He is really an EXPERT lecture, not much to write or remember, easy to listen. VERY intersting, good lecture. He use his body language, voice tone and stuff. he is very easy in that class. not much homework. Expect you to get A in that class :) easy get A
Professor Reuss is an excellent teacher who cares about his students. I noticed that he gives respect, & in return, he recieves respect-that is the way it should be. He treats his students as adults,& makes the class very interesting and fun. Minimal notes from the book and lecture & minimal hw too!
i really liked his class... such a nice person and very helpful and understanding to his students... highly recommneded.
One word: hot!
Very tall mofo. Class is very easy and he doesnt lecture forever; just enough to get the point across. You dont really need the book, just the Meyers Briggs book. He's a cool teacher, very laid back and chill. I WOULD RECOMMEND hiim.
Great teacher... Gives great examples, very funny! Makes learning fun and easy...
I had Mr. Reuss for Intro to College, and he was awesome! He explained everything really well. I was so lost and had no clue what was going on before I took his class. He is very clear and will answer everyone's questions. He's great!
he is a very good teacher who will prepare you to take better tests. if you participate and try to have a good presentation you will pass with an A.
Gnarly teacher. totally easy. occasionally used the book. nice guy. all tests and quizes are based on lectures. i had fun.
Awesome guy, easy course. If you have the option, take his class. You do need the book, but you end up mostly just doing the Discovery/Intention Statements and a couple activities.
no comments just a very easy class, pay attention & show up.
great guy, really thoughtful and his tests were based on the notes in class. a bunch of extra credit was available and the final was pretty easy as well.
Very funny guy. You'll enjoy his class. Very easy-going also.
5 stars. This professor truly cares about every student. He wants you to succeed. Easy A if you show up to class, & consistent with your work. Participation is fun in this class. Lots of extra credit chances, TAKE ADVANTAGE! The mid-term is weird but the final is a piece of cake. Take notes, it's crucial for the tests.
Really cool teacher. The class itslef is really boring and pointless if you have half a brain, but he makes it more fun and interesting. He's really laid back and easy to approach. He's also very knowledgeable about all of the classes/resources/teachers at Mesa, so he can help you with anything. If you have any kind of intelligence, it's an easy A.
Hes a cool techer. Do good on the test and quizzes, and show up enough times for him to notice you. Pretty Easy class though1
Reuss is a cool guy. He makes a joke of course somewhat applicable to the life of a college student. He offers a lot of extra credit. Show up to class, he constantly gives pop quizzez. The main project is a 3 page paper with a 5 min presentation. Do well on the tests, quizzes and project (which are all easy), and it's an easy A. Reccommended!
I feel very comfortable in Proffessor Reuss's class. He is not the type of professor who simply stands infront of the board and lectures, but will interact with the students, and ask them what learning method is best for the student.
easy class
SO FAR THE BEST TEACHER IVE HAD IN COLLEGE....HELPED ME A LOT...AND PREPARED ME FOR THE COLLEGE LIFE......A DEFINITE 10!! ;)
Reuss is a nice guy. He gives quite a few assignments, but they are all incredibly easy. This class is not high stakes...it's meant to help students be better students. Reuss definitely helps with that!
Great Teacher really gives you a different perspective on things.Main project is a 3 page paper wiht a minimum 5 minute presentation other then that just some easy papers and the occasional journal entries check. If you want to learn how to be a better student definitely take this guy.
Professor Reuss rocked! Really nice and easy going guy. just pay attention and do the assignments and you will pass. Pretty much no stress at all. He dfinitely likes teaching and making the class something you can pay attention to. I recommend him 100%
Professor Reuss was a great professor! He cares about his students, and most of the material learned in class is helpful and relevant.
Prof. Reuss is not only a teacher, he is also a counselor. He loves students to reach out to him. He loves to help, and you enjoy his attention because he is so pleasant! Very educated man with so much knowledge to offer students. SUCH A PLEASURE
Bottom line of this class is just to show up. As long as you show up you will get an A. Presentation required to pass but pretty easy. Some tedious homework but super easy. And he is very helpful just ask if you need anything.
