Reviews of professor Emily Zale

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was interesting, especially if you have an interest in different therapy styles. Attendance isn't really mandatory but it's a lot easier to get an A if you go. The tests were easy in my opinion if you go to class and study. The material itself isn't difficult either. Prof. Zale gave us a lot of extra credit points too which was great.

Only graded by three tests, lowest grade dropped. Lectures can be long/boring at times, but interesting. Using the book to study for tests helped me

Solid class. Zale is a good lecturer and cares about what she is teaching. Only take this class if you are interested in therapy, otherwise you may not be motivated to study. Tests are fair and are mostly lecture material, she even shares content guides. Some questions come from the textbook publisher and can be found online.

I took psychotherapy with Dr. Zale. Super knowledgeable in the subject, great lectures. Tests made up the entirety of the final grade but she gives you 1 drop including the final, and the tests are easy if you study properly. Great balance of not very difficult but can learn great information if you want to

Loved her! Genuinely cares about her students and is so good at explaining lectures clearly. She also creates learning guides for each chapter that are so helpful for studying. If you genuinely pay attention in lectures and study, you can get an A or at least an A-. Graded only off of 3 exams and 1 quiz so studying is very important.

Great professor! Very straightforward when explaining the material, which makes it easy to understand. The textbook is useful for defining terms further. 4 tests and one gets dropped. Good class if you want something more laid back but still meaningful.

Doctor Zale is a wonderful person to take a course with. She is easily accessible outside of class and provides Panopto recordings up to 24 hours post class for people who are sick. She doesn't take attendance but showing up to class if very important. There isn't much to be graded by so doing well on tests is crucial.. and some extra credit!

Very easy class. I never showed up except for tests and got an A. Class is based on 3 tests, there are 4 total 1 gets dropped and you can drop the final. I only read the textbook and managed to do really well on all of the tests.

Formats all her lectures the same way which makes the content easy to follow. She does require a textbook, but I never read it and got an A. She has a thorough knowledge of the subject and tries her best to make the lecture engaging. Tests are not overly complicated and are easy to do well on as long as you go to class and study.
