PSY105 . 5 Months Ago

One of my favorite professors ever. She is so passionate and explains concept in a really digestible way. She allows you to retake weekly quizzes until you pass and has a few reflection papers you write on dev. psych studies. Wish I went to office hours more and got to know her more.

She was great. You need to attend lecture to understand her slides but if you pay attention everything makes sense. I enjoyed her class a lot.

My favorite class so far! The lectures were super interesting and they help you understand the experiments that are on the tests. There were weekly quizzes and discussions, and three ELI reviews. Definitely recommend this professor!

Amazing professor. Going to lecture is extremely important because the slides alone do not provide enough information by themselves. One of the most interesting and meaningful classes I've taken so far.

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.
