Reviews of professor Efren Velazquez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Velazquez is phenomenal for Cross-Cultural Psych. He is very passionate about the material and does a good job explaining it and answering student questions. Reading is required for both weekly quizzes and discussion posts. Only criticism is that he'll make the class feel awkward with lots of questions if they're not vocal enough. Funny guy!

He is very charismatic, caring, and a genuine professor. I would take his class again. His class is doable if you can manage to do the work. He is also strict with attendance, and deadlines for assignments, but overall he is a great professor, and would recommend taking a class with him.

A wonderful professor. Very funny and caring towards students. Decent amount of homework (packback, achieve, surveys) with 3 tests and 1 final (each requires a scantron). Few group assignments: writing on paper for 5 mins for participation. Just do the homework and the study guides you'll be good. Bad reviews are left by lazy/spiteful students.

I actually took his diversity studies class, not sure why it wasn't listed to choose for this rate. Show up to class, participate and do the work, if you do these things it's a guaranteed A. He is caring but straight forward so don't take things personal and don't expect to be babied.

Tough professor / class. You will have to put in effort to do well and you will earn very point, don't take with other demanding classes. Dr.V is a great lecturer and will do his part to help you. Exams were difficult and tricky, but not unfair. Class may be easier with other professors, but in taking him I feel better prepared for what comes next.

Mr. Velazquez is literally my favorite professor! His teaching style made it so fun to learn and his notes were easy to decipher. He is hilarious and the class in general is just so much fun. I honestly was just taking the class because I needed one more for my schedule, but he was so inspirational and has made me consider a career in psychology.

Dr. V is a great professor who is passionate about what he does and knows what he is teaching. There is a textbook, but lectures are very heavy and if you pay attention you only need to skim it. Very homework-heavy, stay on top of it and you will be fine. He is a great professor just very involved so be prepared and make sure you participate.

He is a great professor. He is very sarcastic, don't take it personally. Will joke around with you. Due date for lab assignments are very strict. If you read the textbook and study what he says is important, you can pass. This class does require a lot of effort. Would not take it with other difficult classes, especially biopsych.
