Lisa is the best. She really knows her stuff! She makes the lecture very interesting, and just recently started to post her notes on webct. that was a big help. lots of quizes, which help you for the tests.
lisa is great, extremly helpful, funny, makes the class fun, and if you dont understand anything shes right there helping you. definitly recommend
an awesome teacher!!!!!!!
lisa is an awesome teacher. it was my favorite class if i could take her again i would in a heartbeat. she is down to earth and isn't fake at all.
An amazing teacher. She knows how people learn and knows how to teach. Makes it very interesting. I would take her again in a heart beat
I took this class online and I passed with an A, but I am not satisfied with the course. communication was terrible and for a few weeks there was no communication at all, papers were graded sooo slow. I felt like I was on my own.
Lisa is an awesome teacher, one of the best teachers to make the c;lass fun an dinteresting. However, her quizzes and exams are difficult, you have to REALLY understand the material to do well, biut you also have alot of other opportunities in the class to raise your grade
One of the best teachers I had at BCC. She is very nice and really knows her stuff! She made the class very interesting. Tests are not too bad if you study. Take her...you will learn alot!
She rants about nothing and I honestly haven't learned anything from her thus far. The quizzes are ridiculous...the answers aren't even in the notes she posts on eLearning. I really like Psychology and I'm very disappointed. She's very nice, but that's not what I need.

Love this teacher. I had never taken a psyc class before so i was kinda worried about it but she makes Pysc very fun and interesting. Knows her stuff. Tests are a little hard, definitely need to study and know the material to do well.
I LOVE LISA SHE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER GOES OUT OF HER WAY FOR HER STUDENTS!!
Great teacher. Knows what she's talking about. Very entertaining, easy and fun. You will love her definitely take her!
I literally have not one bad thing to say about Lisa or the class itself. She obviously knew her stuff and explained it well. Her class was enjoyable and i would love to take another. I really actually learned in her class, how many college students can say that about their classes!
She is excellent person and the best teacher,I love how she teach, she gives you extra help on the test if you need it, the notes that she post, they are not helpful at all. Every chapter she post a quiz with multiple options(very difficult)I enjoy her class...
Disappointed! I love Lisa as a person, but she was unable to keep the young (high school+college)students on subject. Too much time was wasted on nonsense chatter, and the class fell so far behind the syllabus, we never caught up. What I did learn, I taught myself from the textbook. I want to retake this class to truly learn the material! just sad
amazing professor! She teaches the material so well and to a understanding that everyone will get! You will need the text book and the essays seem hard, but you put the work into it and she appreciates it and will give you a good grade! Amazing personality and very friendly! A MUST TAKE PROFESSOR AT BCC!
She is a GREAT teacher! If you want to take a psych course, I highly recommend Lisa! She explains things in a very easy to understand way, and tells stories to go along with them, you will literally never forget these things. Her class is upbeat and fun, I actually looked forward to it! How many people can say that about a class?
Great prof! The online quizzes are somewhat difficult and the tests can be a bit tricky but as long as you pay attention in class you will love it and pass with flying colors! very experienced and intelligent professor! Absolutely love all of her stories!! Also as long as you take notes and pay attention the tests will be no problem for you!
Absolutely fantastic teacher. Super nice and easy to understand. Tells a lot of crazy and interesting story's that relates to the topic. Test are somewhat difficult makes you think. She is very understanding and reasonable. Overall a must take course!!
Awesome professor, recommend her to anyone!! If you take psych, take her!!
Prof Delano-Botelho is really nice however I don't recommend an online class with her. If you have a question it'll take days/weeks for her to get back to you. Online due dates were messed up. Her weekly quizes are very confusing! The Group Project was a disaster at the end. I don't think online classes are for her. Take her in person!
This teacher is amazing. I barely touched my book because I was so interested in class I retained all the information she taught. I thoroughly enjoyed her class. I wish she taught more classes so I could take her again. She is an extremely positive person with a noticeable passion for what she does.
Lisa is absolutely amazing!She is the best teacher i have had so far!I love her teaching style and the stories she tells. She is wonderful!
Honestly the BEST teacher I have ever taken as my life as a student. She is so nice and engaging and really makes you want to learn. Not only this but she has a heart of gold and pure understanding. I wish I could take her again, her class was my favorite out of everything.
BEST TEACHER EVERRR!!!!!!!!! I TELL EVERYONE ABOUT HER SHE IS ABSOLUTLY AMAZING AND SO FUNNY!!!!!! I WISH SHE TAUGHT EVERY CLASS.
Fantastic person in general! Well-rounded teaching methods (Visual, Auditory, Verbal, and Kinesthetic). Keep up with the work and participate in class and it will be impossible for you to receive a bad score. She is intent on helping those who make an effort.
