Comment:
Very hard class. I am an A student and received a D+ in this course. Tests were very hard and the only grades in the class. When I met with him one on one to discuss my grade and things I could do better he was incredibly rude. Also would not bump my grade even at .02% away, even with my attendance being 100% and doing everything he asked of us.

I wish I could select more tags. I've enjoyed him as a professor immensely, as his teaching style is very much intune with the way that I process information. It was a genuine pleasure having him as a professor.

He is literally the worst professor. I took notes in class and from the book, and did the online quizzes and still ended up with an F. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!

His reading of the textbook is so much, and in order to get at least an A, you have to read the textbook, do online quizzes (with a website he gives you), and read over the notes, and understand what you learned.

DR. Plonsky is great and canine behavior is an awesome class if you love dogs. I learned so much and it was so interesting. He explains things very thoroughly and will always answer questions. He does assign a book to read that will show up on the test, as well as questions from the text book so make sure to read! All lectures notes are posted.

I enjoyed Psyc 110 with Plonksy. There are only 4 tests for the whole semester, but passing the course with a good grade makes you feel so good. Your supposed to read the book as well as take notes in the class, but I passed with just taking good notes in the class. Be prepared to work, but he make the class interesting and may even bring his dog!

Hard tests, self-declared hardest grader on campus. Probably won't do well if you don't read the book word for word 200-250 per test. 4 exams are the only grades in the class

Tests were hard but Plonsky was a good professor. Buy the online textbook for practice quizzes. Some questions on the online quizzes were the same on the tests.

Dr. Plonsky is an all around nice guy. Uses a ton of animal examples that become confusing. You really have to work to get a decent grade. The tests are difficult.

Very tough classes. He uses more advanced vocabulary and likes to use dog and rat examples instead of human. If you ask him for help he will do his best to do that. He is a very intelligent person.

Canine Behavior was a fun class but your grade is solely on 4 exams so it can be a little tough but overall it was a good class and he is more than willing to help.

Expect to read every assigned chapter. The tests are super hard and preparing for them is tough. Studying from the power point slides is not enough!! You must read and fully understand the text book chapters. He words exams super weirdly, and the 4 exams are the only grades for the whole semester. Good luck, you'll need it.

I hate statz but this was required for my major so I had to try as best as I could. Dr. Plonksy really helped me understand the material and was wiling to work with me. I was getting a F and ended up with a C. He really enjoys teaching and this is why I continued to take two other classes from him.

I have had Dr. Plonsky for three classes while in UWSP. He is by far one of my favorite teachers. he really knows what he is teaching and loves doing it! I enjoy how he sets up his classes online with his notes. Make sure to attend lecture because it's vital to the exam, oh and he brings his own dogs in!!
