Excellent professor, really got me interested in what we are learning. He cares about his students and wants you to do well. Tests and quizzes from the previous year are posted for review before exams, and they make great study guides.

Comment:

I did not enjoy this professor at all. He was rude and did not show any concern for the success of his students. It was hard for me to pay attention in his class because he would move around so much. I was bored to death 99% of the time. Do yourself a favor and do NOT take a course with Anderson.

Anderson is so kind and cares so much about his students. He also knows psychology inside and out. I thoroughly enjoyed his class! Just take good notes, study his old practice exams and you will ace this class and learn more about yourself and the world around you!

Comment:

Generally unengaging lecturer in a numbingly simple class. Teaching style stresses straight regurgitation as opposed to critical thinking. Take if you are a freshman "adjusting to college", otherwise challenge yourself more.

Tends to go on a tangent rather than explain concept well.

If you attend class and take notes, you will do fine. Study previous tests and quizzes as well as notes. No homework ever, just lecture.

Just take notes on the lecture, he doesn't use much from the book on the tests. Look at the test archives in the library.. He uses a lot of same questions.

Comment:

Professor Anderson is such a great teacher. I've only had one class with him, but what an impression he's made. He makes class interesting and funny, but touches upon difficult topics too. He definitely made me excited to live my 'one wild and precious.' Some advice: keep up with the textbook reading and take notes when you come to class.

Favorite professor of all time, hands down. He teaches you not only about psychology but about life too. He's a super sweet guy with an amazing sense of humor. I had decided to transfer schools but considered staying just for him. I will definitely always remember him. You leave the class feeling like he's your loving grandpa

Comment:

Very difficult class but he is very caring about his students. There was not one time he was not willing to meet me and help me. Even with that, it wouldn't be a quick meeting, he took time to make sure I understood concepts better and cared about how I was feeling. He's very compassionate.

Great professor. A professor with a heart of GOLD. Not an easy grader, but is willing to help students do better in his courses. Helps to peak your interest in the subjects by funny anecdotes and stories. You'll want to go to class and not miss the lectures. Tests are all about application not memory!

Anderson cares a lot about what he is teaching. If you are into psychology, you'll love it, if you are not, at least it is an easy A. His tests are incredibly easy and have a ton of extra credit.
