The professor is a real good teacher even though she is new to the teaching field. There isn't really class work that we have to do but we are recommended to participate. The class isn't that bad although she kind of is a little tough on grading it will all go good if you put effort into it.
Great professor!
I enjoyed being in her class! She's hilarious and has awesome stories to tell during her lectures. She made class bearable and super easy. I would definitely take her class again.
Great class the professor is exceptional. A very enjoyable experience.
She is a great professor and a very inspirational person! Also shows lots of interesting videos!
IF YOU TRY HARD, SHE WILL WORK WITH YOU.
as long as you do the quizzes and show up to class you will pass, you do not really need the book all the quizzes are open book so she lets you use your lap top. very easy to pass
Professor Monteverde is such a great professor. She makes the lectures fun and interesting! She's also hilarious. She gives quizzes after every chapter and lets you use your book and the homework is very easy, you get a written assignment every week based on the lecture and that's it! She is also very kind and caring of her students! Take her!
Professor Monteverde is a really great professor so take her. She is really nice and is clear on when each test and assignments are due. We have four tests in total and also connect assignments. Also we get journal assignments every week but they are very easy. The tests are open note. TAKE HER CLASS SHE'S THE BEST.
She's great! If you're into physcology she'll really help you understand and love it.
I took Professor in fall 2016 she was amazing. Lectures they were straight from the book. If you read the chapters yu will do fine. There were no surprises. You always knew exactly what was taking place in her class. Offers extra credit and will work with you to help you succeed. One APA paper was due at the end of semester
The only homework you really had was journal assignments every week and they really were not hard at all and a quiz after every chapter. She works with you she does give you lots of chances for extra credit , if you don't understand the chapter she always went over it in class. I thought she was a great teacher. I took her hybrid class.
Great teacher! Lots of extra credit!
She loves group activities at the end of every lecture.
she is not very difficult be prepared to participate and attendance is required
Makes the class more social, tends to get off subject but sure has some funny stories that make up for it, and her work is not that difficult but just remember to do it!
She gave students who get low score another chance by giving a lot of extra credit.
Professor Monteverde made my experience in class a memorable one. She is a totally understandable professor and very laid back, also offers many extra credit opportunities. If you're taking PSYC 2301 I would definitely recommend her!!!

Great teacher
All assignments are online, she is very nice and understanding of your grades. Loves to give extra credit so make sure you take advantage of that.
Professor Monteverde is the most unique professor I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She makes her lesson plan fun and interactive by bring up personal experiences she's had that can relate to the topic at hand. She took a typically boring subject and made it actually enjoyable for students to learn about.
The lectures are important but she makes them very entertaining and interactive. She tells a bunch of stories related to the subject so the material sticks well. All tests and homework are online so it's pretty easy if you keep up with it. She is a wonderful professor and I would highly recommend.
Took a 6wk summer class & it was a breeze. The subject itself is VERY interesting and she makes it even more interesting because she always has stories to relate to topics. She wants all of her students to do well, and loves throwing out extra credit opportunities!! There are usually small group discussions, also. Great teacher, take her!
She is a good professor, always on time and ready for class. I just wish t have more practice of the material in the classroom than at home. It seems like everything gets pushed to be done at home and not in class.
Professor Monteverde is such a caring and understanding professor. She truly cares about her student's success in her class, and she offers SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT! Easy class if you do your work well and on time. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Monteverde was by far one of my favorite college professors. Grading is made up of In class attendance, Participation, Examinations, a Research paper, and the online homework. Attendance isn't mandatory but it will reflect on your grade. She also gives PLENTY of extra credit opportunities.
I took Professor Monteverde for Summer Session II and it was honestly one of the easiest classes ever. Everything is due through CONNECT but was able to finish it through the 14 day trial. Test are through CONNECT also except the final is through D2L but open note. One research paper.
Took her for summer class, 1 major research project with a partner. All work was on conncect online . very easy
Professor Monteverde is an amazing professor!!! I took her for summer session and she made it very pleasant and she is very patient woman. She gives extra credit, she also will work with you to help you understand, if you are having trouble!! You will definitely pass if you do what she says!!
Professor Monteverde is a very understanding and fun teacher. Really takes the time to go over all the material and will help tie the material she is teaching to real life experiences. Would definitley recommend!!!
She is an amazing professor! She is so kind and she truly cares about her students and makes sure we succeed in her class.
Great professor. She makes sure every student understand the course. All the assignments, texts and exams are online. Just make sure to come to class, participate, do the texts and exams on time and you will pass this class with a good grade. I will definitely take her again.
She is a very kind person, makes her classes interesting. Understands that most students can get bored easily so she gives it her all in each class. She also gives tons of extra credit so there is no way one can fail. 5 tests, quizzes, online textbook, and 1 research paper.
Professor Monteverde is an amazing, caring professor who really knows her material. I took her class face-to- face, it is very easy course that you cannot fail unless you do not put in any effort at all. Everything is online, all assignments and exams are on an ebook. She gives you many opportunities for extra points on an exam as well.
