Wonderful professor! She keeps the class interested, and involves everyone in a group discussion. She uses PowerPoint, and rarely assigns homework. I highly recommend her
I love professor Garcia. She's been my favorite teacher at BC, hands down. I will definitely miss her!
Best professor ever had
Great teacher take her
Changed my life forever
This class is super easy. You do assignments at the end of the chapter, no quizzes, Mid term and Final Exam. If you don't pass this class, good luck passing any other class.
Cares about students
Excellent professor and person
Great psychology knowlege
Very great teacher. Had her for PSY2012 and she was fantastic. Great interesting lectures. Wants students to learn. Very helpful, resourceful. TAKE HOME MIDTERM! Group presentation PowerPoint instead of a final! Great communication. Would recommend and would take again!!!
Wish professor would teach more psych. Courses
Dr. Garcia is an amazing professor! She's so kind-hearted, she cares about her students and is willing to help when needed. You will not regret taking her class, she's very understanding. I highly recommend her!
She is amazing person and teacher. Take her class. You will love every lecture.
Such an easy class, she barley teaches from the book, but gives middle school levelstyle hw. WARNING: if you are shy don't take her. the mid-term was take-home and the final was a project. She's very sweet and amazing person, take her before the class if filled
Professor Garcia really teaches. She explains things until you understand. She likes to teach and all of us loved her. TAKE HER.
Special teacher and person
AWESOME PROFESSOR ! TAKE HER SHE IS AMAZING ;)
Professor is amazing teacher and person. She cares about us and wants us to be successful in school and life.
This professor hands down is literally the best one i have ever had she is so nice and actually interacts with the students. Final test is a group project.
Great Prof to take, I took her my first year and am now going back to take her again because she's so down to earth and explains anything you may be concerned about! :)
The best professor ever . I love Ms. Garcia , she was very helpful and very understanding , her class is very easy to past as long as you do all your work , she's a very nice lady , I definitely recommend you to take her class .
Ms. Garcia is an amazing professor she helps you out in what ever you need. She is very smart and knows your stuff. I would definitely take her again!! You won't regret having her as a teacher. She is very understanding. The power point was fun and she makes you feel comfortable!
She's a great teacher but a unfair grader. Be pre paired to do your final in a group of lazy classmates and give a power point. She gives A's to the students who don't do all there work, language barrier students and students who do not participate. Good luck.
Professor Garcia's class was one of the best I've taken. It is basically impossible not to pass as long as you participate. She is very understanding and she will work with you to help you pass the class. I would take this class 100 times over.
Prof. Garcia cares about all her students. She is a great teacher and knows a lot about psychology
She is very caring and loves animals. The class is not bad but the test are kinda hard if you dont study and she does drop the lowest grade. Group project and online work. I didnt complete the online work because it was very time consuming and ended with a B in the class of because of this. Overall wonderful professor who cares.
Amazing awesome professor and person.
Professor Garcia is really sweet and really cares about her students. she brings real examples and really knows her subject. However, I don't feel like I actually learned psychology in this class. the problem is that there are two test that are really not hard and a take home midterm. So the class may be easy but you don't really learn.
Take her. You'll love her.
Knows her stuff. You will love her.
SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT! SHOW UP, DO YOUR WORK,AND YOU WILL PASS.(IF YOU FAIL,YOU PRACTICALLY BEGGED 4IT) LECTURES ARE AMAZING BECAUSE ITS RELATED TO HER JOB EXPERIENCE(REAL LIFE STUFF). SHE WANTS YOU TO PASS!!! YOU WONT SEE YOUR PROGRESS WITHIN THE SEMESTER DUE TO THAT.(YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN). TAKE HER I WOULDN'T LEAD YOU BLIND
Amazing professor. Knows her stuff.
AWESOME
She sure knows her stuff. Her lectures are from real life experiences but you dont really learn much in this class. Grade is based on 2 tests and a final which is a powerpoint group project
She is amazing all the way around. She cares about everyone in class. Take her!!!
She is amazing. Take her.
Easy Teacher!!!!! I feel like all professors should be like her! I took her on Tuesdays 6:30-9:15pm. She really cares about her students. The homework had a total of 16 chapters, we only even numbers. 1 extra credit assignment, 1 mid-term, final was a group project(PP). Honestly just take her class one day a week it's a waste of gas to go 2x/week
Her lectures are amazing. Be ready to do online hw assignments.
