Reviews of professor Rudy Contreras

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I loved this class. Very easy to follow. Takes a very long time to respond to emails. You must rent or purchase the textbook to take this class. Gives extra credit. 2 attempts on each test. Assignments are the same each week. In general, this class is very easy.

Professor Contreras basically lectures out of the book, which I didn't mind. Each week we read a chapter, then had a quiz and two assignments to reflect on what we learned. The studying was time consuming which is the only reason I rated a 2 in difficulty, other than that, it was really easy. He is super nice and flexible with due dates!

Contreras made psych very interesting and he kept the lectures interesting with fun questions and funny TV scenes. I would totally take this class again without a question.

I took him for PSYCH101 and he was the BEST. Wish he taught other psych classes besides beginner classes. I would love to be in another class with him. He makes it easy to understand and is overall just incredible.

Definitely take him. He is super easy. Quizzes and tests are extremely easy. I love the discussion section which is very interesting. The topics covered in class made me really love to study psychology. This class is helpful and intriguing.

I have always struggled with math and was so nervous to take this class. Professor Contreras was honestly my hero, he made stats easy to understand and was really helpful and accessible. He teaches you what you need to know and the questions on exams are very similar to the homework. If you understand the homework you will do great. Take him!

Prof C is super nice, he makes stats understandable. Best to attend class but has videos if u miss. 3 open note tests. 10 question quizzes (answers on quizlet) and usually around 5 hw problems every week. Best to do the hw so you understand but its very manageable so dont stress. Forgiving about late work and allows test corrections. Take him!!!

Really just wants his students to pass. He is very accommodating since the recent switch to mainly online courses, and understands the difficulty that might bring to students. He accepts late work, and clearly goes over everything that needs to be done, and gives extra class time to complete work.

Rudy is one of my favorite professors, which makes me hate online class. However his lectures are fun, and educating . He is so sweet and understanding. He excepts late work because he understand we have lives and Covid sucks. You have the same 2 assignment and one chapter test every week, but it's super easy and you can finish in 20-25 min.

His lectures are very clear, and he allows late work to be turned in. However, the only downside is that sometimes he can get off topic and ramble about his personal life.
