Comment:

AWESOME professor!!! When you learn about a new type of therapy, he demonstrates it in class and then allows you to try it out on one another (for fun, not for a grade). Only 4 tests. He gives you a review of EXACTLY what you need to study. You don't need to buy the textbook because he emails you one he wrote.

BEST CLASS I'VE EVER HAD AT UCF. He always kept it interesting. Lots of class participation needed. He definitely cares about you & tries to help you as much as he can. Just go up & talk to him. You do need to study but he gives you the questions on the test. He takes attendance at times for a bit of credit. He emails you his book, no need to buy!

Comment:

class is so boring he just talks in circles about stuff metaphorically & honestly it's confusing lol. BUT..he does give you reviews of EVERY question that's on the test & tells you where to find the answers. just 4 tests MC. nothing else. 4 hour class sucks, but occasionally it's enjoyable. nice guy just really abstract

Comment:

Good guy, very easy A, and you still learn useful information pertaining to counseling psychology (specifically HIS style of counseling),if as a psych major you are into the scientific aspects of psych and research, might have a problem because everything he teaches based on metaphor and no science, but still a useful point of view of psych to have

Very easy class! He does take attendance, but his test "reviews" are where he gives you every question on the test & then emails you the Powerpoints the answers are on. Very practical for future counselors AND an easy A!

I love Dr. Rini. He is very helpful, caring and interesting. The class itself is not hard...you will enjoy yourself. He tells you exactly what's on the test so there is no guessing like with other professors. It is an Easy A! Highly Reccomended.

If you want an A, take him! He makes an effort to be available outside of class (even though he doesn't have an office). Highly Recommended for those who want a good GPA!

Rini is great, and his class is easy and sometimes interesting. He doesn't teach the information on the exam, but if you download the notes and study the questions, then the test is easy. This class is a relatively easy A!

Notes are online. Have to go to class because attendance 10% of ur grade. Good teacher makes the class interesting. Don't buy the book. 3 tests throughout the year (including final). Gives you the questions to the tests.

Comment:

Lectures have nothing to do with the exam. He gives Q's before the exam, and the answers come from the online powerpoints (DON'T BUY THE BOOK). Very easy, but lectures sound like a one-man therapy session (w/ student volunteers). He does bring interesting experiences to class.

Dr. Rini is the best professor ever! He makes the class so interesting and funny with his demonstrations embarrassing the volunteer student. His exams aren't that difficult if you study a little. Great professor! Take him, you won't regret it!
