Comment:

I would purposely walk out on Opportunity Drive praying for Brad, Chad, or Zach to hit me with their truck so I could have an excuse not to go to class. CEO of wasting my time. She will force you to go to class for "group projects," but in reality, she didn't teach. Be prepared to read your textbook and teach yourself.

Comment:

Took forever to grade things. Was a hard grader. Tests were hard if you didnt study. She hardly ever got through the whole chapter before starting a new one. Tried to relate her personal life to hell us understand things, but it didnt help

Comment:

While as a person she is lovely and a joy to talk to her class is extremely difficult and if you are not interested in cognitive psychology I would not take any of her classes but especially not this one. She grades everything including reading summaries extremely tough and her tests are some of the most difficult I've ever taken. Beware.

Comment:

Be ready to spend most of the class hearing her personal stories and doing busy work in groups. There is no reason to go to her classes except she takes attendance as a grade, the best use of your time in her class is reading & taking notes on the book with earbuds in, I got a B with that strategy. For foundation credit just take sociology instead.

Comment:

She is a very nice professor who is easy to reach if you have any questions. Her tests are difficult but if you study hard, you'll be fine. In the online class, it was hard to watch her videos sometimes because they were so long, but she makes relatable references and you can tell she wants you to get enjoy the class and connect it to your life.

Comment:

She spends most of class making un-important announcements instead of actually teaching, you can all of the material from the book in 1/4 of the time, but of course, attendance is mandatory. She is very pompous and doesn't listen to anything she doesn't agree with. I would say to avoid if at all possible, her class isn't even about studying psych

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE, she LOVES to waste your time and is the definition of a C U Next Tuesday, she's self-righteous and loves to talk about nothing, constantly fills your inbox with redundant emails. Her class is about the HISTORY of psychology and anatomy of the brain, not actual psychology, take ANY other professor.

Comment:

Dr. Diliberto is a good professor who is easily accessible outside of the classroom, she wants you to succeed. However, her tests are extremely difficult and are application heavy. At times they are over concepts in the book that were read for homework and not the lecture. Thankfully, she does offer a lot of extra credit!

Comment:

Dr. D was a great psychology professor. Her tests were relatively difficult, but if you read the textbook and study her power points you should be fine. We had one research paper, and she had a very clear rubric and was always available to help us. Although attendance is not mandatory, some graded activities can only be completed during class.

She is very passionate about her subject. She is very lecture and textbook heavy. Her tests are hard, most people do not do well on them because there is a lot of application and it can be confusing.

Hard. I wouldn't recommend to first year students unless you have no other option. Focusing is tough and its truly just hard to maintain a positive attitude in her class.

Lots of outside reading/practice required. She won't go over all the material you'll need to know for the test.

Comment:

She's ok. I personally would not take her again. I suggest if you want to pass the class make sure you read the textbook or have a friend who has taken this class before explain it too you. She gives quizzes on the chapter before she lectures about it. So make sure you are ready to do lots of reading!

Dr. D. is really helpful, which was great because stats can be rough. She gave good feedback on drafts before we submitted papers, and is really good about getting you the help you need to understand the material.

Comment:

Dr. D is great! She's extremely helpful. Her class convinced me to declare a psych major. It's a tough class, but as long as you study her poweroints, read the book, and take the practice quizes, it's doable. She's always happy to help when you need it.

Comment:

Dr. D is really fun in class and uses PowerPoint to teach. However, you must read the text if you want to do well on the tests. I feel like she treats us as if we're all Psych majors when the class is just a GenEd. Overall, I feel like I've learned a LOT from this class, but mainly because I studied so hard.

Comment:

the tests are super hard and usually dont cover what goes on in lecture or the book, but she curves her grades up so even though i did bad on all the tests i ended up with a decent grade. she is very nice and each class is basically just going over powerpoints

Comment:

Dr. D is such a nice lady, and her class isn't too bad either! She is very reliant on PowerPoints, which I didn't find too great. But, her tests are very easy (if you study) and her final for this class is made up of all old test questions. (yay!)

Comment:

Dr. Diliberto is very helpful, within in reason she can be lenient and she is always welcoming for you to come talk to her. Her class is moderate in difficulty, as long as you study your good. Her tests are all multiple choice and her quizzes are all online. It is an easy freshman class and good for those unsure of psychology as a major.

Comment:

Dr. D has a great way of organizing her class. You have to read the book word for word, and study the notes as well, but during the class she makes it enjoyable. She does tend to ramble a bit every once in a while, but overall she's a great professor, and is extremely willing to help you boost your grade if you show her the effort.
