Very good teacher. Knows what she's talking about and likes to teach. Explains material very well. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher, she rocks.
Great Professor
Sometimes tough to understand. Very nice woman though
Great professor. She uses powerpoint for lectures so you can tke notes clearly. Very friendly and helpful. Easy projects and exams. Take Her!
We should actually be calling her Dr. Julie Hernandez. She was a great professor, easy to understand and quite fun at times too. You get to do neat thing like create your own comercial and a program promoting or deterring a behavior. Wonderful teacher!!!
Julie is awsome. Very clear and easy to understand class! Test are easy!
her methods are a bit out of wack. she reminds me of a highschool teacher in this way. she is also hard to understand, but if you pay attention and acctually work you'll be alright
Julie is awesome!!! She is one of the best professor's I have had at RVC. She is very patient, understanding and willing to work with everyone. She also makes sure everyone fully understands before she gives the test. Awesome!!
She is great! I love coming to her class (but you don't have to because there is no limit on missed days) :) Her tests are easy (only 4 of them) and she is really helpful-she'll answer any question.
I think she is a very intelligent woman. Dr. Hernandez makes sure to check if everyone understands what she is teaching. She didn't assign too much homework and I felt she prepared the class well for exams.
Very hard to understand, demanded we call her Dr. Hernandez. Class should of had a higher emphasis on social, study guides were pointless, was disappointed overall.
She is a very good teacher. I would take her again. Sometimes it is hard to understand because she has a hearing impairment, but overall a great teacher.
Dr. Hernandez is a wonderful professor. She teaches everything very clearly. Her presentations are powerpoint, which makes notetaking a breeze. If you do not understand something, she will explain it to you. Her quizzes come straight from her presentations, so if you show up, it's easy.
Julie is a good teacher. I really enjoyed her class and her teaching. I hope her hearing gets better.
Dr. Hernandez is very good at what she does. I would take another class with her.
Great professor.
"w o n d e r f u l"
I would advise anyone thinking of taking Julie Hernandez for PSY to look elsewhere. She was by far the worst teacher I have had so far at RVC. She either likes you or she doesn’t and if she doesn’t like you your grade will reflect it. BeWaRe!!!
good.good.good.
She is a very good teacher...her Quizs help prepare easily for the tests...She is also good about extra credit (we've had about 10-12 points extra credit already only half-way through the symester) she is a little confusing to understand the first day of class-but it's easy to understand her now. She is also very nice.
Dr. Hernandez was excellent. I would most definatly take another class with her.
She is a very good teacher. She is not boring at all and very helpful. I would recommend her to anyone and am hoping to take another class with her in the future.
Awesome class. I loved everything we talked about in class. The instructor is very organized and clear about what she wants you to know. Lectures are pretty interesting. Got an A.
very clear, very interesting, and goes at kindof a slow pace. she is easy to talk to, and i highly recommend her!
She is one of the most clear teachers I'v ever had. She cuts through the crap and only tells you what you need to know for the tests. If you show up to lecture, you'll do just fine. She's alittle funny and pretty nice. Recommended.
boring, uses power point
I look her for Social Psych. She uses powerpoint which made it kind of boring but she was very clear on everything she presented. I liked her a lot!
I absolutely love her! She is really nice and wants eveyone to get an A in her class. She explains things extremely clearly. I go to all the lectures, but don't read the book and study very little and I'm getting an easy A.
Come to every class, get the notes, follow her rules(no tardies/over stepping boundaries) and you're smooth sailing. Gets right to the point on the material, grades fair, and answers all questions/helps you understand until you get it. Took her for 2 semesters- WONDERFUL TEACHER!
She's nice. everything is done in pwrpoint. take notes in class, read the chapters and you'll be fine. i wouls try to sit near the front thought..
She's nice. everything is done in pwrpoint. take notes in class, read the chapters and you'll be fine. i wouls try to sit near the front though..
her class is easy, but she is so boring. She explains everything in great detail, to much detail. you could easily just study from her exam guides and ace the tests
At first she seems a little intimidating but once the class warms up she is really sweet and just a mom. show up to class there is tons of extra credit and the quizes come straight from the NOTES and KEY POINTS she puts on the board. i loves her and would for sure take her again!
