LAST EXAM WAS HORRIBLE.SPECIALLY TRUE AND FALSE QUESTION ON LOVE WITHDRAW, POWER, ETC.I HOPE HE DROP THIS 5 QUESTIONS.THE WHOLE CLASS FELT THE SAME.
Horrible exam on 11/22/04.Need to go over with the class on the examples of power, love withdrawn ,etc. I knew the concept, but just the way he presented was not clear.I discuss them with my fellow students and they all felt the same way.
great professor!

Extremely easy teacher. You do not have to go to class or buy the book. He gives only three test and the last one was a take home test. Only problem that I had is that all he does is write on the board and I found it hard to write and understand what he was saying. I got a "C" because I didn't study the notes but If you study you will;l pass. Very
Dr. Garcia really knows his stuff! What a pleasure it is to be in a class with a teacher who is well prepared, has knowledge of the subject, and is so easy to understand!

TEXTBOOK IS NOT NEEDED. HE WRITES NOTES ON THE BOARD THAT ONE MUST TAKE, SO ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. HIS ENGLISH IS VERY CLEAR AND HE ENUNCIATES PROPERLY SO HE IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I AM HISPANIC BUT I AM MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IN ENGLISH AND IT WAS A PLEASURE TO TAKE HIS CLASS. HIS CLASS IS ONLY EASY IF YOU ATTEND AND STUDY.
BEST TEACHER EVER, GREAT CLASS, EASY A

I love this prof!! He is soooo clear about what he teaches. This class is an easy A++!! You do not need the book for this class he writes the notes on the board.

Recommended.
He is just O.k. He is a nice person, good professor but... forget about extra credits or any chances if you did it bad in any exam.
One of the best professor I have ever had. You should have him as your professor.
he's the best , excellent teacher !!!
This is the class you should get if you want an A! hes awesome! He gives alot alot of notes. its important to study the notes, if you do you'll pass the class. study, remember and study more
Awsome teacher. He teaches very well. Knows his subjects. Goes totally by notes. and is very helpfull.Just study his note and you will do great! you wont regret his classes!
I love him ,This is the class you should get if you want an A! hes awesome! He gives alot alot of notes study the notes, and you will pass. Take him if you want to learn
I've had him before you will love him.. His test are EXACTLY what his lectures are so go to class he lets you out early and is easy on the eyes. Gives 3 test first 2 are in class and the 3rd is a take home again from the notes NO BOOK req. EASY A!
Mr. Many is an Excellent professor; however, his tests (which are three for the complete semester) are kind of trick. He wants you to think and apply what you learned to life. Don?t get me wrong, he is an excellent professor but in order to get an ?A? you need to read a lot or pay attention of what he says in class.
best proffessor i have had! straightforward and his tests are exactly his notes, if only ALL of my classes where this way
Excellent, his classes are so easy you don't even need the book. I kinda wish the class wasn't so short, he's VERY good, very funny and crystal clear when he's explaining everything. Take him, I highly recommend him.
he's the best! =DDD his classes are just like terapies!! u'll learn from every single word that comes out of his mouth!! very intelligent and helpfull. Tests-->> pieces of cake!! gotta love him!!
Many Garcia is the best in the whole MDC , Excellent professor super easy A , Three test in the whole semester.Test are EXACTLY what he talked on the lectures. Go to class,take notes and study them and you?ll do fine NO NEED FOR THE BOOK
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Manolo Garcia as your next professor!! He is the BEST MDC has in its collection!! The class is extremely short and simple. Everything he says is crystal clear and straight-forward. Also expect to take notes cuz you will really need them to study for the tests. You don't even need the book for this course!! You save money!!!
He's the best!!!!!!!!!!!! His class is super easy. There are only 3 tests in the whole semester and he gives reviews. super nice
GREAT PROFESSOR EVER!!!!EASY A. I LOVE THIS GUY. ALSO HE IS VERY CUTE!!!
you won't regret taking his class. He can teach. He cares about the students. And he's hot. what more do you want.
HE'S THE BEST.....can't say enough good things about him. I wish there were more professors like this. He really cares about his students and that they do well in his class. He gives 2 tests in class, the third and last test is done half at home and the other half in class. Got an A in his class. Don't buy the BOOK. AGAIN HE IS THE BEST.
