There's alot of things to do but they're pretty easy. Just do all the little assignments, go to class, and pay attention and you'll do fine. She gives alot of extra credit so that's kinda cool. She's always willing to give extra help.

She's amazing, passionate and insightful. Loved the class.

So many people told me not to take this class, because they said that olga was horrible, i got to class and she was great! if u pay attention, do your work, and try to atleast study b4 the exams it will be no prob. getting an a in her class. She's funny,down to earth,passionate, and very helpful!

everyone said to stay away from this professor...but i found her to be one of the best here at uic. shes funny, smart, passionate about the subject, and very helpful. however you do have to work for that 'a' but she doesn't make it impossible...if you're a slacker this class isn't for u.

This class is fun and easy but mu only problems are her exams! She is a harsh grader!! YOU MUST ALWAYS BE SPECIFIC AND GIVE EXAMPLES!! sometimes in my case thats not good enough since it shows you know the info on the exam but it isn't always what she may be looking for.She is hard!!!

She is a nice teacher. Just go to lecture and she will explain everthing. If your not clear on something or need help just ask her and she will deliver. Stict and tough on grading assignments but it's all fair game. Just follow her instructions and pay attention and you will get a good grade.

Guys she is the best teacher at UIC. Very clear... She has great excellent teaching skills. I dont know why everyone thinks she is a harsh grader. I dont think that she is a harsh grader, actually she is very fair. I just took her class and learned a lot from this class class. Her tests are also easy just attend her lectures and study her study gui

Great professor! She is very clear and explains everything in detail. The exams are ok, not easy or too hard. But you get alot of opportunities to get points such as papers and extra credit. It's not an easy A, but as long as you go to class, and actually try to understand the material, then you'll do well. I enjoyed her lectures!

This is one of the best teachers in UIC! She is so sweet when meeting her in her office hrs. Her exams are a little challenging but she does grade on a curve. And also drops lowest exam grade out 4! She truly Amazing! I would take her again!

She is THE BEST! She let's you speak up in class and truly respects each students' opinion. Honestly, this is the best prof I had at UIC, however, there's catch. BEWARE of her exams, she knows exactly what she's looking for. I wouldn't say a harsh grader but more so specific. Unlike some profs, she actually knows how to teach.

She is a harsh grader and expects a lot from u but SHE is THE GREATEST PROFESSOR u will EVER HAVE! She's real w/ u and she's on ur level. Lets u miss class. She knows what she's doing and considerate as well. She makes everything interesting and doesnt just lecture during the whole period

BEST class I have taken at UIC so far. AMAZING prof. and person. Even used Dr. Reyes as a reference for me... she is abs. great... I learned a lot from her. Everyone should take a class being taught by her :-)

she is hilarious and awesome. the exams are super easy as long as you attend class and read the study guides.

I dont understand why she doesnt have a higher rating. The tests arent too bad, its just the paper thats such a pain. She gives a lot of extra credit and I think shes pretty funny. Go to class, take notes, sit in the front so she sees you and just go to some office hours. Shes very reasonable.However, the TA's arent nice!Fight for your paper grade

Extremely helpful and understanding of questions. Paper is a pain but tests are fair and if you do the study guides you'll be fine. PAY ATTENTION TO THE EXAMPLES SHE GIVES IN CLASS as this is where she gets most of her essay questions. Attendance isn't required but you get extra credit if you go! She knows a lot about her subject and is funny too.

I can't decide if I like her or not. Or if she's a good teacher or not. She's a little crazy sometimes, but she also seems to really know what she's talking about. The class isn't that hard. Just go to the lectures because she gives out a lot of extra credit! But, she encourages asking questions WAY TOOOO MUCH! It makes simple things seem confusing

Honestly, I am still deciding if Dr. Reyes is a good teacher or not. However, there are two things I know for sure: she is a bit insane, and she knows her material. The class is fairly easy. Be sure to attend lectures because she gives out tons of extra credit and she uses personal examples that will appear on the exams in interesting ways.

I don't know what everyone is hating on her. I thought she was pretty good. She really tries to make sure the material is easy for you to understand and i can respect that. A little rude sometimes but besides that she was fine.

Great professor! Lectures were helpful, but redundant at times and exams were completely based on lectures. The extra credit points were helpful. The hardest part about the class is the paper which requires lots of revisions and research. However, its possible to get a b on the paper and a high a in the class if exam scores are high.

Absolutely loved her! she makes sure you understand the material and loves giving examples. she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. shes strict only because she cares. paper is not that hard if you are interested in the topic. extra credit savd me!

Love her! On top of the fact that she gives out A LOT of extra credit, the class is really interesting and if you pay attention in class, you'll know the exam questions! Easy A! Do what she asks and you'll for sure get an A. 2 exams: multiple choice, matching, and short answer. Final: multiple choice, matching, and true/false. Paper: 8-10 pgs.

