Her lectures were a bit dry, but it was nice that the information wasn't too difficult. The readings are also quite lengthy, but the lectures follow the readings exactly, so pretty easy to skim. Prof. Pflum was very responsive to the class's needs, and I would definitely take her again.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2679421","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:58.750207+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM3NjUyNTcx","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2840399","instructor_name":"Stephanie Carpenter","course_label":"PSYCH403","course_id":"PSYCH 403","course_uid":"course_d7ab287023ed108e85984abd","review_date":"2023-04-18 13:37:57 +0000 UTC","comment":"Grade mainly made up of tests, inquisitives, in class participation questions, and a couple extra credit opportunities.

Not showing up already hurts your grade enough.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2840399","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0}]