Prof. Garcia is awesome. One of the best semesters i've had in a long time and I learned at the same time. Gives you 3 exams, and the last one is half take home, half in class. Everything he gives you on the notes is exactly whats on the exam. No bs like most profs. He gave me an A and would take him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Prof. Garcia!
Prof. Garcia is a very resourceful, respectful, knowledgeable, professional, and among many other positive things, HELPFUL & DEDICATIVE! He is worth every single second of the class. Best prof/mentor you can have. Even though i took him for HG&D, I would definitely take psychology with him. This man is an A+ 100%.
Very good professor!! Professional and comprehensive. I highly recommend him!
make sure you know all the notes he gives. and ask him for examples the second test is verrrrry tricky the one that can lower ur grade. remember the schedules for reinforcement ask for examples. the associate conditioning cs, cr, ucs, ucr. that why he gives extra credit b/c the 2nd test SUCKS you really need to know or u will be LOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
very easy AND TRICKY TEST LOTS OF EXAMPLES SO YOU NEED TO KNOW THE NOTES ASK HIM FOR EXAMPLES FOR SCHEDULE OF REIN FORCEMENT FOR 2ND TEST YOU MUST KNOW THE CONDITIONING ASSOSIATION NS, CS,CR,UCS,UCR, KNOW YOUR EXAMPLES VERY WELL OR YOU WILL BE FRUSTRATED THATS WHY THE EXTRA CREDIT B/C THE 2ND TEST IF YOU DONT KNOW IS A C FOR SURE SO THE A IS GONE.
I don?t why anyone would categorize Mr. Garcia as average. You have to be completely handicap to do that, or plain lazy! He is a great teacher with amazing professionalism. Well structure, superb and extremely patient with idiot students around him. He gives the students too many chance to get a decent grade in the class.
prof. garcia is awesome. very helpful,very professional. Ilove him.
I am not finished. No book required, just attend class and write all his notes down. He wouldn?t even drop you if you missed class. What professor does that? Like I said, you have to be a straight up MORON to make any negative comment about this professor, or fail his class!
great professor. got an A without freting on tests and learned a lot. He is very helpful and wise. He is outmached and you dont need a book. Need i say more...
Continuances: If you don?t like good professors with great teaching skills and would like to earn your degree without hard work, you?d consider attending the University of Phoenix. Two thumbs up on my behalf!
Great Teacher. One of the best MDC has to offer. Highly recommended. Classes are fun and interesting. No book required. Easy A. Wouldn't think twice about taking him again.
He is by far the best professor I have ever had. Just an excellent professor.
THE BEST. PERIOD.
He is the best, this is the second time I take him and its the second "A" I get. His class fills up quick, so do not hesitate to sign immediately for him. Take it from me you will love him.
HOW IS HIS CLASS?? HOW MANY HOMEWORKS?? TESTS? RESEARCH PAPER?? ESSAYS?? PRESENTATION??
Loved this class. I learned so much!! explains everything, has examples, and you dont need the book. test are rather easy if you study from the study guides.. looked foward going to class every time! will love the class!
HE IS AWESOME. no book needed. and you learn alot he is one of my fav i took him for human growth and now i am taking him again for psychology. you will only fail this class if you do not study. test r no surprise but u need to know th material.
Great teacher.... You can only fail this class if you are lazy. His lectures are crystal clear and so are his reviews for the test and best of all No Homework!!! A professor that you will truly learn from.
This professor is awesome! Makes everything so easy for you. You don't need book and he explain so well and with the review he sends for all test you will certainly gain an A! I specially loved this class because of my Psychology major, but anyways he is a piece of cake. Highly recommended :)
Class always passed very quickly with him. I looked for to his class, because his lectures are interesting and not too long. He knows what he's doing and talking about. He emails the power point slides and test reviews. As long as you study, you will pass with an A!
Had him once a week and he would always let us out at least an hour early. Didint use the book just took notes on everything he put on the board. Only three tests so you cant really do bad on any of them because it will affect your grade, just take notes and study
Super easy. he is really nice. he was very clear on everything. the tests were easy as long as you studied the notes. i didnt get the book. i passed the class with straight A's on his tests. great proff.
Great Professor, he explains everything so easy to understand. Take notes from class and that will be for the test. I highly recommend him.
BEST EVER !
