She is very helpful and eager to make sure that all of her students understand. You will have to work in her class, but will leave her class with a clear understanding of the material. She is very easy to approach and eager to help you if you need it. Her assignments relate to the topics well

Lewellen is a great teacher. She's very interested in her field of work which makes the class so much fun. I didn't even use the book all semester and got an A. Just take notes and study that. The only thing I sorta didn't like was the small littler projects she makes us do, it makes me go back to kindergarten but it helps nonetheless.

So you do the study guides first. same info in lecture slides (second), and we get to draw a bit(third). By then you should be good on the test. She does her job really well and in respect to the class she knows how you can learn better (biopsych, duh)which I think is why she is engaging. Movies and articles for extra credit. Just awesome.

This professor is extremely tough on grading, she will give lectures and be unclear but will still get very upset when you make a simple mistake, I mean deduct a lot of points. She is not caring, you will reach out and she will always blame the students. Do NOT take her class.

Choose another professor. Her grading is harsh you will never get full credit for any assignment. Her late work acceptance is tricky. Her lectures are not very helpful. Oh! Look out and make sure the rubric grade matches the one posted. She's nectarous for giving you less points than what you actually got.

When I took the class in person with Arpi Melkonian, I loved every class, but I had to drop due to work schedule. However Professor Lewellen made her online class extremely difficult. Her grading is vicious, she doesn't answer questions in email, she'll tell you to look back to the lecture but doesn't tell you which lecture. Would not recommend.

Please don't let the reviews stop you from taking this professor. this isnt the type of online class to slack off you have to actually learn. I did take her twice because i had to drop in the spring and summer was just as simple. Study and do your work, she allows makeups and late assignments.

Prepare to work hard in this class - Lewellen is a tough grader. The quizzes are intense, but staying on top of the textbook and lecture notes can help. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for me when it came to quiz prep. Overall, it's a challenging but manageable course.

Im confused with the ratings, I got a good grade and didn't stress that much in class, just because it is an online class doesn't mean you don't get to do any homework lol this is College... she's chill and yeah she grades hard but just follow instructions with her assignments and you'll be fine. She offers extra credit/missed assignments anyway.

This teacher is very tough, do not take her for a class. Assignments will not have clear instructions and if you make a minor mistake, she will take off a lot of points. Does not respond to emails or provide any helpful feedback.

This class just started and I'm already considering dropping it. Instructor is very rude when giving feedback and deducts points for minor things. I was extremely specific in my responses, yet she still made me re-do the assingment. Unfortunately, she's the only one teaching this couse online, which really sucks.

I wouldn't recommend her, take someone else if you can! Gave our entire class a 28% average on an OPINION based discussion post 😭... She is an unnecessarily tough grader and is bitter in her feedback. Even if your answer is correct, she will mark almost full points off if it doesn't match her personal interpretation.

Do not take this professor if you don't have a lot of time to commit.The assignments are extremely time consuming for topics that could definitely be taught in a simpler way.I spent an entire day drawing steps of the action potential,only for her to nitpick and deduct points over minor details.She makes the class overly complicated & frustrating.

I took Psych241 at Cerritos for transfer units, and it was the most difficult class I've had. The professor demands word-for-word answers from fast-paced lecture videos and won't accept outside info. She's refused to grade work multiple times, gives zeros and says “redo,” and adds rules not in rubrics. Be ready to do double the work just to pass.

I don't recommend taking this profesor at all!! The material was interesting but made the class a nightmare. Her grading system doesn't even make sense and even when you follow her instructions she would still grade you however she wants. Not sure why she still teaching at Cerritos.

Prof. Lewellen is an EXTREMELY strict grader. She expects all students to quote exactly what she says in her very fast-paced lectures and will dock points if you include outside information (even if it's correct) or miss even just one word she said. The class avg. for discussion posts about our OPINIONS is usually 50% or lower. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

This is literally the worst Professor ive ever had in my life, she grades however she wants and do not respect even her own rubrics. If you can avoid this Professor, its the worst educator that you will encounter in your lifetime. Learning with her its almost impossible because of how obnoxious and ridiculous her class materials are.

PLEASE AVOID THIS PROFESSOR. Her grading WILL ruin your gpa. She is impossible to please and understand. If your answer is not copying her lecture verbatim she knocks off a ton of points, AND even if it is verbatim, she will tell you her lecture didn't say that. WORST CLASS EVER. She is smart, but she is an awful professor. CHOOSE ANOTHER PROFESSOR

She isn't honestly that bad. Her grading at times was odd but she provides a clear rubric and videos. This professor makes you create hand-drawn projects and can be strict. The exams are 20 minutes long with 2 retake chances and 25 questions each. Better to take this course if you need the transfer credit. Pretty easy but somewhat of a workload.

She isn't a bad professor, I think she just needs to work on loosening up on her grading criteria. When I did an assignment using the lecture, she gave me a bad grade and basically said my answers wasn't from the lecture when it was. The assignments were okay and the exams were pretty easy too. I recommend taking notes when watching the lectures.
