Reviews of professor Yolanda Vasquez-Salgado

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Vasquez is great!! Her exams are based off her lectures and the final is optional if you're satisfied with your grade. A few lecture and film reflections. Her powerpoint slides can be a bit vague at times but she goes more in depth in her lecture vids. Her study guides are true to her exams. She definitely enhanced my liking of dev psy :)

Easy A. Prerecorded lectures, and you need to only take 3 of the 4 tests offered throughout the course. Test is open book and open for 24 hours, heavily based off the prerecorded lectures so you really can't fail. Ample extra credit offered throughout the semester as well, so you have no excuse to get anything below an A.

Dr. Vasquez-Salgado is an amazing professor. She puts on great lectures and is extremely intelligent which is inspiring. Her homework consisted of connecting the lecture with personal reflections. She drops the lowest test grade. Not too easy, not too hard, just perfect. Great class and great professor!

Took her during the winter session. All you have to do is watch all her lectures (v interesting), take 3 (50 quest. multiple choice) exams, & 7 super easy hw assignments (reflections). Exams are straightforward and based on the lectures. She offers 15 points of extra credit. Essentially, if you complete all assignments, you are guaranteed an A.

Lectures were heavy but interesting (research, movies, and videos were presented as examples). She answers students' questions! She responds to e-mails and is WILLING to ACTUALLY HELP you. Exams and grading system were straightforward. To get an A, you need to listen to her lectures and do all the class requirements. Would take her again!

Dr. Vasquez's lectures were very interesting. Her class consisted of 7 reflections of your personal life in connection to her lectures, lots of extra credit, and 4 exams - which by the way she drops the lowest score. She cares that her students succeed and she is very encouraging. I wish I could take another class with her, she's a great professor.

I was worried to take her course due to the lack of reviews & the few that were available. However, I think she is a great professor & really clear. This is an online, asynchronous class due to COVID. Her class is really organized in layout, she posts her lectures weekly, min. assignments, & she easily gives full points on hw if you follow instruct

Very kind, accessible, responsive, organized, helpful professor. Exams are very straight forward, based mostly on lectures. You must pay close attention to lectures and take good notes. She presents lecture info clearly. No weird tricks or surprises. Respectful atmosphere.
