Reviews of professor Danielle Samuels

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Her lectures are clear and concise. Her test has strange wording which can make it hard to understand. Be sure to skim the textbook because her quizzes will most of the time feature something in the textbook that is not in the lecture. She is a huge fan of the Netflix show Big Mouth.

Danielle is well dressed, and thats about it. Her teaching style is lecture heavy, tests are in person and test for memory more than comprehension. The material is boring, it's not a class you want to go to, an easy one to skip. I'd say try to find classes with other professors rather than suffer through it.

I tried to love Samuels after I had her in Psych100 but she's just not for me. She's very educated and well respected but her classes are extremely material heavy. Her lectures can be hard to sit through and her tests are specific and pretty difficult if you're not incredibly prepared for them. Homeworks are opinion based but lots of weekly reading

Lectures are recorded but she will do random in class writings for attendance, 6 total over the semester. Very nice but talks kinda slow. Not an easy A for ap psych from hs, but having that prior knowledge did help a lot. Study guides make you over prepare for tests which are 40 Q multiple choice. Do your work and you'll be fine

I took this as a gen ed and it was definitely an enjoyable experience! You do get lots of homework some weeks but you have multiple days to complete the assignments. TAs were very accommodating if you needed to schedule an exam make-up. Also, go to class there's sometimes graded classwork! Also Prof. Samuels's outfits are so cool!

She is a great lecturer, she goes over content well. attendance isn't "mandatory" but she has in-class writings we do at random times so if you aren't there to do it you're getting marked. The homework=time consuming. the exams suck bcz I would study hard, But every time I would get a 55% (out of 100%!) the exams are nothing like her study guides.

Professor Samuels is a great Professor. She explains well and there isn't a lot of assignments. All her exams are MC and non-cumulatives. She is caring and always takes time to answer questions.

I really liked Professor Samuels. She knew what she was talking about and presented good, easy to understand slides. There was a lot of memorizing which I don't always love, but overall she was great. She was super helpful if you went to office hours too which was really good for me personally.

I was told intro psych is one of the best classes to take, and I'm sure it is...just not with this professor. The class is easy anyways and there is extra credit so getting an A is fine, but take it with someone else if possible. Lectures were boring, she's not engaging, and she made interesting material seem boring
