hes a cool teacher. all his lectures are on powerpoint and you dont need the book he gives you all the motes. hes very clear and helpful

He is a good teacher, he is a very nice guy and he tries to make everything interesting. You will take power point notes everyday, make sure to write everything down. He goes over everything that will be tested on and as long as you study your notes you should be okay. There are three tests, a paper, and a short presentation in which you will do.

very easy teacher. powerpoint notes everyday, 1 5minute presentation, 1paper on classical conditioning and 3 exams. tries to make class fun and openly invites discussion. take him

He was pretty decent teacher, he always try to make class fun and uses his personal experiences to help you understand the subject better...plus the class was pretty easy, all you have to do is just take the notes and study it and you should get a good grade...

He is VERY nice, but you can tell he's new at teaching. He seems to get a bit intimidated by the students sometimes. He does all his lectures with powerpoint. He tests from the notes and hand-outs. You don't need a book for this class... don't waste your money on one. I got a "B" pretty easily.

I dropper this class. He's really nice and willing to help, but most of the time, you're writing notes. Some people like writing notes... He always takes role, you loose points if you miss a class or you're late... So If you're the type to run late.. Don't take this class.

Prof. Aviles was a bit nervous while teaching, which was sometimes distracting, but overall not bad. Powerpoint lectures, no use of text (atleast I didn't and I still got an A). Attendance mandatory in order to get highest grade possible. Relatively easy tests, and the subject matter is broken down into its simplest format. Would def. recommend.

I loved this class, it was super easy. You don't need a textbook at all. The tests are straight from the powerpoint. He is really nice and I enjoyed it. I definitely recommend him... :)

Very good teacher, always exited about teaching and i learned a hole lot with him!

GREAT REACHER! always excited to teach. I didnt have to use the book at all. Very good class.(TAKE NOTES!!!)

Class is set up to where you fully understand what is expected of you. You have a research paper and like 2 other small papers. Homework isnt bad and thats basically it. Nice guy but kinda jumpy.

Nice guy. A little jumpy and nervous, but we all just laugh at it. Tests are straight from the homework and notes. There is 1 paper, but what can you do? Attendance is mandatory, he will drop you and your grade will suffer. Overall, pretty easy class.. except for the paper =]

Prof. Aviles' lectures are very organized. You don't want to miss any classes. Do the homework before the tests and you'll do fine. He'll teach you how to write an APA paper clearly. You really should take his 101 class so you won't have any problems with papers later in your psychology classes.

work all done online. mandatory attendance. all lectures available online so you can just listen during class and learn. if you study powerpoints alone you can manage a c or even a b. paper takes decent effort. i took soc psy and dev psych, received 2 As

he's very organized and predictable which is good he's kind of boring though his class was easy only got to do homework before a test and u can pretty much pass a test by going off the notes.. i got the same grade when i would go off the notes and read the text bk but in the end all i would do is study the notes.. the research paper isn't that hard

Professor Aviles is a very organized teacher therefore his expectaions of you are clear. What is not clear is how he uses turnitin.com. He is very unreasonable with this. It can and will greatly affect your grade if not done properly. Just be prepared for it. Otherwise, not so bad.

Dr. Aviles is boring. Every class session includes reading off of slides that he also posts on Blackboard. He explains to you that he is willing to be helpful but you might as well take notes on slides because that is all he uses. He also gives tutorials on APA format when it is COMPLETELY unnecessary. His tests are easy.

Mr.Aviles is truly a well organized preofessor. He expects you to learn the material and memorize a lot of terms and theories. It is a difficult subject, and honestly is not his fault that he might be seen as a hard or boring teacher. But over all he is a good professor who has a lot of knowledge. I strongly recommend him.

The 3 exam are base on the homework and notes so just study those and you will mostly likely score high on his exam.Apa research paper grades really hard marks you for every little thing. Show up to class every day and be on time or he will drop you in front of the hole class. But every time i went to class and he explained the notes it made more e

Dr. aviles is a preaty hard teacher he expects a lot from you, the paper he makes you wright will never be perfect! attend to all extra credit !!! hes striked on attendence, he read off the slides and HW is online, overall hes a okay teacher but he expects little too much and everything to be perfect

Good professor. Is nice and is completely open to answer questions. has power points for every chapter that you can print out, hw online, and a big research paper. For this paper, take up his offer of having him read it two weeks before it's due because APA style gets a bit complicated. He can be a big help. tests have some homework Qs.

