    Her class is only graded by four exams and SONA research, but that is only 5% of your grade. There is no homework. This class is pure lecture. Overall, she isn't a bad professor. Her topics are interesting, and you can quickly tell she is knowledgeable in this field. However, I don't recommend taking it if you don't learn well by lecture.

    Great lecturer. She's good at making you understand a concept by explaining the ideas around it. If you can have her in person for 2010, go for it. But don't take 2500 online - she doesn't really know how to use technology and the asynchronous content feels soulless and messy.

    If you study the study guides she gives then you will make As on all the exams. You can also find the open note quizzes on quizlet. Super easy A and the material is interesting.

    The worst professor I have ever had. She only talks about irrelevant topics during class and when it comes time for the test she expects you to know what is on it. You are basically paying to teach yourself. Do not recommend.

    She is not a good lecturer, she can not stay on track at all. She cannot easily communicate with her students, and often confuses herself in lectures when trying to explain herself or the instructions for the assignments.

    Dr. Jorgensen is not as bad as people make her out to be. She is always willing to meet with you outside of class, either in person or on zoom, if you need help. Attendance isn't mandatory; you should attend class as most tests are based on things covered in the course. If you show up and actually work to get the grade you want, you will do fine.

    Honestly, a lot of people give her crap but I think she was a great prof. She may be distracted a lot of the time but she teaches well. She answers your questions and is very sweet. Her tests are very lecture heavy so take good notes, though it's hard with her rambling. It was pretty easy to get an A, as long as you actually watch the lectures!

    I want to come on here and try to outweigh some bad reviews. I absolutely loved her class and the material was interesting. If youre not interested in psych you wont do good period. it requires a lot of memorization and willingness to try hard to learn the material. I basically made a 100 in the course, its not impossible!

    Psych 3060 should be easy, but during class she barley teaches and is easily distracted. She wonders why nobody shows up on zoom but it's because she rambles about irrelevant things for 40 minutes. It's possible to do well if you study ahead of time. The material is interesting.

    She is someone who you have to get used to, but I really enjoyed her class. If you're interested in psychology at all, her lectures will be interesting to you. 80% of the test material comes straight from the lectures, and the other 20% comes from the book (and she gives you the exact pages to read). I didn't read but did well. Definitely recommend

    The class should be an easy A, but the way she does things is horrid. She doesnt seem knowledgeable on the content of this class. I believe the tests are designed to be open note but, students are not allowed to use notes. She also puts tricky questions on the exams that literally make no sense so she has to go back and give points out.

    PSYC3060 - She seems very sweet but lectures are all over the place. Very hard to keep track of what she's talking about - goes off on tangents. The tests answers are not clear and she has really poor grading policies. However, this class is not a lot of work and mainly memorization if that's what you like. I will NOT take her class again.

    Very uncommunicative. Does not post your grade. Had a medical emergency and she could care less. Do not take her if you want a ounce of sympathy or understanding.

    If you skip class, you will not do well. Your grades mainly revolve around four exams that test you solely on material from lectures. She does not post lecture notes or recordings. She is a little scatterbrained, but she has a point with her rabbit trails and they usually help explain concepts better! Show up and study, and you will do amazing.

    I would NOT recommend taking this class with Dr. Jorgensen unless you absolutely had to and had no other choice. She is EXTREMELY scatterbrained and hard to follow. She gives you exam hints at the end of every class on what sections in the book to focus on but that's really the only thing that has helped me in this class. Not even that much.
