Comment:

Taking this class is like gouging your eye out with a spoon once a week. Thinks he's a hypnotists, he should've retired YEARS ago. Nice guy, but a total nut bag and the class is completely pointless. He's gotten so many complaints that the psych dpt is thinking of getting rid of 303 as a degree requirement. (the content is helpful on the Psych GRE)

This is by far the most boring 30mins of school ever. Its the first day of class and already this guy put me to sleep. I think is a psychology class but he is talking about everything from jesus to witchs. The guy is nuts.

Comment:

Homeboy could not care less about this class. Never there for office hours, his grading is ridiculous. But the system beats taking a midterm or final, and I will say this is probably the only class where I pretty much read the entire textbook.

Comment:

Should not be teaching the class anymore. I heard he used to give out the answers to the quizes,let people cheat, and bump up everyones grade at the end, but that has since changed and the True/False quizes are difficult. Boring class. Noone has respect for it, and I don't think he does either. 3/4 of the class leave after the weekly quizes.

Take the philosophy class NOT THIS CLASS! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! BEWARE!!! Its not even a class because the grading is all wrong! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Weekly quizzes are terrible and unfair. His ANSWER KEY is WRONG that scores the quizzes and he doesnt even tell people or change the grades! I only discovered this when I went to his office and demanded to see a quiz. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Comment:

Unfortunate that psych majors can't really avoid this class, as it is a degree requirement. He is terrible - worst professor ever. Lectures are pointless. Half the class leaves early! Nice that weekly quizzes (some takehome) are the only grades, but beware, they can be tricky and the questions make no sense. Signs anyone in 1st day of class.

Comment:

this class sounds really easy, but it's more tricky than you think. he would give out these "clues" from quizzes, but sometimes he will change the entire quiz so everything you memorized from the "clues" become useless. quiz questions r also tricky, will ask something like "who was the greatest psychologist of all times"

Comment:

FORGE! He is an old man and a little strange, but he is really a nice guy. If you go out and smoke with him on breaks, he will remember you. Quiz questions are tricky but he curves them in the end. Go easy on him, he does the best he can with a boring topic.

Comment:

He was disorganized. We'd spend a lot of time "grading" the quizzes which consisted of going through a classmate's quiz while the prof called out "1-D,2-B,3-A, etc" He never went over the answers and why we got them wrong. Didn't learn anything from him I couldn't have learned from the book.

Comment:

I don't know about the other comments, but he was always on time to my class. If you stay for the whole class, he gives you hints for the next test. I found the class to be very interesting and I really enjoyed it. Very easy way to fulfill the requirement.

Comment:

Easiest of the 3 required courses. I'd suggest finding people to cheat with, though, because I certainly as hell would've done better if I had some. No one takes him seriously, which is a good thing -- he's often confused and doesn't know the answers to his own quiz questions.

Comment:

Forgione is past his time. So what if the class is easy? It's tedious as all hell, and he doesn't care how students do. Complete waste of time. Take another course to fulfill this requirement.
