He doesn't put his lectures online so you need to go to class, but he's an amazing professor who's passionate about what he teaches which makes it exciting to learn. He does a clicker question every day to take attendance, which counts as extra credit. Gives you a study guide for every test w exactly what will be on the test. Highly recommend him!
He's and excellent professor. He's one of the only ones I've had that makes me enjoy going to class because his teaching methods are entertaining and easy to follow. His test are easy and the class is overall pretty easy because he makes you want to pay attention!
Adam is a great professor. He makes it easy to learn IF you attend his lectures. Attendance was not required but he gives extra credit if you attend. The exams are what you expect for the level of the course. But the quizzes are easy since you get three attempts. No papers to write and no group work!!!
Adam is an amazing professor; I looked forward to going to lecture every day. He doesn't put slides online so you have to go to class, but he makes lecture outlines (based on the tests) so you know exactly what take notes on. Also does in-class extra credit often. Easy online quizzes, can take 3 times. Makes study guides of exact test! RECOMMEND!!
Honestly the best professor I've had in college- Adam is such an amazing professor and always wants to see his students succeed. His lectures are VERY interesting too, so I look forward to going to class. After our last lecture last week, he had a number of kids waiting to shake his hand and thank him for being such a great professor, GREAT!!
I've had Mr. Laz since high school and he has always been a fantastic professor. His lectures are helpful and his tests are fairly easy if you show up to class. He relates the material to students very well and he is always available for questions. Overall an easy course if you show up to class.
By far the one of the best professors I've had at the UA freshman year. He makes the class fun, and gives extra credit mid-semester. Tests aren't too hard if you take notes and go through the quiz questions. The quizzes you can take 3 times and he'll take the best grade. No group projects or papers. You get your grades back quickly. Funny guy.
Professor Laz is really caring and helpful! Although his class wasn't too easy it makes lectures fun and interesting. He makes you want to go to class to learn! If you have any question feel free to ask him he is very approachable and cares about his students! I would recommend him!
He is helpful, interesting, and engaging!
He is amazing. I am taking another class of his and it is the same structure. Super friendly, easy and lots of extra credit.
Hands down the best professor I've had at U of A so far. He is a great lecturer and makes them interesting and funny. Attendance isn't mandatory but definitely recommended. He gives you outlines of whats important in his lectures and what will be on the exams. Definitely recommend this class.
Definitely one of the best lecturers in the Psych department at UA. The lectures are always engaging and informative. Quizzes online before each exam, 3 tries to take each. Multiple choice tests, doesn't try to trick you. Overall, the information is presented well, I feel like I've learned a lot. Definitely love the class. Textbook not necessary!
A very good professor. He is clear and to the point. Cares for the students and if I had the chance, I would definitely retake the course. He loves what he teaches and is good at it. Unlike my other instructors he responds very quickly to all of my emails!
Mr. Laz is the BEST. My favorite teacher in all four years of college. The only time I really needed to use the book was when I missed class, but he makes the lectures so great you actually won't want to ditch. I liked him so much I took three of his classes - actions speak louder than words.
Laz is an amazing professor! He makes lectures so interesting and I always want to go just to hear him talk about the subject because it's clear he is extremely passionate about it. The class is interactive, fun, and very interesting. If you need a 150 I highly recommend this course and wish I could take the class again.
Awesome, hilarious, respectful professor. I feel like this class should be mandatory to take in every major because it relates to every individual and will teach you about why people behave the way they do. It will make you aware of many crucial and relevant concepts that you can apply to almost everything in life. Fun and very interesting class.
I don't know if I've ever had a better professor than this man! He is comedy, and the dude knows what he's talking about, great person. I will take him again.
One of the best professors at UA hands down. He makes lectures engaging and funny, but still insightful and clear. I hope to take another one of his classes.
Just show up and take good notes and the class should be easy for you. He gives plenty of extra credit. The quizzes and exams aren't difficult if you showed up to class. Lectures will make you laugh at times and you will learn. I only had one lecture where I felt it ran a bit long. At the end of the day he is one of the best instructors.
Mr. Lazarewicz is by far one of the best teachers I've had at the UofA! He is so passionate about what he is teaching and makes the lectures so engaging. Lots of extra credit, so attend class, take notes and you will do well on the quizzes and exams. Everyone should take a class from this teacher!
One of the best classes I have ever taken. You don't really have to go to the lecture because he does not take attendance, but he gives extra credit randomly with clickers which really helps your grade. Homework is easy and midterms are easy if you study a little bit and pay attention when you go to class.
Great teacher! You can tell that he loves what he does. Definitely, by far my favorite class at the U of A. Go to class and take notes. Doesn't post his lectures. Gives good study guides, and is very nice and funny. Gives extra credit every now and then. Online textbook.
One of the best professors! His lectures are interesting and not a bore. He gives a ton of ext credit if you go to class. You'll get an easy A if you just show up to lectures and write down everything in his powerpoints. I never opened the book the entire semester.
Professor Lazarewicz is an awesome instructor. You can tell he is passionate and extremely knowledgable about the information. He allows you to ask questions during class and gives extra credit regularly. The tests definitely require you to study; however, he provides study guides online which include everything that will be on the test.
Such an easy class. Just go to lecture, read the text and review often. You might pass with a B if you just read the textbook and review the study guides. He is super good at answering questions during class. Takes forever to answer his emails. Sometimes gives extensions cuz tech probs but don't count on it! Online homework is a pain. Fun class
My only regret was missing class more than once. By far the best professor I've had at the U of A. Makes his lectures fun and engaging. You can make it by without the book, but it is helpful. Tests are based off quizzes so if you can answer them, you're set. Highly recommend.
Best PSY professor at the U. Lectures are extremely interesting and engaging. Don't miss class, you'll regret missing out. Easy as long as you attend class and study the quizzes. Don't necessarily need the book to get an A, but it has great information in it. He was very respectful of students and seems like an all around great guy. Highly recommen
Great teacher. very clear, if you go to class you will learn everything in his lectures. HW is assigned, but always due before a major exam. 4 exams. Very helpful.
This was his first time teaching stats, but it was my second time taking it. This class was so much easier than previous professors. Don't get the book, he uses "Mystatslab" which has a free online copy. I rarely looked at it. He is really good at explaining things in many ways. Caters to students and makes more office hours for us. Very helpful.
I LOVE LAZ! An "A" is easy to achieve. He requires you to participate in psychology experiments... Easy. But if you go beyond it, you get extra credit points. He keeps things very ENGAGING. Also attendance doesn't matter, as long as you get notes from another student. Tests are kind of fun... Overall, I love him as a person and as a professor!!
Adam Lazarewicz is awesome! He is so funny and the most captivating professor. He is hilarious and makes the material fun! TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Professor Lazarewicz is so passionate about what he teaches and his TAs are not hard graders! The reading assessment and quizzes are not hard, his "note outlines" help a lot when studying for the exam, and he offers extra credit through clicker points and when you attend more "psych experiments." Would take again because it's an easy A!
