The class was okay, though more reading heavy than I expected. The exams can be challenging at first, but once you know what to expect, they're not that bad.

I love Prof. English, even though she challenges us. The exams are not very easy, but once you get used to her style, you can get it. She presents her lectures very well (structured). However, her class is kinda speedy and she wants to cover as many things as possible in her lectures. It's reading-heavy. She is strict but responsible. Go to her OH!

Attendance not mandatory but it's hard to keep up if you miss a lecture because she doesn't post the complete lecture slides online, and then asks about extremely specific details from the lectures on exams. Assigned textbook readings are extremely long.

Her courses are very well structured and organized, but the wording of her exams can be confusing. 30% of exam questions draw from the textbook.

The professor is not accommodating with missing lectures, if you do it is nearly impossible to get the material. Lectures are not recorded and if you miss you are expected to go to office hours just to learn. Tests ask about the most irrelevant details that test your memory more than your understanding of the material. Wish hadn't taken this class

I took this class specifically because I'd had such a good experience with Dr. English in a previous class, and my expectations were fully met. She's really engaging and understanding, and having had a weak base in experimental psych she was super helpful in meeting with me to go over questions I had. The final was worth 60% of our final grade tho.

Prof English is an amazing lecturer - she's very engaging and provides fun examples to help students understand the material. To do well in psych of personality, you need to go to lecture and read the textbook because the exams draw from both. You have to work hard to do well but it's interesting and relevant material and I highly recommend it!

Dr. English is for sure one of my favorite professors at Wash U. She adapted the class a lot to help us out with things we noted on our midterm feedback form (namely she included more test prep). She also has some of the most organized lectures, and even though they're an hour and a half I never felt bored in them.

This class is mandatory for psychology majors, so I wasn't expecting it to be fun or interesting. Professor English really tried to make it fun, but the material was really dull. She also went through the material really fast and didn't always explain everything we needed to know for exams.

didn't know what to expect because this was her first year at washu, but she was great! her powerpoints are really clear and great for studying. she definitely tested a lot of material from the textbook (that wasnt discussed in class) but it was awesome how she included lots of videos, activities, and questionnaires in class.
