mr pedroza is anal about bein in your seat when he takes roll but other than that is a great professor. his lectures are very clear and interesting. he dished out a lot of work but as long as you stay on top of it you'll be fine. lots of extra credit.
He is one of the best instructors I ever had. Makes the class very interesting, funny and extraordinarily amazing. Gives lots of extra credit and is a great Spiderman fan. Exciting class. Made me fall in love with psychology.
he's great and funny. Even though I didnt get an A in his class (my own fault; too lazy), I still like the class and his lectures.
I Love Mr. Pedroza's class. He is very passionate and excited to teach. He makes the class very interesting. The only thing that might hurt your grade is your research paper. He is very tough on grading it. In psych 100 i got an f on the paper and still passed the class with a B. He's Great.
Wonderful professor, piles on the work, but also doles out extra credit. HAVE SOMEONE GOOD PROOF-READ YOUR RESEARCH PAPER!!! Mine was "excellent" he said and gave me a D on it. Turn in all your work, ALL the extra credit, and cram on tests. Through it all I got an A in class, I'd take him again.
very good professor.
excellent teacher, he lets you know exactly what you need to study and amazingly enough I still remember it all. Research paper MUST be proof read and brush up on APA style.
great teacher, makes class very interesting & fun.
Good teacher, good class, very interesting.I did good except for the paper.He said it was really good paper, full of good comments, but I got a D.As long as you follow the sheet, paper content doesnt need to be that good..also very important he takes pts off everytime your late or absent, they count a lot on your grade.
He is the bset teacher I've ever had! He makes the subject so interesting!! I've taken his course several times, but never get bored!
at first i loved this class and mr. pedroza's way of teaching until i got my grades. he litterly gave almost everyone f's on their final paper , i got a D on mine but yet he wrote on my paper that it was very good and very well written and yet i got a D, im sorry but that just does not make any sense.points are taken off for all tardies.
very fun teacher. will help you, gives u all answers, it's up to u to study. Very funny teacher. I recommend to everyone!!! better said, anyone who wants to learn laughing.
He's really cool... funny, very interesting... only class i've ever loved in my whole entire life..

Great teacher! Extremely interesting, knows his stuff, as long as you are in class on time and take the proper notes in class you will pass, the research paper's he gives aren't hard at all.
He is really passionate about psychology...and he gets me to be interested in what he says during his lectures....Fun class :)

hi mr. perdroza! you are the most coolest psychology professor out there...u noe who u look like? DREW CARREY!!!! ahah u sound like him too! dont worry, it's a good thing. so dont take it offensive...but yeah, mr. pedroza got me interested in psychology more and more everytime i listen to his lectures. i really like his demonstrations, and his in-class activities. it's very informative and entertaining. it got me to think more and to realize my materials more. =) thanks mr. pedroza! cindy
I have switched majors because of him! I am now planning on majoring in psychology...Mr. Pedroza You are an awesome teacher!!...Your class is one of the funnest I have had at SAC!!
he's cool and funny. uhm really into psychology... homework is easy and gives lots of extra credit. class is fun and easy to pass. =]
Would not recomend this teacher. While well learned, he is not a good teacher. Material is uninteresting and presented badly. Changed my major OUT of psychology after this teacher.
The only part of the class that sucks is that he takes attendance every class and takes away points for each class you miss. Otherwise the class is easy. Before each test he gives you a list of things to study (the answers) and as long as you study that you'll be alright.
This class is very easy. I would highly recommend taking Pedroza. He has interesting stories and you learn alot from this class. He practically gives you the answers to the test, all you have to do is spend some time reviewing the material. Overall a great class.
One of the easiest classes I've taken..if you want an A, take this class! He's very strict on the research paper..but it helps at the same time. Has a load of funny/interesting stories to tell. Overall great teacher!
Excellent teacher.
Great instructor! I Highly Recommend. Class was fun and informative. Made me think about my own crazy family and relationships - and, um... Spiderman. Jeez. Pedroza was more than very helpful and he was always willing to be courteous and open minded with me. Got an "A" in his class last semester and I wish him nothing but the best.
great instructor i never thought that apyshology class would be fun .i highly recommend him
Excellent teacher, who is funny during lectures, and always willing to help after class. Expects effort to be put into the research paper, but is willing to read the draft paper and help out in fixing. A+ teacher!
