Really awesome, tells fun stories. Really relates to students and has fun with the subjects he teaches. Lets you argue for points on the day after the test.

He is funny and interesting. I love the class and the way he teaches it.

He's a funny guy. Tells good stories and makes it fun to be in the class.

hes a good guy, but he doesnt use the book as much as he should. you really have to read on your own if you want to do well.

Very chill prof. Definitely hilarious and knows how to relate to his students.

Beauchamp is a good teacher. Someone who has their doctorate obviously knows what they are talking about. There should be more teachers like him. Makes class interesting and seems like an all-around nice guy.

Great teacher , who makes the boring field of pschology more instresting.....

Teacher is HILARIOUS. Knows great stories but that's all class is really good for. Final is the easiest test of the class.

I've taken so many classes from Al it's hard to keep track. Some of his writing assignments are very unclear, but that's to give you room to write what you want. If you opened the book and read you can pass any class with him very easily. He also allows you to argue over tests resulting in EC

Very nice and REAL guy. Doesn't let his phd go to his head like most do. Class is great when he talks about random things, I would take him not for the subject, but just because he's so cool.

I had Beauchamp for Psych of Personality and it was one of the most fun and interesting classes that I have ever taken in my 4 years at NMU. This professor is great!! Hes funny and he really knows his stuff! Dude, he's awesome!!! I got a straight A in his class!

Interesting to listen to and has a good sense of humor...very understanding when it comes to making up tests...for the term paper, basically if you do it and meet the page length requirement you get an A

He is awesome!!!I have him right now for PY 211 and he is One of the BEST Professors I have ever had at Northern. Psychology can be confusing but he makes it interesting and fun. TAKE HIM! You will love him. He really knows how to teach Psychology. He is a genius. He is also very helpful :)

OMG! he's awseome. Just stay after when he does the Tests, b/c you will get some points if you stay after.

He makes it so that you can pass it. Its boring, but you will pass with him.

He is a crazy awesome teacher, hes get off topic in lecture sometimes, but if you read and study the book then you are fine!

Had Al for a lot of classes. He is great! You can't help but love the man!

Nice guy. Willing to help out if you are willing to ask. He is really good about assignments, if you really try, you are going to do well. His tests are a bit hard, but if you study, and do the study guide, they aren't that terrible. Interesting stories, and enjoyable talks when off topic. Take this professor, he is cool.

Awesome teacher! Has his PhD and definitely knows what he's talking about but doesn't rub it in your face at all. Very liberal thinker and great sense of humor. Class does get boring at times, but if you study and take notes...you'll do fine. fair grader.

Research MEthods may not be my favorite subject but Professor Beauchamp did a great job with it. He is a wonderful teacher and I am glad that I got the chance to be in one of his classes!!

Good class, You'll learn and it's fairly easy, just what a college course should be.

His classes are usually an easy A, and he's ok entertainment value. He's not very professional, which is fun until you need something. He doesn't respond to e-mails quickly, if at all, and is hard to get ahold of even during office hours.

Cool prof. lectures, tells you what to study for exams and doesnt B.S. It's a good course, you learn a lot and it's easy, the perfect combination!!!

Kinda boring, tests are easy, nice guy

Great Prof. Tests are easy.. you just have to study, whoever complains that the tests are hard obviously doesn't belong in college if they can't take the time to study. Very interesting lectures.

very easy class. lots of extra credit. easy-going prof.

Al is a really easy going guy. You never really have to attend his class until the one class before the test-- he gives a review of everything that will be on it. Every class after the test he gives extra credit points for going to the lecture. Although his lectures seem boring, they are interesting-he has a lot of experience.

He gives a lot of extra credit, so even if you don't do as well as planned on the exams, if you get the extra points, you'll do fine. Basically he stands up there and talks while everyone is on their laptops not paying attention.

Al is a pretty cool guy!

Dr. Beauchamp was one of the funniest, wittiest, professors I have ever had. Taking his class at the age of 25 amongst a bunch of 18 year olds was really interesting. It was a psychology lesson in itself.

I took this class during the summer, and I was worried about the workload, but it wasnt bad at all. I recommend going to class, but its not required. He gives you a study guide with everything you need to know before the tests. Hes a pretty witty guy and can be entertaining at times although it is a lecture class and sometimes hard to pay attention

Extra credit galore. Would have been great if he wasn't sick for half of it (he turned it into a web class). Study hard to get your A though, his curve keeps you right at a B otherwise. His animal rights ethics are disgusting, though; he made me want to teach -him- on the subject.

Al is a great guy, and a good proffessor. Just know the concepts well for his exams which can be pretty tough.

He is a good teacher. If psychology is your major, you will find no problem with his class. He gives a lot of examples from his own experiences, which I find very helpful. If you are not willing to take responsibility for your own grade then this is not a class for you. Not a hard class, and a great teacher!

Very laid back, doesn't care if you play on laptop all hour and almost always lets class out early. gives you study guide for exams but exams are worded in confusing way.

Al Beauchamp is a really nice, laidback, and understanding guy. At first I thought he was just the burnt out version of Tommy Chong but he really knows his stuff. Come the day before the test because he reviews everything you need to study. If you study from powerpoints, you'll do well. Research paper required in this class.

his class is impossibly easy. people who are complaining of "hard tests" must not have studied. show up the class before the exam and he reads the test to you and tells you what you need to know. type up what he tells you, elaborate on it, study it, and you'll get an easy A. its impossible to get lower than a B on his tests if you have the review.

Alan Beauchamp is a great professor, like everyone has said if you just pay attention to lectures&go to class the day before the exam it's easy.He even goes over the exam the day after so if there was a ? a lot of people got wrong he will adjust everyone's score.I've taken2classes of his&never had a problem,he really knows what hes talking about

I had Alan as a Prof and an Advisor in the early 1990's and I can say, without a doubt, he was both an excellent teacher and an all around good guy. I was lucky to have him.

Awesome Teacher! I am not sure what people are complaining about. He was fair, hilarious, and really interesting. He basically tells you exactly what to study. He is a really cool nice guy. If I could I would have taken every psych class with him! An easy B or A.

He was great connecting with students and trying to treat them honestly, with great humor, and fairness. The days before tests he would literally tell you everything you'd need to know. This still meant looking up the info and knowing it but he pointed you in the right direction. He'd also give points back if you could argue a question,he is fair.

Dr Beauchamp is a hard man to get a hold of, but he is a relatively easy grader, you have five tests and if you read then your fine. start any papers early otherwise you'll be crashing at the end. But not too bad of a course for taking it online.

I took this class online. He has 5 tests with a 7-10 page paper using 10 primary literature paper's,. His tests where hard for me because they were really random. The exams are 1 hour long, and I used my textbooks, but I still had trouble finding all the answers. I ended up with a 90 in the exam. So read the textbook before you take the test.
