Great instructor, although the class is challenging. Instructor will keep you laughing the entire semester

Excellent teaching

Best professor I've had at rcc. Very funny, very politicaly incorrect. Encourages sleeping in class, likes to talk smack on ex wife.

I LOVE this professor! He is hilarious and exceptionally brilliant. Presents real life scenarios and applies them to psych. Makes people think outside the box and teaches people how to really study. Tests are hard, but you learn a lot!

I've taken every psych class this professor teaches because I believe he is just that good. Btw, his ex wife is not his ex wife, but the same woman he's been married to for years. (Notice he never refers to her as an ex...) Jokes are risquee, but good!

Great teacher, don't take the class if you are easily offended by off color or policticaly incorrect jokes. I found him to very funny though. Best class I've taken in college yet.

funniest teacher ever!

Best teacher yet.Very educated man who will keep the class intresting the whole semester. Even at 7:25 you want to be in class. Although be careful when it comes to being piked on he likes to minipulate the mind. Application is a must in Romero's class.

Very VERY difficult...you have to study but you will learn life lessions. This class has given me a new perspective on college. Take the class but dont base your opinion on the first day or week...

Romero Is Great. He will open up to questions, explain, and give excellent examples. You are able to apply psych. to your daily life. The course is very interesting, I enjoyed it very much. Romero is very funny and his jokes are nothing but the truth.

Romero is full of jokes.(dirty and clean) Class is easy but you HAVE TO read the text book on your own to pass the class. Exams are right from the book. Most of the stuff he talks about arent from the book but its the truth with life.

Romero is an excellent teacher.He makes you look at your life in a different perspective.Contrary to what people say he is an excellent teacher.If you really want to learn take any one of his classes.He may go off the topic now and then and say some weird things but that what makes him unique.

He is in denial and thinks he looks like Brad Pit.

Romero is the****!

He gives automatic a's on tests if you pay attention! got an a on the test and never read a page!!!

Romero Is El GUAPO!!! he's the best teacher. Explains everything in details and offers his help all the time I lOVE this professor. Got an A.

quite possibly the best teacher I've ever had. the epitome of KEEPING IT REAL.

Very nice teacher. He likes to debate, but getting inside a person's head is part of psychology!

romero is hilarious but alos very insightful. He will stay after class and help you get a handle on concepts you mgiht be struggling with. He gives alot of free points and discuses almost everything you need in the lecture but he finds ways to make it entertaining. I deliberately chose him for my next psych class his fall.

Changed my life and way of thinking. One of the greatest teachers i've ever had. Open your mind and think, because only the closed-minded get offended by his ideas.

Probally one of the hardest professors, but the best Ive had yet. He is awesome!

I had so much fun in his class. I took his class for summer and had a ball.

He gives you the answers to tests in his lecture, just pay attention class was an easy A.

Dr. Romero is one of the most amazing professors I've ever had! He makes learning a life changing experience by providing viewpoints that are often masked by society. He follows the book pretty close so pay attention. He is not an easy teacher but are we here to learn or to earn a check on the attendance sheet? He is hilarious and loved by most!

He is an excellent teacher. Never once wanted a dull moment. I can compare it to going to a comedy club. If you take his class be ready to laugh, think, be heckled, and offended. He is really good at making the information real world and practical so I wouldn't get too caught up in the text. DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS! I

If you have a brain in your head you'll like Dr. Romero. He keeps lectures interesting and tries to apply concepts to current events. Fantastic dude. Many times he has after-class study sessions that are not announced to the class. Ask about them and attend if you can. You won't regret taking this fellow.

You have to get used to his teaching style, it is unique. He picks on students and talks about inappropriate things, but it is all in good fun. he knows what he is talking about it and even though he sounds very unpolitically correct, he's exposing you to different views. Not for the easily offended and weak.

One of my Heros!

Great class. Recommend it to everyone out there.

Best teacher I have had. He is a little intimidating at times and will put you on the spot, but if you stick with it, you will get a lot out of the class. Plus, the tests are not easy, but he wants you to pass and will usually either let you take a make up or give you some answers, and let you drop your lowest test score, etc.

