Comment:

Dr. A was tough, but you can tell he really cares about his students! He will give you the information, but you have to work for your grade. His neuro class is by far the most difficult class I've had in college, but I think it was worth it!

Comment:

Aubrecht is the kindest and sweetest man I know. Beyond that, he is a very tough professor. His tests are 50/50 lecture and textbook. Questions on lectures are like "Your professor thinks which is the most..." Extremely DIFFICULT!!!! I wish that he would be more upfront about the material covered on his exams. I had mental breakdowns abt this class

Best teacher ever! I love Dr. A he is the best professor at Meredith. Some people don't like his grading style but I think he makes it really helpful. He really wants his students to succeed and is very helpful during office hours. Anyone interested in Psych should take this class!!! Dr. A is the nicest man ever.

Dr. A truly cares about his students and WANTS them to succeed-- truly succeed, not just do well on the test. He pushes us in ways I never thought I'd be pushed. He is a genuine guy that loves what he does. His class is also one of the toughest classes I have ever taken, but with his support I knew I would do well. Ask him for help!!!

Comment:

Aubrect is a nice guy, but he tends to tell a lot stories that take up most of class. theres better psych professors at Meredith, i recommend taking them. he has a weird grading system but it came out to my advantage. I ended up making an A but i had two psych classes in high school which i think helped. you have to do much learning youself.

Comment:

I think he is an adorable old man! However, his teaching was not what I expected. Tests were hard because it was based on what HE believed rather than psychology in general. For example, the first question in exam one was, "What does your professor believe the definition of psychology is?" He takes up the whole lecture time to tell stories!

Comment:

It's not that he "tells a lot of stories" it's that his entire class is stories that are only about 50% relevant. Test questions are majority text based but a few are based on stuff he throws out in class between stories. The class requires a bit more effort on your part and isn't EXTREMELY hard unless you're an auditory learner like me.

Comment:

He expects you to read the book outside of class and lectures are not always based on what's in the book. Tests are based on book information and lectures. He's caring and available outside of class, but you have to put in your share of effort to get a good grade.

Comment:

Dr. A is very knowledgeable about psychology but does not take into consideration that the way he teaches, is maybe not the way that most students are used to and/or want to be taught. He is nice and offers extra credit, tests are 50/50 lecture and textbook. Its not terribly difficult, but get used to stories and a different style of teaching

Comment:

Dr. Aubrecht is a great professor. I loved his class so much because the material itself was interesting AND he tells quirky stories that make the class enjoyable. Most of the people I found who didn't like the class were ones who didn't show up or didn't study for the tests. He often curves. His office hours are a great help, and you should visit.

Dr. Aubrecht is extremely nice and does his best to help you. I personally didn't enjoy this class, I felt like his lectures were too long. He also told too many stories.

He always came to class with such a great attitude. Although his lectures are long and talkative, it makes it better that he includes personal stories. He gives you countless extra credit opportunities and is very fair and lenient when he grades. Make sure you read your book and take good notes. Its 50/50 each on tests. LOVE DR. A!!

Did not enjoy this class at all. Lots of off topic lecturing, and there is nothing clear being taught. Wanted to major in psych, and this class drained me to the point where I switched majors!

Dr. A is a kind and passionate man. He has so much experience in psychology he is able to provide you with the best examples that help you understand. You do have to read and attend class, but extra credit will save you so take advantage of it. Pay attention when he goes over the chapters in the book!

What ever you do, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. He grades based on opinion and does not give you your tests quizzes back to keep so you can't tell if he is grading you the same as everyone else. He tries his best to make everything about the class as difficult as possible. No structure no book. His changing opinion

Dr. A is awesome and extremely intelligent. His stories he tells are 10 times more interesting than anything in the book, and make it way easier to learn. His tests do include things from only lectures so you do have to go to class. Dr. A is a sweet man and although he doesn't have the best memory, I would definitely take another one of his classes

Dr. A is hands down my favorite professor at Meredith. He is intelligent, brilliant, and will go out of his way to help you in any way he can as long as you make an effort too. I have already taken two courses with him and received A's in both. I have just started my 3rd. Those who believe he is hard never gave him a chance to begin with. LOVE DR A
