Comment:

He shows up to late every single class and on exam days so don't worry about being late. I would recommend if U want to put ur money to good use to actually learn something enroll in the other 290 class. He Does not have his life together. Did not learn anything in 4 months. Prepares U for 70s and lower. Read the textbook!! Beware he stalls.

Comment:

One of my favorite professors here. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his work. His lectures are clear and very interesting. He ended up getting me more interested in psychology to the point where I am considering it as a minor. His exams are based directly on his lectures, so paying attention is key. He offers a lot of extra credit.

Comment:

Very engaging teacher. He loves the topic and has his querks and fetishes (image puzzles... don't ask). He is very clear in getting things across, as well as very reasonable as to what's going to be on the test. If you don't cover something in class, he is very flexible and will wait till the next test to cover it. Overall, great, take him

Comment:

Such a nice guy and super understanding. If you've ever taken a psyc class you'll have no problem with his. There are a few home works but they only take about 15 minutes to do if that. He can come off as a little creepy but he means well and it makes the class interesting to see what strange things he's going to say.

Comment:

Wurst's class is very easy if you attend regularly. I managed to get an A or B+ on every exam by going to class and skimming the my notes/reading the day of the test. There is some homework but most if it is incredibly easy and takes no time at all.However, he can be cringe-ably awkward sometimes and seems to treat his class like its full of kids.

OMG Dr. Wurst is by far one of the best at Oswego...puts his lectures online, very clear notes and expectations..I have him for 410 and 401 and he is the best. Always available for help and an overall nice guy. The person below me is probably a freshman too lazy to do work so don't pay attention to that post!

Comment:

I relied on this website to help me pick out the best teachers Oz has to offer. Major let down for this one. Wurst started out as a nice enough guy but on occasion he yells at students and makes things awkward. Knows what he is talking about, but does not know how to teach. I gave him the benefit of the doubt early in the year, i regret that now.

Excellent teacher. Well organized, keeps lectures entertaining, uses good examples, and his tests are a good mix of textbook material and class material. Go to class, do the work, and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Class was very interesting- Professor kept us interested with many in class activities. Homework's were easy- as long as you do them you get full credit. Tests are multiple choice and essay- takes the essay questions from the textbook website and picks two of them. Highly recommend him to anyone :)

Comment:

This class was fairly simple and straight forward. People who fail his class or get bad grades are usually the ones who don't attend class and if they do, they fall asleep. Psychology has a lot do to with memorization of terms and if you're not ready for that, then you need to find another major.