One of the best teacher I've had. Do a 2 pages notes for weekly homework. Gives out the Terms and Vocabs which will be on the test, the tests are a joke, i got A's on all of them. Gives TONS of extra credit, easy to do. Lectures are interesting and funny. NO SWEAT! take him!!!
No Comments
Super nice man with an adorable sense of humor! Do the chapter notes and you'll be totally prepared for the tests. He gives a lot of EASY extra credit opportunities so take advantage of them if you plan on being absent, because he deducts points! There's a 10 page research paper you have to do, but other than that... good, easy, fun-enough class!
great class. i enjoyed it greatly.
Good teacher
excellent teacher
He's just awesome. The only way you'd know that is if you took his class. He's also very prompt and the minus points he gives for tardy and minor grammatical errors are what makes his class a little challenging. But he makes everyone in class laugh--this keeps sleepy-heads from falling asleep all the time. :P He's one of the best teachers I've had!
Prof. Pedroza is one of the best professors out there! His knowledge in psychology is high; Very helpful; Keeps you awake in class. The exams are pretty self-explanatory. He's not that picky on the research paper as most stated. I actually got an A+ after 2 drafts&it's not even due until mid-November. Do all of the extra credits like I did!
Easist class ever. You will not regret it. Although he grades the research paper extremely difficult, but you'll do fine. Good luck and don't give up on those 4 flights up to his class/ofc.
Awesome prof., take any e.c. and turn in as many drafts of your research paper, hes tough on that.. overall awesome class!!!!
He's so funny, i know those who have taken him can say that. He really wants up to learn the fundamentals of Psych. He's very interesting I do not mind going to his classes. The hardest thing we had to do in this class was our research paper.
Wonderful teacher! a little hard but really funny!!
Prof. Pedroza is a very cool teacher, makes the class fun. Do the research paper, seems intimidating at first but just work on it, I got an A- on mine. And got a B in the class because i missed a couple of days. Go to class, take the notes. Tests are easy, he gives you good study guides.
He is a great teacher.Please take the class to learn and to have fun!!!!!
Pedroza is a wonderful teacher! He sincerely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He genuinely loves psychology, so class always remains interesting, and his quirky humor makes it even better. Take notes and show up to class and the tests will be a piece of cake. Take Pedroza, he'll be one of the best teachers in your college career.
BEST TEACHER EVER!! easy and interesting class. TAKE IT!! =)
i love him
i lOOOve, lOOOOve, LOOOOVE Mr. PEDROZA!!!..this is a GREAT teacher...you will learn alot! take notes, read your book and study the reviews you will be just fine!it seems hard the first day because he feeds all this information that is required but trust me it is no different then what a college course should be! he is soo funny & cool!
GREAT teacher one of the best.He had great ways for us to learn more about psychology.. Awesome. Very Down to earth. and great sense of humor.
Great professor, very entertaining. Makes class fun. Show up and take notes and you'll be fine.
i loooove loooove looooove mr pedroza. His class was sooo easy to me. he is funny and offers extra credit. you'll enjoy him soo much!!!!!!!!!!!easy easy easy!!
Extremely interesting and really nice
Prof Pedroza is awesome!! Totally recommend him! You do need you book for the vocab notes, and go to every class or you lose 10 points also be on time. no homework other than vocab notes. 4 exams gives a great study guide overview..two papers, very easy. Just do all work and show up to class easy A. He's very funny too!!!!!!!!
Easy teacher. You have to attend his class, if not, you will lose 10 points/ time. I thought I would get B, but I had A, Thanks
AWESOME! You will not regret taking any of his classes. Super funny and you will also learn a lot.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL INSTRUCTOR!!! he is so amazingly funny and he has a way of teaching that will help u remember everything for exams. Tests are fairly easy if u attend class every day and do the hw(which is just taking notes for each chapter). Overall, he is great and so was the class. I learned a lot! =)
Very nice Professor. Three tests, 1 research paper and final with a lot of extra credit, so you're fine. Highly recommend
BEST Abnormal Psych teacher, I loved his class and I think I will always remember his sense of humor, black framed glasses and love for Spiderman.
Professor Pedroza is by far the best professor I have had at SAC! He is so clear lets you know what you need to study for the tests! 4 Test, notes for every chapter, 1 research paper (topic of ur choice), lots of extra credit! His class is fun you'll want to go! plus if you miss its -10points per miss! He is honestly the BEST prof at SAC! TAKE HIM!
