Comment:

She made me hate psychology. The group project was a pain and required us to read a lot of psych articles for sources. She is a nice person but a bad teacher.

Comment:

I took her online course last fall, and despite I thought it was going to be easy--it wasn't. It was a lot of work, but complete all assignments and extra credit and you should do pretty well. She is very good at responding to e-mails and is happy to help you during her office hours.

Comment:

Awful and extremely difficult class. Even though your taking the class in person it feels like your taking 1 class in person and 1 online class, tons of work. Group projects are horrible. Mandatory attendance. Very very boring to listen to. If you have to take her however try not to take her 3 hour evening classes. Too boring to tolerate

Comment:

exams are 50% book, 50% lecture; she gives a lot of extra credit; exams are difficult because enough of her lecture material are not on the exams; but attendence is manditory in order to recieve extra credit

Comment:

Very nice teacher. In order to get anything out of the class you have to put some time into it. Her exams are okay and but for the final, she allows you to bring two pages of notes. Pay attention to the lectures and do the group assignments and you should be okay. I got a 'A' in the class, but I had to put forth effort to get it. Good luck.

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory. If you take the 3 hour Tue class of course its long & boring =/ Gives lots or clicker questions so dont leave like the people below did. Tests are online but require lots of searching. Do group assignments, project and your fine i got an A. And she is extremely helpful.

Comment:

As head of the department for psychology, you would think she has something to show for it. Lectures are full of info thats not on the exams & she drags them out for 3hrs. Grading system is confusing & you won't know your grade unless you physically talk to her. Can have an attitude at times. Online text book is useless as well. DON'T TAKE PELUSO.

Horrible class!!! Her class is so boring. I was really looking forward to psychology, yet her class made me regret taking it. None of the material she taught during class was on the exam.

Comment:

I was told that Psychology would be one of my favorite classes. That was false. Truth is, Dr. Peluso's class drags on and is disgustingly boring. She gives alot of extra credit opportunities but the exams are difficult and have nothing to do with what we discuss in class. She can be rude at times. I'd advise to go with another professor.

Horrible teacher. Nothing she lectures on is on the exams. Nothing in the book relates to the exams. Spends large amounts of time "testing" the class with meaningless things (try to remember this list etc.). Will never take another Psych class because of her again.

Comment:

She is an excellent teacher (one of my favorites). Easy iClicker questions, yet the exams did have a few questions in them on stuff that she had never discussed in class before. Final was extremely easy due to the 2 pages of notes that we are allowed to bring in which can be typed. I used a size 6 font, and managed to fit every note for the class.

Comment:

She seems nice but BORING!!!! She was so boring that I stopped going to school for the last 6 weeks and I still got a B-. The final was soooo easy and we got to write notes on a sheet of paper which made it impossible to fail. Its good for a easy B but it won't peak your interest in Psychology

Comment:

Peluso can't teach for her life, but she gives take home tests, easy iClicker, and an extremely easy final. Only complaint is that she never elaborated on what she meant, and the take home tests had stuff we never covered in the entire class. I recommend her highly!

Comment:

She was pretty good. Sometimes a little boring, but what class isn't? All her tests were online (except the final) and you could use your book and notes. You have to read the chapters though and still study to do good. Just put some effort and show up for class. She also gives alot of extra credit oppurtunities which are very helpful too.

Comment:

Dr. Peluso will make you fall asleep. Even though her tests are online you must study and read everything, they are not the least bit easy. She is unorganized with the grades. You have to always check them. I had to email her about 20 times no lie. Avoid her at all costs she drags on and on and almost never finishes her lectures on time.

Comment:

Very well spoken teacher. Attendance is important cuz each class she likes to ask iclicker questions. Sometimes they are extra-credit, helps grade in the end. Must read material in the book before going to class each day. Going to S.I. helps with the tests; they are online and multiple choice except for the final. Easy if you study and go to class.

Comment:

Prof. Peluso is very approachable. However, read the syllabus BEFORE you ask questions on grading (it's in there). All quizzes and the midterm are on blackboard. I-Clicker questions are random. But, she gives ex. credit opportunities (almost) all the time. There is an experiment requirement, but it's the department's, not her's.

Comment:

Really fair teacher. all her quizes and exams (except for final) are online and the answers are right in your textbook. she does iclicker questions, which can range from very easy to hard, so class attendance is mandatory, but she gives out extra credit questions and assignments. Lectures are kinda boring, but i easily passed with a B.

Comment:

you must be ready as soon as, or before she enters the room for random quizes. rare extra credit-if any,few points that make no difference anyway. never answers emails. and the most annoyin thing is REQUiRED is you must participate for as a test subject in 3 psych experiments, fill out paperwork and write essays. i heard Jakubow is better!

Comment:

Okay teacher. Class is easy and the material isnt hard but if you dont keep up you can easily fall behind. Sitting in class drove me insane...she took forever to move on to new points and was extremely rude when it came time to ask questions about the class/grading etc.I dont recommend this professor