Lisa was very nice and liked to try to make the class more fun. I enjoyed the enthusiasm she had but this isn't the best class for someone who wants to really learn the material. There was a lot of time wasted on stories the class would get sidetracked on. This also isn't a good class for anyone who doesn't like group work. It's an easy A though.
She is absolutely wonderful She is extremely into what she does and I love her to death I take abnormal psych with her.
Liza is amazing and shares personal experiences with all her classes. Highly recommend you take her, course load is fair and pay attention in class or you wont pass, worth taking her! Taking her again for psy 252!!
Not a bad teacher. Talks a lot, stories usually relate to class but not helpful to assignments. Often late to class. Expect weekly short papers, take home midterm and final. Service learning component was my favorite. Easy A if you're just taking as elective. If you're taking it for major, take different professor! Won't learn much
Great professor. Really funny and loves to talk. We fell behind because of that. I would definitely recommend her
I LOVED taking Ab Psych with Lisa. I may have enjoyed it more because I had 2+ years in the mental health field so this was just a cake walk class. As far as Work Load though - EASY BREEZY!Fun lectures - always an interesting story lol. I looked forward to class every time. Take home mid term and final - and 10 shorteasy essays for the semester )
She is THE BEST professor I've ever had. She's hilarious, kind, and super understanding. She is reasonable and if you come to her with a problem she's totally willing to help and be flexible. She's the best. Her work is definitely not easy for those who don't pay attention though. She has a lot of papers, and wouldn't be ideal if you hate essays.
BEST professor at BCC! Absolutely love her. She makes all of her classes enjoyable. Definitely recommend her!
She is a great teacher and she knows what she is talking about. Her class is very intersting and makes you think outside the box. I would recommend her!
I can't rave enough about this professor. She is amazing! I was so sad to not be able to take her in my third semester, as she only teaches two different psych classes. She's hilarious, and knows her stuff. Her only downside is she assigns insanely long papers, but as long as you're not lazy and you do the work you'll make the grade. She's awesome!
Great!! Lots of reading and papers due weekly. She is a fun and lively person. Enjoys what she does and excites the class. You will not be bored. She is funny and knows her stuff. This semester hasnt finished so not sure on my grade but still, she goes over book but you have to read. Exam was take home, I think I duped but oh well. Good proff!!
Amazing professor, she really knows her stuff considering she's worked in the field. Gives great examples and is always willing to answer any questions you may have. She's really passionate about what she teaches and it shows, she makes every class interesting.
Awesome teacher, a lot of stories that relate to the subject. Fair grader gives you many chances to pass. Taking her class again for sure!
One of the best teachers I have ever had, I wish she could teach every class. She makes you want to learn and want to do well. She is always willing to help and explain further. She is really funny and super nice. If you're going to take any psy class take her! She is the best!
One of the best teachers I had in my entire life. The stories she tells class makes any student laugh well learning about the subject. Her test is a little hard if you don't study. If you read the text book you will do great. If she sees that you try she is willing to give extra credit to help you succeed
Got me to major in psych. She's super passionate about what she teaches and makes every class really funny and interactive. All professors should be like her. I look forward to abnormal psych class
LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!! She's very fair and tells you from the beginning that she's there to help! She makes the subject very interesting with her real-life stories and experiences she has pertaining to psychology. She made the midterm and final a class vote on whether it will be in-class or take home! Put in the effort, and get an A! She's cool!!
Wow what a good professor. She gets your attention and give good examples to make easier to understand. She's always there to help in her office and even gives her own cellphone number that we can reach her. It's a lot of material and talking in class and sometimes it's difficult to follow up. choose in class take home exam includes the final exam
Very good teacher. Uses examples and experiences from her own history which is interesting. Take home exam also which was awesome.
Lisa is seriously my favorite professor I have ever had at BCC! She is very passionate and truly cares for her students. She'll make you work for your grade, but if your willing to learn and put in the work, the knowledge you receive from her his priceless. I wish I had taken her for my other psyc courses.
She is nice person, but don't challenge her with difficult questions. She doesn't like it. Not very good at getting back to you and due to that I was unable to get assistance with certain things. She enjoys the younger students and entertains them well. I don't feel grading was fair.
Lisa is one of the best psych teachers yet ! ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! Take her if you can she is very understanding and will go beyond to help you !
Lisa is such an amazing teacher. I recommend taking her for any physiology courses that you need to take. She breaks everything down and makes sure everyone understands. She loves to tell stories from her own experiences which helps a lot too. She is hilarious and I never dread going to her lectures. Choose her!