Adam is a great teacher and a great guy. You learn a lot and it's an easy A, what more could you ask for? Gives extra credit clicker points some classes which allows you to get nearly 100% even if you don't ace every exam. Take him.
Second class with Laz. I really loved this prof. His lectures were exciting, he's energetic about content, he gives extra credit for attendance, and he's not out to destroy you with work, which I truly believe is a much better learning environment for those who actually care. Don't bother with the book. I definitely recommend him!
Took this for gen ed. He gave a lot of extra credits especially clickers one. Only needed 9% on the final to have an A in the class. Got two A's and one B on the 3 exams. As long as you have enough extra credit (I had 11), you will pass.
This was my second time in a year taking a class with Mr. Laz and I can honestly say he is my favorite teacher in the PSY dept. His classes are always clear, inspirational, and knowledgeable. As long as you go to class take notes, study the notes with the study guides he gives you will do fine! The only hard part is the final as its cumulative.
His lectures are very funny, but you still learn a lot. The tests are a little difficult, but aren't worth a ton of points so don't stress about them. Do the extra credit and get above a C on all the tests (also do the online homework, super easy) and you will get an A. Don't need to go to lectures but extra credit is sometimes given on clickers
Prof. Laz is absolutely wonderful. Not only does he care about his students, but he is also extremely passionate about the material and tries to make lectures as interesting and enjoyable as possible. There were only a few assignments online, 2 papers, and 3 exams. Overall, great class and amazing professor. Highly recommend!
I can't say enough good things about Professor Laz. He cares about his all of his students and does anything he can to make sure everyone in class understands the material. I've taken 3 of his classes: social psych, personality psych, and psychological statistics. He makes any difficult material so easy to understand. He's by far my favorite prof.
I've taken a lot of psychology classes at U of A, and Prof. Laz is definitely the best teacher in the department... and even one of the best at the university. Take any and all of his classes if possible- they're all great. His classes will be some of the few courses in college that you will remember for many years (and even decades) to come.
Show up to every class, get the clicker extra credit, pay attention to the lecture and if you understand the lectures you don't have to read the book at all. MAKE SURE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RESEARCH-- it's easy points! Lots of extra credit available. The content is interesting! Take this class!
This teacher is amazing. I hated psychology in HS and I have been so intrigued by this class I have almost been influenced to switch my major. Lazarewicz's presentation of the information through lectures is funny and engaging. The course work is through an online book, is mostly participation credit and is done on your own time. Fun and easy A.
Awesome professor. Gives awesome, interesting lectures.
Great man, keeps lectures interesting, and really interesting material
Go to class. Go to office hours. Stay on top of learnsmart assignments and quizzes.. SERIOUSLY DO THEM ASAP. Everything else is pretty simple. Fill out the study guides, the exams are super easy, just study and go to the review sessions!
You will not regret this class! Every lecture I enjoyed attending and you learn so many cool things about personality. Quizzes and LearnSmart assignments are easy if you go to class and follow the outlines he provides. 10 points extra credit! Writing assignments can be long but T.A's are very lenient. Tests are mostly multiple choice which are easy
Professor Laz has been my favorite professor in my college career. His lectures are always easy to follow, and he utilizes lecture notes that you just fill in; they make it super easy to study. He's extremely open to feedback and super kind. While lectures aren't mandatory, he offers clicker participation points!
Adam is awesome. Gives clicker questions so you should always go to class. Waking up for his morning class was not hard because you always wanna be there. Great environment and very very little homework. DO YOUR CASE STUDIES EARLY! Go to the review sessions if possible. Tests are on Examity. Easy A if you do it right.
Personality psych with Dr. Lazarewicz was my favorite course this semester! He is a very talented lecturer and passionate about the subject, which made the class enjoyable. You have to attend lecture (or find a friend who will) because he does not post his notes online. TAKE IT! Offers extra credit and tests are easy.
Adam is a great professor! He has a very likable lecturing style and seems quite knowledgable and passionate about psychology. The exams, papers, and assignments were pretty easy for me. I'd say I skipped almost half of the lectures and still got an A in the class. Overall, I would recommend!
I loved his lectures, personally. Psych can be extremely interesting and he really emphasizes this and it shows in his lectures. He is passionate when he teachers, funny, & if you didn't want to go to class you wouldn't have to. I recommend taking your own notes on the chapters. DO THE STUDY GUIDES (flashcards) and you will get As on the test.
Professor Lazarewicz is my favorite college professor yet. His lectures are extremely interesting, and you will learn a lot. Go to class because he gives bonus points and all the material on tests is covered by him! You'll have to read the book too, but when studying you only need to focus on what he goes over. Super easy, entertaining class :)
Professor Adam is one of the best! Lectures are not mandatory, but he does offer extra credit if attend. The tests are not too bad, although you do use Examity. Adam's preceptors hold review sessions which are very helpful. I would definitely recommend Adam to everyone because he is very passionate about PSY and the lectures are funny/interesting!
I love this professor. Oh man, he's awesome. Not a difficult class. I did very well on the tests because I enjoyed studying the material. Fascinating course and I give credit to this professor. Taking 2 more of his classes this upcoming semester. Take this class/ this professor!!!!
I love this man so much. This was his first time teaching Psychology of Terrorism, and it was a very interesting class! You have 4 exams + a final + 4 response papers and chapter quizzes + a research paper. It sounds like a lot but Laz makes everything a breeze. It's super easy if you just go to class. He's hilarious, and everyone loves him!!
Adam is so charismatic and swag . I can see his passion for teaching from his eyes. every time i attend his class, i start to see a different side of humanity from his teaching. He explains psychology so well in details. His class always make me doubt what human is. Thanks man, keep the great work
Psychology of Terrorism is my 3rd class with Laz, he's the best professor I've had, and this was the first semester 368 was taught regularly, so we were guinea pigs. He was a little disorganized/late in grading which was annoying at times. Lectures weren't as fun as 352 and 360, the class wasn't entirely what I expected, but still was easy.
genuinely enjoyed attending the lectures. The subject matter was beyond fascinating and something I'd never truly thought about. "Psychology of Terrorism" sounds intimidating but I promise you won't regret taking it with him! The assignments and tests were relatively easy, just one long research paper (6-7 pages). Overall would recommend
Adam is one of the best professors I've had. He is so passionate about what he is teaching, and it shows. He makes material interesting and memorable. 4 exams, 3 writing assignments, and 19 chapter outline assignments. It seems like a lot, but completely doable. I wish I would have known about him sooner, I would have taken more classes with him.