She is knowledgeable in the field and knows what she is talking about. She grades fair. The students who do poorly on the test were usually ones who didn't study, don't pay attention, and don't come to lecture, or surf Facebook all class time.

Amazing and great at holding attention! Fun, funny, and interesting!!! Had her for 2 classes and love her! Want to take more of her classes!

She explains things thoroughly, sometimes twice. Exams are easy if you take notes in lecture. Book is used for knowing 2-3 questions on the exam. The only bad thing about her class were the rules. She stops class often to point out texting and it's really annoying. People will always text, just let it go

She hates when someone texts or sees a phone. But really if you listen to her and take notes, it's a really easy class. Go to to lecture for extra credits, which she gives a lot of. If do average on tests and get the extra credit its an easy A.

okay guys, she is strict yes and a little rude but not that bad. go to lecture and get extra credit points, don't take out your cell phone. take notes (she uses the book for notes) and exams can be a little tricky but NOT that tricky. most people want an A without even going to class. you're in college, grow up. I recommend her, not that bad.

Prof Reyes is a decent teacher, everyone who bashes her is just a lazy complainer. She gives out a tremendous amount of E.C. so just go to class, you pay to do so anyways so what's the deal? My test scores were avg around high C's and low B's. Got a close to a C on the paper but ended up with an A kuz I went to class everyday for E.C.

Dr. Reyes is a good professor and she cares about her students. Some of her exam questions are tricky, but she does drop some questions after the exam after asking students their opinion. The paper is easy as long as you follow the instructions.

VERY few powerpoints, majority of class just her lecturing. Posted online so if you missed class you could listen whenever. MC exams w/ study guides. Paper was easy, she even lets you submit a draft where she'll say what needs to be fixed. Says no EC but she knocks off questions from exams that are missed by a lot, and does ass EC questions to them

took her for Psych 315. Doesn't take attendance but she gives out a bunch of EXTRA CREDIT! you can get an 'A' easy. One extra credit I recall was dancing with her in class, although it sounds silly it was 3 pts. She also gives EC on exams. 1 paper 3 exams non cumulative. she's strict but silly at times. highly recommended

She's a funny teacher. I enjoyed going to her classes because of how she conducted class. She gives out a lot of extra credit points so there shouldn't be a reason not to get a good grade

Exams were kind of hard, but information that was covered during lectures was included & PLENTY of extra credit. It's hard waking up for an 8 AM class, but Dr. Reyes' lively personality actually made me want to come to class (along with the extra credit points given out during lectures). I would definitely recommend her! 3 exams & 1 paper :)

This class is really interesting and not boring. BUT she doesn't put up any slides so make sure that you take notes!! Honestly, just take notes and you won't even need the book regardless of what she says. GO TO CLASS, she gives EXCESSIVE EC!! And every exam is 50 Q and 10EC Q meaning total is really 120100. I ended up with over 100% in the class

Everything is on lecture capture. Her exams are difficult. Gives tons of extra credit for attending class. The research paper is tideous.

I love her! I was so unsure about taking her class because I read all the negative reviews but I'm glad I took her class. She is so repetitive but that's good! The more she repeats, the more it sticks to your head. She gives a ton of extra credit too. I never studied and I've gotten almost perfect scores. She's funny too. I've truly learned a lot

Class attendance is not mandatory but I highly recommend to attend because the lectures are not provided in a slide show and provides random extra credit opportunities in class. Overall, she is great instructor, friendly, eager to to teach and help. The exams are multiple choice and very easy! Take this class, you won't regret it!!!!

She is one of the best professors you can have for Undergrad experience. She gives a lot of extra credit. She is very through with her stuff and the lectures are very clear. She welcomes questions during class and is also available after class. Very approachable and super nice.

I'm sorry, but the people complaining about her are probably the idiots getting caught playing with their phone in class or the people who somehow got a B or lower, even with all the extra credit. Dr. Reyes is one of the best professors I've ever had. She knows how to connect to our generation, and she is very responsive to email. TAKE HER!!!!

If you want to learn in an easy class, Reyes is the teacher for you. She explains very well and has a ton of extra credit. Perfect for an 8 AM. Come do the study guides and you are sure to get an A.

Overall, she did a wonderful job with the material that she went over. ParticipationAttendance really add to how well you do only because how she teaches in mainly integrated with her lectures being very helpful and she never progresses with what she teaches until we were all on the same page.

I took the class over the summer and I will say that the book is required. The book is available online for free but you have to look for it. The class covers many interesting topics and the professor is very approachable on any and every issue. Gives a lot of extra credit both in class and exams which helps to boost the grade by a lot.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked her teaching, but after taking a class where all the teacher did was lecture I loved Reyes' class. She makes the lectures funny. Pay attention to her specific examples bc they will be on the test. Textbook not needed. Just take notes, ask questions and be ready for extra credit. She's good!

