Reviews of professor Ann Rumble

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Rumble knows psychology, but she is flawed. She is disorganized and gives confusing instructions. She also grades leisurely. You never know where you stand. There are tons of filler and group assignments. The answers to the quizzes and exams are also online, so you're never encouraged to study. You will leave the course having learned nothing.

Dr. Rumble is one of the best psychology professors at NAU. This class is discussion heavy, so knowing the material and participating is important. She was never super clear on grading criteria, but as long as you show up and know what you're talking about, you should be fine. Be prepared for big, essay question tests though. Overall, she's great!

I don't get why she has such low ratings. She is a super entertaining lecturer and offers a plethora of resources that you can use to succeed. She has also been understanding on occasions where I've had to ask questions or ask for help or extra time for a specific reason. As long as you care about school/are a decent student, you'll do great.

Do not take professor Rumble if you think you are a good writer. She assigns an ungodly amount of writing assignments and doesn't even grade them herself. She sets unrealistic expectations for writing (such as no parenthesis, quotes, or even contractions). However, her assigned readings all contain these things. Her graders are harsh as well.

Ann Rumble's class makes no sense. Her syllabus does not have accurate dates and she never updates it. Her instructions are awful and it is so hard to keep up with what is happening in this class. I suggest not taking any of her classes if you don't want to be completely lost and confused the whole time.

Ann obviously tried to make the class engaging, and it was. Only problem for me personally was that the class was too big, so it was harder to learn & focus. She is sweet, kind, caring, and understanding. I would take her again if she had a smaller class. Her assignments werent too much or too heavy-There is a book but I passed her class without it

I had Rumble in the Spring of 2023 for Social Psy, and the class was very interesting/fun. Many people did not show up for the lectures, but the ones that did passed with flying colors.
