Raquel R. Akillas, M.A.
Professor of Psychology


If you enter my live lecture you will see a lot of discussion, real life examples, and application. I help students voice their opinion. I also try to show students how their life experiences fit into current psychological theories. What is the point of taking a psychology class if you can't apply it to real life? The course requirements, objectives, and materials are made very clear. I stay with a concept until the class fully understands it. I also believe in using everyday language to explain concepts. Lastly, in my classes you will laugh! I like to teach with a lot of humor. Although I take the material very seriously, I find it important to create a relaxing atmosphere for learning.

  • Psy 011 General Psychology
