Reviews of professor Katherine Vanderau

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Others have mentioned her focus on formatting and it's true. I worked about as hard as I could on discussion posts and rarely got 100% on them. Pay attention to APA because she pushes it a lot. Otherwise the amount of work is average but content is very interesting. Her feedback is also pretty useful, just is a stickler for formatting so watch out!

Abnormal psychology is one of the more interesting psychology classes one could take and somehow she found a way to make it extremely boring. Her weekly discussion questions/prompts are very generic. Yawn. No room for discussion. She also hammers APA down your throat. Appears to base grade more on APA formatting rather content. Not a fan.

Had this professor for this class, as well as PSY3400 and it's the same thing--the subject matter of each class is interesting, but the amount she focuses on APA formatting and having to use the textbook as a mandatory source to cite even in the weekly forums is a downer- takes away the excitement of the class when having to worry about formatting
