“What I do not appreciate about this professor is her lack of clarity when it comes to assignments, she will grade you a 0 if you turn in something that you worked on to the best of your knowledge with the little information provided by her”

she was an amazing teacher. i had more fun in her class then i did in any other class that i have taken at com. she stories are very fun and she is easy going. her tests are directly made from her class notes.
The best teacher ever! She was very honest, very fair, and completely real!
Love the class, so much fun and she is so smart
Ms. Ennis is one of the best teachers I have had during my time at COM. She is very honest and completely real. I want to go back and take the 2nd PSYC class before I graduate just to take her again. Take notes and study and you will do great!
I really enjoy this professor.
Fabulouso
Ms. Ennis made everyone in class feel like they were family. She has a passion for psychology, which made it even more interesting. She's also hilarious, so that helps too. Her tests should be easy if you pay attention in class. I highly recommend anyone who needs a psychology course to take Ms. Ennis' class!
Absolutely love her! Very interesting and always made the class laugh. She has great stories that help you relate the information to what you are learning. Taking her for 2301 and 2314 too
Really has a passion for teaching. Makes the class interesting and cares about her students. Never a dull moment. Explains things so everyone can understand it. Exams are easy if you take notes. Projects are fun. Highly recommend her. Also took her for PSYC 1300 and loved that class too
Extremely funny and laid back. Gives lots of personal examples while lecturing. Tests are straight from the powerpoint. Fun projects. I am taking her any chance I get and I even changed my major to psychology after taking her classes!!
I have taken Ms. E in three different classes and she is absolutely my favorite, her lectures are very detailed and she knows her material. Gives plenty of extra credit don't be lazy actually do it. Study the material on the review and you should be good. Attendance is mandatory or you will lose points.
Ennis really is funny and knows her pysc! She gives a crap load of extra credit. Tests can be tricky, but this class is an EASY A! She is respected and loved by even students who don't take her classes.
Ennis' lectures are full of real world stories and personal experiences to support the course material. She truly cares about what she does, and says so frequently. She can be quite goofy, once sending every student a picture of her pet cat at 3am to prove to us she wasn't exaggerating about how fat/fluffy he is.
Great professor, easy to talk to and gives you multiple chances for extra credit. She is really down to eath as well.
Very hilarious. Easy A as long as you complete your work and do all the extra credit offered.
I took Miss E (now known as miss Maldonado since she got married) for both general psychology and for lifespan. I took both of these courses by themselves for summer 1 and summer 2. I got an A for both of these courses. Sit in the front of her class if you can, participate in conversation. Take the quizzes that are online IN GROUPS. easy A
I dont regret taking the class, but I would not take it again.. Professor isnt rude but not considerate to other classes, activities, hospital visits/stays, or etc.
Best teacher at COM by far. She tells great stories that relate to the class material. She is the reason that I stayed in school, very easy to talk to. I also took her for PSYS 1300 and PSYC 2307, Human Sexuality was the best. Very laid back and asking questions in class was so comfortable.
All i have to say is I love her! She was always telling us a story to relate to what we are learning and can honestly say it makes it 10x easier to understand! She gives plenty of extra credit! Any questions you have will all be in the syllabus. She is strict on deadlines. So if it says 11:59pm make sure its turn in about 2 your ahead!
Professor Maldonado was a great prof, very funny and can keep your attention from 8am-11am in a mini may-mester! Lots of extra credit, grades fairly, easy work. The only downfall for the class is that if you are planning on transferring to a university like I did, it doesn't transfer. I attend Texas A&M and they won't accept that class for anything
This professor is rude and disrespectful. She does not care if you have to miss class for family emergencies or anything in that field. She will deduct points and will not excuse an absence. She made countless remarks that made students feel belittled. This class is a waste of time and honestly, just take it online.
Best professor at COM. Makes learning the material so easy and does everything she can to make sure you pass. You will get whatever grade you earn, so just show up and do your work and you will make an A! Some people dont like the attendance policy, but she gives a butt load of extra credit in case you have to miss class.
Professor M was an awesome professor. She made it fun and relatable to real life. Her stories were great. The class work is easy if you listen to her lecture and review the chapters. Your final project is due mid semester. Easy grade as well, along you follow instructions and ask questions if you are unsure.
She is very laid back and down to earth. She will help you anyway she can, but she expects you to do the work. You will get exactly what you earn, but it's pretty hard to make less than an A if you just follow the syllabus. Super cool, so dont go in to class being a stick in the mud.
I came to rate the best professor at COM and seriously cant believe she has negative remarks. She is super cool. She gives enough extra credit so that if you miss attendance points you can still easily make an A. She really loves her students and teaching. Always at her office ready to help. Got me wanting to change my major!!
By far the best teacher I have ever had. Tells stories so that you understand whats in the textbook. Very nice and likes to laugh. She loves her job and you tell she loves all things related to psychology. Took her for another class and she is the same in all of her classes.
Just finished a great 5 week summer class. Will be taking her again for the second summer session. We had great class discussions, never a boring class and I really looked forward to going to class everyday.
