Awesome teacher! Really cares about students and tells hilarious stories! Quiz every week and 5 very short reflection papers you get to write about yourself and learn about yourself. Lots of classroom activites and cool videos too! Take this teacher! You won't regret it.
Heather is the best professor I have ever had. She is so passionate about what she teaches and she really does care about students. Her positive attitude made learning fun and she encourages you to learn about yourself too. This class is great.
I'm not a psy major but I had to take this class for requirement and I'm glad I did. A top notch teacher like the others said. She explains what's expected and she is very fair. I liked the activites we did and passed a couple of them on to my girlfriend who thought they were pretty cool too.
She's Just Overall Great! iCouldn't Have Chosen A Better Psy Teacher! She's Eager And Supper Excited To Be In Class Just A Joy! Class Brings Great Peace And Relaxness! No Hardwork. Learn A Lot About You As A Person And The World Around You!. Amazing Class To Take :)
This teacher rocks!! I still remember stuff she taught from even the 1st week! I dont knw what it is, but she has a way of getting you interested..plus she's hella funny and cares about the students. You should take this teacher
This rating site is ok, but the real review is all over the campus with students talking about an amazing teacher named Heather. I dont even have enugh good words to say how she helped me change my life for the better.She is so much more than just a teacher.I had no idea how amazing this clss would be and Heather is exactly what I heard-"The Best"!
she is like a teacher and a life coach all rolled in to one. Wish I had her for every class. Be prepared to share about yourself. People who like to hide in the back and not talk wo't get much out of the class. very supportive teacher and always positive!
Heather is absolutely awesome! She makes the class fun by doing something different each day. This is the only class that I have ever looked forward to going to. If you need to take Psychology - don't miss your chance to meet this woman!
Took the summer class and it was extremely good! Quizzes on every chspter but you go over them 1st in class. Really helped me remember the information this way. Professor Heather is awesome. Knows her stuff and kept the class awake in a 4 hr class. Probably one of the best Ive had!
Heather is amazing. My only complaint would be her lack of in depth explanation on anything. She keeps her class interesting, but its more of a self exploration than a psychology class. Regardless, this class was fun and she is a wonderful woman.
My favorite class ever! We did learn about ourselves for sure but we learned a lot about psychology too. Attachment theory was my favorite and all the activities babies need for their brains. If I had to sit through some boring lecture I would have died!
Excellent profesor! Excellent class. You get to learn things you never thought about like how breathing more slow makes you feel better! She never shames anybody and we got to laugh a lot too. This class changes people for the better.
heather has a love for teaching that affects everyone around her. This class is atypical in every way. No exams, one big presentation (that wasn't bad at all) and a ton of writing (which wasn't bad either).The journals were actually really helpful with my stress management levels. Thanks Heather! Great semester.
I can't say enough about Heather. She is amazing, helpful, caring, funny, and smart. She s a beautiful human being and I was lucky to have her as an instructor. You need to go to class but if you do that and turn in your assignments theres no reason you won't get an A
I could write a novel about how the system needs more professors like this woman. Yes, she is well educated but more than that her attitude makes learning fun! Don't think you can't show up much and still pass though. It's work. But it's fun!
I honestly can't put into words just how interesting and fun this class was. Heather is an amazing professor who is not only well educated, but loves the subject she teaches. I don't know where else you can go to get a psychology lesson, a philosophical conversation, and a Yoga practice, all fit perfectly into two hours.
If you don't do awesome in this class its your own fault. Mrs Johnson is the best! I learned alot and had a good time in class
Amazing teacher! Wonderful person. Inspirational woman! I will use techniques I learned in her class for a lifetime! Wonderful class.
You have to give a 2 minute presentation on a chapter that relates to your life which I loved hearing others stories. Also there is a quiz on every ch. and 5 papers but dont worry they are short and not too bad. Until you take this teacher yourself nobody can express just how awesome she is. Do yourself a favor and try to get into her class.
Excellent teacher, she fosters a stress free, no hassle and fun educational environment!
