Comment:

I loved Dr. Graves! This isn't just about sports. Although he does use some sports scenarios when talking about teams and performance, you don't need to be a sports nut to understand. I learned so much about human behavior and didn't expect to get as much as I did out of this class. Take this class to learn about performance, not just sports.

Comment:

Do not take his exercise psych class if you do not care about UML or traditional sports. His class is long and confusing and full of strange references that don't matter to those who don't follow traditional sports (ex. basketball, baseball). Has a tendency to go off on long irrelevant tangents.

One of the funniest most down to earth teacher I've ever had. He will tell you most of the questions on the quizzes before hand. If you go to every class you get extra credit. I highly recommend Jim Graves.

He's awesome! Great teacher, very easy. Thanks for the ratings, people. You were all right. The class was very interesting. FLOW! I cant believe that was a 300 level course. Way easier than some 100 level courses I've taken. Take this class with him, he's fun, funny, and there is a lot classroom interaction. The time will fly by and you'll learn!

Dr. Graves is a true teacher. Not only is he a teacher, but he has an active psychology practice. The lessons taught have a base in reality. All in all, Jim is a funny, bright, and an overall nice guy. Take this class even if you are not interested in sports. You will discover how the class is related to not only sports, but everyday life.
