he is a good teacher,explains everything and has very detailed notes. he gives tons of(easy) extra credit so there is no way anyone should get less than a "B" in his class. I took him for intro psy 170 as well. Would definitely recommend him.

great teacher, keeps the class interesting, helpful, and gives easy extra credit, took it as a summer class and swung an A with ease.

One of the best at RVC. Interesting and positive. I only wish he taught more classes.

Very interesting and fun class

Great teacher! he makes the topic a lot easier to understand and tries to give you some hands on activities to help you out. The papers he has you write are also pretty easy.

George Hernandez is a great techer. As long as you attend classs and take notes, you should do alright. If you buy the study guide and answer go through the practice test a few times, you should be able to ace the tests. He also gives easy extra credit.

I actually learned something in this class.

Very good teacher, didn't even buy book and got an A

GREAT teacher...made psychology interesting...enjoyed his class so much took his class another semester...really happy about it...one of the few profs that gives extra credit...pretty hard not to pass w/ atleast a B

If no one's mentioned this yet, OMG "Fair Game". He's a pretty interesting teacher, he attends to questions as best as he can and keeps the class interesting. His speech pattern kinda throws me off in the way that he emphasizes certain words and phrases.

This guy is the coolest....he's funny, nice, and takes time out to give you extra help if needed. I like his demonstrations, his classes are always very interesting.

Nicest guy ever. Easy going, doesn't mind tardiness, gives extra credit for attending class. Makes learning the material actually pretty fun. Always there if you need to talk about something. If you are interested in psychology, take Hernandez.

I have had all the psych classes with various teachers and he is by FAR the best! 8 quizes he throws out your lowest 2. Power point so very easy note taking. Very willing to help anybody. His exams are so fair, and relatively easy. He does have several short answers on each exam, but he gives you plenty of time to prepare.

He makes class actually interesting. Best teacher I have had so far at RVC. I love his teaching methods and his attitude towards life. Tests and quizes are easy if you pay attention to the notes.

He is awesome!! He made me want to take up a psychology career..but you have to have your masters to do anything with it..so n/m! But...hes so "FAIR" he gives a lot of extra credit as well..so if you bombed a test you still may be able to pull off an A or B! He makes class fun..just dont be late for class!!

I think he is a good teacher. He is very straight forward. I like it that he gives extra credit.

The best psy professor at RVC! Don't be late to class, that is when quizzes happen, if your late, you lose out. Power point per class period,8 quizzes he burns 2. Group, take home, and open book quizzes very easy! Easy A, awesome professor!!! Tests are very fair, no trick questions!

This class is an easy A but boring. One you need to buy the book for though.

great class was the reason i am now majoring in psychology, thanks mr. hernendaz!

Very nice teacher. Uses powerpoint. Keeps it interesting with class participation, demonstrations, illustrations. Nice guy. I enjoyed this class.

EASILY UNDERSTOOD, MAKES EXAMPLES FOR ALL THE THEORIES

1st day tells you exactly what u need to do to pass his class, TAKE HIS ADVICE! If you need help,ASK! he is a real good teacher,too much to learn though n not enough time.at times it gets boring tho! i wouldnt take it in the mornin,you may not stay awake! =]

He is a great teacher. He makes things so easy to understand. There are no trick questions. I wish I could have him for all my classes. It was an easy class.

Dr. Hernandez is a great teacher, his class is interesting and he'll answer any questions. He definitely knows his subject, I had psy 170 and then 2 other classes with him, so i'd HIGHLY recommend him, GREAT TEACHER

This guy spends the whole semester analyzine you, it is very annoying. He talks like he is god's gift which is also annoying. He does give ALOT of extra credit, but also gives pop quizzes this class you have to go to everytime! and read the book b/c lecture notes really have nothing to do with the test.

Listen yeah you have to go to class. Wow, welcome to college. This class isn't an easy "A" but it is very possible to get one. Extra credit is given out all the time and you get points for going to class.Also he tells you exactly what you need to do to do well. Would take again!!!!

He is a great professor.

VERY COOL TEACHER!!!!!!! TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS FROM YOU. HAS VERY GREAT STORIES TO TELL AS WELL

Took for a summer course, very intense, but the lecture style made it easy to retain. Tests were not as demanding as they could have been. Four-hour lectures during Interim I, and I still thought he was good- that tell you something?

he is a very good teacher. lectures are never boring, he always has a good story, great sense of humor. i would recommend him if you have a lot of time to study. he is a pretty cool guy tho.