AMAZING prof. you will not regret taking his class. and i cant wait to take his abnormal psyc class this upcoming semester.
Great teacher. You get what you give in this class.
Very interesting class! There won't be a day where you want to sleep. Don't be late or miss a day, you can miss up to 10 pts for everyday missed! I recommend you take this class, it makes you want to be a Psychology major!
his a great teacher had a lot of fun while learning. spidey is the best, theres non other he makes it fun and the book is very helpful u get ur moneys worth.
Professor Pedroza is by far the best professor I have had at SAC!!!!! lovr him i got an A :)spidey is the best...ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL INSTRUCTOR!!! he is so amazingly funny and he has a way of teaching that will help u remember everything for exams...Gives TONS of extra credit, easy to do.i loved psychology and im a nursing major!!!
Recommend this professor! He is funny, and his class is interesting. Tell many GREAT stories, and show you things that blow your mind! Do all your notes, and take advantage of extra credits!
Awesome!!
Awesome teacher, you will pass the class aslong as you do your notes, relates, and get C's in your exams. Take advantage of the extra credit, and try not to be late or leave early bc that is points taken away.
It'd be weird if you don't get an A in this class because it is sooo easy to get one. All you do is take notes, do a 2-paged paper, and he tells you every single thing that's going to be on the exam. I usually just come to class to get my notes stamped. He also gives out extra credit. Pedroza is a teacher who is passionate in what he teaches.
I LOVEEEEEE MR PEDROZA!! HES THEEEE BESTTTT THANKS TO HIM MY MAJOR IS PSY. U WILL LOVE HIS CLASS..HES SOO FUNNY AND IF U CANT GET AN "A" IN HIS CLASS UR A DU** A** TAKE HIS CLASSS. TAKE IT TAKE IT <3 Diana P.
Awesome Prof! He's fun to listen to, class is never boring even @9am LOL. You need txt a lot for weekly notes and relate papers. Gives you a lot of EC. There's no way unless you don't show up, to fail this class. And he's a nice guy, willing to work with you if you're honest with him.
Great attitude,great professor,and one funny guy. has an obsession with spider-man. his tests are not hard if you study the vocab. listen to his psych stories 90% of the stories he tells are on the test.
Great teacher! hE IS VERY FUNNY, AND IS NOT BORING, I WOULD RECOMMEND TAKING HIM, EASY EXTRA CREDIT EARNED, TAKE IT TESTS ARE BASED ON BOOK AND HIS STORIES.
One of the best prof. I've had! He is funny and knows how to make the class interesting. He also tells you exactly what will be on the test! Overall, it's a pretty easy class.
Prof. Pedroza is an amazing teacher. I took psych 100 with him as a repeat because I failed the first time(w/Castillo worst prof ever)but with Pedroza i got an A+! I'm taking abnormal psych right now and I have 107% in the class. Ch notes, relate papers, and tests are all you need to do for an A+. Definitely one of my favorite professors from SAC.
This is by FAR the best Psych teacher ever!! He is very fair. He has weekly chapter notes, and reviews for every exam very specifically there is a few relate papers which he grades toughly but if you turn in a draft he helps.IF YOU CAN'T PASS WITH AN A YOU R JUST DUMB AND LAZY!! he makes the subject/lecture fun.
Wow! One of the best teachers at SAC! "I love this subject so much that I would even teach it for free in the parking lot of MacDonald's."-Pedroza. With a professor like that how can you not pass! (Oh, yeah you are lazy.) Awsome class, just do your work and study! He is so funny and there is never a dull moment during lecture.
very inspiring! Great stories!
Mr. Pedroza was an awesome teacher. All you have to do is take notes from the book, do the relate papers and he gives you a study guide for the exams. Its pretty easy as long as you study and do the extra credit. Hes also really funny and makes you want to go to class for him. Take him if you want a good teacher and a easy grade if you study.
All you have to do is turn in your weekly class notes, biweekly relate paper (two pages long), and study hard for your exams, which he gives the answers to a few days in advance. There's a lot to memorize, so I would recommend flash cards. Don't miss or be late for class because he will deduct 10 pts. Funny & interesting. Highly recommended. EZ A!
Mr. Pedroza is such a good professor. I took psy 100 over the summer and he was so clear and took the time to asnwer ever single question. All you have to do it turn in notes, related paper, autobiography and do good on test. He gives study guides which helps a lot on test
Do the homework, follow his study guides, Easy A, good lectures.
