So I just finished her Psych 19 class. Definitely take her! Her lectures are very clear. The class isnt worth a lot of points but shes a generous grader. She doesnt nitpick. There is a group project. This prob gave me the most anxiety but it all worked out. Just keep it to 20 min people! Lol, people were going on for 35 plus min!

She gives a study guide for all quizzes taken in class. Slides are on canvas and has useful information for the quizzes and final. Textbook is there to help you if you dont understand a topic. Attend class she discusses well the lectures. She drops the lowest quiz score. One group project is given.

Take Davison online! Class consisted of weekly discussions where you have to answer a question(s) and respond to two classmates, also weekly quizzes (but those are super easy). Occasional activities outside of weekly assignments. Don't get the book, I was able to get by w/out it. Super easy class and easy A!

Prof Davison is so sweet, kind, and willing to help. Her lectures are clear and she usually uses powerpoint for her lectures and will post her slides before class. She provides a few quizzes throughout the semester but are super easy if you study her slides! Class is easy A if you study. Definitely would take her again.

Took her online class and boy did I love it! Do yourself a favor and take her online course... Take the quizzes with the power point open and you should have no issue getting a 100 on every single quiz... Do the discussion every week and comment two other posted discussions. If you fail this online class, you really had to try... It's way to easy!

Comment:

Prof. Davison is a very generous grader. The class is not difficult at all and you can still learn a lot from following lecture & the textbook readings. The weekly quizzes (12 best out of 15) & weekly discussions are fairly easy. You do not need any math skills; just know correlation rates. The final was a bit more work, (3 essays), but doable.

Professor Davison is great. I'm currently taking an online class with her and she is passionate about what she teaches. She always give nice feedback. the textbook is not necessary, however it's up to you and how much you really wanna learn for your future. If you just want to pass in class you will do fine just w/ her powerpoints--which are great

Do not get the book. Never opened it once, got a 99% in the class. The assignments are super easy but you can't miss any because the whole class is only out of like 200 points. Just read the PowerPoint and you'll be fine.

I really enjoyed Lifespan Psych w/ Professor Davison. Her lectures are interesting, she supplements the info with great examples and showed a few good movies. If you follow the lectures, study your notes & work hard on the presentation you'll do well. Textbook helps but is not required, she covers everything in lecture. And she's super nice!

Comment:

This is the easiest class I have ever taken. Every week there is a PowerPoint, quiz, and discussion. You read the PowerPoint. Then take the 5 question quiz. (It helps if you screenshot the PowerPoint so you can refer to it during the quiz. (She drops your 5 lowest quiz scores). No book needed. ended w/a 98%. Occasionally an easy extra assignment.

I love Professor Davison! I took her online class during Fall 2017 and it wasn't hard to do! Read the powerpoints and textbook for clarity (you could also email her for clarity and she'll respond in a timely manner) do the weekly discussions, and the assignments (4) and you'll do great! It's not a difficult class and you still learn a lot.

Professor Davison is an amazing professor. I loved attending her class, and was intrigued by all of her lectures. You can't miss class, as all of her test questions come from her lectures. I didn't use the book, but I took good notes and never missed class. I got an A.

Comment:

Professor Davison is very clear about her expectations and there are no surprises in the class. Yes she lectures, but that is the only way to get through all of the material and she does her best to break it up with other activities. In my opinion, she is a fair an easy grader. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I guarantee you'll do better if you go.
