had her last quarter and her lectures were super fun (often showed videos of her kids doing a task related to the course content). very clear and flexible grading guidelines (3 different options for grading based on what assignments u complete).
She's amazing. I can't begin to explain how grateful I was that all of the assignments were so clear and all perfectly coordinated. The quizzes/summaries/discussion posts are all graded on participation, but doing them will help you so much on the exams. Go to class and you'll do great!
Genuinely interesting class. Gave 3 different options for weighting tests and participation. Article summary and discussion are graded on completion, tests are straight-forward and cover everything in slides. Didn't go to class, just watched old recorded lectures. Advice: Note key ideas + findings AND differences for AGES + exceptions.
This class was fairly easy but be careful bc tests weigh pretty heavy as everything else (weekly discussion posts/quizzes/ELI reviews) are only participation based. Lecture isn't mandatory but if you go and take notes/pay attention you'll be fine bc they set you up well for tests. She has lecture videos from past years also so you can catch up.
extremely comical knowing my dad died this quarter and i asked for a retest, even though rescheduling is in my DSP accomodations and then gives me the same exam as students who opted to just not show up. Don't worry she told me to this post lecture that they were allowed the same opportunity for being lazy even though the syllabus says diff lmao
Yeah ngl, this prof was ahhhh. That is putting it nicely. She does not teach nor lecture emphasis of matters but as me and other students have experienced is that she treats us like we are inept when trying to ask simple questions. Avoid her like the black plague despite her lab
Well she is a professor that shouldnt be teaching for starters. Second she does not teach nor offer review that will cover the exam. Not to mention if you have a family member passing she will still offer you the same opportunity as the students who decided to skip the exam resulting in lower scores. Probably the worst professor from a transfer
Liberman is the most fair professor at this university- especially within the PBS department. She structures her class into 3 different grade paths- you can either heavily rely on tests, rely mostly on tests and some ELI/Discussion posts, or do a "more" project so your tests count as less of your grade. Her tests are SO fair, & she is so respected.
She gives good, clear lectures with interesting content. She explains the content in words, videos, and graphs which is helpful. She had videos of old lectures on Canvas if you miss a class. Very strict about her no late work policy.
Really interesting lectures and content that was organized pretty well. Make sure to understand the experiments covered in lecture in addition to the other material. Exams were straightforward.
Love this professor and this class. Lectures, quizzes, and exams were very well structured. As long as you understand the experiments and what they mean, you will do fine on the exams. The only complaint I have is that the article summary was graded super hard, but other than that I loved PSY 105 with Liberman.
I think her lectures and slides were extremely interesting and I learned a ton from the weekly articles. The article summary was graded really hard but other than that, the tests were fair and the weekly quizzes are unlimited attempts. If you really study the lectures and articles, you will do fine on exams. The professor seems sweet too!
Great professor and her lectures are so interesting, I'm surprised by all the negative reviews. As long as you go to lectures, it's an easy A. There are weekly readings but I never did them and still found both exams to be pretty easy. There are also three article summaries but you get full credit for two of them just by turning something in.
Literally awful to deal with. Good class tho
Professor Liberman is an awesome lecturer, people are rating poorly bc of their grade on the article summary, I turned mine late and got a good grade despite the points knocked. You have to practice, graded for completioin article summaries, if you actually try on those assignments, and revise, you should have no problem. Tests are fairly easy.
Honestly, she is a very inconsiderate, unkind professor. Will not listen to your situations even though they are valid, and grades the article summary incredibly harshly (it's 20% of our grade!). While the material itself is straightforward, I would not recommend this professor to anyone
Incredibly difficult professor to deal with. The class itself is fair, however, if you have any issues and have proper documentation of it she is absolutely awful to deal with. She is incredibly rude and does not understand even when you repeatedly try to explain. Does not respond to emails in a timely manner and when she does shes pretty rude.
Super easy class imo, really interesting lectures and clearly very passionate about her work. You can take the quizzes until you get 100% and 2/3 writing assignments are graded only on completion. Highly recommend for psych.
Honestly I wonder if this class has changed significantly since these negative reviews, because the class is good now. Fair exams, two writing assignments, good lectures- and she seemed nice when I talked to her. Though I didn't really have any real issues or to go office hours, so take that with a grain of salt. No textbook, just studies to read.
Very interesting and interactive lectures. Genuinely enjoyed the class and thought her exams were reasonable. Her grading percentages were very fair and didn't completely rely on just exams.
Pleasant voice, easy lectures, organized, 1Midterm18%, ArticleReview19%, Final23%, participation w unlimited attempt quiz/DB. I got high B's on both tests and was able to pull an A. 2 short readings/week. Past lectures posted. Tests in person. Article summ. graded harder than should. Screenshot rubric frm practice review(disappears) for graded one.
Solid class! Dr. Liberman knows her stuff and her lectures were fun and interesting. This was the only class of the quarter that I actually looked forward to going to every day! Grading is fair overall, and exams are very doable if you study.
Good professor, her ratings should be higher. Class structure was simple and easy. 2 exams and a graded article summary. All the other assignments are gimmes. Overall, a fun course, would recommend!
Dr. Liberman is a very kind, if research-oriented, professor. Her lectures are information heavy, but most of the work is straightforward and based solely on completion/has infinite attempts. Only one writing assignment is graded for quality, and if you tried on the practices, the real one is simple. Keep an eye out for "NOT" questions on exams!
