There is a lot of reading in this class around 2 chapters per week in the summer. Focus on reading, make sure you know the study guide like the back of your hand. The study guide is really straightforward and you will likely get an A. Although she can be a little rude at times, the class is pretty easy.

Shes one of the best psch professors at UIC. Shes very knowledgeable in all the subjects she teaches and can easily relate a topic to real life situations. Shes one of few professors who actually has clinical experience in the psychology field. She also gives lots of extra credit. Shes very easy to communicate with!! 3 exams. 1 paper.

Professor Ochoa had some of the best psych lectures I've ever heard in my scholastic career. She really cares about her students and emphasized the importance of mental health in college. Her exams are very straightforward because her study guides are made with great detail. Take this class with her if you are able to!

She's super kind and full of knowledge. She talks about her personal experiences a lot, which makes class super fun and engaging. She opens up the class for discussions, which makes the class really interesting. I don't think there has ever been a boring lecture with her. She's helpful outside of class as well and wants the best for her students.

Easy A if that's all you care about. I found her incredibly boring, rigid, and inside-the-box. She harped on and on about proper APA citation, prioritizing commas and periods more than the actual subject material. Topics were ones I'm very interested in, but she left me completely unimpressed. Had no original fruitful thinking. Very annoying.

Dr. Ochoa was amazing! I have taken multiple classes with her and she is always superb. She only grades based on attendance, 1 paper, 1 exam, and 1 group project. She is very knowledgeable and cares for the futures of her students. I recommend taking a class with her as she is very experienced in her field.

She is so passive-aggressive. She does not make the test available when she said it should be and does not admit to her mistakes. We are not allowed late work or excuses, oh but she gets to have excuses. She does not upload presentations on time. There is a lot of homework but the grading is easy. Her live sessions are just rants.

Prof. Ochoa-Galindo is seriously the best of the best when it comes to psych. She is very funny and keeps you engaged with the material. She is not a hard grader and is very understanding. Participate! it is not mandatory but you will enjoy the class more if you do. The material is interesting. This might be my second rating on her.
