Reviews of professor Laurie Bayet

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took Child Psychology online and I loved the class. I learned so much and although Professor Bayet is very fast paced and goes through the power points very quickly, I thought she was a great at explaining.

I learned more about the material for this class in my other psych classes than in all of the lectures. The lectures, in which attendance is taken with a paid program called TopHat, are made up of Professor Bayet reading off of the PowerPoint too quickly to take notes, a few TopHat questions, and students explaining the answers. Avoid if you can.

Stuck in her ways, not understanding at all, accused my group of plagiarism and very strict about assignments. Asked us for feedback about the class only to ignore our suggestions. Lecture and participation heavy but no one participates and she just sits there until someone does. Take good notes.

Professor Bayet is an amazing professor. I loved learning about babies and her class actually made me want to change my major. Class is sometimes a little repetitive, but you learn a lot. As long as you do the work and pay attention in class, you should get a good grade. Would take her again!

Have a C in the class because o participation. Took this class thinking I would learn about basic infant development and psychology and instead all we do is analyze scholarly articles about infant research. In addition, she is making us do this term project for a grad school fellowship, which nobody understands. I regret taking this class so much.

One of the hardest professors. Taught so much material that included neuroscience and very science-based material that she did not always explain well. Her tests were impossible and she blamed all of us for getting bad grades and even told my class that we were getting the worst grades she had ever seen on her tests in this class. Kind person.

If I could give her a 0, I would. She just doesn't know how to teach. No one participates in her class and she makes you pay for a textbook AND TopHat.

Not an experienced professor. Was a pain to take this class. Every class period was typing notes for the entire time. Did not learn anything. Made me want to change majors. There were three exams -- all curved but 10+ pts. Not a typical psychology course at AU. No extensions. Too much content. Extra resources were not helpful.

Prof. Bayet is a great professor and makes content interesting.

Lectures were just powerpoints and a few readings. She would break us up into breakout rooms and no one would talk which made it super awkward and useless. Overall, the content was interesting but I would recommend finding someone else to take this class with.