This is a wonderful professor. He is very professional. As long as you read the notes you will be fine on your tests. I highly recommend him he is very sweet and cares about students!!! I give him an A++++ =)
He is a wonderful professor. Very helpful and professional. He cares about students and is willing to help you all the time. Read the notes and you should be fine.. I give him A++
He is the best professor, he is a wonderfull person and excellent professor.
He is the best. God bless you professor. You are the best.
He is the best professor. God bless you professor.
took him for abnormal psychology, had three test they were all on a curve. All of the tests are from power points that he e-mails you. Super easy this was my second class with him. Study from the review and you'll do great.
This guy is great. Very professional, and very clear about what he's teaching. E-mails you TONS of notes and lectures off same notes, which makes everything extra clear. This man WANTS you to get A's and do well. :) If you don't go to class and you don't study, your fault. Read your notes, go to class and you're GOLDEN.
He's an amazing professor :) im a psychology major and cant think of any other professor to learn from. he's extremely helpful and very educated. love him :)
Dr. Garcia as he calls himself, is just awesome. If you take his class you are definetely going to learn a lot. I learned things I didn't even know about the human body. Take him, it is really an interesting class.
He's crystal clear on what you need to learn. He makes sure to give a review every class of all his lectures. He does his work very well. He is what you call a teacher. For him its about the student not just a teacher that wants to get paid.
Dr.Garcia is such kind, and understanding professor. He really cares about teaching. You can observe his passion for his profession as he lectures the class. I enjoyed this class very much because he would explain the material using examples and was always happy to answer questions. Tests are easy because he sends you all the power points & reviews
Super great professor. You have to study buy everything that goes on test are in their power points. I recommend him 100%. He explains so good.
Only three test in the class, no homework. Do the test reviews and study for the test and you'll pass. A lot of information but simple class.
An awesome professor! Teaches very well and uses real life examples to relate to material being covered. As long as you study the guides you will pass the tests. He gives powerpoints for each chapter so you don't have to buy the book. Best professor I've had so far at Miami Dade :)
this professor is one of the few that really cares about teaching. he will give clear explanations about the topics and you can ask as many questions you need without problem. do not miss his class and you will get an A
One of the best professors. Very professional and educated. Really good personality which means able to help you and explain you over again. I am really happy I'm taking the class. Tests everything from PowerPoint and whatever he writes on the board.No way to fail it + he gives extra points.I wish all teachers were like prof. Manolo
I took this class during the evening once a week, so class was very long. He, however, makes this class fun and interesting and somehow manages to keep 95% of the class awake for over 2 hrs of continuous lecture. We did not use the book and he provided all the power points and exam reviews way ahead of time so we could prepare well for the exams.
Super good, the best teacher that I had so far, only 3 tests, as long as you study the reviews, you will pass with an A. Super interesting class. I love it
I am a dual enrollment student and had already 8 professors at MDC. This professor by far is the best! there is no way that you can even consider failing!(only if you don't even try) no need to buy a book for this class. Its pure PowerPoints really and simple to learn. MUST TAKE!
He is the best!
Great teacher! The best professor I've had in Miami Dade College. He teaches, well,he cares about his students' progress. He makes the class very interesting and you won't fall asleep. Overall awesome teacher! I wish he taught more classes that I still need to take.
He is one of the best teachers in all of the Miami Dade College Campus. You will learn the material by the way he explains it. Crystal clear impossible to don't understand. Three exams and he gives a review before the test!! Take him!
Great class, great professor. I got a C because I did not study. Did not need the book. I wish I could take another class with him.
Only three easy tests with reviews!!
Best professor at MDC. I loved this class. Super easy, no textbook needed, all he teaches is from the powerpoints. 3 test which are mega easy. He gives you a review a week ahead so you are prepared. I am for sure taking him for PSY2012!
His class is just him going by the powerpoint. He knows what he's talking about though. There is only 3 test.
The best professor, easy, clear class.I would like that MDC has professor like him. very clear and professional. wow awesome. no textbook required. no homework. only with ppt you are very clear and prepare for test.
only 3 exam, great professor, I really recommend him, essay class but you need to study do not wait to the last day!! He explains everything step by step
Good professor! This class was extremely easy. There were only 3 tests; each one was worth 110 points. No textbook, no quizzes! All we had to do was to study from two to three PP per test. Regardless, Prof. Garcia is very smart and teaches very well. He just goes to the point, which doesn't go too deep. I'd recommend him.
