Professor Felton was pretty top-notch! Lecture was never boring and always looked forward to it. He made everything easy to understand and makes you laugh. There is considerably amount of work, but its reasonable. I am not going to lie he is one of favorite professors and I would take him for as many classes as I can!

Very chill and laid-back teacher. Quiz heavy but all the material was explained in lectures. Watch the lectures and you'll most likely pass.

I have mixed feelings about this class, He was nice but there were problems like not posting lectures halfway through the semester. Other thing were these two assignments that had the due date only in the syllabus. On Canvas it will say "No Due Date" which sucked cause ofc I didn't see it in my to do and it dropped me from a B to a D for a while

He's alright but I would not take again. Goes from 1hr to 3hr lectures. Gives up posting lectures. Leaves you with 50 powerpoint slides to study. Gives weekly chapter quiz with 30 questions. Grades majority of the work at the last week. 2 Assignments worth 100, does not remind you about. Tried communicating with him but does not act professional.

Professor Felton is definitely sarcastic and uses humor in his lectures. He grades tough, but there is always a clear explanation when full credit isn't given. His lectures are long, but very intriguing, he makes it very interesting. He does quiz often, however if you're doing the classwork, the quizzes are easy.

He seems to have a humorous and funny personality. BUT his lectures are so long, a lecture does not need to be 3 1/2 hours long. Most are 1-2hours. You have to listen to them bc the quizzes and tests are based on them. He rambles a solid 30min in total for each lecture. A solid teacher but does give out a ton of extra credit. What a slay!

Feels like he doesn't understand that some of us have jobs that help us survive. lacks compassion

He got more and more angry as the semester went on. Most of the information for the exams come from the textbook, but still take notes during lecture because he'll sprinkle those in. Chapter reading is what the weekly quizzes are based on, so READ!! Go to office hours, he gives you a sticker each time you go. His essays are pretty straight forward

Great instructor. Presented the necessary information in a way that was easy to understand. There was no textbook so you need to show up to class to learn the material, but you can always go to office hours if you have to miss a lecture. He IS old & cantankerous, but in an entertaining way. Don't be lazy, don't cheat, and ask questions!

Only instructor who was ever able to successfully teach me math-related concepts. Showing up for lectures is a must, but you can go to office hours if miss a class (or if you need extra help). His study guides are trash, but you can (should) use the quizzes to study. Honestly, his class isn't really difficult. Just do the work & don't cheat.

Professor Adams class is extremely hard, but it was very educational and I learned a lot. He offers extra credit and taught me if a teacher gives you extra credit always take it. His lectures have nothing to do with the test so if you take him online focus on the book, his lectures are great, but if you don't have time, just focus on your book!

To be honest, I love Adam he is the best, BUT his lectures can be all over the place and hard to keep track. He has a certain way of teaching that is definitely not for everyone.

I had a big amount of anxiety attacks I woke up from and couldnt sleep due to his class. Maybe he was having some issues during the fall term, but if you look at his ratings from that time, theyre all bad. He accuses of misconduct when you know things about psych that he didnt teach. I recommend you take this class in person, maybe its better.