I have to say this professor is one of the few left who really cares about student success and she is very fair. She won't accept late papers but she is willing to help out students and meet them halfway as much as possible. She also teaches concepts you will definitely use in real life!One of the most enlightening classes I have taken!
Great class, amazing professor! I learned so much and looked forward to coming to class. The papers are a good way to understand yourself better and you go over the quizzes in class most of the time. Major like on this professor!
Professor Valle does not miss any details when it comes to teaching and motivating. she makes the class extremely comfortable to share stories. The work is easy if you listen, study, and write. She has your best interest in mind and education. I recommend having her as a teacher because she is worth the work. And she's a comedian in a scholar.
By far the best proffessor I have had at butte! Great class and material I can actually use in real life. Do the papers and easy presentation or you won't pass but I highly recommend her!
this class renewed my confidence in going back to school. i didnt think i could do it. and with the professors kind words and encouragement i passed with flying colors. also changed my major to psy! :) i would reccomend ANYONE to take her classes. changed my college life
This teacher changes your life…for the better! Take her! There aren’t many teachers like her around. I use so much from her class in my life. The workload seemed a lot at forst but once you get into it, it’s useful and I had no problem keeping up. You have a paper due every week and the points add up so stay on top of those.
This class should be taught as part of required classes. Professor Heather made the class what it is. She is organized, an incredible leader but kind and hilarious!I was worried about all the homework, but somehow I did it. Heather was born to be a teacher thats for sure. Great class.
Heather is amazing. She has this poise that is so welcoming. She let's the students provide commentary on the subject. Always listening to the student. "Don't mistake her kindness for weakness"-Heather Valle. It's true she's a strong person who stands by her values w/o impeding on you. Take this class. I miss it.
Heather is, hands down, the greatest professor i've ever had. Not only does she provide help to her best ability, she is HILARIOUS. I took her 8am class and i'm not a morning person but I found myself enjoying waking up to go to her class. She never judges your stories and what you learn in this class, you will carry on forever. LOVE HER!!!
Heather is very supportive and provides an environment fit for power with students and not over. Virtues come mutually within the principles inclusive of one's experiential learning. Heather is very aware of her students needs, while she is very entertaining, free spirited, and understands how to employ comfort to a room. Light and love Heather.
She is amazing!!! I love her group tests!! They are amazing, you'd think that taking group tests would be a chance to cheat! But noooo you actually learn a lot!! Plus it clarifies everything!! Love the class Love Love Love this professor. Take it!
Heather is one of the happiest people I know. She is unafraid to make a fool out of herself in order to help students learn better. Every time I go to her class, I come out feeling inspired. Very few, if any students have dropped, at the end of the semester there are still not enough seats in the classroom. She makes me proud to be at my college.
What I love about heather is that she is always come to class prepared for the day while at the same time hilarious and super supportive of students!! You wont believe how much you learn from her class!! This teacher is very fair but she expects you to do the work. No free pass. Take my word though you will love her!!
If you dont take Peace psyc you are missing out!! My eyes became open since day 1 of class about global issues and how peace is possible and also why people resort to violence. There is a lot of writing in this class and a lot of work like the the posterboard project but its actually interesting you will be amazed. Thank you Heather!!
OMG!! I love Ms. Valle She was so helpful and really listens to her students. I took her last summer and can't wait to take her again this fall for Psy 6. She gives you reading assignments & you must write the papers. She gives you the chance to express what you think through & by way of experiences. Pretty funny and VERY Compassionate!!!!!!!
One in a million. A true spirtitual guide to the lost mind of the struggling college student. Honest and actually there for the class. Opens minds hearts and souls of her students. I heard she has saved the world from cthulhu many times. Was a member of the justic league. And turned down the positiont of queen of the world... twice.
Its all true Heathers class with change your life. Go find out for yourself. At the very least you will laugh a lot because the woman is funny and entertaining as it gets at a school. Shes a secret Ninja at getting people to learn. Best teacher I have ever met! Yogapsyc! Its whats up.
Heather has been mentor to me and other students, and theres not enough words to describe how much she cares about students!! She always says how much she loves her job but its all of us who love HER! She helped me be a better student and a better person. She will push you to become the best version of yourself but you have to do the work!!!!
