This class with ford was def something. Her quizzes were not fair and not reflective of her lecture content, also only had 20 mins for 5 questions.Her slides weren't the best, if you don't go to lecture you'll have a hard time understanding the material. In the end a C on an exam despite an A and B on the others, and some bad quiz scores got me a C

Lectures are boring and not very helpful. Very few assignments, I think it was just 3 quizzes and maybe 3 exams. I ended up withdrawing from the course and retook it with another professor. Also lots of readings which are mostly research papers.

Worst professor I have ever taken a class with. Super rude, her lectures are boring and hard to understand. She goes through slides fast and reads info about research studies from notes she has. Gets confused a lot and her slides often have graphs/data about study but no context so you have to attend lecture. Super vague questions on exams! Avoid!!

If Dr. Ford was a beverage she would be Flint, Michigans tap water. Just the worst professor. Hates her students and only cares about the letters that come after her name.

I would not recommend taking her class. her lectures were unclear most of the time. she would rant about unrelated topics and when asked questions about the class content or studies she wouldn't know the answer. the exams were tricky because of how the questions were worded with ambiguous answers. you def have to study like crazy to do decent

for a pretty straightforward topic, prof ford makes psy102 more difficult than it should be. the entire course is just her reading off her slides about research studies and not really adding any personal input or interpretation. the exams are pretty difficult, but her extra credit evens it out somewhat. i personally would not retake or recommend.

it's in ur best favor to avoid having her as a professor, she structures the class in a very stressful way. she makes it hard to succeed by assigning a ton of reading, 2 30 min online quizzes that were hard, exams were unnecessarily difficult, focusing hard on random details of some niche studies. close relationships was an awesome class, too bad.

I liked the class itself more than the professor teaching it, but overall she was adequate. Her quizzes were awful and easy to perform poorly on since there were only 5, very specific and somewhat difficult questions, not to mention the time constraint. Many exam questions were ambiguous and very specific, which was frustrating and confusing.

This class was definitely challenging but there are a lot of extra credit opportunities to make up for it. For the tests, make sure that you do all of the readings and know the details and to pay attention to the graphs on the slide. The material itself is very interesting but she is a difficult professor

Okay Ford isn't THAT bad as everyone is saying. Yes, she explains things weirdly, doesn't know how to answer student's questions, and some of her test questions are worded weirdly, but I honestly don't think it was that bad. Just understand the experiments, read the exam questions carefully, and go to TA OH if you have any questions.

Exams were unnecessarily reworded. Very strict with deadlines. Very enjoyable class, but an awful lecturer. Makes the class material more difficult than it really is. Worst experience with a professor at this school.

Lecture slides are extremely oversimplified, while tests are extremely hard. Class average on tests was never more than 75. Test questions are really and I mean really tricky. Answer choices were very ambiguous. This class requires a lot of studying, a lot of sacrifice. I 100% think you are risking your GPA with this prof. Take someone else.
