Boring lectures. Hard grader. Tests do not follow study guide. Only extra credit takes lots of time to complete and is only worth one point. Does not offer any feedback.

Great Professor! Probably one of my favorites this year. Funny, quirky, and really clear when it comes to grading. Classes aren't too bad, if you miss a day it isn't the end of the world. Mini-labs are all explained and on elearning. Tests all multiple choice and some are online. Didn't use the book very much.

Comment:

Had Mr. Butler for Psychology, if you go to class the first two days and only on test days, you will get an okay grade. All notes are online, the classes just consist of lectures off power points. He is a cool guy, just a boring subject.

Comment:

First and for most you don't have to show up to the class to succeed. Outside of when he talks about the few assignments you have, you are fine to skip as long as you read and look at the notes. All he really does in his lectures are read the power points and add a few extra things. His lectures are interesting though.

Boring class. Have to participate in psych research, which wasn't in the description and is annoying. Tests are kinda tough and there are 6+final. Few assignments throughout. Grades pretty harshly even though it's a class for freshmen. Seems nice enough, but not really personable. Need book for quizes. Tests are off powerpoints.

I took Butler's Intro to Psychology course. His lectures are all PowerPoints that he posts online, so there is really no need to go to class (which most people didn't). You never get anything back-- tests or assignments. Makes awkward comments and remarks that made the entire class uncomfortable. Wouldn't recommend.

He's a pretty good professor, has online quizzes that are pretty easy if you read the book. There are a lot of exams though, but they don't take long and are pretty easy because he tells you what's on it. Overall I would take him again.

His exams are based off his lecture slides, but some questions are worded tricky so watch that! The quizzes are online and you will use the book 100% of the time. He did a great job making lectures interesting with his jokes and funny stories, and you get extra credit by having good attendance! I would definitely take him again.

Don't buy the book he has power points that explain everything on the exams. He's funny and a great teacher. If you can take him do it. His exams are easy and his final is comprehensive but he gives you study guides that you can look over it. easy A/B class.

Great professor, he's funny and keeps things interesting. Lots of small group activities in class, which I like a lot. You can pass the tests without referencing the textbook too much as long as you take good notes in class, but there are quizzes that you'll really need the book for.

Pretty easy professor. Lots of outside class work. Quizzes over sections before you even learn them but most answers can be found in the book. Class isn't mandatory, but once in a while get extra credit for going to class. This class is easy to pass if you study the lecture notes from the slides

Online quizzes, mainly over vocab. Lectures off of PowerPoints. If you study the PowerPoints you should be okay. I only used the book for the quizzes. I really liked this professor.

Comment:

Lectures heavily with PowerPoint. A few test questions come from the book, most from class slides. Butler's expectations are very clear, grading is clear, some test questions are made obvious, and he has a sense of humor. You get attendance points as extra incentive but aren't penalized for missing lecture. STUDY YOUR SLIDES..you will pass!