Great professor, Professional, thorough, You have to study for the tests or you will not pass, Attendance doesn't directly affect your grade but if you are not there for the lectures then you will not understand the notes.
Great professor, Professional, thorough, You have to study for the tests or you will not pass, Attendance doesn't directly affect your grade but if you are not there for the lectures then you will not understand the notes. Nice but will let you know if you are talking in class while he is talking.
He is amazing he just talks a lot he teaches of power point. no homework just study the notes for test. only 3 test. over all this class is based on notes and memorizing. and no textbook
He's hella cool, knows how to teach. The lectures are a little boring unless you're into the subject but PSY is a boring subject nonetheless. He only gives like 3-4 Tests and besides that all you have to worry about is writing down your notes and studying them. He might even give a study sheet before the test (Our class had to ask) but he delivered
No homework, just study the notes for tests. only 3-4 test. Good teacher.
He is an amazing professor! He is really nice and teaches SO clearly. Your grade will be based on 5 exams or so, but the exams are on topics you cover to a certain point. Ex. Exam 5 won't ask about material in Exam 1. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's recommended since he adds information to the power points and hand outs he emails you.
Amazing professor! Super funny and straightforward with his lectures and helps out A LOT. Highly recommend Dr. Garcia
I've had Dr Garcia for about 4 classes already. He's lectures are extremely easy to understand. He's funny, and such a nice teacher. 3 tests and no homework. Everything is from the power points. And he gives reviews for each test. Very helpful. Take him.
Give this man a medal. Fantastic professor, I have taken him for about 5 classes and he is honestly the best of the best. Absolutely helpful, very understanding of your schedule, helps as best as he can, and he makes his lectures very interesting. Absolutely recommend if you're going in to psychology. Stick with him if you are!
Straight forward class, straight forward professor. Lectures are long but VERY clear and somewhat interesting. No quizzes no homework no papers. Just 3 test that are NOT cumulative. Gives test review at least a week in advance. Do the reviews and you will pass the test that simple. Each test has built in extra credit and is worth more that 100pts
PROFESSOR GARCIA IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS IN MIAMI DADE. IF I WOULD'VE STUDIED MORE I WOULD'VE GOTTEN A BETTER GRADE BUT HE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND I ENJOYED HAVING HIM AS A PROFESSOR. HES ALSO FUNNY. ATTENDANCE ISNT MANDATORY BUT ITS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU GO. I TOOK HIM FOR PSY2012 AND DEP2000
AMAZING PROFESSOR. THE BEST I HAVE HAD SO FAR. ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY JUST STUDY THE POWERPOINTS AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE ON THE TESTS. HE ONLY HAS 3 TESTS THE WHOLE SEMESTER BUT THEY ARE EASY IF YOU STUDY THE POWERPOINTS. IF YOU DO GO TO CLASS HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN DETAIL. I WOULD DEF TAKE HIM AGAIN.
Took this professor for PSY2012 he is a good professor. Doesn't give homework nor extra credit.. Grade is based of 3 test which are based on his lectures. He gives a review for all 3 test which you can study from and will be some what exactly like the test ! if you dont study and memorize everything you will not pass. EASY A if you study
Professor Manolo is just amazing ! He has his Ph D in Psychology and is very passionate with his career! He makes the class interesting and makes sure the student understands the material! Test are based on powerpoints and the test are easy if you studied! which I hichly recommend you do ! Choose him!!
Super Nice Professor!! If I have to take another Psychology, I would take him again!!! He is a wonderful professor, great human being , nice,great lecture, very clear and give extra credit in the test. Only 3 test and he gaves you a review before the test. Take him, you will not regret!!!
Totally pick this professor if you're taking DEP 2000. He is super cool and his lectures are entertaining and usually short. Study the material he gives and you'll pass without a problem. His reviews are very helpful.
Manolo Garcia, is definitely a professor that not only you will enjoy but also learn from. Test are very understandable and his lessons are very informative not a strict or hard professor. But if possible take the time to actually listen to him. Great Professor.
Dr. Manolo Garcia is probably one of the best professors MDC has to offer. His lectures are straight forward, doesn't waste his time assigning homework, gives great examples of the topics he's covering, and grades fairly. As long as you take down the extra notes he writes besides the powerpoint and study the review sheet, you will definitely pass.
