Comment:

I highly regret not researching this professor before taking her class. Hardest and most stressful class I've ever taken. She's a tough grader and the exams make up a huge percentage of your grade. She is definitely homework heavy. Exams are extremely difficult and so confusing because they don't always have anything do with the lessons.

Comment:

Professor Noll herself is a good person. I met her during her office hours, but I took her Intro to Psych online and it was very time consuming, lots of work due weekly, and she graded relatively hard. Would recommend if you are looking for a challenge but not for an easy A

Great professor to have for an online class, very clear with expectations and grading policies. Exams are proctored and require hours of studying, weekly assignments due every Sunday but they don't require much effort or time.

Comment:

Dr. Noll was amazing for Introduction to Pyschology. While the course is difficult, she makes so interesting. She included many of her own personal stories in the lectures as well as gave answers to many of the clickers. She also mentioned what was going to be on the exams. You HAVE to read your textbook or you WILL not pass the exams. 9/10

Dr. Noll was amazing made perfect use of PowerPoints to outline exactly what we would be asked on exams. Homework outside of exams was infrequent and easy, she is really funny and makes a topic that I expected to be complicated very simple to understand. Show up, take notes, do the homework, study even slightly for exams, and you will get an easy A

Really easy class. Her online lectures are really good to understand material after reading the textbook. Weekly quizzes and then an exams every three weeks were the norm. Studying is still necessary though!

Comment:

Professor Noll is pretty flexible and all of the information that falls on the test is discussed in her lectures - so as long as you pay attention in class and take notes on the slides she gives, you should be okay. The lectures aren't as exciting or interactive, but they still include a lot of information.

Professor Noll is great! It's clear that she really cares about you and your success. She had great recorded lectures, and responded quickly to emails making this a great online course. Her grading scale is nice too, exams 40% homework 20% lab assignments 20% and 1 writing assignment 20%. The writing assignment was only 2-3 pages.

So far so good. I am taking the course online and it's really about reading to understand the information and applying what you have learned to the activities in Launch Pad. I haven't taken an actual exam yet, just quizzes. The quizzes are pretty much knowledge based so studying is key. If she has other classes she teaches, I will take her course.

Comment:

I took this class online and this professor was a test heavy grader. The biggest grades that counted was 3 essays and 4 exams. The exams were mostly confusing (questions mostly taken from the weekly quizzes) since it didn't always match up with the lessons. 1 lesson and quiz a week. Exams can be taken online or on campus, your choice.

Comment:

This class was an easy A. 4 tests, 2 papers, and clicker questions comprised of your grade. She definitely knows the material and was humorous. Tests were very easy if you did the study guide (bless my older friends who took her previously!) and attend the lectures. She does teach a bit fast so it's nice to print the slides out before class.

Took the class online. Super easy, you have a quiz each week and then you have 4 exams in total that are proctored online, but you also have the option of taking them on campus. Only extra credit available was 5 extra points added to a test grade. She provides good material but can come off a little impatient.

Comment:

There were only 4 tests, 2 writing assignments, a research requirement, and clicker questions that contributed to your grade. The textbook is really needed but good to use before the test. The tests were simple, no more than 45 questions but missing like 5 questions is a significant drop in test grades. Clickers are used and important. Easy class.

Comment:

Dr. Noll keeps her lectures interesting and explains all of the topics very simply and easily. You can tell she has been teaching this for a while and does not assign very many things. There were only 4 tests the whole semester and they are worth a lot of your grade but as long as you study, I found them to be easy.

There were only two papers during the semester (summer B) and they weren't that difficult. Just show up to class and get the clicker points, Dr Noll makes the lectures interesting

Comment:

She can be condescending and not very helpful. Went to her office hours multiple times and she didn't give me much feedback or anything. The quizzes and lab assignments are easy but the tests are extremely hard and she rarely responds to emails. Definitely wouldn't take this class if you don't have to.

Comment:

She's an okay professor. Seems to have limited knowledge that only covers course material. Can't really answer supplementary questions. She can be condescending and she was also culturally insensitive quite often. Clicker points make attendance mandatory. Read the book and her slides while using the learning objectives. Gives extra cred options
