Great professor. Go to every class because he explains in so much detail exactly what you'll be asked on exams. Don't need the textbook. Amazing, interesting, and will email back fast. Also uploads exam grades the day of the exam. Very easy to get in touch with and talk to.

The GOAT. Trunzo is fantastic. Lectures are easy to follow and his humor keeps you engaged. His passion is clear and contagious. He's a very personable and relatable guy. Made the classroom a welcoming environment where discussion was encouraged. Would highly recommend taking his classes.

I have taken almost every class Professor Trunzo has to offer. He is one of the most important and influential people in the psychology department. Professor Trunzo is brilliant, easy to listen to, and hilarious. He has so much experience and really knows what he's talking about. One of my favorite professors ever.

Trunzo is an amazing professor. The class is all lecture based, but his humor, experience and passion make the lectures really easy to follow and easy to stay engaged. The tests and group projects are manageable and he is always willing to help.

Comment:

Fantastic professor. I had him before for health psychology and he was just as awesome for both classes. Hysterically funny, crystal clear in lectures and gives you plenty of opportunity to do well in the class. The paper was very tedious though, but that holds true for any psych research paper. I highly recommend him.

Literally my favorite professor. I've taken 3 of his classes and got an A because you really can understand his lectures. Super interesting and so funny in class. He doesn't care about attendance but all the tests are on his lectures so I'd recommend going. The tests aren't easy, so study.. He's worth it. Take health psychology! He made it so cool

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Outrageously funny, lectures are amazing, and taking his Health Psych class truly has "saved my life" (as he always says when you take it). Regardless of whether you take Health Psych or not, taking him for any psych class is a must.

Trunzo is the best teacher I have ever had. He is so clear and is very funny. He keeps you interested the whole class, his test are difficult if you dont study but if you review your a notes a few days ahead of time you should do well. I look forward to taking him again.

Trunzo is a very knowledgeable teacher. He is a professional in the field. Very well spoken. His lectures are clearly well thought out, and this is reflected by his comments and jokes. He uses a combination of slides (which are always available) and lecture. An awesome class, and further peaked my interest in psychology. He keeps it interesting.

Comment:

Honestly, he is a very sarcastic and funny man. But his class is very difficult. There is alot of information to take in and his tests are tricky. Average test grade for the whole class is low to mid 70's. If you are worried about your GPA, just beware of the risks involved. I would never take him again only because his class is hurting my GPA.

Great professor. Extremely clear, funny, fair, approachable, knowledgeable. Really no reason not to take him. Attendence isn't mandatory but probably a good idea. He can be tough but is fair, just go over the powerpoints and you'll be fine. NEVER used the textbook, don't even buy it.

One of the best teachers I've taken so far! If you take good notes and review the study guides he gives you it makes it even easier, plus he puts up the powerpoints he uses so you can look at them on your own time as well. Great teacher, toughest part is the research paper, but it is manageable. Pretty easy to do well in, lots of fun and a fun guy.

Extremely interesting. My favorite professor yet! He is challenging but if you pay attention take notes you will understand the material. Tests are pretty hard. He is the only one of my teachers with out an attendance policy, but that is the only class I WANT to go to. You remember everything you learn.
