Reviews of professor Barbara Stern

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Stern is definitely stern (in a good way). She's very organized with her lectures and grading criteria. Yes, her lectures are long, but she teaches EVERYTHING that's on the test. Also, look at her "suggested" videos/readings, they'll be on the test as well. 3 papers (that are doable), 10 quizzes, and 3 tests including a cumulative final.

Professor Stern is the most blatantly ableist and homophobic professor I have ever seen; neurodivergent, queer, and disabled folks, beware. She made fun of my stimming in front of the entire class, tried to ignore accessibility accommodations, and after I brought up an issue, she ignored me for the rest of the semester and would not answer me.

Her assignments were detailed and straight forward. I did not use the textbook but it would have made the class easier if I did. There were 10 quizzes, 3 writing assignments, 2 exams, and 1 final exam. For a 16 week course, it was manageable. I recommend taking her!

great professor! definitely a lot of reading. you have to comprehend the material in order to pass quizzes and exams! lecture heavy and you have to pay attention to it otherwise you'll miss important information needed for the quizzes and exams. this is entry level class to pyschology so expect a lot of history and learning the brain.

10/10 class. Psychology is a tough class but she gave all the resources she could. Youll do fine as long as you apply yourself and pay attention. She was really engaged with the class and was funny and so nice.

Great Professor! Interesting class and an easy one! She recommends a Textbook but I didn't use one and I got an A in the class! Just do your work and you should be good!

Easy A, if you just do the work. Module tests aren't too difficult, if you pay attention to chapter readings and her module notes. Very nice and understanding. PAY ATTENTION to her due dates/times. I misread and almost missed a test! Final was lengthy, but not difficult.

Professor Stern had a wonderful personality but didn't teach anything. I relied on myself and had to end up reading the massive textbook she assigned because she rambled in class. She was rather disorganized, and tested on things she never talked about. Read the textbook if you want to pass!

Although the class is very quiet, she knows how to keep the lecture interesting. Learning about why humans act the way they do is a very interesting topic. The gorilla experiment and the "My Wife and My Mother-In-Law" image was very intriguing.

An ideal professor to get classes with.
