A good and knowledgeable professor. His accent gets the best of him hard to understand you only get graded on 3 tests and a book report. Super easy as long as you take his notes and go by the book!

Comment:

although he may be hard to understand sometimes, grades few things and barely uses the textbook, he is a good professor. Basically, if you go to every class and look over the review, the exams will be a piece of cake. He knows his stuff but he is not tech savvy. I think he's a great professor

If you want a easy psychology class, that has easy tests, and is very light on homework, take this class! Easy A, show up, take notes and write down the examples he gives, and you will pass no problem.

Comment:

Mr. Atanda is an awesome professor. His class is extremely easy. All you do is take your daily notes, study them for 20 minutes and blast through the few 20 minute tests. Great classroom environment and lecture-giver. He gave me over 100% for the class. 1010 class. (You can even use your phone without him caring, just no ringtones.)

Comment:

He know's his stuff, and gives good examples that help you to understand psychology. Although he does get a little confused when you ask questions because of the language difference, he is pretty clear on what he is teaching. Just pay attention and take notes. A lot of extra credit opportunities if u give specific answers on the test- very easy A.

Oh man. Could not hear him even from the front row, I learned nothing about teens, the only thing he talked about was children which was no help. He showed up videos that were off topic and I think he just gives everyone a B at the end anyway. I kinda wanted to learn about teens so bummer. But if you need an easy A, take his class.

Comment:

Nice guy, rather soft-spoken so sit in the front to hear him better. I had to do just 3 papers; easy topics. Not a stressful class at all. Just take good notes in class and study since they're exactly what's on the tests. It helps to not miss class too. I got extra credit for not having any absences. Altogether, this class was rather easy.

Comment:

Literally did nothing in his class. You go in, he takes attendance for 20 minutes, he talks about the group project that is due at the end of the semester, and you leave. Don't buy the book you won't use it. The only thing he assigned was a group project and a 3 page paper both due at the end of the semester. Easy A, but you don't learn anything.

Comment:

No homework, can't get below a C for a test, watches video's every class, never uses the book. I'm a serious student, but what more could you ask for? Easy A, even for slackers. Only downside is you learn nothing about psychology, and will be bored out of your mind. Think you can handle that for the easiest A you will ever get in college.Nuff said!

Comment:

I had him for Adolescent Psych. He's a sweetheart, but you can't understand him, he assigns practically nothing, cancels class without notice all the time, loses your work etc. He was funny but I was there learn about adolescents and he showed us videos about elephants and 8 year old murderers. I didn't gain any knowledge about adolescents.

Comment:

Although he is a very nice man, if you are looking to gain any knowledge from this course, take it with a different professor. He is very soft spoken and his accent is very difficult to discern. His lectures are very short and useless due to the fact he takes at least 30 minutes for his attendance and introduction.

Comment:

I did not want to rate this professor any lower than I represent in my scale. I thought that giving one's in helpfulness and clarity would make me seem apathetic and aggressive. While this class the subject matter that could have been discussed in this class could have been incredible it was not. You could not understand or grasp the lectures.

Comment:

Cool guy and truly smart although you may not believe it due to the difulcty in understanding him. If your majoring in Psychology maybe find someone else...MAYBE. but he is an easy A maybe a B for some people, has extra credit, grades on a curve and is approachable. Dosnt use the book and I believe 10% of his grading is "Class Civility" so be nice!

He is very nice but soft spoken, I could never really understand him ( sit in the front, it helps). Doesnt give a lot of work. I would take him again.

Sit in the front, it helps! I got a A's on most of the tests, but a B as my final grade bc i didnt study too well for the last test. to get an A in his class: READ THE TEXTBOOK. the q's on the test r based fr it. i didn't pay attention too much in his class, but got A's on tests bc of independent studying. if you're good at that, you'll be fine.

Comment:

I cant stand this class, I have about two weeks left and I cant wait to be done. I cant understand him. He is nice, but hard to hear and understand. He forgets what he taught us last week, repeats and skips around. Im almost done with the class and we are on chapter 6, we should be on 15. I didnt use the book at all, shouldnt have even bought it.

This teacher knows his stuff. He is soft spoken with an accent but if you dont take advantage of that you will have no problem in his class. He explains everything he teaches and gives great examples.REREAd HIS TEST QUESTIONS they can be tricky. Its a great atmosphere to learn in. Take it and get an A. He is an interactive teacher

Comment:

He does have an accent and he is sort spoken. That does not mean he cant teach.If you take advantage of his kindness then its your own fault you dont learn in his class. He is great at explaning everything he teaches. Show up be quiet and take the notes he writes on the board. THis man teaches to all learning styles.
