Dr. Hampton makes her classes student-centered, encouraging class discussion as much as possible. Most classes are divided into three equal segments, with exams covering each third of the course. Since students have different learning styles and strengths, exams will include a variety of formats: usually they are divided between multiple choice and essay questions. As a clinician and community psychologist, it is important to Dr. Hampton to encourage a safe and positive class environment where people can enjoy interacting with other.
