Extremely boring lectures. Lectures cover the tips of the iceberg of whats on the exams. Unclear directions, expects Psychology to be your life, offended easily.

Comment:

He knows his subject, but his instructions are unclear and sometimes even contradictory. Syllabus had the bare minimum of information. Did not have an assignment sheet for final paper, expectations conveyed verbally, and were quite unclear. Lectures are unhelpful and not relevant to tested material. Relies on "group discussion" to fill time.

Comment:

I had Dr. Saterfield for general psychology, human development, and biopsychology. His style was very academic, hands-off - he made expectations clear from the start - read before class, come in to review and discuss. It was hard. This is how major classes should be; I learned a great deal, earned all As. Great sense of humor, too.

Comment:

Expects you to understand the details of the book in full detail,mostly on your own, and exams are hard. He allowed us to use book on exam, and later extended the time limit. Average scores were c's WITH the book.Didn't lecture much, too fast. Forgets we don't master the subject yet, and just goes too fast.Take it w/someone else if possible.

Comment:

Well, he's a psychology professor alright. Unfortunately, he seems to forget that his students are not. While his class is not impossible, its about as close to impossible as you can get. Its a good class for psychology majors, but not really anyone else.

Comment:

Easiest online class EVER EVER. 9 assignments, each one or two questions. don't have the book? answers are online everywhere. Don't attempt to cite the book. He'll mark off for incorrect. Assignments are easy but you also learn a lot by doing the small questions. It'll be with you for life.

Comment:

Dr. Saterfield is very flexible. All three tests were take home, and we convinced him to let us take home our final too. We even discussed some of the answers with him. The presentation was relevant, and appropriate for psychology. Hes actually a pretty nice guy. You do need to work for your grade--its college.

Comment:

Saterfield is very smart but i wouldnt say he is so good at teaching. You have to read half the book and memorize it and understand it. There is only one final for PSYCH 1 so be prepared to read a lot and to teach yourself.

Comment:

he knows his stuff, but he also knows how to put you to sleep! have to goto every class, take notes quickly cause he never keeps anything on the projector for more than 30 seconds, I thought this would be easier considering how much I love the topic.. I'd steer clear of him after this class- PS doesn't give you any study guide for final (only test)

Comment:

Dr. Satterfield is very knowledgeable, but his lectures are EXTREMELY unclear and have no organization/structure. He spends about half the time reminiscing about his days when he practiced. Your grade is based on participation, random attendance, 1 paper, and final. IF you want to learn something, I suggest you find another instructor.

Comment:

I took his Psychology 1 class, and i thought it was pretty cool that we only have three assignments for the entire quarter, but man it is soo easy to fall asleep. He can be funny sometimes, but he has a monotonous voice that can but anyone to sleep. I can fall asleep sitting up in class. He takes roll randomly like maybe a total of 5 times. just ma

Comment:

Completely disrespectful and on a total power trip. His instructions were unclear and when I asked him for help he basically told me it was too late and I should drop the class. He repeats himself constantly and it always feels like teaching us was beneath him. Find another teacher.

I thought this class would be more interesting, it wasn't. It was pretty boring, professor didn't do too well of a job to relate things to real life. Fair grader, clear, but just too boring.

Comment:

literally his class is like a hypnosis. do NOT be surprised that you'll fall asleep in his class b/c his monotone voice is "magical". all u need to do in his class is listen, but then all u need to do outside the class is to read the 50% OF THE 2-INCH THICK TXT BOOK. of course you'r not forced to read it, if ur not interested in passing the class.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE SATERFIELD. This teacher is not only unclear as to the work he expects from you but is unavailable and boring as well. Factor in copius amounts of reading and his lectures and it's a no win situation. I was a psych major until I took him.

Very nice, one big project, however quizess are 50 q's, some q's are worded tricky. I get b's and c's on all quizzes and was still able to get a B in the class. You must get all A's on the quizess to get an A in the class.

Comment:

Dear hard-working GPA 4.0 students, He is a GPA Killer. Every students got Bs. Never take in-class PSYCH from him. He won't guide you in how to study with all mutiple choises tests. If you want just B without studying much, take it. Mr.Saterfield, Go to Stanford and teach if you can't respect students! You are terribly unhelpful and errogant!

Easiest online course EVER. 9 simple, straightforward assignments. DO NOT CITE WORK (he marks off if you do it wrong) just simply summarize and paraphrase what you read and answer his questions directly. You must be able to write/read well!
