Comment:

There is no way NOT to get an A in this class. He grades the entire course on a 1000 point system and all extra credit he offers adds up to 100+ points. I never got A's on the test, only B's and i never read a chapter in the book or took notes, LISTEN in class, do ALL the extra credit and you can raise whatever grade you have by a WHOLE LETTER.

Comment:

Make sure you go to class, sometimes he fills his lecture with some personal experiences that you can't find in the powerpoints or the book. He offers a lot of extra credit so make sure you take advantage of that. Overall fairly easy class as long as you take notes and do the required readings.

Comment:

His class is a bit boring (reads directly from powerpoints, has a soporific voice), but generally fine. The problematic part is that he requires you to purchase and write a report on an off-topic Christian book that he wrote. Professors should not require you to pander to their religious views or take advantage of their students for monetary gain.

Good professor, funny guy, and a pretty fair grader. His tests are extremely easy if you even attempt to study, and PowerPoints are all posted online, so coming to class is only useful to pick up on in class stuff he includes in each exam. Tons of grades in this class, and lots of extra credit, so it's not hard to get a good grade.

Comment:

I struggled with his tests. It's the one thing I really didn't like about his class even though I tried studying for them. Yet, he is a funny and really nice guy. He actually does care a lot. Because of the extra credits I didn't end up with anything lower than a B even with a few bad test grades. DO ALL EXTRA CREDITS!

I loved Dr. Worthington's lectures. He is very funny and he definitely knows what he is talking about. His quirky stories actually helped me with the subject. Overall, a little extra effort in Dr. Worthington's class can go a long way. Attend his lectures, because if he randomly takes attendance you get extra credit points!

Comment:

Dr. Worthington is a very funny and studied man. From what I understand he is a big deal in the field of psychology. However, he tells more stories than useful information. As a non-psych major I enjoyed this, but if you really want to learn his class isn't for you. His tests are more about being a good test taker than knowing the information.

Read the modules and study the powerpoints. It's not a difficult class, you just need to pay attention. He isn't a good teacher. He talks about himself a lot.

this class is outrageous mr.worthington is a funny teacher but his test are crazy he puts random answer choices up there and they are the most random questions he only teaches what he likes not what's in the books. on the flip side he gives lots of extra credit. this class moves fast and sit in the front because he refuses to use the mic .

I LOVED Dr. Worthington. After taking his class, I am honestly a psych major now (for undergrad). He is such a nice and funny old man. I loved going to class because it was pretty interesting material, but he made me actually want to learn it. His tests are kind of hard, but he gives extra credit throughout the semester. He's an awesome teacher!

Dr. Worthington's class is hardly engaging. Hard to focus and hear him. Psych 101 is a 4 credit class but it is grueling. His tests are IMPOSSIBLE to get an A or B. reading the text will not help. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT IT WILL SAVE YOU.

He's a great teacher. He might go off on tangents sometimes but they're usually funny. He's also easy to talk to and in my opinion, the class feels comfortable and natural. Yes, you have to read your textbook ALOT but he gives ALOT of extra credit chances so if you completely bomb the test, there's always a second chance. Two thumbs up!

Comment:

I'm not sure what I expected out of Psych 101 exactly, but if you want an easy A take Dr. Worthington's class. If you want an engaging, challenging course that allows you to think a little differently than just regurgitating facts and being held to a low standard, this class is not for you. He's a wonderful person, the class just feels too silly.

Comment:

Dr. Worthington is a pretty swell guy IMO. His test are very hard to me but there are sooooo many extra credit opportunities he gives throughout the semester that make up for some low scores. He gave opportunity for over 100 pts extra cretdit on a 1000 pt scale! He also has other assignments which are pretty easy that count for a lot. take him

This is a professor that doesn't require you to go to class, but you need to go to class in order to do well on his tests. Very very nice guy and an experienced professor.

Comment:

His lectures are mainly stories which I find very interesting and they most likely show up on tests, so make notes. I read a LOT and study a LOT. It's 4 credits and you EARN all 4, trust me. He makes it interesting though, it's definitely not boring. Tests aren't hard if you READ & STUDY. The book he wrote, that you have to read, is very good.

Even though I put that attentance isn't mandatory GO TO HIS LECTURES. they are so worth it. this man is extremely intelligent and humorous and his stores and novels are great. Required to read one of his books and write a paper but his books are very interesting and include some of his stories he tells. Great man. SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT DO IT!!!

Comment:

He is AMAZING. Before I had his course I was never too interested in psych and now i'm majoring in it until I get into my grad level. He makes class VERY interesting, and is also very real. I was dreading the assigned reading (as always) but it was really interesting and not too hard. I DEFINITELY recommend him to everyone who is taking psych 101.

He is FANTASTIC!I didn't care abotu PSYCH before this class and now I love it. He makes everything interesting, and talks about sex alot (which I thought was hilarious). His tests were pretty easy and he offers tons of ex credit, the only draw back is that 90% of the test material comes from the book... and he expects you to read every page!

GREAT TEACHER!!! I reccommend him for anyone interested in psych, he makes it interesting and fun! There is work, not anymore then what's expected from anyother class. he offers tons of extra credit and his exams aren't hard as long as you study (and he adds really funny choices on the tests too). Wonderful guy!
