Great teacher, take her for sure.
E-A-S-Y "A"
Lynda is by far one of the best teachers in the psych. department. If you work hard you will get the grade you deserve. Her class is interesting and she makes the terminology easy for you to understand. I would take another class from Lynda any day. I urge everyone to take a class from Lynda!

just thinking of taking a psyc class gave me a headache, that was until i got in to Mrs. "V" class, i enjoyed her class i actually learned something, and her exams r as easy as u want them to be. I enjoyed her so much that im taking another class with her. Good Job Mrs. "V"!!!!
dang!!!Mrs.V is funny and she is very open to the class.She talks about sex openly when it relates to psychology.She has 4 tests and drops 1.you can skip the last test if ur happy with ur first 3.The class is fun even if ur not interested in psyc.she is really hot(if she looses just a little weight)
Ms.V is so cool. She is very Easy and funny as well. She makes her class very interesting. you have got to take her for Psyc 2344. EASY A
best psych class ive ever had, one of the best profs in the psych dept (with bott being the best in science dept =P), her class is interesting even though the subject isn't. If you have a stressful semester this class will help you relieve it, plus shes a HOTTIE.
ms v is a bad ass teacher...one of the best ive EVER had...
Mrs. V is the best damn professor ever. Take her for intro to psych...all psych classes if u can. She is nice and will give u good grades if u try.
Great teacher. 3 tests m.c. (lowest dropped) and 2 papers (4-5 pages and 5-7 pages). Counts as intensive writing course. She is amusing and fun. Often let us out early. She brings her dogs to class. She's currently a graduate student herself. You get to watch "Office Space" in class. Take her!
she's a great prof. cept she picks favorites in class, and than she brings em up on tests and talks bout em all the time (we dont really wanna hear bout some random person), otherwise shes too awesome.
I love Mrs.V ! Her class is very fun. We talk about interesting things and she usually lets the class out 30 mins before class ends. Anyone can get a A in her class. Her grading is very leniant. There is no final exam. Take her for as much classes as you can!!!
Easy, fun, and made class interesting and learned stuff. Wish she taught every psychology class.
Villanueva was great! She made class fun and interesting. There were 2 tests and 2 papers.
no need to say more, just like everyone said :)
Ms. V is still the best teacher here. She has a way of making the class more fun than it really is. She let us watch "Office Space" too.
Awesome class guys! 3 Tests, lowest gets dropped, 2 rather easy papers (one about cultural event, one about movie), very linient with grading, very very nice. Awesome, I had fun in class! Everytime! If you can, take her!
Best teacher at UH...we'll miss you Ms. V
Hands down awesome teacher. Tests are usually from lecture so take good notes. Book isnt necessary (received an A in IO and Cult) Go to class and do extra credit and get decent grades and you will be happy with the result. She makes the class interesting.
it was her first time teaching methods for fall 07. had her on saturdays for three hours. she's hilarious. class was somewhat challenging but she puts herself out there to help as much as she can.she doesn't use the plus/minus system so an A is 4.0.
Great teacher! Turns the most boring subject around and makes it entertaining! Tests are fairly easy, but papers take a lot more work. Show up to class to do well on tests.
its a hard class overall, but shes the only easy teacher. she has take home exams that are straight from her powerpoint notes. its a lot of writing, but its just required in any psych 2301, shes prob. the only best teacher to choose from. Take her. she even has youtube examples, and shes funny. she takes her chihuahua to the classroom.
Took her for I/O on saturdays for 3 hrs weekly! She was awesome, very interactive, great tools to teach such as allowing us to take part in some of the studies done in the workplace for hiring. Also, her tests are take home and from her powerpoint slides that she mails to you through email. Only downfall is she curses alot.
I just took her for methods and she was the best teacher that i have ever had. she is an easy teacher that makes methods actually very interesting. if you, ever need to take methods, definetly take it with her. the test are take home and the articles are easy because she really helps , if one has a problem with it. SHE IS THE GREATEST!!!
Dr. V is an AMAZING proff! If you do all of the work then you are pretty much guaranteed an A or B in the class. Even if you do poorly on the exams, she offers plenty of extra credit to make it up. She has take home exams and her lectures are posted online. She is real helpful if you need help understanding anything. I highly recommend taking her!!
