this teacher is fantastic. She is very helpful, kind, and laid back. She will go over each test and makes sure you understand the question. She wil take the time to help you understand the assignment well. she is also VERY HOT.
An amazing teacher. It's because of her I changed my major to Psych. You want a teacher who actually cares about your grade.. and you, for that matter, take her:) A+A+A+A+A+
Mrs. Molinaro is truly enthusiastic about the subject she teaches. This much is evident as she has had a considerable amount of real life experience within the field. Very kind, helpful, and understanding. Lectures are interesting & hw assignments help in preparing for her tests. Loved the class!
Mrs Molinaro-great knowlegdable teacher that i would recommend. it is present that she has been through many psychology classes and ias much knowledge in the field. The only bad thing about taking her class is that she tends to teach the class as if we already are 100% familiar with the material
Great Professor, if your a guy and want a hot professor than she's the one. If you give a little effort than it's an easy A. ****
She is a very good teacher. You can tell she really loves her job. She is very helpful and try to help you keep your A. I would recommend her to anyone. Take her if you are really interested in Psychology.
I loved it.. she is very well-informed, prepares you a lot, and also very helpful . I loved her knowledgeable expressions,an excellent teacher.
Wonderful teacher! Loved her class and her way of teaching. Would recommend her to everyone!
Wonderful person and one of God's finest creation. The best!

Mrs. Molinaro is one the BEST teachers at SPC, hands down. She taught the so well that I barely had to study for the exams. She does a lot of critical thinking exercises in class so that you really learn, which is why I didn't have to study so much. She's a fair grader and runs statistics on every single question on every single test. Take her!
There's really nothing bad you can say about her. She's AWESOME!!!! You will learn in her class basic psych and much more. Taking this class helped me see people differently! She's the best teacher I've had at SPC!
If you are looking into taking the blended psychology class. Get into Kim Molinaro's class. She is a great teacher and she really helps you to understand what you are learning. AWESOME Teacher!
She really cares about her students. She is probably the best teacher I've encountered at SPC!!!!! If you get the chance please do take her for psych, but beware her classes fill up FAST, this semester she was well over the limit in students, we had to bring extra seats in for people!!!!!!! I don't think a single person dropped her class!
she is one of the greatestt teacher at spc. take her for psychology! you'll love her class and you won't wanna miss any of her classes.
Mrs. Molinaro is one of the best teachers in SPcollege. at the begining of the class i was close to C but when i studied hard with her, and make her assignments on time and showed interest in her class she let me get an A at the end of the class. i highly recommended her. do not miss this teacher, she is cute too.
Awesome teacher. so nice and interesting
Best teacher at SPC so far. Makes lecture very interesting and makes sure you learn the material before testing. She is very helpful and is VERY fair when grading and will put anything asside to give extra help. Take her if you have to take psychology.
Very helpful and extremely enthusiastic about teaching psychology
One of the best teachers I have had at SPC..always available to help - and content is always interesting..she does not give the usual boring lecture..If you have to take the class sign up for hers you won't be sorry.
Amazing at helpling you learn the material!
She's one of the best teachers I've ever had. She explains everything crystal clear and makes sure you know it. Apply good effort and you will get an A in her class. She is highly helpful and very kind too. She doesn't impose her views but offers her opinion. You WILL learn Psych if you take from Molinaro... you just have to want to basically! Yay!
Best teacher at spc by far!! She is a wonderful teacher and she really works with students to make sure they understand all the material! I wish she would teach all my classes! She was always there for me whenever i had a question.. take her for psych you definately won't regret it!!!
Professor Molinaro is a great professor. She is extremely helpful and caring. You do have to write a 2000 word paper, but it isn't that hard if you chose a person who has an intresting life. I am taking her again because I enjoyed her class so much.
She is AWESOME! One of the best teachers Iv ever had! She explains everything in depth and makes it fun! The class is easy if you study and pay attention and she is very very helpful. She is also very pretty and bubbly making the class time fun!
excellent teacher! she explains everything so thoroughly that even if you don't read your book, its impossible to not know whats going on. She makes it so that you can't not get an A. She has a lot of help online and takes questions and answers more then enough. This class would be way boring but she keeps it interesting!
SHE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD IN ANY SUBJECT.She really cares and INVOLVES the class. She teaches the material in a fun and interesting way by using psychology strategies that help you remember easily. You learn everything you need to know in class. There is not a better profressor.
Great teacher! Took her over the summer and she managed to make the 2 hours very interesting! When she lectures you know she is very passionate about what she knows and is very good at teaching you everything! Reaction papers help reinforce what you know too! Love love LOVED this class!
I highly recommmend her, she is very helpful. She is willing to help you understand the material. She has a great positive energy, that makes you enjoy the class.
Amazing instructor! She goes out of her way to help you understand the material. She takes a great interest in all her students from the first class. The class was pretty easy, but I learned so much! I wish she taught more courses!
Professor Molinaro is an INCREDIBLE teacher! She makes herself available to every student who has questions or has a hard time understanding something. Very encouraging, very helpful, and to top it all, very beautiful woman. As kind and welcoming a teacher as I've ever encountered. HIGHLY recommended!
My best teacher ever at SPC. Highly recommended. I love her lectures. Tests are straight from notes. Easy assigments. Replies email extremely fast. Best teacher ever ever...
