oh my GOD!!! She is great april will teach you what you really need to know about group dynamics. She is clear, willing to help you, caring about her students and what she teaches. She just came aboard the LACC boat, and she is great. She has a lot to offer. She will really make a difference at the college.
awesome!
The best!!easy exam!
April is a wonderful teacher, albeit not very challenging (what she needs to improve on). Very clear, easy exams, and is good at keeping students learning from each other and not just from her.
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!
She is one of the best instructors I've ever had. Her tests are not all that easy as some have said in the previous ratings. However, she makes sure you know the material you should know to move into a career in psychology and to continue your education for upper division college. I would recommed her highly.
best professor ever!!!! show up and all u need is to use her study guide and boooom u have what's needed for the exam she's hot too to.
she is very nice and helpful. her tests are exactly what she gives u in the study guides. She is great to take i highly recommend her.
cool, interesting
PROFESSOR IS NICE AND TEACHES 41 ALSO ALWAYS HELPFUL YOU MUST ATTEND CLASS AND DO WORK NOT BY FAR EASY BUT NICE. AND VERY UNDERSTANDING. AND USES HANDOUTS FOR TEST YOU STUDIE THAT YOU HAVE IT MADE. THX DOC
Dr April is really interested in seeing students pass. Is very understanding..
a very animated and sweet woman, entertaining class
she is a dope teacher!! she's willing to work with you no matter what!!! (YOU SHOULD TAKE HER)...
Knowledgable,Entertaining, Helpful and smoking Hot!!!
she was extremely helpful, she will answer all your question. you can get a good grade if you read and pay attention to her lectures. she's a very great teacher, if you do what you're supposed to then you will pass her class.
She is sooooooo hot and funny! Oh yeah her classes were okay not that I was paying attention to what she was saying since I was in awe of her beauty. I think I'm in love.
Good professor. 1)She helps students very kindly. 2)psycho is not that easy class so she gives U extra credits. 3)She is funny. 4)If u don't get a A or B, I think U should go back to an elementary school.
she's very encouraging! Take her class you'll love her! easy class and you will enjoy the topics that come across in class..you can't help but love her =]
I loved her abnormal psychology class. She is interesting and informative with a fantastic sense of humor. I found myself wanting to go to that class every session. Prepares for exams very well and gives plenty of extra credit. Would love to have a class with her again. :)
DR. PAVLIK IS AMAZING! If you don't take this class you're a fool! She is very cool, clear, & helpful. Psych isn't really easy stuff, but she makes it applicable so that you understand everything. She is very relateable. Expect class discussions & make a friend 'cause that helps. She was my fav.
Dr. Pavlik is amazing!!! Best teacher i have had. She knows the subject and passionate. This class is easy because she gives study guides that is basically the test. Her final is not cumulative so its easy. Gives alot of extra credit. Plus she is HOT!!!
Dr. Pavlik is an amazing professor. She makes the material interesting and gets to the point! I also liked that she pokes fun at Fiazi's paintings in class. Unlike Fiazi, she is clear, well-structured, and organized. Definitely take her class!
She's awesome!!!!! Pretty easy class!!!
GREAT PROFESSOR!! she offers so much extra credit which makes it very easy to get an A in the class. she is very funny and easy going. MUST TAKE ! best proooff at LACC!
As a previous poster said, she is easy, for example, our review for the final: Talking about Grand Auto Theft. She is easy to distract and will take the whole class time...when the test comes up, as a previous poster said, they are hard.
Dr. Pavlik has a dynamic teaching style. She makes it fun to learn.
Prof. Pavlik is a godsend. Her classes are a joy to take. She doesn't like to see her students fail and helps them do their best. She offers an environment where students can express themselves, and she makes everyone comfortable. Very enjoyable.
It was a pleasure been in her class very fun,...take take take you will passed there is no chance to fail..if u go to clase...
Great teacher,
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.
She allows you, an independent student, in charge of your own learning, the ability to take charge of your education. She is a wonderful teacher and one of the few professors at City College who holds their PHD. If you can manage it, take her classes.
Favorite prof hands down!! highly recommend! shes funny and has actual working knowledge which she shares. she cares deeply about her class and students (she gives classes nicknames mine was the rebel class) tests are a little tough but she tells you what to study all around great class even for non psych majors!
Prof. is sweet and respectful. Her teachings are very interesting and fun. She is intelligent and funny. I highly recommend. Her tests are pretty easy if you do study. No hw, just reading. Extra credits are given. Because of her I was considering psychology as my major! Thank you for an awesome semester!
Greatest one!!! She's rock~~ I enjoyed every minute being in her class. Psych isnt an easy subject for me, but I passed it with a B, thx for her extra points. If u really wanna learn smthing take her!!!!
