Comment:

Teacher is awesome!!! I was pretty nervous about the class but a week into I felt much more at ease. Her tests aren't hard as long as you study the study guide she gives you inside and out and pay attention to page numbers that she points out, that material def on her tests! Paper was not hard and she was very helpful if you have any questions!!

Amazing professor. Even more amazing human being. Couldn't ask for better--and would be difficult to find it. Take anything this professor teaches, and make an effort to work with her in her lab!

Great professor, very nice. Prepare for tests by taking notes in class and learn the review sheet. Organized, very helpful and provides info about grad school and psych careers. The paper wasn't bad.. I got an A. just go to class, you'll be fine

Comment:

Obviously the other posters fell for Altarriba's phony act! To students other than her favorites, she is not a sweet, caring, mentor-like figure. This class is not worth the amount of effort the Altarriba requires. The most dull subject you could possible CRAM into your head! I strongly recommend AGAINST taking this course!

Comment:

Dr. Altarriba is an amazing professor and will go out of her way to help out her students. She is by far one of the more memorable professors at Suny Albany. There is a lot of material for the class but she is very clear about what you should pay attention to for tests. I highly recommend taking this class.

Comment:

You just MEMORIZE EVERYTHING for the semester and forget directly after the test. As a cognitive psychologist, I would think that she would come to the realization that he class is not LEARNING this way.... Circus act is right! I felt as if I was jumping though hoops!

Comment:

I really think that we, THE STUDENTS, were a semester long cognitive experiment! She has you MEMORIZE pages and pages of notes. INSANITY! You have to have the EXACT data from the notes/text on the test or she takes points off. We're talking NUMERICAL data and precise graph measurements! If you want to learn, don't take her.

Comment:

Dr. Altarriba is like a mentor to me. She'll help you with anything you ask. She wants her students to work hard so she can prepare them for graduate school. Her teaching style is admirable and 100% fair. She is a very kind woman and one of the best teachers at the University.

Comment:

She is the best professor.She is tough and expects the best of her students, but if you work hard she is great. She is the only professor to offer any guidance at SUNY. You know what to expect on her exam, but people say she is hard cuz there are essays and a paper. She expects you to learn, unlike the many psychology teachers and professors.

Do not do anything in her class but pay attention. She did not write me a recommendation to graduate school, although I was second in her class with an A average, because I was not paying attention, and studying for her final and I yawned a few times. She

I had her as a teacher about 10 years ago! I realized even then, and more so now after earning a Ph.D. in Psychology, how great a teacher she was/is. Her lectures were organized and informative. She expects you to work hard, yet is very fair. A true a

Her syllabus is 11 pages. She is very tough and extremely anal!!! Her exams are hard. Not an easy A. She is however a good instructor and always available for help. Exams are hard but not unfair.

very dedicated to helping students, even though her syllabus makes you think she's going to be tough, she's very flexible if you need extra help or if you need to change a test date. does lots of extra advisement. listen to what she says will be on test