She knows her material very well, she is a caring professor who really wants everyone to pass the course. She gives out opportunities for extra credit and extra points for an exam! All assignments and exams on located on an ebook that you will need to purchase. This is a very easy class that is very hard to fail if you put in no effort.
Mrs. Monteverde knows her field of study extremely well and is able to explain in simple terms to allow for an actual learning experience, not just test taking. She gives ample opportunities for extra credit. will definitely be taking for the second part of psych.
I enjoyed my time in this class the professor is very understanding and helpful. The textbook is mandatory this is where you will do your homework as well. As long as you got to class and do the work you should be fine nothing too extreme, easy to follow.
I was nervous of taking a bulk class during the summer but it was really easy. Read the book and take the tests online, and she gives plenty of options for extra credit. overall in class there are discussions and she goes over the chapters and breaks it down.
Professor Monteverde was wonderful! She was really helpful and offers a lot of extra credit. She's adorable and always in a good mood. She gives great feedback and is always ready to help and answer any questions you have. I will definitely recommend this professor to everybody. My favorite summer class!
The professor does an excellent job explaining the lessons. An online interactive textbook is required for all the homework and exams, however, the book is extremely interesting. She is extremely caring for her students and will help you during office hours. The lectures were very engaging, and I would highly recommend taking this course!
This teacher is amazing, has the ability to stay focused on the class all the time without getting bored. It uses great variety of bibliography and resources like videos, images, books etc. In general, she is a very good teacher who undoubtedly makes the subject enjoyable.
if you do your work you will be fine, not hard to get an A. very friendly and knowledgeable, uses a lot of everyday examples to explain the lecture. It gets you involve and she is not boring at all.
This professor is terrific. She encourages her students to complete their best work, and she is great at teaching classes. She is the only professor that I've ever had that has classroom discussions every day in the lecture. The classroom discussions help me understand the material better. Also, she gives great feedback.
She is a great professor, she is caring and gives a lot of extra credit. She is very passionate about the subject. Also, in a lot of topics she relates it to her personal life which helps connect with her students.
Very inspirational teacher and a great lecturer. Clear grading guidelines and very fun interactive class. If you are looking for a introductory class to Psychology, this is your professor. She doesn't over do anything and keeps all the information clear and concise. She is also a psychologist so she understands the problems and subjects deeply.
She was a very good teacher where almost all of the homework is online and not very difficult. She shared personal stories about herself that allowed you to connect to the learning environment. Overall, it was a very good class that I would take again.
Great professor. I started this class nervous about the subject, but it's not bad at all with her. There are 5 short and easy exams, group discussions after every lecture that counts as participation grade, attendance is a grade, online connect is graded, one paper and she gives many opportunities for extra credit! Take her!
She was a great teacher. I have always wanted to take a Psyc class and she made me feel very comfortable. The way she related her real world experience with some of the topics made learning the subject very easy. I would highly recommend her. As a matter of fact my daughter might be taking her class in the spring semester if she is available.
Great professor, attend class and do the material that is assigned and you should make an easy A. She provides real world experiences with the lectures and i found the course work very useful.
Professor Monteverde is a very caring, experienced, and sweet instructor who loves discussions and gives (personal) examples to current lessons. She tends to get a little off-topic sometimes but tells great and interesting stories. She will sometimes push due dates back and will often pass out take-quizzes. Totes recommend her, wonderful class!
Professor Monteverde is the absolute best teacher I have ever had. She is very passionate not only about her subject but, also in the success of her students. Take notes, read the chapters, study for the tests. You will have a lot of in class discussions, and a large group essay(start asap!). Not an easy A, but if you work hard you will do well.
I loved being in Professor Monteverde's class, she is so inspiring and motivational. Although, you must do your work to pass, she helps you and reminds you of the deadline frequently. Her real life stories correlates with what we go over in class, so it makes it more interesting and allows everyone to have open discussion.
Professor Monteverde is great! Her class was easy, just show up and read the material. I enjoyed her sharing her personal stories.
She is an awesome professor and she knows her course very well, she gives room for extra credits. Her class is fun and very participatory. Do your assignments and quizzes. It is an easy A.
Professor Monteverde is hilarious. She's a very good professor and is big on lectures! She really cares about psychology, this is her dream! Most quizzes and tests are multiple choice and she lets you use your textbooks. Every week you have to read two full chapters and take a quiz at the end of each one. I would definitely take her class again!
I originally had another teacher that was supposed to teach this class, but something came up and Professor Monteverde took her place. She's great! Very nice, knows her stuff, and cares for her students. She has many stories to keep her lectures more interesting. She's a tougher grade than I thought, but put in the work, and you'll be fine!
The professor is great and understanding. Updates you through d2l all the time and reminds you of the homework you need to do. There is homework every week up to 2-3 homework. But all in all, it is a great class!
Professor Monteverde is great. Easy class. She is passionate about psychology and truly cares about her students. Weekly writing assignments and biweekly quizzes, but nothing to fret. We had one group project and the only test was the final. Excellent at communicating and keeping students informed about dates and syllabus changes.
