Comment:

Class was an easy A but do not be fooled. This class was a requirement for my major and I thought I would love it. Toby's lectures were so confusing and her links barely worked half the time. Doing the "try it outs" every week was like pulling teeth because there was not much direction. Be prepared to learn nothing in this class.

ATTENTION!!! DO NOT TAKE AS AND INTRO TO PSYCH!!!!! This is not an introductory class she will assume you know what she is talking about! the transition from in-person to online was extremely difficult with little to no guidance. When emailed her responses were rude and not helpful at all. EXPECT TO TEACH YOURSELF!!!!!!

Comment:

This woman is the worst professor I have ever had. In class she just sporadically talks the entire time and gives participation points. Her online lectures are useless and outdated and do not align with what she tests you on. The quizzes have no time limit but the exams are 100q in 2hrs. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PROFESSOR! She should not be a teacher!

Comment:

Toby has a 10 page syllabus that is redundant and encompasses all semesters in one. During the summer she has discussions that are due twice a week with 1 quiz each week, unless there is a test. Grades discussions after unit tests. Her powerpoints are severely outdated and don't flow with the reading in the textbook or her lectures.

Comment:

I took this class online and it was not difficult just a lot of reading (duh). She is a fair, easy grader. As long as you do your work, actually do it there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. There are 2 papers, one you get 2 months to complete and the final. Several discussion posts and you get 2 attempts for the tests which make them easy A's.

Comment:

I took the online version of her 130 class. I think the lectures were all just copy-pastes from somewhere and they were riddled with typos. There are online discussion forums, she'll downgrade you if you repeat a question but only lets you see what others have written after you post something. Not sure how that works.. Other than that, QuizletA

RUN! (But really. She tells you to buy the most updated textbook, then uses her copy from 2015 that doesn't correlate at all. Half the links she sends are broken and when I emailed her about this she told me to fix them if I wanted an A. What?? The assignments are unclear and goodness are there assignments! EVERY DAY!)

Comment:

There is a lot of reading in this course, and at the end of the semester there are two big papers to complete. Overall, the professor is pretty lenient with grading and as long as you put some effort into your work you will get a good grade.

Comment:

Easily the most unorganized online course I've taken. Lists plenty of questions for discussion, but only allows you to answer the "highlighted questions". Not to mention every assignment description is littered with typos. Prof gets angry when students answer the same questions but has the discussion board closed until you make your own posting.

Comment:

Extremely scatterbrained, unorganized, quiz/exam heavy, posts on readings due every week or so. QUIZZES - not difficult/NOT timed. EXAMS - not easy/TIMED. You will read every page of textbook but chapters are assigned in what feels to be extremely random. I DO NOT recommend this professor. I'd move down the line to the next available professor.

Comment:

I took the hybrid course. So 8 weeks face to face. 8 wks online. Face to face was easy to get discussion points. I just showed up, acted like i talked in the groups and turned in my hw. Online is a TON of reading. She's kind of a scatter brain so its really difficult to follow the lectures online and in person. Easy A as long as you turn in work.

Comment:

Lots and lots of discussion. There are very sensitive topics discussed (WGS 201) so it is important to enter the classroom with an open state of mind. She enjoys playing the Devil's Advocate for sake of discussion, so do not mistake it for anything else. A really great person to talk with a lot of knowledge to share

Toby is greAt. Not for everyone however. She teaches in a scattered way but she is very clear on what you need to do and how to do it. Very understanding. I would definitely take a class of hers again.

Comment:

She gives way too much information/extra details. But the class should be an easy A as long as she gives extra credit whenever she feels like "you went above". The way she presents material is confusing/unorganized. There are 4 units with 3-4 modules each. You do 2 "Try it out" posts and a peer review for each module. 3 long exams and 1 paper.

Comment:

College Algebra was easier than this class. I was so confused. So, unorganized it took me over a week to figure out everything. Online you have to read lectures that (I.e. Unit 1 Module 1-4 Module 1 has about eight lectures you have with tryouts) test 90-100 questions two hours. You have to read the book on top of it. Should be short quizzes.

Comment:

Textbook reading, power point reading, articles, hyperlinks and any other way that words can be written - you will probably need to read it for this class. If reading isn't your best way to learn or you don't have time to read- avoid this class. I don't know if the on campus version of this class is better- but the summer online course is difficult

Comment:

This class was really hard for me. The quizzes were fairly easy. You pretty much could copy and past the questions into quizlet and get the answers. The only thing that saved me for this class was the fact that she had a curve for the grading. For example, the tests were worth 100 points. However, she automatically gave you 25 extra credit points.

Comment:

This class was difficult. You don't need to get the textbook, because she basically gives it to you, but it is hard to navigate. Her assignments are graded weirdly and she is tough about it. She does give audio feedback though. If I were to take this class again, I would most likely pick her.