You have to listen and take notes 3 test no midterm or final just 3 test pretty easy if you pay attention
Great professor. Lecture heavy. 3 Exams study and you'll pass.
10/10 would take again. His lectures are clear and understandable and he gives zero homework. As long as you study for the tests you'll be perfectly fine
The best professor I've had his classes are NOT boring at ALL you have to make sure you attend to each class. No homework or book required he sends the slides for each class. 3 exams all from the lectures, slides. Even gives out a study guide which is exactly what you should expect in the exams. Take him you wont regret it at all.
He's super funny, knows how to make the class easy and his tests are everything we did in class (obv you gotta study). I'd take another class with him if I could.
Mr. Garcia is an awesome teacher but I wouldn't recommend to take him in an afternoon class since the lecture is heavy and you'll need to take notes. He's reachable, very polite and super respectful. If you need to miss class you'll need to go over the power points he emails in order to pass the tests.
this guys is a great person, seriously you can sit down and just hear this guy talk about life and it would be fun, he explains material very well and it an outstanding professor tests are very easy if you study the material which is given to you by the teacher, if you need to take clp1006 please get this man.
Professor Manolo is an amazing professor TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT, go to class, pay attention and write notes down, he give you test reviews before the exam EVERYTHING that is on the review will be on the exam no extra no less, let me tell you im the most laziest person and if i was able to study and pass this class with an A there is no excuses
Makes psych very clear and understanding. You need to study the material, if you do there's no doubts in passing the exams with an A! Totally recommend. Lectures are long, sometimes monotone but very understand and clear!
Great professor, show up, pay attention to the power points when he goes over them and write down the extra notes he writes on the board. 3 tests and he gives a study guide
AWESOME!!!1 MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR THUS FAR. I TOOK HIS PSYCH AND HUMAN GROWTH CLASS AND JUST WOW! HE REALLY EXPLAINS THINGS WHEN YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. VERY FLEXIBLE. HE IS VERY KIND, FUNNY, AND INTELLIGENT! REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF! I WOULD TAKE THIS COURSE AND ANY OTHER COURSE HE HAS IF I COULD! YOU CAN MISS HIS CLASS BUT I DONT RECOMMEND IT.
Such an amazing professor! You obviously need to study the material but as long as you pay attention to his power points and what he writes on the board then you'll be set! The Lectures were always interesting, can't wait to take him again.
I missing words to describe him like a excellent profesor that I had.
Great professor. Just study the pawer point and the guide easy A. Best proffesor ever this is my second class with him.
Great professor but he does lecture the whole time and your grade is based on 3 exams. As long as you study you will pass the exams. Overall great class!
I really recommend him. He is awesome. He gives a study guide like a week prior the exam, and if you study you will pass for sure
The professor is knowledgeable and respected, I took him back in Fall 2017. His lectures may not be fascinating to ALL students but he definitely tries to make it as okay as he can. He sometimes allowed us to leave class early and I believe the only assignments were 2 quizzes and 2 exams. He sends the powerpoints online, good person overall.
The study guides are the exams. Great guy!!!
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! You will not regret it! I always liked psychology and now I LOVE it! His lectures are amazing and interesting! You learn so much! He has a clear grading criteria based off of a few exams that you WILL pass if you follow his directions. He is seriously one, if not THE, best professor I have ever had!
He only gives you 3 tests and that will be your grade for the class. No home work or class assignments just lectures from the powerpoint. He is well respected he is very kind and knows what he is talking about. You need to go over the powerpoint because the study guide does not help much with the test only a bit.
Definitely a good teacher! He could be a little boring at times because he talks a lot, but he really explains things well to make sure students understand everything he says. He really respects his students and understands if a student is confused. He also gives really good study sheets to prepare you for the upcoming tests. Definitely take him!
Professor Garcia is an amazing professor. He explains the content in such an effective way that it makes studying for his tests very simple. He doesn't really give homework, so attending is very important or you will miss specific info which is important for the overall grade in the class. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and recommend it.
I have taken this professor for DEP2000 & PHY2012, both classes super easy; 3 exams each and he gives reviews. Super nice and caring professor highly recommended. Lecture are kind of heavy cause there's a lot of reading and memorizing to do, but if you study from the reviews you will be fine.
