Very good professor. The best I've had at Yuba College. Very structured class and the material is presented in an easy to understand manner.
One of my absolute favorite professors at Yuba. She's great, and makes the class fun despite the hard tests and long homework.
Awesome teacher, very cool, great structure, makes class fun and interesting. I recommend her as a teacher anyday!
great class. she has an ease to her that you want to be there
Very fun class, great teacher and person. Very interesting person. 4 tests, none cumulative final. 4 hw assignments. The lecture notes are practically the answers to the test.
She love to talk about sex

had for human sex and 1a. class is a breeze if you attend and pay attention to lectures. Ask questions is class, do the hw very carefully and you will for sure have an A. Jensen rocks, great person.
She is a great Lecturer and she has a remarkable passion for what she teaches. Thank You Prof.!
Great class, amazing teacher, I would recommend taking her for whatever you can
Great class, I am so sad it's over. I loved this class, I learned a lot and it was easy. I think every one should take this class.
**** connotation; femme bias is torturous – questionable statistical sources used; somewhat skeptical
She was one of the greatest teachers ive had at yuba...i had taken psych 1a previously so i was retaking it and i learned more in a month with her than i did a whole semester with the other teacher...shes a great teacher and she makes class fun and interesting
I learned a lot and she makes it pretty easy and fun. She gives four tests throughout the semester, including the final. There are hw packets due on those test days- so you have forever to get them done. Just do the work, and pay attention in class- you should be fine. She's a good teacher :)
probably the most fun i've had in any class i've taken. i took her for both psych 1 & 12 and i loved it. just do the work and don't slack off. everything is pretty straight forward. she does powerpoint so note taking is easy. the class is also very entertaining. the tests can get hard, but just make sure you know the material.
She was really great and entertaining. I learned a lot. But make sure you take good notes because the tests are not easy.
Hard class. U gotta attend. Do not skip. DO NOT miss a test! (U will thank me for that advice!) Take good notes. Everything on the test is covered in the lecture/assignment/book.
She is AMAZING. Her human sexuality class is hard if you don't try hard enough, but I would totally take the class with her again.
Just study, and you'll at least pass her exams with a B. Must attend classes or your S.O.L but that is the least one can do. She's funny, sometimes goes off in tangents of her Human Sexuality, she's a BOMB teacher overall!
She has a real passion for what she does, she's very clear in her expectations and if you follow them you will do well. My advice: attend class! take really good notes, and start your homework ahead of time, because I promise you it will take you hours to complete, don't procrastinate! Overall a fun class, a lot of discussion and interesting info:)
Really cool Professor. Some funny moments every now and then. Stick through it, never MISS OUT ON EXAMS, b.c. if do, make up will be CUMM. Has interesting information. Only 4 homework assignments, answers are in lecture. SHOW UP and study, you will pass with at least a C =]
shes a really good teacher. hates people being late. tests are on the hard side but if you study then and pay attention then your fine. a lot of notes but very helpful. overall really good teacher.
dont be late or she will kick you out and dont miss a test! she was awesome, always talks about her son mason. Im going to take another class with her. GREAT TEACHER!
She is the best Professor I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. She and her class is tough, but fair and worth it. I will definately take all my Psych classes with her.
Awesome teacher! I had her for Psych 1A and Human Sexuality, she is amazing. She keeps lecture interesting, presents the notes on power point, and makes sure class if fun, too :D very highly recommended.
Very easy class. just show up because attendance counts.
She's so awesome! Very intelligent/educated in the subject, very funny and makes the class interesting. You won't want to miss any days because she covers a lot of info each class meeting. I didn't use the book very often, but it was helpful when I did. Easy if you do HW and pay attention, tests tricky but you'll do great if you show up and study.
I highly recommend her as a teacher. Ive taken all my courses w/ her. U have 4 hw assignments which can be answered from her lectures. U will take a lot of notes all which u really just need to focus on in order to do good on tests. Be on time or else she wont let u in. She knows her stuff and can make it stick.
Very smart and witty. She makes the class interesting and easy to learn the material. In my experience best teacher at Yuba.
