Prof. Acevedo was a great professor. The only reason why I didn't rate her a 5/5 was because of how bland her lectures were.

This is a class that I was excited for. Unfortunately my experience was quite opposite. The lectures are lackluster and not helpful with the coursework whatsoever. Miss Acevedo writes so small and runs through her lessons without much help . If I could retake Psych I would just not with this professor. Its too much of a disconnect.

This professor actually made me wonder if I wanted to change my major. I am a good student, and I usually get good grades. This professor is not enthusiastic about what she teaches, and really does have an attitude if you ask her anything or politely stop her to go over something again. Pick a different professor.

Do not take her online summer classes if you work full time. I've done other summer classes and it was fine. I think she needs to rearrange the summer class to more appropriated structure. Too much reading, too many assignments. I wasn't grasping anything I was just trying to catch up to the next assignment. She can do better than this. Horrible!

She definitely is a bit rude and her lectures are boring but she does not take attendance and her feedback for assignments are actually very good. I emailed her with questions because she accidentally put the wrong dates on some assignments and she was very sassy. I would take again solely for the no attendance and only online assignments.

My experience with this professor was awful. She does not care about her students. I read so many good things about her on this website, but did not find her to be easy to work with. Be prepared to read. All assignments come directly from the textbook, as do all tests. She is not a fair grader. She is difficult to reach. There are so many tests.

I have no idea how this woman has such a good rating on this site. Don't be fooled and don't take her course in social psychology, you will regret it! She doesn't teach at all. There is a lot of homework for which it is very difficult to get a good grade. The lectures are very boring and she does not motivate you to study the material at all.

When I saw her ratings I decided to take her class since I wanted to invest myself a bit into psychology while meeting my requirement . I started to realize how tough of a grader she was and it just became an absolute no. I pour a lot of work into my assignments but she will find any small thing to complain about. Just discourages and dropped out.

I'm surprised on her good gradings because that is not what I expected taking her as a teacher. My classmates and I constantly dealt with unnecessary remarks upon her behavior.

Idk why Prof Acevedo has such awful reviews. Everything is online, which makes it easy. Her lectures are a bit boring but she writes down all of her notes on top of what's in the textbook. There's a lot of chap readings & quizzes but again none of the quizzes & exams are in class. If you don't get an A in this class then you just didn't try at all.

So far in doing very well in the class but I corrected her for a mistake she made and now she's personally being a rough grader on me… best advice is to either not take her but if you have to: just try to stay on her good side. Her grades aren't based on your work it's based on if she likes you or not

She spent most of her time writing notes on broad which we copied down. They were helpful for understanding content but felt a little off since her tests were online and based on the online textbook. quizzes and tests were easy though. I would not take if you want a deep understanding but if you want an easy grade this is the right prof.

She is very bitter and hands-off. She does not really interact with the students; she just speaks in a monotone voice for an hour and a half and assigns tedious assignments that have nothing to do with the concepts learned in class. Definitely a class that would be better asynchronous, without having to deal with the attitude.