She cares a lot about each person, she loves to laugh and tell stories and she loves to hear your stories as well, she is some what of a harsh grader but it makes you think better about your next assignment and how you can make better progress!
Professor Monteverde is a wonderful professor. You must do your work to pass, she helps you and reminds you of the deadline because she wants you to pass her class. The journals are an easy A just make sure to do them.
Mrs. A is amazing and very relatable! she will try her best to work with you!
She was a good professor. A lot of quizzes and no tests until the final exam. Keep up with the assignments that are clearly stated in the syllabus and you should make a good grade in the class. She's understanding and all quizzes are open note/book (online or physical).
Awesome teacher. Tells great stories. I enjoy attending this class.
Expect essays in place of tests! If writing is your strength, definitely a class for you. Didn't have any exams.
She is really clear about what is expected from you in order to pass the class. I took the class online and was able to work at my own pace. I would take her class again and would recommend it someone who is looking to learn the material, yet needs the flexibility of an online class.
She is willing to help you pass , she is very caring and is very understanding when you miss class. All of the quizzes your able to use your book and note on the final you are also able to do the same
I took General Psychology online. Professor Monteverde is an amazing professor that takes her time to grade and gives helpful feedback. Class was not hard nor easy. Reading is important for the weekly quizzes. Uploads powerpoints for each chapters. Work hard and you'll pass.
Stay on top of connect and don't be afraid to email of something does not look right. Journals were based on topics that we had not read yet , some weeks it was necessary to read ahead to finish the journals properly. prof. answers emails quickly. I do wish towards the beginning grades were given back earlier so adjustments could be made if needed.
Great professor! would defiantly take again. She gave about five papers instead of Exams. Professor Monteverde is also very caring, she will answer any concerns immediately and she is very helpful.
Great professor, she is quick to respond through email and is available to help at any time. She offers extra credit and clear grading criteria.
Professor Amonteverde, she truly cares about her students. Yes, you will have to read the required chapters but she also will go over each chapter with you to make sure that you have a good understanding of each chapter. She very strong in class participation which will be very beneficial each student. Her lectures are awesome & knowledgeable.
Took her online, as long as you do your assignments on connect and weekly journals (4-10 sentences) your good to go. All the quizzes are off the connect assignments so theirs no reason to fail them, trust me easy A. Would definitely take her again!
This Professor was amazing. She is very caring and gives you chances to help your grade if needed. However the class is pretty easy that you really shouldn't need to. There are a few assignments due every week, journal and quiz. I prefer the journals over having to write papers all semester. even though its online reading counts and is shown.
Prof. Monteverde is great! She cares for her students and is inspirational. We had one big group project, weekly quizzes, and weekly written papers. We had both online quizzes and quizzes written by her, most of which were take-home. The quizzes are rather in depth, so it is necessary to read the textbook. Also, the final was open-book.
Great Professor
Weekly discussions and quizzes. Essay every month, only about 3-5 pages. Very informative and offers many resources to help. Always available via email, and will surely give you some extra credit if she notices your hard work.
Professor Monteverde's soul is just beautiful! Her joy is contagious. You'll learn a lot in this class and her classes and stories are intriguing. Take her!!!!!!! Her tests are open book. She has short writing assignments due each week. Nothing you can't do!
I'm taking the online version of this course with Professor Monteverde, and she is so nice and responsive. She is very quick to respond if you have any questions or concerns. Very manageable class as long as you pay attention to the due dates. Easy A and very interesting class.
I take her online class. It is easy A as long as you do weekly discussion and homework. Quiz every week but easy, test every other week also easy. She gives few extra credit opportunities.
Lots of weekly connect module assignments, a weekly journal assignment, and four tests. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes routine. I would take her again.
Professor Monteverde is awesome! I took the class online and as long as you do you work by the due date, you'll be fine. There are modules and quizzes for each chapter and four tests + a final. You also have weekly journals but they are simple and related to the chapter you're studying that week. She gives good feedback, replies quick, and is nice!
Can be a lot of work to some, but super easy! Easy grader and a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Very great professor and make sure you succeed the class
Great teacher. Very available when you have questions. Knows her stuff and is very smart.
Would definitely recommend! Prof. Monteverde will work with you during tough times, as long as you do your part! Also, she will award extra credit and her willingness to give so much feedback must have took much effort. Overall, as long as you read the material, take all tests, and participate , you will succeed, and receive an A.
Mrs. Monteverde was caring and willing to help us in any way she could, her class was really and when asked for help she was there to help us.
This is a great class to take, you just have to make sure to keep up with the work and participation really counts in this course.
I really recommend this professor for psychology. This course requires lots of reading, homework and quizzes but at the end is worth on receiving an A
great teacher gives many chances easy A if you do your work. Gives extra credit opportunities throughout the course.
I would recommend to take her! Be sure to keep up with the work. Many opportunities to get extra credit.
I enjoyed this class a lot. Most of the subjects that we covered I found very interesting. I enjoyed all the video assignments. There were lots of extra credit opportunities which was nice. I wasn't able to engage in some of the extra credit options due to different religious reasons but there were plenty of other opportunities.