What an inspirational person.
Mr Pedroza is a great teacher he is very helpful and understanding to his students needs. Take his class he's awesome.
He is super nice and super helpful. Just do 2-page chapter notes, and study for 4 exams. He has exam reviews which tell you everything you need to study for and will answer any questions at that time and he also gives extra credit. Great teaching style. Take his class!!
Loved this class. And its so easy. You actually want to go to class to hear his stories which are on the tests. Love his style of teaching He gives you exactly whats going to be on the test. He is such a wonderful person and helps so much. He's so hilarious that i couldnt stop laughing sometimes!!! Thanks Spidey!!!
i took 101 and abnormal psych with pedroza the best teacher i have ever had you can see how much he loves teaching you MUST take notes! he gives you a cheat sheet the day before the test that had everything that will be on the test i wish i could take him again i even took a Friday class 2 hours classes are still fun i learned tons!
HAHAHAAHA!!! <-- That will be you when you take his class. He is extremely funny, passionate in his field of psychology, and overall a great teacher. The only work is finish some chapter notes, do the relate paper, and study for the exam (which he literally give the answer to). He did what I thought can't be done...make time fly in a lecture.
Mr. Pedroza is theeeeeeeee BEST! very funny makes class really easy! you will love him!
He is hilarious! You will enjoy his lectures. It's amazing to have such a high quality instructor at SAC. You wont be disappointed.
No doubt I recommend taking this class! It is very interesting and informative. I really enjoyed it. The work is very managable. Professor Pedroza is quiet funny, which makes you enjoy the class even more. Don't think about taking the class, just take it!!
amazing professor, lectures are extremely interesting.
He is an amazing teacher, who makes sure you get into the lecture. You will never be bored in his class. Trust me, you will not regret taking him. Class is super easy if you pay attention and do your notes.
he is the best psychology teacher!!!! his stories are super interesting! i like psychology and mental disorders, you should definitely take him. you really use the book as well
Honestly, Pedroza is AWESOME. I looked forward to coming to class every FRIDAY MORNING (that's right--weekend morning class). There was never a dull moment when he was teaching. Make sure to really read into the terms he tells you to look over before his tests and take lots of notes on his case studies! GOOD LUCK, you will truly enjoy Psych w/ him!
Spidey is the absolute best. Both his intro and abnormal psych classes were super easy and interesting. You have to take weekly notes and attend class for his case studies, which are interesting! You will never be bored in Spideys class since he has a great sense of humor! I highly recommend his psychology classes!
Great prof ever. I was learning english and I still got an A.Lots of extra credit will be provided. Trick: Do not miss any class. There will be 4 exams. No final. 1 week/ 2 meetings (first meeting for stamp, second meeting for exam review)/ 1 chapter. I love him.
Best teacher in any school for any subject. Made me interested in psychology and gave me confidence I needed to keep on with school. There is absolutely no better professor anywhere. Don't kid yourself and TAKE HIS CLASS.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEACHERS OF ALL TIME! His lectures are hilarious and his exams are pretty easy. You just have to do 2 pages of notes for each chapters and a couple of papers. I enjoyed coming to his class because paying attention was easy. Don't be late and silence your cellphone. M. Pedroza is the best! Take him and you'll see for yourself! :)
I never do reviews but I have to give Professor Pedroza this one. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is very organized and interested in what you have to say. His lectures are clear, to the point, and delivered with a real life stories to help you consolidate the psychology material. Notes, Extra credit, prepares you for exam
Professor Pedroza is awesome. Believe me, if you read the textbook and follow his outline and study guides, you will surely pass the class. And he does give lots of extra credit. He is hilarious, kind and my favorite professor up until now.
Professor Pedroza (Spidey) is undoubtedly awesome! He will make you laugh all day long even when you are facing the worst! True psychologist! I almost cried when I left the room of the last class. I wish I had a reason to take his class again, but I know I could not cuz my major is not Psychology. Lots of extra credits, warm, must-take class guys!
ONE OF MY BEST TEACHER!!! Dr Pedroza is super hilarious. He uses a lot of example and case study to teach, but students must read textbook by themselves. There is only 4 tests in a semester. Students need to turn in chapter note at the beginning of week; otherwise, you won't get the credit for homework. He gives a lot of extra credits to pass class
He's a great professor! I would take him again any day. Super easy and fun class.
