Excellent teacher! Very kind and helpful.
Awesome teacher. She very nice and has a lot of energy when she lectures. Puts a lot of passion into her classes. Wants you to do well. Show up to class and just listen to her lectures and you will do fine on her tests. Just do you work and you will have an easy A.
Are you looking for raw energy that even a coke addict would crave? She was fired up, ready to teach, and more than anything wanting you to learn. fantastic teacher, she pushes you, but not as hard as she pushes herself to help you learn! Your a great teacher Anne, don't change a thing
Dr. Garcia is always fun and very kind to the students. She seems to really care about us.
She was very patient in helping anyone, and whoever needed help. She was beyond fair, and super awesome. her main goal was to make you learn. She added humor to her class which made me want to go to class and be there and learn.

Anne is soo cool. She makes her lectures worth going to and makes you interested. Her main function is that you learn. She does a wonderful job as a teacher.
I did not like her teaching style. its like she would teach you half the chapter & then tell you to read the other half, so its like you were teaching yourself half of the time. She is a nice person but I just dont like the way she teaches
she had a lot of energy. good teacher
Dr. Garcia is an excellent teacher. She's really involved with her work, and gives every student attention. She has a lot of energy and can talk a lot, but I can't remember ever being bored in class. The class is pretty easy, but you have to pay attention and read the textbook. A+
I didnt think she was helpful at all. she only ****s on half the chapter and then you have to basicly teach yourself the rest. she has a lot of tests!!! and she gives alot of work. she a nice person but not a good teach.
Oh wait I thought we were on college? People who complain she only thought 1/2 the chapter are lame. Her lectures were filled with enegry and were education. A college prof. isn't suppose to teach you everything they only connect the dots. Shes very nice and the tests are all comprehensive.
I took Dr. G. for two classes and they both were great! She's a fabulous teacher and a fun person. She lets you work hard because she expects you to be an adult. This is college. You can do the work and succeed in her class.
She is a decent teacher, she knows psyc well, but she is VERY opinionated and you have to go by her views. She also leaves a lot up to you as far as doing work and actually dare i say, Studying. She tests a lot but they are way easy if u use her practice t
Taught the information well. Encourages self learning.
Since she has a distance learning class now, she has changed the whole format of the class for them. Nothing matches up to what we are doing in class, but we just have to adjust and figure it out. Also, her module tests, they aren't right. The answers don't match the right deffinition. And she treats you like you're 12.

She is horrible. I hated every second I was in her class. The worst teacher I have ever had. I was interested in psychology but now after taking her I am not so sure what to do. Do not ever take her!
Terrible teacher. Puts students down. Thinks she's perfect. Can't stand her.
Anne is definitely the best psych prof working at WCC . She has a tremendous amount of energy and makes you want to to well on the tests and work assigned. You need to work and study, but if you are determined to get an A in this class, it's quite easy.
Nice person and she certainly is passionate but i found her class to be like pulling teeth. She would rush through some parts of lectures in 3 minutes and yet test on it the same amount as the parts of the lecture she spent 45 minutes on. She likes to start a sentence and let you finish it, but if the class doesnt say anything, she wastes time onit
Completely unorganized, treats students as if we were 12 years old. Talks about her damn kids WAYYYYYYYYY too much. Rude through email, changed her entire class for the distance learning section, which makes the work on Blackboard hard to find and use, and difficult to know exactly what needs to be done. I would not recommend her.
Hard class, teacher willing to help. very energetic.
I LOVED her!!! Anyone would do well as long as they read the book and took notes, not just listen to her. This is college! I was sick and she was super helpful in catching me up w/o taking points off. 3 essay tests with a variety of questions YOU can choose from.Shes full of energy. She talks about her kids to relate the material to everyday life
Teacher was cheerful enough, but made the class unnesscarily difficult. She gives a test every single tuesday and thursday, and you have to take them on your own time at home. She's a nice person, but the class is very difficult and doesn't need to be.
Very energetic, and loves what she is teaching. I had a few problems with a couple of close minded remarks she made. And she drove me nuts by talking through the videos like we were too stupid to understand what was going on. But overall a good teacher.
Great Professor, one of the best.
