If you want to succeed in this class take it when its not offered in the summer you will be consumed in taking test and quizzes like 6-8 a week with two test and two different assignments due its not a great summer class

While I enjoyed her lectures, I felt there was an overwhelming amount of textbook not covered. As a teacher, she was personable, yet to the point. There were 3 main quizzes, packed full of information we went over and didn't go over. Be prepared to take a lot of notes, pay attention in class, and read the textbook front to back!

She is very organized with every module and does not mind helping with any misunderstandings. Mostly textbook quizzes and tests with discussion posts or written assignments. Definitely gives you ample time to do the work though, awesome teacher!

Professor Gomez is a great teacher! She explains material extremely well. Posted the PowerPoint online so I can print it and take notes on it. Makes class interesting and fun. One of my favorite classes and professors. If you do the work its an easy A. Work is not difficult at all. Read the chapters before class.

Expect 4-5 assignments due each week FOR A REGULAR CLASS. The amount of work is ridiculous and she grades harshly. I wouldnt recommend taking her there are plenty of other professors who care about your learning and doesnt just throw textbook pages and quizzes at you each week. Everyone learns differently and she clearly doesnt see that.

I had never gotten bad grades on discussions and essay questions until this class. She reads EVERYTHING. If one sentence of your assignment is wrong, you will be getting points off. She is also very strict with formatting. I got many C's and D's on assignments in this class and it was truly a struggle to stay above a C. Good lectures, tough grader.

Professor Gomez is a great professor. She is really caring, but you have to communicate with her. If you ever struggle with anything reach out and she will try her best to help you. I took her general psychology class face to face, she does not give much work, gives you time to study for the exams (taken in class), and the research paper.

I took her online and expect 4 quizzes due each week and a hard discussion post or essay. She graded ridiculously hard, if you make one grammatical error she drops you down a whole letter grade. I was so excited for this class but She makes learning psychology not fun at all. The assignments due each week are ridiculous for a regular class.

I was so excited for Psychology in the beginning of the year but in the end I didn't even care if I passed or not. I never want to take another Psychology class again. Her grading is hard and homework is not explained. If you take this class, do the extra credit you will need it. I do not recommend anyone to take this class.

Professor Gomez truly cares about her students. Take notes! The exams are based on her lectures. She does provide the class recordings which is helpful. Do the homework. She also offers extra credit. One research paper and four exams. It is not bad, but you have to do the work.

You need to put in effort to get an A. A few people started bulleting responses/points because if they're spread out in your work and you do not explicitly say "I think ___ because of ___" you'll get a lower grade. Every week there is a TED Talk and discussion due or drop box assignment. She gives good feedback. Psych major here so I enjoyed it.

Be prepared to write a lot of essays. Homework and essays had the same rubric so you didn't know exactly what you need for that assignment. She is very strict with grammar if you have a couple of errors your grade will go down. It seems like she has prior complaints from parents whose children were in dual enrollment.

I would absolutely not recommend Professor Gomez. Though I got an A in the class I found the writing assignments irrelevant and difficult, even as someone who excels in English. I do not feel that I gained very much from this course and felt Professor Gomez was more focused on APA formatting than in teaching Psychology itself.

Loved how Gomez taught lectures; genuinely cared about how students took in information. Very interactive; easy to pay attention to. Big paper due around midterm. I had two assignments per week (max), then 4 exams throughout semester. No midterm/final. Even if you procrastinate like me, I had no problem in this class or turning my work in on time.

I took Gen. Psych in an 8-week - I do NOT recommend this for anyone not super interested in the subject: there are a lot of writing assignments, homework and reading. She's clear on expectations and easy to communicate with if you need help. If you take the time to be thoughtful and researched, she grades fairly. Learn APA citations thoroughly.

Professor Gomez's PSY1012 class is challenging but rewarding. The workload is manageable with regular attendance and effort. The course is well-organized, and Gomez provides helpful feedback. Utilizing resources like unstuck study and the textbook can make this class more manageable.

I started this semester as a psychology major, but after taking her class, I switched majors and lost all interest in psychology. She cared more about formatting than the content and was paranoid about AI use, accusing me even when I provided evidence and received a 0% AI score through the school's AI detection software.