I dont write on here normally but do use it to check out teachers so thought Id give back to the next person. The workload was heavy for me to keep up working 30 hours a week plus school so dont take if you dont have time for the homework. Alot of writing and reading. As a teacher she is great. Good personality and you can relate to her.
Heather helped me figure out my major and booked a tour for a group of us students to chico state. It was amazing! She doesnt force her opinions on you and always says take what you like and leave the rest which has helped me with sooo much in my life. Great class and information I can use.
I have taken 3 classes with Heather now and as far as taking psychology, I plan to take more with her. She does give a lot of work so thats true but nothing you cant handle. Shes reasonable and gives group exams. She grades everything fast and its like she takes the lectures and makes them one part life lesson and one part comedy. Take her!
Brings the textbook alive. An amazing teacher with a great personality. If you need help, she will do anything in her power to help you. Truly the best teacher I have ever had!
Heather is probably the best professor out there. She truly cares for each of her students and wants them to succeed. If you need help, even if it doesn't pertain to the class, she will go above and beyond to help you. She is a great person and deserves all the praise she gets. Take every class with this amazing woman!
Probably one of the nicest ladies you will ever meet. She's a therapist and you can really see that she cares about every single one of her students deeply, she's also pretty dang funny. Very easy class. Take it.
She expects you to know the syllabus, show up for class, participate and be involved. It's not a hard class but participation is mandatory. If you skip classes, it will show up on your grade. If you are open, it might change your life.
Love Heather as a professor! She loves her material and her students, is a great communicator, and the class is a joy to attend!
Absolutely an amazing instructor. Caring, inspiring, funny as anything, energetic, creative... I could go on and on. I really enjoyed this class and have stayed in touch with many classmates and the instructor.
I learned so much in her class. This is one class you always look forward to, even if you are low on energy. She is upbeat, supportive and really truly enjoys teaching. She is knowledgeable, and if there is something she doesn't know, she will find out for you. She is exceedingly funny... and just a pleasure to be around. Take ANY of her classes.
Awesome teacher. Makes learning easy and fun!!
She is the most amazing teacher I have had. She breaks things down so that you can understand them.
Heather Valle is amazing. Hilarious, outgoing, and kind-hearted. Taking Peace Psychology with her changed my life. Everyone should take this class, and go into it with an open mind and an open heart. Heather makes everyone feel welcome and if you're quiet like me, she doesn't force you to talk like some teachers do. There is an easy amount of work.
Great teacher! I enjoyed the class, there are pop quizzes which you get to take as a group. There's also a 10 minute PowerPoint presentation, you'll do fine even if you don't present for 10 minutes (add a YouTube video you can talk about and that will eat up some of your time). If you show up it's an easy A! Very understanding teacher.
THE MOST AMAZING TEACHER IN THE WORLD! SO INSPIRATIONAL,MOTIVATING, AMAZING HUMAN BEING, AND CARING TEACHER YOU WILL EVER MEET. I recommend her highly because she will change your life in such an amazing way. Her work ethic and passion is very exemplified.
When I saw that Heather had 100% approval rating I was like, well duh! She is seriously fabulous. I loved her classes so much that if I ever skipped another class I would still show up to hers. She is such a ray of sunshine and truly inspirational. And she treats your like a real person, sometimes life comes up and she is so realistic. Loved her.
She is very sweet and there are 3 weekly assignments, quizzes are easy. Great class, there is a lot of reading but all very interesting.
Heather is what you would call Extraordinary and Amazing. It is nearly impossible to fail unless you want too. There is a decent amount of reading and lecture. You are able to take the exams in pairs. The test's are difficult, unless you are present for lecture and read the material presented. Extra Credit is available.
She's absolutely wonderful!
Amazing class. Very enjoyable teacher, very caring and is a very social person, making it easy to talk to.
She really rocks. One of the most kind and genuine people I have ever come across. Great explainer and she understands her students. So rad.
