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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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
