She's an awesome teacher and is very funny. She makes the class fun. Learn a lot but not too many notes. Grading is pretty easy. Awesome system set up because she's an awesome teacher.

Great teacher. Tests can get a little picky - you really need to memorize everything! But she does EVERTHING on powerpoint and you can usually get it before class so don't break your wrist keeping up with notes.

very good teacher! I actually remember what we talked about in class. tests are a little rough, but a good class

Class is interesting and you actually remember what she's talking about. Grades papers SUPER easy and tests are really easy too if you listen in class and study a little :) One of the best professors on this campus! TAKE HER CLASSES :)

If you study powerpoints tests are a breeze. Relates everything to her kids so class is never dull. Her random hilarious comments make it worthwhile to always pay attention in class. My favorite teacher yet!

Easiest class I've ever taken, but it was kinda fun... she has one messed up life though!

Great lecturer, makes lectures moderately interesting because she explains and gives exmaples to concepts. Tests are largely straightforward and from the notes, not the book. Easy grader, too.

Very personable prof. Tests are straight from class notes, you don't even have to pick up the book. Easy grader. Just show up to class every day and you'll do just fine.

She talks about her kids too much, and just isn't that informational. Even though personal illustrations can be effective, it's more like having coffee with your mom's friend than a class.

i don't care what people say...the talking about her kids and family is NOT that bad. the stories are cute. plus it helps you to relate the material a lot better.

I liked her. And yes, for some the examples from her real life may be annoying, but why they annoy people I have no idea. Just I imagine she says "Joe Blow's mother/fatherdaughter/son/haster" whenever she brings up her family. Eh?

I got a little sick of hearing about how she had the perfect childhood and adolescence. . .but the class is pretty interesting and easy to follow.

just think about it this way...instead of so many stories, she could be giving an in-class quiz every day. just be greatful that she wastes time talking about her family. plus most of the stories are funny or cute

Caya is probably one of the most understanding professors ever. Psy 311- Easy Tests-50 points 1/2 easy multiple choice and rest short answer. Very easy/interesting group project. A few reflection (your opinion) papers--easy points. Do not get me wrong-you will learn a lot.

Love her. Interesting teacher, cute stories, reasonable assignments, and great energy. Exams for 311 could be a bit tricky, but she is pretty clear as to what is on them. I would love to take another class with her again.

She tells a lot of personal stories to help relate the material so you can remember it easier. The stories are very entertaining. She has a lot of options to get your grade higher in class assignments (easy) papers (only 1 for semester) tests (make sure to study and they're easy) and options for ec (just filling out surveys) TAKE HER you learn a lo

Summer semester was pretty easy. Easy in class assignments, participation points and MC exams. She uses herself and her family as examples. She expects you to do a whole lot of reading but it was impossible to keep up with and I just studied my notes for exams. Great summer course.

She's a really fun teacher who's into what she's talking about. The tests are a breeze. You will get an A and you don't really have to study much. I highly suggest her.

I think I went into this class with the wrong idea that it would be an easy A. Tests are a little too specific, but other assignments are easy. Her syllabus is very clear, which helps; her lectures are very thorough, too.

Very good teacher. If you go to class and take notes, you just have to read the notes to get an A on the tests.

Awesome class and awesome teacher! Really good at using good examples that we can relate to. Tells lots of cute stories about her life and her kids.

Awesome Prof! Very nice, very understanding and helpful. Would definitely take another class with her!!!

Great teacher. As long as you take good notes the tests are a breeze, TAKE CAYA.

She is a great prof. She has a fun personality and I really enjoyed her class. She made psychology fun and interesting.The tests come from straight the notes in class so just make sure to listen and write everything that she writes. Its a fairly easy class.

Caya was AMAZING!! I loved going to her class! She made Psychology really fun and interesting and has a lot of really funny stories about herself and her kids to help you understand the material. Tests come right from the notes and are easy if you go to class. I loved this class so much I changed to a Psych major! Take her if you can!!

Great prof and great class!! Lectures were clear and easy to follow with stories about her family along with the notes. Tests were kinda tricky but if you study they are not bad. She is very available for help outside of class and very approachable. It is obvious that she wants you to succeed! Will DEFINATELY be taking more classes with her!!

Wonderful professor! She has great enthusiasm for the subject, which made ME more enthusiastic for my future career. Provides good stories that are relavent to the discussion. Tests are a little tricky, but it's not hard to get atleast an A/B overall.

Caya is a wonderful professor. She is extremely knowledgable in the subject she is teaching. She always has good stories that are relevant to the subject matter. The test are all multiple choice, but can get tricky if you don't study for them. I would definitely recommend her for PSY 212.

