Comment:

Another one of my favorite professors. If you can take a class with Beck, I highly recommend it. Stats is what it is, more SPSS work, lectures make sense, and this was my last class with Beck, and I'm sad because his class made my day. You have the option to miss an exam, but I wouldn't, due to too much stress during finals. Find study buddies. :)

Dr. Beck is literally the best professor I have ever had. He's a super nice, caring guy and his lectures are so interesting and hilarious. I wouldn't miss a day of class with this guy.

First off, if youve got a friend or two in class then you can probably get away with never going because he only takes attendance sometimes. But Id recommend going to class because his lectures are really funny and hell let you know what not to study for the tests. Do the extra credit, it doesnt take long. But this class was a walk.

His tests are very easy, if you study the PowerPoints you will get an A on all the tests. Dr. Beck is hilarious and I enjoyed every minute of his classes.

Comment:

Dr. Beck is great. This is a large class, but many people would just show up on tests days. Study the Powerpoints or just find Quizlets and you will pass the class. Do the extra credit, it's just filling out surveys. I went to class almost every day mainly just out of curiosity of what hilarious story Dr. Beck would share (ask him about jail).

Comment:

He is a great professor, fun, caring, genuine, not afraid to tell you the truth and how he feels about things. Since it is a large class attendance isnt really mandatory but attending class is something that you should do frequently because he tells us exactly what is on the test and gives hints about what to study on each slide, etc. Fun class.

One of the easiest classes I've taken at ACU. Dr Beck is a hilarious, intelligent and compassionate man. He has so many thought provoking life insights about faith & his anecdotes make the material memorable . Teaches from the PowerPoint. I read the class textbook for most classes, but you don't need to read the textbook to succeed in this class.

I loved this class! Beck is that kind of teacher that you will never forget! The only two cons I have about this class is that Beck can get off track and stray away from the subject. Secondly, the class is based off of conprehension not memorizaiton ( so dont spend a week straight memorizing a bunch of notecards hopeing it will get you and A).

Amazing professor! Loved his lectures. Even though you don't have to go to every class, I genuinely wanted to go so that I wouldn't miss anything. You'll learn some amazing things in this class. Highly recommend! Have to put in work before tests and actually study, but he gives you all the info you need and plus there are quizlets online

He does take attendance, but doesn't take it every day. This class is super chill and his lectures are always over things that are interesting. The only grades you get in this class are the test grades, so just study for those and be prepared. If you do well on the tests then you don't have to take the final. He also offered 20 points extra credit

Such an amazing teacher! He is HILARIOUS and made my morning 78438 times better. Although its a big class, he made it seem smaller. I wouldn't go into it thinking you'll get an A. Be sure to study pretty hard for tests and expect to get a C if you don't.

Overall he was a really good teacher. He puts the notes from class online so if you miss any notes, you can use the ones on the internet. The only critique I'd really have is that he jumps around a lot on topics and sometimes the necessary work isn't done. It was an easy A and I would definitely take him again. (A LOT OF STUDENTS IN HIS CLASS)

He is highly respected. A common favorite among students. Just an all around great guy who teaches a great class. I would highly recommend.
