Comment:

I've had Dr. S. for several classes now and there are few professors I've ever had that can match up to her. She is extremely knowledgeable about her topics and her lectures are engaging. Her classes are VERY difficult, but very rewarding at the same time. I regularly apply what I've learned from her in my life.

Comment:

Research methods with Dr. S. is supposed to be the hardest research methods in all of UMSL. However, she is ABSOLUTELY the person you want to take it with. If you get an A in her class, she'll give you a letter of recommendation. She has high expectations of her students & cares about their education! GO TO CLASS! Slides are not posted online!!

Attend her lectures. Get a notebook and I kid you not, write down almost everything you talk about in class. If she posts the notes, print them out and write all over them. Get a note buddy and share notes with each other. It's a hard class but it is SO rewarding. You will learn so much from this class. Pay attention and you'll do great.

(Online student reviewing) Solid teacher with clear expectations. She outlines the flow / demands of the class, then lets you to earn the grade you get. Every time I had an issue or needed clarification, she answered my emails in a timely manner. Tests were fair and her assignments allowed students to express their understanding of the material.

Comment:

Dr. Sicilliani has to be one of my all time favorite teachers. She knows so much about the field of psychology and genuinely wants her students to succeed. She speaks extremely fast so write everything she says down. She relates a lot of the material to her own personal experiences which makes it easier to remember certain topics. 10/10

Comment:

Even though her syllabus is extremely specific and rigid, her actual lectures are very hard to follow and filled with confusing colloquialisms. If you're hard of hearing or have difficulty focusing, you can't even have your phone out to record her lectures and she will humiliate you in front of 200 people for doing so. Good luck...

Best Prof EVER & most interesting course I've ever had & it's because of her! You will learn so much that ACTUALLY MATTERS to you. I would take it all over again. Just take LOTS of notes & study them they matter for your pop quizzes & exams. Very little hmwk. She is VERY knowledgeable & she truly cares for her 'peeps' as she calls students.

I've had Dr. S for 2 courses, she is hands down the best professor I've ever had. Methods was such a hard course when it comes to searching for articles. If you listen, take really good notes (unlike me hence my C) in class you will pass & you have to make sure you study your notes often! Even though she tries to scare her students its just a front

Go to every class and write down every thing said/talked about because that is the complete test. Very easy to pass if you show up and take good notes. AWESOME teacher as I have never liked a teacher more in my college career

Dr. S. is the best professor Ive ever had. Shes hilarious, cares about her job, and I honestly dont know how a school like umsl got her to teach there but Im glad they did. If you dont put in effort, youre not going to succeed in her courses, especially research methods.

Beware of her online class. It's taught like you're a psych major, so don't take it for a gen ed. Doesn't answer emails clearly (if at all) tests/quizzes contain content from different courses (doesn't fix the problem either) and are already on obscure content. Requires you to read original psych documents for a gen ed class. Not worth the stress.

She tries very hard to make learning interesting, and it works. I enjoyed going to her lectures every class period, but the tests were a different story. Maybe it was just the semester that I had her, but the tests were ridiculous. I felt like they were trick questions over tedious details rather than actually testing my knowledge in psychology.

Lectures were great and very interesting. If you skip one class you're gonna miss out on a whole lot of things. Textbook was optional only if you really wanted to understand the info more. Many pop quizzes

She's an amazing professor and is really good at getting the class engaged in her lectures. She tries to use as little technical wording as possible and tries to make psychology easy to understand. I go home and talk about what I learned in lectures often. Very interesting class and amazing teacher.