What a great teacher! Prepared to the hilt! Immensely available & helpful, wants her students to excel. Prof. Molinaro is one of THE BEST teachers I have ever known. Clear lectures, very upbeat, patient w/ people who walk in late & in front of her in class. (Geez, people! Grow up!) Prof. Molinaro even does a review right b4 the test! Beautiful too!
Mrs. Molinaro is the best teacher I have ever had. I use to go to school at a very popular college and never had a professor like Prof. Molinaro. She is a great lecturer. I never get bored or tired in her class. Most interesting class I have ever taken.
shes an amazing teacher. very clear & concise. she goes over everything more than once & explains everything in detail. her tests are exactly what she teaches. shes always available for help
Mrs. Molinaro is one of the best teachers I have ever had at SPC. She is very helpful, organized, and well spoken. I'll probably end up taking another one of her Psychology classes after I'm finished with General Psychology. Highly recommend taking her for any Psychology classes!!
She is the BEST! Her class is so easy, and it's not because it's a joke. It's because she's passionate about what she teaches, and her lectures are extremely interesting. She gives you study guides for the tests, just study. Very few homework assignments, and there are... it's because they'll help you with the material. TAKE HER!!!
amazing teacher, loves what she teachers. Teaching it different way so everyone can relate/understand. She looks so young but said shes been married for like 22 years! shes gorgeous!
She's as motivated and passionate about the material as she is "very healthy" looking and easy on the eyes and mind.
I have taken Mrs. Molinaro for three consecutive semesters now. She is by far the best professor I have had at SPC. She has the ability to make you want to learn and pay attention and when it comes to test time, you'll be amazed at how much you already know. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone taking any course dealing with Psychology at SPC.
Excellent teacher. She makes clear what she expects from her students. Her tests are base on learning objectives, so if you know them you're golden. She makes lecture fun and material tends to stick with you.
Mrs.Molinaro is a wonderful teacher. She sort of makes me dizzy because she is so energetic and tends to always move around while teaching. Neverhteless she teaches really well.She is sort of inspiring.
Most amazing teacher ever. She needs her own school. Every class with her is amazing. If you fail it's your fault because she is so helpful and explains everything so well. Her classes are a must. Take her class and see.
She is one of the best teachers I've ever had, and she really explains everything well. Don't wait until the last week to start your research paper, though!
Amazing teacher! very helpful and fun in class. She is willing to help out when she can, and is extremely understanding. Very caring and down to earth. Take this class!
she rocks....love here
SHE IS THE B-E-S-T T-E-A-C-H-E-R EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DOESN'T STOP UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND IT ALL.THEN AGAIN SHE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING SOOOOOO WELL!!!!!! SHE IS REALLY REALLYY NICE,FUNNYYYY AND KEEPS YOU ENTARTAINED.I ALWAYS WANT TO GO TO THAT CLASS,AND I DONT WANNA LEAVE! I WOULD TAKE HER CLASSES ALL THRU COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best teachers in the school! Very kind, patient, and truly WANTS you to succeed. Explains everything until everyone understands. Will help with projects and questions. Tests are different, but designed for you to succeed. She is so energetic, fun, and very knowledgeable!
She is the BEST teacher i've ever had at St. Petersburg College. Its a guarenteed A. She is so nice and helps with ANYTHING you have a problem with. She actually made school fun for once in my life. Final is mandatory though... however its easy and only takes like 20 minutes to finish if u study. I would DEFINATELY recomend Mrs. Molinaro.
She is so nice and cute! She really gets into the material that she teaches, and really captures your attention! She never hesitated to help any one in the class! She is worth waiting to take the course! She taught the content so well in class, that I barely had to open my textbook and I got an A in the class! She is terrific!!!!
definitely one of the best professors you will ever have :)
Well she's a bit too cheerful for my tastes but she is definitely a good teacher, makes sure you completely understand before moving on to the next topic.
Nice teacher. take her class if you want a good grade.
By far the best professor I have had at SPC, I wish she taught other subjects. Molinaro will not continue class until you understand it! Definitely recommend!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT SPC! SERIOUSLY! She has a pure passion for what she does and is extremely helpful! Stays on topic and makes Psychology super interesting! Wish she taught all classes! So cute and sweet!
I took her for General Pysch recently overall very satisfying course. Her test are a little challenging but nothing to be scared of- must study for them. Take her research paper seriously and get an easy A!! Looked forward to attending her class. Makes an effort to get to know the class and you as an individual. Will take her again in a heat beat!
Professor Molinaro is absolutely amazing!!! She is by far the best professor I've ever had.She has a impeccable schedule and teaches things in an enthusiastic and upbeat way that it's exciting to go to class. Tests need to be studied for, but overall, it's really easy! I will most definitely be signing up for her Abnormal Psych class next semester!
Best Professor ever! She helped to change my life and mold my career. She is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate. Encourages students to work togther. Go to the Study Groups to prepare for tests, take the paper SERIOUSLY (it will be easy if you do), and study the material, you'll be fine! Kim Molinaro is the best!!
I am going to marry that woman. She is soooooo hoottttt. She is also an awesome teacher. Molinaro was put on this earth in order to teach psychology. She has it down to a science.
best teacher! so really loves what she does and it shows. I tooked her for general and developmental and got a's both times. Her class is easy and it is a fun class. I looked forward to going to her class
She is just fantastic! I take her class at 8 am and I am NOT a morning person, but I actually wake up and am excited to be going to this class! She's so helpful, never looks down on you, beautiful, and just a doll. I want to take every class with her. You get extra credit for showing up on time for every class. :)
Best teacher SPC has! Hands down!
