Solid professor. Funny, intelligent, and gets everyone involved in the disscusions. Any of his classes make you work for your grade but it pays off because you retain the info. Make sure you work on your binder as the semester progress so you wont have to work under pressure during the final month between this binder and the research paper!!

Loved this class & learned sooo much. The quizzes are a lot, but if you study and write up the paper before it's easier than if you do not. Plus all the quizzes can be used as study guides for the final and for the project. I learned about myself and about counseling methods & techniques. I recommend him if you truly want to leave with knowledge.

Funny and genuinely caring! From day one, he lays out the entire class for you. His lectures are extremely thorough, and he'll repeat all the important points. The only issue was that he spent so long explaining some things that we were left to learn some material on our own for the midterm. I was exempt from the final for having a 100 average.

Professor Sanders is great! Took an intro to psychology course with him. There are 5 quizzes and he gives a review a week before each one so you know exactly what to expect. You will have to study hard for the midterm and final but they are doable. Also, if by the end you have a 95+ average, you can skip the final and still get an A!

Prof. Sanders is an AMAZING psych teacher! I had him for PSY 111 and I would take him again without hesitation. He will give you all of his expectations and tell you EXACTLY how to succeed!! There is no homework for this course, so you must have some self discipline to study all on your own but other than that it is an easy A!

He's really funny and that helps you to learn the material. He gets in your head and really will make you say "wow!" a lot of the time. The class is all lecture, but he gives great notes and make jokes through the whole thing. You definitely need the textbook for extra help and reading.

One of the best professors I have had so far. Really great guy who shows compassion for his courses and answers any questions you may have. Just make sure you ask questions at the end of class and he will go over with you to make sure you understand it. His exams are based off the notes and as long as you keep with the lectures, you should get an A

Any psychology class at OCCC is going to be hard. However, I felt Sanders was an overall great teacher and this class was not hard for me. He gives out 5 multiple choice quizzes in the semester that he tells you exactly what it is going to be on it. Overstudy and your set! I suggest you take him.

Best psych professor at this school. If you need to fill a psych elective, he's your guy. I ended up taking two more psych electives just to have him again. Great professor and also a great guy. Makes the class interesting and funny.

I looked forward to class, very interesting. I wish I knew about Dr. Sanders when I took Psy 101. Abnormal Psych was not easy but he gives you great quiztest reviews. Do the research paper early!!!!!! With that paper turned in and the extra credit done you can be exempt from the final! I was and it was an enormous relief. Favorite prof ever!

Long lectures and a lot of work. Need to study at least 12 hours to pass the midterm and final. Quizzes are easy if you study. Have to read book to do well. Great teacher though, makes a hard class a fun class. His attitude helped me pass.

Amazing teacher! He is very helpful and will explain anything. He will set you up for success if you actually are willing to do the work. All the five quizzes are from your notes he gives you. The midterm is challenging but as long as you study you will do great! If you need to take psychology, take it with this teacher! Highly recommend him!

Very fair and easy teacher. Do the work and study the notes he gives you in class and it's an easy A. Textbook use is minimal but read the chapters as a supplement and you won't need to study as much for the quizzes and midterm. Very helpful with any questions you may have. Highly recommend him!