She can be really mean and condescending at times but the class was easy. Just don't use your phone in class cuz she will catch you! She finds joy in catching people on their phones. Tons of extra credit over 100 extra credit points in a 400 point class. Had over 100% in the class . One essay a bit tedious . Book is expensive don't buy it

She's an amazing professor and I'm sad I can't take another one of her classes before I graduate. She makes going to lecture fun and lets the students talk about their own experiences. Three exams, no final and she gives SO much extra credit. I have over 100 percent right now and this is my favorite class

SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT. you can get on C on every exam and with the extra credit easily get an A. The key is to go to class! no classno extra credit. Just take notes during lecture on what she says and you will me fine

Anyone who says she's a bad instructor clearly never goes to class. She has no problem handing out extra credit to those who attend class. Probably have had at least 100 points of extra credit this semester. This is my third class with her. All classes are 3 exams and 1 paper.

She was a really good professor. She has a different teaching style which is quite effective in my opinion. If you attend class and take notes you can easily get an A. Even if you can't attend class, she has her lectures all recorded which is quite helpful. She gives tons of extra credit that is easy to get as long as you attend class! Take her!!

She's very laid back and chill. She gives a lot extra credit in class and during the exams. The exams are based on the lectures and some material from the book which she'll tell you. I studied the day before and always got an A or a B. slides aren't used, but she'll hold your attention during note taking and she'll repeat if necessary.

Her exams are tough, even if you do read the book and go to every lecture and take good notes, luckily she gives extra credit.

I was skeptical of taking her classes because of the bad rap she gets on here but luckily I did, she is a great professor! She explains difficult topics well, available for help if needed. I didn't use the book, took detailed notes, attended every class, took advantage of the massive amounts of EC and received an A. The 3 tests are alright, 1 paper

Professor Reyes is awesome! The exams are a little tough but she gives so much EC that it makes up for it. Just go to class because she'll randomly take attendance (or give EC pop quizzes, open notes though) & it will boost your grade! Without the extra credit, I had a low B. Once she added all the EC, I had a 120%! Take her class! :)

She's a great professor. She does not put powerpoints up on blackboard, but she uses lecture capture so you can go back and rematch the lectures. Very minimal information on the powerpoints she uses in class. Gives lots of extra credit opportunities, and tests aren't ridiculously hard. Show up, pay attention, read your book, and you'll do well.

This class was one of the best classes at UIC and it is all thanks to Professor Reyes. She is amazing! She offers a lot of extra credit, and even though there is a lot to cover in lecture, she has a great sense of humor and truly makes the class really interesting. Highly recommend her.

LOVE her as a professor. She's funny, realistic, and genuinely cares. She gives A TON of extra credit, basically enough to pull your grade up one whole letter. Her lectures were kind of scattered so you have to pay attention to grasp all of the information, but she does a great job teaching the class. Love her!

Dr. Reyes is amazing and I love her lectures. I feel like majority of the people here who left bad reviews are overly sensitive and cannot handle a few jokes. Honestly, with the amount of extra credit we get in the class and having a very detailed syllabus idk how people are still lost.

I went into this class thinking it was going to be difficult; however, Dr. Reyes is always super clear on what she expects from us. She gives a ton of extra credit! All you have to do is make sure you make it to class and take notes. Her exams are lecture heavy. Highly recommend!!

This professor gives a lot of extra credit. Allows for discussion with a large lecture course and very interesting material. Lecture slides are provided for note-taking, but the notes are not always clearly laid out. Most of the material is conceptual (not very heavy on definitions). Follow her lectures and you'll do well.

-Posts lectures on blackboard, therefore if you miss it's okay. -Recommend that you don't miss because she gives a lot of surprise extra credit opportunities. -Lectures are interesting, and she's funny. -Major Paper, start working on it early on!

Reyes is the the of professor that seems hard but actually grades very nicely. Her exams are difficult but she curves like crazy and removes many questions. Attend class so that you can grab that delicious and juicy extra credit. That EC adds up and literally bumped me up into the high A range when I was expecting to get a B.

Has a soothing voice and her lectures were funny and interesting. I enjoyed the class, was probably my most relaxing class all semester. Thanks, Dr. Reyes! Two tests, one of which is the non-cumulative final. Attend class and watch the movies/take notes to get extra credit. One major paper, which I wrote in three and a half weeks and got an A on.

My eval after the 1st exam: You need to attend class in order to do well on her exams, you cannot rely only on the ppt. A lot of content is from what she says and many times there's not a slide on it. She also gives a bunch of extra credit in class and in the exam which is great.
