Reviews of professor Samantha Sherwood

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Enjoyed this course a lot she is amazing. Attendance not mandatory but you learn so much from the lectures which she makes fun & interesting. 1 weekly online quiz, 3 exams lowest score dropped & a final. Extra credit opportunities as well. She is always pleasant and truly cares for students. If u have the option to take her, u will not regret it!!!

Samantha is pretty good at teaching. I can only speak for PSY 101, but this class is simply about doing the assignments. They aren't very hard, but I guess it might be easy to let an assignment slip by. Provided you track everything and complete it on time, you will get an A. Not much academic rigor.

The online lectures were very good and easy to follow, ranging from times of 45-90 minutes over the entire course. The lectures covered a bulk of the information needed for the quiz that was due by the end of every week. The readings contained the portion that was left out but nothing insanley difficult.

We mainly had quizzes and discussions every week and then one 8 pg paper and a group project. It can be a lot if your course load is heavy so I wouldn't take a lot of classes if you take her. I messed up in the beginning/middle of the semester and she helped me out when I didn't deserve it so I gotta praise her for that.

There were discussions posts and a quiz every week. We had to write a 8 page paper and do a group project. You have to buy the cengage online access which is like $100+.

will need to buy a Cengage subscription for the book and quizzes. will need to participate in SONA to receive research credit. will need to do 4 unit tests each an hour and about 10 quizzes every week. will have a lot of extra credit opportunities. not hard to navigate but needs participation. not a lot of discussion boards, just a few long ones.

I took this as an elective % I regret it 100%. I feel like I was constantly reading & doing assignments for her class & personally felt like everything was all over the place, it was more work than my 400 major class. Quizzes through the online book. Discussions weekly, 1 OG & 3 responses. You have a 8 pg paper and another paper with a group.

Class was great. It's abnormal psych so the topics are interesting. She has you do 6 discussion posts because its an online class. Also there were 6 quizzes, a film case study (3 pages), and final research paper where you create your own patient. she seems to care a lot about her students and sends weekly announcements/reminders so that was nice

Sherwood is such a nice professor. She is so open to any questions anyone has and makes psych really easy to comprehend. You are required to participate in some psychology research and I recommend getting it done really. And never miss a quiz! Your grade will go down a lot. But overall fun and interesting class with a very sweet professor!