She is the best professional yet, she knows her stuff and made me enjoy the class. All you need to do is be there, listen and read the text book
She will make you love psychology. Plenty of opportunities to get points but there is a LOT of info to learn so plan time to devote to it. Her classes are a ton of fun though; she's ridiculously intelligent and funny. One of the best professors I've ever had.
she's fun, and the class is acutally interesting. but you have to read the book for every assignment if you want to get an A in the class, for there is a quiz for each chapter that is mandatory
Best teacher Ive ever had! Very fun person to be around and her energy and enthusiasm rubs off on you. would recommend her highly to anyone
Garcia is a nice teacher.....but how can anyone be that happy in the morning? She assigns SO much reading...at least 50 pages a night......and you honestly HAVE to read if you wanna pass the class......honestly I don't recommend it if you still wanna have a life...
Great professor willing to help. Tests every week but they help you to understand the material was very fair in grading. Online tests of material every week and essay quizzes on modules. Lots of work but well worth the time. AAA
She is the absolute BEST teacher I have had my first semester at WCC!! I am taking 4 classes and she is the fairest, easiest to get along with, and fun to have. I have her online but compared to my other online professor, it's like night and day. She responds to emails very quickly and knows her stuff!!! If I had to take a class IN class, it would
She is a really good teacher. She is always going. Makes Psychology very interesting. However, she gives alot of homework [ reading and online quiz]. Her exams are very fair and easy to pass. I suggest taking her!! She funny, lighthearted, and loves to talk about her kids.
I took this class online. I thought that I learned a lot from her dvd lectures and thought that she had a good structure to the class. She had everytthing printed out on a schedule to do list which was very helpful!
She is very nice and intelligent. She really knows her stuff and uses a lot of examples to explain concepts which I like. However she assigns a lot of reading and online quizzes. It seemed like she is another teacher that thinks her class is your whole life. I though the class was harder than it should be.
Anne has the potential to be a wonderful instructor, however, her teaching technique this semester was all over the place. She gives quizzes every class, so reading the material ahead of time is a must, never-the-less, her teaching style was messy this semester. I would not recommend her to any of my peers.
This class is not an easy A. There is a lot of work, but it's completely worth it. You HAVE to show up and HAVE to read the book. The way she teaches you actually have to commit the material to memory and not just learn it for a test. Highly recommend this teacher if you actually want take something away from this course.
It was a pleasure to be taught by Dr Garcia. She introduced each subject matter in a way that related to everyday life. She is passionate about everything she teaches and always available to help. Highly recommended.
Worst professor I have EVER had. So hard to follow and completely off the wall. I took psychology in highschool and aI passed with an A. This teacher assigns atleast 30 pages of reading a night, there is a quiz every day at the beginning of class. And two tests every friday. Don't take her class if you want to have a life, or have other priorities.
Anne is a great teacher with lots of energy and enthusiasm towards the subj. She can get a little distracted some times, but overall is very organized. I would definitely recommend taking her if you are interested in the subj. Don't take the class if you want a super easy A, you have to at least read the book and show up.
VERY unorganized. Dont plan on missing class unless you want to miss the quizzes. She often throws things together and she rambles. Has a lot of info for you in a short period of time and we never finished half the material we were tested on! And she pushes her peace and justice club...Dont recommend her at all. Sorry.
She is the greatest online instructor I've had yet. The course is outlined in a concise manner, the material is fun and interesting, her lectures are helpful, and she is always updating the class on our progress.
Couldn't stand her, rambles on and on, completely off the wall! Essay quiz every class period, and she does not finish the material we are tested on. I loved Psychology until I took her class.
Its only hard if you're stupid. :)
Dr. Garcia is a wonderful Professor. Her teaching style is straight forward. She is very helpful and always available when you need her. She does give a lot of quizzes but they are NOT hard. You get half the points on the quiz just for being there. I went into her class liking psychology now i love it and am even considering changing my major.
I took this class online. Forgive me, but I would NEVER recommend this class to anyone. My interest in psych was pretty high before taking this class. She made SO many mistakes in correcting assignments, that if I did not babysit her, I would have done terribly in this class. Very frustrating. Please choose someone else to inspire your learning.