Great professor. Makes the material really easy to understand and tries to answer every question to the best of her abilities. The homework isn't challenging at all if you pay attention in class.
Very helpful, and clear in her lecture. Always make sure the class understand infor before moving on.Go to class, read textbook, and the least you could get is a "B' on her exam.
I have taken Jensen-Martin for both 1A and 12. She is an excellent professor by far the best professor I have taken at Yuba College. She gives great lectures and will address any questions you have before moving on to the next topic. As long as you attend class and do the homework it?s practically impossible to fail the class.
easy class. goes off slides. never studied for this class. all multiple choice. youd have to be a retard not to pass.
I've taken every one of her classes, and gotten A's in all of them. She is the reason I am studying to be a Psychologist. She instilled in me a love of the subject and I have never looked back. Her class will change your life
actually it IS possible to fail. i did. but that was when i didnt care about school and i retook and passed. its a relatively easy class. grades based on tests and easy hw sheets to turn in on test day. shes a cool professor and lecture is fun to go to. just do well on tests and those hw sheets :)
I took Jensen-Martin for psych1A and 12, and I absolutely loved her. She really has a passion for psych and her lectures are great. She is the one who opened my eyes to the world of Psychology and I am now a Psyche major. If you have the chance to take her, do it!! Do you homework and study for the tests and you'll do just fine.
I agree with most other's. Make sure you attend class. We did need the text for a few things to clarify the powerpoint. Don't be late or let your cell ring!
cool teacher...tests are full of dumb questions that were rarely covered...if you wanna pass you have to pay attention to things that are irrelevant ...
If you really want to feel confident in the area of Psychology, have her as your Professor. She knows her stuff! Very knowledgeable Professor with great lectures!
Jensin-Martin is awesome! If you do the homework you'll pass, going to her lecture is important though, and fun sometimes. I missed like 6 days in a TTH class and got an A. If you're willing to put forth the effort her class is no problem, and really cool!
Very great personality, and very straight-forward. She is honest, sometimes brutally, but sometimes ya need to hear it. She really made psych fun! Can't wait to take her sexuality class!
This class with this professor was worth every penny. She is an amazing professor, she knows how to engage students in her material, exciting class and great sense of humor. I never missed class because of how great her and her lectures are. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn about Psychology, I took her for Psychology 12.
I took her for Psych 12 . She's an amazing Professor and she makes sure you pass the test. Her Test are based on her notes and slides. The HW really helped me so I recommend every one to take her .
Do the homework and study guides and it's easy. Don't show up late.
Best professor I have taken so far. She's so nice and actually cares for the students. Not to much work and is interestingly fun.
She is awsome! very social, she always explains her lectures and gets to work right away. there is HW that's turned in when there's an exam. (similar ?'s are on the exam from the hw) and do the study guide! its fun, if you don't understand it she can explain indifferent ways. she cares about her students succeeding in the class. DON'T BE LATE!!!
Very interesting lectures. Engaged students in personal and more relatable approaches to topics, making it easy to stay attentive. Most test material is discussed during lectures, but the questions on the homework are almost identical to those on the test. Honestly not that hard to pass - just do the homework and pay attention!!
Definitely would take again if she taught more classes other than Psych 1A and Human Sexuality. Coursework is easy and not overbearing. Try not to miss a test because the make up is cumulative. She posts the power points online if you miss a lecture. Is a stickler for tardiness and will kick you out if over five minutes. Very interactive class.
Great professor! She is knowledgeable and lecture is fun to attend. Homework is due at the time of the test. No cumulative final unless if you wish to make up a missed test. Go over the study guides. We made posters on a mental illness. She is easy to understand and regularly confirms with the class to make sure that they understand the topics.
Great instructor! Lectures are interesting and cover the material. Homeworks are due the day of each exam. Study guides are provided for each exam and are very helpful.
All time favorite professor. I've taken two classes with her and she has the most interesting lectures. Engages the students and gives study guides along with homework to help everyone pass the tests.
she gives you the study guides for the test, do them and you'll pass the tests. read the book, do the homework, go to class and it should be an easy A. her lectures are engaging. it's a fun class
She is simply the best!! She does not place herself upon a Professor pedestal, and is so throrough in lecture that the information is so easy to retain! Her lecutres seem like a conversation and are not boring at all. I honestly wish she taught more classes that i could take.