This was pretty much a 'show up, take notes, and get an A' class, but not necessarily because of simple material. It is easy to make associations with a really good lecturer, and all of the take home quizzes didn't hurt. A stand-up professor that really cares about the job and his students.

awesome TEACHER !!!! VERY CLEAR

Dr. Hernandez is an amazing professor. He is very straightforward and from the first class lets you know what is expected from you. Read the book, take notes (given in PowerPoint) and turn in your written assignments and you'll do fine. He's very helpful, ask questions! I liked his class so much I am taking another this semester with him! Terrific!

This guy is one of my favorite teachers. I took him twice now and would love to take him again. He is very very clear when he lectures and he gets the class involved with the subject. uses a lot of examples when talking. you should do well if you show up, pay attention, take notes and study. you dont need to read but its helpful.

Very good professor

He is the best professor that Iv'e had so far. Very cool.

He did a good job.

Great professor. Show up, take notes, read and you'll definately be fine. Very interesting to listen to, not a hard class if you just pay attention. Best teacher I've had this semester

TAKE THIS CLASS! Not hard at all as long as you listen in class and do the reading. He is very interesting and you learn a lot from this class.

The best teacher ever! He makes his class so interesting we watched many u you-tube viedos that related to different topics of psychology

Mr. Hernandez is a good teacher. He respects the students and wants them to do well. As an older returning student, I felt Mr. Hernandez did a good job. Now, if I can get my husband to just take his class all would be good.

Excellent Professor. Explains things well and gives very good examples. They really help you learn more about the subject. Also it is probably best to attend class. It may help you get a better grade.

A good guy. I was in his class over the summer and really learned about psychology. I was not interested in the subject before his class. I am going back to U of I this fall and I just might take another psychology class in the Spring. He did a good job.

Amazing teacher, Highly recommend, Dont take anyone else!!!

I took him for spring semester and hes very helpful, supper nice, and even though his lectures are power points for the most part and taking notes he is NOT boring! I would really recommend him.

He is a great professor!

I loved this class even though it was an 8am class lol He makes everything really interested. Its completely lecture notes and you studying for the quizzes and exams. The few homework assignments are not that difficult. If you do the work and show up you'll get a good grade. Take this class!

He has a pretty straightforward class: notes and tests. Nothing tricky, but he really does know his stuff, and his examples really helped me learn the material

Great teacher! His class was so easy and there is nothing tricky about it! He lectures with PowerPoint so class can get a little on the dull side at time. But I would DEFINITELY recommend him!

I took his accelerated summer course and really enjoyed it. A few people complained that his tests were hard but they're not if you study. Read the chapters, memorize the vocab words and you'll get an A.

Many in my class thought it was really challenging. Hernandez stresses the use of the book and not waiting till last minute to cram all of the vocab words. Tests were extremely easy if you know how to apply the vocab, and the final is just another section exam (non cumulative) I highly recommend his class!

He intimidates you at first but he's actually nice. Keep up with the readings. The final is not cumulative and he has take home quizzes. Tests are straightforward, if you do the readings. More than willing to help you understand concepts.

Also had him for PSY 170. Textbook reading is a must in order to be successful. Tests are about 2/3 multiple choice and 1/2 short essay/short answer. Lecture format with PowerPoint. Listen closely, take really good notes, and read the book!

Everything you need to know is either in the chapter or on his powerpoint slides. He's not out to get you and he really wants you to succeed, so pay attention in his lectures and read the book. He answers questions really well too

He was a good teacher. Everything was clear about what he expected of you. He always had good examples to relate to what he was teaching. Not a lot of homework, but when we had it it was nothing too bad. I am planning on taking him again soon.

Excellent instructor very clear gave quizes which is where a lot of the exam questions are from read the book and take good notes and you will so fine

Although the class is not the easiest, Hernandez is awesome at explaining the material. Lots of topics to go over. Hernandez also goes over on the first day to take the class seriously. Don't screw around and always miss class and you will do fine. Drops 2 quizes and a homework from final grade. All over he is an amazing professor.

The class is not the easiest, he does everything in his power to make the class easier. Keep up on the reading and you will do great in the class. His quizzes are not the easiest but he will take questions right off them and put them on the tests. Look his teaching style. While he was lecturing there were times I was like WOW! Great Professor!!

I truly enjoyed his classes. He was very entertaining, provided a clear and simple understanding of the studies, and provided you with exactly what you need to know and allowed you to use the notes on quizzes, or even got to take them home, easy homework assignments, and extra credit given.