If you are a nursing major and you have the option of taking CDF 14 or PSY 15, take this class! I took this online while taking Chemistry, Statistics, and Physiology, and this class did not add any real extra load to my workload like the their courses! No exams. Weekly quizzes, journal entries, and group posts. Final is a 1200 word paper.
Heather is by far one of the best teachers at Butte. She cares so deeply about her students and it's obvious she loves what she teaches. It's important to be in class because she does cover a lot in PowerPoints and gives extra information not found on Canvas sometimes. Very upbeat. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an interesting class!
Butte has a few instructors who will change your life and expect you to work for it. Heather is one of those. The class is amazing its true but anyone can teach information. It's WHO she is that has earned the respect she has. I never realized that I live the theories every single day and it changed my whole view. Recommened to the MAX.
Most accessible and caring teacher ever. The information you will learn can potentially be life changing. It has been for many of us.
Amazing and very friendly. Favorite professor so far.
Awesome! ALIVE and is a truly gifted teacher!
Amazing, loves her students so much! Takes time to get to know each student individually. Makes learning fun.
Heather will change your life, guaranteeed! She is so knowledgeable and you leave her class not only smarter on content, but on life. She is all about you! She is beyond caring and considerate and absolutely loves her job and the students. I wish I could take all of her classes. She is by far the BEST professor, if you can, take her! TRUST ME!
Heather is such a sweet and caring professor. It is clear she genuinely cares for her students and their growth! Class is easy, but also interesting. One of the best professors I've had.
Nothing I can add here that hasnt been said. Shes incredible and changed my life. Legit. Take her class. Dont expect to pass if you like to make excuses. She asks a lot of you but will meet you halfway if you put in effort to be your best. Gave me a whole new "set of tools" for my life and school journey as she likes to say.
There is just way too many good things I can say about this teacher. If you take a class with her she might just change your life! I highly recommend her!
Great teacher, although this particular class was in online her personality and style was just as present as if it was a classroom class. classwork is outlines, offered different levels of extra credit, and pushed for no book but instead had us go to a free book website as well as post our reading in the modules! Amazing class and better teacher.
Heather is so good as a teacher! she makes her lectures interesting. No final no tests just weekly quizzes but they are from the online book that she gives you! weekly journals, post, and replies. Don't worry you will love them, they are related to you and make you grow as a person and heal wounds. I would take all my psy courses with her if possib
Excellent!! best teacher ever!! I wish i could have taken all my past psy classes with her. she is a real gem!! no final, not tests, weekly journal and posts which are pretty amazing and cautivating
Impressed!! she is very nice and kind to you!! she respects you a lot and provides excellent feedback. Good online class overall.
Theres a reason shes on of the highest rated professors at Butte College, because she deserves it! Not only is she there for you in an online perspective, but she even offered to meet with me in person to help me out with the career I want to go into. Im a psych major and I would highly recommend her because youll get so much out of her class!
Heather is awesome. She teaches a great class without a textbook - just online articles that she posts. She goes with the flow of how the class feels instead of sticking to a strict schedule. Shes very caring and passionate about psychology, which makes her class super enjoyable. I recommend her to everyone. I learned quite a bit.
Enthusiastic and interested in the students and the class
Heather literally changed my life. She made me think and realise alot. I would take any class with her. Shes also funny! I almost fell on the floor laughing in her class and other times had tears because her classes were like life lessons. The BEST!!
Literally the best human you'll meet. Shes super nice and understanding and makes it a real priority to make everyone feel comfortable, which helps you learn a lot when there is less stress about raising your hand. Lot of participation and small quick group work. She's hilarious but also very well versed and passionate about what she teaches.
Heather one of the kindest people I've ever met, and I learned so much from her class! The lectures were fun, engaging, and informative, while the homework load was limited. 10/10 would take again!
i thought the exams were pretty tough but its college. The student games were my favorite. Shes probably the best teacher Ive had at butte. She does make you think. Shes real but very very funny at times.
Read, follow grading criteria, do work, quizzes are timed and long, print out the reading and look back over them quickly to do well on quizzes. She's pleasant.