Prof. Pedroza is, by far, my favorite teacher. He lectures in a fun & engaging way, thus making the material much easier to learn. It's really easy go pass the class. Do the notes & study for the (4) exams & make sure to do the extra credit, it makes a big difference on your grade. I highly recommend his class! Super funny professor.
good professor made my 8am class interesting and fun. his case studies are so entertaining. he offers a few extra credit. 4 exams no final and one paper. if u can u should take him!!
Professor Pedroza is amazing, his class is very easy. All you have to do is write a lot for the homework. His assignments are fair. Not to mention he's really funny ! One of my favorite professors here.
I was looking forward to taking abnormal psych because its part of my major, and professor Pedroza was just amazing! He truly cares for how you do in his class, and he's funny. He gives enough extra credit, which is good.
Good professor. He really understands psychology and teaches it well. The book is somewhat necessary for chapter notes. He has a lot of lectures but they are funny and make sure you take notes. He loses a few points with me because he tends to deduct points for any little thing. Ex, if you misspell something or you forget something. Ugh!
Pedroza is an okay professor. He knows how to engage the students to what he is attempting to teach. He's pretty energetic. His exams are passable as long as you study his "study guides" and read the textbook. Something he does that bothers me is that he makes crude jokes all the time. Its really annoying.
Really good professor. I took him in intersession so it was a really fast paced class. You do need the book there's no escape out of that or you basically fail his class with no book. Tough grader if you forget the date on notes or forget to pick them up. Easy A though if you study.
Professor Pedroza is very nice and supportive. He is an excellent therapist. The cases he teaches in class are very good examples of the disorders and are very interesting. He offers a lot of extra credits. He gives you study guidelines for each chapters. It is easy to get an A.
A wonderful class. No midterm and no final. Majority of your grade is on the exams. He goes over what is going to be on the exams the class before exam day. Very easy all you gotta do is study.
I loved him he was so chill and very helpful. i would totally take him again.
Hilarious professor but also really knows the subject material. Attendance is key; study guides provided at end of class and case studies throughout the lecture are crucial for exams. Do the extra credit! Easy 40 points. Would recommend him, just study the study guides and case studies real well and you'll do great. He assigns hw but also easy.
Loved Him he truly loves to teach and loves Psychology. He does lecture a lot and he does expect you to write notes on the chapters. If you pay attention to his lectures and take notes on them you will pass. He has case studies which he speaks of and they are on the test so pay attention those. Overall he is awesome. Take him.
He's a really great professor. He gives really great study guides. Easy A if you actually study. Easy homework. Makes his lectures interesting, the class doesn't get boring he is always saying jokes.
Amazing professor, he makes you use your book. He requires 2 pages per chapter of notes for credit. Make sure you write down the case studies b/c he has essay qs on them. Gives you two chances to get EC. There are 4 Exams and a relate paper, takes off a lot of points if you dont have 1 inch margins per page. Overall he is the best psyc professor.
Despite homework, which is just note taking from the textbook. The exams are fun to take. He is a caring and inspirational teacher. If you have life problems or any kind of problems he tries to work with you and be accommodating for the class etc. Really good professor. Would definitively take again.
Pedroza's lectures are always entertaining. No matter the subject he will captivate your attention with his case studies from his experience working in the clinical field. If you want to do good on all exams, I strongly encourage reading the book, but pay attention more to the vocabulary he gives you when reviewing the chapter. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!
The case studies are the best part of his lectures
Pedroza is an amazing Professor. He gives you all the questions in advance before exams so you have plenty of time to study. He makes lectures interesting and fun! He always made the class laugh with his jokes. One relate paper (he grades tough but very do able), an autobiography (easy points), and plenty of extra credit! DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!
He's a great lecturer, and a kind professor that actually cares and wants you to pass. He does require weekly homework. And he tests off of his lectures so ATTEND CLASS! Also he gives you test answers to study so take notes/pictures. Take the extra credit options. Do all this and you'll get an A or B. He loves participation. Pay attention! :)
Pedroza is a great professor, always making the class 100%entertaining, he always tells you way ahead of time for Test and gives you a Study Guide to review weeks b4 the test. Extra credit help me keep a high grade. He really is a good professor. Take him he is a really cool Professor. Keep up the good job Pedroza.
He is the best I loved his class so much. His lectures are hilarious that you will never fall asleep in his class.
