No papers but lots of tests and his lectures are so boring. Most people do bad on tests and thats probably why he curves. I would not recommend.

professor Osman isn't as bad as people make him seem. As long as you show up and take notes you'll pass. The exams are literally all multiple choice making it even easier to pass. I recommend him, he's funny sometimes. No homework

He is super boring and does not know how to teach a class. He just stands there and does not have a clear view of what he is talking about, I didnt learn anything, his curve are super unfair. The worst experience ever as freshman.

Your entire grade is based on 2 exams and a final. God awful class, I struggled to stay awake every day. He has no clear review and his curves are unfair beyond belief. Only gives extra credit if you talk every day in his class... so about only 3 students get the extra credit. Super unfair class, avoid at all costs.

Comment:

Just awful. He does not teach - instead he tells far fetched stories and shows clips that he does not connect to the class. It is never clear what his lectures are about (no topic/focus) or where he is going with it. Oh, and your grade is based on TWO EXAMS (no other assignments). Please if you want to pass this course, DO NOT this guy.

I would never in a million years take him again. The lectures are soooooo boring and he just rants on and on about I don't know what. Needs a different style of teaching. Two exams midterm and final and no clear review on them. Avoid him!

good for if you're looking to go into a therapy related career, he shares a lot of useful case stories from his own experience. He's not the most lively guy but he throws in some jokes every now and then. Your rade is fully based on the midterm and final, both are fair. I never opened my textbook, lecture was enough to get me through the tests

Comment:

So if your basically looking for a class that doesn't require much work take him because he doesn't give any homework, no essay or project work at all either. You just have three tests that are based on the chapters in the text book. Everything he talks about is from the text book! He created slides and just reads off of that. He's also pretty nice

Great Professor with many years of experience in the field. Many students are complaining that professor is boring. Well, no professor should be the entertainer. Professor Osman's classes are not boring. They require some concentration and thinking. Be ready to read the material and challenge yourself a bit. Professor is always happy to help.

Nice guy but the class was boring he reads directly from the slides his exams are difficult but you MUST read the textbook he curves on the exams so that is great! He know what he is talking about but his delivery is just dull. One midterm and a final. Good luck!

Comment:

Excellent teacher! Took two classes with him, psychotherapy and hypnosis. Provides loads of information and support to do well in course. Those who were not happy most likely did not want to put any effort into own performance. Class requires reading and attendance of the lectures; there are midterm and final.

You could get a good grade, you could not, it depends on how much you study on your own. Professor Osman will bore you to death if you have him for a long lecture class. Do not take him if you like psychology.

Comment:

Professor Osman is a really nice guy but he's not that great at teaching. If you have questions, do stop him & ask because he doesn't mind. His exams are worth most of your grade more than attendance. Honestly, his lectures are not very helpful but if you just read the chapters, you'll do fine on his exams.

Comment:

Everything is from the textbook and we were expected to finish all 17 chapters!! He's extremely nice although his lectures are not the best. His lectures are composed of pictures from the textbook.. although it does help you understand the textbook readings a bit more, the lecture does drag. best part is his tests are not cumulative

Comment:

Osman is honestly a nice guy, but he is not a great teacher. He reads from the textbook and puts random pictures from the textbook up as slides. His tests are extremely hard and if you want to pass, you must read the textbook. He does curve the test though. I wouldnt recommend this class, if there are other options.

Comment:

let me start by saying Professor Osman is so nice and very smart. His teaching methods are however not ones i am used to. He uses stuff from 1990s non of his material is updated. You will only do well on the tests if you read the textbook, there are also no other opportunities for points, no homework and no papers. his lectures are random.

Comment:

Very boring. Hard tests. But super nice guy. Study in advance and take notes from the textbook. Lecture time is boring and he shows slides with mostly pictures, so its hard to take notes. But if you use the textbook you'll be fine. Grades on a major curve which is great.

Comment:

Not recommended. The class was a total snoozefes and its nearly impossible to pay attention. the professor is rally nice but hes all over the place in his teachings. The grade is based on a midterm and final with no papers or homeworks assigned. Don't take this class if you dont have to
