Reviews of professor Rachel Pearl Hamel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
There are 10 pop quizzes so you need to attend class on a pretty regular basis. Lectures are kinda boring because she just reads from the slides, but she posts them on canvas. I got at least a 96% on every exam, they are verbatim from the powerpoints and the book. Pop culture paper at the end is fun. She is super nice and accommodating!

Dr. Hamel is one of the sweetest professors I have ever met. She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. There are 4 exams and 1 final, with 10 pop quizzes that she corrects in class. Super easy class and really worth it! I will definitely take her again if I can!

Dr Hamel is easily one of the best Psych professors I've had at PSU. She's super understanding and cares about her students. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she does "pop quizzes" even tho she tells you about them, and she usually uses the same questions on the exams. There's 3 extra credit opportunities! 4 exams and a paper as well as the quizzes!

This class is a sufficient amount of work, so don't take if you have a lot on your plate. With that being said, Dr. Hamel is amazing. She's super nice and grades most things for competition. There's 4 hw's, 4 papers, 4 exams, and other labs and assignments. Read the textbook to do well on exams, but no other studying is needed!
