Comment:

Professor Berg is a great professor! Your grade is based on tests, one group project and one extra credit opportunity. No homework. Lectures are interesting even though she didn't use slide notes, but we did watch videos. Make sure to read the book!! I can't stress this enough. You get the grade you worked for. Definitely recommend her!

We had four tests and she let us take bring an index card that we could put whatever we wanted on it. Take this class if you want an easy AB! She's nice enough, just don't ask dumb questions. Lectures were okay, I enjoyed the youtube videos.

Tremendously great at what she does. She is super smart, all her lectures are spot on, literally gives you the answers for quizzes. Not too much work but studying matters as well as coming to class, She has a good eye on reading students who have interest in learning the material! Easy grade if strongly determined. Taking her this spring 4 Psych 1.

Comment:

Professor Berg is insightful, sweet, and encouraging. 6 quizzes (drops the lowest score), baby paper, and a final project. Her lectures may be a bit dry, but she tries to keep the class entertained. The quizzes are spot on with her lectures, so listen well. Topics written on the board pertain to the quizzes. It's hard to fail. TAKE HER!

Comment:

I didn't think I would enjoy this class as much as I did. Dr. Berg is super smart and her lectures were usually pretty interesting. She's pretty clear on what is going to be on the test, you don't need to take strenuous notes. Do your definitions and use the notecard she allows for each exam and the class will be a breeze. No cumulative final!

Comment:

She has a very dry sense of humor, but once you get it, she's freaking hilarious. Some people didn't seem to catch on. She goes through the book, so as long as you know your material, it's not too hard. Going to class helps, because she goes over specific things you need to know for the test! I'll miss her sense of humor!!!

Overall, I enjoyed this class! Take good notes during her lectures and study minimally from the book. She allows a 4x6 card on every exam so you can fit a majority of the material on the card! A good grade is not hard to come by in this class

Comment:

WORST PSYCH TEACHER!Class is extremely boring and hardly anyone shows up. All you have are 4 tests and if you screw up on one enjoy a B in the class. Her tests have nothing to do with lectures and even with a notecard, some of her tests are challenging. take another professor.

Pretty good teacher. Take good notes and keep up with the readings and you'll do fine. She allows a 4x6 flash card on exams which are helpful and you'll do several group projects that aren't bad at all.

Her class is somewhat easy. All you do is take notes. Tests are fairly easy if you studied the material she went over in class and she even let's you have a 4x6 card. I recommend you type it though!

Her lessons are very boring you don't learn at all. Exams are multiple choice, no cumulative final. You can study from the textbook, even reading the summary of each chapter is enough. You can have a 4x6 note card in the exam. I recommend her if you want to boost your GPA :)

Comment:

Easy A. Took minimal notes, never cracked open the textbook until the morning before the test,skimmed the summary section, and it was enough to retain everything I needed to know for the exams. The projects and other assignments only serve to boost your grade. Her class isn't exactly Disneyland, and it's a struggle to stay awake. Attendance not man

Great professor. Sarcastic and funny. Lectures can get a little mundane, but get better with her personal anecdotes. If you're a psych buff, this class is a piece of cake; if not, with the book, lectures and note cards you'll survive.

Comment:

She's awesome! She knows A LOT! Her lectures are a little boring but she tells you stories about her work. HEAVY use of textbook to study for tests but that makes them easier. Let's you use a notecard for her exams. Exams are relatively easy if you study for them. Gives extra credit. The group essay and group presentation is a little annoying.