Great class...learned a lot! Great prof! Told stories about family which helped me to relate to the material. Exams are kinda picky, but if you study the notes, you'll be fine. Also, some short assignments that are easy. Prof is very helpful and wants you to do well and is very accommodating for students' needs. TAKE CAYA :)

Lisa is an extremely clear teacher and her teaching style was helpful for me. She posts slides on D2L and makes sure you don't read useless information out of the book. Her tests are easy if you know the material which if you attend calss you will. Bonus is she is hot.

Great professor! Made lectures interesting with her own personal examples. Doesn't go over tests but it doesn't really matter since the final is cumulative. Overall, easy professor. Definitly take her!!

TAKE HER! i loved going to her class. she posts everything on d2l. to study i just read though my notes twice and always got an A.her grading is super easy too. class is always interesting and her examples, although they are personal to her, really make you remember the concepts. take her if you can, you wont be disappointed. its an easy A.

I love her! Definitely my favorite professor here at UWL. It's a pretty easy class, there's not much busy work so exams and like four assignments are the only grades you have. The tests are easy. She gives clear cut examples in class and uses a different variation of them on the test. Not hard at all. Take her!!!

She's a good teacher, explains things very well and makes them relatable. Doesn't email back for some reason...but other than that really good teacher

I really liked Caya. Her lectures were super interesting because she told so many stories that related to the subject material. I learned a lot of useful information that I know I can apply later in my life. There's about 4 tests, and some papers. Just do an honest effort and study thoroughly for exams and you should be able to get an A

Caya was the best professor I have had so far! She brings in her real life examples to make class much more relevant. I would definitely recommend her!

Love her!! She switches up lecture techniques so its not the same boring thing every day. She also uses a lot of personal examples so you actually understand the terms. I actually feel like I am learning a lot in this class. Just go to class, take notes, and study for the tests and you'll be fine. Also, she offers a lot of extra credit!

Lisa is probably one of the nicest professors out there. Very relateable and goes out of her way to help her students out--especially advising. Just study a bit. She is so hilarious! Laid back and so down to earth.

She lays the class out nice and simple for you to understand. Random in class assignments where you get the points if you're there. Very very hot. Tells stories to help you understand material.

Very unorganized. Terrible at writing exams. Some questions on exams you can't even study for since they are taken directly from lecture. Asks trivial useless questions on exams that are off topic.

She knows her stuff, but she's disorganized. There are difficult test questions, but I expected that in a college course. I just wish she would have tried to understand that we had the knowledge and we got confused by the test questions. She did not give points back on questions that were misinterpretted. I wish she was more understanding.

Dr. Caya's class was one of my favorite! She has incredible childcare experience and with it gave great examples pertaining to infancy. She played relevant and interesting video clips and tests were very fair. She tells you EXACTLY what she expects on exams, papers, etc. Overall, she's hilarious and extremely knowledgeable... you will enjoy her!

Amazing teacher. She knows what she is talking about and she uses a lot of personal examples to help you remember information. Take her if you have the chance.

Dr. Caya always keeps class interesting and fun. There were a few papers and four tests. If you pay attention in class studying for tests doesn't take much time. Definitely recommend this class with her!

Test were fairly easy, but assignments that seemed easy she would take points off for the dumbest things. Interesting lectures but if you are looking for an easy A take someone else, i started off great and now am getting like a BC.

Love Caya. Love CYC. This capstone class was fun and used all of our past knowledge from other CYC courses.

If you need to take PSY 212, I would recommend taking Caya. She is a great professor. She gives 4 exams, and around 4 papers for the semester. Her lectures are very clear, she gives great examples, and she's always making everyone laugh. Extremely relatable professor. I never skipped a class because I enjoyed it!

5 multiple choice exams and 4 papers. She keeps class interesting and provides a ton of real life examples that help you remember the material. Tests aren't too bad if you study the power points and the examples she says in class. Overall I would recommend!

Good professor, make sure you pay attention to her examples when she talks about her kids, they apply in terms of concepts to the exams. Made Psych bearable for me because I dread the subject.

5 multiple choice exams and 4 papers. She talks about her kids a lot and uses stories about them to explain what you are learning. Sometimes she seems disorganized and is all over the place, but overall tests aren't too bad.

Caya is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. She uses TONS of her own real-life examples to better our understanding of the material. Lectures are actually interesting and something I look forward to. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Caya is extremely knowledgable in her field, but her class became very unorganized as the semester progressed. She has a ton of great examples and has lots of experience, but she can get off topic and jump around a lot which makes studying for exams difficult since she doesn't give study guides. Also takes a VERY long time to grade.

Very enjoyable lectures, she uses a lot of life experiences of her own to relate back to the material which helps you remember it easily. She's very caring and flexible with you. I really liked this class.