I have taken 4 PSY courses with Lisa already and I plan on taking 2 more courses with her before I graduate in the Spring. She is that good. I always look forward to going to her lectures. She is funny and really cares about her students and is very passionate. Take her, you will not be disappointed!
Lisa is an amazing professor. She cares about her students and is willing to work with you in getting your work done. She's hilarious, knows what she is talking about and is passionate about what she is teaching. She is very open to class discussions and wants to hear what everyone has to say. I will be taking the other psych classes she teaches.
One of my favorite professors by far! Interesting lectures, tells lots of stories to help you relate and remember concepts. Would absolutely recommend this professor. Gives you every opportunity to receive a good grade.
Lisa is an amazing professor. She's very passionate about psychology and it shows. She wants her students to succeed and is willing to help them do that. Sometimes her lectures get off the original topic, but only because a student asked a question and she wants them to have the correct information. It still pertains to psychology. She is great!!
Literally the best teacher I've had in my entire life. Explains everything clearly, can take on any question, very understanding and funny af.
Lisa is one of the best professors Ive ever had. Her lectures were interesting and informative. Shes worked out in the field so she knows what shes talking about. We had weekly papers (1-2 pages), a take home midterm and final, and a research paper. We also had a service learning project which we prepared for all semester. Highly recommended!
Very good professor! Her lectures we interesting and gave accurate information. There were weekly short homework assignments. The midterm and final were take home. There was also a final paper. I highly recommend!
Lisa is a nice person and gives good lectures. Shes very funny. She requires a lot of reading, one quiz per chapter that are pretty difficult. Her midterm and final exams are very difficult as well. Definitely have to work for it...
Energetic. Actually cares about topics she's teaching and knows a lot about them. Course requires you actually learn and understand the material for the most part. Tests can be hard because the material can be hard.
Very nice professor. Class was very fun, she is hilarious. Professor knows her material very well. However, at times the class can be very unorganized and tough. She is a very tough grader. But overall, it was a positive experience taking this class.
She was awesome! I definitely recommend taking her. She makes the class alive and makes her lectures into stories that you will understand. There is a quiz after each chapter but they are all online. There are 4 exams 2 of them are online!
Course is clear cut in the syllabus so youre never unprepared for whats coming. A lot of class discussion but its great because its based on real life scenarios vs textbook lingo. Weekly informal essays that are just a follow up to what youre currently learning & making sure youre grasping the concept of materials. all aroin Great Professor!
This professor was very fair with clear expectations. She was acessable when needed, and turkey wants her students to understand and pass. Highly recommended
Amazing professor. Clearly loves what she does and want everyone to succeed.
Lisa is truly an inspiration to her field. I would be lucky to take a class with her again. Anyone serious about going into the psychology field should would benefit from taking a class with this wonderful woman.
The worst prof I've ever had! I don't know how she has great reviews? Half my class withdrew before I did. Research papers returned 8 days later stating find new topic. Quiz questions from chapters not assigned yet. Open-ended essay questions and then grades your opinion! Waste of time, I took this class the following semester and got an A+
One of my favorite professors. She makes the subject come alive by telling a lot of funny and interesting stories, and she encourages plenty of class discussion. She's one of the reasons I decided to become a Psychology major. Highly recommended!
Professor Botelho is the best psychology instructor I have ever had. She has the class laughing the entire time. Every single lecture was interesting and thorough! I have learned so much with her. Im so glad that I took a class with her. I highly recommend taking her for abnormal psychology, she Knows what shes talking about.
Lisa is one of the best professors I've ever had, and is definitely the funniest. Having to take a statistics for psych class made me groan, but because of her, I actually ended up enjoying it. She will explain concepts until you understand them, and answers any questions you have. Will be taking her for Abnormal Psych next semester.
Lisa is one of the best professors at BCC. Ive had her for other classes, so I was excited to take this new required class with her. The class itself was a little difficult, but Lisa is good at explaining things differently if need be. I highly recommend Lisa for any psychology class you need to take.
She is very funny and makes class fun. She shares some crazy stories but also is a very good teacher. I took her for psych 101 and then took abnormal psych by her the next semester. She posts everything online but also relies on the students responsibility for attendance, participation, assignments, etc. If you like psychology you will love her!
Shes amazing. Lecture notes are on BB and easy to follow. Class is more discussion-based than lecture-based (but i guess this depends on class attitude/participation). Short essay due every week which are fairly easy, the midterm and final are sent out in advance so you can work on them gradually (book on reserve in library)
Even though I understand others may think she's amazing, I think a bit differently. Her teaching style was not for me. The lectures jumped all over the place. The class went off topic too easily. I will just say those examples.