Professor Pedroza is a wonderful teacher. His lectures are fun and entertaining.
Amazing professor
Professor Pedroza is absolutely amazing, he's funny and really does care for his students. Heavy textbook use, notes on every single chapter. Take all extra credit oppurtunities, do the notes, come to class for the case studies that are on the exams, study, and you'll get a good grade.
I absolutely LOVE this class. Professor Pedroza is so funny time flies and you actually get to learn so, so much while enjoying the lecture. He is literally one of the best professor at SAC in my honest opinion. I recommend taking his class. You wont regret it !
Straight to the point no way you can fail this class unless youre lazy easy A get your homework done , study for exam, and you will do good take advantage of extra credit & gives amazing lectures definitely would take again and take good notes to study when doing homework!
THE SWEETEST AND MOST RESPECTFUL PROFESSOR ON THIS CAMPUS! He's a great teacher and always gives funny feedback. You can ask him a thousand questions & he'll answer to each one of them with a smile on his face. Professor Pedroza wants nothing more, but to see his students pass. He is a very knowledgable man and definitely knows his stuff.
Very easy class. Great Professor hes funny kind he is passionate when he teaches you can tell he loves to teach and you learn so much in a fun interesting way. Awesome teacher.
Professor Pedroza is absolutely amazing. He truly does care for his students. Do all the chapter notes and reading, take all the EC opportunities, pay attention during lectures and you'll do great!!
Amazing professor, engaging lectures and activities sprinkled throughout. Very friendly and approachable. Painfully clear about what is on exams so its essentially your fault if you fail the class considering also the many points of extra credit he offers. Just do the notes required and study the study guides he gives you and youll pass easily.
Would take his class again
AMAZING Professor!! He cares a lot about his students and he is passionate about what he teaches. His lectures were always fun and interesting. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the tests. Only 2 writing assignments and weekly notes as homework. Easy A!! Take his class you won't regret it!! Thank me later! Also offers tons extra credit.
Amazing Professor. He deducts points for tardies and absences so attendance is a must! Most of the work is laid out pretty easily but the tests are a little difficult. He doesnt necessarily ask for the definitions of terms but rather he provides an example and tells you what it falls under. He is very passionate about teaching and offers lots of EC
I took him in summer school. So yes attendance was mandatory to pass but even if it wasnt I wouldnt have missed a class because he is such an AMAZING professor. He cares about his students he doesnt like his students to fail so he helps them catch up.
Such a great professor. Super chill and is very clear on what he expects. Tells you what is going to be on the test. Easy class if you study and do all the extra credit.
Professor Pedroza is a great instructor. When I first arrived to his class I was a little afraid of how he would react towards late work. He didnt mind if I turn in my essay late as long as I gave it everything I have towards my writing. The only reason I got a C was because I didnt study nor did I ask for help.
His lectures are full of information that will be on the tests. Study the notes and get a passing grade. Amazing professor he cares about his students.
This professor was recommended to me. I see he has good reviews on rate my professors, but personally I did not enjoy this class at all. He gets off topic too much. My relationship with this professor was not good at all. He doesn't really explain instructions too well due to him getting off topic too much, putting people on the spot.
My favorite professor encourages his class to perform well academically, but he's concerned with more than just grades. He cares about each of his students as people. In addition to his passion, he was an inspirational professor. He is one-of-a-kind, and I am going to miss his class.
You are missing out if you are not taking his class. He is so caring and funny. You can tell he wants the best for his students and he is more than happy to help out students. His tests are easy and his lectures are so interesting! Please take him, you won't regret it!! Best professor ever!!!!
Taking Professor Pedroza class was the best thing I have done so far in my life. His class is very enjoyable since he is humorous and caring. His lectures are interesting and you may never get a dull moment in his class. Exams are easy since all you have to do is watching his video lectures and answer the given questions. Recommended!
Overall Professor Pedroza was an awesome teacher! His homework assignments were just notes so it wasn't anything too difficult. His lectures were well explained and helps a lot for the big exams! His humor is what made class interesting and fun! Definitely recommend this Professor.
I had Professor Pedroza for remote instruction during COVID-19. All of our tests were basically open books and we had a couple of days to finish them. The homework was due every Wednesday which was basically summaries of the lectures Professor Pedroza presented. If you just turn in every assignment with minimal effort, it is an easy A or B.
