Karen O'Brien PSYC381 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/03/2024	Dr. OB is an AMAZING professor. The class is so interesting and you learn a lot about domestic violence. Lectures are super engaging and there are a lot of guest speakers and an optional field trip to observe a domestic violence court. Dr. O'Brien is extremely organized and on top of things which is great. There is a midterm and a final which are trickier than one may think so definitely study for them. there is one research paper on a DV topic of your choosing and two 2-page application papers. she does take attendance every class and has a strict no-device policy. There is a 1-question extra credit quiz every class about the reading which is a great way to get extra points. Overall super interesting class and great professor.
Karen O'Brien PSYC381 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/10/2024	Dr. O'Brien is a fantastic professor. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and her lectures are always very discussion-based and thought-provoking. There are plenty of fascinating guest speakers, a chance to go observe DV court cases, and then there's the potential to enroll in the optional second course PSYC391 in the spring. This course and her as a professor is one of my favorites at UMD. Truly a remarkable course and wonderful professor, take this class and anything she teaches if you get the chance!