From my experience, all the good things that are said about her are true. I took this class in the Spring of 08, and I recommend her to anyone.
if you are stupid then you would probably make a B, man it is straight A class. she is super helpful, I recommend her to anyone
The last person who rated Dr. Villanueva is crazy. Dr. Villanueva is the BEST professor at UH. She works with students and really cares about them. Moreover, her chihuahua, Ms. Dottie-Lou, is the prettiest chihuahua in the history of the world. If you are looking for a world class and world class professor take Dr. Villanueva!!!!!!!!!! She rocks!
All you need is a book and attend her lectures to get straight A.8 discussions and 3 exams+5% xtra crdt.You will have a week to complete Exams online and you may use book and notes.BOOK IS VERY IMPORTANT TO WORK ON EXAMS & DISCUSSIONS.
Easy A. Took Saturday class. Only went to 2 class meetings. Read notes, skim chapters, and do the work. Very easy work. Offers plenty of help & extra credit.
DR. V is so cool. I got a B+ in the class. The TA who grades the work will make you mad sometimes. There are 3 exams all done on WebCT you have 5 or 6 days to complete them there is a paired assignment and 1 group project (choose your group members wisely)
i/0 psyc online was great. You answer discussion topics and replies every week. Short and interesting Lectures on Youtube. Enthusiastic professor.Extra credit offered. 3 exams online so you can use ur book/notes/lecture vids. 1 group project...usually a paper...submit it early so they can give feedback. Got an A!
Great teacher. Explains everything very clearly and is very fair.
3 exams. You'll have days to do them but they are not intuitive. You have to study. Plenty of extra credit. 3 papers that you will learn a lot from. You can work with other people for your paper. I didn't but did well on them. She cares for her students and wants them to succeed. Her great teaching style is evident from my 103% for the class.
dr v is funny, caring, & awesome. class was rather easy, we had alot of *virtual days* 3 test and 3 projects... plus alot of extra credit...attendance is somewhat mandatory... overrall best prof for this subject
Great class, amazing professor. This should be the primary Writing in the Disciplines course.
Great Professor. Very helpful, and answers emails or messages quickly. Straight forward class, nothing tricky. She is the easiest teacher for methods. The tests are online and one quiz in class. Easy A
SHE IS THE BEST PSYC. PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!!Attendance is not mandatory, but helps your grade. Read the textbook. 3 tests, 1 writing assignment..AWESOME class.
Took her for 3310 & 2301. Got A?s in both courses. Lectures are heavy in information, but she provides helpful power points, loves her field & teaches it damn well. Test answers are right out of the books. She?s hilarious, so class is never a bore, always replies to emails, NICE curves tests.
Great class! I took her online and it is probably my best grade this semester. Three tests and one paper. Test questions are literally out of the lectures so you must watch them. You also have to make sure you post discussion questions and responses every week.Don't wait until the last minute to do the paper either. Trust me! Easy upper-level class
She is the best and easiest teacher to take! Her test are straight out of her short&interesting lectures on youtube. I never had to read the book. Usually there are a few questions on the test from the book, but they are easy to find when you skim through the chptrs. 3 tests are so simple and so easy and straightforward! LOVE HER! Paper is also eas
Awesome online class. Workload is really light: online discussions weekly based off youtube lectures. 3 open book/note tests based directly off the book & lecture, and 1 straightforward paper. She can ignore discussion board questions, but is good w/ emails. Interesting material, and a very easy A. Definitely take as a psych elective & GPA booster.
Made intro to methods fun! So glad I took her! Wonderful prof! Final grade A
Took this class online, great "A" elective for ALL majors. Watched youtube lectures, didn't read the book, test from power points and definitions from book. She makes the lectures interesting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I took I/O Psyc online during the summer. Dr. V puts up nice lecure videos and powerpoint slides on the site, so you pretty much do not need to read the book. The exams were straight forward and you have plenty of time to flip through the book if you're stuck on something. Dr. V cares about her students and it shows. She also is passionate about IO
Prides herself on being an easy A, which is kind of insulting to her students, if you ask me. Lots of days off ("virtual days") and lectures usually let out way early. This is a self-study class. If that works for you, great. I prefer a regular, thorough lecture, not so much dependence on the internet. I would have taken someone else if I had known
I loved this class! It was an easy a! There's online lecture powerpoints, 3 exams and one project. Very easy! We get 3 hours to take the exam so it's not bad! I seriously had my baby girl on Friday, took the exam Saturday at the hospital and got a 96! I would take this class again!
This class is definitely an easy A. The professor is very nice and has a great personality. If you are interested in a professor that's hands on and gives alot of feedback, take another course. If you work will on your own, she is the best to take this courcse with.
I recommend taking this professor. She is helpful and friendly. She makes the material interesting and easy to understand.