Dr. Romero is up there as one of the best at RCC. He is totally misunderstood. Yes, read the book and have fun listening to him in class. After many years have gone by, I still remember his amazing ability to reach students.

Great teacher!

Romero is not a traditional teacher. Your grade is based on your performance on the 5 or so periodical exams. He never pushes you to learn at all. All he does is let you know that learning is your choice & that this world is full of people that don't make the choice. Do something that will show him you want to learn and he'll treat you well.

He was very deep in his lectures, interesting at times, however his grading was not very interesting.

Definitly a unique character. Lectures are very interesting. The semester I took him, all you had to do was jump out the window to get an A in the class! But, it was apart of his lecture and theory in psycology. Wonderful teacher.

I took him last spring... I enjoyed his class...He did not want his students get low grade....wonderful!!

FUNNIEST TEACHER EVER!! I strongly reccomend you take this class. If you pay attention you can get an automatic A just like that!! Tests are a bit hard but if you read the book you'll be good. He's super funny and keeps you entertained, He calls himself ELlGUAPO...which is intresting for a guy whos half asain to say.

I absolutely LOVED Mr Romero. One of the funniest teachers I have ever had. Dont take him if you are easily offended but I VERY STRONGLY recomend him.

wooh! there was never a dull moment! fun!!!

Mr. Romero is insane. But you'll never be bored in his class. Come prepared to participate/with questions. His use of profanity is frequent and he WILL offend everyone. But he grades on the curve and hands out automatic a and b like candies. He goes off material a lot, but even with that you will leave his class feeling like you learned something

Romero is a unique and one of a kind professor. He allows his students to see psychology in a different perspective. He is a very entertaining professor, yet he maintains an environment for learning.He is a great professor and is highly recommended. If you get offended easily,don't take him. He will not sugarcoat anything!that's what makes him grea

I took Psych 9 twice before and failed both times. I took it with Dr.Romero and it was a breeze. Hes very funny. If you are open minded you will enjoy this class. Most of your grade consists of about 4 big tests, which he lets you take home and do...:) Atleast thats what he did for my class. I got an A!

you either like him or you dont.

Promotes a well thought out teaching theory that throws alot of paper addicts off. He wants us to actually think and grow... Instead of just memorize the material so we do good on the test. Classes are discussion based, chapter readings are expected as outlined strictly in the syllabus. He is definitely controversial but only to stimulate thought.

not for the average student obsessed with a normal class structure, he teaches in a very unique way that all should experience, i am surprised at the low rating for him

Romero does not lecture based off of the textbook. He goes beyond it and applies the theories to actual cases, mainly in current events. If you truly want to understand psychology, I recommend this class. His tests are hard and do require that you study from the book, but it was worth it. Don't take his class if you cannot handle offensive humor.

one of the best and funniest teachers at rcc. he doesnt lecture from the book or talks about the course. So reading is a must, very funny and down to earth. and extremely hilarious!!

You either like him or you dont.

Romero's lectures interested me all semester long. if your the type of person who goes to class just to get a grade, hes not this type of professor. youll actually learn something other than memorizing it. Remember only 1 percent of learning is in a class room, the other 99 percnet is on your own. if you like this, Romero is the teacher for you.

i LOVE this guy!! you can count on always having interesting class discussions. there is never a dull moment in Romero's class!

I have taken Romero for 3 out of my 5 required psychology classes. I wish he taught them all. He does not teach conventionally, that is what I love about him. His class is not about how much you can memorize but how you apply it to real life. If you don't like to earn your grade take someone else. Looking to actually learn psychology take him!!!!

He is definately not your typical teacher. His lectures go off on many different tangents but he teaches very well. I learned a lot from this class. Class participation is a must!!! He gives automatic test grades if you participate well. GREAT TEACHER!

Romero is an excellent psychology professor. He doesn't teach out of the book and he gives automatic test grades if you participate in class. Basically to succeed in his classroom you need to know how to apply yourself and BE LITERATE.

