Rebecca Treiman

4-6 hrs/week

Wonderful, engaging class. Professor was super engaging and the content was engaging. We had a good amount of reading and a good amount of assignments but worth it for the content. (I am not big into taking notes or paying attention in class but this class really was super engaging).

She reads off her slides for her lectures and bases her exams off of her slides AND student presentations, then for your assignments she will grade you super ambiguously but super strictly and take off 15%+ with the note being "some aspects could be better". She is also like 80 years old and struggling to understand basic English. She is sweet tho

this class is atrocious. content is already pretty dry and esoteric, but Treiman somehow made it all way worse. TONS of weekly homework essays, 60 pages of very dense weekly readings, and lectures/slides content barely even align w/ the $350 textbook. assignment prompts are convoluted and poorly explained. btw u can't pass/fail this class. AVOID

Dr. Treiman was terrible and uninspiring. Of course I feel awful that she had health problems, but she was absent for the entire first half of the semester. Despite having different sub professors come and teach us each week, Dr. Treiman was still the one to grade our assignments and write our tests. Get ready for a LOT of homework and hard exams.

SO much work. Way too much, feels like a writing intensive course when it's not. Makes you write essays on the hundreds of pages of reading she assigns and then other essays on top of it. A ridiculous amount of work for a psychology class. You have to be participating. Took the class for three weeks and dropped- waiting for another professor

Tests are difficult and WILL take the entire time to finish, but she offers lots of chances for review. Had reading quizzes every class but they were super easy, just need to skip the chapter before class. Lecture was kinda boring. Not my favorite class but not unbearable.

good professor, small class, knows subject matter well

She is one of the most uncaring and unhelpful professors I have ever taken a class with. Her lectures are long, but her lecture slides barely provide any information about the topics. She gives extra credit through the hw, but barely gives full marks so it ends up hurting your grade. Would never take again.

Professor Trieman seemed to be more focused on her research on language development than the material in the text, or the individual concerns of her students. Perhaps she should stick to the lab?

Developmental psychology sounds like fun, right? And it could have been, but no. Professor Treiman makes lectures painfully boring, and the tests don't always cover the material covered in class or in the book. Becky T. definitely does not get my seal of approval.

She changed the grades for our course without telling anybody.. 2/3 of the way through the semester, causing many people to get lower grades than they should have.

Very knowledgeable and clear. An interesting course. Tests and assignments are returned promptly.