Easy class if you attend it and read the assigned chapters. Dr. Hernandez is very good at what he does. He really makes this stuff stick. Quizzes are easy and the questions on the quizzes are also on the test. Tests are easy too. Loved the class.

Dr. Hernandez is a fantastic Psych. Prof! Decent amount of note-taking, lots of reading, but it's ok because it's a very interesting course. Small amount of homework. Quizzes (which he will sometimes let you take home)are important due to the fact most questions are on the Exams( 3 non-accumulative Exams through out semester) Def. take again!

Hernandez is very organized and straightforward. He tells you upfront how the course is going to play out. Always do the readings because there are several pop quizzes throughout the semester. He's a great teacher who's willing to help students.

Dr Hernandez is amazing! Had him for intro psy and now have him for life span! Out of all the professors at Rvc he is the best! He is clear about what he expects out of you and that if you don't read, you don't do good in the class! There are a lot of notes but he makes the class so interesting that you forget your taking notes! Test are easy!

Awesome teacher!! Knows what he is talking about! Gives you all the tools to succeed!!

He's not "easy", but not hard. Very thorough. Love his class!

Professor Hernandez was very thorough in lecture and in his expectations. It is a fast paced class. Make sure that you keep up with the reading. He drops one homework and a quiz. This class was not on Eagle so you had to calculate your grade on your own by adding up the points.

Prof. Hernandez is a great professor. He's super nice, but expects a lot from his students. His tests and quizzes kill your grade if you don't study. Would definitely recommend him if you're thinking of Psych as a major. You don't use the textbook in class ever, but it's super helpful for tests; he tests on stuff not covered in class. Overall great

He is very clear and very demanding if you do not read. His test are tough because they go beyond definitions.

My cousin and I took his class. She had some friends who bragged about not reading and sometimes did not come to class. They both dropped the class after he told the class he would not offer additional extra credit at the end of the semester to save a grade. They needed to earn it on tests and work. I got an A, my cousin got a B, we read.

Dr. Hernandez is tough but fair. I liked his straightforward manner.

He tells you from day one that if you pay attention and read the book you will do fine. He warns you that there will be pop quizzes and to be ready for them. Do what he says READ THE BOOK. He is a nice guy. As long as you come to class, pay attention, and read the book you will get an A.

Prof Hernandez is very laid back, easy to understand, and very willing to help. He tells you right away if you read the books and pay attention, you'll be fine. He likes to give examples to illustrate a point which I really like - makes things much easier to understand and remember. I really enjoy this class.

Great teacher, some quizzes are take home but all are unannounced, focus on the short answer questions between exams and study the quizzes. Connects well with students' learning by giving good examples and has a lot of research studies in his power point lectures to give you a good idea on the material. Very clear on what he expects.

Hernandez wasn't the nicest teacher I've taken, but he is a very good professor. He is crystal clear when it comes to his expectations for you. Come to class, take notes, and do the reading and you will pass. He is a very interesting teacher and his in class examples are fun, I would definitely recommend him.

Very good teacher, I took him twice and got the same grade in each class. He explain everything very well and his test are somewhat based on the tests. But if you do well on the quizzes you can study them because some questions from the quiz come up on the test. He was just a great teacher that I ever had so far. I would recommend him.

I haven't taken that many classes at Rock Valley College yet but so far this was my favorite teacher (I do love psychology so that could have swayed my opinion). He gives pop quizzes, so try and come to class every day. As long as you show up and take notes, and occasionally read the textbook, you should easily get an A.

Dr. Hernandez is a refreshingly reliable professor. He never deviates from the syllabus and is always willing to help. If you take a class with him, I recommend reading the book because that's where he gets his quiz and exam questions from. Lectures are amazing and the papers are short. He does give some extra credit opportunities.

Great lectures, lots of reading. Very clear that if you don't pay attention in class and do the reading you won't pass. Tests and quizzes ok. Tests have essay questions, but he tells you a what could be an essay so you have an idea. Really nice guy, stayed after class to answer questions and was there for office hours.

He's my favorite teacher at RVC. He really made things easy to understand and showed great examples. He's pretty funny. The tests are pretty easy if you study and there are pop quizzes, but occasionally he lets you take them home or he tells you that there will be one.

Great guy. Is interesting and does what he loves.

One of my Favorite professor at RVC

Great professor. A lot of lectures but is interesting. Pop quizzes do occur and aren't the easiest, but overall the lecture notes are what the tests consist of. Funny guy. Would take again.

