Reviews of professor Heloisa Alves

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Alves is a chill professor. Very easy going, organized and her lectures can be a little long, but for the most part they are interesting. Sometimes she records attendance so be careful. Overall, super easy class and only consists of hw's and exams.

Eh. Doesn't take attendance and though she's well educated and kind- you probably learned more in high school Psych or AP Psych. The class is dumb easy and I would take it again in a heartbeat- she just isn't entertaining. If you're looking for an easy 101 course, look no further.

Dr Alves will most likely scare the cr*p out of you when you first meet her, i'm not going to lie.. But she is actually amazing, and if I could take more classes with her I would! She cares about what she teaches so of course she'll be hard on you. Just show her you're trying! She does give pop quizzes but trust me, you'll figure out her algorithm.

Professor Alves is really nice and funny. Her class is easy, good lectures (all tests and quizzes are online). She does give 3 or 4 written minor assignments which she brags about never giving anyone a perfect score (you will most likely still do fine). You can tell she really loves her job and cares for her students. Attendance is not mandatory.

Lectures were all info-dumps, made it hard to understand topics while taking notes. Professor flies through lectures just to get through them. Exams and HWs are all online, which is helpful, but still really challenging topics. If you take this class, I recommend studying a lot and asking questions during class. Also take notes on slides

Overall your grade comes from application friday's, online quizzes, and online exams. Shes fun and funny but her lectures are rather long and all the info is the in the book

Dr Alves gives great lectures by not only supplying you with the slides, but adds to them when she feels Pearson hasnt done you justice. Will bring a brain at least once. Cancels class every time she gives an exam (4 per semester). Attendance isnt necessary but you learn more from how she lectures.

Scary at first, but you can tell shes truly passionate about her job. She really tries to make difficult info easy to understand and she doesnt include some really hard and unnecessary topics on quizzes and tests to make things easier. Absolutely loved her and lectures were really helpful.

Tests were all online and for the most part took information straight from her lectures. The homework was from the book and was time consuming but easy overall. She did take attendance and would take 11% off your grade for missing more than 3 classes so you have to show up but overall she is fun to have an its an easy class