Best professor I have ever had i wish there was more passion and knowledge on other professors at RVC like Mrs. Hernandez. If you are in her class you are VERY LUCKY!!!!
make sure you dont miss class!!! she talks way to much and makes the class boring. she uses powerpoint and gives you a study guide which has stuff that is not on the test!!
At first I wasn't impressed, a little slow moving, but she warms up as the semester gets going and I really liked her by mid-term. It's not a hard class, just attend, read and take notes. She has option of extra credit too. Hernandez is knowledgeable in her field and clearly likes to teach.
Julie was great! Her powerpoints were excellent and she would help with lots of questions! I never used the textbook because she was so thorough and explained psych. in a way that wasn't confusing! She gives lots of extra credit and is a very sweet woman! I highly recommend her!
Julie is a very sweet woman who really knows her topic. Her powerpoints were very clear and she was awesome at explaining concepts. She's got a very maternal nature in that she's totally willing to help as much as she can. She uses a lot of personal examples in the class, encourages class discussion, is very thorough and makes it interesting!
She's a very nice woman and knows her subject extremely well. Her powerpoints are always clear and concise and her tests actually make you think. If you take Psychology in Rock Valley College, take her class!
Super easy class. She's very nice. I would def take her again
She is an amazing teacher! Her lectures are clear and she likes to have fun. She gives handouts to the class, which are fun things like personality tests, maze tests, ect.<- not graded just to show how psychology is fun. She is very passionate and understanding. She is an amazing teacher. If you need psychology take her. She knows her stuff!
She is an amazing teacher! She is very interesting and understanding. If you need psychology, take her.
Fantastic instructor
She is very nice and extremely helpful. Very good teacher would like to take her again.
Honestly, Professor Hernandez was an easy teacher, no real tough assignments, but she was very boring. The classes were the same everyday; they never changed up. She didn't keep the class interesting. The beginning of the class was full, but throughout the semester, it dwindled down to almost nothing. . . idk if that tells you anything.
Dont go to class..pretty much pointless..she gives you study guides for the tests and all the info is in the text book..lectures are boring..all with power point.but you only get through 3 slides average a day because she talks alot and goes off on tangents..she is really nice and extremely easy..if you want a challenge dont take it=blow off course
Prof hernandez is very sweet n keeps the class interested in wut she's talking about. She provided us with a review sheet jus before the exam which really helped. I love that's she passionate about social psych which makes for a good experience. Take her, very great professor!
Very good instructor, she has a way of knowing when a topic needs to reiterated because of its difficulty to comprehend. She has a good sense of humor and most times is very upbeat. I am taking more of her classes.
I loved Julie. She is a good teacher and a very sweet person. Her class is easy. She tries to keep in interesting, but even she knows that some of the topics we go over are boring. She knows which topics students have difficulty with, so she spends a little more time on them. Great teacher! I reccomend her to anyone.
Julie is a very good teacher. I found myself looking forward to her classes. Her tests are easy (if you study). Her lectures are interesting and she gives a lot of examples, but she talks quiet. She is not very reliable, she has 2 kids and must have canceled class at least 8 times in the semester I took her class. However, she is a GREAT teacher.
PLEASE TAKE JULIE. SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS THAT I HAVE TAKEN. SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS AND THEIR GRADES. HER LECTURES WERE VERY INTERESTING. I TOOK HER OVER THE SUMMER AND THE CLASSES WERE 4 HRS LONG 4 DAYS A WEEK AND SHE STILL KEPT ME INTERESTED IN HER CLASS. ATTENDING CLASS IS MANDATORY ONLY IF YOU WANT TO PASS. LUV U JULIE..
great teacher and very organized and helpful take her!
I love her! She is the greatest taecher ever! She makes Psychology more fun than it already is! Take her or her husband!