He's an amazing professor. I would recommend taking his class to anyone that is either just beggining college or is a returning student. Talks about subjects that are useful in day to day life. Journal entries out of the book are mandatory, but they are helpful for planning in your own life. Take his class. You won't be disappointed!
Professor Reuss is the bomb. Genuinely a good man. Understands/makes accommodations for circumstances where life gets in the way of school. personally think hes hilarious.
Prof. Reuss is really nice, his class is very easy if you comply with all the work. He is a very funny guy which makes his lectures interesting, he is also really understanding and lets you turn in late assignments only deducting a few points.
Spring PERG 120, LOVED THIS CLASS. Easy A, Great professor who actually cares about you. 2 exams (mid term and final), Pop quizzes (very easy), Journal entries (NEED BOOK), Paper and Presentation project (Important). show up and take the notes on the board you will pass the class. NOTESPassing. Gives great advice because he's a counselor.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Show up and get credit. Taking notes will help with his exams. Very easy going. Cares about his students. Also a counselor. Encouraging and motivating. Always on time. Very engaging and wants you to succeed. Show up and be ready for a great learning experience. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL (its extra credit).
Professor Reuss is very respectful of all his students and gives some great advice for you throughout the course. This class is easy as long as you show up and take notes because he will put it on the tests. He is a tough grader on essay questions/pop quiz's and will look for you to be VERY specific. I recommend taking him for personal growth.
Anthony is an amazing professor. He really cares about his students and the content you take away from the class. Teaches with such an impact on you. Tests are pretty much common sense and I really did take some important life skills from this class.
An actual class you'll enjoy going to! Awesome teacher! Learned SO much. Take this class and make sure you get the book and take notes. Fun classes. Few quizzes. Two exams (Midterm, chpt. 1-6, and Final, chpt. 7-10). One group project (manageable paper and presentation). Few responses. DO ALL THE JOURNALS. Good luck!
Anthony Reuss is the BEST counselor. He is so much help with the whole transferring process, and a great listener. If you have questions, go see him. He makes time for students and really does the best he can to help. So thankful for the time and effort he makes for students!
Amazingly passionate about teaching, tells stories when he lectures occasionally. Very caring and kind person. The material learned is very useful and interesting, so for me it was not hard at all to earn an A. To succeed in this class, take notes during lecture, participate, and review your notes because tests are almost purely lecture-based.
Professor Reuss is amazing! very interesting and useful lectures. If you don't show up to class every day you won't get an A and he makes that very clear but if you never miss a class you're guaranteed to pass. The book is required and there is lots of reading but overall he is a great professor and extremely funny! Lots of extra Credit
Professor Reuss is going to definitely be one of your best teachers if you decide to take a course with him. He is so caring towards your education and goals. PERG120 is a class you MUST take, it's an amazing course about how to become a better student, and to be honest it taught me life skills as well, because I use so much of what he taught me.
This professor, who is also a counselor is absolutely awesome. I took his class for extra units and I ended out with more knowledge then when I first walked in, He makes his classes so easy that if you aren't passing, its because you didnt show up. He gives lots of extra credit. His sarcasm and personality is just great and makes the class better

I was so happy to start my college journey in this class. Mr. Reuss is highly respectful and neutral in his speeches and attitude. To get A in class you have to: 1. Take notes (All tests are based on it) 2. Attend 3. Use a lot of opportunities for extra credit. I hope I will have more professors like Anthony Reuss.
Chooses on everyone so if you're trying to not get called on then good luck! Pop quizzes are really easy, based off of the material within the past couple of classes, Gives you 5-10 mins to study and they're like 5 -7 questions, Class helps you become a better college student, End of the year project 3 pg paper and 8-10 min presentation
The class helped me a lot with how to be prepared for college. Most of the time this class is mandatory but even if you don't need to take it, I strongly recommend it. He is a great professor and even though his class was 8:00 A.M. I always enjoyed going.
Great professor! Very passionate, very entertaining lectures. Mandatory attendance, really can affect your grade. Complete all homework assignment, accepts late work (some point deducted). He is also my counselor, he is very easy to approach and talk to about anything you need.
One of the most caring teachers ! He is great and very outgoing. The test are easy and his homework is based on reflecting in yourself.
