the end of the semester to make it up.

She is my all time favorite professor. She clearly communicates everything you need to know on exams in class. She will go over every single piece of content covered on the exam in her lectures. Make sure you go to class and listen to these lectures. The course is interesting as well so the class is really enjoyable to go to.

All lecture slides posted online. Go to class bc she gives reviews and it is almost essential for success. READ THE BOOK. lot on the test is taken from there. Awesome professor and is caring. Study lecture slides, review, and vocab in book and you should be good. not too hard to get an A if you study

Comment:

She is excellent, and posts all the PPT slides at the beginning of the semester. In order to perform well, just memorize the vocabulary from the lectures and modules in the book. She also typically has an in class review before each exam where she emphasizes the most important material. Final is not cumulative, which is helpful!

Comment:

Dr. Taylor is very sweet and good at teaching Psych. She makes sure students understand the material before the test. She is very willing to help with anything. You need to read the textbook because a lot of the information for the tests come from the vocal and readings in the book. If you know the study guide she gives you, you should be fine.

She is a very nice teacher anytime I needed help she always welcome me with open arms in her office hours I must say its not hard but you have to study and know the material she does reviews before every test. Make sure you read the book because thats Was my downfall she gave us material we needed for the test but pulls 5-10 questions from book

Dr. Taylor is fantastic! Loves teaching psych & wants her students to succeed. Always clear about what info will be on the test & what info won't. All I did was listen in class (her lectures are interesting & usually end early), skim her powerpoints, and skim the textbook chapters & I got an A in the class. Make sure you know all of the vocab!

Comment:

Dr. Taylor is one of the most straightforward professors Ive ever had - her lectures are super informative but usually end early and she tells you exactly what you need to know for the test. If you study and memorize the vocab words from the chapters in the book this class isnt bad at all.

Hardest class I took this semester. Shes puts things on the test that you dont learn in class and expects you to know everything in the book. The chapters are 40 pages long and are usually 3-4 chapters on each test.

Dr. Taylor is one of the most caring professors, really wants you to succeed in the class by meeting with you to discuss tests and how to study better/more efficiently, as well as really understand psychology. Test performance is incredibly important, tests are 95% of your final grade.

She is a super nice lady, but her class is very difficult. The test are predominately based off the readings in the book. If you don't like to read the text DONT TAKE HER!!

Comment:

Dr. Taylor's class is awesome. She knows so much about the entire field of psychology so it makes the class really interesting. She takes attendance but it does not go towards your grade so you do not have to go. You do have to read the textbook, or at least the vocabulary in it, since she has a lot on the tests that weren't in lecture.

I took her fall 2015. I enjoyed the class, though I probably skipped about 40% of the time. I never took notes in class, but read the book/skimmed her powerpoint notes for the tests and made an A on every one. None of the tests are cumulative. I thought she was a good professor, and I definitely learned the basics of psych. Solid class. Easy A.

Dr. Taylor was an amazing teacher! She makes it very clear what you are and are not expected to know for the test. Go to class and read the book and you should get an A. The tests are essentially all vocabulary from the textbook.

Dr. Taylor is great, truly cares about the students. However, you are only given four tests so if you screw up if hurts your grade a lot especially since they are not curved and you don't have a chance for extra credit.

Comment:

Dr. Taylor's lectures are usually very interesting and engaging. Class only meets twice a week with an online module on Fridays, which is a nice break. I found the tests very challenging because Dr. Taylor only covers a small amount of the material in class and the rest you have to read in the textbook, which is cumbersome.

She is very sweet and if you email her she will respond with helpful information. She cares for her students and she wants everyone to do well. I would take her, just make sure you study the key terms and read the book!
