Comment:
As long as you showed up in 195 you passed. Most classes I sat there doing nothing. A lot of guest speakers. The written assignments werent graded until the beginning of winter break. She took us on a field trip and shes super sweet, but she doesnt like to be disrespected. Dont talk while shes talking

Dr. Barron has been a wonderful professor for my capstone course. Our class is very discussion-based, allowing all of us to ask questions and go at a pace that fits our level of knowledge of the material. We don't read much from a textbook, but we do read plenty of articles. She is very accessible in and out of class.

Dr. Barron is one of the best professors i have had while at UK. She gives out a ton of extra credit just by not missing class. As long as you go to class and take good notes you will for sure get an A. She also holds review sessions before the tests and drops your lowests exam grade. I HIGHLY recommend her!

I only had Dr. Barron for the orientation to psychology course, but she is a really great person and a great contact to have in the psychology department. Super funny and helpful.

If you don't take her you will regret it!! She's very passionate about the brain and she made class so much more than just a lecture. She brought brains to class for us to examine and hold. She goes above and beyond to make you want to learn the material. There was never a boring class. She is hilarious and extremely relatable. My fav professor yet

She's awesome!! She really engages with the class and makes it so interesting to learn. She is super chill in the sense that she makes jokes and accepts questions with open arms. She does do surprise discussions so make sure you go to class! Gives extra credit and let's you drop your lowest exam. So sweet!!

She takes attendance during class using cell phones, so as long as you have the attendance code, you can follow along with the lecture at home. However, attending class is really helpful. All the tests are cumulative, but are pretty straight forward. She makes it easy to get an A.

She randomly gives mini-quizzes and group discussion assignments, so It's best to go to class. You have to anyway to understand the material. There's also a book, expensive, and best to share with a friend or classmate. Overall tho, she'll help you when you ask for it, and really understanding.

Professor Barron is a little crazy and she rants some, but she's definitely interested in what she's teaching. She knows her stuff and she tries to keep students engaged. She drops the lowest exam AND basically gives 20 points. No reason to not get a B.

Susan Barron is simply amazing. First of all, she lets you drop the lowest grade and basically gives you 20 extra credit points (as long as you show up for class). Just a word of warning: make sure you study previous material. Tests aren't all that hard as long as you study!

She is absolutely amazing!! She makes class so interesting and explains everything so thoroughly. Very very helpful. Attendance is not mandatory but she uses a lot of info from lectures on her exams. The only time I use the book is when I dont clearly understand something. GO TO CLASS! Loved this class

Dr. Barron is amazing! Although it would help to come into this class with some biology/chemistry background, it is not necessary at all. It is SO easy to do well if you attend the lectures.You have the opportunity to drop lowest test and 20 bonus. Doesn't get any better than that. She also lets you do a "bubble" assignment for cusp grades.

She's a great teacher. I really looked forward to her class every day. You get to drop the lowest exam score and there's plenty of options for extra credit. There are 4 discussions in class but only three are graded. If you are there for all four, that's 20 extra credit points. She's great. I would definitely take her class again.

The class is difficult to begin with so expect to spend some extra time in the library studying. She does have review sessions and extra credit options, and she drops one of the test scores. Do good on the first test and continue from there because the tests are cum.