I took her hybrid class for I/O. She gives alot of time for exams so you can look in the book and the powerpoint notes she put up on blackboard. The exams are not that easy though and are kind of a pain. She has a movie project that i recommend doing ahead of time because it's time consuming. She's a pretty cool teacher & the class is easy to pass
She's extremely helpful, got an A in her class and 100 on my paper, the papers only like 6 pages I think and I took the 4 week online summer class. Just watch the videos and keep the book next to you during the 3 hour online tests and you have no excuse to not pass. She seems very helpful and understanding as well but never saw her in person
She was easy-going, funny too. Her material is very straightforward, not hard.
She is by far the most helpful professor ever! I was initially very unsure of taking this class online and during the summer but she definitely makes it impossible not to pass her class. The textbook was necessary and I received an A in the class. She is awesome!
Super easy. Take online. # hrs to take 60 MC test. A paper on a movie analyzing topics from class. Discussion posts are the most work every week. Easy but make sure to write well to get full credit. Videos are on Youtube and good quality. Straightforward and easy A. Use poweerpoint on test and write page numbers to help out.
Took her for methods and she is the best. I was apprehensive at first because it was a Saturday class, and who wants to be on campus on a Saturday. But she made class easy and enjoyable. Cancelled a lot of classes so we could enjoy our weekends.Take her absolute must. Grades pretty easy and you can use your notes on tests.
I had thought this class would of been easier than it was based on the reviews. The weekly dicussions and paper is easy, but the test are tricky. I personally dislike tricky multiple choice queston. If you have a hard time with these type of questions, I recommend someone else.
She is one of the best professors in that department. She makes everything so easy and she is funny. Her exams are kind of tricky but she is more then willing to help.
Hybrid I/O-VERY HELPFUL. She is understanding and will do whatever to make sure you'll do great in her class. Textbook a MUST for her tests!Don't be afraid to tell her what you're stuggling on. She will figure something out to help your grade. VERY CHILL AND GREAT PROFESSOR.
The best! She is one of University of Houston's best professors. She really cares for the students, never looking to have you do bad. She wants the best out of all her students. Need more professors like her.
Dr. V is the best professor ever! Although it was supposed to be a face to face class, she turned it into a hybrid since she knows no one wants to be at school on a Saturday morning! She is extremely helpful and you can even text her if you have any questions! Tests are online and you have 3 hours to do 50 questions. 2 papers...easy A, TAKE HER!!!
Dr. V is a wonderful professor. THE easiest professor you will get with this course. She is very helpful and is very accessible in case you need answers to questions. Tests are reasonable and she teaches the class in a way you will understand. I HIGHLY suggest you take her!
Dr. V is the real deal!! She is an amazing professor and a realist. She understands people and the fact people make mistakes. Very helpful and you will learn a lot from her not only the psych part. Great person great professor. TAKE HER YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED
Dr. V is cool & down to earth. However, she's not much of a professor. She's very vague with directions and expects you to know everything. In class, she rarely talks about class material and instead talks about unnecessary information. Assignments are complicated, tests are tricky, etc. If you like to teach yourself, take this class or else flee!
She prides herself in being "the easiest methods professor at UH". Her Sat. class is like a hybrid one, only came to campus 6 times & got attendance pts. There are 3 online exams that are tricky, but you get to use your notes & book. The other grades are 2 assignments & a final research proposal where you can work on in a group. Max 30 pts SONA!!!
Saturday hybrid class. super laid back teacher. easy grader and more than fair. lets the class decide when assignments were due or if more time was needed. Highly recommend. Fun class activities. actually enjoyed coming to class. Easy A.
Took Saturday hybrid class back to back with her I/O class. Highly recommend. great teacher. more than fair. 10 page paper was time consuming and tests were hard but it's open book with plenty of time. Can't say enough positive things about Ms. Villanueva! Take her classes.
Don't take this class if you actually want to learn. Horrible professor. Worst there is at UH. She is fake all around. Cancels class all the time too. Take someone else, learn, and get your moneys worth. An "A" is meaningless if you don't learn.
This professor really cares about her students. Her class is fun and interesting and you learn a lot. She is very fair with her students. Take her for Methods for sure you will not regret it
loved her! she is super nice and helpful! she only has 6 in class meetings for her hybrid classes and theyre not lectures but fun in class activities. it was never a drag showing up to her class on a saturday afternoon!
