Comment:

Doesn't teach well, grades are based majorly on exams. She gets irritated when asked questions and her only help is to tell you to reread the chapter. Her tests are horrible, she gives very little instructions for projects and expects you to just know what she wants. She doesn't stay on topic and belittles students who ask questions.

Absolutely one of the worst instructors Ive ever had. She is very rude and acts in a manner that is not at all professional. Taking her was a huge mistake.

This professor is very knowledgable about what she is teaching, however, she is rude and insulting. I don't like how she yells at students and criticizes everything we do. Would not recommend her because I've cried enough!

Hardest professor I ever took. When I didn't understand the material and seek for her help, she didn't help me. She told me to look over my notes or her lecture. Lecture and notes were not helpful at all.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. She is rude and condescending to just about anyone. She is constantly late but yet yells at students when they are. I shouldve listened to what people had to say about her, but I gave her a chance and I regret it. She is horrific.

she lectures from one point to another, confusing the entire class. She will start chapter 5 rant about chapter 10,12,2,8 and then come back for 15 minutes to "finish" chapter 5. A lot of unnecessary reading, hard grading. Attendence in mandatory, and expect pop quizes and online quizzes , essay answers on exams.

Comment:

Her lecture notes are hard to read, she jumps from board to board with different things, and she always goes off topic which makes it very confusing. Her tests are very difficult and you much memorize all 25-35 pages. In the short answer tests she will not give you points even if your answer is right simply because it's not how she wants it.

Comment:

I think Her way of teaching is not appropriate for college. Her notes are very hard to follow they are also hard to read because of her bad handwriting. when writing she is all over the place she skips from one subject to the other and it makes her whole lecture hard to understand and read Overall a very stressful and hard class.

Comment:

At the beginning I felt she didn't want students to do well, like she was setting you up to fail. After I changed my attitude about situation I realize that her method of teaching is preparing us for this fields, psychology, future course, and effective. You have to study hard and work for your grade. I will def be taking another class with her !

Super Interesting class! Lectures are meant to supplement the reading. She harvests a great learning environment by having zero tolerance for disruptions of any kind. Mrs. Lozano is truly a gem in this college as she inspires critical thinking. I'm strongly considering taking another class with her although my major doesn't require it.

I took this class because it fulfilled a requirement. She is not a good teacher at all in my opinion. She take HORRIBLE notes that are hard to read and very sloppy and unorganized. She also has a bad attitude and almost seems angry all the time. You can pass this class but you definitely have to work for it. Not an easy A.

Comment:

Probably the worst class I have Tooken in PC. You pretty much learn on your own. She does do notes but has such a horrible writing that I didn't understand half the things she put on the board. She's really rude and puts students down. I wouldn't recommend this professor at all. & she's always late to class

Comment:

The negative chatter about Mrs. Lozano was instantaneous, which I thought was a bit ridiculous. The emphasis is on the textbook. Period. The purpose of her lectures are simply to supplement the material in the book, not provide you with everything you need to know. Outline everything in the book for notes, including details, not just definitions.

defiantly a tough class but as long as you show up prepared you'll do well. Read the chapters before lecture to understand what she talks about. Online quizzes are pretty easy but exams in class are tough. Make sure you do the study guides she hands out. Very strict about talking when she's lecturing and no cell phone use. Hard work pays off!

Comment:

I took this course over the summer and it was a hybrid class. She does not respond to emails and if she does it takes her a week. Which is not accepatable especially if its about classwork and you need her help. I didn't see her as a rude person, she was very straightforward. Disorganized and didn't ever respond to how I did on my classwork.

The class overall was an easy class, because you mainly learn by yourself through your textbook. The textbook is an easy read and interesting. Mrs. Lozano is a very confusing teacher very one minded, and sometimes rude. Don't bother writing down her notes. I would not recommend her!

Comment:

Yes she may seem very strict, but that is for your own good. You are suppose to be treated as an adult in college. None of that high school mombo jumbo. Highly recommend listening to both her lecture and book to see if she left anything out. I recommend taking her for the class.