I took her for human sexuality. She has great lectures and is willing to spend extra time on things the class is really enjoying. Do the homework, put in the effort, and it is an easy class.
Very good class. Lectures are very good. Just make sure you are on time and ready to participate, study guides tell you what's on the tests.
If you are a tactical learner, this would be the Psychology class for you. It's not completely hands on but she does activities & gives analogies to make the info more clear. Wonderful Professor w/amazing lectures, truly intriguing and funny. Your grade is about YOUR effort, put in the work and you'll do fine. I would take any class she offers!
She was one of the best teachers I have had. I love her!! She makes sure everyone is understanding the material and wants everyone to succeed there are 4 tests and 4 home work assignments that go along with it. I loved this class and having her teach it was very enjoyable. She is hilarious which makes it that much better! I highly recommend!:)
I wasn't a Psych major when I started this class, but I was by the time it ended. Her lectures are fun and engaging, and she's very willing to help those who need it.
Best teacher at Yuba College hands down. She is straight up but caring. You learn so much in her class and it's simple. You take 4 tests, 1 project, 4 homework packets, and occasionally participation questions (extremely easy). She is the reason why I personally changed my major to Psychology. I wish she taught more psych classes.
One of the best professor I had. There wasn't a lot of homework. Takes roll almost every day. If you go to class and take notes, you will pass the class and she gives out study guides! Her lectures were fun and engaging, she always had a story to tell along with each topic. Absolutely one of the best professors at Yuba!
I took Lisa for General Psychology & Human Sexuality. Great teacher! She's willing to give you extra material to make sure you learn the subject. You can meet her in her office during her hours. She's cute too so that makes learning the material that much better. Hands down the best Psychology teacher at Yuba College. Wish she taught more classes.
I came back from Eastern Washington as a music major. I took two of her classes together and were the most interesting classes I've taken in a while, so I decided at that moment that I would change my major to Psychology and then go back to music. She knows & explains the material really well. You will learn while you're in her class. Best Teacher!
Prof. Jensen-Martin is EASILY among the top instructors at Yuba College. Her style of lecture involves lots of input from the classroom. She ACTUALLY reviews her own slides before lectures, and presents with an exuberant humor that hooks students into engaging in the material. She is the reason I changed majors, I wish she taught more Psych.
Professor Martin is very engaging and good at what she does. Her lectures cover what is going to be on the test. Read all the required reading, go to lecture, and you will do well on the tests. She is very honest and charming. I enjoyed going to class and learning more about the mind.
She is a great teacher. I took human sexuality with her so the class was already interesting by itself but she made it even better with her sense of humor. I would recommend her to everyone. My favorite class I've ever taken.
Professor Jensen-Martin is amazing! This woman inspired me to pursue minoring in psychology. She is the best. I guarantee you will have fun in her class.
Best Psych teacher I've ever had. She's extremely personable, and easy to get along with. Don't skip class, she gives points for participation. Homework is fairly easy, multiple choice questions and a short answer for most of it. HW used the book extensively, and some stuff in the book is not included in the power points. Definitely recommend!!!!!!
I really loved this class . If you are taking psychology as major or as just to meet one of your major requirements, I would suggest taking it with Prof. Martin. By no means is it an "easy A" class but, if you listen in class, take good notes, and do the homework you should do fine.
The best professor at Yuba College hands down. I highly recommend psych majors to take their classes with her because she's just awesome! Even if you're not a psych major you will learn a lot from her. Participate and take good notes and you'll do good in the class.
Keeps you hooked in class, but makes you work for your grade. great professor. reading the book and studying is highly suggested.
Great teacher took her for psychology 1A and 12. Do the homework and do the study guides for the test and you will pass
What an amazing professor! She incorporates so many things into her lecture, such as news and other media. Her sense of humor keeps you engaged in the lecture and it is fun to participate in answering questions. This class makes you more self-aware. I would highly recommend taking her! She has inspired me to change my major to psychology.