Adam is such a great professor, I loved his personality psychology class. Not only is it interesting, but he's very passionate about it and makes it better. Be wary though of skipping class, he doesn't post the lectures online, and DON'T BE THAT PERSON who emails the whole class asking for notes. Guaranteed you won't get them.
his lectures are awesome!!! he makes it very clear what will be on the exams. His exams are tough but if you understand the material you'll be fine. He has a quiz and reading for every chapter, 3 essays due based on the material and a total of 3 exams with a final. It sounds like a lo of work but he makes it very easy... consider taking his class.
His lectures are ones to never forget. He is very passionate about teaching this course. He is one of the best, he keeps it interesting, likes begin given feedback or new outsider information. Easy Midterms, hands out extra credit during lectures, gives you outlines, super easy writing assignments. Do the learn smart assignments in advance!!
Makes you want to become a psych major. He is so passionate about psychology. Every lecture was interesting & the way he taught made it all easy to understand. Kind & mindful of the 300+ students in class. Take him for psych no matter what. HW is online, and while it can be tedious it will help with the memorization in the long run, esp. with tests
Laz made psych so interesting and his passion for the subject was contagious. If you show up to class and pay attention (which isn't hard as he is so interesting and hilarious) then homework and quizzes will be a breeze! There are a couple papers but they are so easy and like a page long! Don't take psych at UA with anyone but Laz!!
Adam is sooo passionate about what he teaches, he truly is an amazing teacher and he makes going to class so fun! He makes this course very understandable and the exams arn't hard if you memorize the study guide!
Awesome!
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR! 10/10 would recommend. His lectures are so good and he really knows what he is talking about and it good at answering questions. I always look forward to this class.
ADAM IS THE GREATEST PROFESSOR EVER! Seriously, take this class. He is caring, engaging and hilarious. He assigns homework per chapter, but they are all very easy, plus you have till the test to complete them. The tests are straight forward and based off topics gone over in class. He makes the class interesting and fun. best class I've ever taken.
If youre interested in psychology i highly suggest taking his class, his lectures are always interesting and hes a fun teacher, you do take a lot of notes and there is a lot of homework but hes a great teacher.
Laz is a super awesome professor, he's definitely one of my favorite professors I've had. He doesn't post his lectures online so you have to attend class to get the notes. But, his lectures are awesome, they're not boring because he keeps you engaged with material by asking for volunteers, joking around and showing examples. 11/10 would recommend
Great professor, I would definitely take again. If you need help, he will help with what he can.
Amazing professor who is always willing to help you when you need it. He's very passionate about the material and has an awesome sense of humor too. He does not post his notes/powerpoint slides online, so attendance is a must if you want to do well in the class. He also occasionally does participation clicker questions for extra credit.
Lazarewicz is one of the kindest professors I have ever had. He cares about his students, and his passion for teaching psychology is truly transmitted. The class is easy, and consists of book assignments, quizzes, easy essays with exact guidelines, and the final exam. Gives random extra credit for showing up. Super interesting class! Def take him
A lot of HW, offers extra credit. Exams and writing assignments are pretty easy. Mindtap quizzes are really difficult.
My fav psy professors! He is always super clear about grading and is always willing to help. I found that reading the textbook is super helpful-really read it. Going to class is a great way to get the main ideas/points of the chapters and get extra credit (from clicker participation).
The TAs grade the student work, but he gives great lectures, is very accessible, and gives you all the opportunity to succeed in his class.
Professor Lazarewicz was hands down THE BEST. He really loves his job and he loves what he teachers. He is super involved into the topic and knows how to elaborate his interests. He is super understanding and I would definitely recommend him.
LOVE LAZ!!! One of the most popular profs on campus. Lectures are optional but he's hilarious and does extra credit points for people who show up. Reading is mandatory but weekly chapter are less than 10 pages (one was 3). Chapter quizzes and reading questions are due at test day but open book, easy points. 3 papers but still, piece of cake.
I have taken several courses with Lazarewicz and they have always been a pleasure. His lectures are interesting and you can tell that he really cares about the material he is teaching. The only downside is that his final exams are usually cumulative, but other than that he is a great professor. 10/10 would recommend!
He is a GREAT professor. Attendance is not mandatory however lectures are not uploaded on d2l so you basically have to go to all classes to get notes, or read the textbook I guess. However, his lectures are so simple and makes everything easily understandable. He is great at explaining and teaching the course material.
You can tell that Adam is really interested in what he teaches. He is very passionate about psychology, especially social psychology. His class was pretty simple. Homework was done through online textbook, tests were in class. He made it really interesting and engaging.
GREAT at explaining complex material in the most simple way. class is always engaging , even though its a full hour 20 of lecture .
I LOVED his psych 150 class as a gen ed. He doesn't post the lectures online but he does post lecture outlines to be used in class. Easy to pay attention in his class and very clear about all of the information. Stops to ask if anyone has questions pretty often and is very good about finishing the class before a new topic starts that cant be finish
His lectures are lively and brilliant. Literally just show up to class and do your homework and you'll pass the exams. You can tell he loves his job and really knows what he's talking about. He also sounds like Hank Green from Crash Course, which is an added bonus. He is such a cool guy, definitely recommend taking one of his classes.
Attendance is extra credit; this class is so easy and theres only a few tests. He has complete lecture outlines and study guides to make studying easier too!
I really enjoy this class! Lazarewicz is an amazing professor and his lectures are very interesting! Lectures are not mandatory and no attendance is taken but it is very essential to go to class and get the information he talks about. The class is not difficult as long as you actually do the homework and study for the tests!!!
This has to be my favorite class so far. The teacher is so engaging and funny and he knows what he is talking about. He explains topics so clearly and gives you plenty of time to take notes (not like the rude ones that go way too fast). He is the best best best but also I know attendance is not mandatory but go because his lectures are the tests.
My favorite class this semester. He makes what we learn interesting and I actually get excited to wake up for this class. DO study for exams because it can be a lot of info, but very easily manageable. The papers are fun to write, and everything we do I enjoy a lot.
Laz is truly one of the best professors I'v ever had. An A is nearly guaranteed if you simply show up to class and take notes. His lectures are incredibly clear, laidback, and easy to follow. He clearly cares about your success. I had two classes with him and am not exaggerating when I say I wish I could have him every semester. Take his classes!
Laz is such a great guy and truly loves what he is teaching. He is really good at timing his lectures to make sure everyone is ready. The class is super easy as long as you're willing to study for like 2 hours before the exam. Study guides clearly lay out what's on exams and its honestly really hard to get below a B
Best Psych teacher I've ever had. He makes lectures interesting and teaches exactly what will be on the tests. Easy A if you go to class and take good notes.
Attendance isn't mandatory, but gives extra points through clickers. Always wants students to succeed, I went to his office hours when ever I had a big assignment coming up and always got an A on those assignments. Exams are open note, open book and way easier than the homework.
Even though you don't have to show up, there are random days when you get extra credit for attendance. Plus, lectures are usually entertaining and helpful. As long as you put in effort, you should do okay. The tests can be hard though so study!
BEST PROFESSOR AT THE UA.