Aviles is a pretty good teacher. Hw every week, but it all basically comes off the notes. Tests are based on the hw and the exams are based on the hw assignments also. One research paper due at the end of the semester. You dont really need the book. He tries to make class funny.

loved his class. it was so interesting to me and he's really enthusiastic about the lectures. we didnt use the book. Do all the test and homework online and do your final paper ahead of time so you can get the best grade possible because thats basically your grade:)

If you like teachers that let you slack off this is not the guy. If your into the material and psychology is your major this is the guy. His power points and homework are exactly what's on the test and a PhD from USC, how can it get any better?

Great teacher, simple work, and very clear on what's expected.

Dr. Aviles is well organized. Come to class on time, be respectful, read his PPTs, take tests online. If that is too much to ask of you, please don't blame this enthusiastic professor. Take the paper seriously, this is the challenging part of his course. Use Smarthinking and the writing center as resources. You will come out a better student.

Funny,strict, and uses powerpoints(which is ok)

He is a very good professor, however his lectures are boring. Recommend printing or doing notes before class or you won't learn anything. The test are straight from the homework. Very easy class and an enjoyable semester.

Really enthusiastic professor. Uses ppt and 25 question homework for each chapter. Not too difficult just keep up.

Professor Aviles uses blackboard for homework. Make sure you use the power points and book to complete the homework and you should have no problem. His tests tend to be based off some homework questions. So study your homework. He assigns one paper and I suggest working with him as you do it to recieve a good grade. He does assign extra credit.

The homework is on blackboard, do the homework and you'll Ace the test. The test questions come directly from it. He explains everything is relate-able, he opens up and gives real life examples. He is easy going, his paper is clear-cut. The tests are simple he even gives you the easy questions ahead of time. Only thing is BE ON TIME. Easy A

Great professor, well informed! Homework is online and Exams are about 75% of the homework. There are sometimes short essay questions on the test, which he will tell the class before the exam. He does give extra credit for a various amount of reasons. He does have 1 research paper that is done in APA style, really cares about citations/format.

Amazing teacher! The class is not hard at all. The test is based off hw questions, so if you do the hw then you should pass the test with ease. He's really nice and funny, always had the class laughing. He's one of the reasons I changed my major to psychology. He made it very interesting and now I love psychology!

As long as you study his notes for the tests, youll pass. Only two tests and some homework before the tests. (Tip: study the homework he gives for the tests. Every single question on the test is a repeat of the homework)

A really great teacher! Inspired me to study further into Psychology!

Mr Aviles is a great teacher, first he seemed grumpy but he is actually a nice person. He was clear on what needed to be done, gave lots of extra credit. He explained things with examples so the info could be understood. He gave us all the tools needed to write a research paper it was my first time ever writing a paper and i was able to manage a B.

Attendance is mandatory, the way to learn is through his lectures and he explains his powerpoints a lot so that we could understand topics better. I took him for PSY 201 and the only hard part was waking up in the morning to get to class at 8am because if you are tardy 8 times or absent 3 times, you will be dropped. He is very picky at formatting.

One of the best professors Ive had, Dr. Aviles is very straight forward on what he expects but hes also very compassionate for his students. I think hes fair on grading, and I learned so much in his class because he was not boring. He was not monotone, and always kept things interesting. Totally recommend!!!

These ratings are 50/50 of Dr. Aviles as great or awful which makes him a good professor because of mixed reviews. He's very straight forward & the lectures are always available on canvas. Impossible to not pass. He does get emotional with the correlation of lectures with personal life, but that's what makes him real and knowledgeable.

Despite the negative reviews he's a cool professor. The tests are easy as long as you do the hw. Lectures are all on canvas. 1 research paper don't procrastinate on it, and triple check your apa format. Also, he offers easy extra credit. Definitely would take him again!

Dr. Aviles is a good professor. However, his attention to detail isnt great sometimes. Some syllabus due dates were wrong. Additionally, not all of the homework question answers can be found in lecture PowerPoint. I recommend using reserve textbooks in the library (take photos of chapters needed). Lastly, I learned a lot in this interesting class!

Notes, hw, and quizzes, and other assignments are on canvas. Reading the free online textbook isn't necessary, but recommended. Lectures in class make you understand the topic more; doable online since we transferred due to covid. The hw helps you pass the tests but you cant pass the hw unless you understand the notes. Participation helps.

He is a cool professor. His class is very manageable and easy. Lectures are heavy so prepare but nothing you can't handle. Definitely will take him again.