AMAZING PROFESSOR. I wish she taught every psychology course at UH. She is easy and too cool. Please take her for IO Psych as well. I took Hybrid on Saturdays and its a breeze. She is very understanding. Her lectures online are great and short!
So, Dr. V is really easy like everyone has mentioned. Which for me, was great because I'd had a really tough semester with my other classes. I took the hybrid course, and some have said attendance wasn't mandatory but 14 of your grade is based on attendance so show up. It's only 6 classes and they only last about an hour.
I took Dr. V's Industrial-Organizational Psychology as an online class. It was fairly easy, and her online lectures are excellent. Just be sure to stay on top of your work, and don't BS the weekly postings and responses, she grades somewhat tough on those. I had never contacted her about my grade, and somehow came out with an A. Great teacher.
Took class online. Prof keeps online lectures short and to the point. 3 exams and 3 assign. weighted equally. Written papers are harder, but if you follow the format of previous papers, lots of ex. provides, you will have no problem. The first assignment is due 6 or 7 weeks into the course, and each assign. thereafter is every 3 weeks. Weird.
Dr. V is a funny teacher. I took the hybrid course on Saturday and it is one of those classes that can be easily forgotten about during the week. Do not wait until last minute to do assignments because they are long and tedious. There are 3 tests and 3 papers. There are also online lectures that have to be watched for tests. Tests are pretty simple
Every student wants to learn, but sometimes you want an easy class that counts towards your degree and boosts your gpa...... THIS IS IT! Super easy class! Easy assignments! Easy tests! I actually learn the material better when I'm not stressed by the work load. This professor needs to be cloned and teach all the psych classes! I LOVE DR V!
I took her online classes this summer for Methods and IO. Overall, they were pretty easy. 3 assignments in methods but she allowed us to work in groups. There were 3 tests in both classes which were also pretty easy. She is not an easy A though. She is somewhat of a hard grader but I'd definitely take her again.
Dr. Villanueva is a fantastic professor. Three tests, three papers and plenty of extra credit opportunities. Her hybrid class meets every other Saturday to do activities and discussions. TAKE HER CLASS!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!
Take Dr. Villanueva for Industrial-Organizational Psychology! Her hybrid I-O class meets every other Saturday for activities. There are three online exams and one essay about a movie. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! :)
Dr. V is amazingggggg!!! She is very understanding if you talk to her about a grade or a test! She cares a lot about her students and wants all of them to pass. lots of extra credit! Her tests are not super easy but using the book will help a lot. Highly recommended!
TAKE THIS CLASS.
This is possibly the easiest writing in the disciplines class you can take. The videos are clear and concise, the tests are almost word for word from the notes and power points. Read them over before you begin the exams and you're golden! Fun movie project to conclude the semester :)
There were 3 real assignments during the semester and I got A's on all of them. Easy grader and the tests weren't too bad. The best part is she provides random extra credit! For showing up, for doing what you're supposed to do anyway, just because she is in a great mood, all kinds of extra credit! I would definitely recommend.
amazing professor, easy class took her for methods
I have taken her for Into to Methods. I had to take her again for I/O Psychology. I LOVE HER! Since the class is hybrid, we don't have to go class every Saturday but you need to read the assigned reading & look at PP. 3 tests-ONLINE OPEN BOOK/NOTES. A movie review needs to be done (min. 5 pages) & extra credit is available. TAKE her! Easy A!
This professor is great! I took this course online and it is very manageable, not a lot of work involved. There are 3 essays (can work in groups) for the lab portion of the course and 3 or 4 exams for the actual course. She uploads the lecture videos and powerpoints and the exams are directly reflective. She is awesome!
You have to show up to class for attendance, but she lets you out after the first hour. Her tests are pretty easy. The only downside is we have to write a 5 page paper, but it really wasn't that bad! She also would randomly give us extra points on our exams. If you want an easy A, take her!
Dr Villanueva is a great professor! Even through her online section, she is very resourceful and organized. The class is not hard, just watch her youtube powerpoint lectures and participate in the discussion posts weekly!
She is so awesome. I took her on Saturdays, she cares about you. Everyone. She is so funny! Take her, you wont regret it. I did not like IO Psyc but I made an A. She makes it worth it,
Methods w Prof Villanueva was an easy online summer class (made an A)! 3 exams and 3 papers. Exams are very easy and papers could be written w/ a group and consisted of an article review, Literature review and a Final Proposal. One thing is theres no way to receive a lot of extra credit during summer as it is all SONA and there aren't many studies.
