Comment:

He's a teddy bear. And had online quizzes for my class every week so it was a granted 100. I heard that he started making them in class though.. Super nice, will NOT let you leave the room and will point you out if he sees you on your laptop or phone. Has very interesting topics and stories integrated into the class as well as fun surveys.

Great professor overall, if you really actually put in effort into this class you will do well. Most people only do poorly because they fail to listen to the professor's instructions, but in reality he is a very helpful and clear teacher!

Comment:

I took this class last semester and and all of the quizzes were online and the answers were straight from the textbook.Very easy. He's interesting and definitely know his stuff. He has great stories that relate to subjects but monotonous when it comes to teaching what's needed for tests. You'll get an A if you pay attention and do the work.

Comment:

Thought it'd be a fun and easy class since I actually love Psychology. Wrong. I gave up half way through the semester because although he does try to give you extra credit, my grade was in constant jeopardy. Oh, and forget about the curving on quizzes. Also, don't get up to use the bathroom. He hates that. Basically, pray for a miracle.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT SOMETHING EASY! This class you have to read the textbook, take notes in class and there are essays as well as a test for every chapter. HOWEVER, this class was the most rewarding class i have ever experienced and he is such a fair and sweet man. He truly cares for the students that try in his class.

Comment:

Thought this would be an easy A and fun class. WRONG! Thought this professor was trying to make me crazy. Exams for every chapter, timed and very difficult. Final is cumulative of 15 chapters, no study guide. Impossible. Such a boring man. Seems cool at first bust so boring. TA's do everything. DO ALL EXTRA CREDIT IF YOU WANT TO PASS.

Take him, especially if you're a psych major. He's funny, clear and teaches in a great way. I loved going to his classes. You will learn and never be bored. He's very accommodating and very clear about exactly what he wants. Plenty of opportunities to get an A.

Absolutely loved this class. It is absolutely amazing. He is a great professor and is extremely engaging. There are 11 tests lowest one gets dropped. 2 essay tests and a final and there are so many chances to earn extra credit. its near impossible to fail this class.

Great guy, great professor. Class was very interesting, especially the discussion part-you walk away with some interesting life lessons. Some people complain that his exams are hard, but all you have to do is make sure you keep up with the readings in the book. Def. recommend him!

He's real funny and really knows what hes taking about. The test are hard at first but once you get use to it there not that bad. The books a lot of money but you NEED to buy it. Other then the book being a weeks pay i highly recommend this class. You leave learning a little bit more about yourself each day.

Comment:

He is funny and not that boring.THE ONLY THING THAT GETS ON MY NERVES IS THAT HIS EXAMS ARE TIMED. WHAT FOR? EXAMS ARE STRESSFUL ENOUGH. WHY PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE ON SOMEONE WHILE TAKING ONE? GIVE US A BREAK. (PLEASE. THIS IS THE WORST METHOD AND IT CAN SERIOUSLY MAKE SOMEONE FAIL THE COURSE.

i defiantly recommend taking him. he is extermly helpful and gives tons of extra credit. after each test there is an online exam which is not hard as long as you pay attention in class. If you read the chapters youll get an A but evven if you dont you can still do good
