Best teacher I have ever had. and she loves what she teaches so that helps.
She's awesome
I took her Spring 2011 GOVT 2305, which was half class and half online. Her class has 15 quizzes, which you can give unlimited time, short questions (need to spend time to write throughly to get full marks) and 1 research paper. If you write good paper, you are good to go. She is very helpful, explains what she wants during class. I ended up A.
Dr. Perez is awesome. She is so smart and she makes the class very interesting. I took her hybrid class. You end up writing every week but you write on very interesting topics. Take her.
Had her for online course this Summer. Very clear. Gave us examples and always responded to e-mail.
Had her for online course this Summer. Gave us examples and always responded to e-mail.
She knows what shes doing. Take her.
She is good. She relates the class to your life. I have learned alot.
She is so good. Very passionate about Government and she always made it interesting. Class went by way too fast. I always wanted to stay longer. One of the best classes I have ever taken.
she was really excited about the subject. i took her hybrid class and she was so easy to understand and available for help when needed. Awesome teacher
Super Easy! Very enthusiastic teacher who really enjoys her job. Last minute, signed up and I took the Hybrid class. NO TESTS!! and No Finals!! Just 1 weekly quiz and 1 short answer response (short paragraph) a week. Awesome Class!!
She is super clear. I am also in the hybrid class. We have to write and write and write each week, but the topics are interesting. Take her if you want to learn a lot on a Tuesday morning. You Rock Professor Perez.
She is easy to follow and easy to approach if you have questions. She is "facetious" and knows how to manage class time well.
She is good.
I took her online course and I really liked the way it was structured. For the each test she has a study guide with about 70 questions from which the 50 exam questions will be drawn. The discussion forums are easy once you get the hang of it and she gives good feedback so you know how to improve. Read the textbook and it's an easy A.
The writing intensive part wasn't that bad had to answer and response to 5 forums and points were deducted for no participation. But tests came straight from the study guides. Fairly easy.
One of my favorite professors of all time. Hybrid class is awesome, only a day of class per week although you have to write two short answer responses + a quiz each week- NO TESTS. I enjoy this class so much, I actually wish the class was longer and this is someone who wasn't interested in govt! TAKE HER! Thank you Dr Perez, you're awesome!
She was wonderful! I would love to take the class again! Super, super helpful! All you had to do was shoot her an email and she would reply within minutes! I took the hybrid class and she made it all super understandable and easy to follow along. Defiantly would recommend this class to all of my friends. It was wonderful!
LOVED this class and teacher. Perez is brilliant and very very nice lady. She takes pride in her teaching and cares about her students. I would recommend getting the book just as a reinforcer and to supplement the study guide. I would re-take this class if I could!
I am now taking her class. I hated Gov and Hist so much. I am not even form US and didn't go to any of the US high school...don't have any knowledge about either US Gov or Hist....She is awesome, amazing, helpful, energetic, responsible...and so many good adjective you name it ....
I too am currently taking her class. I am only taking it because it is required. Wow- I was in for a surprise. She really knows her stuff! She is extremely professional, makes the subject fun and is so approachable. I highly recommend her.
Professor Perez is awesome.
YES! AMAZING! Take this prof for every class she teaches! The subject is dry but she makes the book come to life.
Wow! I cannot convey the respect I have for this professional and helpful professor. She is organized, passionate, and clear with her subject. She makes the subject applicable for you, is often humorous, and will help you with everything. I loved her lectures, always made the maximum credit on her short and interesting papers, and the tests doable.
I took her online course and loved her.The tests can be a little difficult if you don't study long, but doing the review she gives you and reading the pages helps so much! She will help with anything and doesn't reply the typical sarcastic "your dumb" comment to you. Very positive and the discussion forums are easy! great class! 4 tests and 5 forum
The few assignments are manageable with the regular course schedule. Her study guides make the 4 tests easy. Detailed prompts make the 5 discussion forums easy to research. Studying took a few hours per week. At the end of the term when I was 5 cumulative points away from the "A" cut-off, she stuck by her no-extra-credit policy and I got a B. :>/
Professor Perez is an amazing teacher!! She responds extremely fast to emails, usually within 10 or 15 minutes. This course requires lots of memorization for the exams, so study those guides big time! The online course is tough, but if you work hard you'll succeed with flying colors. I got an A, but definitely put the work in. She's exceptional!
