Reviews of professor Rachel Gallardo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Class had a lot of content. I was taking it this summer, I had to drop because her due dates for assignments were ridiculous. Why would it be due 12:00pm during summer? upon that the tests and exams were very text book heavy so that was a lot of reading per week with assignments. If you have a life and work this class is impossible.

This class wasn't hard, it just had a lot of work. Be sure to do all of, if not most of the assignments, to get as good a grade as possible. I got a C on all the exams and still passed with an A, so there is still a chance. I highly recommend doing the extra credit as I found it to be very helpful. Other than that, Good luck.

Professor Gallardo is dedicated to helping you if you put in the work. She offers a lot of extra credit and reviews on assignments. The class was very fast-paced at the beginning and settled out a little towards the end when it was harder to maintain focus. I learned so much in this class and definitely recommend taking it with Professor Gallardo.

Great class, great professor! Super interesting and engaging lectures. A little bit of group work but she assigns the groups. There is one research paper due at the end of the semester but its not too challenging and you get to pick the topic. Tests are a bit challenging if you dont study and pay attention in class.

I took Professor Gallardo's class last semester, and I have to say it sucked. There was very little help offered and every time I asked for it she would just say look at the notes/textbook. The class's content was very interesting however, DO NOT TAKE IT FROM GALLARDO.

for the record, I finished this class with almost an A. I only ever made C's on the exams but I made A's on virtually every other assignment including the research papers and in textbook activities and quizzes. The exams are very picky and I feel that since they are departmentalized that its hard to show what you know and get an A for it.

Dr. Gallardo's class was difficult because of the amount of work assigned, but the expectations/rubrics were always very clear. The textbook she uses is long, and you definetly need it for the class, but it is interesting and the writers are funny sometimes. Don't choose this class if you want a low-effort A. Do take this class if you like psych.

Due to my love for Psychology, I was able to enjoy this class, but I struggled to barley pass. The tests are incredibly hard and the launchpad work is extremely time consuming. The essays and department assignment was however fun and she does not grade those harshly. You will have nearly 200 assignments per semester. Good luck.