Mrs. Molinaro is the best teacher at SPC. he is kind, helpful and I extremely passionate about her work. She makes class fun and exciting and will take time to help someone. She wants to get to know you and has many return students for her other classes. TAKE HER CLASS! You wont be disappointed!!!

I took her online and she is better than most of my teachers I took in person. She is extreamly helpful and organized. She made is so easy to keep up with assignments. I would highly recommend take this teacher.
Prof. Molinaro's positive mood is contagious. If psychology is your cup of tea I would recommend taking her.
Kim is a great teacher! I've known her for years. It's hard not to do well in her class! :)
This was my very first class at SPC. It was the best class I have had thus far. Mrs. Molinaro pulls you into the world of psychology by applying the work to real life situations. Excellent class!
She was a wonderful teacher. She was extremely helpful with everything. Part of the class was blended, but she made it extremely interesting.
She is an awesome teacher. Really helpful and wants you to succeed.
Fabulous professor. You're doing yourself a disservice if you DON'T have a class with her. Loves her job and her subject, very clear, so helpful (on many levels). Don't let annoying classmates who treat the class like a group therapy session ruin the class for you; she handles those types well. Will be taking another class of Mrs. Molinaro's.
She really is one of the best teachers at SPC.She is really caring about her students.I have never met another teacher like her.She should teach every class in SPC and in the rest of the universities! lol.You rock Ms. Molinaro!
best teacher i've ever had for any subject. you're a fool if you don't sign up with her.
I've had professor Molinaro for General Psych, Abnormal Psych, and she is by far the best professor I've had at St. Petersburg College and I wish I could take her for every Psychology course! She is crystal clear, and gives great examples to understand content. Assigns great assignments, and makes the class fun.
Professor Molinaro is by far the best, and most easiest professor at St.Petersburg College. Her way of teaching is clear, and easy to understand. She takes pride in making sure all of her students pass. She has 4 tests in Gen Psy. 3 chapter base, and one final test. A Major research paper, and study activities which are all very helpful!
omg she is the best teather i have ever had. she is very helpful,clear on what she says. She cares a lot about her students,she wants everyone to pass. she is so funny she brings up examples for everyday life. which makes the material a lot easier to understand i wish i had her in every subject.
I've taken 3 classes from her, and my major isn't even in psychology! She is amazing. Helpful, intelligent, and just plain nice. Lucky to have her at SPC clearwater campus!!
She is one of the best teachers I have had in college. Makes the material clear & easy to understand and also makes it fun and interesting. She is a very nice person and makes all students feel welcome and will do anything she can to help you succeed. I have learned alot in her developmental psych class. Highly recommended!!
Mrs. Molinaro is an amazing teacher and so helpful. She is by far one of the best professors i have had at spc. She makes the material so fun. She has a great personality and is super funny. As long as you come to class and pay attention you will do great.
The best teacher in the world! I have never met another teacher like her.
Molinaro is amazing! She keeps the class interested in what she's discussing. Great class environment. This professor goes above and beyond to make sure you pass her class.
Great teacher! Wish I had her for Gen Psych. If you put effort into the work it is an easy A. She is very understanding and helpful. Overall she makes it interesting and fun.
I had Kim for both GenPsyc and Abnormal. She is a great teacher and person. She will not move on until every student understands what is going on. She makes the classroom fun and the subjet fun. She will make it so everyone can pass on their own. She is truly the best teacher at SPC, after you have her class no prof will compare.
This teacher will blow all others out of the water. Nicest woman you will ever meet. Whether you want to learn or not, you will. 3 exams, MC and 2 essaysnot cum.If you pay attention (hard not to) and reviewthe night before you will do fine. She hints at the essays before the test. Group project easy if you work together and dont procrastinate.
Great teacher. Highly recommend her for online course. Theres really no reason to not do the work, so don't skip out on it (like I ended up doing like an idiot)! She clarifies things with such a positive attitude that I enjoyed learning. Teaches really well, and gives great examples!
WHEN STARTING THE CLASS IT SEEMS AS IF ITS ALOT OF WORK, BUT ITS REALLY EASY I DIDNT TRY BUT STILL RECIEVED AN B.. THE MID TERM AND FINAL WAS KINDS HARD
This was the first class I took online and I really enjoyed it! She is very helpful and the workload was manageable. As long as you put forth the effort for the work, there is no way you shouldn't get an A. Would recommend her to anyone!
While she is a very, very nice professor, I hate that she is constantly saying "I do this because everyone learns differently!" snd yet she is my only prof who does NOT use a power point. If you are a visual learner I would not suggest taking her class because it can be very difficult to follow along. other than that she's a great teacher.
3 tests and a final, 4 study activities that must be attended for an hour each and a paper that is split in four sections and worth 40% of total grade. Class is not easy, but this professor is awesome!! Take her!
Honestly, the class was not that easy or anything but, she made it so interesting that the work was enjoyable. I have her in the mornings and she was always so peppy that after her class I actually felt more awake. She is very understanding and will always respond to e-mails. I loved her class.
If you read every single information she gives you and do the practice test you will learn and do great in the class. Very informative and always gives you feedback.
Prof. Molinaro is the best professor I have ever had! She was really funny and loves teaching. I would defiinetly take her again. She throughly teaches the material and I dont think she could do a better job at what she does. LOVE HER!!!
Not an easy class, but she is definitely one of the best professors at getting me to understand something I have no idea about. She is the best teacher I have ever had hands down! She will be missed. O and shes pretty good looking too!
