Ana Navarro Cebrian PSYC404 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/06/2023	One of the best classes I have ever taken at UMD. Dr. Navarro is one of the nicest professors here and clearly is so passionate about what she teaches. The exams are straight forward and directly from her PowerPoints, and additionally she bolds the stuff she wants you to know. There is no homework, just a group project that is super easy to get done in one day and sometimes practice clinical discussion posts due before exams. The exams are multiple choice on your computer in class and you get your grade back as soon as you submit. They usually took me 20 minutes tops to complete. I highly recommend this course because it is incredibly interesting and Dr. Navarro gives you all the tools you need to get an A so you can focus on how interesting the content is rather than stressing about the exams.
Ana Navarro Cebrian PSYC404 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/02/2023	Quite literally THE best class I have taken in my time at UMD. I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Navarro. She is so clearly passionate about what she teaches. She made me fall in love with neuro in NEUR200 and pharmacology with this class. She is very kind, helpful, and super laid back. The course is extremely easy as long as attend lecture. The exams are based almost entirely on the PowerPoints and there is a group project towards the end of the semester. It is really hard not to do well in this class as long as you go to lecture, take notes, and study the PowerPoints. The discussions and content in this course are extremely engaging and her personal anecdotes are fascinating. I heavily recommend this course if you like neuro (although the course is not super neuro heavy) and want to learn more about drugs.
Ana Navarro Cebrian PSYC404 Anonymous 12/15/2021	Dr. Cebrian is very nice and the class is pretty straightforward. She teaches off her PowerPoints, which she uploads beforehand, making it useful if you miss class. We watch videos sometimes. She's very receptive of questions and is very personable. She will often share stories of her experiences with patients and make the lecture more of a conversation. The exams are multiple choice. By nature of this class being pharmacology, most of the information is memory-based (drugs, drug names, side effects, etc.), so be prepared to memorize a decent amount. My only real complaint for this class is that grading is very slow. The exams are scantron but for some reason it took 2-3 weeks for us to receive our grades, which was annoying. There is a long-term project as well, which still hasn't been graded even though it has been a month (was due early November, is now early December). A little nerve-wracking in that sense, but overall it's an interesting and straightforward class.
