Reviews of professor Taryn Grieder

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Just finished a class with Dr. Grieder and she was really good. I'd totally do a course again with her. The seminars with the TA were ok but the timing of them weren't ideal and wish we could have just had a longer lecture instead.

DO NOT take PSY493 with prof. Grieder. She is awful at explaining concepts. I spent days watching one lecture because she does a horrible job of explaining what is on the slide. You have to read the textbook and google everything to have a slight understanding of what is going on. The concepts are already hard but she makes this course impossible.

Dr TG is super knowledgeable about the brain and it shows in her lectures. You don't need the textbook if you attend lectures and take good notes. There's a lot of information in this course for a 2nd year class, but it's really interesting stuff.

Her class was ok. Got an A. Asked for a letter of recommendation and she declined!!! Honestly dont understand her

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Really clear that she knows the material and is super knowledgeable on the subject. Lectures were good for the most part, but at times became a bit monotonous and tedious to get through. I actually felt like the assignments tested my knowledge and were well crafted, which doesn't happen often. Tests were all very fair as well.

I took 2600 but that wasn't an option. 
Great class and prof. Very funny and related concepts to life. 
TA was too strict for grading on tests, but easy on assignments. 
Pretty easy course, so I'd recommend!

She is a great professor, and is definitely one of my favourites at Trent! definitely look forward to taking more classes of hers in the future!

Laid back teaching style was appreciated. Prof is approachable and answers emails quickly. TA was awesome. Lecture recording posted so u don't have to go to class but have to do participation afterward so need to keep up. There's a lot of writing but enough time and instruction is given. Easy 3rd year course!

This course is tough but really interesting. Dr Grieder shares personal stories that make the course material very relatable. The tests are tough and detailed but she let us have a cheat sheet and re-weighted the tests, and gave a bonus assignment. She answered emails quickly and was accommodating when I had covid. Great lectures, but lots of info.

Easy 3rd year course! Instructor seems busy but answers emails very quickly. TA was great. No textbook which is nice. You don't have to go to class because she posts the lectures but there's participation for each class that has a due date, so it helps you keep up.