BEST TEACHER!! Had her for honors.Wow! This woman is immensely passionate about psychology and teaching. She is one of those teachers who light up with joy when students ask questions. I learned ALOT! The work isnt difficult as long as you dedicate time to reading the book. Time flys by in her class. Plus she is absolutly gorgeous inside and out!
Amazing! You would have to put real effort into failing her class. I think the lowest grade in our semester was a B. She is fair and helpful and gives every opportunity for her students to succeed! She even helps to put together study groups with activities to help study. Register early because her class fills up fast! (And for good reason
Took online. Prof. Molinaro is the absolute best! She is great when it comes to communication and will do anything to help her students succeed. My favorite class so far! I would recommend you register early if you plan to take her class because it fills up quickly. Take her...you won't regret it!
GREAT TEACHER!!! Took her online. So easy. Never needed to really contact her, but when I did twice she responded right away. She wants you get an A. Discussion post, small activity and quiz every week which take very little time. Everything is open book and open note. Exams are in order by chapter. Take her if you can!
Amazing teacher overall, loved the class. Wish there were more teachers like her.
Great teacher. I loooove psychology but I am not a fan of being forced to study. I got a 96% A in her class. Very easy. Just do your work and do the quizzes online! HINT HINT! If you do the quizzes, you'll see some of those questions on the test. I did most of my studying before class, that's why I got a 96%. I have her again cuz shes amazing.
She is very knowledgeable and excited about course material. She has a great personality which keeps you interested. She's also hotter than a pistol!
Phenomenal teacher. She loves what she does, and it definitely shows. Very excited about course material and keeps you interested. I was in her honors class, and there's a somewhat heavy workload but the CH objectives are not graded and are for your own good. Take good notes & do the practice quizzes you will ace the final. Very fun class-love her!
Ms Molinaro is one of my favourite professors ever! She is so nice, and will always help you with anything you might need! There are 3 exams + final exam. The first exam and the final are in class, the other two are in Angel. Save the tests, all the questions are on the final :) P.S. She is probably the funniest prof. I ever had!
absolutely loved this teacher. she makes everything so easy and fun. definitely an easy A class. Take her for any and all psychology classes.
There is no better professor in this subject. She cares about your grade as much as you do. If you fail, it is because you tried to. She will cover the same material as many times as needed if there is one person that doesn't "get it." She is passionate, enthusiastic, and professional.
Beautiful, intelligent, kind, incredibly smart, funny, helpful and compassionate. Kim is whole package love her, and love her class.
This professor was awesome. She adds extra videos so that you understand the subject. Gives great feedback and keeps us with grading.
There's really no beating this Prof. Molinaro...you just need to take her. This review is for Gen. Psych, but she instructs in-depth major courses as well. Register early because her classes fill. You won't regret it! She's the BEST.
Along with Mrs. Meyers in the Math Department... hands down, the best Professors in their professions! You will NOT MEET another professor who loves their craft, their subject, and their students more! If you are thinking about psych as a major/career... then take the professor who DID IT ALREADY... Professor Kimberly Molinaro! Great smile too! LOL
She's a very very good professor , and very good to look at if you know what i mean ;). And I think that's helpful to her as a professor and to you as a student, I never remember her having many absences in her class maybe one or two the whole year especially from guys, we were never absent, but she's very professional don't get the wrong impressi
LOVE HER. CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY IF YOU ARE ABLE TO TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES. Literally my favorite teacher in all of St Petersburg College. You will learn so much and have a great time doing it.
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. I took Professor Molinaro last spring semester. I woke up in the morning excited to go to her class and learn! She is extremely passionate about what she does, and she WANTS to help. She cares a lot about her students, if you go to class you will receive a good grade. She is gorgeous as well!
She is the best professor ever! Before I took psychology I thought it was going to be really hard, but she makes it easy. She helps so much and makes sure you understand. She goes in depth with the material. She always answers emails, and you can talk to her about personal things. She is very nice. Please take her she is the best!
SHe is an amazing teacher, i highly recommend you to take her
Probably one of the best professors at SPC and if you are looking for 3 easy credits for social & behavioral sciences take general psychology with this professor. There is 3 tests and two of them are online and there is 1 paper that you must complete and its not due until the end of the semester, and then the final exam, this was an easy A.
Prof. Molinaro is a caring, compassionate, intelligent teacher. Sitting in her class listening to her lectures (which are very interesting) will get you an A. If you are a Psychology major, she will give you advise on Grad Schools, Internships,and what classes to take. She waits after class to talk to her students. She is amazing to say the least.
WONDERFUL teacher!! Loves her students and loves her job! Easy class and you'll learn so much from her!
Molinaro is honestly the best professor! You won't regret taking her.
Professor Molinaro is amazing throughout all the teachers I have had she was probably the best. Her lectures all very interesting and she does a good job of explaining everything. She does offer a lot of extra credit in her class and holds study sessions for the class, especially before the final exam. She has a great personality and wants to help!
Mrs. Molinaro is hands down the best teacher at SPC. Her lectures are attention grabbing and also informative. She's a kind and sweet person with a love for what she does and it definitely shows. When I came to SPC I was lost about what I wanted to do in life and thanks to Mrs. Molinaro, I want to do something in the psychology field! She's amazing
Absolute favorite teacher. Gives individual feedback for every assignment and uses all sorts of methods and examples to get students to understand the material (really cares). Quick responses to questionsemails + a fair grader. Make sure you produce quality work if you expect to get an A. I would take any classes she teaches given the chance.