I wish I had taken her when I first started college. Very motivating and encourages you to find your passion in life. She clearly has found hers. I loved going to class to hear all her funny stories. She is always smiling and you can tell she loves to talk about pscyhology
Not very helpful or understanding with students
Maldonado will deduct points from low priority, unnecessary assignments and theres a lot of them. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, she did not respond in a timely manner to mine or my peers emails and did not give clear instructions on her major assignments. I have made As and Bs in my academics studies this semester while making a C in Psyc1300.
During the quarantine Mrs. M was very responsive when all my other teachers just ignored me. She had weekly zoom meetings and answered my texts and emails. She made the transition smooth and easy. Some of my classmates were complaining but they did not even attend the virtual chat sessions. She explained everything over and over again
Mrs.M is super cool and will do anything to help you pass but you have to do your work. Always available, like even at 11:00pm LOL! Dont be a lazy students who complains about everything and you will love her classes. She like wants you to make an A, but wants you to earn it so you proud
You will learn so much in her class. I have taken her for 3 other classes and loved them all. She knows her stuff and teaches in a way that everyone can understand. Funny too, which makes class so much more interesting
Taking her online now and best experience. Answers all my questions and has done these live lectures whenever we ask her to. I did not want to take an online class but cuz of Covid I had to if I wanted to graduate on time. Ms. Maldanado has made the onine class enjoyable and fun. I wish I could take her in person
wanted to take this class in person but since the pandemic I had to take it online. I had her in the past for a different class and I really enjoy her teaching style. She wants you to do great and will help you. Her powerpoints help with the quizzes and I didnt even use my book. She gave us an online lecture whenever we asked for the harder chapte
We just finished the summer semester and it was a great experience. Classes were all online because of COVID but teacher was always available and helpful. Taking her again for the next session
most responsive teacher I have ever had. homework is not hard at all and really helped me, just a lot due in short time because its a summer class. If you make a bad grade in her class then you just didnt do anything
Enjoyed the class alot and would take her again. Super cool
GREAT!
Follow the syllabus and you will pass. everything is laid out for you, just follow it and you will be ok. Quizzes follow her powerpoints, She was super responsive too which helped
i like this teacher because she tells you exactly how to make a A. she lays it out and sticks to everything she said. dont get mad when she wont take your late work because she tells you on the first day she wont take it. dont get mad if you didnt read the directions because she has them step by step. always available and willing to do a zoom
Read your syllabus and follow directions and I guarantee you will make an A. I didnt read everything until about 3 weeks into the semester and thats when i realized i wasnt doing the postings right. you will learn so much and its a fun class
Everything you want in a college teacher. The only people who complain are the ones who want special treatment and she aint about that. Just follow the syllabus, do your work and its a super easy A
One of the rudest professors i've ever had. failed me for my views and opinions on discussion posts. did not include that you can't reply to someone you may know in the syllabus and failed me on a discussion post for it. When emailing her she is extremely rude when asking simple questions and made me feel like an idiot. however i still passed.
loved the class. you know what she expects from the first day of classes. i learned so much and enjoyed all the videos she has. she gives good feedback. emails and grades very fast. laid back and cool but expects you to do your best
no surprises which I loved. Just follow the syllabus and her directions and you will make an A. She doesnt want lazy students with excuses, this is college not HS. She is super cool and easy to talk to. I learned a lot and this was my favorite class at COM
Best at COM. relatable. explains everything. has funny stories that relate to what you are learning
I am taking her now for the 3 week classes. Everything is so organized. She grades immediately and answers emails quickly. She tells you EXACTLY what she expects, so there is no guessing. Gives a crap ton of extra credit that relates to what you are learning. Very nice and funny. I want to take her in the long semester for my other classes
Took a 3 week class with her and I wish the class was longer. Learned alot and had fun. Graded immediately. I had no problems at all and hope to take her for another class when the college is fully open
Loved this class. She is very sweet and funny, really helped me out and wanted to make sure I made my A for nursing school. I would like to take her for every class if I could
The best at COM, you will love her!
great class, loved it
Follow the syllabus and it will be the easiest class you will ever take. She lets you know how to make a better grade on work
She is my dual credit professor and I just love her so much. Nothing like my high school teachers.
Taking Mrs Maldonado aka Ms.E now and this is my favorite college class I have ever taken. She has a way of explaining things that makes things so easy to understand. Her stories are so funny that I didnt want the class to end. Just follow the syllabus and you will be guaranteed an A. She wont take late work and tells you exactly what you need
Took Lifespan online and loved the class. Very straight forward. You know exactly what she is looking for. Cool and laid back.
greatest professor i ever had
Best professor I have ever had, very caring and helpful. I really enjoyed her class.
was ok. failed to mention that 90% of the material on unit quizzes came from the required book (told class not to get it). she does not under any circumstances accept late work and provides two chances for extra credit. unit quizzes every week with 4 discussion posts spread through the semester. somewhat lenient with attendance but could drop you
By far one of my favorite professors. We had weekly chapter quizzes, 4 discussion posts, and 1 project throughout the course. Missing a discussion post or the opinion paper is an automatic letter grade since they're both worth 100 points each. You can complete her entire course early but will still be expected to attend class.
