He has a way of making you feel stupid, but I enjoyed his humor. The class is easy to pass if you're great ready.

Straightforward professor. Clearly tells you what you need to do in order to pass. Reading is very important in order to pass exams as his lectures are not "discussion based" unless someone asks a question. I recommend you do all of the PLENTY of extra credit offered. Attendance not required, BUT the quizzes will help you out with (2-4) pts daily!

Comment:

This a really good class, honestly one of the only ones I paid attention to this semester. He's funny and gives a deeper analysis of the information given in the book. Do the reading, but if not he discusses the whole chapter during class. 3 exams 12 pages each minimum; answer the EXACT question (Txtbk SECTION) asked for the exam and nothing more.

Class is useless. Only reads off of his notes. The only reason it is worth it is because he gives extra credit quizzes at the end of class. Does not round grades.

Comment:

This class is essentially a memory based class. You don't have to really show up to class but he gives extra credit quizzes at the end of most classes. He is not a bad professor but is not great . As long as you read the book you should pass his super easy tests. Plus his class has an online lab that gives you practice test for extra credit.

Comment:

This class isn't hard, but it isn't easy. The reading can be exhausting and stressful, but when it comes to the tests its pretty easy, as long as you thoroughly read the chapters and memorize the terms you should be good to go. Even though he reads dryly from power points, he does stop and ask if anyone has any questions so that does make up for it

Just do all the extra extra credit and study the tests in the back of the book and you should be fine. He gives 3 points extra credit every class and that does add up. I would take the class again now that i have figured out his style. The essay he makes you do, you'll get 100% as long as you turn it in.

Comment:

Very heavy reading, it is almost as if he just reads the slides to collect a pay check. He goes over the slides incredibly fast, often finishing a chapter in 45 mins, he does not slow down. DO NOT pick this teacher unless you would like to spend tremendous amounts of extra time learning the textbook yourself. He does not teach!!! He only recites.

Comment:

Class is boring because he literally reads the textbook chapters out loud from a slideshow (disappointing, because he's a prepared professor and has interesting things to say). Gives a lot of extra points (quiz each class + online material). But he is not a good option if you can't study by yourself and read a LOT.

Comment:

his teaching style wasn't for me all he did was open the book and project it on the screen & read straight out from the book. he told us to not ask him to stop & repeat something bc he wouldn't. there weren't any helpful worksheets so if you take his class be prepared to read a lot & basically do everything on your own.

Really didn't enjoy his class, it isn't that he is a bad professor but all he does is read power points which for me isn't helpful. The exams are clear but not so much if you don't read every chapter. I've never failed a class until this one which really sucks. I don't recommend him if you are a student who does better with teacher interaction.

Comment:

Absolutely horrible teacher. Super boring and reads straight from the book. The one thing that drove me crazy and made me want to drop the class is he would give a word and use the word to define the term. For example, what is brain surgery, surgery on the brain. Horrible class, do not take. Not worth the credit what so ever!

Comment:

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! What no one says on here is that extra credit is worth .1% of your grade. All he does is read the definitions out of the book. Don't take this class if you aren't willing to read every night and not show up for the class. Theres 4 exams and a couple essays.

Comment:

As long as you read the textbook, listening to his lecture is like reviewing for your exam. Gives a lot of credit that would actually boost your grade. Just make sure you don't fall asleep and respond to him whenever he asks something. Great professor to talk to outside of class. He also knows a lot of psych stuff if you ask him question in class.

Comment:

His lectures are reading the power point, and his power point is the definitions in the book. Going to class is a waste of time except he gives extra credit quizzes at the end of every class. If you want to learn psychology. Don't take him, If you want to get a GE out of the way without much effort, he is your guy.

He's not difficult once you figure out his system, but if you don't show up, or don't study you're screwed. I only read the book when I had to.

I took him this summer for first session & I can honestly say that he is a great professor. He gives a lot of extra credit just make sure you do the reading and STUDY otherwise you won't get the credit for that day. He frequently asks students if they have any questions so if you have any take advantage & ask away. Read, study, & pay attention.

4 exams, tons of extra credit, and very informative lectures. If you do all the extra credit there is no way you'll get anything lower than an A. :)