Yes, Julie is very nice and answers your questions thoroughly. But she is too slow. We only got through 3 power point slides per class!! and she would go over one idea so many times, it drove me nuts. It didn't help that we had several individuals who wouldn't just let her teach but I will never again take a class from her.
Great teacher! Very nice and very thorough with everything. Class can get boring at times, but so can any class.She is very helpful. This is an easy class. Tests are all multiple choice but you do have to study. Only two papers to write and both were pretty easy and fun. Take her class!
Uses a lot of examples. Sometimes the class became a little repetitive and boring, but she loves her subject. Very knowledgeable. Easy class.
Loved her! She made psycology easy and had me wanting to learn more! She has all the information you need on her slide shows. All you have to do is show up, take notes, and you'll do fine! Getting a B was pretty easy!
Mrs. Hernandez is clear on what she expects out of you. Tests are on notes and focus topics from the book, so if you don't attend you don't know what she covered. We do interactive experiments which really breaks up the time well. She makes me laugh! The info she teaches sticks because of the great examples she uses. TAKE HER!
Easy teacher and so nice! She explains herself well and she puts all of her notes on power point. You don't have to read the whole text book, she tells you what pages to read. Her tests are exactly what's on her power point notes and they are all multiple choice. You can tell she loves what she does. I recommend taking her for any psychology class!
I wasn't sure how I'd like this class the first day but by the end I was loving it and more importantly it stuck! The way she teaches class is awesome. She actually relates it to you so you will remember it come test time. If you come to class, read what she tells you to read, and take the notes she tells you to take you will do very well!
Very enthusiastic about teaching and her subject. Seems to care about getting concepts through to the students. Quizzes and tests cover a lot of material so be prepared to study--she'll highlight certain topics. Did give extra credit opportunities which were very interesting to complete, so take advantage of them. Take her class.
Awesome teacher!!! Love Love Love her!! She was voted professor of the year in 2010! I took General Psychology with her as well as Social Psychology. I also took her husband George Hernandez for Life-span Psych. They are both great teachers and know their stuff! Recommend either of them!!
Awesome, awesome teacher. She is enthusiastic about her subject, really nice, and tells you basically what's going to be on the tests/quizzes. If you pay a reasonable amount of attention in class, you really won't have to study too much. Class can get a little dry at times, but overall Mrs. Hernandez is awesome.
Prof. Hernandez is such a great teacher. She makes this class very easy and gives plenty of time and warning for assignments. She puts the notes online and attendance is not mandatory, however, you will do better on the tests if you show up. All tests are multiple choice and she will put a study guide on EAGLE. Great teacher
I loved her. She makes the class very interesting and she enjoys in class discussion. She will usually allow a large amount of examples to be given in her class. Highly recommend.
Good professor. There are opportunities for extra credit... She loves to talk! But easy tests and quizzes...Not bad overall.
Julie Hernandez was just Average in my opinion. Not much effort on helping you when you go see her about assignments, not a fair grader either. Wish I had "luck" like all other students on "great teacher" quality...Quite Sad!!
Hernandez has an immense knowledge of psychology and shares as much as she can with you. She's an easy grader and and overall great professor.
My least favorite teacher I have. She teaches at an unbelievable slow rate and gets distracted from the lecture very easily. She also does not teach us 'focus topics' that we have to learn ourselves. You'd think that if it was a focus topic she would teach it...
She is a great professor as you can tell by all the awesome reviews she has received. All I can say is read the focus topics! But it's a very easy class overall.
Easy, kind, clear. She is a good teacher, she knows her stuff, but the classes move at a slow pace. If you are one of those lazy students who blows off the class and still want to get a decent grade, congratulations, here is an opportunity for you. If you're a good student, then this is an easy A.
Julie Hernandez is fabulous. I love her teaching style. She is kind and motherly, gives lots of room for discussion, and presents her ideas and power points clearly. If you read the focus topics, listen during class, and review the power points you will rock this class. I truly enjoyed every single thing I learned. If you want to succeed, you will!
I absolutely love her, she is so adorable and sweet and I always look forward to her class. She is an excellent teacher, she explains things very well. She is amazing, TAKE HER CLASS!
