Comment:

Dr. Wruble knows that his classes are tough - he does it to prepare students for the real world. I went above and beyond to prepare for his exams and still did awful on exams. The questions were always on material that seemed hidden in the chapters. I did, however, learn more in his class than I have in all 3 years of attending college. GOOD LUCK!

He is great fun! He is always doing things to make class fun. There were always music videos, pop culture discussions. He really cares about his students and makes sure they are a fair chance at doing well.

Comment:

Wruble was the worst professor I had during my four years here. He sets his students up to fail and prides himself on making his exams impossible to pass. He is approachable and his lectures are good, but on the whole he is just not a good professor. I graduated with a perfect 4.0, so it's not like I'm just a scrub looking for an easy A either.

Comment:

Dr. Wruble is, by far, my favorite professor and Human Sexuality was my favorite class I have taken at UWP. This is one class that I looked forward to attending everyday but dreaded the exams. Super challenging exams! Make sure you study and read! Take him if possible! It will be worth every second spent studying

Comment:

Dr. Wruble is truly the most inspiring professor I've ever had. I could listen to him talk for hours. He has real life experience and stories for every topic that he shares with the class. His exams are hard and 90% from the readings- so you won't pass if you don't read or study. Even though he's tough, I would definitely take him for other courses

Comment:

Dr. Wruble is an amazing professor. He has over 30 years of real-life experience in the counselingpsychology field. He has stories to go with everything. It is very difficult to be confused or misinformed in his classes. His exams are difficult, and some of the questions are worded strangely. You must read to pass the class.

Makes class super interesting and fun which almost makes you forget to take notes at times. Tests are hard though, usually 100 questions and some of them are trickly worded. If you're a bad test taker I would recommend someone with more structure.

Dr. Wruble is an amazing professor. He uses real life examples and makes the topic very interesting. After taking this class, i have decided to continue taking all of the psych classes that he teachers for my Psych Minor. Take him if you can. He is great.

I liked Dr. Wruble. It was very easy for me as I am not a psy. major. I did not present any of the group presentation and did ok on the exams. Passed it with an A-. Take him, he is exciting.

Honestly best teacher i have ever had in my life. Taught me so much, and after taking his class i decided to become a psych major just because he inspired me so much. Highly recommend, but his exams are hard, so study!

He makes class interesting and helps you understand the concept instead of just the definition. He does interactive examples to teach a lesson.

His tests are very difficult. He think students expect good grades without doing any work, so he makes his classes harder. I do admire him for all of his knowledge and personality, though. So I have mixed feelings.

Very fun professor but I found it literally impossible to do well on his exams. I read the text, took notes and still got D's on his exams. Hopefully your luck is better than mine, but he is a very entertaining professor.

Awesome professor but tests are EXTREMELY difficult. They require you to go more indepth than the basic definition. Notes in class and out of the book are very helpful. Classes can be entertaining, he uses real-life examples. Very helpful outside of class as well. Overall = excellent professor.

Best psych teacher i've had. Uses his experience as a therapist to give real life examples of topics. I'd definitly recommend him to both psych majors and those who just want to take a class

Comment:

This class is hard and this professor is absolutely the worst ever. He doesnt give you the full class periods to take his hard, long exams. He thinks he cant miss a minute of class and will teach after exams. The exams are very hard and in great detail. On the last exam there was not one "A". Stay away from this guy!

Fun guy, gives helpful hints on how to study. Makes the class enjoyable. Intro to Psych is actually pretty easy if you just spend a few minutes looking over the notes (and sometimes the book) before class.