She is a gem. Absolutely adore this professor, after taking her industrial organizational psychology class i wanted to be an IO psychologist! she is very interesting to listen to, do the work and you will make an A.
She hands out extra credit like its candy! I absolutely love her! I'm taking her Saturday hybrid 2301 course and she's amazing. Do assignments in group or by yourself. We had 1 APA quiz, 1 article review which is 3 pages, 1 lit review which is 4 pages and final research proposal which is 5-7 pages. Attendance isn't mandatory, she's hilarious.
Easy class and SONA credit up to 30 points! There are three EASY exams and three papers. You can do the papers as a group project or as an individual. TA grades easy. Super interesting and informational class, a must take. Lovely prof who cares about you and your grade.
Dr. Villanueva is a really caring professor. Her online lectures were well presented, and she offers tons of extra credit, so it's really hard to not earn an A in Methods!
Took as Saturday class. 3 exams; 1 quiz; 3 papers; attendance mandatory (but we only met 6 times the whole semester). She randomly gives extra credit, so show up! Great teacher, but TA grades hard. However, Prof V. boosted our grade for paper 1 since TA graded hard. Not sure about the others since those haven't been turned in yet. Take her! :)
Literally the best class ever. She gives extra credit just for people showing up to class. I think I got 30 points extra credit for going to all 6 sessions. Oh, and half of the session are "virtual class" meaning you don't have to go! There are 3 exams and a 5 page paper on a movie. Oh and don't buy the book, there's an online copy! She's great!
Very easy class if you see online lectures plus skim through reading. Her exams are straight out of her lectures and sometimes the book. Very easy grading criteria for the 3 essays and you can work in groups if you want!
Great
She is a very funny, nice, and a really easy teacher. Everybody should take her! Especially if you have the saturday classes with her, you're not required to go every week. You only go 6 times and she gives you extra credit sometimes. I finished the semester with an excellent grade. It is an easy A!!
She's very nice and easy, I had her for saturday class and in total we only went for 5 days. If you go to class she will give you 20 extra points. But if you go to class just write your name and leave the class is pointless and you will be waisting your time:) you can find the answers to the test online, overall this class is easy.
Easy A as long as you do your work and stay on top of your readings. She allows you to work in groups for essays, and exams are open note. She also makes sure that we understand the material and checks up on us. Also offers SONA extra credit.
I took the hybrid Saturday class. Loved her teaching style! Tests are open note/ open book - online at home which is a privilege I am very thankful for! She has lecture videos, we only do activities in class. She allows 30pts extra credit if you need it. There are 3 tests and 1 project. No final, just chapter exam. I highly recommend this course!
Very Easy. 8 Discussions (300 words) that are pre-posted at the beginning of the semester. 3 Tests whole semester, no LockD (;. 1 Movie Project at the end. Book can be found online, but you dont really need it.
BEST TEACHER EVER
Took class online. Writing and participation heavy, BUT super easy! A lot of extra credit work! Amazing professor and she cares about her students success! Take EVERY Class she offers if you need them!
Super sweet professor! Easy A if you do the work and extra credit.
Very easy class and an amazing professor. She is very kind and caring. The workload for this class is also very light. You will have to post in the discussion board every week and also submit a few essays. You have the option to pair up with a few people to work on the essays. The tests in this class are also extremely easy.
Dr. V is a great Professor! if you take a Saturday class, you must show up for credits(much needed). 4 exams, you will need to study not all exams are easy. 2 papers start as soon as you can, they are time consuming, you can work alone or in a group of 3.
Hands down the best professor i have EVER had. I took her for Research Methods which is supposed to be an extremely touch class and i got an A. She allows group work, all exams are open book/note/etc. Just not open person and she has such a great personality. Took her for Saturday's and she only asked us to come to class 4x. TAKE HER!!!!
Hands down the BEST professor I have EVER had. She is extremely realistic about the material she is teaching and decides to NOT make the hardest Psychology classes all that hard at all. Only asks you to show up on Saturday's 4-5x for the semester to get points. Tells you tests are open everything but open person. YOU WILL REGRET NOT TAKING HER!
She's a great and caring professor. Took her Saturday class; only met 3 times this semester. Class consist of 3 exams, 3 assignment, and 1 very easy quiz. She gave us so many extra credit points for attendance. Her class is very easy if you do your work. You may also work in groups for the 3 assignments.
Overall the Professor was great but your grades on essays really depends on the TA. The TA I got was slightly condescending. Overall the class was easy you just have to give yourself time to finish the essays. 3 tests and 3 essays and SONA extra credit