Prof. Laz is an awesome professor! He makes all of his lectures interesting and engaging. He offers extra credit by using clickers. He definitely cares about his students' success, and he teaches just what will come on the exams. If you enjoy psychology and are ok with taking notes, definitely take his class!
One of my favorite professors so far at UA. Hes very passionate about the subject and makes it interesting. I rarely went to class but I did the study guides and always got As on the midterms. Also the papers are so easy and will take you less than an hour if you just do them exactly how the outline is.
BEST PROFESSOR. attendance not mandatory (recom. bc he gives extra credit clicker questions), very clear grading criteria, do the homework & pass the exams (easy A), a teacher who truly cares & gets back to you ASAP, took 2 classes with him this past year & already signed up for another, OPEN NOTE/OPEN BOOK EXAMS!!! (literally so easy if you try)
ALL TIME BEST PROFESSOR. if you are lucky to have him, TAKE HIM. takes time in lecture (makes sure you have time to take the notes), clear grading criteria (do what it says, easy A), kind & respectable (truly a 10/10 human),attendance NOT mandatory (but recommended bc extra credit clicker Qs), honestly my favorite professor ever for so many reasons
Professor is super nice but the entire class is taken up by the lecture and they get very boring. This class is way too much effort for a gen ed, the online homework takes forever. The essays are super easy however and do outline everything. Tests can be challenging, there are study guides but they are very long and vague.
Easy class. Good teacher. If you pay attention and use logic, the class will be fine. I never missed more than a half a point on each of his midterms. The homework is unnecessarily long (which is why he gets 4, not a 5), but as long as it's done, you get full points. Do it. Easy points! I ended up needing a 0 on the final to keep my A.
One of best professor I have ever seen, super helpful
Highly engaging lecturer, and extremely approachable. The subject matter is fascinating; he teaches a Psychology of Terrorism course that I would recommend to any major.
This is probably a great class for people who love psychology, but apparently I am not one of those people. The lectures were soooo boring, but I had to attend because he does not post the slides. THERE IS SO MUCH HOMEWORK. YES THIS CLASS IS SUPER EASY, BUT IT IS TIME CONSUMING! There are much easier gen eds. Unless psych is your passion I guess.
although attendance wasn't mandatory, he would give you extra credit for showing up. Easy B, even an Easy A as long as you study for the tests. He is a great teacher who is very approachable during office hours.
Professor Lazarewicz is such an amazing professor! His lectures are so engaging and I would 1000% take his class again!
He is such an awesome professor, he was super helpful! Show up to class, we often got let out 5-15 minutes early and he gives extra credit for showing up. His psychology of terrorism class was very engaging and an easy A. He doesn't believe in word count or pages for essays and they were your opinion with one research paper.
Laz is an amazing lecturer, I had this class at 9:30 in the morning and actually enjoyed goingtbh his voice is super calming in the morning. Go to class and listen, maybe take a few notes, and you'll get an A. His tests are superrr easyhe covers all the material in class which is why you should actually go. Great dude, easy class.
Show up to lectures and take good notes/ take pictures of his slides he does not post lectures online so if you miss a class you'll have to email him or get them from someone in class. Lots of extra credit opportunities. His rubrics are very clear and basically walk you through the entire paper (you have 4 "written assignments"). Great professor.
He is one of the best professors by far! He is passionate and makes his lectures engaging! He reminds you of upcoming due dates every class and always answers questions. He does not post lecture slides so make a friend which should not be hard in the 500 lecture class. Extra credit with clickers. Interesting class as well.
So far Adam has been my favorite professor, and I would definitely take one of his courses again. His lectures are very interesting, funny, and engaging, and he's very clear about what will be on exams and what he thinks we need to know. attendance isn't mandatory, but I recommend going because he doesn't post lecture slides.
Very easy to learn material. Good class to take as a freshmen course.
LOVE HIM. He has amazing lectures, and he is so easy to listen to. I have learned so much in his classes! He is one of my favorite professors for sure!
Professor Lazarewicz is a great professor. He's hilarious and his assignments aren't too bad. There is online homework and a couple of writing assignments, but he guides you through all of it. Lectures can get a little boring sometimes, but attendance isn't mandatory. Just make sure you know the missed material for the exams and you'll be fine!
Professor Laz is a FANTASTIC lecturer! He makes sure that the room full of 500 people is engaged and gives plenty of time for notes and questions. The requirements for the class are clear from the beginning and there are many opportunities for extra credit.
TAKE HIS CLASS!!! It's relatively writing intensive, but he gives creative prompts that let you run wild. I would say I did more work in this class than most of my other ones, but I would also say I learned the most and looked forward to this class the most. Great lecturer. Very captivating and passionate speaker.
100% would take this class again if I could. Professor Lazarewicz has been my favorite so far at the U of A. He is so kind and makes class actually enjoyable. Atrnendace isnt mandatory but like I said its fun so I never missed and theres pop up extra credit so I got around 18 extra credit points all because of going! Overall, i highly recommend
The best professor I ever had. Allows students to ask so many questions. He is very caring as a professor and can understand some of the problems students go through. He explains the content of the course really well and I am very grateful to have had him as my professor.
Lazarewicz is quirky professor who is able to engage his students and makes his class very interesting. He allows time for plenty of questions and is a very understanding. There are homeworks before each test, 4 writing assignments that are not hard, and plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Loved having him as a professor!
Professor Las is such a great person! He is always willing to help. Also gives extra credit. 4 papers but all very easy. Quizzes and Hw's are open note. The only thing is Exams are tough and he often adds questions you would only know if you go to lecture (he also doesn't post his lecture slides). Would def take again.
The most amazing professor Ive had. He cares very much for his students and tries to make sure everyone has their lecture notes written. He also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities during class. Theres only three papers and they are usually interesting prompts.
Professor Laz was great teacher, there are 4 papers that are super easy if you go by the rubric. The lectures sometimes can get boring and he takes a really long time to answer emails (understandable since he has 400 other students) The homework and quizzes are open note and the exams can be a bit challenging. You're good as long as you study!
This class was so much fun, and I love every minute of it. The textbook was so long, so I generally just skimmed it, and used the study guide to study. Dr. Las was a really cool guy, who really cared about our learning. He always did whatever he could to make us feel comfortable. Random attendance checks yielded lots of attendance points.
the best
Professor Lazarewicz really goes above and beyond for his students. He cares so much about making sure that everyone, even the slowest person in the class understands. He offers daily extra credit just for showing up and is always super lenient if conflicts arise. Take his classes if you ever get the chance!
I LOVE Professor Lazarewicz! He is always so considerate and clear about what he wants for each assignment. Tons of easy extra credit opportunities. He is very approachable and really wants everyone to succeed in his class. He always reminds the class about upcoming due dates through email and in person. His lectures are very to the point.