Great teacher ,interesting classes
This class has to be one of my favorite i've ever taken because of Lisa. She makes the topic so interesting with the stories she tells which some will make your mouth drop open. She has easy homeworks due each week and only a midterm and a final. Highly recommend Lisa
Amazing. The most engaged professor I have ever had. Really wants you to get the material and has great stories and innovative grading of weekly essays to ensure that you do. Seriously the most caring professor you will find, take every class you can with her!
Great professor! Relates everything in the class to personal stories for better understanding. Encourages questions. Research paper at the end of the semester. Due dates are IMPORTANT! Does not respond to emails well, but tries her hardest to do so. Lecture heavy, but her personality is awesome so the time flies! Overall, she is a awesome choice!
She is very disorganized. She her midterms are SUPER hard and it doesn't match up with the readings online. My class was two lessons behind and it showed in our grades. Do not take her. Unless you want a B- or lower. She is very nice though, I do give her that.
Ive taken many classes by Lisa, and I will continue to! This class is notoriously difficult, but she clearly cares a lot and wants you to do well. Was in person, then online due to Covid 19. She continued lectures online. Always said I dont care about the math, understand the concepts. Its not exactly true, the math is difficult. Go to class!
Communication is HORRIBLE. Very disorganized and all over the place. WEEKLY essays and quizzes do NOT match up with textbook material. Tough grader and grades tough on group projects and let's the class give an opinon on what your grade should be, and takes it into consideration. Just awful and again communication is awful when needing help.
I took both PSY 295 & 230 with Lisa. PSY 295 was probably my favorite class I've taken so far, and many classmates said the same. In psy230, kids were mad they had to do work. It's stats, what do you expect? Yes you have to read the chapter, and read the syllabus to know what's required - we're in college. Loved Lisa, you get back what you put in.
I love Lisa! Such an amazing professor, BCC is super lucky to have her. Her weekly essays were pretty long and required critical thinking. If you don't like to think critically, it could be a difficult class for you. Her lectures are very engaging and she gives awesome feedback.
She is a nice professor, but boy is there a lot of work involved. WEEKLY essays, discussion boards, AND quizzes. Her lectures are interesting and engaging but there is a lot of reading and work involved in this class. Maybe it would be different if class was in person. She gives good feedback as well. If you have the time, take her. I learned alot.
Very nice professor, she will help you out with any questions you have. But her teaching is very confusing and hard to understand. You forget everything by the final which the final is extremely hard. Even doing it in groups it was still so hard. The questions are very unclear and confusing.
She loves her job and really kept my class engaged with the lecture all of her work is doable and the majority of things can be found online. This class is relaxing and if you need credits, take this easy class.
I would never take her class again
Professor Delano-Botelho is amazing! Her lectures are interesting and hilarious. PSY 101 required one essay and one quiz per week, keep up on assignments and you will do fine.
Professor Botelho's teaching is very different from the rest. She is by the book, and she will make you work hard for that grade
A lot of discussion boards, quizzes were somewhat difficult, Essays were understandable. Professor was clear in what was needed and what she wanted done. You could text or email her if you had any questions. There was A lot of reading in this class but material was interesting to learn. Great professor I would take this class again!
This woman wanted the students in her statistics course to use a specific program that no longer works on Mac OS software. When told it doesn't work for mac computers, this woman wanted us to buy new windows laptops for her class. She also took at least 3 weeks to grade assignments. By far the worst and most unprofessional professor I've ever met.
Lisa is fabulous and truly good at what she does. You can tell in her engaging lectures how passionate she is about psychology. She is patient and genuinely cares about her students. I found the couse work to be very doable as long as you put in the effort. I would recommend this class to everyone it is a safe place to learn and enjoyable to take!
Professor Delano-Botelho is engaging and passionate. The coursework is doable with effort, and I found unstuckstudy super helpful for quick study prep.
Lisa is very funny and very passionate about psychology. While she can be a bit disorganized (grading things late, changing due dates) she is usually very accommodating and I had no trouble passing.
What stands out the most about Lisa is her caring personality. She is also very patient. My only complaint is not about the teacher, but about the textbook used. It was a physical book, unavailable as OER, and I also found that the quiz answers didn't always align with the text in the book. Lisa is the best, though!
One of my favorite oriffesors because she made learning fun and interesting.
I have liked Lisa in previous classes, but I do not recommend her for Statistics for Psychology. She is disorganized and her teaching is confusing in a class that requires clear guidelines and structure. She doesn't even know the contents of her own assignments (or exams), they just auto-post and often contain material not yet covered.
took her online class and everything was easy to follow. She gives great feedback on anything you write and do, and I would definitely take her again. Such a great teacher who really makes the class enjoyable and easy to understand.
