Reviews of professor Erica Gelven

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
TAKE HER! I took the 3 hour class and would recommend because you get out early every class (normally after 1 1/2 or 2 hours tops). It's honestly pretty interesting and very easy. Take home exams that you can use your notes and an essay that she tells you about in advance. She cares about her students and understands we have other classes.

Professor Gelven is amazing. She really cares and trys hard to make her class engaging. She answers any and all questions and uses real life examples.

Love Professor Gelven, very engaging. I'm not as interested in Child Psych as I am other fields, and yet I came out of the class excited about what we learning. Tests aren't bad, final was a pretty cool/interesting in-class essay format with an open note component. Attend lectures, can talk fast so take notes on laptop instead of hand-writing.

Professor Gelven is pretty understanding, she doesn't give out homework, but there's a 7-page research paper due around mid-term, the exam is pretty simple as long as you pay attention. She does talk a lot, and gives real life examples

Professor Gelven is a great professor! We have take home exams (3) and a research paper. Her lectures are interesting and she shows good videos to show the idea being taught. Easy A if you show up, no homework except for reading chapters from book and study powerpoints. I would def recommend taking her!

Lecture-heavy course. Easy classes, but the tests you need to study heavily for. There is a curve. The little amount of homework only counts for participation. She is very nice and I would recommend.

She's so nice and caring, and lets you do quizzes at home. Easy work and not lots of it, but she WILL keep you for the full time if you take her for a 3 hour class. She takes about an hour for teaching 3 slides. It's very slow paced, which can be draining. Otherwise you can really tell she cares for her students and is accommodating.
