Comment:
You need the backtest answers in order to pass this class. Questions are worded very strangely and his lecture style leaves you confused about what information to study.

Comment:
Great professor that makes class rather enjoyable. Drigotas consistently relates key terms to his personal experiences as well as specific case studies, which further enhances one's understanding of the material. However, it is essential to write down every word that he says or else tests will be extremely difficult. No need to buy the textbook.

Comment:
I took intro to Psych with Drigotas. His lectures where interesting and there was no homework. The tests were all multiple choice, but weirdly worded. Back tests will SAVE you. Not very helpful if you go to him with concerns about your grade. The class was easy if you managed the tests (there are 3 + final).

Comment:
While he does a good job of teaching the material, the test are very poorly written. There is a line of 10-20 students wanting to ask him questions about the wording of the test, ambiguous options. etc. at all times. The tests are all multiple choice, and the material is fairly simple, but his poor word choice makes the test much harder.

While the material is definitely a cake walk, his exams are just as unclear and wrought with poor phrasing as his lectures are, making them very difficult for those who don't study his old tests. If you do, you're golden.

Great presenter and clear lectures, but terribly when it comes to one-on-one. Tests are all multiple choice and very easy to make mistakes. Tests don't test knowledge of material.

engaging and funny professor. take notes WORD FOR WORD and you will do fine. otherwise, good luck. super funny during lecture but kind of an ass when meeting with him outside of class. overall, a good teacher though, again just be sure to get thorough notes!

No doubt the laziest professor, which is good and bad. You will not get the grade you deserve based on effort. Makes it so that people with connections (back tests) do best.

Comment:
Very good at explaining concepts, and at doing so in an interesting and entertaining way. Unfortunately, his tests are VERY poorly written. His command of written English grammar is such that merely comprehending his questions is often difficult. At the same time, he peppers them with ambiguous questions that demand rote memrisation of his stories.

Comment:
Great class...because so many people enrolled he got rid of the writing portion on his exams, making them super easy if you went to class and took good notes. The course should be easy for you if you have a good memory. The material was great and there wasn't really any work outside of exams except for a 2 page paper. Also Experimetrix was GREAT!

Excellent professor. Lectures are easy to understand and interesting when highlighted with examples. Tests aren't extremely difficult, but can be tricky. I took about 5-6 pages of notes per lecture, so he doesn't give an overload of info. You don't really need to buy the textbook though (he says he uses it, but no question on a test has come from i

almost impossible to do well unless you go to class and listen intently/take good notes. questions on tests can be very ambiguous unless you write down everything and memorize it.. or remember the answer coming out of his mouth: doesn't post lecture notes, book is useless. if you memorize everything this class is a breeze.

Drigotas is a pretty good teacher, and I actually did learn something from his class. He gives very unfair tests with ambiguous questions. One of the best teachers ive had at hopkins, which isn't saying much.
