Comment:

Here is the deal. He gives the most reading materials among all professors. Also, he is the best lecturer at the same time. Thus, make sure you don't take his Social psychology until Junior/Senior year cuz it will destroy you as a freshman. He will try whatever to help you get a better grade and offers extra credits.

Comment:

This was the most challenging course Ive ever taken but also the only course Ive taken in college that I feel is truly worth calling a college course. Its hard but I learned a lot, and so did my family because the material was so interesting that I went home and talked about it. You HAVE to do the study guides! Dont try not to... youll fail.

Comment:

Great teacher at Saint Mary's, especially because he really does open his door to students. His lectures just go over a printed sheet of the lecture, which is boring because you can just read it yourself. Tests heavily based on Textbooks. All essay question tests, start study guide the second you get it and have him review it with you!

Comment:

He is a great guy and professor. However, you have to work hard for the test. I took this class over the summer and it was super intense. Each week you have an exam, you get a study guide with 20 questions on it, he gives you 8-10 options on the test and you choose 6. He's very picky and likes and expects lots of details but he does try to help.

This class demands a lot of time and effort, but Dr. Temple is an amazing professor. He makes the lectures engaging and interesting, and looks at your study guides ahead of time to give feedback. Your grade will reflect the time you put into your studying. Try not to miss class and work hard, his examples really stick in your memory.

Comment:

He pushes you academically because he believes you can do it. His class requires hard work and as far as grades go, what you get depends on how much time, work, and studying you put it. Hes very approachable, cares for his students and is good at clarifying things you don't understand.Start his study guides as soon as you get them they're no joke!!

Comment:

Temple's class is one of the hardest you will ever take at SMC. While the content isn't necessarily challenging, you will work extremely hard for the grade you want. Go to class, do the study guides and seek his help, you have no reason to not get at least a B. He's an awesome professor who cares intensely for his students and the subject.

Comment:

Very interesting professor. Provided many interesting examples for the lessons we were learning. Enjoyed the videos that he showed in class. Was always able to meet with students when convenient for the student, not him. Very caring. Tests were a little difficult, however, if you study, you'll be okay.

Dr. Temple expects a lot from his students but is more than happy to help. Start study guides as soon as he hands them out and make flash cards and do every essay using bullet points. The class is sometimes boring but Temple keeps it interesting. I really enjoyed his class!

A horrible class, but he does the best he can to get you through it. it's dry material and he is a hard teacher, so much reading and studying and knowing almost everything. But you learn a lot and is always willing to help.

Temple is quite demanding but he wants to see his students succeed. So there'll be enough opportunities to boost your grade. Don't let the study guides intimidate you. You'll be surprised by how much information you can actually retain. As long as you star
