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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
