Comment:

Overall he's a good guy. Short quiz given every class but if prepared, easy points. Spends 3/4 of class on short 5-7 question quiz. Tells storys or shows video for remainder of class. Most of the work is outside of class, stay on top of the "SSG". EASY "B".

Comment:

This was the worst class ever! He gives out tons of homework every night. After the first day of class I was doing homework just for his class for 7 hours. Half the class dropped his class after the first day. Do not take his class.

Comment:

Assigned gratuitous amounts of work for a short semester. Insisted on essay responses which he did not read. He began the class by throwing out an idea and setting us up into groups. We would form opinions in our "tribe" and then share ours with the other groups in a sort of council. He barely even babysat. It was like a sociology study. Avoid it.

Very loud man. One of those teachers where answers have to be verbatim out of the "SSG" which you will soon learn is your worst nightmare. When you do get used to the course load, though, you'll pretty much be guaranteed a B, an A is hard/near impossible to get though, sorry.

He SUCKS as a "Dr/Professor" The worst teacher I've ever had. All he talked about was global warming and showed the oldest most inaccurate videos ever. He doesnt even grade or read any of the work you spend hours doing.

Comment:

This teacher was horrible!! work was easy but there's ALOT. Dont question his answers because he's got a "PhD" and he knows EVERYTHING. in all honesty the class was easy but the teacher was useless. BUT i would take him over dr. bell. all in all if you like massive amounts of homework and you dont have a personal life you should be fine.

seriously this class couldnt have been easier. Everyone complains about him, but the work is so easy. A lot of work, but its extremely easy. Just go to every class and do the good amount of easy homework and you will def get an A. Funny professor as well. I enjoyed him.

Comment:

This teacher was terrible. he believes that you can not have an opinion on something unless you have a PHD on the subject. Not to mention he has strong opinions that are misinformed. Very frustrating and not a useful class at all.

Comment:

He is the worst teach I have ever had. He does not help you if you need it and doesnt care even if someone has died in your family. He teachs off Dr. Bells class and does not even know what he is talking about. He told my class they were stupid and he couldnt believe almost the whole class failed. Our whole class dissagreed with him on something an

Comment:

He is against females, confused, angry, grumpy, old, mean, can't explain anything, and a horrible teacher. don't get on his bad side or you wont get an A. Just do all the work, attempt the A project, and you should be good to go.

Is Dr. Bell's puppet boy and teaches exatcly like him with one exception, he doesn; know anything about psychology. I really thought that his "Dr." title was fake and he was there for Dr. Bell to experiment on us.

Comment:

Ok guy, not that good of a teacher. Uses Dr. Bell's sylabus and a few times he looked at it himself and said "wow this is confusing". Didn't really learn anything about Psychology. I did F quality homework which he didn't even read just puts a check mark on it. I got a B in a 5 week summer course so i'm not gonna be that harsh on him.

Comment:

find somebody who has taken this class in a previous session. the class is easy but the workload is a lot. like i said find somebody with all of the work because he uses it semester after semester and you will be able to get an "A" grade.