She is awesome! Take her for any course you can. She is easy to communicate with and is quick to respond to emails. The exams require that you do the study guides and know them well, but if you do the guides you will do fine on the tests. Do the study guides and discussion forms and you will be happy with your grade. I ended up with a A.
Took the online summer course. Tests were easy - Mostly based on the definitions highlighted throughout the book. A thorough essay response to a question was required every two weeks, with a follow up response to a classmates essay. Her syllabus and grading rubric were clear, though in dire need of a proofreader. Boring as hell, but required.
I took the DL 8 week class. I got an easy A as long as you complete her study guides you'll do good on the test. The test follow the guides completely, at the end of each test the last question usually is relating a concept learned to a current event or politician - kind of unexpected so keep up to date. She responds to emails fast.
She was awesome! Do study guides, study them (I did about 2 complete hours) and you'll do good on test. Complete discussion boards... I took 8 week DL class and got a pretty easy A. She responds quickly to emails!
Professor Perez is AWESOME! I 100% recommend her!
Best teacher i have had at ACC so far, explains things very well and is very interested in what she does. I am not a fan of government, so i was iffy going into this class but she completely changed my perspective. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.
She's the best teacher I've ever had at any level. Attend the lectures if you want to get an 'A.' Amazingly, she somehow she makes them interesting. She gives a lot of info not in the book. She hands out a study guide for the textbook. You don't need to read anything that is not on the study guide. Tests are about 50/50 lectures vs. text.
She is Awesome!, attend class, do the study guides and you'll make and A, she gives very interesting lectures, I learned a lot, would definitely take her again!
Professor Perez is AMAZING. She will give you study guides, she gives crystal clear lectures in order for you to have the best notes to study from. she does require 4 essays but they are super short and easy. she gives the prompt. She is the best teacher i highly recommend her. she makes class interesting and she will help you to succeed.
Simply AMAZING prof! Concise. Replies quickly to emails. Posts test grades usually two days after. There are four easy short essays, to which she provides the prompts at the beginning of the class. Doesn't post powerpoint slides to blackboard so you have to show up to class. As long as you show up to all classes, you'll get an A.
Professor Perez is AMAZING. She has crystal clear lectures on PowerPoint, make sure you attend class. Take good notes. 4 tests, NOT comprehensive. 50/50 notes & textbook reading. She gives out study guides for the tests. There are 4 essays 1 page long. Responds to e-mails & posts grades quickly. Class is very interesting. I highly recommend her!
This lady is THE TEACHER. she is GREAT Teacher. do the study notes and review class notes and don't miss a class you will get knoledge and A
I love This professor. She gives feedback on every paper and your class performance. I took an 8 week class, very fast-paced and I loved it. She keeps everyone engaged through discussions, her tests are based on the book and the study guide she provides.
I would say she doesn't seem interested in here online class. I hear she's fantastic in person, but online she's distant. She didn't provide much clarity and when Blackboard had a technical errors, she was too quick to blame the online students or be assumptive about them being lazier or less prepared. Her tests were challenging and very specific.
Professor Perez is great. Took her online. She always e-mailed me back and offered feedback for every forum. Unlike my History class I always got a response from her. Awesome. Clear. To the point.
She has a great way of making things clear. If you take her class early in the morning, be ready to be woken up! She's very lively and interactive, but great!!
She just basically lectures, her powerpoints are just for show and you can't print them. Also you have to read the book and teach yourself, because he lectures have nothing to do with her tests. & she gives a writing prompt before every exam and half the test if free response
I took this class online. Prof Perez was extremely helpful and kind. Responded to all emails and assisted students in any way possible. there were 4 50 questions MC tests that were straightforward if you do the review (not that long either). The rest of the grade was determined by discussion posts that had very clear grading criteria.
Took her online over the summer. Great class but be prepared to study HARD for an A. Do the reviews and you will pass MC tests. Lisa is VERY HELPFUL and quick with responding to emails. Gives great feedback. Is NOT flexible with grading: you get what you get. Follow instructions, read TB, study and you will pass. Loved her class. Worked for my A!
She is so nice and so helpful. If you have any questions she gets back to you right away. She has lots of energy which is good for a 9am class!
