Comment:

Dr. Padgett is a funny instructor, especially when he talks about his ex-wife. His syllabus is very clear. Your grade is based off of 6 midterm exams and a final exam. The exams are all multiple choice and he provides useful study guides online, so study well. He also gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.

Professor Padgett is so funny. Class is always interesting with him. There is a lot to do for his class, but he will work with you. There is two research papers on a specific topic of his choice and then there is a final research paper with the topic of your choice. Quizzes and exams are based off the book. Be sure not to miss class!

Mr. Vernon Padgett is an excellent teacher with years of experience and is an over-all great lecturer. He makes the lecture interesting with historical context and is just an enjoyable presence. Attendance is not mandatory for your overall grade, however, random extra credit assignments are usually hidden within classes. Great person, cool Tesla

The book is better off teaching you this class requires lots of book reading. Biweekly exams on one or two chapters. He gives you study guides so that made it easy but other than that i did not learn much in class. Hes really funny ill give him that.

Has a very poetic,calm voice and interesting lectures. Wise man with lots of experience. Taking notes all the time but very easy to read. Start studying your notes and homework early for best results. Tempting to zone out during class but its best to stay focused. Recommend this class 100 percent. Wont regret.

Comment:

I was intimidated when I first joined the class. But this old man can be entertaining in a synical way. Kinda like devil wears Prada when it comes to impressing him. But when you finally meet his standards, youll fly by in the class. This is one of my first classes that Im sad to be leaving the teacher AND classmates. Definitely recommend

I came back to do another review based on the last few I just read that rubbed me the wrong way. I attended Rio Hondo College several years ago and have went on to earn my Masters degree from USC. Professor Padgett does nothing but prepare you for a future of paper writing if you are looking to pursue a degree beyond community college.

I took psy101 with this professor and you literally have to work for your grade! No homework just in class extra credit due the day of the test and other extra credit assignments. Your test makes up your grade so if you fail the tests youll fail the class. Attendance is important this professor lectures and written notes in class,

Comment:

Hes forgetful I mean hes turning old give the man credit for extending his retirement to do what he loves. As long as you reach out to him for help you shouldnt fail. Do the StudyGuides & ResearchReports, they may seem overwhelming at 1st but make some friends to not drown alone. 3/4 of the StudyGuides answers are from lectures, listen carefully

Comment:

Professor Padgett is a great professor. Yes, he may mark off some spelling and punctuation errors in your papers, but he does it so you learn how to write a research paper. If you have questions, ask him; he's more of a great help when you personally ask him questions. Lastly, reading is a must for his class, or at least if you want a decent grade.

It is EASY to fall behind, go to class!. Turn in EVERY assignment, it doesn't matter if it's late or not complete, just do it. Make sure to do really well on the 1st research report, u can basically copy them for the next 2 with A's! Tests & quizzes are based on Cozby's online quizzes, study those along w/ his study guides & u will do well!

Great teacher. Grades tough, really tough. Plenty of reading, studying, but ec was available. Cumulative exams. Study guides. He gets upset when students do not follow direction. Work for ur A, even if he sees ur struggling but working hard he will notice. Writting and grammar skills are a must! Bring a jacket, his room is freezing even in summer.

Comment:

Dr. Padgett is an okay professor, he's not the best not the worst just average. The material he teaches is organized and he explains it thoroughly. He is a boring teacher and is a bit condescending at times. I feel his teaching methods are a little outdated and it causes students not to relate to him. HiS test are challenging and you have to study!

Comment:

I love Dr. Padgett. Research methods is not particularly the most interesting of topics but with his stories and examples, he makes the class less dreadful. I would DEFINITELY recommend going to his office hours to have him proofread research reports. He also uses some test questions from the textbook author's website on his quizzes!! Good luck!

I took Dr. Padgett for Psy 101H and Psy 200H and enjoyed both experiences thoroughly. He is sort of nitpicky on assignments, double check your grammar and make sure your papers are touching the bottom of the page! Great overall professor, definitely one of my favorites leaving Rio Hondo.

Comment:

Mr. Padgett is a very interesting person. His lectures can be long, but he always has a story to tell which makes the lecture not so boring. He gives study guides that are helpful. The only downside to the class is the daily worksheets you have to complete. They can be time consuming. Great teacher! Take him!

Best professor ever! You need to read the book to pass the class. His study guides are very helpful with the test(probably best you do it) and if you follow his guidelines you will pass. I definitely recommend, and would take again.