This Professor can teach in a way that leaves no room for confusion. His lectures are very interesting and you learn so much just from attending class. He gives reviews for his 3 tests which are not difficult, but you definitely won't pass if you don't bother trying because they are info heavy. I really recommend him!
I have taken two classes with Professor Garcia: CLP 1006 and PSY 2012. The same structure for both classes. No quizzes, no homeworks, no Blackboard. There are three tests but he provides study guides. A lot of extra credit opportunities. However, if you want to get an A you should work for it. The best MDC professor so far, a real gem!!!
To sum up: BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Professor Garcia treats students like human beings and like adults who have lives outside the classroom. High quality lectures! Very clear and detailed explanations! Great time management! He takes the time to answer your questions during and after class. He replies the emails. Effective and efficient!
Best professor ever!!! I have taken him for two classes Psy 2012 and DEP 2000, and he has been so far the best professor I've ever had. He explains very well and knows the material, you will never get bored in his classes. He gives you reviews for the tests and he also gives 10 points extra credit in each test. I strongly recommend him!!
Great professor
hes very blunt. Doesnt require text book ,does PowerPoints. The powerpoint he gives are on the test. No surprises ,no homework. Explains everything, until everyone understands. Difficult to fail his class. Only 3 exams and multiple choice,he makes it very clear what will be on the test and gives reviews. Gives extra credit. RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!
Amazing professor, if you study the power points He give you, easy A. His grade criteria is great. Very humble person. I definitely recommend him.
The best Profesor ever!
Excellent professor !!!
I just want to say that i absolutely loved this class!! Mr. Garcia is amazing. While taking his class I didn't fell like i was in school at all. I just love the way he teaches, he is so calming and knows his material. We has 3 tests. We didn't need a book, he does lectures through Power Point. I would take any of his classes in a heart beat!
Professor Garcia's AWESOME! You don't really need the textbook as he uses PowerPoints slides. He emails the PowerPoints for you to print & study. He prepares & provides a test guide. Only 3 tests of 25 questions each. If you pay attention & study the test guide, you will pass. Allows make-up exam. He explains everything at beginning of the course.
Very good teacher ! His lectures are long but they are filled with a lot of information. If you come to class and dont miss lectures you would have to put minimum effort at home to get an A. He explains everything very well and detailed and he makes sure everyone understands.
The best teacher of all time! I love his class and it is very interesting! 4 exams, you just have to study the guide that he gives you and you will pass!
I couldn't have asked for a better professor. His lectures were very informative and amazing. He really does the most to help you out. Especially during this whole COVID situation, he was very understanding and helpful. He really cares for his students and his reviews include everything that will be on the test. Absolutely loved the class
Class is super easy, with weekly quizzes, discussions, and the lectures are pretty clear to me. The only thing is that the quizzes & exams are timed, not enough time I always have to rush to finish all the questions. One last thing, don't waste time to email him in regards to quizzes or a related question because he won't answer! unprofessional!!
He is amazing, you just have to read the PPWs and the chp pages he assigned, then a quiz of 10 questions (literally what you read), and you'll be good. Every 2 or 3 weeks you'll have an easy discussion board. He never attends class, I have never seen him in person, he just posts PPWs and Chp pages. His reminders are a weekly email. 3 easy Exams.
He is a great teacher, easy quizzes, he gives PowerPoint and all his quizzes came from it...
I took 2 classes with him. Honestly one of the best teachers at MDC. Passed both classes with an A. Book is helpful but not needed he makes PowerPoints that break things down. Courses based on 10 quizzes, 5 discussions and 3 exams. If you're close to the next grade at the end of semester he rounds up. 100% recommend, amazing professor.
Very clear class and instructions. There were weekly quizzes of 10 questions and exams of about 40 questions and that's where your grade comes from. No essays or discussions. Professor provided ppt for the lectures, although the book is necessary for complete information. Emails were addressed fast, within hours. Taking him again for diff class.
This is my favorite class in Miami-dade. My favorite book I've read thus far and I can't believe I wasn't exposed to the world of positive psychology before. Frankly, I continuously take notes on the book because I love it soo much. 10 quizzes and 2 exams. This is a fairly easy class, but you need to read the book. Don't slack.
AMAZING. I took him for four classes in one semester. Love his teaching method: very clear powerpoints followed by 10 question quizzes. No proctored exams, and provides powerpoints for his exams.