Greatest professor at this school. TAKE HER CLASS. Show up to class, most of what she says in on the test. She is every understanding. Take her practice quizes, most are on the test. Three tests and final. Not too hard if you study. Splits essay into two parts. Shes very good at explaining until you fully understand. Hands down best professor ever.
Favorite professor ever!!!! she is funny and caring. makes what she teaches easy for students to understand. the tests are exactly what she goes over in class and the questions from practice quizzes she posts online often show up on tests, so you should go over all practice quizzes. Everyone should get an A in her class.
Ridiculously easy. Don't bother getting the text, she grades off her lectures, so take good notes or find someone who does. If you attend class and pay attention you'll do fine. Three exams, cumulative final, and two part research paper. Lots of extra credit opportunity, points based class. She's a PHENOMENAL lecturer, you'll never be bored.
Would take again for any class! Empathetic, respected, inspiring, quirky - just a ball of awesome. The way she talks and presents herself makes you feel so welcomed and valued. Lectures can get a little long but it's not too boring because she's intelligent and passionate about it. Not completely necessary to buy the book or always attend.
If you are looking for a fun, quirky, caring teacher, well you've got her! She wanted to be a comedian in her younger years, so she makes a lot of jokes and hopes you'll laugh. the class is very light and fun, but very information filled. she uses up all of the time, but her lectures are fun and you wont get bored.
Molinaro thinks she is funny and hot. She tries to be bubbly all the time, but to me, it comes off fake. Her tests are easy but she assigns a difficult research essay on a mental illness of a celebrity which lasts the whole semester long. She never cuts class short and in order to get an A students will have to go to class everyday.
Tests are not easy A, but if you study you'll get at least a B on them. Prof wants you to succeed and offers some easy points and extra credit to help. A two part paper is required (about 2000 words total) but its divided into smaller sections so it's not too bad. You pick the topic as long as its psych related (serial killers, etc).
I took Professor Molinaro for gen psych. & she is an amazing educator who obviously LOVES her career. Essay-type assignment that lasts the entirety of the semester but she's willing to help you every step of the way. No study guides per say, but there are study groups & reviews you can participate in (Very helpful). Will def. take for dev. psych!
Professor Molinaro is the best professor I've EVER had. I've taken 3 classes with her, and passed all 3 with an A. She makes her grading very clear and gives fantastic lectures. She really cares about her students' success and is very supportive. Her classes are anything but boring; you're missing out if you don't take at least one of them.
She really wants everyone to pass. The only way not to pass is to not attempt your test and your psych paper. She tries to do whatever she can for everyone.
Kim Molinaro is only of the most knowledgeable professors I have ever had. I would take her class even if it's not required for your degree. Is there an option to add 3 Chili peppers?
Best teacher ever. highly recommend
I wish I could tag more for her, she's amazing. She's so passionate both about the field and about teaching, and she seems to do it effortlessly. She gives you every chance to succeed and her lectures are incredibly informative. Tests are relatively easy if you pay attention in class and write down the lecture notes. I hope to take her again.
Kim Molinaro is the best Professor ever. She really cares about her students and goes above and beyond to help you. She never gets tired of explaining things over and over again. Great personality also. I wish I could have only her as my Professor for all my classes.
By far the best professor I have had thus far. There were days where her classes were my motivation to get out of bed. Professor Molinaro is very kind and clearly tries to make every student pass with a high grade. Definitely go to her group studies!
One of the best professors I've ever had. In fact it was so great that I want to pursue a degree in psychology
Professor Molinaro is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She truly cares about her students, and is really enthusiastic when she teaches. It is vital you go to class though, and attend as many study groups as you can!
Amazing.
I enjoyed taking this online class, she gives great positive feedback that keeps you motivated to keep doing your best. She also gives additional insight and explains in depth topics that may be difficult to understand. Do all the required work and it's an easy A.
This is my second time taking this professor. Professor Kim Molinaro is an inspirational speaker who is hilarious and makes things easy to understand. Her class teaching style conforms to how well the class performs. My specific classes were discussion style where the floor was open for anyone to talk. Best professor I've had.
Best class ever! Lectures are hilarious, clearly explained and entertaining, showing up to class was never an issue and I looked foward to it. She gives lots of extra credit and many chances to get work done so you are not behind. Make sure to take good notes and ask questions and you are good to go! 2 exams online and 1 in person, final in person
Best teacher ever!!!! She is truly amazing, definitely need more people (teachers) like her in this field.
She is the best Professor ever
She is a nice teacher but can actually be very impatient and condescending when talking to. There were several times where I felt like she did not like me just for asking questions despite the fact that I was engaged in class. Overall a good teacher.
I absolutely adore Professor Molinaro! She's an amazing lecturer, and encourages students to participate. She's sweet, funny and very fun to learn from. My class with her is the best class I've ever taken. I strongly recommend her. As long as you pay attention, take good notes, and do your best you'll get an A easily.
She is the most incredible human and really cares for her students she will set up so many "Safety nets" so you wont fail even if you're poor at tests. she gives extra credit and her lectures are never dull. I suggest her for every class you need to take. you will NOT be upset if you enroll in her class.
Great professor!
LOVED prof. Molinaro! You can tell she really cares about all of her students. Her lectures are interesting, and the coursework isn't hard. She's so sweet and has a wonderful personality. Her class was one of my favorites.