The assignments are not hard if you read the textbook. Everything is really straight forward.
Very good professor gives a lot of extra credit opportunities through out the semester. Gives good feedback. Take her easy class!!!!!
really good professor gives good feedback everything is straightforward gives extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.
The online class was very informative and I enjoyed the course. The Professor gives good feed back, a lot of extra credit, and a fair grader, but get ready to read, and lots of homework.
Professor M. is one of the better online professors I've had. She's responsive to issues our class had and a quick grader. She knew what our needs were and also gave us a clear cut schedule that was easy to follow the entire semester. I was able to incorporate all of the work into my schedule because it was consistent, but also extensive.
Professor Monteverde's online Lifespan Growth & Development class was a breeze. There is lots of homework but it is not difficult. It is very easy to get an A if you actually do your work and submit on time. I thoroughly enjoyed the assignments/projects given. Professor M sticks to the syllabus so be sure to review it & print it to reflect back on.
Professor Monteverde is probably one of the best professors I've had so far. I took her class for the Winter-Mini semester. This class is easy as long as you stay committed. She gave clear instructions and very good feedback. Even though it was an online course, I could see that she really cares about her students. I would take her again !
I took this class for the wintermester online and I must say it was jam packed with work. You have 3 APA style papers to write each being around 7 pages long. I personally would not take her again. My friend took this same class with a different at prof at Lonestar during the wintermester and did not remotely have the same amount of work as I did.
I love this teacher, this was my first time taking online classes and she was great! Very responsive and very quick with grading !
Professor M, was the best! She responded quickly to emails and gave feedback on what you should work on. Her grading was quick and she also followed the syllabus. This was my first time taking a mini-mester class, and I would taker her again!
Professor Monteverde has really good communication. gets back to you quickly via email. Quick grader, clear course work. This is my first mini-mester, and I would take her again. As long as you follow the syllabus & due dates you will make a good grade.
Such a good and ready to help instructor
She is a wonderful Professor. She accepted me in her class even though it was already filled up. She response to email quickly and grade quickly too. She is outstanding .
A great instructor that makes it easy for you to learn and pass
I recently just took this class during the winter mini break, there is a lot of work to be done but prof. M is very organized each chapter and category is due a certain time so make sure you are doing daily homework and quizzes. She grades very quickly and fairly, another important aspect of prof. M her communication is great!
She is so helpful, she reply's to emails less than 3 hour. grade very quick for you to see your grade. She is really a good professor you can trust. I will take this class again if I have to, because she has a kind heart. I am taking a mini semester that will end on the 1/7/18.
She is really helpful, organized and answer to any question you have in a short time. She is very fairly with grading the assignments and provide feedbacks in the most helpful way. I am taking a minimester with her.
This prof is really good. Prepare for a heavy amount of homework if you're taking the winter mini-semester. If you plan out your assignments you will be more than fine. Definitely would take again!
Great Professor, gives a lot of feedback! She wants to make sure all her students pass the class. She responds to emails super quick as well. Overall, her online class is easy!
I took her for a 3-week minimester and she was fantastic! Replies quickly, very organized, very helpful, provided links with helpful info to assist us with assignments. She is everything you want in an online professor! Very interesting course. Would recommend this class and would take her again. Essay papers replaced all tests in this course.
I took this class for a 3-week mini term. This professor is great at replying. She is constantly posting reminders of upcoming due dates which helps keep you on track. There is a lot of reading, but it is interesting. There are five major assignments and no tests only chapter quizzes. I would definitely recommend this professor!!
Took this course as a 3 week winter minimester. There was 5 essays/assignments, a quiz for each chapter, and 2 discussions due every few days. Not very hard of a class but can be a lot of work. Easy A if you work hard!
LaunchPad overload! Dr. Monteverde is a "very on top of it" type of professor. I felt like anytime I had an question about an assignment, I would check my email and she would have already sent out a mass email reexplaining the instructions with more details and links. She a MUST!
I took Professor Monteverde in a 3 week mini. As long as you read the material you can get an A. A lot of assignments but Professor M engages with her class. She gives great feed back and is great with answering emails. She is very clear on what she is looking for. GREAT CLASS GREAT PROFESSOR!
Professor answered emails and questions whenever you needed her help. Course load was very heavy. I suggest not working when taking this mini-mester, there is a lot of work and papers due every two days. Other than that she does not grade strictly and would definitely recommend if your on top of things!
Professor Monteverde is superb, she's caring and has a lot of stories to tell you. She's accomplished a lot in her life, she will lend you the help you need, extra credit and etc.
She is Great! Take her class
She makes class super interesting with talking about her experiences in life. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit and only had one had one APA paper the whole semester which was awesome! She makes it clear what she expects from her students and is very well respected!

Very cheerful and caring. She'll do everything she can to make you pass and homework assignments and exams are easy. She only assigns one short research paper and you get to decide what to do it on. She's very lenient and flexible about your work. She's also a good grader and gives good feedback. Also allows many opportunities for extra credit.
