Comment:

In my four years at UTA, this is the only C I have ever gotten. The prof is good and the material is interesting but the exams are so hard. You need to really read the book and understand everything in order to pass the exams. I wish I would have not taken it.

Comment:

This is the worst professor Ive ever taken. Took him as a maymester and he didnt upload our final or extra credit so basically our final grade was based on our first exam. I did ok but he is very irresponsible and doesnt respond to emails. Hes just there to show face and get paid.

Comment:

There are only four exams. There's really no point in going to his lectures because the exams are based on the book so you'll have to read to pass. People used test banks to study, but be aware of the last exam if you depend solely on those test banks. No extra credit. An A in his class is an 85 and NO FINAL. I would recommend to just read.

honestly do not know how he is still teaching. Does not reply to emails in a timely manner. Has his ta do everything minus the lectures, although she does some. She has so much attitude. No extra credit and there are only 4 exams. You have to read the book because his test want detailed answers even though he himself doesn't even cover it.

I took him for Drugs and Behavior and it was so bad! I ended up barely passing with a C. I read the whole book, all the chapters and attended the majority of the lectures and still barely passed the exams. Be prepared to read, def wont take again.

His lectures are the best. You will never be bored in class; I did learn a lot but it was tough. Your grade is based on only 4 tests; there is no final. But the test are crazy hard!!! You HAVE to read the book to do good on the test and its a lot of conceptual material. Only 10% of what he goes over in lecture is on the test. (an 86 is an A)

Comment:

he's nice enough, very corny. his lectures are sooo boring thankfully the class is so huge that if you choose to skip theres always someone thats going to give you the notes for the day. his tests are somewhat difficult but most of the questions come from the book. READ THE BOOK can't say that enough. a B in any other class equates to an A in his

Happy its over. Overall the class was okay for sure not one of those classes you can just make a good grade by not studying. Grades are based off of 4 tests that are mandatory.

Very good lectures but the tests are difficult. The amount of information in the lecture wasn't even close to the amount that was on the tests. A lot of people were failing when the thought they did well on the tests. You are only graded on 4 tests and I hardly passed the first two with reading and studying notes.

Super interesting class. 85+ is an A and your overall grade comes from 4 exams (no comprehensive final). The tests are all book-based, however Fuchs will focus on topics that you need to know, so it helps to come to class, plus he's a funny and quirky guy.

He is so funny and so entertaining, he is relatable and flexible if you make the effort. Make sure to read, take notes over the reading like an outline and compare them to the lecture and you will pass

Your grade is based only on tests. A few questions came from lecture but if you read the book you honestly don't even have to show up to his class other than test days. 9/10 of questions came straight from book or common sense. Interesting subject but his sarcasm didnt really project well. Hard to tell if he was serious. Medicore at best,

Comment:

Hardly anyone goes to class because he drags lectures on and tries to be funny the entire time. Use the 6th edition test banks. Books and lectures barely helped at all. Only four tests and no extra credit or homework. 85+ is an A but more than half the class struggled for a B at 75. Take a different class if you can. Not a GPA booster.

Took his class during winter intersession. Great experience. Really passionate about what he does and goes into details, etc. I recommend for anyone wanting and needing to do extra classes during winter and summer intersessions.

Comment:

Took as a wintermester. It's reading heavy, I don't think a lot of questions came from the lectures but the lectures helped solidify my understanding. As a wintermester there's 3 tests & extra credit. 85+ is an A, & the extra credit (if you got a 100) boosting your grade up a whole letter grade I thought this was worth the time crunch/stress.

Tests are the only grades you get in this class, no extra credit. Lectures are only like 10% of the exams. READ THE BOOK. Only four exams, not cumulative. He tends to get off topic really easily, nice guy.

You have to read every single word of the textbook if you want to pass the tests. Lectures are pretty much useless. Tends to go off topic. Best thing was that B's are 75-84.

Comment:

Dr. Fuchs may be one of the best professors at UTA. His lectures are hilarious and keep you engaged. His tests are difficult and you have to read every chapter in the book. 4 exams that are non-comprehensive and you'll be done 3-4 weeks before the end of the semester. Also 85 is an A. Take this class.
