I took her for intro to pysch. She explains topics super well, shows videos and makes sure u understand the topic. Her test are super easy and consists of in class notes and the textbook. Very easy and fun class.
Class of -1
The class is mainly memorization of the course pack. The exams are made of around 55 multiple answers questions and sometimes short answer questions. The class material is pretty easy, but there is a lot to go over for each exam (studying at the last minute is possible, but very tough.. ). Overall, the class is interesting; you get a very broad overview of psychology.

For her intro to psych class, she had 4 tests that were mainly multiple choice as well as a couple short answer questions. There is also a final paper to write. The paper was very simple to write and did not require a lot of research.

I loved taking her class, she gives you fill-in-the-blank slides and has no problem with answering any questions. She likes to also show videos to keep things interactive, she does a lot of test reviews and prepares students well for tests. Her tests are usually 50-60 multiple choice and 3-4 short answers (like 1-3 phrase answers). It seems like a lot but the questions are very easy. To pass have a good understanding of the material, but don't stress about memorizing everything, understanding goes a long way.

I loved this class. At the beginning of the semester we had to buy a course pack with fill in the blank spaces. When she was finished teaching every slide, she took the time to make sure that we were done coping the notes. She didn't normally post the slides online, but if you attended class, you were able to get the notes. During class she would also show us relevant videos.

This teacher is not helpful when you need her. She seems nice at first impression however when a student needs some sort of help or accommodation due to an exceptional circumstance she is very closed minded. She does not consider her students and how they feel. It is only about her unfortunately. I regret taking her for QM.