She gives amazing lectures, extra credit works to do and so respectful to all.
She's a very nice person, and caring about her students. Very respectful. Her class is really easy if you do all your work. Her tests, quizzes, and homework are all online. She talks about her life, time to time but it's interesting because you can find out what kind of teacher you have. Overall, if I had another Psychology class, I would take her
Awesome psych professor!!!
She is such a good teacher, very caring and understanding. She works with you if you have stuff going on. Classes are very hands on, group activities daily which means getting to know your whole class. Book is an online book, lots of reading but she's very generous with the online quizzes. Overall, awesome class!
Take her class. She is the best professor I never had.
She's a very nice teacher, funny some might say but overall she's great. She explains everything and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask, she will go in detail if you don't understand something. She's honestly been one of the easiest and most enjoyable classes I've had.
Great Professor, focuses more on if her students understand the material rather than what grade they're are making. However there are countless opportunities to do well and earn extra credit, if you fail it is to your own merit.
She is a very good professor. She does tend to talk about her life but it's interesting because she is able to relate it to what we're actually learning. There is a lot of group discussions but other than that very easy class.
She's a very good, caring and nice professor. All of her homework, quizzes, and tests are online. Do a lot of group discussion. She relates her lectures with her personal life which makes the class interesting. Take her! You won't regret it.

There are weekly quizzes that come from the textbook and weekly journal essays. She really cares about the student's well being and strives for everyone to do well. I'd definitely take her again if needed
Really changed my prospective when taking this class. She uses her own personal experiences to reflect on the topic for the class. Very inspirational and was life changing.
She uses her personal experience to give examples on each chapter of the book. She is also a tough grader but gives amazing feedback. Overall, the class is very easy, just show up and listen.
I loved taking Professor Monteverde. Honestly, best professor I've had so far at Lone Star College. I definitely recommend taking her!!. The only thing you have to do is put in effort, you're in a Psychology class, you're going to speak about experiences if you want to be on your phone the whole time, take an online class.
Well-prepared, abundant handouts, organized teaching and attentive feed-backs. She not only ensures that everyone's learning but also encourages you to participate and be fully involved. Anything but boring, the lecture is always relaxing and inspiring. If you are determined to acquire some good learning she's definitely the one to choose for you
Overall she was such a great professor and is very understanding about any issues you may have
I would recommend this professor to who like to share their experience or discussion. Also, you'll learn various of topic related to psychology. She's a nice and kind professor to willing to work with you if you have any problems.
She has 3 exams and a final online with CONNECT, a journal due every week, and quizzes every friday. She is very nice and understanding. She is sort of lecture heavy, but personally it was fine.
Weekly journals in D2L and assignments to do on CONNECT. Although there are many assignments, they are very easy and take about 20 minutes to complete. Overall she is a great professor, very lenient and understanding if you're unable to attend/miss class. Always in a great mood and cracking a few jokes here and there, easy A!
Best class of my semester! Fun and you will learn a lot without the overbearing workload.
she was very helpful, lots of online homework but do it all and youll pass.
She is very kind to everyone. She doesn't have favorites treats everybody equally. I had her for my summer class 4 times a week. I didn't mind going to class actually look forward !! Make friends in this class, Everyday we would have a little group discussion.
you have to participate it is part of your grade. she provides a lot of extra credit so do it!
Professor Monteverde is awesome. Essay was pretty easy. She has some pretty amazing stories. Easy grader. Inspirational. Exams are on connect. I highly recommend Professor Monteverde. She's better than the other professors
Professor Monteverde is incredible. She floods the class with enthusiasm from her amazing stories, and she is dedicated to ensuring that her students succeed. I especially admire her commitment to matching psychology applicable to our daily lives. Easily one of the best professors I've ever had.
She's very informative, and make sure that everyone is on track with the due dates. She provides extra credit, which is very helpful.
She uses the textbook to lecture during class. She uses a lot of John Green videos. All homework and tests were done online through an online module. She's friendly and has a lot of fun stories to tell. She also uses case studies to help us understand the material. She splits us up into groups for discussion and requires class participation.
This was a Summer class. I was pretty much done with all of my work by the third week of class. I used the 14 free day trial for my Connect assignments and did all 17 chapters during the 14 days. She used the 5 quizzes from Connect as exam grades. This class is almost too easy!!!! Sometimes the class was not interesting but she is a nice lady.
Professor Monteverde is one of the most interactive professors that I have ever encountered during my college years. She is very high in-class participation, and she does want to involve discussion in almost every class. If you take her in person, you must be mentally ready to engage in class. She has fantastic stories that apply to psychology.
She is so understanding, I had some issues, and she was so sweet about everything and didn't let it take away from my grade. I loved class, it was never dull, she used lots of things to help us. She had the best stories that helped me remember what we did in class. Best professor and person I've met in a while! Lots of discussions and extra credit
This class is very straight forward and completely do-able. Prof. Monteverde is very nice, caring, and funny. This class is an easy A as long as you just do the work! Many opportunities for extra credit are given. She communicates well, gives great feedback, and is truly passionate about psychology. Highly recommend!
