Reviews of professor Anne Fast

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Fast is a younger professor who is dedicated and takes time to provide thoughtful lectures. There is in-class participation almost every class period. I really enjoyed her class, she was very approachable and funny. I reccomend taking her. She really enjoys her job and you can tell. Lots of opportunity for credit.

I absolutely loved taking this with Fast, I'm genuinely sad this class is over! She's incredibly sweet and is really knowledgeable, and her lectures kept me engaged. The weight on the tests can be a little rough, but they are non-cumulative and she provides lots of material to help you study. Highly recommend!

Anne is new to Western, she's super sweet and cares a lot about her students and always emphasizes to come to her office hours if you need help. She posts her lecture slides on Canvas, but they do not contain all the details she goes over in class, so going to class is highly recommended. As long as you listen and do the work, you will easily pass.

Was pretty nice but sometimes too nice. Could use some self-confidence.

Dr. Fast is an amazing professor. You will do well on the tests as long as you attend class regularly. Easy A.

Professor Fast is new to Western but is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter she teaches. The class is graded fairly heavily on test scores but the tests are multiple choice and she makes what is needed to be study very clear. Attendance is not required but you may find yourself struggling if you skip lectures

Honestly my favorite prof here. She's very accommodating and responds quickly if you have questions, and is clearly passionate about her work and the topic she teaches. I'd love to take another one of her classes if I get the chance.

Dr. Fast was accommodating during COVID-19 and a real gem. You will be graded on participation through discussion posts, quizzes, exams, and weekly article reflections. For the most part, I got through it and it was not exceptionally hard. Tip: time management, don't wait till the day of to complete things; distribute work over each week.

New to Western as of Fall2018 but super fun class. She is super sweet and very positive and her lectures are easy to follow and take notes on. Her tests aren't unreasonably hard and she provides study guides for each exam.

Did not explain things well and was difficult to contact outside of class for help.

Professor Fast was a great first psychology teacher for me. Her class was not the difficult as long as you do the few assignments throughout the quarter and not wait till the end. There is three reading quizzes a week, however they are mostly for participation and not hard as long as you pay attention in class.