Easy to pass this class. Homeworks are harder than tests/quizzes but all answers can be found on Chegg. Quizes and Exams are open book and all found on Quizlit/Chegg/StudyBlue/Google.. Understandable teacher in-class and makes materials so much better to understand than the textbook
SUCH AN AMAZING PROFESSOR. He was super lenient and very clear on what needed to be done. You will have to pay for mindtap but other than that there is not really a textbook. The homework is the hardest part of the class but he gives a lot of extra credit. If you do the work it's pretty easy to get an A! He always replies to emails very quick.
One of my favorite teachers I have ever had! I enjoyed being in this class and I learned a lot. Its interesting material.
Laz was a great professor! His lectures were super interesting, grading criteria was clear, and tests were were pretty easy as long as you followed along with the lecture outlines. He uses clickers for attendance. But great and would 100% take again.
Prof Laz is one of the fairest teachers Ive ever had! He responds quickly to questions and is very energetic about what he is teaching. I will 100% take a class from him again!
Professor Laz's lectures were amazing! I would recommend this gen-ed because it was interesting and had a reasonable workload. There are clicker questions during most lectures that count for extra-credit. This was definitely one of my favorite classes.
A great guy and a great prof! He really takes the time to explain different concepts and made time to speak with students. His class made me want to switch my major to psych. Amazing is an understatement and the class is not stressful at all. He really gives you a lot of resources to succeed! Interesting class, great prof, and a bunch of ec as well
Great teacher! He structures the class for people to be successful! Very hard not to do well as tests are open book, open note, open "google"--just no talking to anyone. There are constant extra credit opportunites.
professor Laz is by far my favorite professor I have had in college so far. You can tell he is really passionate about what he teaches and he does not make it boring. There is a lot of little things he grades that it you do not do well on exams it will not till your grade. Occasionally does clicker questions for extra credit.
Prof. Laz is super good! I'm taking this class right now for a gen-ed and since everything is online Prof Laz really makes the class easy to navigate and he is always available via email and super helpful and the class is actually pretty interesting and easy to navigate through! I strongly recommend the study guides for the exams -hint hint !
I really enjoy this class so far and it's really interesting even with online lectures. His study guides are true to the tests so just follow those and watch the PowerPoints (which are really good btw) and you'll get an A on the exams. Just be careful on the papers because they can be graded a little harsh but there's so much EC offered.
Never seen this man a day in my life. He sends check ins to make sure you know what to work on because the course load is heavy!! 14 mindtap chapter homework along with 14 quizzes based on the homework. His regular chapters along with 3 midterms and a final, and 4 essays which are kind of short. I found it easy but allot of students struggled.
Professor Laz is a great guy! I recommend taking this class if you are looking for an easy gen ed. His lectures are interesting, however there is a lot of reading for the textbook. It is manageable though. There are many opportunities for extra credit! He doesn't require attendance. He records lectures and uploads them. Overall, great guy!
I forgot to add, this man is not assessible at all. Lol he glowed up and started acting different idk. Take the class if you like the suspense I guess. The grading is almost immediate except for the essays, but hey I'm good at it so I didn't really need to know I got an A on everyone of them. Be easy.
Adam is the best professor at the UA! He posted chapter ppts with audio but also held casual classes on zoom twice a week for those who wanted to join and get some more clarification on the material. Gave lots of hints on the 2 papers so that everyone could get an A and his midterms were fair and easy. His enthusiasm for stats is infectious!
Took this class during the pandemic. Had a few glitches with grading but was very understanding. Offers tons of extra credit!
Four papers assigned in this class, easy rubric and easy 100% if followed (topics to write about were fun!). Easy A, read over the powerpoints and complete the homework/quizes and you'll be fine on tests. Super nice guy, very passionate about what he teaches. 10/10
Professor Laz was my favorite professor ever! Every class is optional, and the lectures are recorded if you want to go and you miss it! There is tons of extra credit and the homework and assignments are minimal and self-explanatory! If you miss the homework, send an email or go to his office hours, he is super understanding! By far the best prof!
With COVID-19, Prof Laz is a great choice. He is super accommodating and truly cares about his students. Homework is usually on Chegg if you need guidelines and Quizzes on Quizlet. There are two written assignments which take some time so start early on those.
He made this course during COVID very bearable & accommodating! He's a super cool guy who genuinely cares about his students! He made audio Powerpoints which were concise & easy to follow up on. All HW questions were time consuming but are on Chegg & all quizzes/tests found on Quizlet. The written assignments were time consuming but manageable.
I love professor Laz! There are over 20 points of extra credit that are so easy to get! He has optional lectures and for written assignments he literally gives hints or tells you the answers! The MindTap homework can be time consuming and a bit challenging but the quizzes are really easy. Take him!!
Super laid back. Zoom lectures were optional, he explains the concepts clearly. Responds to emails quickly. All quizes/tests were open note and open book, even the final.
Great professor! Lots of extra credit. Explains things so clearly and is very accessible outside of class if you need help. Highly recommend taking this professor!
Zoom lectures were optional, each chapter was about 60 slides, three chapters per test which seems like a lot but you get like two and a half weeks to do it plus writing assignments. The study creds were kind of annoying but easy. Interesting class and an easy A for a gen-ed, also v helpful if u want to be a nursing major
PSY150 is a super easy class. There are a lot of notes, but the tests are directly from these lectures. The homework is super easy, you have three attempts, and the quizzes can be found online. I never read the textbook, just followed his lectures/powerpoints. He is very good at communicating with his students. Highly recommend this class.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. You don't have to go class and you pretty much work at your own pace. I've gotten an A on every paper, and if you just stay on top of your work you will finish with an A. His recorded lectures are SO interesting to listen to, and his lectures are paired with his powerpoints so you take your notes at your own pace. 100/10
Prof. Lazarewicz is honestly really down to earth, super clear and straightforward with all the assignments. He makes class very interesting, so it's easy for things to actually stick. Either watch his lectures or read his powerpoint slides and take very good notes and you'll get an A in his class while actually enjoying the content.
This class is super easy! I would say to show up to class (live zoom) and take notes and he basically goes over textbook material, so reading the textbook is like a review (in depth). He is very funny and chill and only has one homework assignment a week. First exam was cake and he grades fairly! Definitely recommend him anyday! :)
Really great guy, focused on helping students > hard coursework, homework is easy and emphasizes open notes quizzes, helpful and very clear, slow and focuses on students understanding the topic rather than moving quickly. Take this class if you hate stats and math, you won't hate this one.
Dr. Laz is a REAL gem in the University of Arizona Psych Dept. He's very passionate and dedicated. He cares A LOT about his students' success. His lectures are phenomenal. He has a gift for teaching. He puts A LOT of work into making the class accessible whether you're a working parent studying part-time or a full-time student. No regrets.
Wonderful class! I thought psychology of terrorism would be sad and heavy, but it's so cool and full off pertinent social psych. Prof Laz is a good teacher, great selections as examples and super relatable. I'd definitely take more of his classes.