Anne is AMAZING! I absolutely recommend her for any psychology class! I took her in the spring when lectures were three hours, and her creative, memorable stories that linked back to the material made the class extremely enjoyable. You have to read the book and at least put in a decent amount of effort, but she's extremely kind and fun! Take her!
Crazy lady with a Ph.D!!!
Anne Garcia is the worst professor I have ever had. She is rude, unproffessional and damn right annoying, A complaint to the dean has been filed and she needs to be fired and subjected to a mental hospital
She treats the class likes where all 10 or 11 years old, she's extremely rude through email, rude in person...make's innapropriate remarks and gets into personal information that is none of her concern. DONT TAKE HER CLASS. also she's so annoying I wanted to pull my hair out after the first 5 minutes of every class
I never had a teacher who was so biased and made remarks openly of her distate of "certian" people. Watched in horror as she attacked another student who was in the right. No professional should lose control like that. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS
Most unprofessional teacher ever. made hateful comments about a older student, never missed a chance to work in a racial comment or three...why this woman is in a this position is so questionable. she states I teach at a 400 level this is not a level its a nightmare. took hours of prep for a class I didnt need. DISGUSTED
I took this class online and it was very easy. I didn't really have any interaction with this teacher but had no need to. The course was laid out from the first day and was very clear. It was an easy A as long as you finish the assignments.
Anne Garcia Is the worst teacher, she is so rude and overall reading these reviews on her I do not know why she is still teaching. She is so rude via email in person and in her office this lady needs to be fired
I can see why some don't like her, but I did. I test well and write well so the class was easy to me. She does talk a lot, but she knows her stuff. She is very passionate and i do think she teaches to the quick students. You have to be on the ball and show up and study hard. I learned a lot! If you want to actually learn take her!
I would have to agree with the other 34,659,236 people on here that say she is the most worthless, annoying, rude teacher EVER. I loved psych until her class. Luckily I rebounded with Maxine Smith, she's awesome. Totally recommend her! And yes, this lady should be fired!
This professor is very rude and arrogant to students, and much too picky about not having exact "text book" answers on assignments. Save yourself much frustration and pick someone else to take a psych class from.
This was my favorite class this semester! It was an online class but I had a lot of contact with the teacher and she is SUPER nice - I don't know why people are saying she's rude! You will read A LOT, but I found the material extremely interesting, so I didn't mind. She grades fairly and explains all assignments in detail, what more could you ask?
Wow I can't figure out why everyone is saying Anne is so rude. If you care about school and value your education then you will get along great. She's a lot of fun and still my favorite instructor after 3 semesters. She runs Students for Peace and Justice and she likes to play Just Dance on the Wii in the student center. SHE IS AWESOME I LOVE HER!
I really enjoyed her class. She is tough, but she does her best to explain the material thoroughly. You have to read the book, you are quizzed on every chapter that's required. Had 2 major papers, but I'm good at writing, so no problems here. Some didn't read or didn't follow directions...she ends up repeating directions a lot because of it.
I just got done taking Garcia this semester and she is the single most amazing professor I have ever had. Everything is so straight forward and laid out for you that it is almost hard to fail. She is a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person, all the haters who didn't do well must have a hard time following directions and form opinions based on th
Her class isn't hard if you just pay attention and follow the syllabus. If you can't handle homework, having to actually understand the material and reading the text book this class is not for you. I thought she made it very interesting and I learned a lot. I am taking another class with her and I didn't even like psychology classes before.
I was very frustrated with her lack of clarity. She responded rudely when I asked her simple questions, and I eventually dropped the class. I've taken four other Psych courses and I thought they were great, but this instructor personality and workload was too much.
I absolutely loved Mrs. Garcia she definitely made the class interesting and interactive. I registered for PSYCH before and dropped it because it was beyond boring and frustrating. She made me consider changing my major. I loved the BLENDED style course with her, read your chapter and participate in class and do your work and you'll do great!
Dr. Garcia's syllabus and class schedule were very clear. She was willing to help students, and gave a lot of useful feedback. I would definitely recommend taking her as an instructor.
Anne is extremely annoying. She always relates something to her kids, or something stupid she does with her life. Extremely hard grader. Get something little wrong, get half credit. RIDICULOUS. I would never take her again and I do NOT recommend her to anyone.
