Comment:

She is the worst prof at Queen's. PSYC 333 is very interesting however, being taught by her is awful. She is an unfair marker that is only concerned with preaching her research and does not consider outside research and sources. This is shocking considering she says that this course is all based off of research. She is disrespectful and dismissing.

She's such a sweetheart and seems to really care about what she does. Very interesting lectures. Material on exams mostly from the textbook. All I did to study was read textbooks and slides.

Comment:

Caroline is the worst prof I have had in my years at Queens. She is not nice when you ask for help at all, almost being disrespectful and dismissive. She claims her class is 50/50 textbook lecture but it is 90% textbook where you have to know something that is mentioned once. She also included information for nontestable chapters and dismissed it.

Comment:

This class was great. My issue is that Dr. Pukall read directly off all of her slides which were exact copies of the textbook and online material. The lectures were boring and could easily be skipped but the PSYC department has started using an online software in order to take attendance (attendance is part of your grade).

She is awesome! Makes lectures so much fun and so interesting. You can tell she really likes what she teaches and she's so kind and caring. The textbook is really important because her tests often have very specific questions about it.

Conveyed the material in a clear, fun, and interesting way, while stressing the importance on non-judgement, making her very approachable. 2 midterms and a partially-cumulative final exam, with very fair questions By far one of my favourite classes I've ever taken, both as an asset to my degree, and for real-world application and general knowledg

So enthusiastic about what she teaches, and the course is so interesting! There was a ridiculous amount of reading to be done between the 2 midterms, but the questions were very straightforward and easy. Will miss this class!

I really enjoyed the class - informative and interesting. I thought the exams were very fair - if you attended class and read the textbook you should have been able to do well.

So I guess I agree with the recent comments. The funny thing is that her lectures are probably one of my most favourite! So entertaining, lots of use of media - its awesome :) But come exam time, they basically aren't included - instead it's all textbook, and like complete memorization of crazy deets.

Comment:

Reading these other comments - I wouldnt say this class was "disappointing" - it was one of my most favourite lectures Ive ever had at queens. She just needs to include way more lecture and way less textbook on the exams - maybe have some quizzes scattered in there too?

I LOVED this class - until exam time. Her exams are based 98% on textbook, and minor minor details that you have to memorize. Really disappointing.
