Dr. Julie Hernandez has a way of teaching psychology that is enough to make the entire class switch to a psychology major! Psychology comes alive during her lectures!

Very easy class if you show up and pay attention. The material isn't hard. Only five homework assignments and she drops the lowest score of the five. She does do quizzes after each chapter but they're super easy. Very funny and would definitely recommend!

Lectures are very in-depth on few topics and somewhat boring, but worth sitting through. The only necessary studying is really on the focus topics. Lots of extra credit opportunities and very easy assignments. It's would be hard to fail. Kinda funny and very easy-going.

Her lectures are slow but all her powerpoints are online. I found the class to be easy and there are plenty of chances to get points. There are only 3 exams and that's counting the final and she gives a quiz for just about every chapter. There's a paper and group project which are easy points. If you're looking for an easier class this is it

Her lectures go over a lot of the same material covered if you had any previous psych courses in high school. Will it does seem like review, her lectures are very thorough so tests are pretty much a breeze as long as you listen during class. She explains the material well and will clarify anything you ask. So if you do poorly, it's your own fault.

She is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. She clearly cares about her students and tries to help in any way she can. She is just a very slow teacher. It took more days than it should have to go over one of her powerpoints so that got frustrating. She just really wants to make sure people understand what she's teaching. It can just feel long.

She is a really great professor, the class wasn't hard and she makes Psychology really interesting! She loves answering questions and discussing psychology. She gives extra credit, but it isn't really necessary because the class isn't really hard. Her exams are from the textbook pages you tells you to read, power point and past quizzes. Take her!!!

She is a very thorough professor, but that means she talks a lot on topics that do not need that much discussion. It is really easy to zone out in her class because she talks so much. You can get an A in this class easily as long as you show up to lecture and do the required readings that she doesn't cover in class.

Mrs. Hernandez is an amazing teacher. The way she has her class set up makes it easy for students to pass. Just pay attention when she lectures. She tells you exactly what to read in the book so there is no extra reading, take notes while you read and you'll get an A. There is a little homework but it's easy. She's really nice and approachable.

Prof Hernandez is such a caring professor. She gives out her lectures through power points and if you don't understand a quiz or assignment she will show you how to do it. The class has clear grading criteria and she doesn't do any pop quizzes or anything of that sort. She gives an extra credit assignment to help your grade as well. Overall great!

She was passive aggressive and she not considerate. We had a cult paper due and she told us in a zoom lecture that if it was longer than 7 pages that we would lose points because we should say what we have to say in 7 pages. During the semester I had a family passing and she hoped I finished her class during his passing. Pick someone else!!!!!!!