I swear if you miss one class, your grade can suffer. She gives quizzes as soon as you walk in at the beginning of each class.
This instructor is a hard grader. What's even worse is that she assumes the worst of her students. She is very defensive and has a chip on her shoulder. I would not take her again for any course.
I love the way Anne taught, was very animated. Great sense of humor and loved teaching this subject. I learned so much from her class. I would recommend her to anyone.
A fellow student asked openly in class with her she could have extra time during the quizzes because English was not her first language. Garcia openly said in class that she did not believe the student because she was verbally very clear. Why is it so hard to believe that reading comprehension and clarity of diction are two separate things?
I found this class interesting but the workload was heavy. Also there is mandatory reading every week followed by quiz when you walk into class once a week. There are discussion boards and also one or two assignments each week.
Took this course online Winter 2016. Pretty easy, there's a quiz usually every week and homework which isn't very hard. Reading material got a bit longer as semester is ending but nonetheless, nothing difficult. Just submit your assignments and discussion board topics on time. She is slow at grading but responded quickly to emails.
Anne is a critical grader. I think she expects too much from students that she is supposed to be teaching. Her material is far beyond the normal level of difficulty i have experienced at Washtenaw. Focuses more on drowning you in assignments, than she does making sure you understand the content of the class. Work load kills.
Anne is a very biased teacher. she only listens and talks to students who share her same views. quizzes given literally every class period and on top of that she has a very very tough grader. everything needs to always be exactly word for word how it should be. dont take this class, it is not worth all that comes with it. find someone else
Too many articles to read, quizzes and exams are done online and their timed.
She has strong opinions and beliefs and if you don't feel the same way she isn't very nice to you. If you take this class be prepared to do a lot of reading. Homework overload. Don't fall asleep in class she will have the rest of clap and cheer to wake you up.
Took this class online. Heavy workload but nothing too crazy, just seemed like a lot more than my other online classes. Multiple assignments a week including quizzes, discussion boards, etc. and occasionally a tough grader. I suppose I would take a class with her again but I would probably work around it considering her work load.
So her homework is repetitive, and consistent. She will degrade you if you don't give the exact answer that she wants. Meaning if there is something you answer but maybe not as good as you could she will send you an email making you feel like the smallest person in the world. I don't recommend her but for some classes you don't have a choice.
Extreme Liberal, daily quizzes are used as a form of attendance, rarely reviews contents of the book, goes off on tangents not consistent with assignment, you will here a ton about her son and daughter, references outdated examples to convey messages, barely knows how to use a computer.
Anne is probably one of the coldest and most critical teachers I've ever had. She has been nothing short of rude in every interact I've had with her. Very unclear about grading requirements.
Very strict. Liked her at the start, I sat in the front right by her computer. Too much information for squeezing all into one class. I took the blended class and still was struggling. The online part does make it a little bit easier, but I'd still have issues. Lots of homework, and quizzes! Watch out!
Never take her class! She gives a quiz every week. It's a blended class. Besides going to class, you have to do ALL your work online. Yes there's also a unit exam and chapter test EVERY WEEK. There's a ton of work involved. She's a very tough grader. If you don't give the answer she wants, she marks you down. She made me feel like I was stupid.
Good Teacher I promise
LOVE Ann! Awesome, intelligent prof who really cares about her students. Makes lecture interesting. Not an easy A
If you don't give the specific answer she's looking for, she marks you down heavily. Multiple occasions where she marked me down heavily for the answers being "missing" or from "the wrong chapter" when they were definitely there and correct. She can be very rude and never stops nagging and reviewing the syllabus.
One of the worst professors that I have encountered at WCC. I recommend you avoid her classes if possible.
This is Psy 100 but she acts like you are already well versed in all things psychology. She acts like you know what scientific papers are about and makes very rude comments when it is clear the scientific papers are well above your level. She is just rude and sloppy. Don't take her. There are other options.
Anne is amazing! Her class is for you if you are willing to show up, and read the book. She makes you put some effort into class (it's not that bad), but if you are willing to do so you will learn a lot and have a great time. She's very organized, very direct, and heavy on lecturing. If you take good notes in the lecture you will be well prepared.
