Comment:

This professor is a great person who is very passionate about teaching the students and does various activities to make sure you learn the best way possible for you. I was unfortunately late half the class on the first day of my spring semester and he was very understanding when i asked to sit in his next class. If you have questions really do ask!

I really really liked him as a professor. His lectures are interesting and as long as you pay attention in class, you'll get good grades. He is super willing to work with struggling students and will re-weight the syllabus to give you better grades.

He is a pretty good teacher. He is very kind yet scatter brained. He keeps class interesting. The book is everything, if you study out of the book you can guarantee at least a B in the course

Comment:

I've only had Dolan for intro psych thus far, but his class isn't hard. Yeah, people were failing exams, yeah he's a bit scatter brained, but if you just study the textbook you can get an A no problem. His tests aren't that hard, just pay attention in class and then study the textbook and you'll do fine.

This class was very interesting and Dolan is a fantastic professor. He is always willing to talk to you if you don't understand something and is clearly passionate about the topic. Great class. You do have to work hard to get the A, but it's worth it.

He is such a nice guy however you really need to study from the book. If you are having trouble he is understanding but again it is a college course and studying out of the book is the only way you will pass the exams. Lecture is not enough.

He is such an understanding teacher and really helps you out if you are going through any trouble. Professor Dolan really wants you to do well and his powerpoints are so easy. He doesn't really have good handwriting, so it is good that all he uses is powerpoint. I recommend him to all into to psyc students!

I really like the way he teaches and is so understandable. He is so nice and sometimes can be a bit boring. But his tests are easy but can challenge you at the same time and his classes go by so fast! He's great.

Comment:

This guy acts like your friend but infact he will turn on you in a instant. I had problems going on at home and he said he understands but did not accomodate me at all. This guy would piss me off because I would go to his office hours and not help at all. Avoid this class if you can. I wouldn't make any of my enemies take this class.

Comment:

Very nice professor but boring teacher. Lectures with slides and doesn't get the class involved. The classes are not that difficult but you will learn if you attend class. His classes need to be restructured but as a whole he is a good teacher. He is available outside of class, offers extra credit, and truly cares about his students.

The class was like any other class. You have to work and do all the readings to do well on the tests. Study groups helped also. Lectures weren't always interesting but the class had some funny moments.

Comment:

Another one to add to the list of terrible Drew professors- drew's lucky they don't have a 'ratemyuniversity.com' cause its scores would be in the toilet. Anyways Dolan is awful- even when you put his annoying feminine voice and style aside, he can't teach, his lectures will put you to sleep, and his tests are absolutely ridiculous. Avoid this guy.

Comment:

He's a bit scatter-brained sometimes, but he has good lectures, and he knows what hes talking about. He really does want his students to do well, even though his exams are very difficult. Hes pretty lenient when grading his paper assignments,as long as you stick to the requirements and turn them in.

Dolan is an amazing professor. Aside from being attractive he is so smart and caring. He cares about his students and wants them to do well. I think he's the best psych professor here at drew
