Comment:

horrible lady. had her my first freshman semester. she is rude and couldnt give a damn about anyone. she once quoted "if you copy all the notes and read the text it isnt enough" really? i dont recommend anyone taking it. got lucky with a C+ the last minute. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS

Comment:

when i started this class i read her reviews saying she was HORRIBLE but honestly shes not that bad. She gives very good examples and she is very clear. Her tests are a little hard but she isn't a difficult teacher at all.

Comment:

I am currently in this class right now and I MUST say this professor does not count attendance, she does not give any points for participation. In her class you are not anyone just 1 in 90 students. Do not take her class, unfortunately I could not drop her class because of financial aid reasons, but she will be the reason my GPA suffers!!

Comment:

She is 1 of the 2 worst teachers I have ever had in my life. Boring, Slow, Hard Grader, Hard Tests. It's like she takes pleasure in giving bad grades, i knew i was going to suffer the last day i saw her with a comment she made even though i missed one class and got a near perfect score on the final. It's near impossible not to sleep in her class.

Comment:

Avoid at all costs. I have seriously never met someone who did well in this class and as for myself, I spent the entire time thinking I was insane or stupid. It wasn't until I spoke to others who had here that I realized it wasn't me, it was her. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Don't mess up your GPA for this woman.

It is very important to get out of her class (Research Methods in Psychology)and transfer into another class. Take her class and you will just waste your time and end up frustrated.

Comment:

Couldn’t care less weather you passed or failed. Wasn’t clear in anything she said, and the clincher were the test’s. She wouldn’t really tell you what’s on the tests, and plus the wording on the test’s was just horrible. Scored my first F from that class (it was my first semester of college btw).

Comment:

shes an ok professor. exams are not her questions. she uses the author's questions which means you MUST read the book inorder to do well. shes pretty fair about grading and drops the lowest grade and doesnt care if your absent as long you do the writing assignments. be prepared to listen to her yap abt her dissertation!!

Comment:

shes a very straight foward professor - i think that her most impressive quality is that she has a lot of real world working experience and can def provide advice on careers and what happens after undergrad - she also always answers her emails which is really helpful too and she does research so she really knows the topic

As a teacher she is O.k. but her tests!!! She doesn't care about student's grades. Never will help you to get better grade, even if she sees that you know the material. Stay away!