I am taking this class PSY 240 with Anne and she is very very very rude and I will not take another class with her at all she late grading work when you email her she gets smart with you. I took the test and then the exam and had the same question and I got it right on the test but wrong on the exam emailed her, she said it was a different.
The topic is really interesting. She grades pretty well but I feel like she expects us to know more than we do. She gives really good feedback. Mechanism of action assignments were most difficult for me.
Anne is a great teacher overall! She is really funny and tries to get the entire class to engage during class. She does assign a lot of homework, and you have to buy the book to be able to pass in the class. She expects you do things outside of class, but it's not hard. It's very interesting material if you're willing to work a little bit.
Anne Garcia does not make her expectations clear. She'll then send several emails throughout the week clearly frustrated that her students don't understand what she wants from them. If your opinion is different than hers or if you don't answer a question exactly right, she'll mark you down for asinine reasons. She comes off arrogant and stubborn.
took this class online and i would never take another class with her! very touch grader and a TON of work!! i ended up with an A- in the class but it was the most stressed ive ever been and her assignments get very confusing and theyre SUPER long!
I loved Anne's class. Quizzes on chapter reading every class can be intimidating but as long as you read the chapter, it's an easy A . Open book bb tests every week help the subject matter stick for the quarterly exams that are taken in the test center. Her feedback on my papers was constructive & thoughtful. I looked forward to every class.
I would not sign up for her PSY 240 course. She was in the middle of a lecture and referring to something historic and just as calming as ever said the N word. She could have picked a thousand alternatives other than that. NOT ONCE in my college career have a heard a professor be so unprofessional and inappropriate.
Basically if you do not answer test questions the way she describes it in lectures you will get the questions wrong. I have even looked on Quizlet and there was the exact same question and she marked it wrong. Be prepared to take notes word for word on her lectures or you will get the questions wrong.
She is a great teacher, but she uses some video's for an online class from another teacher; that other teacher seems nice but her word "Kiddo's" is deadly over used, and her heavy breathing causes you to zone out easier than blinking.
The class was very extensive but the transfer of knowledge was there. If you listen to the lectures and read all chapters it makes testing a breeze, I noticed alot of reviews are upset about grading. All material was sourced from the book. I enjoyed this class and the quick response from her if needed.
I felt like a lab rat running a maze she set up a few years ago. She's not lazy, though--constant nagging to finish the maze segments, constant prodding with grades as rewards. The discussion boards were especially a parody of honest communication--hideous worksheets, no intergroup dialog; we must all arrive at the foregone conclusion. Never again.
Anne has been my FAVORITE instructor so far (been in school for 2 years now). She is thorough, fantastic lectures, provides positive and constructive feedback. Responds quickly to emails, great with reminders... HIGHLY recommend. I was surprised that her rating isn't much higher.
I've had professor Garcia now for a few classes & I definitely see why she may not be someone's favorite teacher. Pretty tough grader but gives great, detailed feedback. The assignments are SO long sometimes. Sometimes I didn't agree with how she grades. Altogether, I personally like her but different personalities may butt heads with her.
she gives you a time limit for everything. for example, essays are timed to be 20 min, quizzes are 15 minutes and there are 15 questions each. In the first week you have five things to complete two of those do not even count for a grade but are still required.
She expects a lot from her students. The class is significant work. Each week, there is a lengthy HW assignment and both an essay & MC exam. She also grades pretty harshly, so put significant effort into your answers. If you like feedback, she is the perfect prof; it was always extensive and relevant. Enjoyed the class, but it required a lot.
Awful. Should not be a teacher, she lacks the empathy and compassion one should have. Avoiding her and her classes in the future at all costs.
95% for an A says it all. It will be a very risky investment for you to take this course had you decide so. Don't expect your teacher to actually teach, because the course material offered is far limited compared to the questions that pop up on quizzes. Never submit your discussion materials late cause you will lose a lot of points.
I really enjoy Anne's teaching styles and lectures, this is the second class I have taken with her. This class was very hard for me and felt like an uphill battle initially. Anne gave great feedback and even reached out to tell me she was proud of my growth which really helped with my motivation. Take this professor regardless of the course!