She's a really great professor, everyone in the class is automatically passing if you follow directions and do the FEW assignments she asks of you. She barely ever gives work, lectures, she uses access codes but that's extra credit. Only 1 group project for the final, 1 open book quiz, lots of interaction throughout lectures
She is amazing. Knows her stuff and makes sure you enjoy her class. Do your work you pass.
I would just like to say BC is lucky to have a professor like Maria she is one of a kind .you know you only come across people like this in your life once and you get that feeling like you always want them around she inspires me to go to a higher level with my education .I don't think I would never find another professor like her take her class
Lovely lady, very sweet and understanding. Her lectures are through powerpoints, which could get boring at times but try to take notes. You do need an access code to do work online but it's very simple. She gives an open book midterm, and curves the grade. Final is a group project, which is incredibly easy. Please take her, you won't regret it!
She is an amazing professor and person. She has a lot of experience.
This professor is amazing and knows so much, she's a beautiful soul, consider yourself lucky if you get a seat in her class. If you participate and do your work, you'll pass her class with flying colors. Her class not just teaches you but it also makes you a better person. She has a midterm which is take home and a final project.
AMAZING.. Has a lot of valuable experience. The best!!
easy A. a few quizzes and online homework super easy . she truly is not against students she wants everyone to succeed and pass overall best professor I have taken at BC. if you want just buy the access code the book you can always take photos when shes ask for you do to a couple questions on paper. extra credit and group project one power point
Best teacher I have ever had. She is an amazing person and professor.
She is amazing in every way. Cares about her students doing well.
This class was one of the best classes Ive ever had. We have very little homework, yet I learned so much about psychology. The professor is very knowledgeable and caring. Take this class you wont regret it.
She's the best, super caring, and just an overall great professor. She's very straight to the point and is very understanding. 10/10 would recommend
Great Professor very funny and caring. We had a group project to present at the end of the course I was very scared but she makes you comfortable, dims the lights and makes you feel okay. The class was great we had great discussions as a group. Recommend her to anyone. I took her two months ago for DEP2004.
Professor knows her stuff. Has a lot of experience. She always has a smile and cares for all of us to do good. TAKE HER.
IT WAS A BLESSING TO BE IN HER CLASS. SHE VERY HONEST,UNDERSTANDING,AND KIND. i WISH THERE WERE MORE PROFESSORS LIKE HER.
She is amazing. Life changing experience.
Dr. Garcia is the best and when I say best I mean best Professor in Broward College. She is caring and understanding she makes Psychology class fun and she allow you to speak and share your experience and feedback. Words are hard to explain how awesome she. You would have to take her to experience what I had experienced. Take her she is the best
Treat yourself with EASY A+. she is a really great professor. take home midterm exam and a easy project for finals.
Maria is the best professor I've ever had. She cares about her students, she's always in a good mood and she explains really good. The way she explains her class makes it interesting and fun. I really recommend her for general psychology.
She is AWESOME in everything.
professor garcia is AMAZING!! i wish i could choose her for all of my psychology courses. she does well at explaining complicated subjects and uses examples from her personal life. we did some small group projects. love this professor!
take her.....A+A+A+A+A+A+A+
Professor Garcia has been incredible during online classes. She helps you with anything you need and makes online class seem its live.
Prof Maria made the online class comfortable. Shes always accessible for help.
Very caring professor, specially nowadays with covid. I don´t know how she teaches on campus but im going to be honest, the ppt lectures were kinda boring for me personally but she does explain every slides and help you understand. And she always has her ppts posted on launchpad.
Great Professor, will take again.
She is the best. She so nice and caring. Make sure to keep up with your work, its not too difficult just pace yourself and take a little bit of time out of the day to complete it. Also, she is very understanding of what us students might need and what we go through. One of the only classes that I didn't mind going to.
Prof Garcia is best professor I have had. Awesome
Prof garcia is best teacher in the college. She changed my life.
Professor Garcia is one of the best professors I've had. She is kind, caring and super accessible outside class. Her lectures are heavy but interesting. You will need to purchase a CONNECT code but it is absolutely worth it since it helps a lot. She took the 5 highest grades from quizzes and the final grade was based on a PowerPoint presentation.