Very cool professor! And I got along with him and his lectures were awesome too! The people in that class were extremely nice! I totally recommend taking this class.
A professor and also a counselor. Reuss is caring and understanding. Really values personal growth in students. Go to class, take notes, and pass. 2 tests that are simple with questions pertaining to how to be a good student. Lots of group activities and engaging discussions. Good luck to my introverts. Daily journal writings for extra points.
If you are hard-of-hearing or just in general, Professor Reuss is awesome. He speaks clear and loud. Also very energetic and fun. The tests are pretty laid back as long as you study for them. Definitely choose him for PERG.
I cannot say enough good things about him. I am thoroughly enjoying his class, and he is my counselor as well. Will uplift you when having a bad day. Lectures are interesting. Lets you leave whenever to get a coffee. The most real and caring human being on campus. Please please take his class, you will not regret it.
Prof. Ruess is a genuinely kind human being. From teaching to being a phenomenal counselor, in all areas great. If you don't get the chance to take any of his classes ask for him in the counseling office!!
Being a counselor he knows what is best for his students. He Gives advice for academic and life success, using his own life experiences as well. He is very calm and respectful to all his students and is funny at times. Two presentations, multiple extra credits and pop quizzes and two test a mid-term and final.
Honestly the most helpful person Ive experienced in my time at Mesa college. He is SO nice and really cares about your well-being. Im taking his personal growth class next semester and Im actually very excited about it
Awesome teacher, even though it is an 8 AM class, Reuss makes it fun and easy to keep along. As long as you show up & listen then it's an easy A, most of his tests and quizzes are on his lectures and nothing to do with the textbook (he uses an online textbook so it's free).
Professor Reuss made an 8am class fun which I thought was impossible. The lectures are fun and interactive. Participation is a must in this class. Two tests, mid term and final. The big project would be the presentation/essay which is pretty easy if you rehearse well and make an effort. Easy class.
Anthony Reuss offers plenty of Extra credit which is necessary if you want to get an A in the class. I honestly thought this was an easy cake class but I was wrong, It took real effort compared to my STEM core, and gen ed classes. There are pop quizzes but aren't hard if you paid attention. Beware of the group project though. And PARTICIPATE!!!
Such a wholesome and nice guy. You learn a lot of helpful life skills in this class, although some are obvious and self-explanatory. He is amazing at lectures and very inspirational.
He's a good professor but gets boring at some points, the whole hour is just him talking. He focuses mainly on things I'm pretty sure we all know: time management, goals, etc. I recommend prof. Adam Erlenbusch he's fun and teaches you about happiness as well, he cares about his students, and he brings donuts:) Both prof easy A's.
Ive been working with Reuss for about almost two years, taken his personal growth class for credit and passed. He is inspirational and his lectures are helpful towards school demonstrating how to be successful in classes. You wont regret taking his class, he is also a counselor and is very easy to talk to.
Take this class with Professor Reuss & you won't miss out! Professor Reuss who is also a counselor at Mesa makes this class helpful and full of advice. He is caring, and you can tell he has a genuine desire to help his students. I took this course as my first course at Mesa and it was super enjoyable and helpful in shaping my approach as a student.
Prof. Reuss is very caring and wants to see all his students succeed. He goes above and beyond to make sure every student has the resources to excel not only in his class but life beyond college. He has contributed a lot to my success at Mesa College through his guidance and support. I would recommend this professor to any student!
Anthony Reuss is a great Professor. I took him as high school student, taking a summer course at Mesa. It was an amazing way to start off my college career, specially with this professor and the class. Starting at 8am wasnt the greatest, but Professor always made the morning brighter :) Overall, super kind and caring for his students.
He is the sweetest professor and counselor you will ever meet. He is funny, respectful and optimistic. He made the class so much fun and kept us entertained. He also motivates students a looooot!
I moved to US from Europe recently, Prof. Reuss helped me to pick the best classes, made sure I understand the differences in the system, always answers fast to emails, every problem that you have he will make sure to help you in the best way possible! Great counselor, always there for you, whatever you need. I am very happy to be working w him.
He was generally very kind and willing to listen. He gave a great lack of feedback. He is very stuck in his own views.
