Comment:

My favorite professor so far. Funny. Everything is online except for the exams. Counts test 3 as your final if you have perfect attendance. Is very understanding if you miss an assignment and will re-open it. 2 easy writing assignments. Gives up to 60 points in extra credit that helps A LOT so do not miss out on it.

His lectures are pretty interesting and his exams arent that bad. If you go to class with 100% attendance you can opt out of your final

Brubaker was a really cool guy. i enjoyed my psy101 class because of him. he was funny, kinda laid back, never rude and very respectful and mindful or proper terms to use when it came to gender/sex/sexuality. the 2 papers arent hard but dont procrastinate. everything is online & you dont really need your book

I took him for PSY101 and ended up with an A. All the answers to the quizzes are online and the tests, for the most part, are based off quizzes. You don't need to show up everyday, but highly recommend that you do because then you don't have to take a final. The abundance of HW covers you if you do mediocre on the tests. Easy A.

He is very disorganized. I never knew when things were due because he kept forgetting about the assignments or he didn't give us access on Blackboard. The paper grade was outrageous; he wanted on thing but graded on something different. Test are based on chapter quizzes.

Very nice guy. Easy class as long as you study straight from the blackboard quizzes. He is a little scatterbrained, but again, very nice dude. Always willing to help you understand in a different way than he originally explained something.

Loved him. Homework assignment and quiz every week. You get what you put in. Its an easy A if you just literally do that work that is assigned and put effort into it. The writing assignments were difficult (only 3) Pay attention in class, bc randomly he will ask questions for clicker points. He is so so easy. Take him and you will easily get an A.

Brubaker is not really that bad. The grade you get is the grade you deserve. What you get in is what you get out. Brubaker keeps the class interesting and keeps you involved. You get points throughout the class and for showing up, three papers, a few tests and mostly lessons and assignments that he gives you a week to do.

Writing assignments were awful. Also pay attention in class because he makes you use a clicker and it counts toward your grade. Go to class

Brubaker is a little unorganzied, but cmon, he teaches 3 courses with 200+ students each. He always makes lectures comes to life. Very knowledgeable & always has great youtube videos to go along with what you're learning. If you have perfect attendance all semester, you don't have to take the final.

Very disorganized. He is funny and his class can be interesting. There is homework, a learnsmart, and a quiz due each work, which can get annoying. There are clicker points so skipping class can bring your grade down a ton. Overall, he is a good teacher just do the homework, quizzes, and come to class ready ready to answer for clicker points.

He was a great teacher! He has weekly assignments and online quizzes. The tests come straight from the quizzes, so study those and you'll be fine. If you have perfect attendance you don't have to take the final. Also, he has clicker questions so if you dont come to class its hard to get an A or even a B. If you do go to class, its an easy A.

If something goes wrong with the quizzes (which happened multiple times over the semester), he still expects you to take the quiz online even if you have already taken the exam over those chapters.

Taking one of Brubaker's classes is an experience for sure. The class is pretty easy and Brubaker makes it very interesting. Attendance is very important in this class if you show up to every class you don't have to take the finale.

Brubaker was may favorite teacher. He has a real passion for psych and everything he teaches is easy to understand. He shows hilarious videos that help you grasp the concepts and he made learning fun and easy. This class should be an easy A. Just understand the overall concepts he teaches and memorize the quizzes and you will be fine.

Comment:

This class was an easy A class. It was the same thing every week, so he was consistent, plus he gave a ton of examples for things. If you go to class everyday you can skip the final, which is what I did and I still managed an A. There is quizzes each week and a few papers but that is all. I would take the class again.

Comment:

Is often unorganized. First half of class is reviewing old stuff, talking about blackboard, current events, and random crap. Then students are expected to know uncovered material because of delay. Slow to respond to anything. Class is easy to succeed in, but tests are hard. Notes are allowed which makes it okay.

Do the homework and weekly quizes and you will do fine in the class. I had perfect attendance so I didn't have to take the final which was killer.
