Comment:

A bit unorganized here and there, but her lectures (on PPT) made topics easier to understand. The activities she even has are helpful supplements to the homework. For the most part, I liked her class and really appreciate that she makes formula sheets for each chapter that you can mark up and use for the quizzes and tests.

Comment:

She is absolutely unorganized and is very unclear on what she wants/expects especially when it comes to her semester research paper project. Prepare to feel like you're in grad school because that's basically the amount of work she expects you to put into this class. 10/10 do not recommend whatsoever. Save yourself the aggravation.

Comment:

I liked that her class & quizzes were predictable. But I stressed out the night/week before just trying to keep up with taking very detailed notes on EACH section of EACH chapter as this was probably the only way to ensure an A. Interesting stuff to learn but difficult to keep up with. Prof was nice but VERY unorganized. It's more self-learning.

She is probably one of the most unprofessional and disorganized professors I have ever had. The way she disrespects her students appalls me.

Comment:

This teacher told us that we required the textbook, yet everything she teaches is different and confuses you. she gives you an outline, a textbook, her lectures, and power points, all of which are giving you different answers to the questions you have to study, sometimes she would give us the WRONG ANSWERS then complain when we gave those answers.

Comment:

Tests fill in the blank quizzes. And sometimes find a question that had to be off the internet not associated with the book or mindtap. DO NOT describe anything in your own words, in order to be correct it needs to be her interpretations verbatim. She takes points like its dollars, and even if youre in the ballpark, its 100% wrong.

PowerPoints and Study guides Pro- verbatim test materials. CON- her versions are her own interpretations. Not understandable without her there. Not professional. Broken up and misconstrued. Overall- read the book.

Comment:

All the material she gives us in class is wrong and its sad because we come to learn but she doesnt provide that. She has no clue what she is doing and generally feel bad for the students are there to learn. Not that nice of a person either. Will not be taking her again.

Worst teacher Ive ever had. Has no idea what shes teaching and will teach the wrong material. The whole class makes absolutely no sense. Shes funny but she needs to retire. You have to pretty much teach yourself or fail. AVOID. DO NOT TAKE.

She is a nice person if you put effort in class. Get the book, complete your hw and do the aplia work and you will be ok.

Comment:

If the course was taught by aplia I would have an A . You never know what's on the Exams. Maybe an idea but mostly it's all surprise. Sometimes they are based off the worksheet and other times from I don't know where! The book and her differ so much it's hard to stay on track. Quizzes are easy if you understand aplia and formulas

Do the mind tap homework that is the majority of your grade. Doesn't post grades on blackboard so you have to wait till she prints them out

In her psychology 101 class, she's not even teaching psychology! She's teaching statistics. If I even was trying to take a stat class, I DEFINITELY wouldn't even choose her. Too late to drop the class now, unfortunately.

Comment:

At first I was worried to take Professor Rocha due to her ratings and she was my only option. But she actually is a great teacher and the class was not as hard. The instant you don't understand something, raise your hand and she gladly explains. It's an easy A if you are good at math, if you aren't no worries, seek her help and you shall be fine!

OK the class is hard because it is statics, the class is easy you can use a sheet formulas in the test, so just study don't be lazy, quizz each class 5 questions, about what you learned in the last class, aplia is used, do with time, she speaks Spanish, if you need help go with her and she will help you a lot, the class is fun, do your job

Comment:

Nice lady, BUT she is terrible at teaching ! Her lectures are very rushed, and half of the time she doesn't make sense. She confuses students. She gives quizzes EVERYDAY, and they are at the beginning of class and sometimes at the LAST 7 minutes of class. It can get pretty stressful sometimes. Bottom line, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

Comment:

She's not a BAD professor but you SHOULD read and study on your own BEFORE the material is covered in class, I'M NOT EXAGGERATING. you will struggle if you do the minimum. If you are terrible at math, GO TO TUTORING. Her class is not hard but if you don't catch on by the second week your not alone, just work a little harder and stay ahead.

Comment:

Read and study the book before class and you'll understand her lectures. Take notes and go to tutoring. It helps. An "A" is attainable if you take the time to read honestly
