O'DeKirk is one of the best professors I've ever had. He is an amazing professor and definitely knows what he's talking about. Attendance isn't mandatory, but the powerpoints he gives have blanks, which can only be filled out from lectures. His lectures are very interactive and not boring. He's Easily accessible outside of class.

He's awesome. OD doesn't teach for a test, he teaches for you to actually understand the material. Quizzes are open book and tests come with a study guide. If you don't get an A, its your own fault. His examples are applicable and definitely wouldn't have done well had I not been in class every day. My favorite prof at Meredith.

Dr.O'Dekirk is definitely my favorite professor. He makes sure everyone understands and will meet with you outside of class to give you feedback or explain what you don't understand. He makes the class feel light and fun even though it is not a fun subject.

Dr. O'Dekirk makes things really easy to understand. He breaks it down to level of understanding. He is extremely helpful and offers great advice when needed on research. I had him for other classes too but this one was where he shined. I am positive I would not have done well in Psy 300 if I didn't take it with him.

I loved Dr. O'Dekirk's PSY 100 class, it really gave me a new interest in psychology and he made each class interesting and fun! You do have to keep up with the studying and read a couple of extra things in the book for tests, but he is always available if you need help and even organizes study sessions. Speak up in class & you will get Pez candy!

Comment:

Dr. O'Dekirk is a really great professor. His class is mainly lecture format but he encourages participation. Grades are mainly tests (which are objective) and two big projects (which give you a chance to be creative). He gives you the opportunity to look over old tests before midterm/finals. I would definitely take him again.