She is the best teacher ever. She keeps the class awake and interested and is very funny. Helps you understand the topic and she is a really good greater. I took her for psychology 1 and 41 . she is the best ever!!! I highly recommend her.
Ms. pavlik is a great teacher. I learned so much from her.
One of the BEST teachers I have taken at LACC. Her quirkiness and passion to teach will make you WANT to come to class. She's incredibly intelligent and not bad on the eyes either. A must for any subject she teaches.
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. When she instructs, she is awesome. However, it is frustrating when some people dominate the class with nonsense and are not roped in by Dr. P.
Dr. Pavlik was truly amazing. When I first registered for this class, I hadn't even looked her up. I really got lucky. Psychology can be really boring or really interesting and she made it as interesting as it could get. she is clear and helps you when you need clarity. She lets you text her your questions. You won't regret taking her class.
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!
I love this teacher. She ventures outside of just teaching whats in the textbook. She helps you apply things to your life and is open to answering questions. She obviously loves teaching psych.
Just read the book and u will be fine. Took her for winter ended up with an A in the class. Gave a lot of extra credit. She does give really good lectures. Almost made me want to be a Psych major. Highly recommend!
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!
This teacher is amazing. She comes to every class with a smile and an openness to really answer every question that is asked. She obviously has had a lot of experience in her lifetime and it shows through in the lectures. If only there were more teachers like her. I loved this class.
LOVE LOVE LOVE HER CANT PRAISE HER ENOUGH!! SHE SO MUCH FUN!! TOOK HER FOR PSY 01 TOO AND WOULD TAKE ANY OTHER CLASS SHE OFFERS!! GIVES STUDY GUIDE FOR EVERY TEST (WHICH SHE SOMETIMES ALLOWS YOU TO USE ON TEST!!)PLUS LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT. SHE CARES ABOUT STUDENTS LEARNING PLUS SHES FUNNY AND JUST PLAIN AMAZING!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Very fun and easy class! You will never be bored in her class! =]
Good class. I recommend Pavlik. She makes class interesting. This was an easy class, and I actually learned something.
This teacher really tries to teach the material so you will get it. If you pay attention, you can get an easy B. You have to work hard for an A.
I hardly had to use my textbook because she clarifies everything with power point, which are all available on her website. He quizzes are also based on it. If you miss class, you can always catch up at home because her material is availble for everyone. The quizzes are always vocab meaning it's easy to ace it. She also gives extra credit. LOVE HER!
Professor Pavlik is a beautiful person inside and out! I loved her class, very easy, and interesting topics! I highly recommend her!
She tries to get the material across. She goes off on tangents about the past but then she comes back. She is really good when she isn't distracted. An easy B if you pay attention.
TAKE HER!! YOU WILL LOVE HER!!!
Professor Pavlik is awesome. She shares real life experiences in lectures related to topics and is funny too. Her quizzes are easy, all you need is ppt. Exam #1 was ok, final exam #2 was hard. She gives scenario type questions on her exams. lots of extra credit opportunities too. She's pretty & dresses nice
She was a great teacher and very funny too!! I highly recommend her...
She's ok. Class was easy but listening about her ex husband and boyfriends was not. She's ok once coffee kicks in. Taking Amy for psy2.
This teacher is wonderful, she really wants you to understand exactly what you are learning. She is open to questions and discussions. Her tests are exactly what she covers, no surprises. Pay attention, read and you will do well.
She is a good teacher. She covers the material. If you study her notes and the book, you can get an easy B. You have to study hard for an A,
She is good most of the time, and teaches a good class. If you can live with a few distractions and tangents, she can be fun and interesting.
Okay, she does know her stuff and she is a good teacher. A few tangents here and there but doesn't everybody? Anyway,a good bet for an A or B.
She is fair in her grading and you should be well-prepared for her tests. She seems to know her stuff.
She is extremely helpful and keeps the class interesting. She has a great sense of fashion and she knows her stuff. She gives alot of pop quizzes so be prepared and read your chapter.
I am glad I took her for Psych 1. She is high in the competition. She teachesn enjoyable class.
She makes PSYCH 1 interesting, and presents a lot of the material in a way you can easily understand. Overall, I recommend her for PSYCH 1.
She teaches you in a way so that you will learn the material. She makes class interesting. I recommend her for PSY 1.
April is a good choice for Psy 1. She has her good days and her days where she strays a little. For the most part, she keeps the class going in the right direction. Easy B. You have to study hard for a B.
She is my least favorite teacher at LACC. She thinks highly of herself. At least, someone does!
She does her best with the subject and the material. Students who do their assignments will do well.
She strays from the subject a little too much for my blood. When she stays focussed, she is okay.
She does lose focus but she comes back to the subject. You have a fair to good chance for a B if you keep up with her.
Yes she may stray but she admits to that and will tell you herself! Good professor, knows her stuff.