Is a great professor, her instructions are clear and through. All though you have to keep on top of your work. You have to make sure not to slack, almost all the work is on connect, and the rest is on a paper.
I took Psyc 2301 and it was a positive experience. Mrs. Monteverde provides lots of opportunity to achieve the grade desired. She counts off, in participation, for skipping class and showing up late. Everything is pretty much online, class is just for participation and guidance for the large final paper due at the end of the year.
Professor Monteverde has great lectures. Group Discussions in every class. Everyone has to talk to get credit. Online Homework. Weekly Journals. Buying the book is optional depending on how hard working you are. Many extra credit assignments. She actually cares about her students. Will remember you and gives great feedback.
Prof Monteverde gives very interesting lectures and always in a happy mood. She really enjoys what she teaches. Every class there is a group discussion where everyone participates required. All Homework and quizes and tests are online. Weekly Journals. Many extra credit assignments. She really shows interest in all her students. Great personality.
Prof. Monteverde is a great lovable professor. She cares a lot for her students and gives multiple extra credit opportunities. However, you probably won't need to do any extra credit. All work is online through connect. She also Loves group discussions.
This professor can't stay on topic during class. Lectures are all over the place. Rely on the book or online information. She focuses on her own traumatic past and experience instead of class content.
Monteverde is a very nice and caring professor. She truly is passionate about her class. There are daily journals due, each lecture is over a chapter in the textbook and all assignments are online through CONNECT. Many opportunities for extra credit. IF you do your work and keep up with due dates this is a very easy class. I definitely recommend!
Professor Acinta made class fun and not boring she gives a lot of good information, Extra credit is offer in this class, it was very easy and not too much homework. Attendance is a grade and you will have to participate in group discussions
She is a wonderful person and a wild heart. She tells many many stories and is great with making someone want to be in class as she is quite exciting and truly makes work fun. I highly recommend this professor.
Great lectures, provides extra credit, work at your own pace. Participation does matter, so be prepared for group discussions.
Overall good professor, very understanding. Lots of chances to do extra credit.
This professor really helped me learn more about psychology and human behavior. Her lectures are interesting, and she includes the whole class by asking them questions. She has a lot of experience with therapy and great insight on controversial topics. I always felt included in this class, and I loved the class discussions!
I did not have a huge interest in psychology before this class but I was slightly curious as to why people behave the way that they do or why they do things different than most. Professor Monteverde helped explain a lot of these things with in class discussions as well as providing her own examples (which were definitely informative)
I honestly loved being in her class. I would definitely recommend taking psychology with her.
Great professor. Very easy class.
Professor Acinta is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is very inspirational and does her best to create a judge free zone within the classroom. If you are looking through this page debating on whether to take her or not, I'll save you some time. TAKE HER. You will not regret it, I promise!
She is amazing at making sure you understand and works very well with you, super informative and I love being able to talk in class and communicate with everyone as a team about what we were discussing .
She knows what she is doing and is well prepared for lectures with numerous of life stories that are beyond hilarious. Don't worry about failing, there are plenty of extra credit opportunities available. All tests and homework are online, participation is a big deal, and heavy usage of the textbook.
She is an amazing teacher and does not drive students crazy. Her way to teach is very interesting and you will feel very comfortable too. I strongly recommend you to take her class because she encourages her students with an extra credits.
She's makes sure you have everything you need, and you don't sit in class bored, she's very engageing and hilarious
Took her for the summer and she's a great professor. She's really nice and sweet. Her lectures are easy to understand, she explains them to where you can understand better and also adds her personal experiences. She also gives extra credit. She does discussions at the end where you split into groups and just discuss the questions given.
She is honestly a great professor. She is very smart, she definitely knows what she is talking about. Her lectures are easy to comprehend and she has so many stories to share which makes the class much more interesting. She is very understanding and funny. Certainly a 10/10 from me.
Professor M is amazing! Very empathetic and kind. She was a great professor to take my last class at Lonestar College with.
Professor Monteverde is an amazing professor! She is so caring and really helps you understand the class material. I would highly suggest that you take her for Psychology 2301. She is also hilarious and very captivating during her lessons. Make sure you do all of your homework/quizzes, participate, and show up on time to class.
The best teacher that I had all school year. She is very respectful and social with her students. Work is very doable which mean you can get an easy A if you show up to class and do your homework on connect and journal entries. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities on the first day of class so there is much time to complete them all.
Overall, I did enjoy being part of this elective/course even though that I took it for credit and transfer. I do agree with the teacher that everyone thinks/believes/views things differently. That is for she persuades students to participate or even share thoughts and comments publicly in class. It's a matter of being attentive.
I love how engaged she was with the class
I took professor Monteverde during summer. She is very sweet and understanding. She communicates clearly with the class and encourages us all to speak and share our experiences. Her lectures are fun and her assignments are easy too. Her tests are online and she gives extra credit. I strongly recommend her!