I was worried about taking this class with Lisa because of the reviews on this site, but I was pleased to find out she is a great professor! Her lectures are interesting, funny, and easy to listen to. She makes class interesting and is a clear and easy grader. There were minimal assignments in this class and when there were, they were simple. :)

Prof. Caya is a great professor. Her lectures are entertaining and keep you engaged. There are a few 2-3 page papers and exams have most applied questions but she gives multiple options for extra credit.

Lisa is very caring and willing to help if students need it. The class isn't very organized so you don't really know what you're going to get until you come to class. The topic is very interesting and she's very knowledgeable. There are a few guest speakers who she brings in throughout the semester.

I enjoyed listening to her lectures because she gave examples so it made studying easy. When class switched online, it was harder to understand. Be sure to read the book if you would like an A. She does offer extra credit:)

Prof Caya is an interesting teacher to say the least. She's very passionate about the topic of development and has lots of stories to share to help you remember. She can be pretty quirky and disorganized in what we're learning about, but her tests weren't overly difficult as long as you studied and remembered general concepts.

The tests are very based on examples and real life scenarios which is fine because she uses lots of examples during her lectures. The module assignments are super easy and the final was just a unit test so it wasnt bad at all

Professor Caya was a great professor. The course does take attention and effort but you learn so much from it. Her lectures are intriguing and she keeps it relevant and interesting.

Professor Caya has been one of my favorite professors that I have had at UWL. She is passionate about the topic, gives personal examples to help students understand the information better, and takes her time during lectures. Homework is easy, exams are easy if you study for them, and the class is interesting to take. Her love for psych is helpful.

Prof Caya was very engaging. I really liked how she used real life examples when conveying her material because it made it so much easier to understand. Along with that, she is very passionate about what she does and that is obvious. She made this class super fun and cared about students doing well! 5 tests, no quizzes, 2 papers, some assignments

Dr. Caya is very passionate about her work which makes the lectures fun and engaging. Although there are 5 exams throughout the semester, they are also not too difficult and mostly only cover the information we learned in class, some from the textbook. It is lecture heavy with a lot of discussion posts, but other than that, no projects.

Lisa is such a good professor. You need to read her syllabus, there is info in there you need to know. She uses real life stories to help you understand the material better. SHOW UP TO CLASS. She will have notes in class that's not posted online. I would recommend her to anyone taking psychology classes for sure.

Dr. Caya is a great professor! She uses slides that she posts but also explains a lot of extra examples and information in class, so you'll do fine if you come to class and take notes. She's super funny and sweet, and very understanding. Not a harsh grader at all however she does take a while to grade some assignments.

Mrs. Caya is a very good lecturer with many interesting stories, and encourages her class to participate in discussion. I wouldn't miss a class as sometimes she will have notes that she doesn't have online. There are discussions for each unit and exams are online.

I took this online during the summer. Easy A as long as you do all of the assignments. Had a little assignment every week and an Exam. Would definitely take her again. Very caring and willing to work with you. Only negative is that she did not grade anything until the day before grades were due so you didn't know if you were doing well or not.

Lisa is super passionate about her job and field which is inspiring as someone going into the field. Lectures are discussion-based, so it even though attendance isn't mandatory, it is important to be there to hear extra points she adds in. The exams are at-home and open-note but there are only 3 exams that are graded along with participation.

I love this woman so very much. She made the material so easy to understand and gave so many examples that really stuck with you. The exams are open notes, so very simple. There are quite a few assignments, but she gives you plenty of time to get them done and the instructions are clear and concise.

Professor Caya's PSY212 class is engaging, with fun lectures and straightforward exams. Though grading can be slow, using tools like Unstuck ai helps stay on top of things. Overall, a solid course option.

She is absolutely hilarious and so personable. Her lectures are very entertaining and there is a lot of extra credit and ways to get your grade up. Lecture heavy, but she makes it worth while. Overall amazing professor, amazing woman.

Exams are online, open note. 5 modules each with 1-2 discussion posts and an exam plus two papers and opportunity for extra credit. Lecture slides are posted in canvas but she gives good in class examples and has additional written notes for each module so it doesn't hurt to attend. Loves to tell personal stories and canvas is a mess. Hard to reach

Good lecturer she shares a lot of personal examples and stories.

This was the easiest class I have taken - the exams are online and open note, as long as you were in class and taking notes you will do good. She uses personal examples and is sometimes really judgmental but the lectures are engaging with examples. If she tells a story write it down, it's prob on the exam. Overall she's fine and class is easy.

Professor Caya is very kind and passionate about what she teaches. She gives good lectures and shares lots of personal stories and examples. However, canvas is a bit unorganized and grades are often slow to go in or in inaccurate for a while.

She's really funny and super good at speaking, but super slow to grade and also hides stuff in the syllabus. All the tests were online, though she loved that and her super sweet.

She is a great professor, her lectures are fun and engaging. Attendance is mandatory solely based on how she tests you in what she says in class, and all of it is not on the slides.
