Reviews of professor Lorena Navarro

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She reads directly off the slides, and when students ask her to elaborate, she says "she doesn't know" or "we don't have time". On multiple occasions she just plays pre-recorded lectures. It's disappointing since this is a 3-hour-long in-person class that runs until 10 pm. There's a group project that has very little to do with course material.

Navarro is the worst professor I have ever had. She reads directly off the slides, cannot answer SIMPLE questions about the material OR ASSIGNMENTS, and stalls class for 10, 15 or 40 minutes (that really happened) talking about literally anything we will talk about to delay class. I have to teach myself. Do NOT take her.

Dr. Navarro does two things: read off her powerpoint slides and has students lecture every class for a majority of the class. In the beginning she assigns a group of students a chapter and they have to make a 45min presentation (half the class) and then we watch videos. She gives everyone attitude, is always late, and does not respond to emails.

Worst professor I've had in my college career. Had her for 2 different classes and she reads write off the slides. Can't expand on the material and she wastes too much class time on irrelevant things. She seems so uneducated on the material and starts class late every single day. Don't take if you're a psych major who actually wants to learn.

She may read off of the slides and get her entire powerpoint from the textbook, but she used realistic examples to help us understand the concepts. I studied a lot with the use of her study guides which were helpful and got A's on all exams! Her papers were easy too and she gives good feedback. Go to her office hours because it'll be helpful!

Do not take her. She reads from the slides and gives absolutely no insight into the material.

I really enjoyed Dr. Navarro's class. It was less stressful compared to other psych classes, so I really enjoyed learning the material. She is sweet and relatable. I totally recommend taking her class.

I'm sure Professor Navarro is a kind and intelligent person, just not a good instructor. Pros: -easy MC exams -one gets dropped -two short papers -easy grader Cons: -Grading criteria for both papers is ambiguous -reads the slides verbatim (LITERALLY)  boring -replies to emails 5+ days later -gives unconstructive feedback during office hours
