This class was just too much. It's an online class and the book is pretty hard. She requires you to post every week in the message board (who has time for that?) And then she complains about how we procrastinate. You also have to do an 8 page research paper. Too much work, not worth it.

the class was pretty easy, but being a psychology major i didn't enjoy it very much - she brought too much spirituality to the classroom - talking about how rocks have mystical powers that you can feel when you hold them - the book we used read like a high school book - very sterile - i would like to have learned more - if you're looking for an easy A, however, this is definetely a good pick

I took her Abnoral Psych online class. It's not very hard at all. She gives a ton of extra credit. You have to take a few short quizzes, post on the bulletin board & do a paper. The paper sounds confusing at first but if you e-mail her, she'll explain to you exactly what she wants. If you don't get an A in the class, its because you didn't want to.

Very clear in what she expects and what you need to do. Just put in a decent amount of effort and you will get an A. Offers a lot of extra credit. Really nice professor!

This is the easiest college class Ive ever taken. She gives you a TON of extra credit just for doing your work. No tests, midterms, or final, and all quizzes are open note. Only 5 discussion posts, 11 Clinical Choices, 16 open note chapter quizzes, 1 psychological disorders inventory, 1 creative investigate project, and 3 Kognito trainings.

Professor Mendoza offers a lot of extra credit! There are no exams or finals, but there are 16 quizzes for each of the 16 chapters, all of which are open notes but need the use of a lockdown browser! You'll also have to complete a project at the end! She also provides feedback on work/discussions I recommend taking her class!

I took Professor Mendoza's PSYC116 8 week course during the Fall 2021 semester and I thoroughly enjoyed it! She was very clear on what she expected from us. The topics were very interesting and relatable. Weekly quizzes and discussions, with a project at the end of the semester. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Great course and learned a lot!

Professor Mendoza is the type of professor everyone needs. She only wishes the best for us. The time and energy she puts into her students is beyond comparable to any other professor. She made a difference in my life. She truly cares for us and our future. I am inspired by her and you should be too!

I have never felt the urge to leave a review on any professors up until now. Professor Mendoza is by far the best professor. Her class isn't too difficult, but it's not too easy where you don't learn anything. I've learned so much from her and cherish all of her feedback. She truly is as thoughtful/caring as past students have claimed. Take her.

Hands down THE best prof at GWC! She was so helpful throughout the semester and truly wants all of her students to succeed. There were a few essays throughout the semester, weekly quizzes (proctored), a final project, and some extra credit opportunities. I never felt overwhelmed or that I would fail the class and always got great feedback.

Professor Mendoza is so sweet and kind. She offers multiple extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Her feedback on assignments are very clear and thorough so you will know what you need to work on or what you missed. Professor Mendoza gives students enough time to complete assignments. She usually gives students a week unless changed.

Her class is okay and she's a sweet person. WARNING she uses an online textbook which is $150 and then you have to go to the book website to do your assignments instead of Canvas. I didn't appreciate that expense, but If you just follow the basic instructions on assignments she hands out "extra credit" for just doing the minimum so it's an easy A.

One of the best professors I have ever had and genuinely gives good feedback! Only thing negative is that you HAVE to pay about $100 for the online textbook and then you do all your assignments on another site instead of Canvas, but the class overall is super easy, she gives a lot of time to do assignments and communicates any changes right away

Very straight forward class. Just do the work and you'll pass. She's really nice and replies to emails relatively quickly. The digital workbook is pretty fun to do!

This class I have taken twice because the first time I barely participated and got a D but this professor is so kind and accepts late work for 2 weeks after the due date with no penalty, very understanding and easy assignments. The homework gives you the answers and there is only 1 essay at the end and a few discussion posts.

I absolutely love Professor Jan Mendoza. She is one of the sweetest, kindest, most supportive, understanding, and caring professors I've taken/met. She gives amazing, detailed feedback and is very communicative with her students. So much grace is given and so much extra credit opportunities too. I can't emphasize how much I adore this professor.