Professor Garcia is the best professor I have had. Her lectures are fascinating. She cares about her students.
She's very nice and the lectures are interesting. We used CONNECT access that offers a digital book, TRUST me that's all you need. For the midterm grade, she took the 5 highest grades from the quizzes and the final grade was based on a paper and a PowerPoint presentation.
Her lectures are mediocre, more boring if anything. I personally dont mind talking and participating in class, but she drags out the lectures constantly and if you have to leave for a different class or something else? She gets mad. Be wary if u take her, and make sure your schedule is available after the recommended time. Good luck.
She is the best professor I have had in BC. She is intelligent, caring and relates everything to daily life. TAKE HER
Take her she works with you if you need her. She knows a lot about psychology and ties it to life. Cares about students and that they get a good grade.
SHe cares that we learn. She is flexible and helps the students get a good grade. Take her!!!!!
Best professor ever. She explains material clearly so we understand. Cares about students and works with you if you have a problem. Knows a lot about psychology and life in general.
Gets to the point , responds on time 10/10 recommend
Wonderful class! Class wasnt hard. Homework and quizzes were easy to understand and do. Would most definitely take this class again.
she is truly the best, super sweet woman. She cares about her students and assured they pass, of course if they show that they care about their grade She is always there for you even outside of class hours. She gives countless opportunities to boost your grade up By far one of the best professors I've had in the past two years
Professor Garcia has been the best professor I've had this semester. She is such a down to earth, kind woman, Super understanding and only wants the best for us. I would take this class again in a heartbeat if I could. Her lectures are easy to understand and she gives you plenty of time to complete homework. I highly recommend taking her class.
The best teacher I had this semester
Best professor ever who changed my life forever
There is one group project at the end of the semester, it is easy, she lets u pick the subject. Only 1 test. No midterm or final. Shes very relaxed and loves story telling. Gives 1 extra credit. Only work is online watching videos and answering questions. She is so easy to passdo not hesitate and just get her!
SHE IS AWESOME!!!!
Professor Garcia is an amazing person and an excellent teacher. She goes above and beyond to help her students. You will need to read the book to pass the tests because she can get off topic in class when students present their very personal problems. She cares and is very fair and kind. 5 stars!
Good professor. Really cares for her student's wellbeing. Assignments and tests/quizzes online. She gives a good amount of time to do it. A final group presentation at the end of the semester. She genuinely enjoys the subject and makes it interesting.
Very caring teacher. Content is to be read on your own. Powerpoints for the lecture was great. She let students give commentary. Homework is easy, just do on time. Really great professor. Great teaching style and personality.
truly the best professor I have had in my 5 semesters at BC
Such a kind teacher. We had HW on connect and used the powerpoints and lectures to do an oral presentation that was not bad. She is a great lecturer and it's obvious she really cares about her students.TAKE HER!
Please take her!! I had her for dual enrollment and she was amazing! She shares personal stories that inspire the entire class, and makes lectures super easy! Rarely any homework only quick quizzes online but the deadlines are super long so you have time. 2 easy open book tests; final was a group project. Loves to teach and loves all her students.
Dr. Maria Garcia is very clear and concise when teaching her field related subject psychology. I learned so much in life span it broadened my views on how we live life at each stage. I was a business student so could not take her again. Enjoyed every moment attending classes of Developmental Psychology.
Professor is awesome!! if you need to take this class take her. no stress
Professor is amazing. She cares about us learning and knows her field. She is pro student and wants all of us
She was an excellent teacher, and I would definitely choose to have her as my professor again in the future!
The professor was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and supportive throughout the course. She explained complex topics with clarity and made the material interesting and accessible. Her teaching style kept us motivated, and she was always willing to help when we had questions or needed extra support. Overall, her dedication and passion is amazing
Professor Garcia is amazing - she truly cares about students learning and makes the class super engaging. With minimal work, unstuck AI and the occasional textbook, you can easily ace this class. Highly recommend taking it with her!
Super sweet, patient, and understanding. Her lectures are clear and easy to follow, and she's happy to answer questions without judgment. Assignments are straightforward, mostly video based, with minimal reading. I got a C for personal reasons, but just stay on top of deadlines, and you'll do great. I'd definitely take her again.