Professor Laz is the nicest guy and truly cares about the well-being of his students. He understands the difficulties with online learning and even offered to reopen some quizzes if we were not happy with our grade. He offered "casual classes" that were laid back and attendance was not mandatory. I would totally recommend taking this class!
Professor Laz is great! I took Psychology of Terrorism. I thought it would be a drag, but it was my favorite class of the semester. He's passionate about the subject of social psychology, he's funny, and he treats us like adults with all the responsibilities and problems that includes. If you reach out with a problem, he will respond kindly.
There are so many things I loved about taking this class with Professor Laz! He was really caring and made sure we had a clear understanding of the material. The class was super flexible so you could attend optional classes or learn at your own pace, and it was always very clear about what we needed to do each week. He made me really enjoy stats.
Professor Laz was a sweet guy who seemed like he wanted the best for his students. The class wasnt too hard if you went to the lectures or read the textbook. The course was made up of 2 writing assignments, homework and quiz for each chapter, and the exams, all of which he helped us with. Great class!
Professor Laz is the best professor I have had at U of A. Took the class during the covid pandemic so it was online but the zoom classes were optional and he always recorded and posted them later. We had 4 papers and a research paper as well as 4 exams and 12 quizzes. Despite that seeming like alot it was not bad I got As on most. TAKE THIS CLASS!
very laid back professor and class, attendance not mandatory at all. two essays and four exams. weekly assignments and quizzes but not too long. overall an easy stats class!
Professor Lazarewicz does an excellent job with this class. Different than some others you will take and definitely worth the time. Lots to learn and interesting details. Well paced and reasonable balance of reading/writing/quizzes with opportunity for extra credit and in discussions. Definitely take it.
Homework is fairly light and the lectures are usually entertaining so going to class isnt a pain. Missing class wont hurt you as long as you skim the material they went over. Very clear about exams and the study guides help a lot! Overall pretty easy class would recommend
absolutely love professor laz. you can tell he is extremely passionate about the field of psychology and makes it interesting to learn about. this class is lecture heavy but everything we talk about is in the online textbook. there are weekly assignments and quizzes for each chapter. as well as 2 papers and about 4 exams. HIGHLY recommend him!
Amazing professor! Would love to have him again
THIS MAN NEEDS A RAISE he actually cares about his students and is understanding of the challenges that hinder learning. He is easy to approach &structures the class to actually help you succeed. He is always energetic & upbeat in class. he deserves all awards and recognition! take his class, trust me! the content might be challenging but he helps!
Professor Adam Laz is a professor that truly cares about his students. He cares about being fair to his students and for them to truly understand the topics. I took this class for my stats requirement and although I'm awful at math, his teaching system was great and helped me immensely. He is truly a rare professor! Highly recommend :)
If you have to take PSY 290, do everything to take Prof Laz he is the best professor I have had at the U of A. He actually cares if his students are learning and give extensions and amazing feedback on everything. He wants his students to get an A and he gives them the resources to do so while also having them learn. Best professor ever.
Prof Laz was the best professor I have had in a very long time. He communicates well, gives great feedback and truly cares. I loved Psychology of Terrorism and would highly recommend it with Prof Laz.
my favorite class, 100% recommend. If you pay attention and take notes the class should be easy
All quizzes, midterms, and finals were open book. He made the topics interesting and really cared about his students.
Loved taking this class at U of A. Professor Laz is very passionate about the topic so he makes the class interesting. He makes a room of hundreds of students feel like 30. He always stops to answer any questions or concerns. Little to no homework which I really appreciated!! 10/10 recommend this class!!
Professor Laz is amazing and you can tell he cares about what he's teaching. The lectures are always interesting and exams are open book/open note, including the final. He's super accommodating with deadlines and is definitely easy to contact. He also gives extra credit pretty frequently, especially when you show up to the lectures. 100% recommend!
Dr LAZ!!!!!! The best best best. If you dont go to class he has slides with voice recordings on the slide. Literally the best prof ever. I was so bad at math and stats until his explanations. If you can take a class with him definitely do it. He is amazing and sooooooo helpful. Love dr laz.
Professor Laz is an amazing teacher!!! His lectures are very interesting, and he truly cares about all of his students. Not very much homework and all exams are open note. Lots of extra credit opportunities if you attend class. FANTASTIC professor that I 100% recommend!
Professor Laz cares a lot about his students and wants to make sure they succeed. He goes out of his way to answer questions and hold review sessions for any tests he has. He will also spend the whole semester helping you prepare for the final project and makes sure you are prepared for it when it comes
Loved Prof Laz. Very fun and easy to talk to with questions/concerns. Easy to understand, classes are lecture only but are recorded and posted along with slides. 1 quiz&hw/week, 2 written assignments, 3 midterms, 1 final, and frequent extra credit (everything is open note and he's very lenient with extensions). Easy grading criteria. Def recommend.
Professor Laz is one of the nicest professors I have ever had. I highly recommend you have him as a professor. He is really caring and helpful. He is also very understanding!! Just pay attention and do the assignments and you'll get a good grade
Let the other reviews speak for him-- This guy is awesome! He is super through, very entertaining and most of all engaging. Sometimes my friends would audit this class for fun!
THIS MAN DESERVES A RAISE! He is the best professor I have taken at the UA. His lectures are amazing & he even has online power points with his voice explaining the content. There are many EC opportunities & the exams contain info from the slides. MindTap is annoying but he has no control over that. He is also very understanding and caring. :)
Professor Lazarewicz is extremely likeable, and very intelligent. He is one of the most caring professors or teachers I've ever met, and he does not grade harshly. Much of the assignments are graded by TA's who also don't grade harshly, and there is plenty of extra credit available. The readings are helpful, but not fully required (I didn't do many
Great pace, clear syllabus, challenging enough to feel engaging but as long as you pay attention you'll get a good grade. Funny and kind, will be looking out for his courses in the future
Super awesome professor! He's super nice, and the class was incredibly easy. All the tests except for the final are open note, and the assignments are easy! He gives plenty of instruction and time on the one big all-semester assignment (or research participation). Easy class and I would want to take any class with this professor again.
Super awesome professor! Class was super easy and I'd be happy to take any class taught by Professor Laz again. All of the tests except for the final are open note. The assignments are easy and the information is interesting! I'd recommend!
Super easy class! All of the tests and quizzes were open note and only 2 written papers the whole semester. Super easy grading but great lectures so you still understand the material. Definitely recommend professor Laz!
He is a great professor! Class is fun and engaging, doesnt expect late work, but its really easy! Test are online and open note. Highly recommend.
He made a difficult concept so easy. He is so caring and the best Psych stats professor ever!
Professor Lazarewicz is incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. PSY101 is great, but you pretty much do it all on your own. If you really want to learn, you have to put hours upon hours into the readings and notes.
