This class is only graded by a few things. 5 reflection papers and 3 tests. Reflection Tests are straight from the lecture, but there's some tricky answers reading the power-points and notes will for sure bring you success

This class is only graded by a few things. 5 reflection papers and 3 tests. Reflection papers are easy and only 1 page double spaced. Tests are straight from the lecture, but there's some tricky close answers for some of them. I didn't read the book for tests and do fine from just the lectures. I used the book sometimes for reflections.

Comment:
Tests are multiple choice/true false but not well written, it is easy to get confused. He requires 3 textbooks that you don't even need to read. All of his material is from lecture. The powerpoint slides just have terms on them and he fills in the material so you can't miss class. He makes you write essays but it is obvious he doesn't read them.

Graded off two tests, 3 easy 5 point papers, and a 25 point 5 page paper. Super easy grader. Just listen to the lectures and take notes to use for the online exams. Easy A

Interesting class topics, but not for the faint of heart. He goes into some things that are hard to talk about for most people, but also includes many facts that may change your perspective on some. 3 tests (25 points each) and 5 reflections (5 points each) determine your grade. The tests come straight from the lectures. Easy A.

2 tests and 1 paper, both totally 100 points. This is the second time I've taken a summer class with him and I don't think he reads the papers. I barely put in any work and passed, tests are so easy. Only thing I don't like about him is he is near impossible to contact.

Class was pretty easy. consisted of two exams (each worth 40 pts) and one paper (20pts). His exams are okay, make sure you listen and take notes on the lectures. Paper is super easy, plus I don't think he actually reads them anyways. The paper is on early/emerging adulthood and ask you to write about a young adult with the aspects of development.

I have taken Myers twice, and would take him again if I could. He is hilarious, easy to talk to, and generates a lot of conversation in class. He is realistic with his expectations (the class is pretty easy) and understanding about different students' needs. The books are useful for the tests (esp in 560), as a lot of his material comes from them.

This class is so chill. You HAVE to attend and you HAVE to take notes, but you do not have to read. Plus, the class discussions make attending class fun. For real.

Hands-down my favorite professor in the CFD department. If he's teaching the class, take it! Books aren't mandatory if you pay attention and take notes in class.

This class is extremely easy! It's 50 mins. long and it always gets out early! Pure power point lectures the entire time. Take notes, do the mini assignments (there aren't many), and the multiple choice tests are a breeze. It does get a bit boring, but it's a very easy A.

Teacher is ok. Kinda tricky on his tests. You have to know the little details of a lot but if you are interested in child and family development thats not hard to do. Gives LOTS of t&f questions on tests and a few writing projects. Fine class overall for 2 units.

Dr. Myers makes this class pretty fun. His voice is so soothing and calming. He presents the material well and values his student's opinions. Attendance is mandatory but he usually cuts class short. Take him!

this class doesn't require a lot of work but it does require more studying than you think. it's hard to get an A when you only have 3 exams with 28 questions. you really have to know specifics. i didn't get the book & averaged Bs on the exams. i assume i could've gotten an A if i had read the text. overall, CFD 270 is interesting.

Don't miss class because he always takes attendance. Take good detailed lecture notes & know the study guides for tests. Three 28-point unit exams & a few short 2 page papers. Each point is worth 1% of your overall grade. Very interesting class. One in awhile plays interesting videos & sometimes Oprah.
