if you are still taking ESL, you probably will have a hard time in the class because a lot of the words are tough for ESL students. but the 70 extra credit will help u to go up a letter grade or even 2.

Comment:

During the first 2 weeks taking this class, I thought it was extremely boring. I kept doubting if I was going to like this class. But after the first 2 weeks, he got really deep into Humanistic Psych and my mind was blown. This class WILL change your entire outlook on your life and will even teach you a lot about yourself. Highly Recommend!!

Comment:

Dr. Bunce is awesome and he is very wise. Super knowledgeable about philosophy and he explains fallacies so that they are easy to understand. Exams are pretty easy if you study. Its best if you come to class instead of trying to read the book on your own because he explains fallacies way better than the book.

Prof Bunce is very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject and his lectures are captivating. If you show up to class and keep up with the readings it will be an easy A since he makes the subject interesting and relatable. No HW, just an easy midterm and take-home final, but don't slack: reading and participation is reflected in the grade.

Comment:

Humanistic Psychology with Professor Bunce was by far the best course I have taken in my entire life. He teaches so much more than just psychology. He provides you with "lightning bolts of insight" that can change the whole trajectory of your life. I truly believe that this course should be a prerequisite for all human-beings. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this class. The material is interesting and simple, and Bunce is a clear teacher. The homework wasn't collected,so there was a low stress-load. The exams are tough in the sense that they make you think(god forbid) and he is very critical when grading,but have no fear he gives a whopping 70+ points of EC, enough to make up for tests

You learn a lot, and Dr. Bunce is the teacher for this class. Tests are clear, he grades generously and is very approachable. 3 tests and 1 final. Tests less than 15 questions, final is about 20-25. EASY A if you show up to class and somewhat do the reading. He has an extra credit opportunity at the end which is great too. TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Don't skip class. Go. His lecture are not really lectures, but insights into how to experience and see the world from a different perspective. Bunce breaks down idealized barriers of how things are and should be, and lets us see an entire aspect of reality that you may never have considered before. Hard-to-tackle philosophical subjects made easy.

A wonderful professor! He simplifies everything so it's really easy to follow his lectures and it's quite interesting. I got all B's and 1 C on my quizzes but extra credit (a lot of pts) bumped me to an A. He cares a lot about his students and is very friendly and easily approachable. Ask him questions after class if you're lost! Super helpful

What a great teacher and person, his lectures were inspirational, showing us the light. Tells you what to look out for when people are trying to hoodwink you into something. I found it hard to grasp some of the ideas but if you work hard he will reward you. He is there for you too, thank you professor

Professor Bunce is the most amazing teacher on campus! I definitely recommend taking him. He is extremely helpful and it's obvious that he cares about his students by the way he takes his time making sure his lectures are clear. Time really flies by when you're sitting in his class. HW is never collected, but do it. It will help you on the exams!

Took him over the summer. Dr. Bunce is undeniably clear with his teaching and one of the best professors I've had. He goes over the same material to plant it in your brain, but not so in which you will be bored (re-iterating some things were necessary for context and clarity.)Pretty easy grading as long as you know the material. AMAZING.

Great teacher! He explains the material pretty well. Make sure to read the books because that will help you. I would start reading them around week three so you understand it more. One midterm, one finals and one essay paper! Easy A! Great teacher overall from someone who wasn't interested in PSYCH!

Comment:

Bunce is a GREAT teacher. IMO all Phil teachers are the most laid back/cool and smartest teachers on campus, but as good as Bunce is, this class will challenge you if you don't keep up with the reading. He'll pick on a row of students sometimes and have them answer questions so make you read or have an understanding. Last paper helped me get a B
