Reviews of professor Olivenne Skinner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Skinner is cool and dresses well. She is very passionate about psychology and shes okay when you get to know her. Just work hard and you will get a good grade.

To be honest, she makes an interesting subject so tough for no reason. Shes full of it, avoid taking her if need be. Shes too strict and doesnt work with anybody. I love the subject but didnt enjoy the class. Learnt more from the book on my own then I did with her. Her exams suck.

I don't know why so many people are complaining. This class is so easy. All you have to do is read the book and have basic comprehension skills. Exam questions are straight from the book and she goes over the material in class, too. I you're the kind of student who is willing to put in some study hours, then I definitely recommend her class.

She gave 1-2 quizzes per week that sometimes refer to the textbook, sometimes lecture. I read the textbook max 3 times and was able to get 70/80/90s on the quizzes just from memory and guessing. Her exams can be a little tricky and our grader (not her) for papers was kinda picky. Her lectures are very interesting! You will be fine in this class.

I took Dr. Skinner's class in 2016 while at Penn State just as an FYI. She was without a doubt the worst professor ever. Showed up 30 minutes late to our final, made a student cry in class because the student wasn't sure when they were presenting and she just was not a kind or caring person, she didn't care about her students at all. Don't take her

All tests and quizzes are based solely off the book so it's not hard to understand concepts and do well, but for some reason Dr. Skinner makes the class way harder than it has to be. Lectures are mandatory as pop quizzes count for a grade, but lectures are a waste of time as the information comes word for word from the textbook.

This is the worst online course I have taken. Professor Skinner is incredibly uninvolved with the entire class making me wonder what she is getting paid for. You will likely never hear from her unless you reach out first. She makes her tests impossible to do and gives absolutely no leeway in anything, including emergency situations. Avoid her!!!!!!

Very rude and condescending professor. I took her Developmental Psych course, and almost the entire class failed the course. She insisted that the course was easy, and that our poor grades were our fault. I can confirm the class was very tough and she did a poor job at explaining the materials. Take another professor.