Professor Reuss is one of the best professors on campus. He is approachable and is always there for his students . His class work is straight forward. Its about you and how to improve and be successful. He also became my counselor and made sure I was on track. I really recommend to take him class !
I had the pleasure to have Mr. Reuss as both my counselor and personal growth professor and it was the best decision I have made this year. His lectures are inspirational, funny, and relatable and is always available outside of class. As long as you participate and show up this class It is an easy A. I HIGHLY recommend taking his course :)
Professor Reuss class is super fun and full of super interesting information. He is very organized and super consistent with class instructions and work. He is always very open and extremely kind, so he's very laid back when it comes to asking questions or needing help. If you show up and do the work you're guaranteed the grade you want!!
He was a great professor and emphasizes participation. You'll be able to pass as long as you try.
Favorite teacher so far! Definitely recommend you select him. Hes nice, funny, wants whats best for you and just wants you to be able to be a successful student and give you the resources to do so. He gives very little homework but you do have to attend his classes because attendance is a big factor of your grade. Overall the class is not hard:))
this class was the joy of my fall 2020 semester. not anyone can make an online class work this well.
This professor is definitely the BEST! Being new to college especially in covid times is hard, but he did a great job! All you do is show up and participate and do a little reading/homework! He cares for ALL his students. You learn so much about life/school skills that are very useful in life! I would take his class again, and again! Have a blast!
He's such a nice professor! He's funny, caring, and gives good lectures. Sometimes he can get a little bit off-topic, but he always gets back on track. He's very punctual, and participation and attendance are SUPER IMPORTANT! This was my favorite class of this semester, I highly recommend it!
I owe my overall success this last semester to PERG 120 and Professor Reuss. His sense of humor, and thorough lectures, make the course very engaging. I learned so many useful life skills that have influenced my success, not only in my education, but in my career. I honestly wish this class was longer! Trust me, you wont regret taking PERG 120!
Fantastic prof and always willing to help his students. AMAZING counselor as well.
Professor Reuss is definitely a great professor. Attendance is mandatory, every morning we did attendance. His class gave me a better understanding of insiders for college, and the best college tips for news students. His performance as a professor was excellent. I understood every assignment given to me as a student. I recommend this class.
Professor Reuss is a great teacher! He makes things interesting and fun! He taught some really great information about how to succeed in college that I have been using since then. I would recommend this class, even for people who have already been in college for a while. 10/10!
Professor Reuss is a great person who teaches for the sake of helping students succeed. His class is interesting, fun, and useful for you as a student and individual too. Thanks to his lecture, I got to think more about myself, my dreams, my strengths, and my weaknesses. Take his class, and you'll learn to be better at studying!
Professor Reuss is a very good professor. The class was an easy A and Reuss created an engaging classroom environment despite it being an online course. However, I do slightly dislike his teaching style, it felt like a high school class. Attendance every day, calling on people, etc. He tends to stay on one topic for a while and goes on tangents.
Prof. Reuss creates a really engaging class environment despite being remote by offering incentives for more points when you share or participate in class voluntarily. It's really easy to succeed because he gives very clear instructions of what is expected of you. Work load is light and class meetings/lectures are interesting. I highly recommend.
Very good counselor. Answers all your questions and is very helpful. One of the best counselors I've come across
Professor Reuss is an amazing teacher and counselor! He is so genuine and wants the best for his students. Course work is easy and overall really interesting and homework is also super doable and not difficult. I haven't come across a lot of teachers that are as good and thoughtful at Professor Reuss is! If his classes are open...take them!!
Professor Reuss is super caring, by far one of my favorites. Besides being an amazing professor, he is also a wonderful counselor. Make sure to never miss a quiz/exam because you won't be able to retake it, you'll be stuck with that one zero. He is very understanding of any situation just make sure to communicate with him.
He is very about attendance and tardiness so if you're taking an 8 am, good luck. Pretty easy class but it is very participation based, you have to volunteer, or else he picks the same 5 people. Assignments were easy but do NOT leave them last minute. It was stuff I already knew like responsibility, health, etc. but some useful info.
