Awful

She was the most difficult professor I've ever encountered. She doesn't provide much in the way of feedback. And when she does, it's in a way that makes you feel inferior. I never got to meet her in person as I was taking her course online, but I really did not enjoy her manner of teaching. She wasn't friendly and seemed to expect you to know it all. If you're not up to speed with the psychology material, you might struggle in her classes.

Sarah
Elliott, Ph.D.
Reno, Nevada
I am scientist with expertise in designing, implementing, and analyzing data for psychological studies. I am a passionate advocate for designing studies with real world applications, and contributing to institutional changes using a data-driven approach. I am skilled writer for scientific publications and grant applications. I have superior interpersonal skills as a colleague, teacher, and mentor.

Experience

  • Roosevelt University

    Assistant Professor

    My primary responsibilities are (1) to teach and mentor undergraduate students, (2) to conduct original research, and (3) to provide service to the university.

    My teaching style is largely driven by the fact that students are individuals with unique goals, different learning styles, and importantly, are investing good money to the University in hopes of gaining a valuable education to guide them along their own path. My courses are carefully prepared to include part lecture, part group work, a strong focus on the scientific process, and multiple opportunities for student self-assessment. The diverse student body and social justice mission of Roosevelt have encouraged me to make the topics covered in my courses apply to real-world socio-economic issues.

    My lab is currently interested in how individual differences directly alter an individual’s every day experience of, and interactions with, the natural world. For instance, if color appearance relies on spatial cues (e.g., perceived 3-D structure or luminance contours; Elliott & Shevell, 2013), how is color appearance different for individuals with reduced spatial vision in one eye (e.g., amblyopia) or both eyes (e.g., due to aging)? In addition, studies are underway to investigate how individual differences in perception relate to individual behaviors in areas beyond vision, such as social cognition. A current line of research focuses on how visual processes mediating face perception are influenced by social attitudes about members of a perceived out-group.

    I am the faculty adviser for the Roosevelt University Psi Chi chapter, a member of three psychology faculty executive groups, and a member of the university Title IX committee.

  • University of Chicago

    Lecturer

    Taught advanced course titled "Sensation and Perception" for over 70 undergraduate and graduate students. The focus of the course was the neuroanatomy, physiology, and psychophysics underlying human sensory perception. Received an overall instructor rating of 4/5.

  • University of Chicago

    NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow

    Color appearance is not determined exclusively by the spectral properties of an object but depends also on the context in which an item is viewed. In one study (Elliott & Shevell, 2013), I evaluated how the color appearance of a light changed when perceptually segmented from its surroundings. This study showed that changes in color appearance significantly differed when the light was perceived to be a separate object (e.g., an illusory triangle) compared to when the light was perceived to be part of the surrounding context (e.g., the “pac men” shapes used to create the illusory triangle in the first condition were rotated 180 degrees). Findings indicate that the color appearance of an object is influenced by cortical neural mechanisms sensitive to object segmentation cues.

    The previous findings seem consistent with form-cue invariance, where form is represented by the same neural mechanism regardless of the stimulus generating a perceived contour. One current study (Elliott & Shevell, in preparation) aims to clarify whether the neural representation of objects is form-cue invariant for edges or for the complete, integrated object.

    Evaluate success of current market segmentation, recommend changes in segmentation & offers based on statistical models.

    Create & implement controlled tests to evaluate whether new offers introduced to guests increase ROI.

    Evaluate slot performance based on game statistics, floor placement, & player patterns to recommend changes to the slot floor.

    Create & implement controlled tests when new products are introduced to enhance casino atmosphere and guest comfort.

  • UC Davis

    Graduate Student Researcher

    My graduate work combined psychophysical techniques with advanced optical imaging devices, such as Maxwellian view and Adaptive Optics (AO) apparatuses, to test specific hypothesis about visual performance throughout the life span. Much of my published work addresses two major questions about visual perception throughout the life span: (1) what causes visual sensitivity losses with aging, and (2) do visual neural mechanisms compensate for these losses so as to maintain a nearly constant visual experience of the world?
