Amy was a good professor and very kind. The lectures were slightly boring and the readings that were used were not engaging and also boring. The assignments were interesting, fun, and easy. Overall, great class as long as you don't mind being a little boring.Rate My Professors ↗
Easiest class I've taken at UW-Madison. I barely did the readings, but always showed up for lecture and got an A on every exam. Lectures can sometimes drag on because some of the material seems like it's common sense, but Prof. Bellmore has an enjoyable teaching style & clear passion for her job.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Bellmore is a really good professor. My only complaint is that your grade in the class relies heavily on the exams and the exams are really subjective.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor is nice but too high a grading scale for this class for the few things that are graded. Also doesn't give any type of prep for exams which is frustrating. Must read the textbook to do well on exams. Overall decent class but how it is structured is not the best compared to other ed psych classes.Rate My Professors ↗
This class was a pretty regular Ed Psych class at UW. However, Amy clearly stated that if you do not read the assigned readings from the book you will not get an A. The tests were not hard but again if you do not do the reading (its a lot) you will not get As on the exams and you will not get an A in the class. Also, an A is a 94 and not a 93.Rate My Professors ↗
I took Amy's class at 8am as a power lecture. Honestly, the lectures were really boring. Maybe it is because I had this class so early in the morning (the content was interesting, but not the actual lectures). I ended up skipping a lot of the time and did just fine. Also, the slides are so boring and the class seems like it drags on forever.Rate My Professors ↗

Past student reviews · Amy Bellmore
Amy Bellmore taught this course as a discussion-based class rather than a lecture, grading primarily on weekly discussion board participation. Students read roughly three research papers per week, with one review describing the readings as interactive and another finding them boring. Assignments were described as interesting and easy, and Bellmore responded to emails quickly.