Professor Jensen is the most amazing professor I have had thus far. I have taken her twice, once for PSY1A and now for PSY12. Her lectures are interesting, class is interactive and never dull. She will truly change the way you see things. She is a fair but tough grader and prepares your for the exams. Best professor yet!
Loved this Professor. Her lectures are engaging and interesting. You can tell she has a genuine interest for the subjects she's teaching. She gives study guides for her exams and the PP slides are online. I definitely see her being big in the Psychology world.
I really enjoy being in Lisas class. She really cares about getting us involved and making sure we learn things and understand them. She really makes class fun! Great teacher, would recommend her in a heart beat.
I absolutely LOVEEE her class!!! Its so amazing you really just have to read the chapters and do the study guide she is the best and everything is super fair and easy if you do all your work
Ms Jensen Martin is one of the best teachers. Simply show up to class. She does random participation assignments in class which really affect your grade. Her lectures are diligent and she places slides on Canvas. Also if you can answer the study guide she gives you on canvas you can pass the test. Incredible person but she grades based on work
I enjoyed her class and her lectures passed very quickly because they were so interesting. She is very knowledgeable, down to earth, and cares about people. I wish every teacher was like her at Yuba College. She is EXCELLENT!! If you have to take Psych1A take it with her.
Lecture was engaging, but you will have to read the textbook in order to pass. Lecture notes and powerpoints were not indicative of test. Powerpoint would state one thing and tests would ask another. "Attendance" is a must and will be graded, because you are a child. She will allow u to attend her other class time if you miss your class time.
Love this professor! Have her for two classes in a row and I absolutely favor her Psych1A class. Amazing at lectures and makes sure everyone gets it, but be careful about missing a day because you could get behind quick. Other than that she's an absolute card, just don't walk in 5+ minutes late! Great teacher, HIGHLY recommended!
Great professor
Probably the best professor there is. The class is very engaging and very easy to understand. I loved both psych 1A & psych 12. Again an easy class, very laid back professor. Its basically an easy A if you take notes do the little homework she gives. The text are very easy as well. Definitely recommend this class and professor.
Absolutely loved Jensen-Martin. She's a wonderful professor with even more wonderful lectures. She has a great personality for a Psych class, and does an awesome job of keeping the class interesting. Your grade is heavily weighted on exams, though. She's an absolute gem, and I would 10/10 take her class again.
I really enjoy her class and plan on taking her Human Sexuality class. I feel like I'm learning a lot and am going to use a lot of the skills I'm learning throughout my life. Her lectures are engaging, she keeps up to date on current information, and is always looking to make things easier for her students.
I loved Professor Jensen. She was very understanding and accommodating with my own personal issues and always willing to help. Shes super funny during lecture and very down to earth and realistic. She dosent hand out grades, they must be earned. Very interesting class and I'd take her again!
This was by far the best professor/class I have ever taken. Not only is Prof. Jensen well versed in her subject but she has a natural ability to make the class so interesting and informative. I learned so much about life in this class I never wanted to miss a minute of it. I cannot reccomend enough! Take this class youll be happy you did.
Clear and thorough lectures
Professor Jensen was great. She really enjoys teaching psychology and it shows. The class was very interesting and engaging. She offers extra credit opportunities. She is also very helpful if you are struggling to understand something go see her in her office hour.
Honestly, such a good soul. Hilarious, intellectual that really knows how to engage an audience. I would definitely take her again. The group stuff was lame, but that's because I'm antisocial lol.. super great professor. No judgements, a great soul all around.
Professor Jansen is an amazing person and she teaches really well. Her lectures are easy and understandable but a lot of reading is required to get good grades in the test. Her test comes from reading so make sure you read her lecture slides and the book carefully. There is not much homework to do just 4 homework assignments.
Favorite psych professor. She is awesome, great lectures, funny and so caring. I had a blast in Her class. Strongly recommend!!!!