He was by far the best professor ever! I took him for PSYC 100 in person and then I just took him for PSYC 250 in Fall which was online. He tried his absolute best to get familiar with canvas and make sure we were getting treated fair compared to how it used to be in person. He is so funny and definitely enjoys his job. He likes participation too.
His class is so amazing. The lectures are very funny and he is a great teacher. give you extra credit if you need . I like his class very much and if I have the opportunity take it this class again I will do it.
This was my first time back in school in over 20 years. To say I was nervous and did not know what to expect is an understatement. Professor Pedroza is an excellent teacher! He made learning interesting and enjoyable. His syllabus/expectations are clear. He gives a fair amount of opportunities for extra credit. Do the HW and EC and youll do well
I took Psychology 100 during Summer 2021. It is an easy A if you show up and pay attention to his lectures. Homework consisted 2-4 pages of notes, Exams were free response questions, and 1 relate paper. He was a very kind and funny professor.
He is a ball of energy that makes class so much fun & very interesting! He is very kind and is always encouraging students which I liked!! I would take this class 100 more times!!
Professor Pedroza is one of my favorite teacher Im so glad I took his class. Even though it was at 8:00am he wake me up with his interesting lectures and amazing attitude and great personality. BEST PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR!!!!
He's honestly so great, a very sociable and caring person. He is very understanding of the situations of students. There is one paper due, but it is pretty simple. The "homework" he had us do was take notes. The exams are 10 questions, but they are written responses, about half a page each. Nothing too bad if you pay attention in class & do work.
Professor Pedroza is a great choice! The homework consists of 2 pages of notes every chapter & there are 2 papers: a one-page autobiography & a 4 page relate paper. The exams are 40 questions multiple choice & 5 questions for case studies he speaks about in class so make sure to take detailed notes on them, you'll need to write half a page.
Professor Pedroza keeps a positive and genuine attitude toward students, is passionate about psychology, and gives memorable lectures. Homework consists of 2-page notes on weekly chapter readings and 1 essay on how course terms relate to your life. Plus, he lists expected topics for upcoming exams. Unless you are disruptive in class, you will pass.
He was literally one of my favorite professors I have taken. He is so hilarious during the lectures. The homework was so easy it is just 2 pages of notes each week & test were easy (40 Q + 3-4 written Q) he also tells stories (case studies) that will be in the test so pay attention. you will do 1 paper which is super easy & gives EC. Super great !
One of the best professors youll ever have. He wants his students to pass. I would take his class again if I ever have to take it again. All in all he is an amazing professor.
He is an amazing teacher I like how he cares for his students. He is so hilarious and make the class funnier.
take notes during his case study lectures! every detail helps ur exam essay. gives u the questions for exams, so studying for them doesnt feel overwhelming. textbook is online! one paper and one EC paper. (u could pass if u attend most classes, dont use ur phone, get C or more on exams, and do one paper) EC @ the end is drawing + defining terms
His class consisted of just note taking from the textbook for each chapter, four exams for every four chapters, an extra credit paper, a relate paper, and an autobiography. IMPORTANT: Take notes when he talks about his case studies!!! The exams will be easy if you study the questions he gives you.
Mr. Pedroza is great teacher! I love his enthusiasm. He cracks jokes and makes class so much fun! His gradings is very fair and his lectures are very clear and helps out. He prepares you for the exams by letting you know what to expect in the exams so it makes it less stressful! You only study on what he tells you what youll see on your exams!
Many ways to get extra credit. He will give feedback on your exam answers before they're even submitted. Lectures can be boring but he is pretty funny sometimes.
Professor Pedroza is an excellent instructor His lectures are entertaining and well thought out. Make sure you attend class and you'll definitely pass. One of my favorite classes and instructors on campus. If you need help he ill will answer all questions and make it clear.
AMAZING! If I could take this course over and over again I would. A couple papers, notes every week, he basically tells you what to study for when there is an exam. PAY ATTENTION in class. Easy A if you work hard for your grade! He truly cares about his students.