Good teacher hard subject. She helped me on my paper to the point where it was perfect. She has a strict side to her so do not aggravate her on her off days. Plenty of opportunities to earn extra credit. Two ways is turning in your essays early and perfect attendance. Gives you options for essay; community service is easier to do. Grade is TBD.
I've been in her Public Defender Milleu Therapy Internship for nearly my entire academic career. This professor cares, and has always been there for her students, and will move mountains to make sure you're learning while having fun and being safe. One of, if not the the best professors I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Such an interesting class. I originally thought I was gonna fail, but professor Molinaro made sure I passed. She gives extra credit for turning in your essays (two parts) early and a perfect attendance bonus for 1 or fewer. Though the class was challenging, I was able to pass and have fun in the process. Hope to take her again one day.
This was THE BEST class I have taken for my pre-req's. Ms. Molinaro genuinely CARES for her students and their success. Don't get me wrong this is not a 'cake walk' course. You will work for it, however, she makes it easy. The lectures are memorable. Read the book and follow her along (she keeps you on track) and you'll do very well!
Professor Molinaro is an amazing and passionate teacher! She is very flexible and helpful when it comes to class work. The assignments are interesting and you can tell she loves what she does. I would absolutely take her again! Love love love her!
Great teacher, but she has a tone I do not like after class. Everything is pretty straight forward. Her tests are hard so study for them; final is 100 questions so study extra hard for that. The term paper is easy and she offers extra credit if you turn it in on or before the deadline for it. Easy class so you can get at least B, push for an A.
Professor Molinaro is AMAZING! She seems very passionate about what she teaches. At the half way and final mark she gives you an opportunity to turn in late or missed work. She gives great feedback and teaches using multiple teaching styles and has a Ted Talk video that applies to EVERY chapter. I wish she could teach all my courses.
Read the required textbook chapters, participate in discussions, and it's hard to fail. Late work accepted, with deductions. Lots of great feedback and comments on your assignments. Mid-term and final exam were open book/open note. Replies promptly to emails, questions, and concerns.
I recommend her for the online psych class
I enjoyed this class !! Quizzes and exams were open book but it helps to read the chapters. Professor answers emails quickly and gives good feedback on your work. I would take her class again.
I took professor Molinaro my freshman year, first semester. Her lectures are informative and fun, but you better take notes. She had one big paper, split into two parts, but it was fun!
Very friendly, upbeat professor. I highly recommend taking her class. Make sure you take notes on what she says as well as what she writes down on the board.
I heard pretty great things about Molinaro and decided to taker her for psychology and turned out to be fun. She is caring and want everyone to succeed. Her paper is split into two parts and is easy to follow, you can either do community service or pysch investigation. She also does extra credit which helped when I dropped my A to a B. Best ever!
Excellent teacher, definitely enjoys teaching her class. Her lectures are definitely more for audio learners as her notes are a spiderweb and hard to follow, but if you pay even the smallest amount of attention you will pass. Very little homework. Just take this class. You will enjoy it.
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. I have taken every class I possibly could with Molinaro. She is one of the most kind, caring, patient souls I have ever met. She genuinely loves teaching and wants you to succeed. She is so passionate about her field, and she goes above and beyond to help reinforce the content. I wish I could take her classes over & over!
Amazing. This class is one of the best classes I have every taken. She is a great professor, no matter who you are you will love this class. Lost of information but its so interesting you will not even realize it. Molinaro is one of the best professors I have met in my life.
Excellent teacher. She gives good feedback along with grades. She really cares about the success of the student. Weekly assignments are very informative and interesting. She also keeps students updated with weekly video notes that I enjoy because 1. She thoroughly explains what is expected and 2. She is so pleasing to the eyes.
I just wish I had taken her class in person, because from her correspondences online she seems like a wonderful person. Very caring, very concerned about the success of her students. The class was not too difficult by any means and she gives really thorough feedback to written submissions.
She is my favorite. She is kind, loving and cares about her students and their success.
3rd time taking Professor Molinaro. She is a gem! If you get the chance to take her, you should. You won't regret it.
She wrote us a text book so we didnt have to spend our money on one! Shes amazing and I already love her class and how she teaches 3 weeks in! I would definitely take her class again for anything else she teaches!
Intro to abnormal psych is my favorite college class so far. I learned a lot and she teaches in line with the current DSM-5. She puts you in groups the first week of class and you will work with your group throughout the semester, and there is big paper at the end. She will always answer any questions and her class is very informative!!
modules are easy and writing assignments are easy as well
She is amazing! The fact that she made a book online so we wouldn't have to pay for one is awesome. The class is easy and interesting. She gives great feedback on every assignment, she grades quickly and emails back fast. I want her for every class!
Great teacher. Very enthusiastic about the subjects. Take great notes and you'll pass.
Several group projects, but it's spread out over the semester. I took this class just to take her again. She teaches Psych so well anyone can understand it, and she is very understanding when it comes to personal situations. As long as you are trying in the course and reach out to her when needed, an easy A.
Molinaro gives the best lectures. She's very interesting and gives amazing and funny examples. She's very persistent, so whenever you're stuck on something just ask her to go over it again and she'll do so until you get the topic. She cares about your success and is lenient with the assignments. Highly recommend taking her for your Psychology class
This professor is really passion to teach about psychology. Her assignments and quizzes aren't difficult! I recommend to take this professor. She makes psychology interesting to learn.