My favorite part about the class was Professor Monteverde's approach to get everyone to open up in class. Most professors give a lecture and give little participation in class. This is the opposite. It gets you more engaged and allows you to step outside of your comfort zone
Great professor! Lectures were always interesting, because she relates everything to real life and always wants input from the students. Very easy to follow and understand the information.
Discussion posts, quizzes and 2 exams. super nice
Professor Monteverde is one of the best professors that I have had during my college years. She gives lots of extra credit opportunities, and she does expect all her assignments to be completed on time. Stay on top of your work and DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON PAPERS. The hard thing about this class would be her papers, but they're manageable.
She is very nice and if you need any help, she will give it to you. You might have to speak up but she teaches good. I would definitely take her again. This is actually my second time taking her.
This professor is the greatest ever! I love her lectures and stories, they help you a lot for the quizzes and the Connect online work. I would definitely take her again!! (:
By far one of my favorite professors. I'm always so excited to go to her class. When ever I am late, I feel like I'm missing out on something fun! Mrs. Monteverde is hilarious and very inspirational. You will learn a lot of material from connect, it is not hard! it takes some time and focus but that's expected. ps: Two ez essays and extra credit
Homework, quizzes, and discussions very easy. Very caring professor!
I took an online class with her. The class was very organized. There were lots of homework, reading, discussions, and papers, but the majority of those were very easy. She was very quick to response back to my emails. As long as you read and finish the assignments, you will do great in this class.
She is an amazing professor!! There is no reason you can't get an A unless you are not doing the work. A lot of extra credit opportunities as well, she is very well at explaining her criteria!! Definitely recommend her
very good professor easy going and funny. Loves to talk about her children and experiences. Knows slang very well. Very knowledgeable about material. Come to class and participate and you will pass.
Very attentive to emails, clear grading system. Lots of reading, but very interesting.
Homework, quizzes, and discussions very easy. Very nice professor!
She is a very attentive and caring teacher. She has the ability to make the curriculum relative to hers/your life. Id most definitely take her again!
This class was very smooth sailing, just come to class and participate and complete assignments and you will pass.
Easiest class you'll ever take in college. TAKE HER
I really liked this professor she is nice and enjoyable. You do have to read the book and do assignments over it but its super easy. One group research paper but not anything hard. There are class discussions every class and she wants you to participation but the topics are interesting so it makes it fun. Really enjoyed her class.
I genuinely enjoy Professor Monteverde's class. She is upbeat, personable, and genuinely cares about her students. One large group research paper and you have to do a fair amount of reading along with some online assignments, but they are pretty easy. She makes the subject matter relatable to everyday life. Would definitely take her again.
Professor Monteverde is a great teacher. She interacts very well with the students. She relates topics to every day life. Assignments are done on connect, very easy. Weekly written assignment, group project. Overall, very easy class. Easy A
This was my second time taking Prof. M. This go round was on-line class Psych 2314, and I must say it was nothing short of when I took her in class room Psych 2301class. She is the most caring, easy going professor a student can wish for. She will work with you in getting your work completed no matter the circumstance. She wants you to succeed!
Professor Monteverde is an amazing professor and is arguably the best professor I've ever had. She is passionate when it comes to her lectures. The class was extremely easy, just do the homework and you will be fine. I highly recommend her to anyone taking Life Growth and Development!
Professor Monteverde is an awesome teacher, very respectful and funny! There is only one paper for the semester and its a group paper, connect homework, weekly assignments due every Sunday, group discussions, and a final. She gives out extra credit which is a big help.
I absolutely loved this professor! I took her in an online course and it was super easy. As long as you do the assignments, which are very easy, on time, your fine! She will help around any inconveniences and offers many extra credit opportunities! Highly recommend!
I love this professor she's absolutely amazing!! We had 1 group project which was really a breeze since we had such a long time to work on it. She gives a lot of extra credit also. We have a lot of group conversations and she grades participation and attendance as well. The textbook is online and you have to buy an access code. Bubbly personality!
By far the best teacher this semester!!! I love that she cares about her student passing the class. Give's you good feedback on every assignment on D2L. I recommend you taking her if your taking Life Span and Development. I learned a lot from this professor. I would take her again.
This teacher is very easily reached and responds in a timely manner. Everything is posted online with the due dates attached which makes it easier to keep track of your time needed to complete the content. Read and participate and you will get an A.
Best professor ever! Very understanding. She cares about each one of her students and does everything she can to make sure you pass her class. Her lectures are really interesting as she incorporates real life stories and discussions to make sure you understand the concepts that are being talked about. Highly recommend!
This is a very nice professor, I love Mrs. Monteverde so much. She teaches the class so fun and kind of easy to understand. She gives out McGraw Hill homework to do. But is very easy. Do your every homework and assignments on time, you will receive a good grade. Also, do your best on final.
she respects everyones opinion and encourages great conversation among peers.
She's such a great professor, would definitely recommend taking her if you want a good grade in Lifespan. She's a joy and she has lots of good stories to tell connected to the lectures. TAKE. HER. NOW.
This class was very interesting and easily to do. Professor Monteverde is very helpful and understanding to your needs and is there to help you! If you have a issue, let her know and she will help to the best ability she can in a fair manor! She does give second chances and is excellent in communication.
