Super super funny. Her classes had no zoom--no attendance required. Every lecture was online on videos. NO HOMEWORK. 4 exams. NO FINAL. Loved her class.

The class was fully online, there were no class meetings. There was no book so you rely on lectures. No homework or assignments all semester. You rely a lot on the professor to post lectures so at times the quizzes and exams were very hard.

I really enjoyed PSYC 2010. The material is really interesting. She is not the best with emails. Doesn't always respond; cancels quizzes and exams without letting students know. Overall, she isn't too bad. It's a good class to take.

Shes very enthusiastic and loves what she is doing. This class was fun and her exams arent tough but they arent easy either. Make sure to pay attention, no textbook, easily reachable, and her content is A1.

I am currently taking her during COVID-19 (online). Her class has been really easy for me. You have 4 exams and about 6 to 8 quizzes (can't remember). Exams and quizzes are based off the lecture. Provides great examples during lecture, gives extra credit if you choose to provide your own example of the topic being taught. SHE IS THERE FOR YOU!

Professor Strongin was amazing. I just took her for the summer and she was great. Her lectures are detailed and specific. Everything that you need is on BB. Her tests are based on the notes and videos that you watch. I definitely recommend her. She's also funny and answers any questions asked as quickly as possible. She's an awesome professor!!

She was a great professor. All you do is take notes online. She was very good at explaining things through her power point notes. For every lecture there is a 5 question quiz which is super easy. Then after every 2 lectures you take a 30 question test on them.

10 out of 10. I would totally recommend this professor. This has to be the best class that I have taken thus far. Her lectures are extremely interesting and she's always throwing in a joke or 2. 4 exams (straight from her lectures), & a few quizzes, that all, nothing more or less. And you don't need to buy a textbook, what else could you ask for??

Great teacher! I took her online class. She has amazing lectures. Study and take notes for this class. As long as you do that you should be able to pass. Grade is based on four exams and nine quizzes. Be sure to check on blackboard or on the calendar the date of when tests are to be taken. Quizzes last 30 minutes. Exams last an hour and a half.

Your grade is based off 4 exams and 9 quizes. Each exam is worth 30 points and each quiz 5 and she doesnt drop the lowest test or quiz score. She did give a decent amount of extra credit I wanna saw like a total of like 10. She makes her exams and quizzes they are not on quizlet. Each exam covers like 1 hr and 30 minutes of lecture videos.

This is a very complex course that can go in depth about the brain and functions, so you really need to study for that A, but prof Strongin is simply amazing & a genius in her field! She has inspired me in many ways with her amazing lectures that just make so much sense and are extremely interesting. She's become 1 of my favorite prof ever.

Dr., Strongin is clearly passionate about what she does. Her lectures stick in your head all weak because of the funny examples she uses. Tests are easy if you look over your notes. You wouldn't regret taking her classes. She has amazing energy and really wants her students to succeed.

Strongin has a brilliant mind! She actually TEACHES you the material. She makes coming to class very fun. The material is fascinating and she makes you care about it. She cares about her students. Your grade is based off of 4 exams only. You definitely have to SHOW UP and take great notes. You have to really study for the exams. But she's great.

Your semester grade is based upon 4-5 test but it is super easy! There is no textbook so she gives detailed notes of exactly what she wants answered on the test and even throughout the test if she realizes she had not covered a matter she will give you the answer. Along with this there is a chance to get extra credit. The extra credit is super easy

Her class consists of 4 exams, no hw. The material that is covered is exactly what you should expect in her exams. She is absolutely great! Takes hrs away from lecture just to clarify all questions. Works with what best fits the class, TAKE HER & STUDY!!! she makes class very interesting and used examples that are hard to forget. fav teacher ever.

I loved her and her class! I took her three week online summer course. Go into the class prepared to work very hard for a short amount of time ad you will do well. 3 exams worth 100 points each. she gives you over two days to finish them and if you take your time you will pass! Very nice woman and responsive in emails. I felt I earned my A.

Comment:

Summer course. Dr. Strongin's lectures were repetitive, with little information. She wants CREATIVE answers on tests, and so you have to guess most of your way with the little, repetitive information given. 3 Tests all worth 100 points. Lots of lectures, lots of videos. Do not recommend her summer courses, HATED her tests.

Comment:

Dr. Strongin is hilarious and definitely knows what she is talking about. I was initially worried about it being an online class, but Strongin makes the lectures understandable and the test are on exactly what she goes over. I would highly recommend taking this class, I learned a lot and had a great time in this class.