Professor Laz was the best professor I've had at U of A. He makes the material very easy to understand and is very passionate about the subject he teaches.
Professor Laz is the best! Makes meetings very fun and will interact with students. Makes the course super fun. One chapter covered per week with a comprehension quiz. All exams are open note. Fully recommend this class!
Best psych prof at the U of A. He cares so much about students and teaches the material so clearly. SOOO much extra credit opps (in class but can do on D2L) and he is very flexible with student lives. He understands we have other stuff going on, so he makes it easy. Homework and quiz every week that genuinely help with learning the concept!
He is such a nice professor and very understanding. He takes his time to make the material super clear and easy to understand. If you have to take stats I highly recommend taking his class. 5 easy exams 2 papers which he gives hints on and he offers lots of extra credit so getting an A is not hard at all! He is easy to contact outside of class too!
I took the honors course for this class and Prof. Laz is such a cool professor. He was very entertaining for lecture. About 6 online topics & one quiz a week - tops 1.5 hours. All 3 midterms and final are online. He is a very clear grader and is willing to accept late work if you communicate in advance. He always made sure to check in on us.
Professor Lazarewicz made psych 230 such a good experience. He is excellent at explaining, he explains thoroughly in a way that makes us students really comprehend. Overall, this is the second class I have taken with him and I recommend him as a professor 100%.
I absolutely love prof Laz. I have taken him for other courses too and he is so caring, approachable, and understanding. I took psych of terrorism, stats, and abnormal psych with him. I will literally take any class he teaches. He is the best. Ily Laz
I really recommend this class! Expect to do a weekly assignment on MindTap, along with a quiz. The assignments were straightforward as all the answers are in the reading, which would be displayed at times along with the questions. Also, expect to have an assignment with your biweekly meetings, which again were also really simple.
If I could take every psych class with Prof Laz, I would. Absolutely amazing professor and really helped me understand stats (despite being horrible at math). If you have the opportunity to take his class you've won. Also, he'll constantly offer extra credit in class so you definitely don't want to skip. Favorite professor ever.
Professor Laz is easily one of my favorite professors at the University of Arizona. He is always extremely lenient and understanding with every situation. The lectures are easy to follow and he is always open to questions at any time. The course load is always pretty heavy but he is always willing to help.
This was a flex class, so there were only 7 in person meeting, but he was great. He left weekly videos explaining the outline of class. I didn't see him a lot but he was accessible outside of class. The online course was super easy and all the tests were open book.
Professor Laz is always in a happy smiley mood when teaching and loves when kids ask him questions. He's very flexible and willing to work with any student as long as your putting in minimal effort. Class is easy as everything is open note and there is no final exam. Once you get your research credits out of the way this class should be a breeze.
Love Dr Laz. He is such a great professor. One of the best. He was really good at explaining Stats and making it easy to understand. He is very sweet and understanding of students busy lives and wants them to succeed. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
If you show up to class you are guaranteed an A, I thought i was terrible at math and nervous for statistics, however, he is the best teacher ive ever had. Just by showing up the amount of extra credit will give you a 20 point boost on your final grade, and he takes the time to cater to each student.
THE BEST! Super responsive to emails, gives extra credit, and helps on all the assignments. 10/10 TAKE HIS CLASSES!!
I took an online class with Laz my freshman year and didn't have much interaction with him, but decided to take another class with him. An absolute gem! He truly cares about his students, provides (and explains) in depth feedback on assignments, and genuinely cares about the success of his students. Show up to class and you will get an A.
Took forever to grade anything and graded kind of harshly on any papers/responses we had to do for homework. Other than that, he's a nice person and he has interesting lectures.
I love Prof Laz! He always offers extra credit and breaks down concepts so they are easy to digest. There is not a ton of homework but enough to keep you busy. It's a low stress class where you are sure to succeed. If you are struggling, talk to him he is so helpful. I would love to take more of his classes.
Professor Liz is the best! he is a a great teacher and does a great job teaching the class. Offers extra credit almost every class and explains and breaks down content every single time. If you ever need help definitely reach out bc he will help right away. 4 midterms and quiz every chapter but so easy. All work is online. Attendance is mandatory
Easy Gen Ed, thoroughly enjoyed his class. It was super interesting and tests were directly reflective to what we were taught in class/textbook.
He's hands down one of the most giving professors I have ever had. He's always in a bright and bubbly mood when presenting his lectures as well constantly looked to help my class if it was needed. He is hands down the best psychology teacher and is one of the best professors that I have ever had.
Dr. Laz is amazing. He's funny and engaging and always is there as a resource for anyone who needs help. PSY101 was easy and was hybrid (only had one in-person class every 2 weeks). Beware that you must participate in a certain amount of studies for the psychology department (counts as 10% of grade), but he constantly reminds you and updates you.
Took honors psych 101 with Prof. Laz, and it was really interesting but so much homework. You learn A LOT but it's very time consuming. Midterms and homework are open-note.
He is the best professor. I have taken 2 classes with him so far and he has been a delight. He understands you and your problems very well and is always willing to give second chances.
Super passionate lectures! He has interesting and understandable demonstrations with slideshows, and he responds to emails in a timely manner. I love Prof. Laz!
Professor Laz is amazing! I am currently taking his Psychology of Terrorism course and just signed up for his PSY230 class. Attendance is taken for each class but I genuinely enjoy attending because you can tell he loves what he does. Makes lectures interesting and grades fairly. Extremely understanding guy. Definitely a must take course!
Professor Laz is easily the best professor I've had at this University, he cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. He's very open to questions and helping you when you need a little extra time. The online work is easy as long as you pay attention in class. 10/10 recommend getting him if you can.
This was a great first psych class to take as a psych major. I saw that I have this professor again next semester and I couldn't be happier. If you're not a psych major and just need your social science credit, I absolutely suggest this class. It was easy, interesting and fun. I chose to read the whole textbook but you don't really have to :)
Professor Laz is amazing. He cares a lot about his students and the material he is teaching, and goes out of his way to ensure his students succeed. He encourages participation and makes his class content really engaging. Take his class! You will not regret it and he will make you want to learn.
Truly one of my favorite professors and classes I've had during my time in college! Would highly suggest taking PSY 368 with Professor Laz!
He's an awesome teacher! I had his hybrid class and everything is online. He gave online weekly work, which there isn't too much of and it's pretty easy, and class every other week where he would teach a lesson and we would have a week to complete the assignment that goes with it. He doesn't reply to emails at all but has office hours.
If you get Prof Laz for a class consider yourself the luckiest psych student. Psy of Terrorism was my third class with him and as usual, great class. Weekly discussion posts + quizzes (easy, 30 min to do 10 multiple choice), readings, and 3 essays + one project. Exam are open everything, 20 multiple choice + 2 short answer questions. Take it!!!
Take this class if you want an easy gen ed! This teacher is also a great guy, which is a nice plus.
