Comment:

Great personality professor with funny stories. There is a one page paper due (very manageable) for every personality theorist and 4 non-cumulative exams. If you go to class, sometimes there is extra credit offered after exams. The book is necessary.

Comment:

Super boring lecturer, but really nice. 3 exams, & noncumulative final. 4 1-page single spaced papers due for each exam. But you can literally outline the slides for the papers & turn that in. He doesn't even look at them (trust me.. not even glances). EC offered in some classes, but no attendance. Exams are MC, straight from the book

Comment:

Dr. Wagner is hands down my favorite professor at Loyola. He makes each class enjoyable by adding in a few jokes every now and then. The class had three tests that seemed to be a little difficult at first, but once you understood the structure it became easier to study for them. The books really help too! TAKE HIM!!!

His class is very manageable. There are 3 tests, 2 short quizzes, an easy group presentation, and a LONG, but doable essay. He's very kind and funny. He gives extra credit on random days, so showing up to class will only help you. You can tell he's very knowledgable.

Comment:

His lectures are very boring, hate to say it's a typical psychology class that makes you hate being a psych major. Pretty easy but his study guides are not always congruent with the tests. Extra credit most times you show up to class. He's a very sweet and caring person, though.

Comment:

Hilarious professor. Going to class is worth it because of how funny he is. 3 MC tests, 1 big paper and 2 quizzes and a presentation. Sounds like a lot but is very doable. Do the study guide for the test and read the textbook, some of his questions are confusing. Plenty of extra credit to cover up one or two bad exams scores though. Easy A group

You literally don't need to go to class at all since his tests are STRAIGHT from the book. He gives study guides for each test and if you fill them out and read the book you'll get an A. Only reason for going to class is that he gives extra credit assignments in class. Pretty cool guy though.

Good and knowledgable teacher, but a little confusing at times since he tends to ramble. His tests are simple if you pay attention and study. One very big group project and one HUGE final paper.

Comment:

I skipped so many classes because I could make much better use of my time than sitting in Wagner's lecture. You could literally, and I mean LITERALLY, not attend a single class and still ace the exams simply by reading the textbook. The only upside to going to lecture was the occasional in-class extra credit assignments.

Comment:

He's just a great guy. It's so refreshing to have a teacher that wants students to do well. Really nice; you do have to read the book to do well because he likes to put book questions on exams about stuff we didn't talk about, but he also gives tons of extra credit. He tells funny jokes in class too.

Comment:

His teaching style is all over the place, so you need to read the book and pay careful attention in lecture. His tests are not too bad, but some of the questions are worded weird and that makes it difficult. However, once you get used to it, an A on exams is pretty attainable. He also gives extra credit and is pretty laid back and cool.

This class has four exams including the final, and a ton of extra credit information! He is a hilarious professor, but you need to read the book to understand what he is talking about. And he is super smart, a really good elective to take!

Super easy class! His tests are MC with everything pretty much from his ppts, which are online. Gives lots of EC. 1 group presentation. 1 8 page paper. No final. He's really funny. Make sure you attend the final few weeks of class because they count toward the grade on your paper. Definitely would take him again!

Wagner is so harmless and hilarious. Class is way too easy, gives so many examples. Just take notes. Exams are pretty easy too, but sometimes his questions are posed weird. Definitely take him though

Comment:

Dr. Wagner is a funny and endearing guy! The class is beyond easy, as long as you are awake during class. DO THE STUDY GUIDE: only 1 or 2 questions on the tests are not mentioned on the study guide, but he'll say in class "this will be on the exam". Textbook supplements his lectures, so look there if you are confused by something he says in class.

Comment:

Quite possibly the easiest psychology class ever. Prof. Wagner tells you exactly what will be on each test. Very interesting self-assessments too! Pretty sure he doesn't read the final paper. Funny as well! Can go stoned and still have the best grade in the class.
