PSY105 . Liberman Z E 9 Years Ago

Zoe is really sweet and did a great job for her first quarter! She is very helpful in office hours and she works hard to make lectures interesting! The class is designed around the main concepts and theories and drawing connections between them rather than memorizing. The extra credit and participation points lighten the load.

For it being her first time teaching, I thought she did very well. She was passionate and she wanted to make sure you understood. The test weren't too bad, you had to form connections, not just remember facts. I enjoyed the class very much.

Professor Liberman's test were some of the most confusing tests I've taken during my time as a psychology major. Her lectures were all over the place, and heavily focused on HER OWN studies. I previously took a lower div develop. psych class that was MUCH more informative than hers ever was. If you can, take this with a different professor.

She's a very inexperienced lecturer and you can tell. Her lectures are a little choppy and sometimes she seems a little nervous, but her slides are good and she's interesting. She seems very nice, I was under-impressed by her as a lecturer, but I'd love to take a seminar class from her or work on her research.

One of the best psy. prof's I've ever had. Very knowledgeable of what she is teaching. Makes lectures fun. Young and relatable. iclicker questions count as your participation. Doesn't require a textbook, but assigns readings online. Only has one midterm and a final and chances for extra credit. Only homework is the readings online. recommend!!

PSY5 . Ratner K G 10 Years Ago

His lectures are well organized, but often longer than they need to be and it's very hard to pay attention because the material is super dry. He made a few mistakes that definitely confused me and other students. You need the textbook to do homework. The lab section with my TA helped me the most, I would 100% recommend going to that over lecture.

He's an amazing professor. He is very willing to help and is a nice guy. Very intelligent and understanding. If you need help, he'll give it.

Professor Ratner is a great, organized professor. He is super willing to help and encourages questions. His lectures are laid out well and he tries his best to make the subject more interesting. There is homework but it is helpful for review. The tests are fair. I would definitely recommend his class.

Prof Ratner's lectures can be very dry but the subject itself is dry since it is psych statistics. He made a lot of mistakes that confused the students alot but was willing to help if we had questions. The psych curve is harsh and applies to this course. 10% hw, 40% midterm, 50% final. I personally thought it was a very easy class.