Amazing lectures ! Best way of teaching she makes you learn in all kinds of ways
Professor Perez is the best! She is very passionate and makes the class worthwhile. If you read and show up to class, you will pass without a doubt. She caring and will give great feedback. 4 essays, 4 tests. Pretty simple.
Dr. Nichols is just amazing. She is the bomb at teaching. Wish there were more professors like her. She teaches class with a supplementary PowerPoint. She uses all the methods of learning. For example, she draws for visual learners. She is AMAZING. Really is pro-student, wants to see students thrive. The test are challenging (require you to study)
Dr. Perez is the bomb She is smart and funnier than the El Arroyo marquee in Austin. I have learned about the subject and about life in general from her. Take her if you want to get a full college experience.
Professor Perez was an amazing teacher. She brings such great energy to the class and makes it enjoyable for everyone. Her lectures are organized and she uses different teaching styles to reach all students. Grading and assignments are very clear and she gives reviews for the tests.
This class was fairly easy. The textbook was free and the professors give study guides for each exam. Know the study guide passing the test. Professor Perez-Nichols was very responsive via email and got my grades back in a timely manner. I would take another one of her classes if I needed to in the future.
I took the online class with no issues. The course objects are very clear and a layout of what will be on the test is given. A couple discussion boards and a couple tests that had to be taken at the testing center. Overall easy A.
I took her DL course and had no problem. She responded promptly to any questions or concerns that I had. My only advice would be to get ahead of the blackboard responses as she can be kind of a tough grader with regard to the responses and the last thing you would want is to be trying to do it last minute. Other than that she's a solid choice.
Take her!! She makes Government fun!
Tests are the only grades and they are hard. Read the book and do the study guides and you will be fine
I took her class Spring 2018 and I did like it. Granted, social studies is my weakest/least favourite subject, but it was... fun. I did start out poorly, making Cs & Bs, but ended the semester with a 92 on the exam. I recommend you take Lisas Government if it has been a challenge in the past. Not the easiest, but if you do the work, youll pass!
The tests were super easy and all of the questions were based off the study guide. The discussion posts and responses are an easy 100 if you put some effort and go by the rubric/sample she provides.
Favorite professor thus far, I regret taking her class in the morning because her lectures were usually interesting and occasionally funny. She had so much energy even in the morning and is inspiring. Highly recommend her.
Professor Perez is an amazing teacher! Her lectures are full of info & she tells you plainly what will be on the tests. Reading the textbook is a big thing because not everything is in the lectures. Theres honestly not that much reading in the text book. Great feedback & awesome energy. And always very helpful in and out of the classroom!
Such a wonderful teacher!! Shes so Pro-student and would do anything to make sure you pass!!! Class is super easy!! And its actually very interesting!!
Shes an amazing professor! Her lectures are so fun and interesting!she has an amazing attitude and keeps you awake! We had a textbook but it was for free online! Her test were easy as long as you did the review and took notes! I 10/10 recommend!
Professor Perez is amazing! Her lectures are clear and entertaining. I looked forward to her class every week. She does four tests and no comprehensive final. Additionally there are four short essays that are super easy. If you have the chance to take a class from her do it!
Took this class 8wk online and I wk FT and made an easy A. 4 tests & 5 discussion boards. Do the study guides and study them and you will do well on tests. She is very responsive, gives fast feedback on discussion boards & gives encouragement along the way. Take her class!
She is by far the best professor at ACC. She understands a students plight and tries her best to work around it. Her lectures are easy to follow and the tests are really easy.
She is amazing. Not a single complaint. Homework is manageable. Syllabus is very clear and explains exactly what she does. No loop holes. Her class are entertaining, easy to follow and easy to study. If you use her study guide and notes, the test are easy; she emails back quick and holds her office hrs.
Best Professor Ever. She is very clear about what is going to be on her Exams. Makes Government Easy To Understand
She is not so bad, tests are easy, but her discussion boards are pure torture. This is a mandatory class, and the content is inherently boring to me. So, having such specific and detailed discussion boards only made me dislike politics and gov. more. I would've preferred loose topic choices, so I could find something that interested me.
Took class online. Test were straightforward. The discussion boards had us writing on all sorts of topics that do tie into the readings. I found them interesting.
