Lectures were pretty boring; you MUST read the textbook and take information directly from the lecture. Her exams were difficult, but she's a nice person, and the content covered is seriously so interesting in my opinion.Rate My Professors ↗
PSYCH 507 over the summer was great. Material was interesting while still being fully online. The professor was caring and willing to help.Rate My Professors ↗
I honestly really liked having Prof. Pflum. She's extremely familiar with the material but she's kind of hard to reach because she;s not just a professor. Her class is pretty straight forward, but exam heavy. She gave great EC though. Her lectures were very engaging because she used real examples. Pay attention in lec because it covers the textbookRate My Professors ↗
I took my capstone with Prof. Pflum and it was an excellent class. Only one exam and a few other assignments. It was a really interesting and engaging class and I am so glad I took it!Rate My Professors ↗
I honestly really liked her as a professor. As long as you stay up to date on readings, I didn't find this class too hard. Her exams are all based on content from her lectures. She is a very nice lady and I would recommend her to others.Rate My Professors ↗
She is very knowledgeable, but lectures can be boring as the information on the slides is taken pretty much directly from the textbook. She explains everything very clearly and is willing to answer questions.Rate My Professors ↗