If you learn PSY 1 from Prof. Pavlik you can learn easily and she sticks out in your head like a wet sponge. Prof,Pavlik is one of the best teacher. I would recommend she is outstanding.
She is the sweetest lady out of all my years in college. She is not that easy, but she is not too hard either. She gives a fair amount of work and as long as you do it all, you should pass with a good grade.
She is nice and very likable. You can pass her class with a good grade as long as you do all the assignments properly and understand your topic before each test. Highly Recommended!
She is a great professor! She is very clear, but if you're confused in any way just ask her and she will do her best to explain anything you didn't understand to you^^ Go to class, take notes, and listen. There is group work involved in this class, but sometimes it optional. She makes class interesting; take her~
This woman is the only way ill get through all of the shenanigans at LACC. Love her! So inspiring and an AWESOME proffessor.
the teacher is awsome! she gives good work. you actually learn n reflect it back into your life.You can talk to het and she will be upfront with you... i give her 5stars ... we need more teachers like her.
Prof. Pavlik rocks. She's funny and very relate-able. She gives you a chance to bring your grade up.
She is the best professor I've ever had. I love her class can't wait to take with her next semester. Highly recommend professor April. Her class always interesting and clear one of the nicest great professor I' ve ever met.
AWESOME teacher!! She gives you so many oppurtunities to get a high grade, gives ALOT of extra credit! Shes very chill and actually makes you want to listen to what shes saying and love psychology. I highly recommend her!! Im taking all my psychologys with her.
Dr. Aprils is the best professor I have ever had! She is helpful in her lectures and is very knowledgeable in her field. Regardless of the class she teaching (I have taken all of them) SHE IS AWESOME!
Whether you are a psychology major or not, take psych 43 with Professor Pavlik. The experience alone might alter your view of others as well as your view of yourself. Professor Palvik strives to create an open environment for her students to discuss issues while she maintains both a forum for critical and psychology thinking. Great instructor.
Take advantage of her extra credit. It helps ALOT and i mean ALOT. I went from a D to a B alone with the extra credit. Takes notes, come to class. Tests are not easy but not too hard either. All tests are multiple choice. They shouldn't be too bad if you just pay attention in class. Lifespan Psych is interesting.
Great teacher. She works hard to make the class interesting and for us to do well. I highly recommend her.
If you are taking Psychology 43, there is no else to take. You will really benefit from the experience. And then some. Great experience overall.
I learned a lot with this teacher. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to deliver. I highly recommend her.
I feel like I have been in therapy and I have learned what therapy and group is supposed to be. Fantastic teacher. Must be a great therapist!
Truly works to make sure we have the PSY 43 experience in every way. There is no one else toi take. I highly recommend her.
Great teacher! She runs a great Psych 43. We all look forward to it.
April is a great teacher. She knows her stuff and knows how to teach it!
Organized and well done class. Very thorough lectures. Great personality. I very highly recommend her.
Great teacher who gives a great class. I will take her for everything I can. She is very personable and warm. I highly recommend her.
This teacher gives her all to PSY 43. She is really the only one to take for this class. I very highly recommend her.
She say she was hard but I enjoy her class a lot. Not boring at all, she makes it fun. And she a multi tasks teacher. Do your work, understand the purpose, pass your test... Boom ga Ching AAA.
She's very professional, knowledgeable, and great at teaching. Also, has a great reputation wall of her students because she's nice, funny, and easy-going. The Psych1 summer session flew by, with 6 mc quizzes, a research paper, and a film review. Also offers a few other xtra cred assignments. If u take good notes then the book isn't needed
Easy class, show up and do your homework and you'll get an A. She gives some pop quizzes but if you pay attention they are really easy. Enjoyed this class a lot!!!!
WOW! Best Professor at LACC hands down! Took her twice and all her classes are amazing, shows a lot of interest and the class is never boring! Not an easy class, but she makes it fun! You will actually learn something from this professor. We need more professors like her!
April is the best there is at Group Dynamics. She makes everyone feel comfortable and helps us develop a great rapport with the group.
Amazing and personable teacher. I highly recommend her. One of the best teachers at LACC.
I loved this class. Dr. Pavlik made class fun. The papers were on interesting topics as well so, i enjoyed writing them a lot. I would definitely take one of her classes again. She is a fair grader.
Dr. Pavlik is a good professor! She's honest, straightforward, easy going and knowledgeable. Her lectures are fun! She gives pop quizzes sometimes so try not to skip classes. Just listen to her, take good notes and study the points she covered then you can pass the class. She's available and helpful when you ask her. I highly recommend taking her.
Prof. Pavlik is a great professor, she's funny, smart, & has a great sense of humor. Her lectures are on powerpoints. Tests are easy if you study, she gives the opportunity for extra credit. I highly recommend taking her class. I've taken other Psychology classes & I've chosen wisely for each class. I would take another psychology class with her
I learned so much in this class. it was by far one of the most interesting and informational classes i have ever taken and this professor taught it so effectively.