Hernandez is a cool teacher. You can't expect an A for free though, you have to earn it. Gives good grades on papers

Favorite professor!

Great professor. His lectures are all on PowerPoints and he gives you plenty of time to copy them down. There are 6 pop quizzes which are not to hard, but his test are pretty challenging and the book would definitely help out but you don't need it.

I found Dr. Hernandez's class to be easy overall if you just show up and read the book. He does give pop quizzes which aren't bad if you study, plus he offers 3-5 points of extra credit each test.

Dr. Hernandez is honestly an amazing guy. He tells you what he is looking for in every chapter, tells you want to read and what to not read, and gives you a heads up on exams. Would reccomend this class to anyone who enjoys psychology, or is interested. You won't regret it.

Professor Hernandez is a real down-to-earth guy with a dry sense of humor. Exams aren't too difficult. Make sure to actually read the textbook as material that he does not go into great detail about (or simply does not cover) in class is present in both exams and pop quizzes. There are a few essays in this class, but they aren't long and are easy.

Professor Hernandez is a great professor, very dedicated to his job. I have taken him twice and would take him again. Stay caught up on reading the chapters and you'll do just fine. He is very dedicated to helping you understand the concepts and wants you to do well. He is great.

He's honestly an amazing psych teacher and a funny one at that as well. His lectures, although lengthy, are very informative, descriptive, and hilarious. I find it very easy to relate to his lectures and understand them because he uses current examples. I would definitely take him again! Just be prepared to read A Lot.

A really good introduction class to psych with Professor Hernandez. Very lecture heavy, but gives clear directions for preparing for exams. There are several pop quizzes, but a good professor to take.

Great professor, his lectures take a long time due to the fact that he spends a lot of time on each slide. Most quizzes are take home and test questions are often taken directly from quizzes. Highly recommend using the book because some questions are verbatim out of the book

He's a really great professor. I learned a lot from his lectures, and he makes the material interesting. There were few papers, but his tests were long with difficult essays. I never even opened my book. You can pass with a decent grade from just the lecture notes and by showing up.

Prof. Hernandez seems to be very passionate about psychology. I enjoyed his classes very much. Obviously, you will enjoy it more if you're already into psychology. He makes it clear what he looks for in tests. I recommend actually looking through the book because the quizzes and essay questions are directly out of there.

He is a great professor. In class it is lecture heavy and that is all you ever really do. He is big on showing up to class and participating in class, it is actually a part of your grade. It is important to read the chapters because his lectures do NOT cover everything on the test.

Mr Hernandez is a fair teacher and lets you know how it is! You have to study for his exams if you want to pass, hes great at answering questions clearly. Dont expect to get know his personaly or joke around with him. Hes serious about teaching but hes great at it.

Great teacher who is extremely thorough and actually enjoys his job. Professor is fair, relays the lecture with examples that are easy to follow along with videos to help you remember the material instead of just note taking.

Dr. Hernandez gives very insightful lectures. You can tell he's really invested in his work and that he enjoys teaching psychology. I recommend his class if you are interested in the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of the lifespan development. I really like that he doesn't dismiss controversial topics and that he is very open minded.

I just took his class this summer, he's an amazing professor, so respectful and made me love Psychology. want to get A? attend class regularly and read. be ready for pop quizzes. the class isn't easy but he made it enjoyable. you'll definitely learn a lot from him. I asked him to take the exam early due to traveling, he said yes. he makes thing EZ

Hernandez made me love this class and psychology itself. Very easy class- told us there would be pop quizzes but were all take home. Very chill guy and you can tell he loves what he does. 10/10 would take again

The lectures were amazing. Without a doubt, it was his lectures that made me interested in the content. If you rate him low, it is only because you didnt do the work. Its still a class, just pay attention and study. His way of teaching had me thinking for days and even almost change my major. Best professor out there.

One of the best professors Ive ever had! Keeps class super interesting and I actually look forward to every lecture. Exams actually follow what is gone over in class, so just being there and listening will be an easy grade. Fun, understanding, and easy to talk to/ask for help. Seriously, cannot recommend this professor more

Learned so much. 6 pop quizzes throughout the semester. Also 2 papers and 3 tests. Tests are easy if you pay attention and read the book. 7 short answer questions are the most difficult part of his tests. Only downfall is his monotone voice that made the class seem like it was 3 hours long sometimes. His lectures put me to sleep sometimes.

