One of the best professors I've had because he has the skills to teach and not just the degree. If you want to learn about psychology, this is the class to take. He is very approachable and classes are very interactive. The course was hybrid, very organized, required lot of reading but the exams were not hard and final was easy also. TAKE HIM!!!

The material was straight from the textbook. There were powerpoint & summaries for each chapter along with videos to watch for extra resources. There are 10 tests, 2 media assignments for each chapter, & drop questions that need to be completed each week. Be prepared to read, read, read! As long as you read the material, you'll do fine.

Mr. Pilkington is really into psychology and knows his stuff. My only compliant is that he can be a little bit opinionated as he is not a big fan of the medical side of psychology.

Mr. Pilkington is amazing and understands that we have a load of other classes and doesn't try to overload the students. If you do the required assignments the exams will fall right in place. We need more professors like him at MTC.

This is the best psychology class I have ever taken. He has amazing lectures and is very passionate about what he teaches. I recommend his class to everyone who has to take PSY-201. His tests are not easy, but he posts amazing study resources on D2L.

He has a detailed video showing you everything you need to do. He also does weekly updates. You NEED to read the chapters! Tests are 25 Q's and you are given 30 min to answer. He's very prompt and friendly with email replies... I really enjoyed his class! My advice: build your final exam study guide as you go through the chapters! He is awesome!

He was very upfront before the start of the class of his expectations. Things were laid out in the open and he was always available. Multiple chances to take tests and no mid-term just a Final. Being that I took this class in Summer semester that was helpful for the extra study time because the Summer semester is shorter. Good approachable teacher.

Comment:

He is by far, one of the best professors at Midlands Tech. He seriously loves what he does and his classes are very interesting. Even though the test questions are mostly from the book and not so much on the notes. He is very strict with attendance, but always is on top of grades and emails you when you have a problem. Best psych professor.

I took him for 101 and am currently in 212, I have enjoyed both of the classes. He is a great teacher and so passionate about his profession. I highly recommend him, I would take him again if I could! For non hybrid classes there are extremely easy "homework"s and a weekly test online, straight from the book. Lecture is more supplemental so you understand the concepts. Take him!

Comment:

If you want an A, be prepared to work hard for it. He gives you all the tools you need, you just have to put in effort. NO RESEARCH PAPER which he understands is mostly an English Class Time Waisting Project for PSY. His lectures are really interesting. Keep an open mind and you'll learn things from him that will help you the rest of your life