AMAZING AND HILARIOUS PROFESSOR!! I love her so much! Her lectures are so interesting and she always shares such amazing stories and they always relate to the topic and lecture. Love love love her and her class. Just make sure you STUDY and attend class so you are there for her lectures!
Makes psychology very interesting. Lectures have some great examples of the things she is teaching in real life. Only difficult section is biology which can be easily passed with some basic memorization.
Shes so intelligent and gives fascinating lectures. I highly recommend! The class work load is light and what youre tested on is RIGHT from the PP slides she has up on CANVAS for you! Super enjoyable class, learned a lot-
Professor Jensen was super fun to take Human Sexuality with! Every lecture was very interesting and fun to learn! She gets everyone to get step outside of their comfort zone. The exams are a bit tough but if you study the powerpoint slides then you'll be perfectly fine! We hardly ever had hw and if we did, sometimes it was usually optional.
I loved her class, I wish I could take them again. She made my freshman year fun. Her classes were always the best! You could use your laptop to take notes which was nice and if someone didn't understand a topic she would try her best to explain it so that everyone would get it. I really liked her lecture style. 10/10 professor!
she is amazing and helped spark my love for psychology
I've taken the professor in-person before, and she gives great funny lectures that motivates the students to study. Use textbook only if you need more understanding, but you don't need to read the texbook from my experience, and you only should focus on the professor's powerpoint slides and lectures as they are the ones that will be on the test!!!
One of the best teachers I've had. I did her class online because of COVID. Most of the test material is on the powerpoints, and no annoying mandatory zoom meetings.
Great professor, personally I never even touched the textbook and passed with an A.
She was a great professor, made learning easy, and kept it interesting. She is interested in hearing out her students and discussing personal views towards topics. Listen to lectures and take notes, then you'll pass tests and quizzes easily.
Professor Jensen is great. Her Canvas is easy to navigate and her homework is reasonable and easy to complete. Her quizzes and exams were also very easy and she responds fast.
The workload was super manageable. Only thing that took the longest was watching the lectures which were sometimes 1 hour or 2. Even then, she made them super interesting. Don't read the textbook she provides, really not necessary. Allowed to use the provided PowerPoints on the exams which were soo helpful. 100% recommend taking her psych 1A class!
I am so glad I took her class. This was my first phycology class and I was a little nervous about how it would be however her lecture videos are so effective to understand the chapter and topic. I highly recommend students to go with her.
Mrs. Jensen is an amazing professor and is easy to keep up with as an online professor. Her lectures are amazing and she really takes the time to actually teach and make sure that you know the material.
She is an amazing professor that you can follow along and if you had any question she would get back to you quickly. I 100% recomend her and would take her class again.
I really enjoyed her class. She was the 1st professor I took here I Yuba College. Easy to get a hold of and responds to any questions you may have rather quickly. I took the 8 week course, and it just flew! I did not get the grade I was hoping for ( my own doing) But I really recommend taking any of her classes.
1 discussion and 1 assignment due weekly. Quiz are not timed. HOWEVER, exams are timed. So if you are a slow reader, you might want to reconsider taking another professor. This professor writes paragraph exams.
Professor Jensen-Martin gives you all the tools necessary to pass this class with an A (free textbook, PowerPoint slides, recorded lectures). 1 discussion and 1 assignment per week. Make sure you study for the tests and review the PowerPoints as 95% of the test answers are in the slides. Great class, would recommend to anyone needing to take Psych.
she was great, I met her when i was in 8th grade and she was soo nice.
Professor Jensen-Martin is amazing! Her lectures and materials are super helpful - the PowerPoints cover most of the test content. For study prep, I found Unstuck ai and the free textbook to be really useful too. Definitely take this class!
Professor Jensen is a great teacher. She sure knows her stuff and explains concepts really well. However, as with o
Professor Jensen is really knowledgeable when it comes to the subject and explains concepts really well. However, as with other professors at Yuba college, I wished she'd keep her political views to herself. A professor's job is not to brainwash young adults against current presidents. Doesn't matter who the current presidents are.
Pretty easy class. Her assignments are actually interesting and will make you wanna do the quizzes. Doesn't have heavy load of assignments. Recommend this professor 100%.
