Comment:

Attendance isn't mandatory but I found it difficult when I did skip a few times. There's research credits you have to do (did all of mine online throughout the semester- easy). The online homework is due every like 3 weeks and it was easy. The exams are a little difficult (i got all low B's on them) but doing the homework and RC helps ur grade.

This was by far the best teacher I had in my first semester. She was able to communicate her ideas in an easy way. It is all lectures, but they really are helpful.

Joynes is AMAZING! Her lectures are engaging and interesting, plus she offers lots of extra credit. Even though attendance isnt mandatory, GO TO CLASS. There will be topics discussed in her lectures that are not on her powerpoints that you will be tested on! If you go to class, pay attention, and do the work (which isnt a lot) , its an easy A!

Amazing professor and she posts all notes online including study guides. The class is pretty straightforward, if you study and put in some work, you will do well. She is also very funny!

Comment:

I took Research Methods with Dr. Joynes after having her for Gen Psyc. Do NOT buy the textbook. Go to class and take some notes to supplement the powerpoints or else you'll be a little lost on the material. Study the detailed study guide outlines for exams and this class is an easy A. I loved this class and Dr. Joynes so much!!

GREAT professor. She's hilarious, and her lectures were highlights of my semester. The class wasn't hard as long as you do the reading and go to class, but make sure you pay attention especially to terminology because she asks for a lot of it on exams.

Generally easy class, but you need to read both the book and quizzes to understand. Wording for tests slightly wonky, but reading will make it a bit easier

I took her class for Gen Psych and it was pretty easy. Make sure to get your research credits done ASAP because then you don't have to worry about it at the end. Her tests are a little difficult at first but after the first one, you will know better what to expect. You don't technically have to attend class, but just do it.

She is one of the best teachers i have ever had! she teaches in such a fun energetic and captivating way which makes it really easy to learn. She makes "difficult" topics seem really easy. She is funny, engaging, and i would never want to miss a lecture. Her tests are perfectly clear and she gives a quiz that you can take repeatedly due every exam.

I took Psych in high school, so I was already pretty familiar with the material, but I went to class mostly so I knew what we were discussing, but also because it was an enjoyable class. She was very kind and funny.

Dr. Joynes has to be one of my favorite professors. She's down to Earth, funny, and smart. She tells you exactly what you need to know for course content. We even played Kahoot! She curves exams depending on "bad questions" and offers extra credit. You don't have to attend class, but I had fun and cleared up a few confusions, so I recommend going.

Dr. Joynes is easily one of the best professors so far in my 3 years of college. Though sometimes she can get stuck on a slide for a while, its clear that she is teaching to the whole class, and loves to inject fun personal stories. She's passionate, caring, and knows how to teach the material in a way that is easy to comprehend, and remember.

lectures every day. class is optional. all the notes that she goes over in class are posted on blackboard. she posts review sheets and study guides nearing a test. exams are multiple choice. quizzes are online and can be taken an unlimited amount of times. the class is super easy if you show up and study for the exams.

I really enjoyed class with Joynes. She always did her best to make the lectures interesting and seemed to actually care and have a passion for what she talks about. As long as you study you'll do good on the exams. She provides you with more than enough study materials and also drops your lowest exam (not counting the final) at the end of the term

Comment:

Very easy class, drops lowest exam and lowest 3 quiz grades. Easy material and reads directly from powerpoint (posted online). Great person but tends to go off topic during lectures. Gives 20 extra credit points (class is 480 total) if you do practice questions on LaunchPad. Used textbook for online quizzes.
