Comment:

Professor Escobar is extremely passionate about her job and she will tell you that. She is very strict on you paying attention and she will even threaten to take away your phone/call you out but she has never not wanted to help or answer questions. Honestly there should be no reason to fail her class if you attend and pay attention.

Professor Escobar was mediocre at best. Thick accent and exam heavy, but extremely knowledgable about all things psychology related. I took this class as a gen ed and found it difficult for a 100 level course.

Loved her as a professor. Pretty clear lectures and her weekly assignments weren't bad either. Just pay attention in class, and don't skip. She posts all her notes and assignments on moodle along with study guides for the final, which are attached to the weekly questions. She is completely understanding and is willing to work with any student.

Comment:

I actually had Escobar at Oakland University instead of Auburn. She was really funny and helpful. Oakland requires PSY100 students to complete credit hours and if you completed yours, she gave you an extra 20% on your fourth exam even if it bumped your grade above a 100%. I would definitely take the class again.

Dr Escobar was extremely nice and her class was interesting she posts her lectures online but she gives clicker questions everyday so come to class. I honestly did not read every time and still did pretty good on the questions. You need to study for Tests and her online quizzes can be hard af. Go to her office hours. She lets you ask questions also

Absolutely love Dr. Escobar. Her test are pretty hard but she give extra credit for sona and replaces your lowest grade with you clicker point. Test are given on the computer in lab which was weird. But she is very helpful and nice. I never made above a B on the test but was able to make an A with extra credit and clicker points.

I enjoyed Dr. Escobar's class. The lectures can be interesting, and the tests aren't too difficult. Once I started putting forth a moderate amount of effort I got As and Bs. Make sure you do your lab hours by the extra credit deadline, then max them out. It's not that hard, and can really help your grade. I would take her class again.

Incredible teacher. Go to class everyday because she does clicker questions that will help your grade. Definitely do the extra credit. Take notes but still read the textbook because she occasionally asks clicker questions about the reading. Very interesting subject and she makes it enjoyable. I loved going to class every day.

This was a very hard class for me. She goes through things very fast and the tests are VERY hard and confusing. I worked really hard and still got a C. Everything is online though and she does give extra credit.

Comment:

This class was very interesting but super hard to get an A in. I didn't read the book and I feel like it would have helped me a lot. She gives clicker points which count A LOT in your final grade so go to class!Overall, she was a great teacher but be prepared to work so hard for a good grade. Tests are super hard.

TAKE THIS CLASS! You have to go to class and do the study guides, but she makes class interesting and gives daily clicker points. At the end of the semester she replaces your lowest test grade with them. Never read the book and came out with an A in the class, I'd definitely take her again.

To start, pretty hard class. She does go entirely too fast for an intro class. But, the study guides are great, she is willing to meet with you and help you if you ask. I got an A but had to work my butt off. She does do clicker points for attendance, which are also for points. Great teacher. Just hard.

I enjoyed this class very much! Just listen in class and do the study guides before the tests and you will do fine. She allows you to acquire clicker points throughout the semester, and at the end she replaces your lowest exam grades with the clicker points. Learn concepts rather than memorize. Her tests have lots of examples.

Horrible professor! Test are very tricky, and goes entirely too fast. She never seems to have time to meet with you during office hours, and she hates to be emailed. She is also very rude when you contact her.

She is a great professor that is clearly passionate about what she is teaching. Her lectures are straightforward and easy to understand. A LOT of reading is assigned and her tests are surprisingly REALLY hard. I still came out with an A, though, and I'm glad I took the class!
