Funny, knowledgeable, 3 tests (2 online, 1 group), quizzes in class which are easy, 89.01 is an A, textbook isn't necessary to pass but it helped me out, extra credit opportunity, final is optional, if you put in some effort you can get an an A/B+

Comment:

Demouy thinks he is hilarious and he really isn't. The class is super boring and he goes off on weird tangents. If you put in the effort and pay attention you'll do fine but you can't screw around and expect an A. I would recommend getting the text book because his lectures are pointless. But he gives quizzes in class so you should go for those.

This class should be an easy A, but you have to work for it. Gives pop quizzes for attendance, so try your best to show up to every class. Boring lectures, but clearly knowledgeable about the subject. The grade is made up of 3 tests, and pop quizzes. Final is optional. Ding ding, ding ding, ding ding.

Comment:

If you go to class and pay attention the Exams are very easy. He does give random pop quizzes in class that will make up 15% of your grade so you definitely need to go to class. But overall the class is not difficult at all

Comment:

It will be your most boring class. The exams are slightly challenging, but manageable. The quizzes are pop quizzes and are super easy but it makes it so you have to show up for class. Only grades are quizzes and tests which kind of sucks, dont get the text book waste of money imo. I never paid attention so idk if I'm good to take advice from.

Comment:

So pretentious. I have gathered that he has messed up a lot in the relationship department, and he lectures advice about love... I did not learn anything in this class. He gives pop quizzes, but even if you are there, you might not get the chance to complete it b/c ignorance when it comes to BB. "I'll open it later" He never did. Never gave detail.

Comment:

Demouy is extremely rude to his students and prefaces' the class as if it will be easy. His wifi never worked in the classroom, so all 500 of us were not able to take the quizzes at the same time.. when he opened them for a solid 5 minutes. He is so unfair and probably the worst teacher at this university. Only take his class if you are desperate!!

Comment:

Professor Demouy is clearly knowledgable, but he is constantly rude to the class. If you ask a question, good luck getting an answer that isn't snarky . Yes, this class is an easy A, but be prepared to leave his class feeling insulted 50% of the time. Also, he gives lots of pop quizzes that are worth 30 points each as a way to take attendance.

Comment:

The only reason I did not drop this class immediately after the first day was because nothing else worked in my schedule. Demouy is smart and knows what he is talking about, but he uses against students and makes you feel dumb for saying something wrong. Very rude with comments on presentations, but actually does grade somewhat easy.

Get ready to have your feelings hurt, because he is very direct with his comments. No guidelines. No rubric. Presentation is your main grade just don't do the things he does not like and your grade will be higher than your last one. Good luck.

Comment:

This class is extremely entertaining and informative and Demouy usually let the lecture out 30 minutes early. He does randomly give out quizzes that count for 2 percent of your grade each but if you show up to class you should get a 100 on all the quizzes. Tests are actually pretty hard for being online but you'll be fine if you just go to class.

Comment:

I didn't enjoy this class but it was super easy. He gives random pop quizzes that will start to bring your grade down a good bit if you miss too many. He talks a lot but the class is easy.

A wonderful class that makes you want to attend. I learned a lot of really valuable information in this class and really enjoyed his occasional rants and life lessons. Unfortunately there are a lot of random quizzes and I unluckily skipped the days we happened to have them. No attendance policy but it will definitely hurt your grade to miss.

Comment:

Professor Demouy is awesome in big lectures. He tries to make the class useful for any major and seems very personable. However, one-on-one he isn't great- he's short, snippy and kind of condescending. Make sure you do REALLY well on the first 3 tests. Go to class, do all of the quizzes and every extra credit opportunity. An 89 is an A.

Comment:

The lectures are really long, but Patrick is really relaxed and funny so they are tolerable. The last two tests can be taken in groups. Attendance is optional but there are occasional in-class quizzes to make sure people are coming to class. Other than the tests and quizzes, there are no other assignments.

Attendance is optional (but they're are occasional attendance quizzes so you have to show up often enough to take them). Multiple tests but one is online, one is online with partner, and one is group test so they are not hard to do well on. No homework and you don't need book.

Demouy is a really cool guy. He's funny and real, not uptight, which is nice because he makes the lectures enjoyable. He doesn't take attendance, but he does give random quizzes every now and then for points. Tests have a lot of questions, but you can usually use your book and/or work with a group of people. I highly recommend him!

Comment:

The syllabus said we would have two multiple choice tests. LOL. These "tests" were group case studies. There were also pop presentations. I only know of one person who got anything more than a 90 on any assignment. The only independent assignments were 2 on minute presentations. Feedback was only negative and given in front of the entire class.
