Professor Harold is an amazing instructor. He definitely keeps you awake. Despite the fact that he talks about politics his lectures are great and interesting. You do have 3 reflection papers super easy, one 5 minute presentation on child development topic super easy. You also have 3 exams,5 chapters each I got an A.

Comment:

This guy is living in the 80's. He peddles false information and really doesn't understand the importance of science when it comes to psychology. I'd say there's about a 50% chance that whatever he said was misinformation or completely false.

He is funny. Not a tough grader. Take notes in class because his test are basically stuff he talked in class. If you missed class, you could read the book. He does long lectures tho. He seems like a likable and intelligent person. Also he's against Donald Trump XD Tests are not difficult. He tried to make the class entertaining.

Incredible Professor. Show up to class. Be attentive and take notes, as you would any other lecture. Read the book (if a book is required). Actively listen, he is quite impressively intelligent. I took away a lot of value from his lessons! He is highly respectable and I recommend the class to anyone who is ready to learn.

He was a good teacher at first, but later on in class I realized I wish dropped the class before it was too late. He's funny but he like to joke around students work out loud. Took only 3 test but were unit test. The book is somewhat help but better off taking it with another teacher

Comment:

He's a good teacher but the class set up isn't the best for everyone. We only took 3 tests for Fall 2016, so they were like 4 chapters of material. If you miss a class you'll end up behind because he explains psychology better in person then in his book.

Comment:

Dr. Martin is a good teacher. You'll definitely learn a lot but you really do need to be prepared to do a lot of reading outside of class and go to all the lectures. I took him in Fall of 2016, we only had 3 tests and then the final. Tests were hard but the final wasn't accumulative.

Comment:

Professor Martin inspired me to pursue psychology. He is funny and sarcastic. He teaches you so much useful information that to this day I use in my other psych classes. Most importantly he teaches you so much about yourself. His lectures were always easy to understand and realistic to daily life.

Comment:

Dr. Martin is one of the best professors I have taken at PCC, I love his humor, sarcasm & passion towards psychology. He encouraged a positive view of Psych over a negative one. I did not touch the book, and while I got a C in my AP Psych class in highschool, I aced this one. Guess I can consider Psych as a flame re-lit :) thanks Professor!

Comment:

Prof. Martin has to be one of my favorite professors by far. His honesty and sarcasm does not come in moderation so if you're sensitive, don't take it personally. He is really passionate about what he teaches and inspires his students to learn from the world and seek to see more of it. A great intellectual who loves what he does, profess. Take him!

Comment:

Although his lectures are long, and take up most of the class time, they are really informative and useful in comprehending the content of the class without really needing to read the book. His sense of humor is great, and keeps one awake through the long lectures. Barely any assignment, tests are pretty easy. I highly suggest him.

Comment:

He goes off tangent about nothing all time time. Discusses every single student essays out loud in class which has nothing to do with the students. His tests are easy as long as you pay attention and read. But good luck with his condescending attitude.

Comment:

I thoroughly enjoy Dr. Martin's Pscyh 1 class. I'm a fan of people that like to speak their mind and kill the social filters so this man really sums up to that. He offers a lot of wisdom and humor, which other reviewers say is abrasive but in all honesty that's truth to learning. The only difficulty is testing, but that's a given in any class.

Funny guy. Average lectures. He can be mean . The presentation was worthless, imo he used the presentation to psychoanalyze his students. Read the book and you will pass.

Comment:

an ok professor class is somehow interesting but if you are easily offended do not take him since he is extremely sarcastic and will notice if you get easily offended to the point he may pick on you.Tests are quite hard but if you study you'll do ok and there is a nasty presentation which lowers your grade and allows him to embarrass you in public.

Comment:

He is a very fair and straightforward professor. He knows if you have put an effort on your work. He reads and corrects every sentence you write on your essay and he cares every student in order to make them be a good person. Read the book completely and the tests are based on the book and his lecture. I learnt a lot in his class. GOOD PROFESSOR.