His class is not hard at all. He expect you to read on your own 99% but he explain things well. He pretty easy on testing most of the time we have to ask for open book and he will let us vote = yes. He is very funny and different from other professor, but he has his own way of teaching and i see the world with different perspective now. easy A

If you don't plan on participating in class, don't take Romero....unless you plan on reading and comprehending the text book 100% of the time. He doesn't talk about the material and when he does he'll talk about 1 page out of 10 in a chapter. Be prepared to be a self learner here. Does give out Automatic grades, must be outspoken to get those.

frickin insanely awesome class

best professor of my college career thusfar. romero is intelligent and witty; sure his lectures don't always stick to the book but that's okay. it's the students' job to read the material outside of class anyway and romero teaches way more than the book could ever have to offer.

Romero is freaken awesome!Took him for 3 yrs. of psych and he has made them my best 3 yrs. of taking any college course!if your into psychology this class is for you!Even if your not, he is a very intelligent man, although he does seem a little weird, its all for fun!Recommend this class highly

Great class. Made the time enjoyable.

he is one of the greatest teachers I have came across outside of the military. you will either love his class and get an A or hate his class and fail.

PSY1. High text use. Lectures only on 1or2 topics a meeting. All homestudy! Not exaggerating! You must study nonstop to pass. In my class, he gave tons of opportunities on test to answer/ask ?s to get auto B grade. Entertains but requires critical thinking. Tough! Tough! class. Be prepared to work, seriously! I got auto-Bs to pass w/a B.

I love this guy.His exams are long 50 mult. choice ?s that r all found in the book if u do the reading & he usually gives u the quest w/the answer during class.lectures dnt really help so u have 2 read.he doesn't care if u go 2 class or not.he loves it when u ask quest. and if u ask enough he'll give u and automatic B on the exam.

Don't listen to people that bash him! He is an amazing professor and his motto is "1% of learning happens at school, 99% is your responsibility". which is very true! you cannot expect a teacher to spoon-feed you everything! that ends up as a boring lecture! his class is ALWAYS entertaining, interesting and ALWAYS connects to the outside world.

I LOVE HIS CLASS.

I love you Romero.

Romero is one of a kind. His class is not easy but if you add to lecture in class and get 'automatic grades' on tests you will sail through the course. I only took one test all semester. Take any extra credit opportunities. I learned alot from his class but nothing that was on the tests. Tests and class discussions are completely different.

he is a awesome teacher, no lie he is a hard teacher he is fun and interesting. I learned he likes to read a lot of books that was really interesting. He plays with your mind a lot, mainly to get rid of the weak minded people XD i would recommend you his class but only if you stick all the way with it. even if your failing the class take it till th

awesome teacher. do your reading! ask for help in his office or after class and you'll ace the tests.

You cannot let your mind wander in this class bc he WILL randomly call on you multiple times throughout the sem. great professor! Funny and fair. Don't take anything he says too personal and you'll be ok. Honestly I think one of the best prof i've had in my two years..take him if you are serious, interested in the subject, and willing to LEARN

I loved this teacher and his class. If you are open-minded and don't take what he says personally, you will love it too. You must read, study and listen but isn't that what a higher education is all about?

He tends to rant on about current events and shows how they are relivent to develpment. Interesting, very interesting. Don't take his opinion to heart, and be on your toes. READING IS A MUST! He chooses not to go over much in the book in class, you have to do it on your own time. Don't miss a class!

Funny!!! keeps class entertaining!

funny

Great professor. He says from the 1st day of class that he will give you 1% and you will get the other 99% on your own, and this is true. He goes off on current events but if you pa attention they relate to the class. Do the lab study guides and the online tests and you will be set for his tests. Also PARTICIPATE IN CLASS! This will could toward yo

I recommend this professor.

Best teacher in RCC... He might seem hard in the begging but there no-one else that helps students as much as he does... Someone wrote that he is discouraging the truth is that he is the complete opposite... he is always trying to motivate you but on his way... BEST TEACHER PERIOD

Extremely smart. The best professor I have had so far, read the book and apply yourself. Ask for help if you need it. He differentiates between the students who deserve to go to college and the idiots who should work in fast food and fosters the growth of the former. Highly recommended

Wonderful Professor, his classes teach you more about life than just reading and learning definitions from the book.