He will put in the same effort you do so as long as you are participating and ask questions he will 100% help you out and go above and beyond at it
He is a great teacher and super funny! Any assigned reading he will provide and he gives you time to do the homework assignments. As long as you show up to class it is an easy A.
Proff Reuss is the best and he really cares about what he is teaching. My PERG 120 class was over the summer, so it was pretty fast paced. It was very easy to keep up with still. Reuss gives very clear instructions for assignments and keeps the lectures very interesting! The class is very enjoyable and a very easy A. Just make sure to participate!
I had Professor's Reuss class at 8am, bad choice... But he never failed to be pumped and engaging that early! He is very welcoming and explains class thoroughly. NOT ALOT OF HOMEWORK... Class is very easy. I didn't go to class that much and was able to catch up considering everything is posted online :)
He is just an amazing Professor all around and he doesn't mind if you show up late because all the lectures and homework is posted on the computer either way. He will allow you to turn in late work if you do need it. homework was not too heavy but overall it was just a very fun experience that I believe other people should try as well.
Prof. Reuss is a counselor teaching a class. The class consists of lecture, reading, quizzes, occasional project. He gives extra credit at the end of the semester and wants you to strive for the highest possible grade. He is incredibly kind and even helped me outside of class with counseling matters. His logic and teaching style could be confusing.
Professor Reuss has been the best professor I've ever had. Taking this class allowed me to looking at tests and assignments in a whole new light. The way Professor Reuss lights up a classroom makes you want to show up to class. He is more than willing to help you in any and every capacity he can. I would 100% recommend this class.
I took Professor Reuss during my fall semester in 2023 and I definitely can say he is an amazing professor. His lectures definitely helped me become a better student. I definitely recommend taking this class and if you are looking for a professor that has interesting lectures, this is it!
Anthony Reuss was my personal growth professor and counselor, and I'm immensely grateful for his assistance. His class helped me to find a balance between school and work. His suggestions were fundamental for my path in Mesa and he always helped me to find clarifications about my classes.I highly recommend Anthony as both a professor and counselor
I had Anthony Reuss for my Personal growth class and then my counselor. He helped me through that last 2 years amd I am now about to transfer to UCSD. If you are able to take any of his classes or have the opportunity to recieve advising from him DO IT!!!
Super engaging professor! Always made the class lively and interactive, especially as an 8AM class I was always excited to attend!
Love Professor Reuss! He is also my counselor and he's so helpful. I had his personal growth class and it was really fun. Super nice and helpful, he wants you to succeed. Always has stories to tell in class.Tests are pretty easy if you study Take this class!
Professor Reuss makes his PERG120 class engaging and enjoyable. The workload is manageable, and he's always willing to help. I'd recommend using unstuckstudy along with the assigned readings to stay on top of the material. Overall, a great class to take!
Professor Reuss is okay but can get very boring during the whole hour you are in class. You have to do 12 Journal Entries which is kinda diffcult to do. He also allows extra credit at the end of the semster. Very Attendance mandatory Mid term was also hard so study if you take him.
He's a great professor! Mr. Reuss' class is fun and sets students up for success in their academic career.
Professor Reuss was always in a good mood, even at 8:00 in the morning. He encourages participation and makes the class a comfortable place to raise your hand. This class was straightforward and helpful for receiving guidance on getting good grades, having motivation, using time wisely, etc.
Professor Reuss was a great instructor! The material we went through made sense, and if it didn't he encouraged office hours. There were a few extra credit opportunities so just try your hardest but there is something to bring your grade back up if something happens. Very caring and wants you to succeed
amazing professor and human being overall. would take his classes again in a heartbeat. he's personable, kind, eager to help, and passionate- he makes learning fun and enjoyable!
I took this class over the summer and I am so glad I did. You can tell Professor Reuss really enjoys teaching and cares for his students and their success. His position as a counselor really opened up the opportunity for in depth access to resources and insight. This class will be what you make it, participate, do the work, and make the most of it.
Professor Reuss is amazing -- very caring about his students. Class is not incredibly difficult, and the Professor makes you want to come every time! Would definitely take this class again.
he is super caring and easy to reach out with if you are interested to raise your grade, many opportunities for extra credit. super personable and interesting to listen to when lecturing.
