Dr. Romero is the best teacher (along with Dr. Shew) that I've had at GCC. He's hilarious and I love his accent! He shows lots of little videos, and he seems very "young" which I think helps to keep the class interested and on the same level. If you're taking any psych class, make sure he teaches it first and take his class!

I took this class online and you are recorded while taking the tests. For the online class, it is a discussion post every week and a test every few weeks. He takes awhile to respond to your messages and it kind of seems like he is not even there to be honest. I wish I took him in person to see how he really is.

Amazing professor! Dr. Romero makes his lectures extremely interesting, I was always excited to go to his class and we all know that is a rare feeling. He gives out barely any homework only a few simple writing assignments throughout the semester. Overall Romero made me excited to learn about psychology.

Dr. Romero's class was one of the more enjoyable classes I took that semester. Show up, participate in discussions, and with bare minimum study you will get an A. He offers a few extra credit opportunities. He is not an overly critical grader. The lectures are usually very interesting if you have the slightest interest in psychology.

Outstanding professor! Makes his lectures interesting and you can genuinely tell he has a passion for teaching. By far one of the bests professors at GCC. If youre having trouble understanding a concept he is always willing to dive deeper into it.

Dr. Romero has incredible content and makes the learning easier and engaging. Online course was the perfectly difficult, quizzes and online papers at least every week. Only downside is course doesn't get published until a few days before due dates. No assigned textbook is also a plus!

Best class I have ever taken, a 50 minute class with Romero feels like 10 minutes due to how interesting and fun the topic and class is, and Dr. Romero just makes it even better he offers something very few professors have. This was the only class I have ever had where I truly wanted to be there and loved the class.

He's an awesome teacher! He's really passionate and actually tries to get the class to open up about themselves. He isn't too harsh of a grader and doesn't give out too many assignments. We did one group project which was lots of fun. Definitely recommend his classes.

Dr. Romeros class is probably the best class I think Ill ever take in my academic career. He explained positive psychology very well by adding his own touch. We were provided tools, such as brain headbands to meditate in class and apps off-campus. The discussions were probably the best part as he allowed us to go on and explore the material.

I picked this class because I was told that the workload was not much. I work full-time around 9-10 hrs per day and don't have much free time. I read the syllabus, and it clearly stated that I should only expect to spend about 6-9 hrs/week. However, the class consisted of 6, 3-page essays and 6 exams. Along with no exceptions for late work.

One of my first classes I chose to take online due to COVID. There were bout 7 papers we had to write and to know what we had to write about, we had to listen to a stupid hour-long podcast for ALL of them. Not an article, not a video, a PODCAST. There were also weekly multiple-choice quizzes and discussions. This was the first class I ever dropped

He wants you to succeed not only in his class, but your whole education. He loves to write and assigns a few papers. If you have difficulty writing he is really good at showing you what he wants on the papers. He does not give much homework out. Really great guy!

Dr. Romero is a very caring professor who has a heart for teaching and inspiring others! Class discussions were always interesting and applicable to your own life. You will be required to write essays instead of exams which personally I preferred because it eliminated the stress of test-taking. 10/10 recommend this class!

Professor Romero was an amazing professor! I took a live online class with him and he really kept the class intreasting and knew how to keep us engaged. Be prepared to have an 1,000 word essay due every 2 weeks on a subject you are learning in class. He grades very fairly,as long as you do your work and put in effort you will get a good grade.

Dr. Romero understands positive psychology and makes the material accessible. He tries not to make the class stressful yet ensures students learn. He sees the course as potentially life changing and a way to make the world a better place, so he cares that students succeed. This was one of the most practical classes I've taken.

I loved this class!! It was profoundly insightful, and Dr. Romero was excellent at delivering the content, while engaging the participants. While it was an online course, he took the time to set up a weekly zoom class (which was optional) and he recorded the lesson so that the other students could watch it and participate at a later point. ���
