Comment:

Easily the BEST professor I have ever had, he is very engaging and interesting during class time. I never missed class just because how much I loved the class. Took this class as an elective credit as a business major, but makes me want to change to a psych major! Class is generally easy and allows LOTS of extra credit, don't see how you can fail.

Dr. Don has been the BEST professor I've had so far. He is a great lecturer but be prepared to take great notes if you plan to do good on the test. His awesome class made me want to change majors to Psychology. He will make you want to go to class.

This class was so much fun! Dr. Don made psychology and grasping all the content very easy and applicable. Lots of stories and lecture so be sure to TAKE NOTES! It can be easy to just come to class and just listen because he makes the class VERY fun but please take notes otherwise you will have difficulty in passing his exams called celebrations.

Dr. Don is an AMAZING instructor. He makes learning about psychology easy, interesting and fun. He is very animated and will keep you engaged and laughing. No homework, 3 papers (easy), 4 exams including final, 1 major group project and opportunity for extra credit. I am a pre-nursing major and I highly recommend this class. **FREE ONLINE BOOK

Don is AMAZING! 10/10 recommend his class. you WILL look forward to his class. his lectures are fantastic. Take GOOD notes--study it all before the test. you write 3 papers in the semester (not bad at all) & have one final project. Try your best to not miss bc you'll miss out on important parts of lecture. I would take the class again if I could!

Dr Don taught me the most about psychology. His lectures are always interesting and we learn something new. I wasn't into working in groups when I started his class, but he makes the projects fun and interesting that I actually now like it! Taking this class gets me excited to learn more about psychology.

AMAZING TEACHER! He is very funny, gets everyone involved and interested in the material and keeps their attention on him. He is a tough grader when it comes to both his test & essays. He doesn't give homework but does group projects. He will give extra credit as well and is easy to meet up with in office hours or talk with through email.

Comment:

I was dreading to take a psychology course since I needed one social/behavioral science credit, but Human Sexuality ended up being my favorite class ever. I wish I could take it again! His class was fun, informative, and interesting. He gives great lectures and I like that hes open to hearing other peoples opinions.

Comment:

Took this class online as a flex course and it was primarily discussion posts and 3 essays throughout the semester. He was specific on what was required in each discussion post and also was pretty lenient on grading essays. Also plenty of opportunity for extra credit. Overall, really enjoyed this course.

Dr. Don made this class so fun and interesting. You need to take a lot of notes, but if you do, you will pass the celebrations no problem. We had 3 short papers throughout the semester, 3 celebrations, and 1 group project. He provides quite a few extra credit opportunities and as long as you're showing up and doing the work, you'll easily pass!

Loved the class! Made an A. Interesting lectures and 3 easy papers about yourself. Goofy at times, but smart guy nonetheless. Pick a good group to work with for final project! Study a little for 3 tests and you will enjoy the class. Offers book access but not required

Super fun and silly teacher! I always learned something new from him. Lots of group work and participation. Three easy papers and three tests. I just wish he provided study guides for his celebrations (tests) because they can be a little difficult, even if you take notes! But definitely take him!!! :-)

Phenomenal professor. His lectures were interesting and funny. There is a lot of group work and a big group project where you can choose your group. Three big papers, and about three tests. The tests were fairly easy for me, just study hard. Good extra credit opportunities. Provides access to an online textbook, which I never used. Take good notes.

AMAZING professor. Take his Human Sexuality class! He always gave interesting lectures. Always take notes & study them bc his tests which he calls "celebrations" can be tough. His essay prompts are clear & you don't need sources, everything is from your own perspective. I'd take him again if I could. He's funny, dorky, & really cool!

DR. Don's online class was easy enough, just participate in discussions and 3 papers about yourself. He was very sweet and helpful. I learned a lot from his class, you will to! Just do the work in the discussions and papers and you will do just fine!

Dr. Don was a very intelligent, bright professor that cares so much for his students. I did not expect to enjoy a psychology class so much. Lots of group work and presentations, including a "change the world" project. If you attend lecture and take good notes, it is an easy A. He also lets you have an index card on every test.

He is a funny guy. His classes are nothing but lectures. I try to take notes, but his hand writing is hard to read at times, so you have to literally listen and take notes. It's a tough class bc he doesn't give notes, or reviews for the celebrations. He doesn't use CANVAS so it's hard to keep up with grades, or reach a student/ him in the class.

Dr. Don is a cool guy, but this Human Sexuality course has been the class that i have stressed the most about this semester. He is a tough grader and doesn't cover everything in the lecture that he will test you on. Take lots of notes and just try your best!