Dr. Hernandez is probably one of the best professors at RVC hands down. He is so passionate about teaching his students psychology and is willing to explain something more in depth if youre not understanding it. You have to read the book and of course pay attention during lectures to pass the exams.

Mr. Hernandez is one of my favorite professors at RVC. He gets straight to the point and is point with schedule. Beware of pop quizzes as we do not know when they will come, and keep up with the reading because they are based off of that. I honestly had a great experience with him, we most definitely need more people like him. I rate him a 10/10.

So understanding and helpful!

His short answer questions are tough but you get plenty of time ahead to be sure you understand them. He gave quite a few extra credit assignments, he ended up adding extra! Id take his class again, just have to really study those short answer questions!

Best professor for Psy. He is very helpful when needed and very straightforward on what he expects. Essay question are probably the hardest part out of this course. He will do anything for you to pass as long as you are willing to work. Gives usual amount of hw. The quizzes are basically a study guide for exam. Have to attend and lectures read.

Dr. Hernandez is probably one of the best professors at Rock valley college.

Professor Hernandez is a very good professor. I've had him twice and he's the best psychology teacher there is.

There is not a lot of homework assignments, but there is a decent amount of quizzes and exams. He allows you to have a sheet of notes during each exam which is very helpful. He offers a good amount of extra credit during the course as well. The textbook used is also free.

He is a very good teacher as well as very understanding. There is not much homework and most of the classes you just take notes. For quizzes he sometimes lets you use your notes as well as take it with classmates and for tests you get a sheet of paper with your notes on it. Showing up to class is extra credit, which is great! He is amazing!

Professor Hernandez is knowledgable and interested in the material while teaching classes. He shows lots of care and understanding towards his students as well. Would love to have him as a professor again.

His class was very easy and I enjoyed it a lot. Lectures are straight to the point and he tells you exactly what to know for tests and quizzes (which were online). Only 4 homework assignments and they were super easy. I am taking him again in the fall!

Professor Hernandez is clear and concise, explaining expectations thoroughly and communicating ideas effectively. Definitely would take him again!

Prof Hernandez is a great professor. I've taken a few of his classes, and every semester, his class is the one I don't have to stress out about and spend hours studying for. He provides plenty of extra credit and allows a full sheet of notes (front & back) during exams. He's a good lecturer, and it's clear he's passionate about what he teaches.

Dr. Hernandez is an awesome teacher and a great person. He is very upfront about what he expects from you and is giving constant reminders on the due dates of things. His lectures are thought provoking and he does a great job of putting concepts into real life situations. If you have the opportunity to take Dr. Hernandez I recommend you do so.

Great job!

One of the best professors I've had. He makes class interesting and easy to follow. Although his lectures are very informational, I would recommend reading the book too for additional information. You have to write an essay for every exam and he's big on details so make sure to come prepared!

Dr. Hernandez is an amazing professor! I plan on taking my 3rd psych class with him. He gives you feedback on assignments, he lets you use a one pager for exams as well. Assignments are fairly easy and reading the textbook is helpful too. He is very easy to talk to and also one of my favorite teachers at RVC!

If you are needing an easy A, this class is for you. There are extra credit, 4 exams, 2 written projects. If you try, you will easily get an A. Don't let the amount of homework stress you. it's very simple and laid back. This class covers alot of material but overall a great class.

Great Class. Great Teacher. I took 8 week summer class and it really helped with the workload of my other classes. Everything was straightforward and was graded as it would be said to. Just take this class.

Professor Hernandez's class is straightforward - tests are textbook-focused, but his lectures are engaging. The workload is manageable with some quizzes and assignments. unstuck study was a great study tool alongside the free textbook resources.

Attendance is not mandatory but you do get extra credit for showing up. One quiz and homework assignment gets dropped. He allows a cheat sheet for exams, one piece of paper double-sided. He is good at explaining concepts and also points out what will be on the exam. I do recommend skimming the textbook since not everything gets covered in depth.

He is a very nice professor and as long as you do your reading you'll do good in the class. You can use a cheat sheet on the tests.

The other ratings are true. Great Professor, easy class. Just take it.

I have got to say, amazing professor. He is really knowledgeable and is passionate about teaching. He is always ready to talk and help you out during office hours. He was so kind and I wish I could take him again. Would recommend him to anyone.

Professor Hernandez is a kind and caring person. He helps you succeed in his class and answers your questions to the best of his ability. He doesn't show favoritisim and is not against students. He doesn't judge anyone and doesn't make fun of anyone.
