Comment:

Almost feel as if the class is set up to make you feel like a failure. He does not wish to answer emails. Gets way off track during lectures. Lectures and outlines are no help for the tests. If you want to pass, you're going to have to spend hours reading and re-reading. Did not follow syllabus.

The online course is very difficult, you must put a good amount of time aside for studying. He always replies to questions through e-mail in a timely manner.

LOVED this teacher. Really gives you a valuable education. Not gonna lie, you have to study a lot of his class.OUTLINE THE CHAPTERS IN THE BOOK and you will be fine on the exams. He's fair, he makes you work for your grade. I loved this teacher because I have remembered things from his class and can use it in my psych classes now

Took as an online class in the summer and it was difficult! Its not impossible but it was hard. There is a lot of work to do and you have to keep up. This is not an online class you can walk through it requires you to sit at home study, read, and take notes.

Brilliant man, tough class. Veterans class is harder than regular class so it was even harder for me but still passed. Great teacher, though.

Comment:

Physio is the hardest class I have ever taken. The material is fast paced (neurological material that should have plenty of time spent on), the tests are mind boggling and get harder. He spends way too much time in the first chater of each unit and rushes through the last. By and by, he has humorous stories.

Comment:

He has lightened up ALOT of the yrs! I had him once for physio and dropped it, i'm taking it again and he changed it up for the better. If u have a weak background aind biology, this course will be challenging! He's pretty entertaining and wants u to learn. Gives extra credit crossword puzzles and different diagrams to label.

Very clear and easy to understand. Mainly uses the review and homework sections from the book. Don't expect to resell your book after this class.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!!! Do not take him if at all possible!!! I managed to get an A in the class but literally studied constantly. The test questions did not match up with the chapters in the book, and going to class everyday didn't seem to help me either. STAY AWAY!

Comment:

I'm all for working hard to get an A; however, Dr. Haynes makes getting an A seem unattainable. The textbook, lecture outlines, and test questions were completely different. If you take this class with him, buying and READING the book is a must to do good on the tests, and attending class daily!

Comment:

He wrote the book so he knows the information inside and out. He gets way too in depth for an "intro" to Psych class. You have to attend class and really know the info to pass his exams.

Awesome Professor! I don't understand why anyone has trouble with the course. The textbook used was amazing, and the exams were simple multiple choice. Sure, a few of them were hard questions, but I never got less than an A- on an exam. This Prof is hilarious and made the class interesting and easy to study for.

The professor is very nice, enjoyable in class and has very extensive knowledge of the subject matter. Having said this, the class is super hard and the tests are only somewhat over the notes. There are a lot of things on the test we do not even talk about. After reading the chapters and doing the practive tests associated with the book, the tests

Comment:

This guy is by far the worst in the psych department, and I've had a ton of Psych classes so I would know. He seems friendly at first, but as soon as you need help outside of class he turns into satan. he's very rude and doesn't like having to communicate ouside of class. ANYONE else in the department should be taken before him!
