Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Amazing professor! Lawrie thinks of awesome ways to keep students engaged in class. She is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate for psychology. I learned so much from her. One of the best professors. Would definitely take another class with her.

She really cares about her students and is super supportive. For 150L you have to make a study and she was always quick with great suggestions about what measures to use and everything. She made the class fun. Would highly recommend!!

I took Prof. Lawrie for Gen Psych at Westmont, it was an 8 AM class but she always had so much energy it was impossible to sleep in her class. Once when she accidentally posted the test answers online and it was clear most of the class had cheated, she instead took that as an opportunity to have the you get the grade you thought you deserved.

This class is notoriously annoying, but with Smaranda it wasn't bad at all. She's a grad student teaching the course but it's clear she knows the material well and does a good job presenting it to students. She's extremely accessible and very sweet. Class was graded 10% attendance, 15% midterm, 15% final, 15% paper 1, 20% paper 2, 25% presentation.
