This is a review for the online course. I could tell in orientation that he's a great teacher and a funny guy. Unfortunately, I took the 6 week course and got a C. I knew the material, but a lot of the questions weren't psyc questions but recalling the video, which is just stupid. A psyc test should be psyc questions, not video reviews.

My favorite teacher ever. He used to be a drug agent for the gov, so he has some wild stories. You don't HAVE to attend classs, but all that's required to pass is copy his power point (he posts it online also) and scan over it the night before the test, which is 25 m/c q's and EASY. Only drawback is that he likes to teach very early in the morning.

He may be a great teacher for Psych 1, but this wasn't the case for Psych 37. The first month of lectures were good, after that he started hanging on topics, and we didn't even finish the last 2 chapters. Needless to say, he tested us on them anyway, and there were many questions on the final he did not lecture. No textbook req., but it should be.

I took this professor over 10 years ago, and I still refer to him as the BEST teacher I have ever had. If you get the chance to take a class from him.. DO IT! He's fantastic!

Okay seriously, no joke, this professor rocks. He is beyond hilarious, never uses his textbook during class time, and instead uses his cases as "lectures". They're super entertaining, you're never bored in class, I was always laughing, and he's extremely helpful, clear, patient, kind and honestly caring to see you do well. Take him!

This class was extremely easy! What's even better about this class is that he tells you exactly what will be on the quizzes and best yet, the final exam! We had about 3 to 4 quizzes. He's goes on and on about his interesting cases and examples more than his power point lectures. He's super funny! Take this class. You won't regret it.

He is the best! It was a 7:30 class but he was worth it. He was soo funny, and he has actual cases that he experienced which he uses for examples which is really cool. He made it really easy to understand, and he totally helps you prepare for the tests. All of his lectures are online, but it was worth going. DEFIANTLY TAKE HIM

I wasn't the biggest fan of his humor, but my classmates loved him. He repeats himself a lot. All the time. So much. We'd spend an hour class going over one slide. Most of the stuff covered in lecture was not covered on exams. He's nice, but gets a little personal and I thought it inappropriate. Tests are fairly easy, he does help you prepare!

eventhough I got an A, I don't recommend this class because the exams are not from his notes and that really annoyed me. He's a nice professor but makes too many sexual jokes that I didn't like. There're some quizzes and one paper at the end (which is a joke). not an easy A but definitely easy B as long as you go to lectures (which many didn't)

I took Psych 5 around 1994, and later wrote an article about it. Still in my mind. Good teacher, good balance between lecturing and answering questions. Very clear and knowledgeable. I took the class for credit but had to drop it due to a job offer, but it was very important info, and greatly appreciated. Competence in a world of non

Professor Ferguson is one of the funniest people I've ever met. He makes the class enjoyable, but he is very unorganized. It took us a long time to get through his lectures because he goes off on tangents a lot. There's no homework though and only three quizzes and a final. However, he takes his time and he is really just the funniest professor.

Kindest and most thoughtful man I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Class is easy, can use notes on test and gives you answers. The guy genuinely wants to see every single one of his students succeed and be happy.

Super cool professor! He was named best professor at saddleback numerous times! He tends to get off topic a lot so be prepared to listen to a lot of irrelevant side stories. He cares about his students A LOT! Extremely intelligent professor. Take him if you can! You won't regret it

Taught my class until the last month of the semester, then disappeared. His lectures are unforgettable & can be printed. He creates vivid pictures in your head to help remember the information. Before each test (3 tests + 1 final), he shows what he is testing you on. You'll need his book only for the 3 critical thinking chapter q's assignment.

I had Ferguson as a Freshman at Saddleback, it was my first class ever. I personally made the rookie mistake of taking the class at 7:30 AM every Monday and Wednesday. He was a very silly teacher and was able to spark my interest even if I only got a couple hours of sleep the night before and just crawled out of bed.

This class was super easy. 3 tests, all had reviews and he went through it question by question. I personally did not like him because his lectures were all over the place. Nothing was organized, but in the end, it was an easy A. All the homework through the whole semester was 3 chapters in his casebook. Don't get it. It's not worth it

Seriously the best teacher ever. He has the class laughing basically the entire time. His lectures are interesting because he brings in cases he has actually worked. He is so sweet and genuinely wants you to succeed. BEST TEACHER/MAN EVER.

Amazing professor with a great sense of humor. Easy lecture notes. If you don't show up to class you can fall behind. Take every opportunity of extra credit offered by the professor.
