Student reviews of Juan Salinas
Review from a student who took PSY301
This class is easy. I made a B, but I never went to class. If you do go to class (sober), and actually pay attention, you can make an A- no sweat. Salinas is funny and interesting. Highly recommend this class.

Review from a student who took psy 301
excellent professor. Makes all lectures interesting and even entertaining; makes you almost WANT to go to class! Easy A, especially if you print the overheads online and take notes on them. 5 50 question multiple choice tests are given (including the final which is just another test) lowest one is dropped. Not only is this an easy A but you'll learn a lot from this professor, especially if bio-psych and things of that nature are not your "cup of tea"!

Review from a student who took PSY301
Really good teacher, if you're looking for an easy intro to psych definitely take him. His tests are a piece of cake if you just put a little effort into studying, and his lectures are very entertaining; also one the tests is dropped so if you screw up it won't hurt you in the long run. All in all I very much enjoyed his class.

Review from a student who took PSY 301
This class was great. He makes the subject interesting. Half of his examples include references to his personal experiences with mind altering drugs. Because, as others have mentioned, one test is dropped, I managed to not need to go to class for the last month of class because I had an A after four tests. That's really nice, it gives you a chance to concentrate on your other classes. Take it. Can't go wrong.

Review from a student who took PSY 301
TAKE THIS CLASS! Very easy A and he is a great lecturer. Very funny and I love his personal references to his own life. Tests are easy and no need to even buy the book. Everything comes straight from the notes that you can print offline. If you miss class sometimes it won't really hurt you, and do good on the tests so you don't have to take the last one.

Review from a student who took PSY 332
I took Behavioral Neuroscience with him. HE SUCKS!! His lectures DO NOT prepare you for his tests. I was told he was an easy A....maybe in PSY301 but NOT any other classes. He is a lazy ass who won't respond to your emails over the weekend, and will normally take him two days or more to just get back to you during the week. DON'T TAKE SALINAS. He obviously hates his job. He is stupid.

Review from a student who took Psy 301
He's a hilarious professor who teaches from overhead slides that he puts on the internet. If you come to class with the print outs and take notes on them, you'll have basically all you need for an A. Read the book for supplement if you need it. He makes boring stuff like biopsych a bit more bearable.

Review from a student who took PSY 301
He tries to make lectures interesting and it's very easy to follow along in class. He lectures from transparencies which you can download online. If you just study the lecture notes you should do well.

Review from a student who took PSY 332
This class was a breeze with regular attendance and a few hours of reviewing before the exam. I highly recommend taking any class with Juan; he is easily the most entertaining professor on campus.

Review from a student who took PSY 301
I really liked his classes. No homework and I pretty much just had to listen to him. It was hard to take notes so I didn't and just recorded his lectures. His stories are really interesting and I think I learned a lot. Just copy all the slides he puts up on the website and pay attention in class and you'll be fine.

Review from a student who took PSY 301
Simple class. Easy A without going to class. One test grade is dropped so if you do well on all the tests you can skip the final.
