Andres De Los Reyes PSYC436 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/13/2025	Andy is a great professor and very nice human being, and his classes are simple. If you're super interested in this class for you career or major definitely come in person to all the lectures and be active-ask questions and talk. He's super passionate about his job and very knowledgeable in this field of clinical psychology. Either way it is an easy A like everyone is saying: attendance is optional, there are 6 reaction papers (2 pages) you have to complete throughout the semester and you can choose which ones you do, and one final group presentation where you choose the topic and create a poster (which you present in smaller groups, informally).
Andres De Los Reyes PSYC436 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/07/2025	An amazing professor, who you can tell truly cares for his students and wants them to succeed. He "hates exams" (same), so his class structure consists of choosing 5 readings and reaction papers (2 pages, super doable) out of 9 that he assigns. The only other part of the class is a randomly assigned group project where you choose one of those 9 readings to make a poster and present at the end of semester. Again, super doable. The lectures are not mandatory so participation definitely decreases throughout the semester. But I always make an effort to go because the material is super interesting and he is so sweet. There's no vocab to learn, no need to take notes, just paying attention and participating in discussion is enough. Nothing bad to say about him at all, definitely take this class!!!

I found the class material super interesting and actually read a lot of it. No textbook, the readings are fully from peer reviewed journals. Reaction papers (80% of grade) are easy and you only have to do 6/10. Group project (20% of grade) is also pretty chill. I hope I can take his other class too!

Andres De Los Reyes PSYC436 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/17/2024	This course focuses mainly on reviewing and reflecting on research literature spanning many different topics within Clinical Psychology. Andy will lecture about the topic, and then take time for the class to reflect, comment, and ask questions about the content. This class made me so much more comfortable with reading and analyzing research literature, and made me much more aware about how we might benefit from changes to the current research and publication processes in place. If you have interest in going into Clinical Psychology in any capacity, and specifically research, I would highly recommend taking this course. Course Details: It is a very straightforward course, and as long as you read the assigned papers and complete the assignments you will almost certainly receive an A. Each week there will be a lecture reading, discussion reading, and an optional reading before the Friday class. Based on these readings there are 10 reaction papers (2 pages double-spaced), of which you only have to complete 6. In addition, there is a group project that is presented at the end of the semester.

You choose which weeks you want to complete a short 2 page reaction paper for, which are the bulk of your grade. Class focuses more on developments in clinical psychology and how to expand the field rather than current clinical practice, which was not what I was expecting but still interesting. He also focuses more on children and adolescent mental health, which does give a unique perspective. Exams are fair and he gives a very helpful lecture beforehand that goes over all the topics that will be on the exam. Andy also has good advice for graduate school and career planning, and great knowledge of the research psychology field. Basically, if you try a little in this class you will get an A, but engaging in class will give you a better perspective on the field. Would definitely recommend to people interested in clinical psychology, research into clinical psychology, or if you just need to fill a credit.