Shes amazing
I can not even begin to describe how wonderful of a not only teacher, but person Mrs Molinaro is. I wish she was my teacher for every subject. I am so sad her class ended. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!
Don't hesitate to take this professor. I took her class online. She provides good feedback and is there to help if needed. She really wants to see you succeed. She even wrote the book to save you money. Course was was pretty cut & dry every week. A few quizzes, a test, & a writing discussion each week. Dedicate 2-3 hours a week and you will be fine
Abnormal psych saved my GPA. 10/10 recommend.
Molinero taught with such passion that class was never boring. She even made her own textbook for the students to use so that we don't have to buy our own. She makes sure you know and understand what will be asked on the exams, and prepares students well.
Love her
She is one of the kindest, nicest, most fair, and down to earth professors on campus. She will go to the ends of the earth to help you if you are struggling and help you work through things to be successful.
Best online class ever take! No textbook required, she provides short and easy readings for each lesson. Every test and quiz is "open book" and matches up identically to the readings. She's a quick and easy grader and provides helpful feedback. Her class was certainly my easy and stress free class of the semester. Easy A!
This class was pretty easy. As long as you participate and follow directions, you should complete this course with an A. Not having to purchase a book was a huge plus. I would definitely take her class again.
Prof Molinaro is a must. I took her for intro as well. If theres any psych class u have to take, take it with Molinaro. She is an amazing person. Its not an easy A, you have to do work. Papers, tests, group projects, etc. its all mandatory to pass the class. I think its impossible to fail w her. Shes very knowledgeable abt psych. Great person!
Best Professor I've had. Anything you're stuck on she'll help you understand or it's in the textbook she wrote. Passionate about the subject. No way you can fail this class if you pay attention and try. Interesting and memorable lectures, online tests, one big painless paper. One of the most helpful teachers ever. Need more teachers like her.
She is the best! Very nice and cares about her students.
Such an amazing professor! I would recommend anyone to take this class. Took her class online and as long as you read the chapters, you will pass this class no problem. No midterm or final. If you have any problems, all you have to do is messages the professor and she will work with you. Amazing!
Not much effort required. No exams.
She is such an amazing teacher i took her general psych class this past spring and i just registered for her abnormal psych class this fall. i am so excited to be taking another class with Dr. Molinaro. she really cares about all her students and answers every single question. One major paper, a few tests as long as you pay attention you will pass.
She is the kindest teacher I've had since starting my college experience. She is lecture heavy but if you don't understand something then she'll go over it with you after class. There are a few extra credit opportunities. And if you need her to go over any information slower, she will.
wonderful person beyond a great teacher
She was an amazing teacher and was very thoughtful and helpful! She cared for all her students and she loves what she does! I would take her again in a heart beat. I am actually wanting to find another psych class just to take her as an elective. She does give you work, but it is very interesting and she explains everything thoroughly.
She is the reason why Im going into psychology!!
Such a great teacher. She's super nice and funny! Makes the class interesting. You can tell she is very passionate in what she teaches and cares for her students to learn. Very helpful and does things step by step, if you're not getting something she is there for you. Only thing is: do not procrastinate doing her psychological investigation paper!
I cant say anything but great things about Ms Molinaro. She is extremely knowledgeable and explains Psychology concepts with such ease and understanding. Her lectures were so clear and she spoke with such an uplifting voice. I absolutely loved her class. Shes an amazing person with so much experience. I respect her so much and everything she does
Professor Molinaro is the best one I have ever had. She is absolutely amazing and I really loved her class. It was so enjoyable I even debated changing my major to Psychology. There is a lot of reading, but you have plenty of time to get it done and the material is interesting. TAKE HER CLASS!
Great teacher 10/10
She really was great, weekly she assigns 3-4 readings(each with a quiz),a test, and either a Discussion or WrittenAssignment. No textbook purchase is necessary and as long as you do the assigned short readings, the class is incredibly easy. She also allows you to make up assignments without penalty as long as you email her. She is kind&caring 10/10
Not only did I learn an incredible amount, but I had an amazing time. She was super sweet and always available to help. The work can be difficult, but she will definitely work with you to ensure you get an A if you put in the effort
I absolutely loved professor Molinaro. She is super caring and understanding. I submitted a few assignments late due to personal reasons and she never took points off for any late work. As long as you take notes/study and participate you will get an A. Highly recommend.
Professor Molinaro is my favorite professor. She is always happy to give you feedback and answer questions. The exams are not too bad, they are all open book minus the final exam. Only one big paper which is split up over the course of the semester. As long as you take notes and pay attention you will pass her class. She is an amazing Professor.
She genuinely wants her students to succeed! She cares about her teaching method in order to help her students retain information and do well. She is funny, personable and makes her lectures interesting. The class flies by! Ive attended Penn State University and she is THE BEST professor I have had so far!
She is literally the most amazing person on campus. So kind and caring about her students and she makes psychology so fun to learn. Everyone at spc worships the ground she walks on for a reason. SHE IS LITERALLY AMAZING but as sweet and down to earth as can be. Her class was the highlight of my college experience.
Ms. Molinaro is amazing!! There is a lot of work to do, 3-4 quizzes a week including a discussion or writing assignment. They are all super easy to do, plus it's helpful for learning. She gives awesome feedback on all assignments. Always responding to emails super fast and is willing to give students extra time to do assignments when needed.