Professor Perez is great. She once did a lecture around the quote "spun on a dime." Then we had to because of Covid. She organized it all and had us going online quickly. She even followed up when I got booted out of my dorm because of virus. I am thankful for her help.
She is one of the best professors I have had so far. She is very prompt in answering questions and will help you with assignments till you get it right. Corrects multiple drafts of the essay. Her assignments are usually straight forward but they will get you thinking and put you to work.
Took the asynchronous class. I accidentally overslept an exam deadline, and she allowed me to take the test afterwards. Discussion prompt deadlines are strict, however. Gives good feedback on discussions. Do the study guide reviews for the exams and you should do well! I'd recommend creating a group chat for the class. Wonderful teacher overall! :)
Class taken- 8 week course in Fall'21 semester. The class expectations are very straight forward. She has 4 exams and 4 Discussion posts that are required. She provides you with study guides and so long as you complete them before the test, you should do well on the exams. I forgot to complete a discussion post, which is why I received a B+.
Didn't get the chance to even take her class because I was dropped for not completing the first assignment even though I did. I pleaded with her to let me take the class and she refused, no empathy and I didn't get a full refund :/
Professor Perez-Nichols was an excellent government teacher! She made expectations regarding grading quite clear, and gave amazing feedback for the required papers (written assignments). This class had a very nice balance of written assignments and multiple-choice tests, and together provided a nice learning experience.
I would recommend to take her class. Be ready to read the textbook and I would say to studying and the test are going to be easy. I enjoyed this class, it was pretty easy. She gives good feedback, and it's nice feedback.
She has a very fun personality. Slides are horrible for visual learners because they are majority one-worded. She also doesn't provide slides after the lesson. Her homework is very easy, but the quizzes are over the textbook which she does not talk about in class or what we do in the homework. Her tests are easy if your notes are good.
Not much to say. Interactions were rough, Class seemed unnecessary
Professor Perez used slides, the board, examples, maps, visuals and the front row to deliver the info. Weekly court cases. Reading quiz is open for weeks to complete. Zoomed with Prof and tutor is also available. THX Professor
amazing teacher, friendly with students, tests that value understanding over memorization.
She encouraged me and now I am a lawyer for a Fortune 500. She is smart, passionate, and willing to share what she knows. Professor Perez changes lives. Don't hesitate to take her.
Ms. Perez is incredibly easy to talk to and work with. I'm a high school student taking multiple APs with not much time on my hands, it was easy for me to slip up. When I missed a test, she opened it up for me and give me full credit for it. Its so rare to see teachers so giving and kind. Not to mention her detailed feedback. She's awesome!
Professor Perez has been one of the best professors i've had yet. shes amazing at teaching and keeping you tuned into topics. She makes instruction clear and easy for students to understand. Take notes throughout lectures and study it!!
3-4 things due per week. Gives feedback on research within hours of the assignment closing. Really enjoyed class and would take it again.
Took her 5-week summer course, was extremely easy and had such ample time to do so little of assignments it was kind of crazy. Graded by minimal amount of assignments: video quizzes, packback disscusions, and 4 exams (MC). The discussions took more time to do, but were easy. Take this if you want a chill US Gov class.
This online GOVT class was clearly laid out. It made it easy to know what to do. The videos were current and I liked interacting with my class on different topics in the posts. Responsive Prof and I would take this class again.
I took her US Government class for this summer's semester. There's an online textbook, so you have to be prepared for reading before taking exams and to stay on topic with discussions. She gives amazing feedback on discussions and I'd take her class again because it was fun posting my discussions.
Professor was very easy to work with, No lockdown browser, fully open note, heres the schedule: So you have a video assignment, then something called packback (1 response to a discussion question and 2 responses to other peoples responses in the board), and then the module exam, only 4 of these.
Lectures are very hard to follow, lot's of rambling and spent several class sessions explaining "why she teaches the way she does" rather than focusing on content. Through the first several classes we had covered almost no material at all and were pretty unprepared for assignments
Professor Perez is the best. It is lecture heavy and she is very knowledgeable. She lets students ask questions and seems to keep everyone in mind. Visuals used, stories used to deliver info. Good morning class.
Honestly probably one of the best professors she's very funny and very knowledgeable I would say take good notes. Get there on time she will say what she went over the last lecture and use that to study most likely it will be on the test.
