She is the most wonderful instructor! She is super super nice! Even though I would consider her class as being easy (well, I think she makes it easy), I learn a lot- even just by listening to what she talks about in class. This class is by far one of my favorite classes in college even though it has nothing to do with my major. I really love her!

Because of her, I thought about changing my major to psych. Pavlik made psych so much fun to learn and easy at that. Always talks about her life story which is for my liking only because whatever she doesn't go over is on her website. Lets us use study guide for tests including final. Probably the best teacher I've had at LACC.

Dr. Pavlik's class was a total pleasure. She very kindly entertains everyone's questions and comments, but at times it is a huge time waster for the people that are there to learn.

She was a cool teacher with a good personality and energy. I didn't like her class much despite getting an A; I had to work for it. She wasn't always very clear and you have to have your A game in taking notes with her. And her tests were death. She tests you like you're trying to get your doctorate in psychology. Suggested for hard workers only!

Dr. Pavlik is not what you expect from a psychology professor. She is super down to earth, have a great sense of humor and self-irony as well as being super qualified. She will swear, make movie references and keep it light hearted while keeping the level of lectures high. There is a fair amount of reading and tests but she's a very fair grader

Fall 2016! Professor Pavlik is amazing. Tests are easy and she gives a study guide. Although her lectures are based on power points, read the book. Tests are not based on definitions, so don't waste your time learning the definition, instead, learn the concept. Overall, great and easy class....

Dr. pavlik has an awesome strong personality. She is very clear on what you need to do in order to pass her class. Do your quizzes, research paper, responses and homework. Her tests are based on the quizzes. Study more situations, theories, and examples rather than definitions. Awesome class and professor!

Dr. Pavlik was one of the most inspirational instructors I have taken. She is so sweet and down to earth. Psych can be a very dense topic, she made it fun. Her lectures are hilarious and she is great at explaining difficult concepts. You should definitely read the chapters. Quiz every week that is very easy. She wants you to learn and pass!

Took Prof. Pavlik for Psych. 1 & 41. She let's you know what will be on her exams, so pay attention and take notes. She's a beauty w/tattoos, is smart, approachable, and lectures are always interesting. 7 pg. report due at end of sem., extra credit offered, exams are multiple choice w/a few short answer questions.

She is an amazing professor, she is accessible outside of class & always has a smile, plus she is engaging. I've taken her for Psych 41 & Psych 74 & her classes are amazing & fun. No one likes to teach Psych 74 so she's the only one that teaches it. She gives you the opportunity for extra credit but no make up for exams or quizzes. Highly recommend

She is a very nice teacher- often makes jokes throughout the class, knows how to keep her audience interesting with her stories, although her speaking manner is slow and somewhat monotone which may make you zone out once in a while. Other than that her work is fairly easy, just read+ study the lecture notes and you can pass the exams! :)

I took her in the winter and I did not like it. She never communicated with us or answered any emails, her class was set up for a 8-16 week course, not a 5 class. Someone went to her superior and she became salty and eased up a bit but was not happy. She is not clear on instructions and I did not like this class.

Let me be honest, I put in the work... I don't recommend taking this class. Professor lacked reliability, organization, & responsiveness. I reminded her about missing modules.There was no flexibility to work at my own pace or stay ahead. Recorded lectures were not provided. It was a disappointing experience, I suggest looking for another professor.