Great professor, very clear and specific. Follows syllabus exactly. As long as you do work assigned, you should easily pass.
Great teacher, very caring/understanding and not that hard to get an A. Just make sure you do all the connect homework and show up to class to participate in discussions. Take her!!
She is very nice, caring, funny. Many opportunities for extra credit are given. Her instructions are clear and through. Highly recommend!
If you want to get an A, take this class. Quizzes online. No exams. Show up to class. Group project!! Extra credits
I truly love this professor. She has very entertaining lectures and is so passionate about everything in her class. She cares about her students so much and gives you so much extra credit. Attendance is a grade but this is one class I look forward to going to so I don't mind. Take her if you want an easy A and a great teacher !!
She is a great professor! She truly cares for her students and is understanding about absences or late work if you take the time to communicate with her. The class is an easy A if you show up and do your work. One of the easiest classes I've taken.
If you like group assignments... If you don't like tests... If you like flexibility.... If you like getting an easy A... TAKE HER!
Professor Monteverde is an awesome professor. Keeps you involved and always willing to help and is very understanding. Do be prepared to put in work though, it might not be extremely hard work, but there is definitely work to be done. She will hear you out though if you don't understand something or need some guidance.
Her class is very organized. Most everything is group discussions which makes life easier. Pay attention to the paper, its pretty fun but a big part of your grade. Take her class if you are interested psychology and how that plays into the ageing process!
Professor is so sweet. I was nervous for college because it is my first semester but this class made me feel comfortable. I love how professor allows for group talks about the chapter. It was pretty much easy and I would take her class again and again!
Amazing professor, she is very clear on her syllabus and will let you know in advance what is expected. She offers extra credit and is willing to help you as long as you are willing to better yourself.
she's the sweetest professor and has a way of making the lectures very interesting. She likes class participation during lectures as well
Prof. M is very understanding but the information she gives out can be unclear at times. She changes the due dates often and sometimes the date that is assigned for an assignment will not correlate. Personally, this class is a pretty work-heavy based which seems unnecessary such as multiple essays, projects, and Connect assignments.
Great professor, weekly assignments due every Sunday about a page each. Easy grader just do your work and you will pass. Connect assignments about each chapter, pretty easy just stay on top of them if not can fall behind.
I really enjoyed this class and learned many things about life.
she is very nice and gives opportunities for extra credit
Professor Monteverde is a very good professor. A Mcgraw Hill code will be required for this class. All of our homework assignments are online. Be ready to interact with your peers. Weekly assignments are due every Sunday but she has all of the work for the rest of the semester on D2L, therefore feel free to get a head start on your assignments!
excellent professor
I took her online, but her d2l looks messy. The due dates were not consistent, and several times she made 2-3 connect chapters due in 1 week, and on top of that: discussion posts too! Yes there were no exams, but the projects (GROUP projects too) and connect hw are really tiring to do. BUT, she is understanding, kind, and not a tough grader.
I really loved taking her class, she was really nice and always open to help in case you have doubts about a project. Do your homework and be part of the classes activities and you will get you a good grade. Extra credit given as well through the semester.
There was only one group project, very easy grader, She knows that you may have other things going one so just talk to her and she'll work with you. You should read the material she gives on d2l. You should most definitely get a head start in her class.
The classwork is straightforward, if you don't understand the assignments she is always available to help. She also reminds you of upcoming due dates so its impossible to turn in an assignment late. It's also best to get a head start on Connect assignments as they take up the most time.
Professor M. is AMAZING! You want an easy A? You are sure to get it in here if you just do your work. She engages the class in discussions and there is never a dull moment. Keep it up Prof. M! CHOOSE THIS CLASS!!!!!
Professor Monteverde is very responsive to questions. She returns emails quickly. She is a great professor, an asset to Lone Star and I would not hesitate to take another class from her.
This course was an easy course, but you have to be willing to do the work. There are weekly discussion post. There are not test but you do have to work on several assignments instead of the test. Overall the class was not that bad.
I had it online because I am working full time and in my BSN program at the same. I did this class at Lonestar because it's cheaper. However, the work load is too much. 4 quiz per chapter with chapter quiz of 80 questions. Writes paper every month or less. I hope the work load can be reviewed. The professor nevertheless cares and gives feedbacks.
Professor Monteverde is a really caring and gives opportunities for extra credit. She gives good feedback and takes attendance into part of your grade. Most work was done online for this class but overall she is really good as a professor would definitely recommend and take again.
Professor Monteverde is an amazing psychology and life teacher. Her seminar-style class discusses what the book and online assignments are about. I always looked forward to coming to class, it was so fun and made psychology even more enjoyable. The book is required and all assignments are online. I would take her again any day! Take her class!!!
I took this class online and really like it. It was an easy A, but the workload is high. There are always 3-5 assignments due every week and a project/essay every month. They're very easy but do take time. If you're taking other rigorous classes or working full-time, this may be too much for you. But Monteverde is very caring and understanding!
