Prof Plunkett is by far the best professor in the world. He provides his own pdf textbook. Attendance/punctuality impacts your grade. 4 exams, 50 mc qs, study guide provided for all. No cumulative final exam. Research paper is made SO much easier. He makes himself available for students and provides so many resources.

I have never enjoyed an 8am lecture more. Plunkett is not only great in his execution of information, but he might be one of the greatest people Ive ever encountered. His personality is amazing and he is such a kind man. In all my 4 years, his class was my favorite. Best dude ever Ill miss him a lot

A couple of professors at CSUN lived up to what I always imagined a teacher could and should be. He is one of them. If I had teachers like this when I was younger I might not be in prison right now. All kidding aside, he is funny, down to earth, astonishingly smart, and humble. He makes himself available to all of his students. Take this teacher!

During my time at CSUN there were just some professors that would always go out of their way to make sure you understand the material and do well. This guy is one of those professors. Not only is he hilarious, all class examples are about his life and his study guides give you the concepts and tell you exactly the type of question for each concept

Awesome professor, really cares about you doing well and will go out of his way to help you if you need it. His study guides are very good, if you study them you should get an A. He was also very helpful on the APA paper, he made it really easy for the class to keep up to date on them during labs. My 13 page paper was a lot easier with his help.

Comment:

This professor is super busy, but he tries to make time to meet with students. If you need anything from him with a deadline (help on an assignment), ask early, he might get to you late, close to the deadline. His lectures are straightforward and he makes it interesting. Posts feedback late (still waiting on feedback from assignment from October).

Professor Plunkett is amazing! I took him at 8am and his lectures are not boring, he is pretty funny. You know what you will be tested on because he gives you a study guide. Plus, you save money because no textbooks are required for the class, he cares for his students so he put together a packet for us.

Dr. Plunkett is awesome. Tells you exactly what will be on the exams on the study guide. No text needed, he provides you the notes on moodle. Great lectures, funny, adds personal anecdotes, helpful, clear, doesn't move on until he knows the class knows and understands the material. I took his 8am class, not bad to stay awake.

Professor Plunkett is extremely competent and a very skilled instructor. There is no text book in this class which is good if you're on a budget. Attendance is mandatory and you really should show up, not just to get credit but also because the material and in class discussions are worth it

Amazing professor. Helps students with anything. Approachable and really cares about students. Recognizes me on campus even after only a 5-week course (that had over 100 other students).