Such an amazing professor can not recommend him enough! He gives PowerPoint which he goes over in class and provides clear instruction and examples. You do need to get the book for extra material that isn't covered on the PPTs. His quizzes and exams are not proctored and are based on exactly what's covered in class, no surprises. Highly recommend!
Dr. Garcia was an amazing & super nice professor. The class only has 10 quizzes & 3 exams. If you go over the PowerPoint & listen in class youll pass this class no problem. You do have to read the book to study for quizzes & exams, not everything is in the PowerPoint. The only thing bad is that his quizzes & exams are timed, but I loved his class.
If you don't absolutely have to take this, don't. Was Army medic & massage therapist, so thought I knew A&P but the level of details & quantity you must learn is insane! Lots of reading & study needed to pass quizzes & exams. I took lectureless online, 8 wk - not recommended! Because of this, can't rate prof. for live or 16 wk classes.
Extremely knowledgeable in his field one of the best professors at MDC with lots of experience. Excellent human being too. The class was easy and very interesting.
This professor was excellent, and the lectures were not boring. This was an MDC Live class. In total, 11 quizzes and three non-proctored exams, he does provide a study guide for all exams.
He definitely knows the material and is passionate about it. There are weekly quizzes that are based on the PP, and three exams (there is a study guide) but it's all VERY EASY. If you have questions, you can ask and he'll answer without problems. Take this class because you will actually learn and pass.
The class is super easy. The professor is the best, his lectures and notes are understandable. When you take the quizzes and exams, all of what he has taught is there in the lectures and notes. Super caring and the way he teaches is amazing! He answers his emails on time as well.
Great professor. A quiz per lesson (12 lessons). Only ask for what he went over in class. Flexible. Thank you professor!
Amazing teacher and record the classes, making your life easier. Very caring, always tell us to be safe when the weekend comes. He always reminds us 1000 times when we will have an upcoming test/ quiz coming soon. Very knowledgeable. A plus teacher.
Excellent Professor!!! Very easy class. I took DEP2000 and PSY2012. He is really amazing. Take the class, you are going to pass.
very kind professor.
Sweetest professor ever. Very easy A. Lectures are mandatory, however if you miss a couple it is totally okay. During lectures he just reads the textbook and explains everything. Very easy assignments and not long at all. Would take again!
All these positive reviews are misleading. I am a visual learner and disappointed that there were no lectures, no PowerPoints presentations etc. He just reads the text words from the book and goes into detail that's it. Quizzes are average yet are exams are a nightmare. Questions are pulled from different sources and not directly from the text.
He is a very sweet professor and really loves what he does. The class consists of cengage and 3 exams throughout, but if you miss one, he was nice enough and opened up all the exams toward the end of the semester.
Best professor ever!!! Loved his class was super easy and explains everything really good. He even gave another chance to the one who got a bad grade on the tests. Take the class with him no doubt.
One of the best professor at MDC, cared for the students, was clear on the teaching, and helful with grades.
Textbook is on cengage. If you read the textbook the quizzes and tests are easier
The professor is engaging and makes the material easy to understand. While the quizzes and exams can be challenging, using resources like the textbook and Unstuck ai for study prep can really help. Overall, a rewarding class if you stay on top of the work.
He is a great professor.
Easy online class! His lectures aren't that long honestly and you don't have to really talk on zoom you can if you want to participate or ask questions but he's not strict on it. Such a good class he's very nice, I really recommend him!
I GOT A 99% IN THIS CLASS. IT WAS AN EASY A!!! He is the sweetest teacher. The online zooms are not long at all. The material is easy in itself and nothing was proctored so you really cant fail. I will be taking him next semester for another class. TAKE HIS CLASS!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
I definitely recommend to take his course if you want to get an easy A. Unlimited attempts for assignments and two attempts for quizzes. Not too much work and no proctored exams. Also he is super nice and caring.
I definitely recommend to take his class. He is so caring and understanding. There are a few quizzes, a midterm and a final exam, but none of them are proctored, and they are all very easy. Camera use and participation are not required. Overall I think it's pretty easy to get an A.
Assignments were easy and could be done on your own ahead of time. Lectures consist of reading and explaining the textbook which helps if you don't understand the material. Quizzes were all simple as well.
very kind guy and he gives plenty of time to complete the course work and tests. impossible to fail unless you just decide not to complete your assignments