He was respectful during the whole COVID switch from class to online. It was easy to pass his class and he was very nice

Gives thorough lectures that rarely get tiring. You will have to study these lectures for exams. Has a research paper near the end of the semester that he explains in full detail and provides an example. Overall solid professor, however the class page on Canvas could use a bit of work on to be more visually easy to navigate.

Good professor overall. The hardest thing about this course was the research paper but it wasn't too bad as long as you don't procrastinate. The tests he assigns are easy (it's just stuff from the lectures so pay attention). Only bad thing I would say is that he tends to talk about his personal life often, but to me it made class more interesting

Dr. Aviles is a great professor who gives very passionate leactes. He is very open and honest about the different stages of life so it may cause you to reflect on your own mortality. The test and exams are doable but take detailed notes and he uses two types of textbooks, one of which is online. There is also an APA essay DON'T PROCRASTINATE!

Professor Aviles is great at teaching. The only thing we did in class was listening to him lecture. He keeps it interesting by using anecdotes and jokes. The homework assignments are all multiple choice, as are the tests. I personally skipped the research paper and will end with a high grade. There is absolutely no late work, so don't procrastinate

Overall the class was really easy. He gives you the outline of how the class is going to be during the first week 2 exams 1 essay and homework due before the exam Easy. However the lecture is quite boring and you dont even need the book. My class was half online half in person so everyone took the the exam online it is timed but the homework helps

I took Professor Aviles PSY232 class and enjoyed it. Honestly just do the assignments/pay attention to lectures and you'll be fine. There is a research paper which he does take seriously don't procrastinate on it/be prepared! He does mention his personal life in class but I liked that because it helped me understand the concepts we talked about.

Professor Aviles tried to make the class fun when he could and add jokes or talk about his life which I enjoyed. Homework and tests were straightforward. Only problem I had was the paper. I got a C on the paper and it dragged my grade down. He didn't put any feedback on it even after I asked. Felt pretty confident about that one too.

Homework quizzes, 3 Exams and 1 paper. Homework quizzes are all do before exams and they are not timed. For the paper he gives many different examples on how to do it on canvas and takes the time to really explain. He records all lectures in case you miss a class. Honestly best psy teacher ever took him for a lot of classes. Everything is online

Professor Aviles is very passionate about what he does. He incorporates his personal life and makes funny jokes keeping his lectures fun and engaging. Don't procrastinate and you will be ok. Take his class, great professor !!

The reviews are not it, professor Aviles is actually very sweet. Although his lectures take up the majority of the class he makes them funny and engaging. All the hw is due before the test date so you have all time to complete he does have you complete a paper which is a big part of your grade so don't procrastinate. Would recommend!!

Although he does read off of the slides he goes in depth and makes sure that you understand the material. there are 3 exams and all the homework is due before each exam. Study the homework and you will pass his exam. He would get off topic sometimes but overall I enjoyed his stories. He has a great sense of humor.

This professor stuck to everything he said in the syllabus and even gave extra credit twice during the year. You have 1 essay, hw every weekend, 4 quizzes total. I loved his online class it was very easy. He provides both slides and videos, sometimes even putting quiz answers in the videos!

This was my second time taking him and I would do it again. You are graded based on exams, hw, quizzes, & a paper. The hw is literally your study guide and he says that multiple times. I like that he uses his own life experiences and applies it to what we are learning so that we can really get a grasp on how psych applies to the real world.

Professor was really understanding, he also explains the lectures well and simple where everyone can understand. He gives a lot of extra credit and you can ask him questions when you don't understand something and he explains it good. Professor has a strong personality so if he jokes around don't take it to heart. Overall was a good class

Professor Aviles keeps the class engaging with his personal stories and humor. While the workload can be manageable, the paper can be tricky. Unstuckstudy proved helpful for preparing for exams alongside the course materials.

Uhh I think professors are writing bad reviews on their own page to get less than average students not to take their class haha. Keep that in mind.

Don't take this class if you don't know how to properly study. I would say his class is LECTURE HEAVY. His exams aren't hard if you show up to class, pay attention to the lectures, and study. Attendance is mandatory for his class, he drops you if you're absent a lot. He's actually a nice guy, I wasn't too sure about him at first. HW is also easy.

There are a lot of lectures in his class. Be prepared to study for exams. The homework is easy. Overall an easy class you just have to do the work.

Dr. Aviles knows his stuff. He is smart. He knows his stuff. As long as you do your work and take yourself and your work seriously you will do well. If you miss a lot you will get dropped. All HW before exam due 8am day of exams. So no excuse to not get it done. Don't procrastinate on group project. Read the syllabus. Do the work. You'll be good!
