Comment:

I took his class weekly 6pm 3 hour class. Usually we were let out early, but honestly it didnt matter because time went by really fast in his class due to how fun it was. Completely engaging teacher who isnt afraid to voice his opinion. You have to take a lot of notes to pass bc all of his exams are based off of anything mentioned in-class.

Tests are crazy specific and hard. Pay attention to the videos in class!!! He tests you based on if you showed up to class or not and payed attention.. barely anything tested about actually psychology..

Comment:

You have to pay attention to little details that are in lectures or videos. They will pop up on the test and you'll be confused, as some of his test questions are completely irrelevant to the course material and he'll just throw them in there to see if you're paying close attention.

Comment:

By the end of the semester, I could not tolerate his behavior. He only thinks himself. Some of his information was interesting and I did learn; however, he was biased on cultures and religions from his own experiences. So, needless to say, that is what you are tested on. When you are taking his test: think like him, not yourself

Comment:

Really cool guy but can be really sassy and snappy. Not much on the slides and there's no book, so you'll be taking notes the whole time. 3 exams and 1 extra credit paper. Not that hard but some exam questions are things he has never specified. No study guides, it's a ton to study for such short tests, some very specific questions. Gotta study

look, this professor is a NIGHTMARE. No joke, he's absolutely terrible. Awful lectures that are just all over the place and no study materials given during the week. It's terrible. Don't take classes from this professor if you can help it.

This course is not that hard, but with this professor it is! I failed two exams because there was no book for this course! He doesn't share his notes or videos on Webcourses! I really didn't know from where and how to study for the exams.. He always thinks he's right and doesn't like to be wrong about anything

Comment:

In Negy's class, you gotta pay really close attention to minute details because that is usually what he tests for. He had us read two books, I skimmed through both and was fine. His textbook did not appear on the exams at all. Just focus on the little details, write the extra credit paper, and you'll be fine.

Comment:

You're only graded on a couple quizzes, and they are a bit difficult. Don't expect to get an A if you don't study and take good notes. Doesn't post any lectures online, so attendance is a necessity and write down almost everything he says, even if you don't think it's important. I've had him for two classes now and he's a very interesting prof.

I love professor Negy!!! Great teacher. Very smart knows what hes talking about and super funny! I have him for three hours Tuesday nights and he made sure the class was not bored. Super interesting. I would have gotten an A but somehow messed up one of my tests. If you read his book and go to class you will have no problems. Wish I could go again

Pro. Negy is a great lecturer! I've taken him twice and he was great in both classes. No homework, but read two books + his book for exams. Only had 5, with the last being the final exam. Each had only 20 questions, in-class. Did have extra credit. Did send articles for us to read about a topic covered in class too.

Comment:

I am a solid B student and this class was an absolute joke. His lectures are disorganized and does not give you access to his notes online. There are 5 tests which have no relation to his textbook (he is the author) and it was expensive. He goes through the material quickly so nothing even abides to his syllabus. I wish I took this class online.

Comment:

Negy is the most hilarious professor at UCF, does not care if he offends you at all. Expresses all of his opinions. Wrote his own book, memorize it & you'll do good (not hard its like a summary of a normal book, just important info). MC exams in class, got an A on all of them. Very entertaining lectures, I took a 3 hr night class, usually out early

Comment:

The class itself is not hard. I am big on respect. You don't have to agree but just because you don't agree/ believe something doesn't make it silly or. He almost has an air of "I'm above you, I'm so cultured/ knowledgeable" it's annoying. Sometimes he's funny, to me he's kind of dull. You can be funny, witty, sarcastic without being dismissive

his class is 4 tests & study participations (worth 10) if youre not a good test taker, do NOT take! theres easier teachers out there. his tests are meant to confuse you, & he often makes mistakes on them. he plays videos during class that are later on the tests, so attendance is important!!

He's very sarcastic and witty which makes his long lectures enjoyable. His tests aren't hard as long as you read the textbook and watch the in-class videos he prepares. He's a bit intimidating but it goes to show that he KNOWS what he is talking about

Probably the best professor I've had at UCF. Some love him, some hate him.. but he's a real gem honestly. Hilarious and gives interesting lectures. You probably won't care for him if you're religious or an idiot. But he's great. Take any class with him. He made me fall in love with psychology.

I am so glad I got to take this class! He is funny and makes his lectures as interesting as possible. You can never get bored. But you got to read A LOT for the class to pass as the tests are usually around 20 questions, 5 points each. His lectures do contain information not present in textbooks and vice versa. And be ready to keep an open mind.

Definitely recommend! There aren't many grades throughout the semester but as long as you show up to each lecture, pay attention, take notes and study the textbook, then you're guaranteed an A! Loved the manner in which he taught, extremely funny professor!
