Good teacher but very boring lectures. I honestly did not enjoy this class. So many small assignments that begin to add up very fast.

Dr. Maier was a very easy going guy and always made you feel comfortable in lectures. He went out of his way to make sure that you could relate to the material and understand it well. Although the definite plus side to this class is every exam being online, they are very lengthy and you dont have very long for them. You will need a clicker!

I loved this professor. His lectures were great, he knew very well what he was talking about and could always relate it to everyday life. The tests are a bit difficult but so long as you study and read the text book youll be fine. There is a lot of reading/ homework for this course but all of it is very helpful in understanding the content.

Comment:

101 was the easiest class I've ever taken, but did require a lot of memorization. His lectures were very boring, dragging on forever. He is very knowledgeable about the topic, but will go into anecdotes unnecessarily, but is extremely caring and wants his students to do well. I strongly suggest using the online textbook to practice before exams.

Loved pysc 101 with dr. maier. He is really passionate about his lectures, is also willing to meet you before or after class to help you. Graded assignments are a lot but if you keep up with them you'll be fine. He does post slides, so GO TO CLASS!!!10/10 would recommend and would 100% take again!!

Comment:

His lectures were very long. He tended to focus too much on topics that were simple, instead of spending time on harder concepts. He is very nice and always willing to help you if you don't understand, but sometimes his lectures can be extremely boring and not cover everything it should.

Online assignments are easy, and he tells you what to study for exams. Encourages discussion in lectures, and uses clicker points as participation. Really loved learning psychology. He made it enjoyable by giving funny examples. Would definitely take his again

Comment:

Maier is not the greatest professor because he expects you to teach yourself the material before even getting to class. However, his exams are very straight forward, he doesn't try to trick you at all which is really nice. As long as you do the homework and study, you'll be fine. Take your laptop to class to take notes bc he doesn't post them.

Comment:

Maier isn't a bad guy, but you've got to be ready to teach yourself, or come with a lot of notes. If you do it right, your notes will match up with what he's talking about, and the tests will be extremely easy. On the bright side, he's one of the few people who know how to use a point based grading system, and there's up to 20 extra credit points.

Dr. Maier is an amazing professor. I haven't encountered a professor so caring towards his students like him, since attending SU. All of the exams were online, he gives great feedback, he pushes back assignments if he notices that people are having difficulty meeting the deadline. I can go on and on. I definitely recommend him!!!

I took him for psych 101, his lectures are kinda long but he takes role with the clicker and you do questions with the clicker. As long as you read the book and do the online stuff you should do fine on the tests.

Comment:

Let me start by saying that Professor Maier is a very nice guy. I did not however enjoy the class. Lectures are a tad boring and he spends 90% of the time trying to coax answers and examples out of people. Stresses that you should have become a master on the material before he "teaches" it, and the powerpoint are bare of info. Don't recommend.

Lecture is super boring, lots of corny jokes. Ugh, make sure u do the online hw it gets you otherwise and read ahead for the clicker questions. His exams are sort of tough but, good online practice. Never responds to emails..
