Dr. Westphal is an easy A, but her class is SO boring and SO pointless. We never took one test, and she did not lecture once this semester. Everyday, we had speakers or all-class discussions that never related to subject matter in any way. The speakers simply spoke on topics she found interesting. I would not recommend her....you're in for the biggest waste of time ever!
Nice person, gives extra credit. Tests are challenging but decent. She's not great, but she's not horrible.
Positive:
Good professor.

Is willing to help students anytime
Shows a love of teaching

Comes to class organized
Negative:
Confusing or hard to understand
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Overly difficult tests or assignments
Very nic lady, but is horrible at teaching intro to psych. There are many better profs out there, yet she tends to teach all Intro classes. If you can avoid her, do it. You wont leave her class with much learned.

Westphal is a great professor. Her class was a lot of fun and it was an easy grade. If you take Gen. Psych. be prepared to attend a few things out of class. Lectures didn't contain much info., a lot of test materials were from the reading. Still an easy, easy grade.
