Reviews of professor Rakel Larson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This teacher has got to be in my top tier of college professors! I have epic test anxiety, but after taking her class and using open notes from her lectures, passing was a breeze! If you just need this class for the credit, and if you are a psychology enthusiast, do yourself a favor and take this class before it fills up!

Very disorganized and assigns way too many assignments to the point where she can't even keep up with grading them. If you fail assignments it lowers your grade drastically, if you pass it raises your grade 0.01%.

She honestly was amazing she was very understanding when I had late work to submit even when it was late by like 3 weeks. I would say not to wait last minute when you do the final paper. Always watch the lecture videos so much information, she simplified. Great professor honestly.

Professor Larson is amazing! The work is never too much, and there is plenty of time given to complete it. I would say that the lectures are pretty long, but you can watch them at your own pace. There is only one paper throughout the course and it is pretty simple. You have one quiz and one discussion board each week.

Class was overall very easy. She would put all the lectures online and the lectures covered the material very well. When there was anything confusing to do, she had a video to explain how to do it. I took the online course, and it took time doing the assignments and exams but if you go over the slides the class is easy.

rude and very inconsiderate

It's a research psychology so that's why its difficulty is 3. The professor replied quickly & understands if you need more time on something (gives extension). The workload is stressful but its how its gonna be in the field as well. Big research paper at the end that she breaks into parts to receive feedback. Some assignments can be confusing tho!

Dr. Larson is great. Class is very straightforward and interesting. There is an open note quiz each week (multiple choice and true/false), a 2-part discussion post, and every 3 or 4 weeks there is an exam (open note). There is 1 essay at end of semester (2-4 pages). Easy and interesting class, Dr. Larson is wonderful. :)

Professor Larson is a great teacher! I am so glad that I was able to be registered in her class when I was placed on the waitlist. All quizzes and exams are open-book, which makes this class easy to pass. Her lectures are optional to attend, and you can print out the lectures until you can keep them as a reference. I recommend taking her for Stats.