What I do not appreciate about this professor is her lack of clarity when it comes to assignments, she will grade you a 0 if you turn in something that you worked on to the best of your knowledge with the little information provided by her. It was an online course and I had to take time out of work to do in person activities on some assignments.
Many quizzes and she is very picky with how she grades discussion posts and other assignments. Pretty fast paced yet pretty easy class.
Her in-person classes are great: She simply just lectures you via PowerPoint, and occasionally shows you a video. If you miss a discussion post, you pretty much get knocked down a letter grade. Her online classes are somewhat vague and feel shoddier. Highly recommend you take in-person classes for her. Online is barely passable.
This class, and professor was really good she gave good directions if I had any questions she responded fast with a email. Do the discussion posts and answer back in the posts and do the quizzes and you pass the class. The one project that you do was very easy and straight forward. You do need your book which was free online.
This Professor is the best. Every time I come to class, we have an amazing time! she's very uplifting and very life related when it comes to lectures, we (classmates) get a better understanding through some events that's happened in her life. she is a very easy professor and I suggest you take her for your psychology course, you won't regret!
She's so nice! One time I brought Starbucks to class, and I only took a few sips when it accidentally got knocked to the floor. I was upset, as I cleaned it up off the floor. She asked me how much it was. I told her and guess what, She gave me a Starbucks gift card to get a new drink! She didn't have to but she did. It really made my day!
she literally dropped me out of her class......... and I didn't do anything.
Nice teacher would take again :)
Very politically biased and not open to other viewpoints in her classroom. Very open about her biases against the LGBT. If shes not talking about her personal politics shes talking about her personal life. Learned more about her personal politics and problems with America than lifespan growth and development. Extremely biased. Rarely stays on topic
Very kind and funny lady. Use quizlet for her exams for answers and youll do fine. If you depend on the chapters youll do alright. She offers so much extra credit, and as long as you get your stuff sone she doesnt care if you go to class of not.
Overall, the class is easy. There is nothing much to do on her part other than making sure assignments are up on time and are graded in a timely manner. Only thing to really worry about with this professor is making sure you have proof of EVERYTHING as she tends to forget things, and changes things at the ending of the semester.
Anyone who complains about this course or professor is clearly not doing their work and think this is a high school class instead of college. She gives you everything you need to pass, you just have to do the work and do it on time. Very helpful, learned alot, enjoyed the class and cool assignments
Took the 8 week class. As long as you do the work, you will make an easy A. You don't need to buy the textbook for the class. Follow ALL instructions on assignments or you will get a low grade on it. 4-5 assignments each week. For all discussions you have to reply to another classmate.
Mrs. Maldonado was hands down the most cooperative and honest professor I have had in my college career. She was easy to find when it came to arranging her meetings and also has great insight on different careers that one can take!
I've taken a 5week, 8week and 2week with her and passed all 3. If you want to pass, make sure you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. If you leave out 1 small thing from discussions she will take off points. If you do everything that is required you will make an easy “A” in her classes.
The work load is unreasonable if you're taking other classes and trying to support yourself. She assigns you a chapter a day and then gives a timed test over material you just covered. Daily discussions have a minimum word count and she grades very hard. Unless you are only going to take this class by itself, I do not recommend this professor.
This class was okay. She grades pretty hard and is very direct, so make sure to read all directions carefully. You get what you put in! Her feedback is helpful and the assigned readings really make you reflect on yourself and other professors. I recommend her if you're hardworking and detailed.
Very interactive class with a lot of great stories that helps you understand the material. I have taken her onlilne 1300 and in person 2301. I prefer in person because I like the interaction. Professor Maldonado is very layed back and easy to work with, but she doesnt take late work. Fun projects too. Would recommend her for any pschology class
Chapters and quizzes are assigned every other day for the entire course. She is very picky with grading even when I followed instructions and was not helpful when I ran into a situation while taking a quiz that was completely out of my control. Her way of teaching is not very flexible for students who work while taking other courses as well.
She gives out a lot of assignment, and expect us to complete it in 2-3 days. Not very friendly when she's grading the assignment. Her feedbacks doesn't even help, she just bash on everything like she got beef with me. I wouldn't recommend if you're taking another class with her class.
Great lectures in class, she tells you exactly what you need to know to make an A, does not take late work but also does not only release 1 week at at time like most professors do. Follow directions and you couldnt fail if you tried its that easy. fun projects that I really liked to do
Amazing teacher I would totally recommend. She gives a clear schedule for due dates for assignments and quizzes. If you pay attention to directions and pay attention in class you shouldn't fail. Attendance is taken and you are given points for it at the end of the semester. She tells very funny stories that tie into the topics talked about.
Do you know that line in Mean Girls when Regina writes those awful things about herself in the Burn Book? Well, what she said throughout that scene about herself is how I feel about this teacher. This was a Hybrid Class.
Enjoyed the class but all the whiny collegiate kids who refuse to take responsibility was very annoying. Like do your work this is college. if you want to be a baby stay in high school. It was crazy how these kids think they just show up whenever they want to and think they should get a A