Prof Molinaro was amazing! She truly cares about your success, responds to emails fast and gives you more time on assignments if needed. There is one discussion, a few quizzes and a test each week, so if you do the work it is an easy A class. My only advice is to not to fall behind, and it'll be a super easy course.
Mrs. Molinaro is truly a wonderful professor. She really cared for me and helped me accomplish a lot of work I thought I would fail at. Everyone should take her class, she is a joy of a teacher.
Literally THE best professor I've ever met. SPC is SO fortunate to have Professor Molinaro. I would recommend her to anyone. She is not only incredible at what she does as an instructor, but her classes are fully accessible to the Deaf community. It is difficult to find an instructor that is completely Deaf-friendly.
The best. I will all my teachers will be like her.
I cannot vouch enough for Prof. Molinaro. She is not only passionate about the material but also about her students and provides opportunity after opportunity to help them succeed. She is responsive, utilizes several different mediums to convey the material and is open and receptive to student input. If you need to take this class, she's the one!
A literal angel. She is literally the most amazing professor Ive ever had. No wonder people worship the ground she runs on
I Absolutely love Professor Molinaro. She truly cares about all of her students and passionate about teaching. She understands difficulties and is willing to work with you! Her lectures are wonderful and she has such great personality. She is also willing to spend extra time with us explaining everything when the class is asking questions.
Professor Molinaro was the most caring prof I have ever had. She is the sweetest soul, and actually cares about helping the students learn the content rather than getting an A. There are three exams throughout the semester which are open note and open book. The biggest assignment in the class is the research paper, but you work on it all semester.
Prof Molinaro is a great professor. She truly cares about her students and is willing to help whenever needed. She is very understanding and responds to emails in timely fashion. Molinaro gives plenty of insight on the assignments due that way you receive full credit. She is flexible with her turn in process. Prof. Molinaro truly one of the best.
I am really glad that I listened here and took her class! Such an easy A!
I definitely loved Professor Molinaro. she is an amazing professor I love how involved she is with all her students. She always comes in early and asks if there are any questions. she does mind helping all her students. she is very organized and everything in her class is planned out. she reminds you when due dates are coming up.
Very caring and lots of feedback! She's a great professor! If you have the chance select professor Molinaro.
My favorite teacher I have ever had!!! She grades clearly and she always gives good advice! She really does care about her students and I recommend everyone takes her!
Kim Molinaro is an amazing professor and amazing human being. I would 1000% take her class again
Hands down the best professor I have ever taken. Such an understanding Professor, can tell her passion for the course through her YT video lectures (which are there to help you learn in addition to the textbook material,she provides the textbook to you as well.) Workload a decent amount due every week, no midterm or final exam. Thank you professor!
Incredibly impressive and anything but boring. She is very down-to-earth and extremely passionate about what she teaches. This professor provides multiple tools and resources for learning the course material in a way that best suits your learning style and is constantly asking for feedback to make sure the learning is as comprehensive as possible.
Professor Kim Molinaro is AMAZING and extremely IMPRESSIVE. If you have the opportunity to take a course with her, DO NOT pass it up. Not only did Kim go above and beyond in her teaching and lectures, but she also had a hand in writing the ebook included in this course. I am a psychology major and plan to take every possible course I can with her!
Molinaro's passion to teaching psychology, and her genuine care for the human mind and spirt allows her to be one of the best professors there are. She is kind, passionate, and gentle, always has great in depth lectures. She is one of the most beautiful humans I have met, even through a zoom call, her soul is deep. She embody's true kindness.
Professor Molinaro is very sweet! Her class is super easy, and EVERYBODY should get an A! Every week you have online readings with quizzes (unlimited attempts),1 Test (1 attempt), and a discussion post which involves a lot of writing. Sometimes you have to do APA or MLA citation. There's no final or midterm to take. TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU WANT AN A!
To the comment below this one, I didn't mean to put a 5.0 level of difficulty! The class is very easy! TAKE HER CLASS!
Took her for PSY2012. Really great lectures. Lot of freedom to read about what you want for assignments. If you put the time into the assignments, it's an easy class. Gives very good feedback on all assignments.
Professor Molinaro's PSY1012 class is a breeze! The assignments are easy, and unstuckstudy AI makes studying a breeze. Engaging lectures and a caring professor make this an A-worthy course.
This professor changed my entire college career. I enjoyed being a student in the class as it was fascinating and engaging, and Professor Molinaro was such an encouraging and nurturing professor. She has inspired me to much to pursue a degree in psychology. I highly recommend taking her course! She cares about your experience and wants to help!
Prof. Molinaro is a wonderful instructor. She is empathetic, responsive, and great at breaking down material in her lectures. She provides examples and analogies which helps students to synthesize course material. She offers course content in multiple formats. She is kind, understanding, and positive.
Professor Molinaro is fantastic! She's extremely helpful, always caring, and provides detailed, constructive feedback that helps students grow. While the workload is significant, it's absolutely worth it for the learning experience. Her kindness and dedication create a supportive environment where students feel valued and appreciated.
the sweetest most amazing teacher ever. very interactive with the class and has very in depth lectures. very kind and high spirited.
I love, love, loveddd this professor! She was really easy going and let you submit late work for -5 points. If you fail this class then you just didn't submit anything. It's that easy. Everything was open book and nothing proctored. No midterm or final exams. Easy A!!
Dr. Kim Molinaro is one of the best professors I've ever had—enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate. She cares deeply for her students, creates an engaging class, encourages participation, and is patient and kind. I'm grateful for the chance to be her student—she's simply terrific.