I really wish I could have taken Heather's class in-person -- she's such a positive and vibrant personality that she really brings this subject matter to life. For online, it was a lot of reading, journals, and group posts. The final was a paper. Easy A if you put in the work. She is very generous in her grading.
Fun, easy, and educational class. The only homework is a group project where you present a game related to your chosen topic, and at the end of the semester a paper where you interview someone and discuss where they are in their lifespan development. There are 3 tests, which can be taken with a partner. And there isn't a final.
Amazing! Most online classes are boring or not organized but this class was the best Ive had ever. Heather is hilarious, caring, smart, knows her stuff but makes you work for your grade. Dont worry youll be fine if you do the assignments. Make sure to quote the book in the journals or youll miss points. Final paper was actually fun!
Great!
Professor Valle is a wonderful teacher. She really cares about her students and she is very helpful. Her assignments are fulfilling, simple, and actually really fun. I highly recommend this professor.
She gave clear instructions and expected you to do the work. She was understanding, just talk to her. I took her shortened summer class, so it was two weeks worth of work into one week. Doable, but still needed to stay on top and manage time well. Would take again.
She cares! Humble, insightful, respected, and overall an amazing human being who truly wants to be there for her students and help them reach their goals. I wish I would have taken more classes with her because she truly is the most compassionate Professor I have ever met. She truly is a remarkable soul, you will not regret taking her in any class.
Heather really changed the way I view my past. She helped me heal and see where I grew. One thing is she will not take late work but gives you a whole week to turn stuff in. More than fair. Loved this professor so much!
Best online class Ive taken! Amazing teacher. She made me see that I can be much more than I thought before. Thank you Heather. You are a hideen treasure!!!!
GREAT class! Everything is organized so no searching and clicking all over trying to find things. You can tell she knows what shes doing. Group posts, weekly essay and quiz then a final paper at the end that Im saving forever because its like a life review. Loved the whole class. Take her for anything she teaches!
Heather is an amazing professor! I took her fast track PSY15 course and it was very easy! Just stay on top of your work and it's an easy A :) Final is an essay and the homework isn't too difficult. She replies quickly to emails and gives clear answers to your questions. Definitely would take her again!
Her syllabus makes her seem strict but her class is pretty enjoyable even in an online environment. Textbook was free and provided, same type of assignments due every week on the same days which was really nice. Don't know how much leeway is given for things like illness or emergencies, but there was some extra credit available if your grade slips.
Valle is super passionate about psychology! She really shows how much she cares and does not assign too much homework. She just has a journal, discussion, and quiz due each week. Not super hard at all. A good communicator. She does not usually accept late work so turn your homework in on time and you're fine! Allows two attempts at quizzes.
She cared about her students but assigned lots of reading. There were minimal assignments, but since it was online it wasn't very engaging and was just tedious work. I can't say I'd recommend her or not, but it might be better now that it's in person.
This class changed everything for me. I learned sooooooo much about why I see life the way I do and where I was stuck. Attachment Theory was my favorite and she assigns homework that actually improves your life. Sorry if some people don't like to read but there are videos and photos and all kinds of good things in the class. Definitely recommend!!!
Heather was incredibly nice! I took the class asynchronously and it was really interesting. Just make sure that you do all the reading and almost all of the assignments are easy. She's really nice and will work with you to make sure that your grades are good. As long as you don't procrastinate, a very easy A and you learn a lot from the modules!
Ms. Valle had this way of making you believe in yourself. She had high expectations and it made a difference. She's brave too always pushing us to think deeper about everything-life, our futures, everything. Ms. Valle changed me. Made me see what I'm capable of. I respect her so much for not letting me off easy. Best teacher ever, hands down.
I loved this class! I feel like I learned great things and Heather was adorable and a great teacher.
Professor Valle is passionate and caring. Her class has reasonable workload, and provides opportunities to improve through extra credit. Unstuck ai was a great supplement for study prep. Definitely recommend this class!
Literally the best teacher I have ever had! I did not talk a lot in the class but her presence and effort to care for her students was very comforting and amazing. Her lectures were easy to follow and the homework was never difficult. She is very engaging, funny, and supportive. I 100000% recommend.
