Reviews of professor Peggy St. Jacques

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
St Jacques class had a lot more content that most psych 104 classes normally have. We would sometimes have 18 videos to watch per week, with some videos being 30 minutes and you wouldn't be able to speed it up. Tests were also harder than psych tests should be but definitely doable if you put the effort in. Other psych classes were much easier.

Lectures are boring but she tries to make it interesting with demos. Adapted teaching to fit post-midterm feedback and I respect that. Lots of readings so I stopped doing them, turned out fine. No textbook needed. Easy weekly writing assignments. If you study her slides, midterm and final are easy. If you're looking for an easy A, take this class.

Professor St Jacques had good and engaging lectures, which made the content fun to learn. However, had too many "guest" lectures and exams were really long. Some questions can have more than one answer, in which case she removes the question. Kind of felt like we didn't have a prof, as she would communicate only during midterm and finals season.

Loved her lectures! you can tell she put a lot of effort into the online format and I appreciate her so much for that. I hope I get her again.

This class was delivered asynchronously but honestly it felt like we didn't even have a prof. She interacted occasionally during exam season, but otherwise you are entirely responsible for your own learning. The lecture videos are often very long, much longer than if it was an in person class, and reading the textbook each week is also necessary.

lectures are dry and the content isn't very well organized

Ms. St Jacques seemingly ignored one of my emails on an important topic. Only after emailing again did she respond. A complete lack of professionalism. Someone who was a former student for a long time should know kids pay good money for their education and should not be ignored. 10/10 would not recommend her as a prof.