Easiest B I have ever received. Just participate in class, ask good questions and you will get on his good side. At the end of the year he will ask what grade you deserve and if he likes you he will stick to the grade you have chose.

Awesome professor. Vastly intelligent man, if you can get over his eccentricity. He has a brash personality, no doubt, but if you ask a lot of questions, try your best, and study a lot, you will emerge with no lower than a "B".

Mr. Romero is a straight up man. While some people don't understand his tactics, he encourages participation. He loves to use psychology and apply/demonstrate its purpose to everyday situations. A lot of people don't like it. I understood it. Tell it like it is, why lie. I got alot from this class, and u can to if u study and challenge yourself

ROMERO IS AMAZING! he gives otu automatic grades. sit in the frotn row and participate he will love you. I took one test in this class and got a b. granted his class is hard and he doesnt lecture about the actual test material so it maybe very frustrating knowign you have to show up. but he does give higher graades to people who attend :) TAKE HIM!

He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. If you do your reading, you will see every "tangent" he goes off on relates to the book. He forces students to think instead of memorizing a book. He's a brilliant teacher, always trying to enlighten his students about the real world they will be facing and trying to prepare you for them.

Best teacher I've ever had. To get a great grade, you should talk to him and visit him in office hours to discuss material. Great in-class discussions and very funny. :)

I took the class online. He call a very helpful unofficial class meeting. This brought everyting into clarity for me. He was very helpful. I wished I'd taken his class in person. His test were obscure for me, but I managed to get a "C" in the class. I was okay with that. I boomed alot of test.

FANTASTIC! His lectures are fascinating - I loved EVERY CLASS. He has a HUGE fund of knowledge and really likes to engage students. You MUST be an adult and read the book! If you want a dry, boring teacher to just drone on and on from the book, don't take him. If you want a teacher who will WAKE YOU UP and make it RELEVANT to your life, TAKE HIM!

I loved his class, all you need to do is read the book! His personality is worth showing up to class for. I am considering taking another one of his psy classes if available.

great professor, very flexible. the only reason i did bad is because i couldnt adapt in the first year, I was surprised I got B

I absolutely LOVED this class. Romero is hilarious and he understands this material so well. If you don't have an open mind, I don't suggest taking it because apparently some of his jokes are taken offensively. You definitely need the text book. It's a MUST HAVE. This class was a great way to start my day.

If you are easily offended by a little off the wall humor than don't take him. If you can brush stuff off and act like an adult his class is the easiest A you'll ever earn. Just read the chapters and show up for the class, and don't forget to take the tests online at home, and you'll do great. This is an intro psy class, so take it for what it is.

This class was Hybrid. Recommend you join the literary team for an automatic A. Read the textbook and assigned books (Of Love & Other Demons). Finish all online work, IT HELPS ON THE FINAL. RECORD all your TEST SCORES and work on the journal. Talk to him after class because he's interesting. I recommend him!

Mr. Romero is a great and funny professor that makes his lectures fun and memorable. He tries to get his students involved so they can learn the material. I earned a C, but I know if I would of been more focused and determined my grade could of been a lot better. You will learn a lot of interesting things in all of his lectures.

He has quizzes in class and has discussion boards & quizzes due online once a week. Its a lot of easy work if you don't it. He's likes to joke and comes off very strong with his jokes. Once you get past his jokes he is actually pretty cool. He will give you the benefit of the doubt as long as you do well and go to class every week.

The saving grace of this rather confusing course was that at the end of the semester Romero allows each student to tell him what they believe their grade to be, if he agrees, then that's your grade. I witnessed his approval on every students proposal including my own. (However if you state you should receive an A, then you must provide proof )

You want an A, you must read every chapter of the assigned Developmental Psychology book, Of Love and Other Demons, & participate in the Blackboard discussions. Quizzes are so easy (if you read the material of course). The final was online and it's a guaranteed A if you have access to the E-Book. Keep track of all the extra credit you earn.

Really easy class, read the book and you'll get an easy A. Don't cheat, he has a spy in his classes to tell him who cheats.