Hernandez's psychology class is so interesting! She teaches off of a power-point, and she includes videos and personal stories in the lecture. She assigns two papers and they're about 3-4 pages with no set format other than the basic MLA suggestions. She gives quizes and tests that are pretty simple! She also gives extra credit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Her lectures can be kind of dry, but she is so sweet. The class is fairly easy, you obviously need to study for tests and quizzes. There is a group presentation that is fairly easy, and there is extra credit.
Prof Hernandez is my favorite teacher. Her exams are not hard if you study.
Professor Hernandez was amazing this semester. I really enjoy her lectures. She brings comedy into the topics, and involves real-life examples and personal scenarios to help you learn psych. Attendance was not mandatory, but you definitely learn better when you attend. As long as you pay attention (which is easy with her ) you will do well. GREAT
Julie is willing to help. you do case presentation with a group of students. she gives out lot of extra credit. but her tests are challenging, and her quizzes are too. you have to write a 7 page paper, i was surprised because i have gotten a's in both english 101 and 103, and got an 82100 on it. you have to study, her lectures long and dry
Julie Hernandez talks very quiet so I would suggest sitting in front of class. Tests are very hard and does not explain what she is looking for in her papers. Lectures are interesting and she is funny. You should take this class if you can memorize tons of definitions easy.
As long as you read and study, there is no way u wouldn't get an A! she posted her powerpoints and u don't have to take notes if you print out your powerpoints. Given extra credits.
Very good teacher. Clear and entertaining. Fun lectures. Lots of examples and good discussion. 10/10 would recommend.
FOCUS TOPICS! Yes you do these on your own, it's called college not high school. Julie is so funny & each lecture is entertaining. She really knows her stuff and really helps you learn the material. She has a great strategy for lectures. You really don't need the book if you just purchase the pearson online code. Get a used copy if you need one.
Prof. Hernandez was awesome! This class you will need to pay attention to pass and what you put into it will make or break you. However, you can tell she is passionate about psychology! I can honestly say Prof. Hernandez has inspired me to become a Psychologist after taking this course.
One of the easiest classes, as long as you have a basic knowledge of psychology or you listen to the lectures you'll hardly need the book (I didn't even but it but she does have one in the RVC library if you need it).
This course is lecture based although the lectures are interesting and make the material easy to understand. Her tests and quizzes are easy as long as you study your notes and read and take notes on the focus topics. Great professor! I would take her class again!
I loved Prof. Hernandez! She gives you a timeline for everything, though it is a rough one. There were 3 days where she didn't come, but she gave a notice through EAGLE. There are only 2 papers, which were earlier in the semester and so easy to write. Don't make the mistake I did, show up and take notes, and you'll be sure to pass.
Professor Hernandez really knows what she's doing. She is really there for her students, if you struggle at all with terms she consistently states throughout the semester that she's available during office hours. She gives many, many chances for extra credit. And unlike some psych classes she gives you an idea of what exactly to study for quizzes.
She's a good professor and really interesting. She takes her time with lectures, so it's a bit slow, but she's enjoyable and very nice. The tests, quizzes, and the whole class in general are really easy.
She is very nice and kind and willing to explain anything that is not understood. Her lectures are long since she goes at a slow pace. She assigns focus topics which are optional but some of the topics will be on the quizzes and exams, so I would suggest doing them- it takes 10 minutes. The notes are on Eagle but test dates are told in class. (etc)
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! Her use of a power point presentation during every lecture really aids understanding of the material. Do be sure to sit near the front though, since she is a little soft-spoken.
She is a great teacher, one of the best at RVC
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!
This class is boring but very easy. She adds humor and stories to make class more interesting. Make sure to check out when the homework is due because she doesn't remind you in class.
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
LOVED HER!!!!! Nothing bad to say, she worked with me through the roughest semester of my life and helped me make sure I didn't fail. Always open and available to her students, and she always greets you with a smile.
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!!!
BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD EVER. Honestly, no one beats her. Take as many classes with her as you can. She's adorable, so sweet, and just utterly the most genuine person. Her teaching method is perfect. The way she explains material makes it impossible not to understand as she is very thorough. She makes students very comfortable. Very easy class! :)
She is probably one of the easiest and nicest teachers I've ever had. Explains her lectures very nice. It'd be hard to fail this class.
Professor Hernandez is a really cool lady! Her lectures are so interesting to listen too, and make you think harder about some of the things we do without realizing. Take Social Psych with her; It is a very interesting She does grade attendance but gives lots of extra credit. No homework either, just quizzes, exams, one paper, and a group project.
I took STU100 with her since it was required. She had 4 Attendance Activities that you had to be there because they were worth 25 Points each. We had 2 papers and powerpoint, but and she explained exactly what we needed to do. She also gave us 2 extra credit opportunities and even canceled the class a few times. Overall funny and caring but rambles
She is literally the sweetest professor Ive ever had!Such a gem, you can tell she loves what she does and she makes class enjoyable. Shes funny, always in a cheerful mood & always willing to help you if you don't undertstand something! Easy homework, few quizzes, no papers, and tons of extra credit opportuinities. Take her class you wont regret it!
She is a great teacher. DEFINITELY an easy A. She has a good style of teaching making it easier to remember!!!
I highly recommend Julie! Shes a great Teacher and she truly knows what shes talking about. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit!
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.
She cares very much about what she teaches and is very thorough in her lectures to the point that our class was a day behind schedule one time. She encourages students to ask questions and makes psychology easy to understand. Overall a great professor.
best prof!
she is one of the best teachers I've ever had. she made my first year of college really easy for me. Although attendance is not mandatory you should really go to class everyday and ask her as many question as you might have, she's really cares about students.
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.
such a sweet teacher!! she really cares about her students and prioritizes her students understanding.
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!
Julie Hernandez was not a great teacher despite what these reviews say. Her class sucked. I didn't learn much and she graded everything super hard and made it seem like her class was the only one that mattered. If you have the choice, do not choose her!
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!!!!!!!
I've never felt like I was going to fall asleep in a class until I took Dr. Hernandez. She's a nice lady and is passionate about what she teaches but I suggest taking another professor if you want to retain information and be engaged in class
Spaces out assignments. 10/10
Dr. Hernandez was the most amazing teacher I have ever had! She helped find a love for psychology!
Dr. Hernandez was one of my favorite professors during my semester. She inspired me to change my major and go into Educational Psychology, a field I never thought I would want to work in. She has a very optimistic attitude and adds in personal stories to her lectures to make the class funny and more interesting.
Professor Hernandez is an amazing professor. Her lectures are very interesting. She is very nice and she genuinely cares about her students. The homework is not hard and it is clear when things are due. The class is very organized. I learned a lot from her class and I would definitely take her again.
Dr. Hernandez, you were my favorite teacher you were willing to help and I just loved having you! I also loved everything was online! Stay Cool Mrs. H!!!!
This class was taken all online and structured very well. It was at your own pace which I liked a lot, but at the same time there were deadlines to hit. Very easy class and all self based.
Dr. Hernandez made this class so much easier. I actually walked away retaining a lot of the material. The assignments were very simple and she gave good feedback. I would recommend this class if you are just getting into psychology.
I enjoyed taking her class and found it to be pretty similar to my psychology class that I took in high school.
Learned a lot about psychology and I cant wait to take her class in person to see the difference.
Professor Hernandez makes this class a breeze. Lectures are engaging, assignments are straightforward, and Unstuck study was a game-changer for exam prep. Highly recommend if you're looking for an interesting intro psych course.
She is awesome, great teacher that provided a lot of good information in lectures a mix of PowerPoint presentations and YouTube clips. I really was able to focus on the key concepts and she was always there to respond back to my emails. Great teacher, great class.
Prof Julie L. Hernandez is the BESTTTTTTTT. She is a super easy grader and this class is pretty much a guaranteed A, just do all your work. The tests are super easy and the time frame between assignments are two- ish months.