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!
You have four test for this class , but if you study it's easy to pass . There is also a research paper and two videos responses . Also , there are like 12 quizzes throughout the class. Pavlik lectures are great and clear . She cares a lot about her students . She knows a lot about psychology overall . She have good sense of humor .
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!
Dr. Pavlik's is the most interesting class I have taken so far. She really understands the material and wants her students to understand too. Has a lot of experience in psychology and really loves her work. She made the course work very easy to understand. Her tests were not difficult and she offers extra credit! Would take her class again
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.
Great teacher. She cares that we do well. More importantly, she cares we learn. I very highly recommend her.
Desperately disorganized. This is all I want to say about this professor's online course.
She's funny, charismatic, and beautiful, although a bit disorganized. She is extremely lenient and flexible. I respect her for continuing to teach during her fight with breast cancer. She would make it to class even through all the treatment sessions. Her class is not hard but it does require a bit of effort.
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
great prof, she really connected with us, topics are relevant to students current lives. She is always willing to answer any questions after class, lets you know exactly what is expected on every assignment, gives study guides for tests.
Dr. Pavlik is a real gem, so knowledgeable, funny, approachable I can keep going forever. Her lectures are all power point & she will post each one of them to canvas. There will some extra credit but no make ups. Shes very lenient, and should be an easy class. To top it off Pixie (dog) will make appearances throughout the semester and shes a doll.
Dr Pavlik was so engaging in lecture. Very approachable and caring. Learned so much in my lifespan class!
She is one of my favorite professors. Everything I learned, I remembered, and the tests are questions you can fill out on your spare time then submit. Her tests are ALL based on what we have read and the discussion questions. She is very friendly, kind, caring, excellent feedback. I highly recommend her!!!
Pavlik is a sweetheart, very caring, insightful, and has a lot of academic and life experience. She is a straight shooter and honest, she gives extra credit. She makes the class interesting and Fun to learn. Group projects also help boost the mood in the room. If you need help, just ask. A great personality and loves teaching. Highly Reccomended
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! :)
A straight-forward grader. Very easy to follow along with the material. Gives good feedback and makes the class easy to understand.
Took her for the fall semester. One quiz based on readings every week. Great weekly discussions. One midterm, a final, and a final APA paper. Everything went smoothly and I learned so much without stress especially during these times. TAKE HER!
Professor Pavlik is an awesome teacher. She is very nice. She is always in touch. I had online class and it was very interesting and not so hard.
This is the best psychology professor at LACC. She's very caring and always gives good feedback to students. She also provides lots of extra credit opportunity at the end of semester.
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.
I received a good grade because I put in the work to pass this online class. Unfortunately, I felt that this professor was not very responsive to emails or questions that many of us had. You are pretty much on your own!
Honestly, Professor Pavlik is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is kind, cares about her students, and creates a safe space where you can interact with each other. I was feeling a bit broken when I took the class and she really helped me build confidence in myself and my ability to take care of my mental health.
You'll learn little to nothing in her class. She is very unorganized and doesn't respond to messages, but she is nice and the class is VERY easy. If you are taking developmental psych because you actually need it - take another professor.
very sweet and caring. creates a safe place tries to not pressure students which was stressful at first because i didnt know lol (moving due dates and such)
Prof. Pavlik is absolutely awesome. If you're thinking of taking her, do it! Her class was very easy and very low costly. I'm going to take her again for research in psych. She doesn't grade hard at all. As long as you do your best and put effort into it, she will give you a good grade. (: good luck! You'll love her, trust me.
Class is interesting and structured alright but there LOTS of mistakes in the online modules. Tests often included material we had not yet learned. Didn't answer her office hour zoom once. Never responded helpful to an email - just said to check the module. Easy A but don't really respond in a helpful way and I wanted to really understand.
Absolutely the best Psych professor. Awesome class, I wish I could take it again. I absolutely loved it.
Dr. Pavlik is one of the nicest professors on campus! The workload can get heavy but it isn't too difficult as long as you do your reading and research. Overall, this was one of the best classes I've had :)
I've taken professor Pavlik twice and both times have been a wonderful experience. She is quite assignment heavy but the assignments are fairly easy and straight to the point. She tries her best to help her students succeed. Honestly, if you don't pass her class then you weren't even trying.
Honestly if you just want to pass psychology class take her.
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.
I took an online class with this professor which had no meetings. There was 2-3 discussions 1 assignment and 2-3 quizzes per week. She is definitely not a tough grader. You will pass if you don't miss any assignments.
I took this class and it had no meetings. I was about a month long class and had 2-3 discussions per week, 2-3 homeworks and 1 assignment-essay, a midterm, a final and at the end there was a 6-7 page paper. She is very caring and gives feedback.
