Comment:

Took psy of thinking a LONG time ago and it was easily my favourite of all time. I talked about what I was learning in class with friends non stop bc I was so excited. I've gone on to get my master's of social work and it was all because Professor Turtle got me passionate about psychology. A life- changing prof - will never forget him.

Very intelligent, interesting, and passionate about what he is teaching. Very well-prepared for lectures, and has lots of energy. He inspired me to choose Psychology as my major when I wasn't sure which major to choose. Thank you Prof. Turtle! :) Also, he wasn't bad to look at ;)

I absolutely loved John Turtle, amazing prof. His passion for the material he teaches, and the enthusiasm that comes along with it is great. He's pretty hilarious, and evem the topics the he warns us will be "dry" he makes it as interesting as possible. You need to go to his lectures, and understand the text, but marks very fairly.

I had Turtle last semester and as a first year I though he was awesome. He covered all the material and was always welcomed questions. The exams were at least 20percent from the text but were quickly covered in class. He always made joke to get through the boring stuff and overall was enjoyable

He's very intelligent, clear and organizaed. The exams are straightforward; just read the material! The only problem I have, is that he often reiterates simple concepts, and is CONSTANTLY flailing and pacing on the podium! Nevertheless, he made psychology fascinating!

John Turtle is an awesome guy! He made a lot of really boring introductory concepts interesting and fun to learn about. He's hilarious, intelligent, fair and is clearly very passionate about psychology.