Super easy class! Homework assignments have 3 chances to redo so it's really easy to do well. Attendance is mandatory but if you do well on the homework and exams you can get away with skipping class.
You'll think, "There's no way this professor can be as good as everyone says he is." and then he is. Found myself wishing I could have this class every day instead of some others. Great professor. Kind dude.
Amazing professor! His lectures were detailed and very informative. He allowed us to discuss certain questions or topics with our table group which allowed for us to take a break from the lecture. He is super understanding and engaging with his students. He will go out of his way to help his students learn and get a good grade!
slayed the house down boots! i loved him. all quizzes/exams are open note and his assignment (paper) requirements always have clear grading criteria. extremely understanding and supportive of everything his students pursue.
One of the easiest and most fun courses I have taken so far. Mr. Lazarewicz made the class extremely passable with all the assignments/exams being online with tons of extra credit given.
I had Prof Laz for both PSY101 and PSY230 and I'm glad I did. I was nervous for stats because I'm not much of a math person but he made everything very clear and easy to understand in the lectures to the point where I barely had to use the textbook. Just make sure you write down formulas because google will give you nightmare versions
Love this professor! He is so accommodating and very passionate about his teachings. The material easy to understand and the lectures are light work. There are online quizzes every week and three midterms which a final at the end of the semester. There's also three written assignments. As long as you turn everything in on time, you will get an A.
The best professor I've ever had. He was incredibly understanding and excused my absences without hesitation. His passion for teaching made his lectures super engaging and memorable. He was extremely flexible with assignments and genuinely invested in his students' success. It's evident that he values and appreciates his students.
His lectures can be boring, but he tries his best to make them fun, I mean it is stats lol so what do you expect. This class was pretty easy, but the homework can be a bit challenging at times. He really cares about his students and wants you to do good. Going to class is mandatory because you get a point, but he sometime has extra credit tests too
This class was amazing. The teacher is so caring; you can tell he's passionate about the topics, and even though the lecture size was large, I still felt engaged in the class.
This was definitely one of my favorite classes all semester. Professor Laz is genuinely so caring and passionate about what he does. The course was very well organized and easy to follow. Attendance was mandatory but you get 5 free absences and he gives out lots of extra credit opportunities. I would 100% take his class again.
This was my favorite class this semester! I have taken 3 classes taught by Professor Laz, and he is truly an amazing professor. I looked forward to this class every time, and the 3 writing assignments throughout the semester were actually fun assignments and you actually learn a lot about yourself through this course.
Best professor I've ever had. He's really good at giving lectures and he explains material really well. I hated statistics in high school but he made it so much easier. He also gives a lot of extra credit which was nice. Love this guy.
I have taken two courses with Laz, and he is one of my favorite professors at UA. His classes are very lecture-heavy, but they are very engaging and he makes sure to address all questions. For 352, we had three essays, four exams, and weekly homework. He takes attendance, but he drops five absences and offers extracredit almost every week.
One of the best professors I've had. His lectures are engaging, and he's incredibly understanding. Leveraged unstuckstudy AI and the free textbook to ace this easy A-level course.
LOVE LOVE LOVE. If you are a freshman and going to take psych, take it with this professor.
Professor Laz is the best!! He made the few in person classes we had very engaging and enjoyable. He's also a very fair grader and gives a reasonable amount of work. Definitely take him as your professor if you're taking PSY 101!!
The class was hybrid, so we only met in person 7 times the whole semester. All of the midterms and final were taken home and were not worth a large part of your grade. You have to do the weekly mindtaps, which take a maximum of 30 minutes. Professor Laz is also very accommodating and willing to help you during office hours.
The most easy-going, communicative, upbeat teacher ever, and makes stats feel like the easiest subject. There's almost always extra-credit in class. Participation is a massive portion of your grade, but he will excuse any and all reasonable absence excuses. I was badly injured, and he made sure my grade wasn't tanked because of it. Best teacher.
Upbeat. Explains stats so clearly it feels easy. Always works through examples in class and answers every question. No calc tips (you don't need them). Amazing feedback. Cares about students. Attendance is major but he excuses all reasonable absences. Answers emails, or lets you know when he will. Gives extensions as needed. Best teacher ever!!
Hes a great teacher and explains everything really well! Attendance is huge but its worth it as thats where you get lots of extra credit. If youre bad at math he does a good job at explaining everything and the TAs are helpful too!
Professor Laz was amazing! It is a hybrid class, so the course work was a little heavy yet very straightforward. His lectures are short and sweet and attendance isn't required but you do get credit for showing up. There are 8 research credits at the end of the semester that are required but they're easy to do and there's no additional paper due.
Absolutely the nicest professor you will ever encounter. He explained things so well and tried to make the class as engaging and simple as possible.
Passionate professor that cares about his students. I really enjoyed his class and would recommended him to anyone!
He is a Psychology professor for a reason. He is absolutely wonderful at what he does, and I cannot recommend him strongly enough. Statistics is a tough subject for many, but he made it appear easy by the end. Take him whenever you can!
very fun class, weekly assignments but super easy i did them one day of the week and didnt have to worry the rest of the week. honestly one of the best classes ive taken, in class assignments are easy. he is super interactive and its very clear he loves what he is doing.
He is such a good professor! He made stats so easy to understand. The workload is not bad, and he makes his tests open note!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! Class attendance is credited so make sure to show up but he gives out extra credit almost every single lecture. He exams are so easy (open note) and his writing assignments are very minimal. Do not stress about this class, very easy. He loves teaching and is very funny.
I'm sorry. Even though the professor was pretty good, and attentive about most of the stuff, he was horrible at responding to stuff outside the class. I had to repeatedly ask him for a problem over email(and he took 4 weeks to responds) after me reminding him a number of times about the fact that I needed my question answered.
Best professor, he loves what he does and it shows. Very good at explaining concepts and answering questions. Very flexible and easy going when it comes to asking for extensions or accepting late work.
He is genuinely the best professor I had throughout my freshman year. He is so caring and understands if you miss an assignment. I had a trip planned when a major test was, and he opened it early for me so I didn't have to worry about it! Super funny and you can tell he loves his job.
Great professor! He is really involved, and it is obvious that he loves what he is doing. Assignments and exams are all straightforward, and lots of extra credit is offered.
He seems to pour his personality into his lectures, homework after every lecture, but they tend to take 10 minutes or less. He does want you to read the textbook, but you don't really need to.
Professor Laz has a lot of passion for what he teaches and it truly shines! His lectures are always exciting and he provides lots of opportunities for extra credit that are always engaging and relevant! He's a genuinely caring and upbeat professor who wants all of his students to succeed.
Good professor, good lectures, good course. My only gripe was the grading weight, as exams (4 worth 3% each) and projects (3 worth 4% each) mean next to nothing. What decides your grade is the busy work, mini-quizzes, and the physical attendance. If that doesn't bother you though, this is your man.