Romero is a wise professor, beyond the psychology he knows, he actually likes to have discussions about life issues. Sometimes he can be a bit inappropriate with his jokes but I've take 2 classes with him and he's fair in his grading I learned about psychology but I also learned about life.

great teacher have taken two different class with him about to take my third as long as you read and participate in class its an easy A

One of the best instructors I have ever had. Just pay attention and participate

Romero's a very cool teacher. Teaching style is one of his own, but once you get used to it you will realize he is trying to get you to really understand the material and have a sense of urgency. If you read the material and do the discussion posts you will follow along nicely. 4 exams, written exam, and participation are the most important.

He's a really great teacher once you get past his humor. He's definitely not your typical teacher, but he really makes you think about life in a whole new perspective. He keeps the class really interesting and the time pretty much flys by.

If you can't handle his class, don't call yourself a psych major. He is not a typical take notes kind of teacher. Yes, you do have to read and they're quizzes which i didn't do so well on myself, but he let me pass because of who I am. If you show him you are not an idiot you will pass. He does have a shocking sense of humor.

In general, this class could have been very easy if I did the work and read all the material. His online class is a simple few quizzes which you will do bad in no matter what if you don't do the reading. He was very understanding and replied to all my messages. A textbook code is required to register online, but there is an online reading program.

Professor Romero is awesome ! I do not understand how anyone could give a negative review. Students need to apply what they learn. The class is not intended to be simple .... its psychology !! Think outside of the box. Romeros instruction is as raw as it gets. Apply yourself and the theories and you will do well.

Dr. Romero is one of the best professors I have taken here at RCC. He can seem rude and opinionated but he has a very unusual way to deliver his message/lecture. As a psych professor he teaches you how to think and use psychology to develop profiles. Expect to read a fair amount because his quizzes are based on the book chapter.

Critical thinking

I took his online PSYCH 1 course. I found it to be straight forward. Just do the reading & assigned material and you will do great. He responds to all your e-mails if you're respectful as you should be. Conduct yourself in a professional manner and you will have no issues.

Prof Romero is a gem! He explains Psychology so profoundly through examples that we can relate to. He makes you think. Doesn't use textbook but doesn't have to. He's available before and after class. Makes you become a better you! You have to participate though and ask questions to understand yourself. Man! He could be the next Jordan Peterson!

best psych. prof. ive ever taken! if I could take his class again I would! you read a chapter every week and when you meet, you go over the chapter that you read and he answers any questions you may have. his lectures are fascinating, they're never boring. he's a good grader, its really hard to not pass the class

This was my first online class and I thought it would be confusing submitting assignments. There were lots of quizzes that consisted of 25 questions which werent that difficult. Very clear grading.

Great professor with a love of his subject that he teaches and love for the students

If you take his hybrid class you really don't need to go to his class it's not like you'll learn something. Quizes are online and can be found on quizlet. Only like 2 days you should really go to class. Easy A if you do the stuff at home but you won't learn anything about psychology.

Easy online class. Discussions are optional. All you have to do is a test (25 questions) once a week. Thats it.

really outgoing can be sarcastic most of the time but its funny. Ive taken two classes with him, he is always willing to cooperate with you. He gives you choices such as if you want to retake a test or everyone just get lets say 30 out of 50 on a quiz. I had to study and learn on my own he gets off topic alot with his lectures

Professor Romeros teaching methods may seem outside the norm of a typical day in lecture . But the idea is to think outside the regular aspect of thinking and outside bis thinking to help you analyze thinking and actions throughly. The quarantine made life difficult but the course was not harder than it should have been. Thank you Prof Romero!

Professor Romero's class is something to take at least once in your lifetime. He is hilarious and pokes fun while also involving the course. I would definitely take this class again, although the emailing process can be slow- be prepared to be persistent.

I'm writing this a few years after the fact. He is crazy, but in a cool way-like a T.V. show professor. He inspired me to become a teacher, just got my credential. He introduced me to several people that helped my build a professional network. He inspired me to do well in my own education & after his class I got A's for the rest of my education.
