Comment:

Professor DiPerna is very clear about his expectations and lays his class out in a very organized way that is easy to follow. The material is challenging so you need to do the work and stay on top of things if you want a good grade. He is very helpful and understanding and it is clear that he wants you to succeed. I highly recommend him.

Comment:

I took the excel course online and it was a lot of work in a small amount of time. If you don't have time to dedicate to the class on the regular I dont suggest the express course. He is actually a very reasonable grader, offers EC options, and responds very quickly. I recommend taking notes during the readings to use on the tests. final exam15%

A lot of reading but if you stay on top of it, you will pass. If you put in the effort and study it is an easy A! He drops your lowest test score.

Comment:

He is very willing to help answer a question, and fast. He is very clear with that he expects. Do exactly as he tells you and you will learn and get an A. With him if your respectful you will get it back, you ask a stupid question, you probably won't get an answer because he states everything clearly ahead of time. Very reasonable amount of work.

Comment:

Professor Diperna has very tough Psychology class, how ever I believe is much easier online than in person. His weekly tests are HARD, BUT he gives 4 extra assignments that will rise you grade whole letter. If you do good on discussions and extra credit assignments & show you're trying you will pass! his videos are interesting as well.

Comment:

Dr. Diperna has a very structured online psych class that is geared to teach you everything you need to know about psychology. He has VERY high expectations & puts out TREMENDOUS amounts of work. His weekly tests are NOT easy, nor straight forward so you need to understand major concepts & themes outlined in the chapters & videos. Loved the class!

Comment:

Took this PSY 103 online during a 5 week summer session. He gave 5 extra credit essays that would boost your grade up a whole letter and he dropped 2 of your lowest grades from the test. It was a lot of work but he is a great Prof. Must stay on top of your work and look at what is due for that week.

Comment:

HORRIBLE! Took his class online and I ended up with a C. He was very rude when you e-mailed him with a question, assigned a ridiculous amount of work, and made it known that the class was doing poorly. Did he do anything about it? Nope. AVIOD THIS TEACHER!

This class was alot better than what I anticipated and kept me interested through the whole course.I took this online. P. DiPerna's directions are clear and precise. His test are fair and not at all impossible. You just need to learn the subjects and you will do fine. It is chalenging. I really enjoyed this class.

Comment:

Class is very straight forward and he is clear about what you need to know. He shows a lot of video clips involving " white mice " but very useful in regards to all different theories that we cover in class. His exams are easy there is always extra credit so take the class...he is a monotone prof but still class is interesting...

Comment:

Definition of monotone. Tests are hard, but not impossible if you read the book- because the lectures are essentially worthless. Attendance is not mandatory or even called. So yes- you can skip his class all week and just keep up on the reading. And oh yeah, his powerpoints are on angel- so you honestly dont even have to go to his classes. Terrible

Comment:

Class is passable, but you can't half-ass it. Tests are tough, based on both text and notes, so don't skip too many classes. He shows a lot of old movies. Don't take him in a 3-hour class. Ever. He's kind of boring. Each test has easy extra credit, don't let that pass - it's easy, and 15 points. On occasion, he'll surprise you by being interesting.
