Reviews of professor Roberto Varela

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had Dr. Varela for both Abnormal Psych and Family Therapy. Both amazing classes! Varela is a great professor. You are not required to go to class, but I STRONGLY suggest on going because the 4 tests are based on the his lectures. He also offers extra credit which helps your grade, but only offered in class. GO TO CLASS it's interesting and fun!

Professor Varela is AMAZING! He has power points with all his lectures that he uploads to canvas before tests so that you can review them. He also gives pop quizzes from time to time, but as long as you were awake during class you should be able to pass them. Another perk is he doesn't give homework! Abnormal psych is an easy class to pass.

Hes great , his lectures are great clean and simple , he gives many examples on each topic , but attendance is not required but would definitely go bc hes lectures are whats on the exams !! If your planning not to come all the time have a friend who takes good notes

Avoid. Unclear grading criteria. He has made both me and the entire class uncomfortable multiple times due to discussions regarding sex/relationships, which are common in psychology.
