Kristen Hamilton PSYC344 Anonymous 05/18/2021 This review was submitted while most classes were online during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not be indicative of a regular semester.	If you are going to take PSYC344, keep in mind that the topics discussed in this class are not so happy and cheery and bright. The class is about stress, addiction, disease, etc., and will not have you feeling awesome afterwards. Dr. Hamilton was very nice though, and her class was not that hard. No aspect of the class took up too much of my time. Strangely, she read off her slides verbatim. It was as if she did not know anything about Health Psychology beyond the words on those slides. Since the class was completely asynchronous and she just provided the videos that she recorded last year, I didn’t feel much of a connection to this class. Depending on how you perceive it, it’s either an Easy A or a waste of money.
Kristen Hamilton PSYC489U Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/01/2020 This review was submitted while most classes were online during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not be indicative of a regular semester.	Dr. Hamilton is the sweetest lady, but not a great teacher. I feel like she does not have enough knowledge of health psychology to be teaching a whole class on it. Every lecture is her reading off the slides or literal direct quotes from the book. She is not a hard teacher or grader, but if you actually want to learn this is not the class to do so. I think the TA's are more of an expert on health psychology than she is. She does her best to make the class engaging with discussions and class activities, but this class falls way too short. I expected way more for a 400 level class
