Reviews of professor Barbara Stern

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I really liked her she made psychology super interesting and fun. She engaged with students and encouraged questions. She was always eager to answered any questions and help. Extra credit on the final exam was only available if you participated in discussions and had high attendance & never missed a deadline. Class and tests were pretty easy.

Professor Stern wasn't anything special, she was just fine. If taking online classes beware that everything is due at 10am which is kind of confusing if looking at it from Canvas dashboard. She didn't really teach just posted the material (powerpoints). Overall it was just an okay class.

Professor Stern is so sweet and hilarious! I'm not really a fan of psychology but she made it really easy to understand this course. She provides powerpoints for each chapters so read that and you can literally pass all her quizzes and exams.. Take her you seriously won't regret it:)

her test and quizzes were super basic I'll say that to begin. What made her class hard is there is A LOT OF MEMORIZING.. like A LOT! so make sure you have the capacity to memorize a lot of stuff. She swears you need the textbook, and I used it, but honestly, you only need it if you want an A+. If you're fine with a B+ or a low A you don't need it.

Professor Stern is easily the best professor I've had. I got an A- in her class because I slacked off. She has online quizzes about every 2 or 3 weeks, about 3 assignments, and 3 exams. Her lectures are really good just pay attention. Exams are easy if you read the textbook and her lecture notes, mostly definition-wise. Take her class!

Professor Stern's class was absolutely fascinating. Her lectures are incredible; you will learn a lot if you show up and pay attention. I highly advise reading the textbook chapters and taking notes on them if you want the highest grade. She is interactive and has so many interesting psychology stories. I would certainly take her class again :)

I love Professor Stern. She's knowledgeable, understanding, and liable. I have had a great experience with her... pretty easy A if you sit through her lectures. Her lectures were made to be super interesting and fun. Very applicable to everyday life. I didn't use the book much because she lectures in class. Accommodated my absences from covid.

She does assign a textbook but as long as you pay attention to her lectures, which are engaging and make it fun to learn, you don't need it. She assigns frequent online quizzes and a couple papers that are easy to complete. Attendance isn't a grade but she does keep track of who attends it as an extra credit participation grade.
