I received a B+, but that was definitely my doing. Mr. Fawaz provides multiple opportunities for extra credit, but I never had time. His lectures are very interesting, and he cares about his the material. Very Knowledgeable guy. DO THE EC! and attend class.

Comment:

Dr. Fawaz was a good Professor. It was a quick mini mester, so things went by quickly but the pace was easy to keep up with. The homework was at times insufferable, not hard just overly long and 2 chapters , 120 questions each due every 3 days. Otherwise, the class was easy and enjoyable and lots of extra credit opportunities, definitely use it !

He's a nice guy but he is a bit of a tough grader. BUT he gives a TON of extra credit. Like ALOT. you also NEED to show up to class.

Comment:

Dr. Fawaz was overall a great professor. The class is mostly based off online homework and tests, with one writing assignment. He gives TONS of extra credit on tests if you do some additional homework. Only complaint would be that the class felt somewhat disorganized, and that you have to print so many handouts for in-class participation.

Dr. Fawaz is hilarious and wonderful to be around. If you are not a psychology major, I'd chose a different professor. But if you are, there's no one better for the job. His course load is very heavy but he's always willing to help.

Comment:

This class is for people genuinely interested in Psychology. If you are not a Psych major or have no interest in psych DO NOT take this class. You learn a lot about different topics that have to do with every day living but this material is not factual and feels very opinionated . Fawaz is a great professor but be prepared to work. Tests are hard.

I took him online and I have to say the work was tough. But then again I work f/t and do school f/t. However, his discussions were the best. I truly enjoyed the fact he was willing to help however and whenever. I learned a lot about myself and the subject. I would def. say make sure you have TIME b/c there is A LOT of reading and information.

He is an awesome professor, and he really cares about you as a person. The class is tough, but I took hybrid pysch which was a lot of online work. I loved learned from him, and he took it beyond what the textbook taught. He kept it as simple as possible, and he tried to keep it interesting by relating it to our lives.

I took Mr. Fawaz's class during the summer, and he really didn't seem like he had adapted his schedule at all for the summer semester. He had hectic due dates and failed to update many things until hours before they were due. Very slow replies to emails and very unhelpful all around

Dan Fawaz one one of my teachers in 1989. Yes, you read that correctly. 1989! He was an excellent teacher back then and I'm thrilled to see he's still teaching. He was considerate and charismatic. He paid attention to detail and graded fairly but tough. He made a huge impact on my life. THANK YOU Dan Fawaz!

I took him for an online course which I'm pretty sure is pre-formatted. He was helpful and responsive anytime I had a question. The quizzes/exams were at times confusing because of the way they were worded but were moderately easy. We had simple group discussions and 2 papers which were graded pretty tough. Participating in group disc is mandatory.

Comment:

I highly recommend this teacher. He truly cares about the students and loves what he does. I don't do so well, but that's just a personal issue I have as a student. If you ask for help, he'll give it to you. He gives you many chances and a lot of extra credit. Would definitely take again.

Comment:

By far the most amazing professor I've taken. He WILL make you work for your grade and he cares just as much as you care about your grades. His tests are more on the tough side, but you just really have to study. He will say things in class or show videos in class and it will be on the tests. So showing up is mandatory.

Dr. Fawaz was excellent. Responded to email quickly and made himself available on a weekend to review my draft paper. Class is a lot of reading and writing--papers, discussions and major project. This is a great class, great professor but you have to do the work and put in the effort. I took this online in the short 4 week session.

Dr. Fawaz is one of the toughest professors I have ever had, but also the most engaging. He really wants you to learn and genuinely cares about his students. Do every extra credit he assigns and discuss research paper often with him Tests are very difficult, but you will walk away from his class very well informed.

Comment:

Dr. fawaz is a great professor. His tests are somewhat difficult but if you put any time into studying then you will do just fine. He also gives you so much extra credit it is almost impossible to not get an A in his class. The work seems like a lot but in reality he is just teaching you how to effectively manage your time.
