This was one of my favorite professors I have had! We had four tests, online quizzes due every Monday and a few projects and he offered extra credit to get your grade up. He is really helpful during office hours and cares about his students. Really recommend taking him for Psyc210 or any other class!

He is probably one of my favorite professors I've had. The book is helpful but can get a good grade by going to lectures and taking notes. Apple is a great guy to talk to and very helpful so don't be afraid to ask him questions.

Apple is a very entertaining good professor can be annoying at times but overall here for you. Hard class and a lot of material to learn. Get ready for exams they are hard. SPSS sucks and he gives a lot of it.

HE IS AWESOME!!! Take his class whenever you get the chance to. He is beyond funny and makes the class enjoyable (even statistics). He also is very personable and works hard to remember your name, so you can tell he really loves his job.

Prof Apple is amazing. He made hard material easier. I love when teachers are passionate about what they teach, and you can really tell that he wants you to pass. He gives out peer tutors, and reading worksheets which you can use to study. Reading the book will help a lot! He takes attendance, but is understanding. Four tests. Take him if you can!

Dr. Apple is probably the best professor I have had at JMU to date. He is funny, knows the material, and really cares about his students and their successes. He does what he can to include everybody, and overall is incredible. Highly recommend.

Apple is a beast, the information in his lectures is concise and doesn't provide any information that isn't useful. He genuinely cares about his students and wants you to succeed. I suggest buying the book you wont read it all but it helpful for his exams.

TAKE HIM!!! He made the statistic in psych 210 so easy to understand and didnt make it more difficult than it needed to be. Show up, take notes, get extra help from the tutors, do the PCQ's, SPSS projects are easy, tests are not that bad. And he is such a caring human. take APPLE!!!!

Other comments were pretty spot on. He has a good point, the more practice you give yourself with this material, the better. He literally gives you the materials to succeed. come to class, do the work. note: i merely skimmed through the text most of the time and it really didn't impact performance by much, only a missed 1 point question or two.

Dr. Apple is fantastic! I hated stats and almost failed my freshman year, but he made the concepts so clear and easy to understand, going through each step to solve problems. He's also hilarious and extremely dedicated to his students. Was easily my favorite class of the semester.

I absolutely love Dr. Apple. He is super funny and energetic and he explains things really well! I thought coming into this semester this would be my hardest class but it's not at all because I understand everything he teaches. Not a lot of work for a 4 credit class. Definitely do the worksheets and practice exams before each exam they help a lot!

Comment:

Social psyc has been one of my absolute favorite classes so far! Dr. Apple is hysterical & an amazing teacher. There are a few pre-class questions due every week, a research review, a research proposal & 4 exams. He provides reading guides to help with the text. If you read the textbook & attend class, it's a fairly easy B. Definitely take him!

Dr. Apple is so awesome! His lectures are incredibly entertaining, clear, and interesting! He takes a personal interest in all of his students and is able to connect with everyone. He even created chapter guides to help when reading the chapters which were a huge help! I wish Dr. Apple taught more classes! I would take him for every one! Take him!

Apple is the man. I had his class over the summer and he managed to grab my attention the entire 3 hours every day (partly due to his LOUDNESS when he emphasizes KEY points). He's lots of fun and really easy to talk to in his office.

Professor Apple is amazing. I took his class for a summer session and it was 3.5 hours a day nonstop and he made the time just fly by. He really takes an interest in his students and makes it his goal to ensure that everyone has a solid grasp of the material. The material is not easy but he makes it simple to learn. He even gives away wipes!!

He's really great. I had no interest in statistics whatsoever before this class and by the end I actually didn't mind coming. I used to think I was terrible at math but Apple really turned that around for me.