I honestly don't think I will ever have a professor like Pedroza he was so funny and nice. You can tell he honestly wants his students to do well. You're only graded on notes and exams, so you have to do all the notes and do pretty decent on the exams to get a good grade. Again, he is a really good professor and it's a very easy class
I REALLY ENJOYED HIS CLASS, I WOULD 1000% TAKE ANOTHER CLASS OF HIS. THERE IS READING AND NOTE TAKING BUT AS LONG AS YOU DO THAT, THE CLASS IS FAIRLY EASY AND MANAGABLE. HE'S FUNNY AND POSITIVE, KEEPS THE VIBES POSITIVE
Professor Spidey rocks!! This is a very easy class as long as you attend every lecture. 4 exams, 1 paper, and notes about the chapters are to be passed once a week. His stories related to chapters are very interesting and funny. I totally recommend :D
We read one chapter every week and talk about it in class. Every four chapters there would be an exam (No cumulative final). The textbook covers many different areas of psychology and we don't get to talk about everything in class. His lectures are good and the course is decent. Take this class and you'll learn something new. PS: Do the extra cred!
Professor Pedroza A.K.A Spidey is hands down the best professor I have had at SAC. His lectures were always amazing and entertaining. I had him at 6:50 AM and he never failed to keep the classroom entertained with his lectures/stories. His class consists of 4 exams, which are super easy because he tells you what to study. If only I could write more
I never got around to grading him, I took his class in 2022 and it was one of the best classes ever. He tells you exactly what will be on the test and he's very accommodating. I took PSYC 100 and 250 and I wish he taught more because all his lectures were so interesting and fun. He is one of the best professors on campus and one of the best ever!
He is a great professor and the learning environment fun & intriguing. Online book free for you to access & as long as you read through the textbook & write notes (he stamps them every class & counts all the stamps on exam day) you are passing your homework. He states clearly in his study guide what will be on the exam & he sticks to it.
This Professor is so awesome. Super kind and caring. He is extremely helpful if you reach out to him. The assignments are to write notes on the chapters we need to read on our own. Also he uses a free online textbook!
Professor Pedroza makes the class engaging and fun. His clear study guides and structured grading system ensure success. I found Unstuck study helpful for exam prep, along with the textbook and class notes.
Amazing quality , you can tell he loves teaching
he was a great professor; he made everything fun and had fun/amusing stories. you do need to be in class in order to pass the exams.
One of the funniest and sweetest professors on campus! You can tell he deeply cares about his students and their success.
Best professor in campus.
he was such a good professor, and his dad jokes were funny!! he shows you what's going to be on the tests and if you listen and take notes you will be fine!
best teacher hands down, listen and do your notes and you'll be fine. he will highlight what will be on the best and tells you
This professor inspired me to continue my education. His lectures were very interesting and he always made it on a topic that would interest the students. As long as you read the book and pay attention to his PowerPoint presentations, you should pass the class with no problem. He is able to relate with his students so well.
Absolutely the best PSYC100 professor ever, he's the only teacher who knows how to get people engaged in the lectures. He is so considerate with grading and knows how to communicate with you! Homework is just your notes and tests are just mainly studying on your own time and he explains what's going to be on the tests.
It is the type of class you can be excited about. I had his 6:55AM class and still it was worth it. He makes lectures fun and interesting with lots of interesting stories.
You can tell right away he has a passion for his teaching. Absolutely the best professor I have ever had. Despite having his 6:55 AM class, I was excited every day to hear what jokes and stories he had for us.
One of my favorite professors by far! Absolutely enjoys teaching to his class and is very inclusive of everyone! He makes you feel very welcomed and safe in his class. I definitely would take his course again!
I took his class for the summer semester and worried I'd drop because of it being Monday through Thursday and I had gotten used to going to class twice a week but his lectures were so fun and easy to follow I ended up going to every class excited for each lecture! He follows his grading guidelines pretty strictly so make sure you follow them.
Great Professor had him during COVID.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. He is very fair and clear when it comes to assignments and what he expects. He's is so funny and keeps us laughing the whole time. He makes you look forward to learning and being in class the hour and 30 minutes goes by so fast. You can tell he loves teaching and cares for his students so deeply. Take him trust me.
Professor Pedroza is amazing! I took his class in the Winter Intercession 2023, and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. I'm just writing this review because one of his inspirational quotes came to mind and helped me out through this semester in college. He's not just a good teacher but a great person as well!
He's so funny, he has tons of hilarious stories and experiences of his time working and studying psychology that he implements into his lectures and lessons, that make learning and remembering the content soo much easier and enjoyable. Only thing is that there's weekly notetaking taking which isn't too bad
I love him. He's such a great proffesor and person and he gives out extra credit which is definitely a plus. You won't regret taking him trust!
