Hilarious is an understatement. He makes lectures so interesting it should be impossible to fail this class. Show up to class and study before each test and you're guaranteed an A.

Amazing professor! His class is based off of 4 exams and you have to participate in psychology studies in order to get credit for the class. His lectures are super interesting. I learned so much. His exams are based off lectures so take good notes and I recommend record it too. He provides study guides so recordings help when you miss something.

So if it came down to it I probably would've gotten a low B high C.. probably a C+ in this class if it wasn't for his grading curve. 4 exams. Drops the lowest out of the first two exams. The last exam is counted double. After the lecture exam you do a group exam and if you fall under the SD then you get the higher score. I definitely studied a lot!

A great person but not the greatest professor. He definitely cares about his students and wants them to ask questions, but his structure for teaching is very one way and if you do not learn that way then you will struggle to excel in this class. 4 exams. Drops the lowest out of the first two. Context is important to do well in lecture exam.

His class is graded on 3-4 exams and that's it. If you show up and listen to the lecture you should easily get an A. Everything on the tests are covered in lecture, he is a very funny guy and will make it difficult to fall asleep in class. He is very passionate about the subject and gives so many examples. Easy class, i recommend.

Comment:
Professor Gardner is very funny and truly cares about his students. He encourages students to not take notes during class, but if you take simple notes on the most important ideas you'll pass this class. There are four exams but he will drop the lowest score between the first two exams and double the last one.

I was laughing every class. Loved him so much; he was a great start to my college career. He grades instantly. You could go home from his class and two hours later, you already know your score. Also, everything on the test is solely from his lectures.

Professor Gardner is really funny and caring and makes his lectures really fun so the chances of you falling asleep in class aren't very likely unless you're really tired like I was one time. Other than that, just show up and study for the tests because he only grades you on 4 tests and attendance.

First off, very funny so class isn't boring. Since it's a lecture class he only grades you on attendance and the four tests (NO FINAL). You probably don't have to get the book but it's hard to pass tests with just his lectures. Required to do lab experiments (do them as soon as possible trust me). Takes attendance in beginning and after break.

made an 8 AM on Friday worthwhile. he's hilarious. his tests are so easy if you just pay attention during the lectures and read the chapters then you'll be fine. he also drops a couple of questions on each exam, so I would get 100% on all of them. available outside of class. he's very knowledgable and explains well. 10/10 recommend as a professor.

He's very energetic! Take good notes and at least skim the readings and you'll do fine. He really does care whether or not students understand the lectures; he's also very well organized and very approachable. Would definitely take again!

He is a funny guy and he cares. Was his class easy? Sort of. The class only meets once a week and he will go through the slides quickly. So be prepared to read the textbook. If you ask him to go back to the slides, he will say all of it is in the textbook. Attendance is mandatory or else you will get points taken off of your grade.

He's honestly one of the best professors I've taken at CSUN!! He's hilarious and makes the lectures so interesting. There's only 4 exams which make up the grade but if you go to class you won't fail. You can rent the book on Amazon really cheap but you don't really use it (only for the last exam on therapies & mental disorders). TAKE HIM!!!

Funniest professor I've ever had. I had a hard time with the tests as the unit preview that he gives before a test can be tricky, to the point that I only passed two out of the four tests. Study hard but enjoy the lectures!

He's a really great person and professor. Applies learning to real life rather than old fashion heavy lectures. Everyday is a new surprise in the class. He really does care that you understand the material. Tests are really easy.

Professor Gardner is probably the best psychology professor at this school. He's hilarious and, if you love for science, has very engaging lectures. He'll relate the lessons to real life events to make it easier to understand. 4 tests, no midterm, no final. If you want to pass, attend class and STUDY! Read the book as it elaborates on the topics.
