Reviews of professor Lauren Philbrook

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I LOVE Philbrook. She genuinely tries so hard and cares so much. She uses videos in all her lectures to help you connect to concepts and understand. She really wants you to do well in all aspects of your life and will do whatever she can to help. It's a hard subject and there's a ton of information but she really helps make it understandable. 10/10

AMAZING!!! Take her if you can. literally best prof. I have had. She cares so much about her students and is beyond willing to help out in any way she can. You do have to do the work, otherwise you won't get a good grade, but her lectures are so good that it is almost impossible to not do well if you go to class

Professor Philbrook is very kind, caring, and organized. Despite this, her portion of the course was pretty dull and unengaging. I often found myself sleeping 1/3 of the way into her classes and the quality of her lectures did not match the difficulty of her exams.

She was a really sweet and caring person who you could tell wanted everyone to succeed, but she gave super hard tests. They pulled from the slides, but very random facts, so make sure to memorize every single thing on the slides, no matter how insignificant it may seem. She was adorable though and would definitely recommend.

She was clearly very sweet and caring but the tests were just way too hard and way too random. Her lectures were great, and it was very easy to talk with her outside of class. The only reason my rating is so low is because of how difficult the tests were. The facts were random, and despite being told we wouldn't be tested on studies, we were.

Professor Philbrook was new when I had her for child psychology, yet she seemed to have more experience teaching than more than half of the professors I've had at Colgate. I will be taking another class with her in the future! She is inspirational and easy to talk to.
